Item Response Trees: a recommended method for analyzing categorical data in behavioral studies
2015
Behavioral data are notable for presenting challenges to their statistical analysis, often due to the difficulties in measuring behavior on a quantitative scale. Instead, a range of qualitative alternative responses is recorded. These can often be understood as the outcome of a sequence of binary decisions. For example, faced by a predator, an individual may decide to flee or stay. If it stays, it may decide to freeze or display a threat and if it displays a threat, it may choose from several alternative forms of display. Here we argue that instead of being analyzed using traditional nonparametric statistics or a series of separate analyses split by response categories, this kind of data ca…
Chemical characterization of Anthemis parlatoreana fresh and dried aerial parts by GC and LC chromatographic techniques and evaluation of the antioxi…
2022
Anthemis parlatoreana was collected in the north west coast of Sicily. Fresh and dried aerial parts were subjected to distillation procedure for the extraction and isolation of essential oils. In both fresh and dried samples, the most abundant chemical classes were ketones and esters, represented to a greater extent by β-thujone and β-artemisia acetate, respectively. In dried vegetable material, a high content of α-pinene and δ3-carene was also registered. Aqueous, methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of aerial parts were also investigated in terms of polyphenolic content and antioxidant potential. All the extracts tested showed a quite different quali-quantitative profile and in terms of ch…
Transcriptional Rewiring, Adaptation, and the Role of Gene Duplication in the Metabolism of Ethanol of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2020
Ethanol is the main by-product of yeast sugar fermentation that affects microbial growth parameters, being considered a dual molecule, a nutrient and a stressor. Previous works demonstrated that the budding yeast arose after an ancient hybridization process resulted in a tier of duplicated genes within its genome, many of them with implications in this ethanol “produce-accumulate-consume” strategy. The evolutionary link between ethanol production, consumption, and tolerance versus ploidy and stability of the hybrids is an ongoing debatable issue. The implication of ancestral duplicates in this metabolic rewiring, and how these duplicates differ transcriptionally, remains unsolved. Here, we …
Ethical culture and moral identity: how they interact and influence unethical behavior in organizations
2021
La ética es un pilar fundamental en el funcionamiento de cualquier organización. Sin embargo, hemos tenido conocimiento de prácticas poco éticas en diferentes empresas alrededor del mundo, y esto ha sacudido nuestra confianza en las empresas y los que las dirigen. Por ejemplo, el Índice de Percepción de la Corrupción 2019 presentado por Transparencia Internacional cada año revela que casi el 70% de los países evaluados obtuvieron calificaciones por debajo de 50, con una calificación promedio de 43 en una escala de cero a 100, donde cero significa alto nivel de corrupción (Transparencia Internacional, 2020). Además, ese comportamiento poco ético tiene costes para las propias empresas. Así, p…
Ethical Culture and Management
2022
An unfortunate marker of the current times is the scale of unethical behavior and corporate corruption committed by business leaders. A powerful antecedent of unethical behavior is organizational culture. This chapter discusses what constitutes and drives an ethical culture. It defines the concept of ethical culture and reviews different approaches that have been used to measure ethical culture in organizations. The Corporate Ethical Virtues model is reviewed in more detail as one example of a reliable and valid way to operationalize ethical organizational cultures. Finally, specific management strategies to maintain and minimize potential threats to an ethical culture are also provided. pe…

Quality analysis of available information for patients with different pathologies on social media video platforms
2023
Internet ha sufrido una expansión incomparable hasta convertirse en el medio más importante de difusión de información en el mundo (Kocyigit et al., 2019). Buscar información sobre salud en Internet se ha convertido en algo progresivamente común hasta el punto de que los usuarios suelen utilizar Internet como fuente primaria de información sobre temas relacionados con la salud(Baker et al., 2021; Kocyigit et al., 2019; Sui et al., 2022). Según Amante et al. (2015), casi el cincuenta por ciento de los adultos en los Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) obtienen información relacionada con la salud a través de Internet(Amante et al., 2015). Como portal web popular para ver y compartir vídeos, YouTube es u…
THE IMPORTANCE OF ESTABLISHING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES
2012
Recently, companies have apprehended the fact that customers want more than merely products or services and have proceeded in providing value creation through customer experiences. Experience marketing has emphasized the need to stimulate, entertain and affect consumers at an emotional level in order to create the premises for an experience in consumption. The repercussions for the experience marketing approach can range from brand advocacy, word-of-mouth, to loyalty and motivation to buy such an experience. Therefore, companies need to manage these experiences and pay attention to the moments of truth the customer has with the organization in question.
