The expatriate’s family as a stakeholder of the firm : a responsibility viewpoint

2016

In this paper we argue for the recognition of the expatriate’s family as a stakeholder of the firm during the expatriation. We demonstrate why the expatriate’s family can be regarded as a stakeholder of the parent company and what kind of a stakeholder the family is. Additionally, we argue that the parent company needs to develop and apply a holistic well-being orientation to show stakeholder responsibility in the international assignment (IA) arena. We apply the theory of stakeholder salience to the IA relationship because it provides a theoretical framework for integrating the family into the expatriation process. Yet this theory does not necessarily provide a framework for assessing the …

La Aceptación Familiar y la Conducta Prosocial: el Rol de los Factores de Personalidad en Menores con Medidas de Internamiento Judicial

2021

espanolEn la presente investigacion se analiza la relacion entre el sentimiento de aceptacion familiar y las distintas dimensiones de la conducta prosocial en menores infractores en regimen de internamiento. El interes esta tambien en determinar el rol mediador y moderador que tienen los factores de personalidad (modelo de los “cinco grandes”) en la relacion entre el sentimiento de aceptacion familiar y la conducta prosocial. La muestra esta formada por 162 menores infractores con edades entre los 14 y los 22 anos (M = 17.10, DT = 1.41), con medida judicial de internamiento en centros de la Comunidad Autonoma de Madrid (Espana). Los resultados obtenidos indican que no hay una relacion direc…

Riskantas seksuālas uzvedības saistība ar personības iezīmēm jauniešiem un jauniem pieaugušajiem vecumā no 18 līdz 29 gadiem.

2018

Veiktā pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas sakarības pastāv starp Lielā piecinieka personības iezīmēm, impulsivitāti un riskantu seksuālu uzvedību. Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas divas aptaujas: Latvijas Personības aptauja (LPA-v3, Perepjolkina & Renģe, 2013); Impulsivitātes aptauja (UPPS Impulsivity Scale, Whiteside & Lynam, 2001), ko Latvijā adaptējusi A. Caune, 2008. gadā, un riskantas seksuālas uzvedības noteikšanai tika uzdoti trīs jautājumi: cik gados tika uzsākta dzimumdzīve, cik seksuālo partneru ir bijis dzīves laikā un cik bieži pēdējo 6 mēnešu laikā tika lietots prezervatīvs. Pētījumā piedalījās 45 respondenti (33 sievietes, 12 vīrieši) vecumā no 19 līdz 29 gadiem (M = 23,1).…

Paths from socioemotional behavior in middle childhood to personality in middle adulthood.

2012

Continuity in individual differences from socioemotional behavior in middle childhood to personality characteristics in middle adulthood was examined on the assumption that they share certain temperament-related elements. Socioemotional characteristics were measured using teacher ratings at ages 8 (N = 369; 53% males) and 14 (95% of the initial sample). Personality was assessed at age 42 (63% of the initial sample; 50% males) using a shortened version of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI); the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP); and the Adult Temperament Questionnaire (ATQ). Three models were tested using structural equation modeling. The results confirmed paths (a) from behavioral …

Fight evolution with evolution: plasmid‐dependent phages with a wide host range prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance

2013

The emergence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics is a serious worldwide public health concern. Whenever antibiotics are applied, the genes encoding for antibiotic resistance are selected for within bacterial populations. This has led to the prevalence of conjugative plasmids that carry resistance genes and can transfer themselves between diverse bacterial groups. In this study, we investigated whether it is feasible to attempt to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistances with a lytic bacteriophage, which can replicate in a wide range of gram‐negative bacteria harbouring conjugative drug resistance–conferring plasmids. The counter‐selection against the plasmid was sh…

Physiological and Structural Responses to Prolonged Water Deficit in Young Trees of Two Olive Cultivars

2022

This study aimed to characterize the physiological and structural responses of potted one-year-old olive trees belonging to two olive cultivars—‘Nocellara del Belice’ and ‘Cerasuola’—exposed to prolonged drought under greenhouse conditions. Two irrigation treatments based on evapotranspiration (ET) were imposed for 69 days, i.e., well-watered (WW, 100% ET) and drought-stressed (DS, 10–30% ET). Leaf stomatal conductance (gs), stem water potential (Ψstem), transpiration (E), photosynthetic capacity (Amax), water use efficiency (WUE), stem (Kstem) and root (Kroot) hydraulic conductance, trunk diameter variations (TDV), and leaf patch attenuated pre…

Meeting the 24-h movement guidelines and health-related outcomes among youth with autism spectrum disorder: a seven-country observational study

2023

Abstract Background Meeting daily guidelines for physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration is associated with a host of health indicators for youth. In this cross-sectional observational study, we investigated the associations between adherence to the movement guidelines and health-related outcomes among youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods Parents of youth with ASD (10–17 years) from seven countries and regions were invited to provide online proxy-reports for child’s movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sleep and screen time), and health-related outcomes (i.e., body mass index [BMI], general health, and quality of life). A series of multiple linear regression…

Healthy behavior patterns among physical education students

2020

Abstract Research indicates that university students fail to exhibit satisfactory levels of health-oriented behaviors regarding their diets, physical activity, preventive practices, alcohol and drug use, coping with stress, personal relationships and mental health. This study examines the differences in health behaviors between genders and BA majors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 220 second-year undergraduate students, aged between 19 and 41 (M = 21.98, SD = 2.89), divided into three groups according to their BA majors: Physical Education (PE, n = 88, 40.00%), Technical Engineering (TE, n = 67, 30.46%), and Social Sciences (SS, n = 65, 29.55%). The majority of the sub…
