Wikidata is a free knowledge base, editable by any user, which has experienced exponential growth since its creation to become one of the largest public knowledge repositories on the Internet at this moment. However, there are few studies on geographic information storage and analysis in Wikidata, among other reasons, because there is no explicit methodology for it. Thus, this research proposes a method that includes 6 phases that allows the introduction of a huge amount of geographic data in Wikidata, which in turn will be available for spatial analysis using a GIS. This methodology has been implemented through the introduction of a large database of geodesic 11.143 triangulation stations of Spain. It represents a contribution to geography, since it allows the use of large Wikidata databases in a GIS, which can help improve the efficiency of models that make use of such information.

The present work has four objectives: 1) to document the existence of a place called La Barrosa (barro= mud) on the ancient coast of Doñana, 2) to locate it spatially, 3) to hypothesise about its origin, and 4) to describe its uses over time. To this end, written and cartographic sources from the 15th to 18th centuries have been analysed and contrasted with the geomorphological and archaeological information available for the area. The analysis of documentary sources has made it possible not only to determine the spatial location of La Barrosa, but also to appreciate its temporal evolution in relation to the dune dynamics and its changes of use. La Barrosa must have disappeared during the first half of the 17th century with the set in motion of the dunes and coastal progradation. However, the presence of mud appears in the description of the Doñana coast in 1743 with a new place name, El Guerrero. The description of the existence of different materials suggests that a Roman settlement may have existed at the site of La Barrosa/El Guerrero.

Although the pre-pandemic tourism debate was led by Overtourism, when the pandemic erupted, the increasing literature on this topic was still in an initial stage. The mobility restrictions derived from Covid-19 stopped Overtourism, but the problem is still far from being eradicated. There is an increasingly need for a solid body of knowledge on which to build recovery to avoid making past mistakes. A comprehensive pre-pandemic literature review is carried out, by proposing an overtourism conceptual framework that integrates its causes and consequences. How the pandemic could become an opportunity to transition to a responsible tourism model is discussed.

The main objective is to analyze the links between Bolivian migrant households residing in Villa 20 of the City of Buenos Aires (Argentina) with their country of origin. Specifically, to investigate the characteristics of multi-local practices and the impact of border closures in the global context of the COVID-19 pandemic. To carry out this work, a multi-method methodological strategy was used that combines qualitative and quantitative procedures. Among the main results, the practice of plurilocality stands out as part of family reproduction strategies on a scale that exceeds the limits of the neighborhood. The government measure to close borders in the face of the pandemic generated a decrease in this type of cross-border mobility, but informally increased others.

Emotional intelligence is becoming more and more relevant in a multitude of fields, including business. This current prominence has led different currents of work to suggest that emotional intelligence is an important factor for effective leadership in organisations. Our study focused on the analysis of the emotional intelligence of university students for two reasons: on the one hand, the task of leadership is a complex task, both because of the functions developed in themselves, and because of the skills and requirements needed. On the other hand, university students, particularly those related to management studies, may potentially be involved in future selection processes for positions of responsibility. The process carried out to find out the degree of such intelligence, to predict their leadership abilities and their possibilities of adapting to relevant roles, has been instrumented through an adaptation of the Petrides Self-Report questionnaire in its short form. Similarly, we sought to identify the main dimensions that make up emotional intelligence, based on an initial research proposal by the aforementioned author. The results found regarding the self-assessment of university students show a very small standard error of the mean, meaning that the responses collected are fairly accurate with respect to reality. Therefore, in conclusion, in the questions posed regarding self-assessment of competences and emotional intelligence to assume positions of responsibility, it can be affirmed that the students show a medium-high level of EI. This reflects a clear tendency to offer a high level of self-assessment, showing a significant level of self-confidence and security. In addition, among the final considerations, different possible lines of future research have been suggested, seeking alternatives to implement measures to mitigate the subjectivity in the assessments, through the questionnaires themselves or the design of the questions, or proposing to design new teaching methodologies to develop the dimensions of students’ emotional intelligence identified through this study.

In the context of the regional competitiveness of the Spanish Autonomous Communities (CC.AA.) based on the companies that transfer university knowledge, the Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) and the Scientific Parks from Universities, as well as the business incubators. This research analyzes in depth, through a participant observation methodology and qualitative techniques, the case of the innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem of public universities in the Community of Madrid, and compares it with Andalusia. In the case of Madrid (uniprovincial region), together with the TTO, the role played by the Madri+d Foundation for Knowledge and its Technology-Based Entrepreneur Support Office as coordinator of a regional university network stands out, while in Andalusia the role of the regional TTO Network and the 10 science or technology parks that exist in the multi-provincial macro-region. The SWOT comparative diagnosis is complemented, as a conclusion, with a CAME strategy proposal for sustainable support for innovative ecosystems of university spin-offs.

The articulation of cooperation strategies between the University, public institutions, municipal governments and local stakeholders (community leaders, farm owners, teachers, pastors, among others) represents an important effort that contributes to the enhancement of the archaeological heritage of the communities that own these resources. Efforts that, in economic, social and cultural terms, represent great benefi ts for the families and their inhabitants, creating synergies between knowledge-science-society. The extensionist experiences, from social archeology, in the municipalities of Santa María, City of Nueva Segovia, Diriá and Granada, show the impact of such articulation, from the recognition and re-reading among the inhabitants, of their environment and how this new way of understanding it, contributes to the strengthening of their local identities. The scientifi c contribution provided by UNAN-Managua, together with the knowledge shared by the inhabitants of these municipalities during the interaction period (the time the research lasted) represents a source that contributes to the feedback process between the researchers and the community. In this sense, the main purpose of this work is to share successful experiences of articulation between the University and local governments in archaeological research, to get to know their historical and cultural environment, so that it can be used to the benefi t of the families, communities and the support of the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) can give.

This research paper was carried out in the first semester 2022, as a graduation modality to earn a degree in psychology, whose purpose is to analyze the psychosocial factors affecting the learning of hearing deficient students in secondary school at Isaiah 29:18, Christian school. This research has a sample of seven students whose ages are from 12 to 22 years old, using a quantitative method. The main methods of data collection were semi-structured interviews with students, teachers and parents. Subsequently, dyscalculia and dysgraphia worksheets were applied, allowing the identification of the specific difficulties presented by the students, a focus group and the application of the Weil nonverbal test. As a result of the research, three factors that affect the students were identified, which are: little knowledge of sign language by parents, poor detection of learning difficulties and a deficit in parental involvement. In favor of the educational work of teachers and parents, playful strategies and visual techniques that will contribute to the management of learning difficulties are proposed.
