On the "Strength" of Behavior.
2020
AbstractThe place of the concept of response strength in a natural science of behavior has been the subject of much debate. This article reconsiders the concept of response strength for reasons linked to the foundations of a natural science of behavior. The notion of response strength is implicit in many radical behaviorists’ work. Palmer (2009) makes it explicit by applying the response strength concept to three levels: (1) overt behavior, (2) covert behavior, and (3) latent or potential behavior. We argue that the concept of response strength is superfluous in general, and an explication of the notion of giving causal status to nonobservable events like latent behavior or response strengt…
The effects of 8-weeks Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program on cognitive control: an EEG study
2019
Objectives: Mindfulness practice can enhance different aspects of attentional functions, such as the ability to sustain the attentional focus over time. However, it is still unclear whether this practice might indeed impact higher cognitive functions, such as control mechanisms that allow the appropriate and flexible allocation of attentional resources. In this longitudinal study, changes associated with a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program were investigated, with a focus on proactive and reactive cognitive control mechanisms, namely, the ability to maintain task-relevant information and to prepare in advance the response, and the ability to promptly adjust overlearned behavi…

Estudio ex post-facto del estrés a largo plazo en una muestra de personas adoptadas
2016
In this work we study the impact of relinquishment and the adoption process in posttraumatic symptoms in a group of 55 adults that were adopted as children before 1970. The effects of institutionalization, maltreatment, traumatic revelation of the adopted status and stressful life events have also been studied. No significant differences were found between institutionalized and non-institutionalized adoptees in posttraumatic symptomatology. However, adoptees who suffered maltreatment, traumatic revelation and high level of stressful life events scored significantly higher in intrusion and arousal than those adoptees non-maltreated, without traumatic revelation and with low level of stressfu…

London 2012. Sustainable Design, Delivering a Games Legacy è una monografia pubblicata nel gennaio del 2012, dalla casa editrice americana John Wiley & Sons Inc., e non ancora radotta in italiano. In quest’opera l’autrice, Hattie Hartman, architetto e urban designer, formatosi alla Harvard University e al Massachusetts Institute of Technology, scrive alla luce dell’esperienza maturata come Sustainability editor nel settimanale inglese “The Architects’ Journal”, edito dal 1896 a compendio del famoso mensile internazionale “The Architectural Review”, proponendoci una lettura sulla sostenibilità dei lavori per le Olimpiadi di Londra 2012.
The Interactions between COVID-19 Cases in the USA, the VIX Index and Major Stock Markets
2021
With this study, we aimed to determine (1) the effect of the daily new cases and deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States on the CBOE volatility index (VIX index) and (2) the effect of the VIX index on the major stock markets during the early stage of the pandemic period. To do this, we collected and analysed the daily new cases and death numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic period in the United States and the country indexes of the USA (DJI), Germany (DAX), France (CAC40), England (FTSE100), Italy (MIB), China (SSEC) and Japan (Nikkei225) to determine the impact of the VIX index on the major stock markets. We then subjected this data to the Johansen co-integration test and …
Reflexiones a propósito de la protección de datos en el escenario global digital: El derecho de daños en la litigiosidad internacional
2021
La circulación internacional de datos personales constituye un sector pujante en la esfera socio-económica. En tales condiciones, ante la existencia de un tratamiento ilícito de aquellos, el agraviado está legitimado para exigir una indemnización por los daños y perjuicios que se hubieran podido originar en el marco transfronterizo. Tal situación plantea dos cuestiones fundamentales: por un lado, determinar el órgano jurisdiccional competente para conocer de un eventual litigio, y, por otro, precisar la Ley aplicable para resolver la controversia suscitada. En la presente investigación cabe destacar las significativas novedades que introduce el Reglamento (UE) 2016/679, de 27 de abril de 20…

Development of low-diffusion techniques for a high pressure xenon electroluminescent TPC
2022
El neutrino es una partícula que ha despertado un gran interés en las últimas décadas. Su existencia fue conjeturada por W. Pauli en 1930 para explicar el espectro continuo de la desintegración beta. El descubrimiento inequívoco de la oscilación de neutrinos en 1998 demostró que los neutrinos tienen una masa que no desaparece. Por lo tanto, es necesario acomodar un neutrino masivo en la teoría expandiendo el Modelo Estándar y eso se puede hacer suponiendo que el neutrino es una partícula de Majorana, que se define como un fermión que es su propia antipartícula. El mecanismo que da su masa a un neutrino Majorana podría explicar la leptogénesis y parte de la asimetría materia-antimateria obse…
Globorotalia truncatulinoides in the Mediterranean Basin during the Middle–Late Holocene: Bio-Chronological and Oceanographic Indicator
2022
The planktonic foraminiferal species Globorotalia truncatulinoides is widely used as a biostratigraphic proxy for the Quaternary in the Mediterranean region. High-resolution quantitative studies performed on sediment cores collected in the central and western Mediterranean Sea evidence a significant abundance of G. truncatulinoides during the Middle Holocene. The robust chronological frame allows us to date this bio-event to 4.8–4.4 ka Before Present (BP), very close to the base of the Meghalayan stage (4.2 ka BP). As a consequence, we propose that G. truncatulinoides can be considered a potential marker for the Middle–Late Holocene chronological subdivision. G. truncatulinoides is a deep-d…
