Programa de prevención del abuso y la dependencia del teléfono móvil en población adolescente
2012
El teléfono móvil posee una serie de características que lo hacen especialmente atractivo para los adolescentes ya que satisface toda una serie de necesidades propias de esta edad: influye en el proceso de socialización, les proporciona autonomía respecto del control paterno; favorece el establecimiento y mantenimiento de relaciones interpersonales; facilita el proceso de adquisición de la identidad personal y es una fuente de ocio más. Todo ello favorece el uso, e incluso el abuso y la dependencia, de una herramienta que en un principio no es perjudicial en sí misma pero que, dadas las características de este grupo de edad, puede llegar a generarles problemas. Los principales objetivos fue…
Technological and behavioral aspects of perforated building envelope in the Mediterranean region
2015
Perforated building envelope presents a global contemporary architectural trend which is connected – in some circumstances – to the traditional perforated models, such as ‘Mashrabiyya’, ‘Takhtabush’, ‘Qmariyyah’, etc. This study focuses on perforated models that have archetypical perforated elements within buildings and have technological and behavioural functions reflecting socio-cultural values, economic situation, and environmental needs of the building’s users. An analytical comparison (technologically and behaviourally) has been conducted between the selected contemporary cases of perforated buildings and the traditional models, by considering various aspects of the building’s envelope…
Facilitation of goal-setting and follow-up in an internet intervention for health and wellness
2010
Chronic work-related stress and insufficient recovery from workload can gradually lead to problems with mental and physical health. Resources in healthcare are limited especially for preventive treatment, but low-cost support can be provided by Internet-based behavior change interventions. This paper describes the design of an Internet intervention which supports working-age people in managing and preventing stress-related health and wellness problems. The intervention is designed for early prevention and aims to motivate individuals to take responsibility for their own well-being. It allows them to choose the approach to take to address personally significant issues, while guiding them thr…
studio osservazionale retrospettivo della correlazione tra riduzione della massa ossea e disturbi comportamentali
Nel nostro studio sono stati esaminati due gruppi di soggetti, così suddivisi, un gruppo già con diagnosi strumentale di riduzione della massa ossea ed un gruppo controllo. Nel reclutamento del gruppo di controllo sono stati esclusi soggetti di età superiore a 65 anni, in terapia cortisonica per patologie croniche da più di sei mesi, individui che evidenziano all’anamnesi fattori che aumentano il rischio o le conseguenze delle cadute, quali disabilità, fattori ambientali, consumo di benzodiazepine, abuso di alcol o droghe, o con patologie note che possano essere responsabili di osteoporosi secondaria. La scheda di valutazione anamnestica, nei pazienti affetti da osteoporosi o osteopenia è c…
Multiverse Ethnography: A Qualitative Method for Gaming and Technology Use Research
2021
This article introduces multiverse ethnography as a systematic team-based qualitative method for studying the mechanical, structural and experiential properties of video games and other technological artefacts. Instead of applying the ethnographic method to produce a single in-depth account, multiverse ethnography includes multiple researchers carrying out coordinated synergetic ethnographic work on the same research object, thus producing a multiverse of interpretations and perspectives. To test the method, 41 scholars carried out a multiverse ethnography on two video games, Cyberpunk 2077 and Among Us. Explorative thematic findings regarding both titles are reported and methodological imp…
Open science as a better gatekeeper for science and society: a perspective from neurolaw
2018
Results from cognitive neuroscience have been cited as evidence in courtrooms around the world, and their admissibility has been a challenge for the legal system. Unfortunately, the recent reproducibility crisis in cognitive neuroscience, showing that the published studies in cognitive neuroscience may not be as trustworthy as expected, has made the situation worse. Here we analysed how the irreproducible results in cognitive neuroscience literature could compromise the standards for admissibility of scientific evidence, and pointed out how the open science movement may help to alleviate these problems. We conclude that open science not only benefits the scientific community but also the le…
A quantitative assessment of intraspecific morphological variation in Gahagan bifaces from the southern Caddo area and central Texas
2019
This investigation aggregates intact or reconstructed Gahagan bifaces from the southern Caddo area and central Texas to test the hypothesis that Gahagan biface morphology differs between the regions. The Gahagan bifaces (n = 102) were scanned, then analysed using a novel landmarking protocol and the tools of geometric morphometrics. Results provide a preview of the significant differences in Gahagan biface morphology expressed between the southern Caddo area and central Texas regions. The size discrepancy represents an inversion of current theoretical constructs that posit a decrease in tool size thought to articulate with an increase in distance from the raw material source. It is posited …
Frequency distribution of journalistic attention for scientific studies and scientific sources: An input – output analysis
2020
Based on the decision-theoretical conditions underlying the selection of events for news coverage in science journalism, this article uses a novel input-output analysis to investigate which of the more than eight million scientific study results published between August 2014 and July 2018 have been selected by global journalism to a relevant degree. We are interested in two different structures in the media coverage of scientific results. Firstly, the structure of sources that journalists use, i.e. scientific journals, and secondly, the congruence of the journalistic selection of single results. Previous research suggests that the selection of sources and results follows a certain heavy-tai…
A primer for choosing, designing and evaluating registered reports for qualitative methods
2023
Registered reports are a publication format that involves peer reviewing studies both before and after carrying out research procedures. Although registered reports were originally developed to combat challenges in quantitative and confirmatory study designs, today registered reports are also available for qualitative and exploratory work. This article provides a brief primer that aims to help researchers in choosing, designing, and evaluating registered reports, which are driven by qualitative methods.
