Sucedáneos, adulteraciones y falsificaciones de materias primas tintóreas en la industria textil del Mediterráneo Antiguo: la transmisión de un tradi…
2014
El estudio de los tintes en el mundo antiguo es un tema que, desde hace algunos años, está adquiriendo un gran auge en la actual investigación histórica en Europa y en EEUU. Los estudios realizados de manera individual por numerosos expertos de las distintas instituciones europeas en materia de tintes y colorantes han dado lugar a una amplia y variada literatura sobre el tema. El grupo español dirigido por la profesora Dra. C. Alfaro, directora de esta Tesis doctoral, ha sido pionero, abriendo nuevas vías de investigación en el estudio de la producción del tinte obtenido a partir de especies de moluscos marinos del género Hexaplex, Bolinus, y Purpura o Thais. Un primer estudio sobre los tin…
Effects of Task-Specific and Strength Training on Simulated Military Task Performance in Soldiers.
2020
A soldier’s occupational physical task requirements are diverse and varied. However, the type of physical training that most effectively improves soldiers’ occupational task requirements has not been studied previously. The purpose of this study was to determine the important strength characteristics for soldiers during a repeated simulated military task course, and the type of training that may be effective to improve these abilities during a specialized military training period. Forty-two (n = 42) soldiers participated in the study. They were divided into three training groups; a soldier task-specific training group (TSG, n = 17), a strength training group (STG, n = 15), and a control gro…
Il ruolo della famiglia nei processi di sviluppo e di apprendimento
2019
Dopo aver definito la complessità del concetto di famiglia nel mondo occidentale contemporaneo, l'articolo tratta del ruolo delle prime relazioni significative e di attaccamento nello sviluppo e nell'apprendimento dei bambini fin dai primi mesi di vita. In una prospettiva intersoggettiva e psicopedagogica il bambino è visto come attivo e partecipe nella relazione e viene sottolineata l’importanza di caregivers attenti e in ascolto, capaci di sintonizzarsi e di rimandare un senso di autoefficacia.
Cardiac cycle and respiration phase affect responses to the conditioned stimulus in young adults trained in trace eyeblink conditioning
2022
Rhythms of breathing and heartbeat are linked to each other as well as to rhythms of the brain. Our recent studies suggest that presenting the conditioned stimulus during expiration or during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle facilitates neural processing of that stimulus and improves learning an eyeblink classical conditioning task. To date, it has not been examined whether utilizing information from both respiration and cardiac cycle phases simultaneously allows even more efficient modulation of learning. Here we studied whether the timing of the conditioned stimulus to different cardiorespiratory rhythm phase combinations affects learning trace eyeblink conditioning in healthy you…
Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide trends and variations in raised blood pressure: A pooled analysis of 1018…
2018
Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successful clinical interventions to control blood pressure in the hypertensive population). Our aim was to quantify the contributions of these two phenomena to the worldwide trends in the prevalence of raised blood pressure. Methods: We pooled 1018 population-based studies with blood pressure measurements on 88.6 million participants from 1985 to 2016. We first calculated mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean dia…
Competencias emocionales y bienestar subjetivo en adultos emergentes
2022
Introducción. La adultez emergente se caracteriza por la exploración continua de la identidad, y el enfoque propio, la inestabilidad, optimismo para el futuro y el sentimiento intermedio de no ser ni adolescentes ni adultos (Arnett, 2014). Así, un desarrollo evolutivo positivo desde etapas anteriores a la adultez emergente facilita la disposición de herramientas y recursos útiles para afrontar esta transición de la adolescencia a la edad adulta. La inteligencia emocional, junto con la felicidad, la empatía y la autoestima, suponen factores de protección frente a los problemas de salud mental. A su vez, el bienestar subjetivo se relaciona con mejores habilidades emocionales y sociales, mejor…
The relationship between context, structure, and processes with outcomes of 6 regional diabetes networks in Europe
2018
BackgroundWhile health service provisioning for the chronic condition Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) often involves a network of organisations and professionals, most evidence on the relationships between the structures and processes of service provisioning and the outcomes considers single organisations or solo practitioners. Extending Donabedian's Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model, we investigate how differences in quality of life, effective coverage of diabetes, and service satisfaction are associated with differences in the structures, processes, and context of T2D services in six regions in Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Spain, and UK.MethodsData collection consisted of: a) systemat…
Growth Into Citizenship: Framework for Conceptualizing Learning in NGO Interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa
2018
This article develops a theoretical framework for analyzing adult learning in projects aiming to strengthen citizenship implemented by nongovernmental organizations, especially in the contexts of sub-Saharan Africa. On the basis of a review of international development research, we suggest that a new framework should address the need for a conceptualization of learning as a gradual process and for capturing the gap between ideal models and everyday experiences of citizenship. We argue, building on John Dewey’s philosophy, for a framework of growth into citizenship, and introduce the notions of learning as reorganization of habits and the method of democracy as an avenue for learning as nove…
The Rocky Road of Growing into Contemporary Citizenship: Dewey, Gramsci, and the Method of Democracy
2015
Characterized by globalization, increasing pluralism, and new complexities of citizenship, the contemporary world poses challenges to the ways in which we conceptualize of the processes of searching for shared solutions to ever-complicated social problems. While the political rhetoric emphasizes the value of citizens’ participation, engagement, and “voices,” there are increasing feelings of frustration, incapacity, and disinterest on behalf of the citizens regarding the supposed eff ects of their political engagement. In order to conceptually grasp the problem of searching for shared solutions and the related challenges to education, we draw on John Dewey’s idea of the method of democracy a…
Digital generations, but not as we know them
2019
The aim of this article is to see whether or not adolescents were the real leaders of the digital ‘revolution’ in the 1990s and whether they have sustained or even improved their position in the 2000s. The analysis is based on two surveys carried out in Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain in 1996 ( N = 6609) and in 2009 ( N = 7255). The results show that the adolescents belonging to the first digital generation in 1996 were the most equipped with new technologies, although not the most intensive users. In 2009, the adolescents lost their position as the leading adopters and lagged behind youth and young adults regarding the use of new technologies and computer skills.
