Integration Through Participation Introductory Notes to the Study of Administrative Integration
2002
When aiming at studying the interconnectedness of administrative systems - and in particular the integration of domestic governance systems and the institutions of the European Union - at least two variables are important to address: (i) the intensity and frequency of cross-level interaction and participation amongst the members of these systems, and (ii) the principles of organization being uppermost at both levels of governance. This article argues that in order to measure administrative integration, particular emphasis should be attached to the way these variables impact upon the organization members individually. Put more precisely, I argue that studies of administrative integration sho…
Children’s Public Participation, Middle-Class Families and Emotions
2014
The article examines the activities of a municipal children's parliament (the TCP) in a middle-sized Finnish town. The article focuses on members of the TCP board and their parents and the emphasis is on parents' views as very little research exists on family background in relation to children's public participation. All the participating families were middle-class, both as self-defined and according to their socioeconomic background. The parents studied detailed different emotions they and their children experienced as members of the children's parliament. The article illustrates that being a middle-class child and participating in civic activities is not an uncomplicated description of pr…
Distinct trajectories of physical activity and related factors during the life course in the general population: a systematic review
2019
Background In recent years, researchers have begun applying a trajectory approach to identify homogeneous subgroups of physical activity (PA) in heterogeneous populations. This study systematically reviewed the articles identifying longitudinal PA trajectory classes and the related factors (e.g., determinants, predictors, and outcomes) in the general population during different life phases. Methods The included studies used finite mixture models for identifying trajectories of PA, exercise, or sport participation. Three electronic databases, PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, and CINAHL, were searched from the year 2000 to 13 February 2018. The study was conducted according to the PRISMA rec…
Estimating Patient Empowerment and Nurses' Use of Digital Strategies: eSurvey Study.
2021
Patient empowerment is seen as the capability to understand health information and make decisions based on it. It is a competence that can improve self-care, adherence and overall health. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for information and has also reduced the number of visits to health centers. Nurses have had to adapt in order to continue offering quality care in different environments such as the digital world, but this entails assessing the level of their patients’ empowerment and adapting material and educational messages to new realities. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to assess nurses’ use of digital resources to provide reinforcing information to their patie…
Artesanos emprendedores en la industria textil. Del taller al mercado. El caso del pelaire contestano Bernat Martí (1469-1482)
2014
El presente trabajo analiza la función de un sector del artesanado en el desarrollo y la consolidación de las comunidades pañeras del interior valenciano durante la segunda mitad del siglo XV. Tomando como referencia las comarcas del interior-sur del País Valenciano (la Vall d’Albaida, l’Alcoià y el Comtat, con pequeñas ciudades pañeras como Ontinyent, Alcoi y, especialmente, Cocentaina, donde centraremos nuestro estudio), se analiza cómo un pequeño grupo de artesanos tendía a centralizar y gestionar la actividad textil local mediante su participación directa en el mercado de la lana, tintes y aceite, también mediante el control de las fases de acabado del paño (tundido, abatanado, tintado)…
La contribución de las refugiadas colombianas a la Agenda Global de Desarrollo a través de su empoderamiento en la acción colectiva para la defensa d…
2020
El propósito del presente estudio es ahondar sobre los aportes y los significados del activismo social y político en defensa de los derechos humanos que llevan a cabo las refugiadas colombianas asentadas en España y su estrecha vinculación con relevantes dos procesos que experimentan: de empoderamiento y generación de nuevas identidades. Considerando, además, que el drama del exilio es un elemento que atraviesa y fragmenta sus trayectorias vitales incrementando sustancialmente su vulnerabilidad, las refugiadas colombianas en España son un ejemplo de resiliencia que se fundamenta en la conformación de redes de activismo en defensa de los derechos humanos de las mujeres exiliadas. Para ello s…

The use of employee participation in the USA and Spanish companies
2008
Abstract This article presents a description of employee participation in Spain. The number of published papers in English about Spain regarding this subject is very low, and even lower by Spanish authors. In short, we can say that there is hardly any knowledge regarding employee participation in Spain in both the European and American settings. This paper summarized the results of a research project we carried out whose objective was to compare employee participation using samples from large American and Spanish companies following the works of Edward E. Lawler and his team. Our aim is to have professionals and researchers throughout the world better understand the actual situation in our …
