Differences in wage determination in the Eurozone: A challenge to the resilience of the common currency
2019
Abstract Different developments in wages and unit labor costs across countries can reduce the synchronization of business cycles within a currency area and therefore be a potential source of asymmetric shocks and/or asymmetric response to a common shock. In this paper, we use novel econometric methods to identify differences and similarities in wage determination across Eurozone countries. Results show that wages have different determinants across euro area countries, among which two relatively distinct groups can be identified. In particular, wages in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Finland behave more similarly, are less sticky and respond more to macroeconomic …
Using a phone-based learning tool as an instructional resource for initial literacy learning in rural African families
2020
Background: Despite increased enrolments at primary schools in Zambia, more than half of the children in Grades 1–4 are unable to meet the required minimum standards for literacy. Aim: The study set out to examine the effects of using a phone-based mobile literacy game (Graphogame) to improve literacy skills in children and adults in rural family settings. Setting: The study was conducted in the Katete District, a rural town in the eastern province of Zambia. Methods: Participants were 73 Grade 2 learners (52% boys, mean age 9 years and 48% girls, mean age 10 years) and 37 parents (mean age 36 years). Three literacy tests, measuring letter-sound identification, phonological awareness, spell…

Presencia de los partidos y agenda en los informativos en precampaña: elecciones generales de abril de 2019 en España
2020
Este trabajo analiza la presencia de los partidos y la agenda desplegada en los principales informativos españoles en la precampaña de las elecciones generales de abril de 2019. Se registra el tiempo concedido a cada tema y candidatura en los seis días previos al comienzo de la campaña en 24 emisiones, seis para cada una de las cuatro cadenas con mayor audiencia (general y en informativos): La 1, Antena 3, Telecinco y La Sexta. No se observa una proporcionalidad del tiempo dedicado a cada partido según su porcentaje de voto, siendo La 1 la cadena que más se acerca. Unidas Podemos, PP y ERC reciben menor atención en relación a su peso electoral, mientras que PSOE, VOX y Ciudadanos obtienen l…
Agenda and media pluralism in Al Rojo Vivo and Las Mañanas de Cuatro
2019
En: Doxa Comunicación: revista interdisciplinar de estudios de comunicación y ciencias sociales. e-ISSN 2386-3978 n. 29, 2019, pp 113-137. Aun con el auge del entorno digital e híbrido, la televisión continúa siendo el principal medio de información en España. Se toma una muestra de 50 programas (25 de “Al Rojo Vivo” y 25 de “Las Mañanas de Cuatro”) para registrar quién participa en ellos, en qué condiciones lo hacen y sobre qué temas se discute. Se aprecia un alto grado de equivalencia en la agenda establecida y una bajísima inclusión de mujeres. El Procés catalán monopolizó la atención. La metodología incluye la cuantificación de los contraargumentos recibidos por los contertulios, mostra…

Effect of aerobic exercise and low carbohydrate diet on pre-diabetic non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in postmenopausal women and middle aged men: s…
2014
Background. Pre-diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and pose extremely high costs to the healthcare system. In this study, we aim to explore whether individualized aerobic exercise (AEx) and low carbohydrate diet (LCh) intervention affect hepatic fat content (HFC) in pre-diabetes via modification of gut microbiota composition and other post-interventional effects. Methods/design. A 6-month randomized intervention with 6-month follow-up is conducted from January 2013 to December 2015. The target sample size for intervention is 200 postmenopausal women and middle-aged men aged 50–65 year-old with pre-diabetes and NAFLD. The qualifi…
An Automatic Ontology-Based Approach to Support Logical Representation of Observable and Measurable Data for Healthy Lifestyle Management: Proof-of-C…
2020
Background Lifestyle diseases, because of adverse health behavior, are the foremost cause of death worldwide. An eCoach system may encourage individuals to lead a healthy lifestyle with early health risk prediction, personalized recommendation generation, and goal evaluation. Such an eCoach system needs to collect and transform distributed heterogenous health and wellness data into meaningful information to train an artificially intelligent health risk prediction model. However, it may produce a data compatibility dilemma. Our proposed eHealth ontology can increase interoperability between different heterogeneous networks, provide situation awareness, help in data integration, and discover…
Conceptions of healthcare professionals about rehabilitees’ participation in goal setting in an acute hospital : a phenomenographic study
2022
Purpose: In acute care, effective goal-setting is an essential phase of a successful rehabilitation process. However, professionals’ knowledge and skills in rehabilitee-centered practice may not always match the ways of implementing goal-setting. This study aimed to describe the variation in how acute hospital professionals perceive and comprehend rehabilitee participation in rehabilitation goal-setting. Methods: Data were collected by interviewing 27 multidisciplinary rehabilitation team members in small groups shortly after rehabilitation goal-setting sessions. A qualitative research design based on phenomenography was implemented. Results: We identified four conceptions of rehabilitee pa…
"We will hunt Merkel": Representations of the German elections 2017 in British and American newspapers
2018
Uutisvälineiden tehtävä on tiedottaa maailman tapahtumista objektiivisesti suurelle yleisölle, mutta usein mediainstituutioiden tavoitteet määrittävät uutisraportoinnin näkökulman. Kielen käytöllä on tärkeä rooli mediadiskursseissa, ja erityisesti representaatioiden luomisessa. Median kuvaukset voivat vaikuttaa yleisön mielipiteeseen aiheista, joihin ihmisillä ei ole kosketusta jokapäiväisessä elämässä. Maan ulkopolitiikka ja väestön mielipide muista maista kuten esimerkiksi Saksasta, joka on johtavassa asemassa Euroopassa, on tärkeä globalisoituneessa maailmassamme. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella miten Saksan parlamenttivaaleja 2017 representoidaan brittiläisessä ja amerikka…
