Childhood aggression and the co-occurrence of behavioural and emotional problems: results across ages 3–16 years from multiple raters in six cohorts …
2018
Childhood aggression and its resulting consequences inflict a huge burden on affected children, their relatives, teachers, peers and society as a whole. Aggression during childhood rarely occurs in isolation and is correlated with other symptoms of childhood psychopathology. In this paper, we aim to describe and improve the understanding of the co-occurrence of aggression with other forms of childhood psychopathology. We focus on the co-occurrence of aggression and other childhood behavioural and emotional problems, including other externalising problems, attention problems and anxiety-depression. The data were brought together within the EU-ACTION (Aggression in Children: unravelling gene-…
Longitudinal heritability of childhood aggression
2016
The genetic and environmental contributions to the variation and longitudinal stability in childhood aggressive behavior were assessed in two large twin cohorts, the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR), and the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS; United Kingdom). In NTR, maternal ratings on aggression from the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were available for 10,765 twin pairs at age 7, for 8,557 twin pairs at age 9/10, and for 7,176 twin pairs at age 12. In TEDS, parental ratings of conduct disorder from the Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ) were available for 6,897 twin pairs at age 7, for 3,028 twin pairs at age 9 and for 5,716 twin pairs at age 12. In both studies, stability and…

ESTRUCTURAS ORGANIZATIVAS EN EMPRESAS DE INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN ACELERADA: EVIDENCIA EMPÍRICA
2014
Las pequeñas y medianas empresas internacionales pueden clasificarse en tradicionales, y empresas de internacionalización acelerada o born global. A pesar de que existe una variedad importante de investigaciones en el tema, ninguna ha establecido si existen diferencias entre la organización formal de una empresa de internacionalización acelerada y una empresa internacional tradicional. Mediante un estudio de casos a nivel comparativo, se establecen dos empresas internacionales tradicionales en la industria turística y de alimentos, y se analizan sus estructuras formales, con respecto a dos empresas en las mismas industrias con características de born global. Se determinan diferencias en los…
MÚSICA Y DESCARGA DE INTERNET: ANÁLISIS DE SUS ANTECEDENTES E IMPLICACIONES DE GESTIÓN
2014
La descarga de música de Internet es un fenómeno cada vez más extendido, que está causando importantes daños a la industria musical. Tomando como referencia la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado, el presente trabajo trata de identificar las variables que condicionan la intención del individuo de descargarse música no autorizada, incorporando nuevas relaciones no contempladas explícitamente en la teoría considerada. Sólo conociendo el por qué del comportamiento se podrá valorar la posible instrumentalización de acciones a tendentes mejorar la situación por la que atraviesa la industria musical. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se proponen acciones vinculadas con la gestión.
A multi-parametric evolution strategies algorithm for vehicle routing problems
2007
Vehicle routing problems are at the heart of most decision support systems for real-life distribution problems. In vehicle routing problem a set of routes must be determined at lowest total cost for a number of resources (i.e. fleet of vehicles) located at one or several points (e.g. depots, warehouses) in order to efficiently service a number of demand or supply points. In this paper an efficient evolution strategies algorithm is developed for both capacitated vehicle routing problem and for vehicle routing problem with time window constraints. The algorithm is based on a new multi-parametric mutation procedure that is applied within the 1 + 1 evolution strategies algorithm. Computational …
A penalty-based edge assembly memetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with time windows
2010
In this paper, we present an effective memetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). The paper builds upon an existing edge assembly crossover (EAX) developed for the capacitated VRP. The adjustments of the EAX operator and the introduction of a novel penalty function to eliminate violations of the time window constraint as well as the capacity constraint from offspring solutions generated by the EAX operator have proven essential to the heuristic's performance. Experimental results on Solomon's and Gehring and Homberger benchmarks demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms previous approaches and is able to improve 184 best-known solutions out of 356 instance…
A (des)confiança dos jornalistas espanhóis às instituições públicas a partir do estudo de fatores organizacionais
2016
Existe un creciente interés en la bibliografía científica por conocer las prácticas y rutinas de las y los periodistas en distintos contextos (Hanitzsch et al., 2011). La confianza que tienen estos profesionales en las instituciones públicas es una variable clave para comprender su cultura profesional (Hanitzsch & Berganza, 2012; Brants, de Vreese, Möller & van Praag, 2010; van Dalen, Albæk & de Vreese, 2011), así como el interés y la confianza de la ciudadanía en la política (Cappella & Jamieson, 1997). Este estudio pretende conocer el nivel de confianza de las y los periodistas españoles en las instituciones públicas y verificar si el tipo, alcance y propiedad del medio influyen en dichos…
PODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF FOOT CARE IN SOCIAL CARE CENTERS
2018
Investigate the necessity for therapeutic foot care and the involvement of a podologist in an interdisciplinary health care team in social care institutions in Latvia. So far, no study has been conducted on the need for therapeutic pediatric care for Social Care Center (SCC) clients in Latvia; it is known that in individual SCC’s where some podologists work part-time, another podologist is invited in specific cases, or clients are taken to a podologist at a medical institution. The study was conducted in 15 Latvian Social Care Centers (SCC), surveying 750 customer feet. People who, for various reasons, are no longer capable of foot care, is a highly necessary specialist who will do it profe…
Medioevo e Mediterraneo: incontri, scambi e confronti. Studi per Salvatore Fodale
2020
Il volume Medioevo e Mediterraneo: incontri, scambi e confronti raccoglie un ampio e articolato omaggio a Salvatore Fodale, professore ordinario di Storia Medievale dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo e dal 2015 emerito, reso da colleghi, italiani e stranieri, e allievi a lui legati da interessi scientifici e rapporti di amicizia, a testimonianza della vocazione internazionale della sua ricerca e delle relazioni intessute durante la lunga carriera di accademico. L'opera si articola in quattro sezioni con testi in italiano, castigliano, catalano, francese e inglese: I Regni e aristocrazie tra consenso e conflitto, II Istituzioni ecclesiastiche e vita religiosa, III Economia, fisco e lavor…
