Patterning, as a component of early mathematic knowledge, is a common activity carried out at elementary levels in which children are not equally successful. This study aimed to measure different variables affecting performance on patterning tasks in early childhood. For this purpose, the success of Pre-K (N = 33), K (N = 31) and first-grade (N = 33) children when solving 14 repeating-pattern tasks, which varied in complexity, was analysed. The results revealed no significant differences between core-2 and core-4 length patterns, and greater success with patterns involving size. The study also introduces distractors, as a novel factor, in the patterning activities related to the presence of contradictory or surplus data. The impact of each factor and the relations between complexity and difficulty on the patterning tasks are discussed in order to contribute to the design of teaching itineraries.

Writing difficulties have typically been investigated as the consequence of learning disabilities. However, several characteristics of texts and the underlying cognitive skills are often shared across these populations. Our aim was to investigate the writing and cognitive profile of children at risk of writing difficulties, regardless of whether they have concomitant diagnoses. Drawing from a sample of 357 primary school children, we identified children who showed low levels on a single writing component, such as handwriting (15), spelling (39) or text generation (17), and 11 children who showed difficulties across two or more components. We compared them to a typically developing group (50) on a series of writing features (e.g., spelling, vocabulary) and cognitive and linguistic skills (e.g., working memory, morphosyntax). Children who struggled with a single writing component showed difficulties also in other components. Children with multiple writing difficulties struggled with most writing features. All children displayed similar levels in key cognitive and linguistic skills. Our data thus present compelling evidence of children who struggle with writing, despite no obvious cognitive or linguistic impairments. [Translation from English by Silvia Montero.]

The ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Asturias on June 10, 2024 resolves an administrative dispute regarding the denial of authorization for the Teixo Wind Farm in Taramundi. The appealing company challenges the decision based on a negative urban planning report, arguing that the installation of wind energy is of higher public interest. The Court determines that the municipal report is only binding on urban planning aspects and that the completion of the procedure for urban planning reasons is legitimate. The contested resolution is annulled and the procedure is ordered to be reverted to address deficiencies and consider the presumption of higher public interest for renewable energies.

A new contribution of the "archaeology of social phenomena" shows that the second law of thermodynamics is not always fulfilled among human societies because entropy, represented by social conflict, does not increase in all the cases analyzed when the process is irreversible; however, social instability does.

The new JS bibliometric index is presented, which is able to improve the objectivity of the recently published Jz index by measuring the scientific relevance of academic journals according to their scientific production, age and editorial quality. It constitutes a new advance in avoiding the use of citations received, a parameter that has been called into question due to its easy manipulation and null reliability, despite which it continues to be used in an abusive manner to estimate the media impact of publications.
