Driven soft matter at the nanoscale
[eng] This thesis will present a body of articles on the research topic of soft matter. Soft matter is a research subfield of condensed matter, where the energy required for deforming the media is comparable to that of ...
Inkjet printing next-generation flexible devices: memristors, photodetectors and perovskite LEDs
[eng] New pressures due to emerging trends in device manufacturing are driving research efforts in new materials and manufacturing processes to achieve new combinations of properties, including capabilities such as physical ...
Anisotropic interactions and self-bound solutions in Bose-Einstein condensates
[eng] Bose-Einstein condensation is a direct consequence of quantum statistical effects. It occurs in ultradilute gases at very low temperatures: most atoms condense into the lowest-energy state and behave as a single ...
Born to be bound: Intermolecular interactions and thermodynamics in RNA folding
[eng] This thesis focuses on RNA, one of the most versatile molecules in biological systems, and how intermolecular interactions with ions and proteins govern RNA folding. On its way to biological function, RNA transits a ...
Combinatorial and Machine Learning Techniques for Complex Thin Film Photovoltaics: Accelerated Research and Process Monitoring Methodologies
[eng] Materials and thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) devices exhibit a high level of complexity, characterized by their multi scale, multi layer, and multi element structures, along with complex manufacturing processes. ...
Synthesis and Characterization of UV-Selective Oxide-based Transparent Thin Film Solar Cells
[eng] The work presented in this thesis book has been carried out during the period 2019-2022 within the Solar Energy Materials and Systems (SEMS) group at the Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya (IREC) located in ...
Subjetivació política i canvi societal: Una anàlisi psicosocial crítica del Procés Independentista Català
[cat] Aquesta tesi es pregunta per les (re)configuracions de l’experiència subjectiva pròpies dels cicles de protesta contemporanis. Per aproximar aquesta qüestió, em centro en el moviment independentista català de la ...
Functional connectivity at multiple scales: From neuronal cultures to human brain
[eng] One of the greatest challenges in the field of neuroscience is to obtain an accurate functional description of the brain that allows us to understand the functioning of higher complexity cognitive processes such ...
Efficacy of Mindfulness Based Swinging Technique (MBST) for Improving Anxiety, Stress, Hopelessness and Self Efficacy among Breast Cancer Patients in Treatment
[eng] Stress, anxiety, and hopelessness are found to be the most common reasons for psychological counselling for breast cancer patients. Due to the complexity of the medical treatment of cancer, patients often lose hope ...
Exploring violence and vulnerability: Experiences of victimization among adults with intellectual disabilities
[eng] People with intellectual disabilities (ID) seem to be at an increased risk of experiencing interpersonal victimization, especially for the most violent types, such as physical and sexual aggression. However, figure ...
Self-generation effects: beyond sensory processing
[eng] Our actions shape our everyday experience: what we experience, how we perceive and remember it, is deeply affected by how we interact with the world. Performing an action to deliver a stimulus engages neurophysiological ...
Hippocampal theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in memory encoding and retrieval
[eng] Deciphering the mechanism of human memory formation and retrieval is one of the still unsolved mysteries of neurosciences. Theoretical models of underlying mechanisms of memory formation and retrieval have led the ...
Intervención psicosocial en Chile. Racionalidad neoliberal, subjetividades profesionales y posibilidades de resistencia
[spa] En esta tesis indagamos en la (des)articulación entre las subjetividades profesionales, implicadas en la intervención psicosocial en Chile, y la racionalidad neoliberal. Examinamos cómo estas subjetividades se ven ...
Formación en prácticas centradas en la família para estudiantes de posgrado: una propuesta formativa centrada en la reflexión
[spa] La formación profesional basada en evidencia científica constituye un elemento clave para adoptar Prácticas Centradas en la Familia (Dunst, 2015; Gràcia et al., 2019). Es necesario formar profesionales reflexivos en ...
