Summary
This research work is a preliminary study in which some of the physical and physical-mechanical properties of the wood of seven orange trees from the town of Vallada, in the province of Valencia (Spain), were analysed. One basal log of length 32 cm and approximate weight 6 kg was extracted from the trunk of each of the 7 trees. The logs were transported to a joinery shop, where a total of 508 specimens of dimensions 4 x 4 x 2 cm and 2 x 2 x 4 cm were prepared, in accordance with the requirements established in the test standards for the determination of wood properties on small defect-free specimens. Several measurements were made on the specimens to determine the chromatic characteristics, density, dimensional stability, moisture, hardness and some anatomical properties of the orange wood. The measurements show that the Citrus sinensis wood is semi-hard, approaching medium-high values when considering density. The wood is fast-growing (annual growth rings with an average width of 5.5 mm) and is classified as semi-heavy or heavy (745 kg/m3 at 12 % moisture content), with a tendency to high shrinkage and a medium shrinkage coefficient. The wood is influenced by changes in moisture, but the risk of deformation is not high, due to its low anisotropy. The orange tree wood has a characteristic yellowish shade. Specimens with pith have significantly narrower rings and lower density, while specimens without pith are denser, as is typical of more mature wood located at the outermost areas of the trunk. Two models were proposed for estimating volumetric shrinkage and tangential shrinkage, with oven-dry density as the predictor variable.

Summary
An automotive manufacturing company requested the automation of the airbag building process. The entire process involves several robots responsible for placing textiles and bushings, which are small metal parts, into a plastic injection mold. This project focuses on programming a robot located at a station that includes a bushing feeding system and a placement table with four defined positions where the robot must place the bushings, so they can later be collected by another robot that is outside the scope of this project. The objective of this project is to automate the process of picking and placing bushings on the table using an ABB IRB1200-5/0.9 robotic arm. To achieve this, it will be necessary to simulate the tasks assigned to the robot in ABB’s RobotStudio software and program its various behaviors. Safety measures will also be programmed to ensure the safety of all components within the cell. Once all this is done, the setup will be transferred to the real station.

Summary
Ionophore antibiotics such as lasalocid, salinomycin, and narasin are widely used as coccidiostats in intensive livestock farming. They are excreted in large amounts, up to 90 % of the dose, through feces and urine, entering the soil via manure or slurry, which can cause environmental contamination and public health risks. This study analyzed the ability of 8 soils with different properties to retain these ionophores and prevent their transfer to water or crops, both in simple and binary systems. Ten residual materials were also evaluated as potential bioadsorbents: untreated materials (ash, shell, bark, coffee grounds, grape pomace), hydrochars (from municipal waste, green waste, wood, and grape pomace), and biochar (from eucalyptus biomass). Batch-type experiments were conducted with antibiotic doses ranging from 100 to 1000 micromoles per liter (micromol L-1) to study both adsorption and desorption. Both soils and residues showed high adsorption capacity for the three antibiotics, greater than 90 %, especially at higher doses, with this adsorption being largely irreversible (desorption less than 5 %), except in the case of LAS, in the SAL and LAS system, in soils poor in organic matter and non-crystalline minerals, where desorption ranged from 50 to 100 %. In soils, synergies were observed between NAR and SAL, as well as between NAR and LAS, and an antagonistic effect of both on LAS. In the residues, interactions were limited and focused on LAS, with NAR showing synergistic, antagonistic, or neutral effects depending on the material, and SAL showing synergistic effects in some cases. All residual materials, both untreated and treated, proved effective as bioadsorbents, with coffee grounds and grape pomace standing out for their retention capacity, which was similar to or greater than that of hydrochars and biochar, without requiring prior treatment. This makes them a sustainable and cost-effective option for removing these antibiotics.

Summary
This Final Degree Project presents the design, development, and implementation of an industrial communication system based on technologies used in Industry 4.0. This project applys the OPC UA standard using the Publisher/Subscriber (Pub/Sub) communication model and employs the MQTT protocol as a transport layer. The system is developed through a network of Siemens S7-1500 PLCs that act as both subscribers and publishers of data, a Raspberry Pi configured as an MQTT broker and web server, and finally a web page for system monitoring, which can be accessed from any device on the local network. Throughout the project, the PLCs have been configured with specific functions for the publication and subscription of OPC UA messages encoded in JSON format. In addition, a web page has been developed using React, which allows real-time visualization of production data and trend analysis. The results obtained from the project demonstrate that the system provides a flexible, scalable, and efficient solution for the monitoring of industrial processes, which can be scaled up to real industrial systems. The system also provides a foundation for future expansions, such as the inclusion of security mechanisms, user authentication, or historical data storage.

Summary
This is a 15 x 30 meter warehouse to house machinery for a cattle farm. Located in Taboada (Lugo). The plot on which the building will be built is owned by the developer and is maintained as a natural pasture, with no productive use, through periodic clearing. It has vehicle access, the possibility of connection to the electricity grid, a water supply, and a connection to the sewage system. The farm is a family business, dedicated exclusively to dairy production. The developer currently rents a warehouse to a neighbor, who charges €3,000 per year. The developer has told the developer that they need the warehouse and need to remove the machinery from there. For this reason, they have decided to build the warehouse on a property adjacent to the production barn. The objective of the project is to define the facilities for the covered storage of the farm's machinery, providing sufficient space for easy maneuverability.

Summary
This work involves developing an occupational risk prevention plan on a cattle farm. I will deepen the processes carried out, their corresponding risks, and how to avoid or minimize them, all with the help of the applicable regulatory framework, which I will detail throughout the work. My purpose in this work is to provide a critical approach about the tasks are performed. Work in the agricultural sector is arduous and exhaustive, and it generates a multitude of occupational risks, to which workers are exposed in each of the production processes. Currently, worker health and safety has become a fundamental pillar in any work environment, both from a legal and ethical perspective. Therefore, the implementation of an occupational risk prevention plan has become an essential tool to guarantee the safety and health of workers
This work involves developing an occupational risk prevention plan on a cattle farm. I will deepen the processes carried out, their corresponding risks, and how to avoid or minimize them, all with the help of the applicable regulatory framework, which I will detail throughout the work. My purpose in this work is to provide a critical approach about the tasks are performed. Work in the agricultural sector is arduous and exhaustive, and it generates a multitude of occupational risks, to which workers are exposed in each of the production processes.

Summary
This document serves as Final Degree Project for the Degree in Forestry and Environmental Engineering, with a mention in forest exploitations. It is a forest management plan for the Roca communal forest (Guitiriz, Lugo, Galicia), comprising 212,61 ha. First, the legal and administrative situation of the forest was defined. Subsequently, a description of the forest station, including the orography, climatology, geology, edaphology and natural resources was made. It is a forest with a variable topography, which areas of big and small slopes. The soils are acidic, dominated by slates, schists and quartzites. The climate is favourable for the grow of forest species, but it must be considered that there are two months of drought in the summer season, such as July and August. The forest was then divided into homogeneous strata based on the dominant species, age and density of the stands. An inventory of forest resources was carried out in those strata whose main function is wood production, in this case the Pinus radiata stands. Also was inventoried a stratum populated by broadleaved trees such as Betula pubescens and Eucalyptus nitens, whose destination is the production of wood and firewood. The stocks and the measurement error in the inventory were calculated. The forest management method called ”Método de ordenación por Rodales” was selected, so the forest was divided in stands as permanent management, inventory and felling units. the actions to be carried out in the next 10 years were planned, highlighting the selection of Pinus pinaster to change the current Pinus radiata productive stands. Finally, an estimate financial balance between the expected income and expenses for the next 10 years were done, obtaining a profit of 4.241.004,48 €.

Summary
The aim of this Project is to build a shed with all the necessary facilities to carry out the transition or weaning pase of the piglets. To this end, the necessary Works and facilities will be defined to accomodate 4.600 piglets, making work as easy as posible and guarenteeing animal welfare. In addition, two flexible tanks will be installed next to the shed for the storage of the slurry generated on the farm, thus avoiding accidental spills. The farm will be located in the village of Mariz, in the municipality of Guitiriz, province of Lugo. The plot is owned by the developer and has easy road access, wáter supply and electricity supply. Due to its Good meat aptitude, with a good carcass yield and great fattening of the same, the crossbreed used will be Landrace x Largue White. The piglets transition cycle will last approximately 6 weeks (35 days of transition plus 7 days of sanitary vacuum), with an all in, all out regime. They will arrive at 28 days old and weigh approximately 6 kg, and will leave at 63 days old, weighing approximately 20 kg of live weight. Before the execution of the works, the legal, developer and project conditions will be taken into account. In the project we will focus on the design and constrution calculations of the shed, as well as theinstallations necessary for its operation (electricity, sanitation, plumbing, zootechnics, heating, ventilation and refrigeration). On the economic side, the project includes a detailed estimate of the costs of its execution. These costs of execution by contract after taxes amount to the amount of 1.658.626,13 €. In addition, an economic financial análisis is also included, which concludes de viability of the project and a schedule of the works will be carried out in 100 days. Finally, we will carry out a Health and Safety Study, which explains the basic rules to be followed in carrying out the work to prevent possible accidents.

Summary
This work focuses on the design and implementation of an extensive beef cattle farm on Communal Land of Barbanza, Xaramelo, and Granxa do Navío, located in the municipality of Boiro (A Coruña). The main objective is to reconcile profitable livestock production with the conservation of the natural environment, through the reduction of plant biomass as a preventive measure against wildfires, the improvement of biodiversity in the area, and the sustainable use of natural resources. The farm will consist of 207 Caldelá breed beef cattle (with a stocking rate of 0.60 LSU/ha), structured through a rotational grazing system divided into six distinct areas. The design was based on a stratification of the land carried out through an analysis of the coverage of the main existing plant species, with the aim of estimating the available grazing resources. The total area of the land is 530.84 hectares, of which 519.84 hectares are allocated to the farm, including stands of Pinus pinaster, Eucalyptus globulus, and shrubland without tree cover. The design includes minimal infrastructure, such as perimeter fencing, cattle guards, and access gates.

Summary
This study evaluates the effect of different methodologies of sampling unit design or observational design in a forest inventory on the estimation of the main stand variables. For this purpose, data from a 17.64 hectares test plot, located in Castro de Rei (Lugo, Spain) and dominated by Pinus radiata D. Don and Pinus Pinaster Ait species, were used. Digital cartographic information of the study area was available, as well as data on species, height, diameter at breast height and position of all trees. All this information was normalized to a single format that allowed its spatial combination. The following stand variables were calculated from this data: number of trees per hectare, basal area, volume, aboveground biomass and carbon content. A grid of points was then generated to be used as the basis for distributing the sampling plots, excluding those that were not completely included within the inventory area. Estimates of stand variables were made for three sampling methodologies: fixed radius plots (with radii from 5 to 20 meters, with intervals of 1 m), k th neighbour plots (k values between 3 and 15, with intervals of 1), and relascopic sampling plots (bandwidths of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.25, 1.4142, 1.5, 1.75, and 2). In addition to comparing the estimates obtained for each stand variable, the operational efficiency of each design was evaluated by recording the time required in field for characterizing the different sampling units. Finally, the influence of the sample design factors on the bias, precision and accuracy of the estimates, the measurement effort required and the number of plots necessary to reach different levels of error were analyzed in order to identify the most efficient and representative sampling configurations for this type of forest stands.

Summary
Currently, there’s a growing need for the development of wireless energy transmission systems, due to the emergence of remote devices and vehicles (UAVs, space satellites, etc.) with functional requirements that hinder the usage of large on-board batteries. Recently, laser-based energy transmission techniques have been studied and applied, which are still in their early stages of development. In this context, this work seeks to develop a model for an automatic aligning system for a laser source, with the goal of illustrating its functioning principles, as well as studying its main advantages and disadvantages. During this work, tools such as PyBullet, FreeCAD, KiCAD and basic electronic components will be used to build a demonstrator robot in a simulation, which will be later carried over onto the real world in the form of two unique prototypes.

Summary
Diospyros kaki Thunb., also called persimmon Japanese lotus or palo-santo, is a species belonging to the family Ebenaceae, whose genus Diospyros is the most important of this family in the relation to its wood. Most of the cultivated varieties of persimmon are used for their fruits. In the treatment for obtaining fruit, a series of waste that can be used for biomass is generated, in addition to the final use of the wood resulting from the cutting of unproductive, dead trees, those that suffer from some type of ailment or that are inappropriate for production of fruit. The wood thus obtained could be assigned a certain destination depending on its properties, which is also a potential carbon sink. Moreover, uses of this wood are documented for the manufacture of furniture, musical instruments, decorative objects, golf sticks and others. There is a great amount of information about persimmons in terms of production fruit. On the other hand, there is searce information about the characteristics of the wood of this species. The objective of this study is to have knowledge about the physical properties of the wood of this species, in order to give other types of uses in addition to those already known. From the results obtained on the sample, in the experimental phase and in the subsequent data processing, it can be stated that it is a wood that is very sensitive to the attack of chromogenic fungi, lighter than other species of the same genus, hard, easily deformable and prone to cracks in the drying processes. It is recommended for its characteristics for one in furniture and interior carpentry.

Summary
In the industrial robotics laboratory, we have a Kawasaki RS003N robotic arm and Festo workstations controlled by PLC S7-15000, in this case the processing one was chosen. The main objective of this document is to describe the procedure followed to control the robotic arm and implement an intelligent storage system in coordination with the aforementioned workstation and an artificial vision camera. Initially, the configuration of the robot's inputs and outputs was carried out using a PCB card. To overcome the limitations of the robot's native language (AS Language), the UDP connection was used to communicate the robot with a computer, allowing the execution of Python scripts that help coordinate calculation and other complex operations such as camera control. This camera, the Luxonis OAK-D, was implemented for the detection and location of objects using ArUco markers, facilitating the precise manipulation of the parts. Through the communication between the camera and the robot, when the camera detects a part, it sends a signal to the robot so that it can proceed to manipulate and store the part in its corresponding position. As a culmination of the project, the collaboration between the robotic arm and the Festo processing station, scheduled in TIA Portal, was implemented, where the station processes the parts and releases them into a camera-controlled warehouse. This integration allowed an automated and coordinated flow for the handling and storage of the parts, demonstrating the feasibility of the integration of advanced hardware and software for the efficient control of an industrial robotic system.

Summary
This Final Degree Project presents the development of an automated measurement system for 3D printers, specifically designed for the pharmaceutical environment, where precision and hygiene are essential factors. The system integrates two main sensors: a photoelectric switch sensor, which replaces the conventional physical button and is used to calculate the Z-offset, i.e., the relative height between the printing tip and the base; and a dual-output GRK-50N laser sensor, used to obtain the measurements of blister packs, detect the centers of their compartments, and calculate the inclination of each mold. This enables both the subsequent filling and the execution of individual quality control per compartment. Additionally, this sensor allows for accurate printer homing and the generation of the heightmap (bed height map), replacing the traditional Z-probe or contact probe, which could only perform these tasks via physical contact. This new system not only allows for greater automation and precision, but also eliminates the need for direct contact, reducing the risk of contamination an especially critical aspect in pharmaceutical applications. The document presents both the system design and the results of tests under various conditions, which validate the proposal and demonstrate its feasibility.

Summary
This document is the final project for a degree in Forest and Environmental Engineering, focusing on the planning of a regeneration feeling plan for the communal forest of Vilarchao (A Fonsagrada, Lugo). Timber harvesting is justified by the interest of the property and because the stand is at rotation age (73 years old). The legal status of the plot is being analysed, in accordance with Decree 50/2014 and Law 7/2012 on forests in Galicia. There are no environmental or legal conditions that prevent harvesting. The area is included in the «Eo, Oscos e Terras de Burón» Biosphere Reserve. From a natural perspective, the terrain is described as gentle sloping, with soil composed of black slates from Luarca and a humid oceanic climate without summer drought. Vegetation is dominated by Pinus sylvestris, accompanied by shrub species such as Rubus spp. and Ulex europaeus L.. No pests or diseases were identified. To quantify the volume of wood, a forest inventory was conducted using random sampling in circular plots with a radius of 8 m. Within these plots, the diameter at breast height of all trees and a sample of heights were measured. The data were processed using Qforestry's INVFOR and CUBIPRO applications (www.qforestry.com), providing an estimation of timber stock and classification of wood into commercial products. The estimated sales price of standing timber was based on market prices and harvesting conditions. The plan justifies the need for harvesting, proposing possible future management prescriptions. The technical specifications for the harvesting operation are detailed. The economic valuation of the harvesting estimates a gross income of € 380.554,36. The plan also includes annexes with photographs of the current state of the forest, landowner approval, inventory data, terms and conditions, and applicable legislation.

Summary
Lactation curves are one of the most important management tools when managing a dairy farm, both for the management and for the selection of animals. They consist of a graphical representation of the daily production before the day of breastfeeding. In this work, a bibliographical review of the importance of the lactation curve and the most important models (Wood, Wilmink, and Ali- Schaeffer) is carried out in addition to constructing a spline-type model. The four models are compared and the determination of which of them is the best to fit the data, which were obtained from a farm in Dairy Control. The models are also compared by adjusting with data from individual cows and grouping them into clusters according to production.

Summary
This Final Degree Project explores the integration and adaptation of a multimodal policy in the field of adaptive robotic control. The project focuses on the fine-tuning of a pretrained model from Octo, optimizing it for application in manipulation tasks with the UR5e robotic arm assisted by an IDS camera. The main objective is to evaluate the capability to interpret multimodal commands (image and text) and generate control actions in changing environments. To this end, an experimental system is proposed that combines visual perception and linguistic reasoning in order to improve the robot’s autonomy and flexibility in unprogrammed tasks, also facilitating its operation by non-expert users. The work includes a comparative analysis of the model’s performance across various commands and fine-tuning configurations, examining the influence of proprioceptive data and visual references through success and efficiency metrics.

Summary
This document serves as Final Degree Project for the Forestry Engineering and Natural Environment Degree, with a mention in Forestry Exploitation. It is a forest management plan of “Labradías e pico de Montouto” communal forest (Ribas de Sil, Lugo, Galicia), which covers 121,45 hectares. A legal, administrative and natural description of the forest, defining its orography, climatology, geology, edaphology and biology, is done. It is a forest with a complex configuration of the terrain, characterised by steep slopes. The soils are acidic, dominated by slate and schist. The climate is favourable for forestry, but there are two months of drought in the summer, since the forest is situates in a zone of transition to the mediterranean climate. A stratification of the forest into homogeneous areas based on the dominant species, age and main forest form was done. An inventory of the forest resources in those strata whose main function is the timber production (those populated with Pinus radiata and Castanea sativa) was also done. With the data of the forest inventory, the stock, volume, growth and sampling error were calculated. The forest management option chosen was the so-called “Método de ordenación por rodales”. For them the forest was divided into stands (“rodales”), which will be future management, inventory and cutting units (in the so-called “Plan general”). The actions for the next ten years (“Plan especial”) were planned, highlighting the replacement of the Pinus radiata plantations with other Pinus pinaster plantations. Finally, a financial balance between income and expenses expected for the next ten years was done, resulting in expected benefits of 104.636,10 €.

Summary
The multifunctional use of forests allows for the diversification of their products, with Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFPs) standing out as a sustainable and profitable alternative. Among these, pine resin is gaining increasing relevance due to its industrial demand and its potential as a substitute for petroleum-derived products. In Galicia, where this resource was traditionally not exploited significantly, new initiatives are being developed to boost its extraction and optimize production processes in order to better capitalize on this natural resource. In this context, the present bachelor’s thesis focuses on optimizing resin harvesting in stands of Pinus pinaster Ait., using the mechanized circular tapping method, and evaluating its efficiency under the specific conditions of the Galician territory. This study also addresses both resin production and the labor performance of resin harvesters. The research was conducted in four experimental plots located in Culleredo, Baroña, and Agolada, where different treatments were applied to analyze the influence of factors such as bag type and cutting renewal frequency on resin production. Simultaneously, an analysis was carried out of the evolution of work times among professional and novice resin harvesters throughout the harvesting season, considering tasks such as tree-to-tree movement, trunk drilling, application of stimulating paste, and bag placement. The results demonstrate that the mechanization of the process allows for greater standardization compared to traditional techniques, reducing variability in yields and facilitating the planning of time and costs. The work time analysis shows that while professional harvesters maintained a consistent performance, novices progressively improved their productivity, increasing by 35% and even surpassing the speed of professionals by the end of the campaign. The introduction of new stimulating paste applicators optimized execution times, and the 21-day cutting frequency revealed greater production efficiency. These findings have important implications for the professionalization of the resin sector, providing a solid foundation for its sustainable expansion in Galicia.

Summary
The study addresses the improvement of sustainability in a hop plantation (Humulus lupulus L.) of the Nugget variety, located in Abegondo, province of A Coruña (Spain), due to the need for its production for the brewing industry. The study analyzes the interaction between climatic factors, soil characteristics and agricultural management systems, with emphasis on irrigation, fertilization and production quality. It focused on two irrigation lines (sectors 1 and 2), where key parameters such as soil water content, relative water content in leaves (RWC) and chlorophyll index (ICC) were evaluated. Modern technologies such as Teros 10 sensors to measure soil moisture and portable fluorimeters for chlorophyll were used. In addition, a phenological monitoring of the crop was carried out using the BBCH scale, monitoring 6 plants from lines 5 and 10 (sector 1) and lines 20 and 25 (sector 2). The results obtained showed that the drip irrigation system was effective in maintaining soil moisture during the critical months, although inequalities in water distribution were identified. However, the water dose did not significantly influence parameters such as productivity with a MS/PF ratio (0.242) and total fresh weight of floral cones per plant (2,708 kg in sector 1 and 2,494 kg in sector 2.) Despite unfavorable weather conditions in 2023, such as high temperatures and irregular rainfall, the floral cones reached adequate quality, with good levels of alpha-acids and moderate levels of beta-acids. The fertilization analysis concluded that the nitrogen doses applied were lower than those recommended, which could have limited yield at some stages of the crop cycle. This demonstrates the crop's ability to adapt, although the importance of adjusting management strategies to mitigate the effects of water and nutritional stress is underlined.

In addition, a phenological monitoring of the crop was carried out using the BBCH scale, monitoring 6 plants from lines 5 and 10 (sector 1) and lines 20 and 25 (sector 2). The results obtained showed that the drip irrigation system was effective in maintaining soil moisture during the critical months, although inequalities in water distribution were identified. However, the water dose did not significantly influence parameters such as productivity with a MS/PF ratio (0.242) and total fresh weight of floral cones per plant (2,708 kg in sector 1 and 2,494 kg in sector 2.) Despite unfavorable weather conditions in 2023, such as high temperatures and irregular rainfall, the floral cones reached adequate quality, with good levels of alpha-acids and moderate levels of beta-acids. The fertilization analysis concluded that the nitrogen doses applied were lower than those recommended, which could have limited yield at some stages of the crop cycle. This demonstrates the crop's ability to adapt, although the importance of adjusting management strategies to mitigate the effects of water and nutritional stress is underlined.

Summary
This Bachelor's Thesis presents the development of an integrated automation solution for a production line in the agri-food sector. The project is based on the experience gained during an internship at El Huevo de la Abuela (Ecocentro S.C.), and aims to improve the performance and traceability of the production process through the use of industrial robotics and computer vision. The proposed solution is structured into three main components: the optimization of the palletizing system using a Yaskawa robotic arm, the design and implementation of computer vision models with the OAK-D camera and YOLOv8, and the automation of GS1-128 label generation based on Excel sheets. The results obtained confirm the technical feasibility of the system and its practical applicability in real production environments.

Summary
Part of the administered antibiotic is excreted and ends up in slurry pits and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludges, subsequently incorporating into soils. This project investigates the competition between antibiotics (amoxicillin, trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin) and copper or arsenic for adsorption sites in six soils and three bioadsorbents (ash, mussel shell, pine bark). Batch-type experiments were conducted in simple systems (adding increasing doses, from 25 to 600 micro mol L-1 of each antibiotic individually) and competitive systems (antibiotic with copper or arsenic at the same concentrations). In soils, AMX shows the lowest adsorption (less than 65%) and highest desorption (up to 50%) in the simple system. However, adsorption increases in binary systems due to the synergistic effect of copper or arsenic. Among the bioadsorbents, ash is the best for retaining AMX, adsorbing it almost entirely and irreversibly. The adsorption rate of CIP in soils is the highest of the three antibiotics, reaching 80% and 100% in all systems, with less than 5% desorption at the highest concentrations. Pine bark is highly effective at retaining CIP, adsorbing it almost completely (100%) and releasing minimal amounts in all systems. TMP reaches over 90% adsorption in soils in the simple system and over 80% in binary systems at the highest concentrations, with low desorption (less than 20%), especially in the former. Pine bark is again the most effective bioadsorbent, showing high adsorption approximately (100%) and low desorption (less than 5%). The results from binary systems highlight that at low doses, copper and arsenic occupy adsorption sites, competing with antibiotics. However, as the dose increases, they enhance the adsorption of the drugs. Ash would be an effective bioadsorbent for AMX, and pine bark for CIP and TMP. These waste materials could be used to decontaminate water or enhance the adsorption capacity of some soils (mainly for AMX and TMP, as CIP is adsorbed almost 100%).

Summary
This Final Degree Project in Forestry and Natural Environment Engineering is a technical study that aims to compare and analyse the productivity and costs of four forestry machines: a 13-tonne Ponsse loader, a 15-tonne John Deere loader, a John Deere 1470E loader and a Volvo excavator adapted to the forestry loader. A mobile application was designed to allow the time spent by each machine to be timed on production operations and other complementary actions. In addition to that, the volumes of different pieces of wood were measured to let each extraction of wood from the plot by the forwarders to be cubed. From the extraction by the forwarder, it was possible to determine the density of each species used in the plot, by means of the weight of the trucks destined for the factory. A cost study was carried out for each machine that made possible to predict the productivity and costs of each combination of machines that performs the use. The results indicated that the most productive machines were the John Deere 1470E loader (28.91 m3/h) and the Ponsse ELK forwarder (23.86 m3/h) with production costs of €2.01/m3 and €2.72/m3 respectively

Summary
This TFG analyses various aspects related to the wolf-livestock conflict from a purely observational perspective, with the aim of characterising the technical elements that could serve as a basis for an appropriate solution for the Principality of Asturias. The study is carried out in the context of the inclusion of the species in the LESRPE in 2021 and the situation that existed prior to its withdrawal in 2025. The study is based on: i) analysis of official statistics from the Principality of Asturias on wolf damage to livestock and the evolution of livestock numbers, as well as other statistics published on the above by producers' associations and other data sources, ii) analysis of the evolution of compensation scales for wolf damage to livestock in the Principality of Asturias, compared with market prices and other objective technical elements related to the economic valuation of damage to livestock, iii) surveys of the general public in different towns in Asturias, as well as livestock farmers in the Principality of Asturias, including free-form comments with particular emphasis on relevant technical aspects of the issue at hand. Based on the above, some technical proposals are made on aspects related to livestock management, using the preventive measures proposed by MITECO. A increase in the wolf population has been observed in recent years, as well as an increase in damage to livestock, which has become more since the inclusion of the wolf in the LESRPE and the cessation of population controls. The availability of data and the complexity of comparing it has hampered the study, and a review of the reporting systems is therefore recommended to ensure proper harmonisation. A divergence has also been observed between the compensation scales for damage and market or slaughterhouse prices, which is a cause of worsening conflict and a sense of grievance on the part of the livestock sector. The preventive measures proposed by MITECO have been evaluated in detail, studying their applicability in Asturian land, taking into account livestock management, breeds, orography and other conditioning factors. The surveys carried out show a rejection of the inclusion of the species in the LESRPE among the general public in Asturias, even in the most urban areas, but with greater emphasis in smaller population centres. This trend is more pronounced in the surveys of livestock farmers, where the most extreme positions on the questions asked are revealed. The study reported in this TFG can serve as a basis for designing measures to be taken after the exclusion of the wolf from the LESRPE, with the ultimate aim of bringing the parties in conflict closer together and developing a management model based on the evolution of the species that takes into account the damage to livestock farming and the characteristics of the Asturian environment.

Summary
The correct detection of the revolutions per minute (RPM) of a UAV rotor is essential to ensure its safety and stability during flight. This work addresses the need to implement a triple redundancy system based on Hall-effect sensors to ensure reliable measurements even in the presence of individual sensor failures. The methodology includes the system design, simulations to evaluate its behavior under failure conditions, and the implementation of error detection and data fusion algorithms, highlighting Q-learning as the most effective approach. The results demonstrate that the proposed system significantly improves the reliability of measurements, successfully identifying and managing failures in most cases. This design not only provides a robust solution to a critical challenge but also has potential applications in other critical systems within the aeronautical field.

Summary
Nowadays, robotics is becoming increasingly relevant in all areas, such as industrial, healthcare, or social sectors, forming part of many processes involved in them. In this context, it is necessary to achieve increasingly robust and efficient behaviors, obtained as quickly as possible. However, it is not always feasible to conduct the necessary tests and experiments due to economic issues or the time required. Additionally, data collected from simulations may not be sufficient. One alternative is to transfer the behavior already developed in a robot A to a similar target robot B. Specifically, the ultimate goal is to transfer knowledge from robot A to robot B, which may have different characteristics, sensors, and actuators, in environments that could have different dynamics, such as gravity, friction coefficient, inertial mass, etc. This work focuses on this issue. The behavior with a perfect or near-perfect score from system A is transferred to the target system B without training the latter in the new environment. This has a clear implication: it allows saving all prior learning or, at the very least, in more complex environments, bringing the training closer to the final objective. This, helps subsequent training in the target environment, as there is a prior transfer of knowledge from system A to system B.

Summary
This report provides a detailed analysis of the historical, legal, territorial, and functional evolution of the communal forest of San Tomé de Cancelada, located in the municipality of Cervantes, in the province of Lugo. The document is based on a comprehensive review of historical records, including key sources such as the 1727 land survey (apeo) of the Igrexario of San Tomé, which clearly defines the traditional boundaries of the forest and describes the social structure of the households that were obligated to pay rent to the parish priest. It also examines the 1855 foral redemption acts, which demonstrate that, as a result of the Mendizábal disentailment, the villagers were able to legally consolidate their land rights through a one-time payment that granted them full ownership of the land. Through these documents, along with historical cartography, aerial photographs, and oral testimonies, the traditional scheme of collective ownership was reconstructed, based on a share system (varas) per household, which governed the practice of fabeo (a system of rotational land use) in the forest. The study also identifies the later process of legal fragmentation and confusion caused by the partial expropriation carried out by the State Forestry Administration and by the misclassification of some parcels as Communal Forests in Common Hand (MVMC). The report outlines a feasible roadmap for the legal and functional recovery of the San Tomé forest as a monte de varas, based on the declassification of incoherent MVMCs, the updated delineation of traditional boundaries, and the regularization of household participation shares. It also highlights the economic potential of a reforested area planted with Pinus pinaster, which could be harvested in the short term to finance the technical, legal, and administrative costs of the process, including the drafting of a multifunctional forest management plan. This report serves as a key tool for the San Tomé community to recover its historical rights, strengthen social cohesion, and ensure a sustainable management model tailored to current socio-economic realities.

Summary
This Bachelor’s Thesis addresses the automation of the board flow between the melamine application area and the multi-saws in the Fibranor plant, with the goal of implementing an intermediate automatic warehouse and an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) that ensures full traceability of the product from melamine application to dispatch. In the first phase, a detailed analysis of the current state is carried out, identifying limitations in manual stacking, forklift handling, and the lack of control over humidity conditions and FIFO processing order. Next, various AGV technologies (tugger, platform, forklift, and transfer types) and guidance methods (SLAM, laser, RFID, vision) are studied, ultimately selecting a configuration based on SLAM navigation and incremental D* Lite planning to ensure flexibility and responsiveness to changes in the dynamic environment. In the Materials and Methods section, the system architecture is designed: loading and unloading points, safety zones, integration with the WMS, and WLAN communication protocols. Python (SimPy) simulation tools using real production data are employed to validate the performance of the AGV, trolleys, and warehouse under different scenarios. The results show that a single AGV is sufficient for most standard loads, space utilization is optimized (with seven racking levels as the optimal configuration), and product quality and safety are improved by handling intake, storage, delivery to the multi-saws, and return of covers in chronological order without excessive manual handling. The conclusions highlight that the proposed solution overcomes the initial limitations, reduces damage risks, and enables exhaustive tracking of each package, while also offering future improvement lines in system expansion and cost optimization.

Summary
This document is a Final Degree Project of Forestry and Natural Environment Engineering, it is created as a supporting document for the transnational LIFE Fluvial project. It was carried out on the Estorãos Rover floodplain in Ponte de Lima, Portugal, and its purpose is to evaluate how different human interventions will affect the floodplain’s green cover and soil. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of freshwater ecosystems and the bordering ecosystems, as well as to raise awareness about the biodiversity loss, the increase of biological invasions and the need to preserve high ecological value ecosystems. This evaluation will be based on a floristic inventory, where the different species of five representative plots will be identified, besides their green cover, their layers… It also be complemented by a soil study where the different morphological, physical and chemical properties will be identified

Summary
Social loneliness is the feeling generated by isolation or the lack of belonging to a group, which is independent of the number of social interactions a person may have. Research has shown that loneliness follows a U-shaped distribution, with the highest levels occurring during adolescence and after the age of 80. Several studies have revealed that the pandemic has placed the prevalence of loneliness in older adults at 28.6% and social isolation at 31.2%, figures that are at least alarming. One of the reasons for the increase in social loneliness is the lack of mental health services and experienced therapists available today. Furthermore, these treatments can be costly, and geographic restrictions in some isolated areas significantly hinder access to these services. In contrast, the use of artificial intelligence, such as virtual assistants, to study techniques for detecting such cases is on the rise and represents a constantly growing field. This growth employs text, image, or audio processing. The increased use and research of such tools in this sector have been largely driven by the expansion of technology today, facilitating the ability to reach a greater number of potential individuals affected. However, the number of projects addressing this field remains quite limited. This project proposes the development of a solution to perform mass screenings to detect symptoms of social loneliness. The project consists of a prototype of an intelligent conversational agent capable of applying the Social Loneliness Scale Este II by interacting with users through a fluid conversation, accepting a variety of responses, and generating a final assessment based on the test results. The project was developed and tested using the AWS environment tool called Amazon Lex, with additional implementations on Facebook Messenger and Slack. The results demonstrate that it is a tool capable of supporting healthcare professionals in screening the state of loneliness in users.

Summary
This Final Degree Project aims to assess the economic viability of cultivating Arnica montana on a 2,500 m2 plot located in O Vilar, in the parish of San Pedro de Labrada (Abadín). This is an experimental crop initiated in 2014 using seeds collected from wild local populations, and now, after nearly a decade, it allows for conclusions to be drawn based on real data. Arnica montana is an endemic plant known for its medicinal properties, with high demand in the pharmaceutical and natural cosmetics industries. Its uniqueness in Galicia lies in the different proportion and variety of active compounds compared to other European regions, offering a competitive advantage due to its hypoallergenic characteristics. The project combines edaphoclimatic analysis of the area, agronomic practices applied to this crop, and economic modeling to determine the profitability of the operation. In addition, results are compared with similar initiatives, and associated risks are analyzed. The study aims to contribute to sustainable rural development through the utilization of underexploited local resources.

Summary
The present project has like purpose the construction of a ship of swine gestation in group and pit of purín in Abegondo (A Coruña), in which the main aim will be to design, dimensionar and calculate the construction of the ship and of his installations, fulfilling at all times, the valid rule for the development of this activity. The new construction will have capacity for 800 sows gestantes, due to the fact that the existent installations are not adapted for the animals lodged in the exploitation (animal welfare), by what this will have of all the necessary installations and of the equipment that help us to obtain the maximum production, having as main objective attain a greater animal welfare, which is the fundamental reason by which realised this project. The plots that will use in the project locate in the polygon 7, in the plots 442 and 439, situated in the place of Abegondo (A Coruña). Both sound already property of the promoter of the project. The installations that will form part of the project are a ship of 108,40 m of length and 24,40 m of light and a cisterna of purín totally tight, which will have 31,80 x 31,08 x 1,60 (depth), what gives us 1581,35 m3 of capacity. The mothers gestantes will go in in the new installations, pertinent of the existent installations (initial situation), and will have a minimum of 250 days and a PV minimum of 140 Kg. This ship of new construction will be divided in farmyards of 50 animals, which will remain in the installations a period of 80 days. The mothers will arrive already gestantes and will move to the ship of paridera 7 days before the childbirth. The mothers go to go in at the same time and will have a weight and age homogénea (all inside all was). This system consists in entering to the animals at the same time and cunado finalises the cycle, withdraws to the whole group, so that it go out of the installations. In this moment will realise the sanitary casting (cleaning and disinfection), will leave to rest before entering a new group. In this project will evaluate the alternatives for the process, by means of the studies of engineering of the design, the productive process, the preparation of a budget and the engineering of infrastructures, works and installations that are necessary.

Summary
This Final Degree Project aims to carry out the comprehensive design of a livestock facility intended for the fattening of calves, with an initial capacity for 100 head of cattle, using the deep litter system (cold bed) as the basis for animal management. This system has been selected by the promoter due to its numerous advantages over traditional methods, both in terms of animal welfare and operational and economic efficiency. The project includes the detailed design of all the infrastructures necessary for the proper operation of the farm, including, among other essential elements, storage facilities for forage and feed, a manure storage area, a veterinary care unit, and all auxiliary installations required to ensure the smooth development of the production process. The promoter owns a suitable plot of land for the construction of the facilities and establishes as essential requirements that the main structure of the farm be metallic, easily expandable and demountable, so that it can be adapted in the future to new productive needs or changes in the activity. In addition, priority is given to the design of comfortable and functional spaces, both for the handling and welfare of the animals and for the comfort and safety of the staff in charge of their daily care. This project, therefore, represents the technical planning of a modern, rational, and sustainable livestock facility, aligned with current standards of production and animal welfare, while also considering relevant economic, environmental, and regulatory constraints.

Summary
In the current context of climate change, planning and characterizing water resources has become of relevant importance in water management. For planning purposes, we have tools such as the SIMPA model, which is capable of simulating different hydrological processes. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate, for the territory of Galicia, the fit between observed inflows at gauging stations and the inflows simulated by SIMPA, in order to manually calibrate those stations that show the poorest fit. Water is a sensitive resource within a climate change scenario. Therefore, through climate models capable of simulating future hydrological variables, the aim is to qualify the water resources in the Miño River as it passes through Lugo, within the period between 2070 and 2100. The results of this study will help assess the reliability of the SIMPA model for predicting monthly flows in Galicia and generate valuable information for decision-making in water management contributing to ensuring water security in a context of climate uncertainty.

Summary
Since, in 2008, Ramil Rego et al. (2008) published the Manual of Habitats of Galicia, numerous works related to the forests of Galicia have been published. In particular, this Final Project focuses on the review of the descriptive sheets of the wooded habitats included in Annex I of DC 92/43/EEC, with the aim of contributing to improving evaluation, planning and management work. that are related to these types of habitats of community interest in the Galician territory. The study area of this study focuses on the territory of the Autonomous Community of Galicia, which reaches an area of 29,576.74 km2. Regarding the methodology, many of the publications that have been made in this period have been reviewed and this information has been compiled for each type of forest present in Galicia in the form of cards, attached in Annex I of this work. The updating of the information on the sheets with the information already present in the old version of the Galician Habitats Manual, such as that which has been generated in this period, has made it possible to determine the characteristics of the habitat along with geographical distribution and status. conservation among other aspects.

Summary
This Final Degree Project details the design, modeling, implementation, and validation of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) with a kinetic art approach. The main goal was to create an interactive system where a user can draw a trajectory on a web interface, which is subsequently replicated by a motorized pendulum. The system architecture combines a Beckhoff industrial controller (PLC) running TwinCAT 3 with EtherCAT communication and a Python backend that manages the web interface and communication via the ADS protocol. An inverse-kinematics model was implemented for robot position control. Additionally, a 3D digital twin was developed for real-time monitoring and debugging. A fully functional prototype was built, validating the end-to-end control and communication architecture. However, the implementation phase revealed significant practical challenges: the initially designed automatic homing mechanism could not be implemented due to unforeseen mechanical constraints, leading to a manual solution. Functional tests also showed a lack of smoothness in trajectory execution, a key limitation for the artistic quality of the movement. The work concludes that, while the concept is viable, future improvements are required, focusing on deploying more advanced motion-control algorithms (blending) and redesigning mechanical components to achieve the desired performance and aesthetic goals.

Summary
Prolonged absence from the school environment due to health reasons has serious consequences for students' academic, social, and emotional development, leading to isolation and difficulties with reintegration. While commercial telepresence solutions like the AV1 robot exist, their high cost and proprietary nature drastically limit their accessibility. This Bachelor's Thesis addresses this problem through the design, development, and implementation of Avatiñ@, a social telepresence robot conceived from a radically opposite philosophy: to be a completely open, affordable, and customizable platform. The main objective has been to create a functional and low-cost alternative (estimated between 100 and 200 euros) that democratizes access to this technology. To achieve this, a complete prototype has been developed from scratch. The hardware is based on accessible components like a Raspberry Pi 4 and is housed in an innovative 3D-printed chassis. This chassis stands out for its modular, puzzle-like assembly system, which requires no screws and facilitates easy setup and maintenance by non-technical personnel. At the software level, a comprehensive platform has been built consisting of three components: the robot's internal software, a backend server, and an intuitive web interface that allows students to control the robot, move around the classroom, and express themselves through animated eyes using LED matrices. The result is a functional and robust prototype, ready for an initial testing phase, demonstrating the viability of creating advanced technological solutions with a social focus. Avatiñ@ not only represents a technical achievement but is also positioned as a high-impact tool to improve the inclusion and quality of life for hospitalized children, laying the groundwork for a future development community that can continue to expand its reach.

Summary
This Work of End of Degree has like aim the development and integration of a complete system of control for the arm colaborativo JAKA MiniCobo, mounted on an autonomous mobile robot and managed by means of ROS (Robot Operating System). The solution allows the remote control group of manipulation and navigation through an interface web, complemented with a three-dimensional visualisation in real time of the system. The proposal forms part of a strategic line of development centred in mobile robotic solutions and colaborati- vas (MoMa). The integration of the systems of control of the AMR and of the cobot in an only platform repre- sents a key step to tasks like the intelligent transport or the picking mobile. The work structures in several pha- ses: investigation on the operation of the cobot and his control via ROS, implementation of the basic control, synchronisation with the system of navigation, development of an interface interactive web and visualisation 3D. Finally, they realise complete proofs and analyse the results to validate the solution. This project shows the feasibility of an integrated system of manipulation and navigation, and seats the bases for real applications in industrial surroundings or academicians.

Summary
This Bachelor's Thesis focuses on analyzing the water supply system of the municipality of Rábade through the development of a detailed hydraulic model, demand estimation, and structural improvement proposals. Significant deficiencies were identified, mainly related to the aging of pipelines, the heterogeneity of materials, and the absence of comprehensive planning. To evaluate potential solutions, a future demand scenario was formulated assuming full occupancy of the residential housing stock. Two alternatives were simulated: Variant 1, based solely on the renewal of old pipelines, and Variant 2, which includes a new regulation tank. Both alternatives were evaluated using hydraulic and regulatory criteria. The results show that although both improve the current performance, only Variant 2 ensures stable operation, regulatory compliance, and adequate response to critical scenarios. Therefore, this option is recommended as the definitive solution for the municipal water supply system.
