DEBATMITAL 2.0: 2ª Edición de los debates sobre mitos en alimentación

2020

[ES] En la segunda edición del DEBATMITAL, se ha vuelto a utilizar el debate como herramienta docente para abordar el tema de los Mitos en la Alimentación, en la asignatura optativa del Grado en Medicina de la Universitat de Valencia, “Alimentación y Dietética”. Como novedad respecto a la edición pasada, este curso se ha debatido sobre temas de actualidad acerca de la alimentación, sobre los que existe controversia real en la comunidad científica. Los alumnos han valorado la actividad aún más positivamente este curso: la vuelven a preferir respecto a la lección magistal y además creen que les ayuda a adquirir varias competencias propias de su grado. En base a esta experiencia, se consolida …

Thermodynamics-based gradient plasticity theories with an application to interface models

2008

AbstractIn the framework of small deformations, the so-called residual-based gradient plasticity theory is reconsidered and improved. Using the notion of moving geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs), suitable micromechanics interpretations are heuristically given for the higher order boundary conditions and the long distance particle interactions. Also, a comparison is made between this theory and the analogous virtual work principle (VWP)-based one, whereby their respective conceptual and methodological features are pointed out. The conditions under which the two theories lead to a same constitutive model are investigated, showing that, correspondingly, a certain indeterminacy exhibi…

Nova metodologia d'aprenentatge autònom aplicada a una pràctica d'Enginyeria Química mitjançant tècniques de recerca-acció

2014

Un grup de professors del Departament d'Enginyeria Química i Ambiental de l'Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de la Universitat de Sevilla ha realitzat un treball d'investigació-acció amb l’objectiu de millorares resultats docents en l'assignatura Experimentació en Enginyeria Química. El procés d'investigació-acció ha consistit en dissenyar una metodologia alternativa per a una de les pràctiques de l'assignatura, incorporant un exercici d'auto-aprenentatge que substitueixi la tradicional metodologia aplicada. L'objectiu de l'experiència docent pretén aconseguir una participació més activa de l'alumnat, millorant l'assimilació de conceptes i la capacitat per planejar el treball experiment…

Who turns to entrepreneurship later in life? - Push and pull in Finnish rural and urban areas

2014

Age is an important factor in entrepreneurship. The paths into entrepreneurship at a later age may be varied. Self-employment in later life may be either a form of partial retirement or a career option. Older individuals may also be pushed into self-employment. The focus of this paper is on the career choices of older individuals and their background motivations in Finland. The purpose is to analyse the factors and motives in terms of the push and pull dichotomy that lead individuals to enter self-employment at older ages in different types of labour markets in Finland, viz., rural and urban areas. Although some studies have focused on transitions to self-employment among older workers, que…

The continuous sample of working lives: Improving its representativeness

2017

This paper studies the representativeness of the Continuous Sample of Working Lives (CSWL), a set of anonymized microdata containing information on individuals from Spanish Social Security records. We examine several CSWL waves (2005–2013) and show that it is not representative for the population with a pension income. We then develop a methodology to draw a large dataset from the CSWL that is much more representative of the retired population in terms of pension type, gender and age. This procedure also makes it possible for users to choose between goodness of fit and subsample size. In order to illustrate the practical significance of our methodology, the paper also contains an applicatio…

The Nordic difference: Job quality in Europe 1995–2010

2012

Previous empirical research has pointed out that Nordic countries are distinguished from the rest of Europe in terms of job quality. On the other hand, it has been debated whether, in the longer run, the Nordic welfare state is able to insulate workers from globalization effects. This article investigates whether Nordic countries have retained their advantageous position concerning job quality compared with other EU countries. Empirical analyses are based on the European Working Conditions Survey collected in 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. We use data on employees in the 15 member states of the EU prior to enlargement in 2004 (n = 61,457). The results partly confirm previous findings of high j…

Different Conceptions of Burnout and Its Relationships with Job Strain and Emotional Intelligence

2021

Burnout is an emotional syndrome that involves a prolonged response to stress. Its study in the work environment is of interest, since it manifests itself through negative attitudes toward work and affects the emotional, attitudinal, and physical level of the person who suffers it. The most relevant instruments for measuring burnout are the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), most commonly used, and the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM). Likewise, taking into account the emotional nature of the Burnout, it is related to Emotional Intelligence (EI), playing a very important role in the adaptive capacity of individuals in stressful situations. The aim of the present study is (1) to analyze t…
