Low-cost airlines proved more resilient during the pandemic due to their lower exposure to international long-haul traffic. They operated in regional markets and benefited from consolidation since 2001, increasing their market share from 5.3% to 37.3%.
The redesigned course overcomes obstacles of collaborative learning online, including teacher confidence, student resistance, and plagiarism. The five key elements - student-focused and active, structured in phases, multi-format, 360 assessment, and proactive online professor - improve student satisfaction and teamwork skills.
A study by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya found that interacting with successful women in STEM fields inspires girls to pursue these careers. The intervention also reduces negative perceptions of math abilities for girls and challenges traditional gender stereotypes.
A study from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya found that people who played video games regularly as children performed better in working memory tasks even after stopping. However, those without gaming experience showed slower performance and did not benefit from improvements in processing irrelevant stimuli.
Researchers found that actively using two languages enhances cognitive reserve and delays the onset of symptoms associated with cognitive decline and dementia. The study suggests that bilingualism is an important predictor of delay in the onset of mild cognitive impairment, a preclinical phase of Alzheimer's disease.
A study by UOC researchers found that sexist views within families can impact academic decisions, with girls more likely to confront sexism and seek help, while boys tend to avoid it. The study also highlights the importance of educating both boys and girls on equality and dealing with sexism.
Researchers found that informal knowledge exchanges are more valuable than formal learning in healthcare settings, leading to a faster and more equal response to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. This suggests that organizations should prioritize equality among staff and foster dialogue and participation.
Researchers developed a post-processing algorithm to increase the quality of reconstructed CT images while reducing noise and radiation exposure. The new method enhances tissue discrimination by 60%, enabling better decision-making for further treatments.
Researchers suggest that tobacco use contributes to the disparity in COVID-19 mortality rates between men and women in Spain, with over 30% of deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease. The study calls for increased data collection on tobacco use among those infected and measures to curb smoking during the pandemic.
A European research project highlights the need for more resources and greater gender competence to make science equality measures effective. The study analyzed 19 interventions in six countries, including Spain, and found that Spanish institutions have one of the most advanced legislative frameworks but lack sufficient resources.
The analysis shows an increase in female homicide victims starting in the 1960s, associated with the evolution of women's role and status in society. Female homicide mortality does not follow a steady line over the century, with an upward trend linked to changes in women's daily routines.
A study on co-creation in research reveals the benefits of collaborative models, including improved communication dynamics and decision-making techniques. Practical tools for managing cross-disciplinary research projects have been developed to address the challenges of complexity and diversity.
