Summary
This Undergraduate Dissertation offers an analysis of occupational risk prevention in the home care services sector (HCS), a professional activity carried out in the private space of service users' homes, which presents significant legal, organizational, and operational challenges. Despite being an essential service within the dependency care system, the working conditions of HCS aides remain marked by precariousness, fragmented duties, and insufficient institutional support. The study begins with a conceptual and regulatory analysis of the sector, followed by an examination of the main occupational risks faced by HCS aides, with special attention to psychosocial risks and gender-related factors that increase exposure to workplace harassment and violence. A gender perspective is adopted throughout as a key analytical tool, considering the feminization of the sector and the particular vulnerability of workers, many of whom are migrant women. Finally, the role of the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate in this area is analyzed, highlighting the legal and practical limitations it faces when acting in private households, which severely hinders effective monitoring of working conditions.

Summary
This paper analyzes the lead case procedure following the reform of the Spanish Law Regulating Social Jurisdiction (LRJS), examining its basis, legal foundation, requirements, and functioning; from the moment it is identified by the judicial body to the potential extension of the effects of the final judgment in the lead case to the suspended proceedings, as well as the conditions and limits of such extension. Furthermore, the paper explores its relationship with traditional procedural figures, such as joinder of actions and cases or the collective dispute procedure. As the topic unfolds, a series of questions and challenges are raised regarding its implementation in the social jurisdiction, due to its highly innovative nature. The main objective of the test-case procedure is to speed up case resolution and improve procedural efficiency and economy within the social jurisdiction. The paper concludes that, although this procedure has the potential to meet its intended objectives, its success will depend on factors such as proper judicial implementation, allocation of resources to the courts, and the resolution of the many legal uncertainties it presents.

Summary
The presence of talent in business and sport plays a key role in achieving good results. To achieve this, many organizations rely on the talent scout, a professional responsible for finding, identifying and attracting talented people who can make a difference within a team or company. This paper analyses how talent scouts operate in both fields, what roles they play and what skills they need to do their job well. We also talk about how new technologies have transformed the way they work, making it easier to find talent and enabling faster and more efficient processes. In addition, emphasis is placed on the importance of good talent management. It is not enough to find people with potential, it is also necessary to develop their skills and make them stay and grow within the organization. The methodology used has been qualitative, using academic studies, articles, reports and various research papers.

Summary
This final degree project analyzes the protection of influencers’ personality rights against the attacks they suffer on social media as a result of the constant exposure of their private lives. The study focuses on the legal framework established by the Spanish Constitution and Organic Law 1/982, as well as relevant case law that helps us understand how these public figures are treated in national courts. The research highlights how influencers are particularly vulnerable to intromissions into their privacy, honor and self-image, especially women, who are often targeted by harassment campaigns, defamation, and misappropriation. Finally, the project outlines the legal framework concerning the right to voice and explores, from a theoretical perspective, the potential violations that influencers may face in this area.

Summary
This study analyzes the working environment of influencers who create content on Instagram and TikTok, focusing on gender inequalities within the sector and the construction of digital identity of these figures. Through an interdisciplinary theoretical approach, the research explores key issues such as the perpetuation of gender roles, the role of social media, advertising, and virtual influencers in reinforcing and generating stereotypes, the transformation of digital identity, and the hypervisibility of women; offering a critical interpretation of these dynamics. A qualitative methodological strategy was adopted to examine how professional identities are constructed on social media, how appearance and lifestyle are represented, and which narratives and themes prevail according to factors such as age and gender. Overall, this work aims to shed light on the working conditions of this emerging form of work, as well as the gender-based stereotypes that shape content creation.

Summary
This undergraduate dissertation aims to analyze the legal treatment that the Spanish Holy Office gave to madness, its difficulty in assessment, social consideration, and its function as a mitigating or exculpatory factor. To this end, the study is based on the mechanics of the inquisitorial process, the integration of the Inquisition into monarchical power, and the analysis of the concepts of sin, crime, and intent. According to the standards of the Old Regime, committing a crime requires intent; therefore, the Spanish Holy Office, dedicated to prosecuting predominantly spiritual offenses, constructed a superficial and ambiguous system to modulate punishment based on the degree of criminal responsibility that an individual could be considered to have, according to their own traits or the circumstances of the crime. Its assessment was strongly influenced by the inquisitor’s judgment and social stereotypes, and its treatment was situated between Christian charity and the marginalization of the mentally ill. A bibliographic review and the analysis of legal texts and case files from the period reveal that madness, as a modifying circumstance of responsibility, was practically used as an abstract category encompassing all kinds of atypical social behaviors. Likewise, it was doubly employed to legitimize inquisitorial activity while also serving political purposes by neutralizing discourses potentially dangerous to the social order. There is limited information about the appreciation of madness by the Galician inquisitor; however, the studied faith processes help construct the ideological and terminological panorama in which the tribunal of Santiago framed mental alienation.

Summary
For years, people working in domestic service have been excluded from the basic rules of occupational risk prevention, as if cleaning, cooking, or caring for others in someone else’s home did not also involve pushing furniture, handling chemical products, or being at risk of falls. This legal gap began to form when Spain transposed, without adaptation, Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work, and reflected it in Law 31/1995 of 8 November, on the Prevention of Occupational Risks (LPRL), which stated that the family home was not, for preventive purposes, considered a workplace. Since then, arguments such as the inviolability of the home or the non-profit nature of the private employer have been used as excuses to keep a predominantly female group in a state of legal vulnerability. This thesis explains why such excuses are no longer valid and outlines the main reasons that led to the latest shift in the legal preventive treatment of this sector. In this regard, it is worth highlighting: 1) the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) from February 2022; 2) the ratification of ILO Convention No. 189; and 3) the reforms introduced, first by Royal Decree-Law 16/2022 and later by Royal Decree 893/2024. In this context, the paper examines the strengths and weaknesses of the new regulatory framework, outlines the risks that are still present in households, and assesses the usefulness of the public tools available to employers to comply with their new obligations. Ultimately, the goal of this Final Degree Project is to demonstrate that only a technical regulation adapted to the home environment can ensure real and effective protection, comparable to that enjoyed by other wage earners.

Summary
The stay in penal institutions, dedicated to serving the sentences imposed, is characterised by the objective of reeducating and reintegrating offenders into society. To this end, vocational training and prison labour play a key role, providing inmates with both theoretical and practical training to enable them to function effectively in the external labour market upon completion of their sentence. This academic paper addresses the special employment relationship of sentenced inmates, examining its regulation both in Organic Law 1/1979 of 26 September, the General Penitentiary Law, and in Royal Decree 782/2001 of 6 July, in order to understand its features: the beginning and end of the employment relationship; rights and obligations of inmate workers; pay structure and regime; organisation of work; etc. Social Security issues (benefits, requirements, special circumstances, etc.) are also analysed, with a comparison to the protection afforded in ordinary employment relationships, and an exploration of the reasons if any for potential disparities. Following the analysis of the legislation governing this employment relationship, the study delves into statistics from the General Secretariat of Penal Institutions (Ministry of the Interior) for the year 2023, with the aim of assessing the actual state of labour activity carried out within prison facilities and thereby constructing a comprehensive analysis.

This study aims to explore the relationship between the variables of Work Stress, Perceived Organizational Support, Life Satisfaction, Subjective Well-Being, and Job Satisfaction, as well as to assess the extent to which they may act as determinants of Job Satisfaction. The research was conducted among non-university public school teachers in the Galician region. The results indicate that Perceived Organizational Support functions as an independent variable in relation to the other variables, except for Life Satisfaction, and that Work Stress acts as a moderating variable. Additionally, all variables, show a dual role as both independent and dependent variables in relation to Job Satisfaction.

Summary
This final degree project analyzes the perception and prevalence of sexual harassment in the university setting. A quantitative and descriptive design was used, through the administration of a structured questionnaire to a sample of 166 students from the University of Santiago de Compostela. The results reveal that students tend to identify certain behaviors as sexual harassment unequally, with those perceived as more serious being recognized more. Some of the behaviors most frequently experienced by students were staring, agreeing to meet voluntarily, comments on a classmate's physical appearance, coinciding at a party or gathering, and initiating a relationship and voluntarily initiating a relationship with another classmate, thus coinciding with the behaviors least considered sexual harassment by students. While the results obtained reflect a low prevalence of behaviors associated with sexual harassment among the students surveyed, this does not exclude the importance of continuing to strengthen university policies aimed at prevention, awareness-raising, and protection against any manifestation of sexual harassment.

Summary
Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by chronic work-related stress. It was psychologist Christina Maslach who first raised awareness of the existence and study of this concept, in addition to developing the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), an internationally recognized tool for measuring the phenomenon. Officially recognized by the World Health Organization, burnout is considered a work-related problem, not a medical condition. It particularly affects professionals exposed to high emotional demands, such as teachers, nurses, and social workers. Ultimately, it is a risk to the mental health of workers in the workplace that reflects the need to assess personal, organizational, social, and workplace circumstances to improve well-being and productivity.

Summary
The protection of minors in the field of employment has been a constant concern in the development of Labour Law, as they represent one of the most vulnerable groups within this sphere. The present study aims to analyse the existing legal framework to ensure the adequate protection of minors, focusing on international, European, and national instruments. An in-depth analysis is carried out of the main conventions of the International Labour Organization, specifically Convention No. 138, which establishes the minimum age for admission to employment, and Convention No. 182, which addresses the worst forms of child labour. At the European level, the study examines Directive 94/33/EC on the protection of young people at work, as well as the European Social Charter and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Finally, at the national level, the regulation of child labour in the Spanish legal system is analysed from a threefold perspective: labour law, social security, and occupational risk prevention. This threefold approach allows the identification of existing legislative limitations and the need for further development in order to ensure effective protection of minors within the labour market.

An in-depth analysis is carried out of the main conventions of the International Labour Organization, specifically Convention No. 138, which establishes the minimum age for admission to employment, and Convention No. 182, which addresses the worst forms of child labour. At the European level, the study examines Directive 94/33/EC on the protection of young people at work, as well as the European Social Charter and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Finally, at the national level, the regulation of child labour in the Spanish legal system is analysed from a threefold perspective: labour law, social security, and occupational risk prevention. This threefold approach allows the identification of existing legislative limitations and the need for further development in order to ensure effective protection of minors within the labour market.

Summary
The purpose of the present research was to analyze whether there is a relationship between the perception of a sports organization, the performance, both global and academic, and the satisfaction, both sports and life, of its users. The participants in this study are roller field hockey players in Santiago de Compostela. The EPOD scale (Nuviala et. al., 2008) was used to measure the perception of the sports organization and two other scales to measure performance and satisfaction. The sample consisted of 52 roller field hockey users, aged between 5 and 16 years. In order to facilitate the understanding and response to the questions of the scales, the parents or guardians of the users were the ones who answered them. The results showed that the factors of the perception of the organization presented high correlations with performance and satisfaction in the sport activity. Significant correlations were also found with academic performance and life satisfaction. The implications of the results obtained are described in the discussion section of this paper.

Summary
This study analyzes the relationship between academic engagement, emotional intelligence, and academic performance in a sample of university students. Based on the idea that emotional well-being and commitment to studies directly influence performance, a sample of 176 students from the Bachelor's Degree in Labour Relations and Human Resources at the University of Santiago de Compostela was analyzed. A validated questionnaire was used to measure the three main variables. Specifically, academic engagement was assessed using the Student Academic Engagement Scale (SAIS; Schaufeli et al., 2002), and emotional intelligence was measured using the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (2002). The results show that both engagement and emotional intelligence are positively related to academic performance, although with moderate strength. Furthermore, it is confirmed that students with higher emotional intelligence tend to show greater commitment to their studies. This work highlights the importance of promoting emotional and motivational skills in the university environment to enhance academic success.

Summary
This final degree project focuses on the study of strategic analysis applied to labor relations, from a comprehensive perspective that combines a theoretical approach with its practical implications in the organizational sphere. Throughout the project, the conceptual foundations of strategic analysis and the main schools of thought that support it are addressed, highlighting its evolution and current relevance in complex and dynamic environments. Key tools such as SWOT analysis, the PESTEL model, and Porter's Five Forces are analyzed, and their application in human resource policy planning, collective bargaining, organizational culture, and leadership is examined. Emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, sustainability, and new organizational models are incorporated, as well as the strategic response to crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis demonstrates how effective strategic planning makes it possible to align labor objectives with the institutional mission, anticipate environmental changes, and foster more adaptive, cohesive, and sustainable organizations.

Summary
This study aims to analyze the implementation of performance evaluation systems in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a particular focus on the autonomous community of Galicia, which is characterized by a high percentage of micro and small enterprises. Through a review and comparison of previous studies, complemented by a questionnaire directed at SME workers in Galicia, it was observed that, although both employers and employees claim to place high importance on performance evaluation systems, the actual implementation of these systems tends to be informal and poorly structured. This is mainly due to factors such as the small size of the companies, limited resources, and a general lack of awareness regarding the existence of such systemsa situation further exacerbated by a traditional business culture that is resistant to change. These findings highlight the urgent need to professionalize performance evaluation practices in Galician SMEs by promoting the adoption of evaluation tools tailored to their scale.

Summary
Personnel selection involves a series of procedures that are central to human resources management, due to its direct influence on the functioning and achievement of objectives in any organization. Its main function is to identify and incorporate the candidates who best fit the positions and who are likely to perform best on the job. To this end, Human Resources professionals have at their disposal various selection tools, whose reliability and validity allow them to work with confidence when determining the most suitable candidate for a position within their organizations. In Santiago de Compostela, the sector with the greatest impact on the city's economy is hospitality. For this reason, this Bachelor's Thesis aims to analyze the degree of use of selection tools in restaurants in Santiago de Compostela, seeking to provide a representative picture of the selection processes used in the sector within the city. It will also examine how restaurant owners perceive their selection processes and the tools they use. Ultimately, this study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the personnel selection processes carried out by those responsible for hiring in the restaurants of Galicia's capital.

Summary
This final degree project provides an in-depth analysis of the right to digital disconnection as a response to hyperconnectivity in the workplace. The study is based on the European and Spanish regulatory framework, focusing on the Organic Law on Data Protection (LOPDGDD), which recognizes this right but delegates its practical application to collective bargaining. The fundamental role of case law is highlighted, as rulings by the Supreme Court and the National Court were key in defining digital availability outside of working hours as effective working time and in requiring that any policy on the matter be negotiated, not imposed. The analysis also addresses the psychosocial risks arising from a lack of disconnection, such as stress and burnout syndrome. The main conclusion is that, although the right is legally recognized, its real effectiveness depends on collective bargaining, the work of inspections, and, fundamentally, a cultural change in companies that values rest as a pillar for health and productivity.

Summary
This study examines the labor and social unrest that affected the regions of el Bierzo, and more specifically Laciana, during their period of greatest industrial expansion, marked by the establishment of Minero-Siderúrgica de Ponferrada (MSP) in 1918, and their subsequent decline by 2013, when the company became part of Coto Minero Cantábrico. The analysis begins with a historical overview of the enterprise, the socio-economic characteristics of the affected communities, and the broader mining sector, establishing the necessary context for understanding the emergence and evolution of conflict. Special attention is paid to the spatial and temporal dimensions of these disputes, illustrating their persistence and intensity. The study underscores the central role of labor ando societal tensions in shaping the trajectory of mining activities in the region, suggesting that the history of MSP is inseparable from the contestation it generated.
