Compete and Compromise: Machiavellianism and Conflict Resolution

2014

The aim of our present study was to examine Machiavellians’ conflict management styles that have been neglected in previous research. One hundred eighty three participants completed the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument and the Mach-IV test. A positive correlation was found between the scores on the Mach scale and the scores on the Competing and Compromising subscales, while a negative correlation was found between Mach scores and Avoiding and Accommodating scores. These results coincide with findings on the Machiavellians’ assertive, opportunistic and flexible strategies. Using the adequate problem solving strategies, Machiavellians can successfully adapt to the requirements of a given situation, …

Alternative Dispute Resolution Systems Across the European Union, Iceland and Norway

2014

Abstract Alternative dispute resolution schemes (ADR) have been developed differently across the EU. It is difficult to determine which of the countries have developed the most successful schemes. Therefore the aim of this article is to summarize different organizational aspects of ADR schemes across the EU, to determine similarities across different countries and to define them in specific systems. Defining these schemes in systems will not only help to evaluate and compare ADR schemes and their success between different countries but will help also professionals, governments and other stakeholders to develop more effective ADR schemes across the EU, Iceland and Norway.

Monitoring water and carbon fluxes at fine spatial scales using HyspIRI-like measurements

2012

Remotely sensed observations in the visible to the shortwave infrared (VSWIR) and thermal infrared (TIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used synergistically to provide valuable products of land surface properties for reliable assessments of carbon and water fluxes. The high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution VSWIR and TIR observations provided by the proposed Hyperspectral - InfraRed (HyspIRI) mission will enable a new era of global agricultural monitoring, critical for addressing growing issues of food insecurity. To enable predictions at fine spatial resolution (<100m), modeling efforts must rely on a combination of high-frequency temporal and highresolution spa…

Integration of high resolution spatial and spectral data acquisition systems to provide complementary datasets for cultural heritage applications

2010

International audience; Modern optical measuring systems are able to record objects with high spatial and spectral precision. The acquisition of spatial data is possible with resolutions of a few hundredths of a millimeter using active projection-based camera systems, while spectral data can be obtained using filter-based multispectral camera systems that can capture surface spectral reflectance with high spatial resolution. We present a methodology for combining data from these two discrete optical measuring systems by registering their individual measurements into a common geometrical frame. Furthermore, the potential for its application as a tool for the non-invasive monitoring of painti…

Pāra attiecību kvalitātes saistība ar konfliktu risināšanas stiliem sievietēm un vīriešiem

2021

Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt, vai pastāv saistība starp pāra attiecību kvalitāti un konfliktu risināšanas stiliem pāra attiecībās sievietēm un vīriešiem. Izpētē piedalījās 96 respondenti vecumā no 25 – 35 gadiem, iedalot sieviešu (n=66; SD=2,93) un vīriešu (n=30; SD=2,30) grupu. Pētījums ir neeksperimentāls, korelatīvi aprakstošs. Instrumentārijs iekļauj divas aptaujas: Uztvertās attiecību kvalitātes komponentu aptauja (Perceived Ralationship Quality Components, PRQC, Fletcher, Simpson & Thomas, 2000); Romantisko partneru konfliktu skala (The Romantic Partner Conflict Scale, Zacchilli, Hendrick, & Hendrick, 2009). No iegūtajiem datiem izriet statistiski nozīmīgas pozitīvas un negatīvas kore…

Ba/Ca ratios in shells of Arctica islandica —Potential environmental proxy and crossdating tool

2017

Abstract Ba/Ca shell time-series of marine bivalves typically show flat background levels which are interrupted by erratic sharp peaks. Evidence from the literature indicates that background Ba/Ca shell ratios broadly reflect salinity conditions. However, the causes for the Ba/Ca shell peaks are still controversial and widely debated although many researchers link these changes to primary productivity, freshwater input or spawning events. The most striking feature is that the Ba/Ca shell peaks are highly synchronous in contemporaneous specimens from the same population. For the first time, we studied Ba/Ca shell in mature and ontogenetically old (up to 251 year-old) specimens of the long-li…

Bargaining for the Spoils of War: Somalia’s Failing Path from War to Peace

2014

ABSTRACTFor more than 20 years, Somalia has experienced state failure. Today, radical political Islam and groups such as al-Shabab with links to al-Qaida are gaining ground. The current federal government is failing to provide public goods, such as security, education, and health, to the population it claims to represent. To date, more than a dozen peace negotiations to end this conflict have failed. The objective of this article is to shed light on why past peace processes have failed. The study of the Mbagathi peace process that preceded the United Nations–led Djibouti peace process can help to better understand the current political stalemate and conflict in Somalia. Moreover, some of th…

Revista complutense de educación

2020

Introducción: el desarrollo de las competencias en la educación obligatoria, concretamente las referidas al ámbito emocional, supone una oportunidad para integrar aquellos aprendizajes considerados imprescindibles. Los libros de texto constituyen el material pedagógico por excelencia, lo que permite atisbar los contenidos que se presentan en las aulas. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el tratamiento de las competencias en salud mental y emocional en libros de texto de Ciencias Naturales de Educación Primaria en España. Metodología: la muestra quedó conformada por los textos de Educación Primaria de las tres editoriales de mayor distribución en España. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo d…
