Summary
In this work, an evaluation of the degree of affectation of invasive exotic plants (IEP) in the continental part of the ZEC Complexo Ons-O Grove (Province of Pontevedra, Galicia) is carried out, in order to indicate methods of control and management of these species . To do this, kiping in mind the BOE (2013), DOUE (2014) and Ramil Rego et al. (2019) lists, a field sampling was carried out where information on the location of the species on the ground and in online databases was collected, to finally prepare a catalog with those recorded IEP. In this way, the distribution of invasion phases could also be assessed, and categorized by the origin of the species and their families. A comparison of the results obtained with the reference bibliography reveals that the level of affection by IEP is 12,5% with respect to the rest of the species in the area, with 6,67% being in a saturation phase. Taking into account the phases of the invasion cycle in which each identified taxon is found, 7 basic control/eradication procedures were designed that should be applied to reduce or eliminate its negative effects. Finally, technical sheets were prepared for the PEI located in the scope of the work.

Summary
The livestock sector is currently facing a crucial moment, as it grapples with the challenge of finding solutions that allow for more efficient and sustainable production while ensuring animal welfare. Particularly in pig fattening, it is essential to provide adequate facilities that meet quality standards in terms of air, temperature, humidity, and control of gases and microorganisms. The quality of the environment in livestock facilities directly affects the health and well-being of the animals. An unsuitable environment can increase stress, susceptibility to diseases, and hinder the normal development of pigs. Environmental control promotes healthy growth, feed efficiency, and overall performance. Environmental care is an increasingly relevant aspect, as sector-specific legislation becomes stricter in terms of environmental regulations, and consumers demand more animal products that come from animals raised under optimal conditions. This implies reducing the negative impact of greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants generated by livestock activities. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to carry out an environmental characterization of livestock facilities and understand how these conditions relate to productive outcomes and animal welfare. Only through a comprehensive analysis of these factors will it be possible to establish appropriate parameters that ensure a balance between productive efficiency and respect for animal welfare.

Summary
The approach of this study is to analyze the capabilities and technical limitations found when using a low-cost IMU such as the Adafruit BNO-055 and its implementation in a control system for a Pan and Tilt with the purpose of achieving new platforms for solutions which manufacturers dominate in an almost monopolized market such as that of unmanned aerial systems. The verification of the use of quaternions as a method to describe the orientation of an object and its benefits compared to Euler angles are a fundamental part of the bases of this work, and verify to what extent they are free of errors in the mathematical calculation when implemented in a controlled process. The analyzes obtained demonstrate that the IMU used as a sensor is highly capable of representing an absolute orientation in time with fairly small error margins, and its processing capacity is a great advantage, as well as facilitating complex initial calculations for the end user, Therefore, the opportunities to use it not only in basic control systems such as the one carried out, but also in unmanned aircraft, is an option for the future development of flight controllers of our own design.

Summary
SUMMARY IN INGLISH This Project Management Plan was developed under the PM2 methodology and focuses on the creation of a new fermented dairy products manufacturing plant in the Galician industry environment in Spain. Management was oriented towards the adaptation and use of agile tools, as well as the application of the continuous improvement technique based on the PDCA cycle , improving collaboration in the different teams to establish a solid base for the project and the satisfaction of the interested parties. The initiation phase was characterized by a detailed analysis of the business opportunity, the clear definition of objectives and the creation of the fundamental artifacts of the PM2 methodology . It is based on collaborative work, using techniques such as brainstorming and sprints , to encourage innovation and consensual decision-making. In the planning phase, a comprehensive set of documents defining the scope, risks, resources and processes of the project has been developed. Particular emphasis has been placed on requirements management and quality, ensuring that the final product meets the expectations of customers and stakeholders. Stakeholder characterization and management are essential to the success of a project. Their different perspectives and needs can significantly influence its development, from facilitating its initiation to, in extreme cases, leading to its cancellation. Proper management of these actors ensures that the project's objectives are aligned with the organization's interests. The PM2 methodology facilitates a continuous and structured workflow in project management. By using PM2 -specific artifacts , detailed and prioritized planning is achieved that ensures timely delivery of functional deliverables, while always keeping the focus on project objectives. It is also important to mention that this methodology allows for the easy incorporation of tools and concepts that are already proven and are winners in other methodologies such as PMI . This project represents an ambitious challenge. The aim was not to develop tools and artifacts, but rather to adopt and generate a cultural change in the industry, promoting the continuous use of new solutions and facilitating adaptation to a constantly evolving environment.

Summary
In recent years, the structure of the European farms has undergone significant changes: the decrease in the number of farms and the increase in the average farm size, and the ageing of farm owners. As the number of successions and traditional farm entry pathway is decreasing, the number of people starting their agricultural career without previous experience are starting to find their niche. These are referred to as new entrants (NE) in agriculture, people who have no family ties or previous experience in the sector and who access the sector, in many cases, bringing skills and experience in various fields, together with other very particular characteristics. In order to find out the current status and characteristics of this profile in Galicia, an exhaustive review of the academic literature was carried out, and an attempt was made to adopt a definition of what a new entrant is. Subsequently, through the design of a questionnaire based on the characteristics of NEs in Europe, data were collected from a sample of new entrants in Galicia over the last ten years and analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Once the results were obtained, possible patterns were interpreted and identified which, although close to the European NE profile, also show particular characteristics. Our results showcase a high heterogenity in terms of land tenure, labour origin or profitability, as well as showing a clear commitment to agroecology. This study opens a window into further research that will also put more effort into the qualitative characterisation and externalities that mould these people in the agricultural sector.
In recent years, the structure of the European farms has undergone significant changes: the decrease in the number of farms and the increase in the average farm size, and the ageing of farm owners.

Summary
Beef production faces new challenges that compromise its viability. Challenges that range from the achievement of economic profitability, conditioned by the unfavourable evolution of the relationship between received and paid prices, to the need of face greater environmental demands. With this negative context, the need arises to study the profitability of the sector, focusing on grazing livestock, since they combine cost reduction and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, these types of livestock farms are crucial at territorial level, due to the great impact in rural areas both economically and socially. This prevents depopulation due to the dynamization that the activity entails. However, it must be considered that there are different models of grazing beef farms, with different profitability, which is why they must be characterized in typologies. For this reason, a double multivariate analysis was carried out (analysis of principal components and hierarchical clusters) based on data collected (from the year 2022) from farms within the framework of the “Carne de Vacún a Pasto” Operational Group. Thus, the farms are classified according to their profitability, and then link this with the management of the farm. The objective is to determine which are the most profitable management models and to know the possibility of exporting them to other cases, improving profitability to allow sustainability over time. In addition, it is necessary to know the limitations they have to continue with the activity in the future, as well as know the reasons that hinder organic production, which constitutes an interesting market at the present and with growth potential. To gain a deeper understanding of the farms, a survey was proposed, which would serve to understand the operation of the farms the problems they encounter, both in daily operation and in the future.

Summary
In the current market of consumer drones there is a wide variety of devices with various characteristics and in continuous evolution. Although these devices usually offer simple solutions at a more or less affordable price, the use of proprietary technologies and closed standards in many cases deteriorates the final user experience. As an alternative to this situation, we will explore some of the current open hardware and software technologies and discuss their feasibility for drone design and construction. For this purpose we will design and build a prototype of a light quadcopter with two cameras, one thermal and other RGB, which will serve as a platform for testing open technologies in image capture, high definition video transmission and aircraft control.

Summary
The project of the virtual museum of the city of A Coruña is based on the PM2 methodology for project management, which is presented as a simple and versatile way to adapt to different types of projects. Although the project life cycle consists of four phases: Initiation, Planning, Execution, and Closure, with a fifth phase of Monitoring and Control present throughout the project, for this particular work only the planning part will be analyzed. The objective of the project is to create a mobile application that combines a traditional museum with an online vision, in order to obtain economic profitability through its sale to the relevant public entity, which in this case is the City Council of A Coruña. The option of a mobile application has been selected as the most viable to reach a larger target audience. The project will be carried out under a planning that reflects structured and defined content according to the project requirements established by the project owner. The work team will be composed of internal roles of the company such as the Project Director and the Solutions Provider, and external roles, which will be the subcontracted companies for content generation and application development. Clear roles and responsibilities will be established for each team member, with the aim of efficiently achieving the project objectives. Different management plans adapted to the project will be designed so that its scope is not altered, requirements are met, and possible risks are prevented in order to obtain the highest possible quality of the project. For all this, compliance with deadlines and efficiency in project execution will be of great importance. It is worth noting that penalties will be established in case of non-compliance with contracts by subcontractors. In summary, the project of the virtual museum of the city of A Coruña is based on the PM2 methodology for project management, with a focus on creating a mobile application that combines a traditional museum with an online vision, with a structured work team and a thorough planning process that will ensure the success of the project.

Summary
The projects in the industry of the renewable energies confront big opportunities of improvement when implementing methodologies related with the direction of projects in some surroundings that aims increasingly to the sustainability, the local development and the innovation. The present document contains the preparation of a plan of management in the field of renewable energies for a case in concrete with a particular approach in the fulfillment of the own contractual requirements of a project of public contracting. A qualitative approach is employed based on the case study of a real public works contract for a biomass renewable energy project awarded by the Galician Health Service in Riotorto, Lugo. Through an exhaustive documentary analysis, the project scope is broken down, and key management areas are identified, establishing a clear framework in terms of scope, stakeholder involvement, communication, and coordination, as well as cost, time, quality, and human resource management as fundamental pillars for the project's success. Given the nature of the projects of public contracting, characterized by his high visibility and rigor in the processes, the management of risks is an indispensable tool to guarantee the fulfillment of all the requirements, ensure the efficiency in the investment of the public funds and protect the interests of all the parts involved.

Summary
The present study titled Evaluation of the Level of Maturity in Project Management in the Municipality of San Juan de Miraflores aims to determine the level of maturity in project management within the Sub-Management of Investment Projects and Public Works, using the OPM3 model from PMI. Through a questionnaire based on 80 best practices from OPM3, the organizational capabilities in project management were evaluated. The results revealed that the sub-management is at a basic level of maturity, excelling in the planning and execution of individual projects, although it presents weaknesses in process standardization, measurement, control, and continuous improvement. Based on these findings, concrete actions were proposed to enhance these areas, such as implementing a solid methodological framework, training staff in project management, and establishing a continuous improvement system. In conclusion, the study identified key opportunities for the municipality to optimize its project management, which will ultimately enable more efficient and effective execution, thereby benefiting the community of San Juan de Miraflores.

Summary
This study presents the development and application of a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) aimed at optimizing the transportation logistics of slurry for a proposed biogas plant in the province of Lugo, Galicia. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and multi-criteria analysis, potential plots for the location of the plant were identified and evaluated, considering their surface area, proximity to the LU-612 highway, soil classification and other relevant territorial factors. In addition to selecting the plant location, two cluster analyses were performed. These managed to create groupings of points that allow relative routes to be designed based on the proximity of the points and keep the production of each group close to the maximum capacity of the collection vehicles. The final result of routes included a route that connects all the collection points with the plant, routes that run through groups close to each other, and others that seek a balanced distribution of the workload and minimize transport distances. The results highlight the effectiveness of combining GIS tools with mathematical models for territorial analysis and decision making. The flexibility offered by the SDSS allows criteria to be adjusted and adapted to the specific needs of the project, providing a solid framework for the selection of locations and routes for correct logistics planning. However, limitations were identified in the tools when taking into account various variables such as production volume or the distance of the sections, suggesting the need to integrate more complex methods to improve route optimization.

Summary
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are tools that allow us to better understand and interpret the world around us. New applications constantly emerge that demonstrate the potential of these devices to serve humanity. Specifically in the field of biodiversity, they enable the collection of precise and updated information with which more effective conservation strategies can be implemented. The main objective of the present work is to study the feasibility of using information provided by UAS flights in Teide National Park to photointerpret its plant species and create thematic cartography. This protected area has a high degree of endemism within its flora, with notable communities of Spartocytisus supranubius, Descurainia bourgeauana, Adenocarpus viscosus, Viola cheiranthifolia, Pterocephalus lasiospermus and Echium wildpretii. In relation to the processing of RGB and multispectral images, a workflow was adopted in a specialized photogrammetry software to generate digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthomosaics. Once these products were created, the next step was to perform a supervised classification, where different algorithms were tested to determine which one best represented the reality of the study area based on accuracy indexes. Among the considered alternatives, the Maximum Likelihood algorithm stood out as the option with the best results in this type of scenario. Finally, volume estimation was incorporated into the analysis of the different classes, where Spartocytisus supranubius and necromass emerged as the most representative categories within the total calculated.

Summary
This project will be carried out with the aim of constructing a wine industry for the establishment of a winery with a capacity of 40,000 liters per year of Mencía wine with D.O. Ribeira Sacra, which will be located in the Chantada Industrial Park, in Chantada, Lugo. For the construction and design of the building, all relevant conditions have been taken into account: legal, food industry, those of the promoter, etc. In the production line, 40,000 liters of Mencía red wine will be produced, for which 65,000 kg of grapes are required. The raw material will go through all the necessary activities to leave the winery ready for commercialization. The stages that will be carried out during the production process are as follows: grape maturation and harvest, prefermentative operations (pressing, must refrigeration, sulfiting, and static cold settling, as well as all the auxiliary operations and controls that accompany them), fermentative operations (alcoholic fermentation and wine racking, each with its due controls), and postfermentative operations (wine refrigeration, tartaric stabilization, filtration with horizontal disc filters, bottling, storage, and dispatch). This is detailed in the corresponding annexes, process engineering, and implementation of the production process, where the necessary machinery for the correct development of the process activities is also cited. All calculations for the construction of the building will also be carried out, as well as all the necessary installations (electrical, plumbing, sanitation, refrigeration, and fire protection installations). We include a budget document, detailing the costs for the project, which amount to €983,406.10, as well as an economic evaluation study where it is determined that the project is economically viable, and an annex for the work schedule, where it is calculated that the duration of the project will be 86 days.

This is detailed in the corresponding annexes, process engineering, and implementation of the production process, where the necessary machinery for the correct development of the process activities is also cited. All calculations for the construction of the building will also be carried out, as well as all the necessary installations (electrical, plumbing, sanitation, refrigeration, and fire protection installations). We include a budget document, detailing the costs for the project, which amount to €983,406.10, as well as an economic evaluation study where it is determined that the project is economically viable, and an annex for the work schedule, where it is calculated that the duration of the project will be 86 days.

Summary
The Las Huertas urbanization is located in the city of El Barco de Valdeorras, this town has a fiber optic network (F.O.) but access to the urbanization cannot be given because they do not have the adequate channeling, since it exceeds 40 years of being built; for which the project focuses on adapting telecommunications, thus giving companies a free hand to provide their services in the area. The project consists of carrying out the underground channeling and installation of a fibre optic distribution network (F.O.) of the urbanisation so that operators can provide service to the homes.

Summary
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being increasingly used to monitor and inspect infrastructures, especially with the emergence of new UAVs and sensors, which improve the quality and versatility in the operations. The global infrastructure also points to an accelerated growth, in addition to the fact that existing structures are deteriorating every year and require frequent inspections. Recently published studies present different types of infrastructure inspections with drones. Some studies present a general description of UAVs and their sensors. However, the purpose of this study is to analyze different drone applications and demonstrate how UAVs can help in each infrastructure sector. Also, which UAVs, sensors and software are needed for each individual project, besides putting together in a single study, the possible flight trajectories for each infrastructure. Next, four flights were executed to illustrate how drones can be used in practical cases. The results of this study indicate that UAVS can contribute significantly to the monitoring and inspection of infrastructures, thus avoiding risks to workers in dangerous or difficult-to-access areas, optimizing time and cost in operations.

Summary
Currently, the inspection of substations is carried out by maintenance personnel. Various tests have been conducted with ground robots, but to date, the use of aerial drones is practically minimal. This project arises from that need. In the thematic area of processing images captured by UAVs, the aim is to develop a Master's Thesis with the objective of automatic detection and classification of anomalies in AIS-type High Voltage Electrical Substations. For this purpose, the following will be necessary and will be the subject of the thesis: Technical specification of drones for flights over electrical substations. Technical instruction for flights over electrical substations. Development of a computer vision model trained for automatic anomaly detection. The results are quite promising, with the main difficulty being the flight permits over a substation. In general, the conclusions are that flights over substations are feasible as long as a series of technical criteria are met. In this way, AI can be applied for the identification and automatic classification of anomalies.

Summary
This work aims to contextualize the unmanned aerial system LUMES through a statistical design trends analysis. This single-rotor helicopter-type aircraft was developed at the IRCASS research center of Avincis, within the Civil UAVs Initiative program of the Xunta de Galicia. This study provides a useful contribution during the early design stages of the aircraft, allowing for a technical comparison with competitors in the international market and identifying the model’s weaknesses. The methodology was based on a statistical analysis of the dimensional, structural, and performance parameters of both manned and unmanned helicopters. The analysed population was divided into two databases comprising 210 rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (RWUAV) and 84 conventional manned helicopters (MH). After data processing, the first population was reduced to 115 autonomous helicopters (UH). In order to address the dependency between the parameters, a correlation analysis was conducted, resulting in 10 pairs of variables that were subjected to linear regression analysis. The results of this second analysis demonstrated that the empirical expressions relating dimensional parameters, such as diameters and lengths, met all the established success criteria. In contrast, the design trends for the aircraft width and height did not reach the minimum value of the coefficient of determination. Thus, diameters and lengths have a design trend applicable to both the combined population and each population separately, whereas width and height are not comparable between them. Moreover, the parameters related to the characteristic masses of the aircraft showed nearly identical trends in all analysed population scenarios, although the accumulated errors were high. In the case of the main rotor disk loading, the regression for the MH matched the behavior found in the literature, but showing a low coefficient of determination and not being suitable for the UH. Finally, the proposed trends for maximum engine power showed different evolution slopes between the populations, but identical to those found in the literature. Among the improvements applicable to the LUMES design, it is necessary to highlight an excess of aircraft operational empty weight and maximum installed engine power, suggesting a possible change in the engine model to be used. The main limitations of this work arose from sources of error in the data, such as overestimation of the performance variables of unmanned aircraft by manufacturers, inconsistencies in dimension measurements, and lack of data regarding maximum flight altitudes. This negatively affected the results and made the final comparison between conventional and unmanned helicopters difficult. Nevertheless, the extent and uniqueness of the generated databases, as well as the high rigor applied in the statistical model, allowed for the establishment, for the first time in the field of aeronautics, of empirical expressions that relate the main design parameters for both conventional and autonomous helicopter-type aircraft.

Besides, the difference between models generated from data LiDAR_PNOA of 1ª Coverage with regard to the model generated with SfM has been elder that the obtained when comparing data LiDAR_PNOA of 2ª Coverage with SfM, which already indicates the advance of the technical technologies and of software of year in year. Also, it has been able to determine from the data obtained like result that can arrive to determine a possible correlation between the data obtained of LiDAR _ PNOA And the obtained by photogrammetry SfM, which could allow in case to use data LiDAR for geomatic works, realise corrections of the same with the end to adjust them the maximum possible to the reality.

Summary
Photogrammetry is a widely used technique, and although many of its applications have already been explored, there are still areas where its potential could be useful. From this perspective, society's concern for landscape preservation is growing, making the assessment of visual impact of new infrastructures increasingly relevant for any project. That's why in this research, its applicability for obtaining infographics of projected elements in the Careón Wind Farm, between the municipal terms of Toques (A Coruña) and Palas de Rei (Lugo), was studied. From the constructed elements present, the geometric precision of the proposed methodology is verified using two techniques. In the first, contrast points (checkpoints) are used to compare the observed location with the expected location. In the second, aerial photogrammetry is performed to generate a mesh of the elements of interest that overlay on oriented images. This demonstrates the geometric assurances provided by SfM photogrammetry for infographic development. All of this entails previous work in photography planning and scene georeferencing, determining both the perspectives to be taken in the study area and the camera parameters or target distribution, followed by image processing with specific software. The results regarding the accuracy of the infographics showed better responses for distant perspectives than for short and medium distances. Therefore, this technique could be implemented for environmental impact assessment using photographs taken on site as an efficient, cost-effective, and precise method.
