Summary
This Bachelor's Thesis examines the evolution and contemporary relevance of legal argumentation, a central element in the practice of law from antiquity to the present day. Throughout history, legal argumentation has evolved from its roots in classical rhetoric, with significant contributions from authors such as Aristotle, Cicero, and more recently, Ronald Dworkin and Robert Alexy. Despite technological advancements and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the legal field, the ability to argue remains irreplaceable for the interpretation, application, and defense of the law. The study highlights how legal argumentation continues to be a fundamental pillar in ensuring fair and equitable decisions in an increasingly complex and technologically advanced global context. Additionally, it explores its role in the protection of fundamental rights, emphasizing the importance of a humanistic and ethical approach in the practice of law.

Summary
This Final Degree Project analyzes the key factors influencing the choice of medical specialty within the MIR training system in Spain. Through the study of residency placement data from 2020 to 2023, this research identifies significant trends reflecting the impact of academic, vocational, and structural aspects on the decision-making process of medical graduates. The study examines the most and least demanded specialties, the gender distribution in specialty selection, the influence of geographic location on residency choice, and the effect of incentive policies on the allocation of critical areas such as Family and Community Medicine. The analysis is based on a quantitative methodology, utilizing tools like Excel and PowerBI for data visualization. The findings reveal that highly competitive specialties, such as Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, consistently receive early placement due to their prestige and favorable working conditions. In contrast, specialties with higher workloads and lower social recognition, such as Family Medicine, experience lower demand despite an increase in available positions. Additionally, the study highlights a persistent gender-based differentiation in specialty selection and a strong correlation between hospital prestige and candidates' preferences. The conclusions of this research emphasize the need to implement strategies that balance the distribution of specialists within the healthcare system, promoting adequate incentives for less demanded specialties and ensuring efficient coverage of Spain’s healthcare needs.

Summary
Rhetoric is an art that has been practiced since the beginning of rational human existence. This art, which is rarely studied today, is a powerful tool for contemporary legal practitioners. This work seeks to understand the importance of rhetoric in the legal field. To achieve this goal, it is crucial to understand the fundamentals of the subject, as rhetoric is closely linked to legal argumentation, each needing the other to complement and achieve the ultimate goal, which must always be justice. This powerful tool, known as rhetoric, was studied in ancient Greece by great philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero, among others. However, even in the 20th century, philosophers like Charles Perelman and Robert Alexy continued to explore the subject. Today, legal philosophy is losing its presence within law schools. Legal argumentation and rhetoric, arts that have been practiced for centuries, are weakening because their study is no longer encouraged in university classrooms. However, when these two disciplines are combined, they possess a high persuasive power, some call it psychological manipulation, while others understand it as guiding the soul toward justice. Like everything in this world, rhetoric has both a positive and a negative side. The positive aspect, as mentioned, aims at the pursuit of truth and the application of justice. However, what happens if someone uses rhetoric for malicious purposes? This is why it is essential to recognize the intention behind its application

Summary
This paper analyzes the bankers' role and their involvement in contracts and banking transactions in ancient Rome. It examines the characteristics and requirements that bankers must meet and the role they play in various banking activities. Similarly, an analysis is conducted on using accounting books, as essential tools, for recording the various banking activities, as well as the role that trust plays in the relationships between the banker and his/her client. In addition, it addresses the issue of bankers' obligations and the potential liability arising from these relationships. The most common banking contracts and transactions are also briefly analyzed: the mutuum, the constitutum, and the receptum argentarii. Special attention is given to the deposit contract in its various forms, as well as to the auction. This analysis provides an opportunity to reflect on how the banking practices of ancient Rome laid the foundations for financial principles that still govern modern banking institutions today, highlighting the continued relevance of concepts such as trust and transparency.

Summary
Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions on the basis of a biblical interpretation, in conflict with their right to life. This position is controversial, especially when it affects minors, and refers to situations of serious health risk. This paper analyzes the rights affected, weighing which one prevails in each situation and the extent to which its exercise can be limited, mainly based on the criterion of the autonomy of freedom. Guaranteeing freedom is the preferential criterion; however, when dealing with minors at serious risk, their best interests must be prioritized, with the right to life and health care of the minor prevailing over religious convictions.

Summary
The substantial increase in the immigrant population in Spain has generated a variety of reactions in the spanish society, both of acceptance and rejection. To understand the reasons underlying the existence of a typology of five attitudinal profiles, in this review a panoramic study of the existing literature is carried out in order to analyze whether they are based on empirically demonstrated facts or if, on the contrary, they are based on a full range of false or distorted ideas of social reality. Within the framework of the object of study, it is also relevant to pay attention to the influential role of the media in public opinion, migration policies in Spain and the European Union, and inclusion and social integration models that exist in our country.

Summary
The aim of this paper is to provide a narrative review of sexual differences in violence from an evolutionary perspective. Human aggression shows significant differences between sexes, with men exhibiting higher levels of violence. For over a century, evolutionary psychology has sought to offer various explanations for this phenomenon; therefore, this text will review what has been proposed in the scientific literature in order to provide an updated overview of this area. Psychological, social and biological factors will be addressed, attempting to understand how they are conditioned by the evolutionary processes discussed by Charles Darwin.

Summary
This paper focuses on analysing various aspects related to the regulation of working time, breaks and holidays in the Spanish labour framework, both from a normative and jurisprudential perspective, taking collective bargaining into account. It examines how Spanish legislation has evolved historically to establish clear limits on the maximum working day, taking the current constitutional framework as a reference. It also addresses the different categories of time within the working day, such as effective working time, availability time and rest. In this sense, specific cases are discussed, such as bathroom breaks or shift changes. The paper also explores the regulations on rest times, including short breaks during the day, daily and weekly rest, as well as paid annual holidays. The national and European provisions are examined, in particular Directive 2003/88/EC. Finally, the recent proposal to reduce the maximum weekly working day to 37.5 hours, announced in December 2024, is discussed.
