Agrupaciones autónomas de personas ante el impuesto sobre el valor añadido

2021

This work carries out the delimitation of the exemption in the European V.A.T., of the benefits made to its members, by the autonomous groups of people, highlighting the distinctions made by the community case law, with particular attention to the subjective element of the exemption.

Effects of menu structure and touch screen scrolling style on the variability of glance durations during in-vehicle visual search tasks.

2011

The effects of alternative navigation device display features on drivers' visual sampling efficiency while searching forpoints of interest were studied in two driving simulation experiments with 40 participants. Given that the number of display items was sufficient, display features that facilitate resumption of visual search following interruptions were expected to lead to more consistent in-vehicle glance durations. As predicted, compared with a grid-style menu, searching information in a list-style menu while driving led to smaller variance in durations of in-vehicle glances, in particular with nine item displays. Kinetic touch screen scrolling induced a greater number of very short in-v…

Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers

2016

Ismael Pedraza, 2016. Systematic review of the evidence of interoceptive awareness in performers. Master s thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. Pp. 53. Interoception is the conscious awareness of internal sensations coming from autonomic responses of the body including inputs such as visceral sensations, heart rate, sensations of tight muscles, etc. Those sensations are experienced due to the autonomic nervous system that is in charge of controlling and regulating bodily functions and cannot be manipulated intentionally. Previous research on interoception in performers has shown that a relationship exists between our inner bodily se…

Flying solo or working together? How are the media professionals managed? : perceptions of heads of PR-agencies and editors-in-chief

2012

Tämä tutkimus tutkii viestintätoimistojen ja sanomalehtien johtamista. Tutkimuksen aihe on haasteellinen, sillä aikaisemmat tutkimukset eivät tutki johtamista viestintäyrityksissä vaan keskittyvät mm. suhdetoiminnan (PR) integroimiseen osaksi viestintäyritysten asiakasorganisaatioiden johtamista. Sanomalehdissä johtamistutkimukset viime aikoina ovat taas jääneet vähemmälle, kun tutkimukset ovat kohdistuneet lähinnä mediamuutoksen vaikutukseen ja printtimedian tulevaisuusnäkymien arviointiin. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen tausta yhdisteltiin muun muassa käsitteistä huomiotyö ja push ja pull –prosessit, jotta voitiin painottaa media-alojen toiminnan muuttumista perinteisistä push-prosesseista pull…

The feasibility of working memory tablet tasks in predicting scholastic skills in classroom settings

2019

Cognitive assessment in natural group settings facilitates data collection but poses threats to the validity. In this study, tablet‐based working memory (WM) tasks, the counting span, and reading span were used in predicting 12‐year‐old children's (N = 837) scholastic skills and fluid intelligence in a classroom with environmental noise. WM tasks had excellent internal consistency, correlated with scholastic skills, and accounted for more of the variance in cognitive performance (grade point average, fluid intelligence, scholastic skills) compared with individually administered (n = 190) digit span task. Furthermore, the multilevel analysis revealed that compared with the classrooms with no…

The impact of retro-cue validity on working memory representation: Evidence from electroencephalograms.

2022

Visual working memory (VWM) performance can be improved by retrospectively cueing an item. The validity of retro-cues has an impact on the mechanisms underlying the retro-cue effect, but how non-cued representations are handled under different retro-cue validity conditions is not yet clear. Here, we used electroencephalograms to investigate whether retro-cue validity can affect the fate of non-cued representations in VWM. The participants were required to perform a change-detection task using a retro-cue with 80% or 20% validity. Contralateral delay activity and the lateralized alpha power were used to assess memory storage and selective attention, respectively. The retro-cue could redirect…

Gray Matter Changes in the Orbitofrontal-Paralimbic Cortex in Male Youths With Non-comorbid Conduct Disorder

2020

Conduct disorder is one of the most common developmental psychiatric disorders which is characterized by persistent aggressive and antisocial behaviors during childhood or adolescence. Previous neuroimaging studies have investigated the neural correlates underlying CD and demonstrated several constructive findings. However, Individuals with CD are at high risk for comorbidities, which might give rise to the inconsistencies of existed findings. It remains unclear which neuroanatomical abnormalities are specifically related to CD without comorbidities. Using structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data of 69 CD and 69 typically developing (TD) male youths (aged 14-17 years), the present …

Social Cognition in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Associations with Executive…

2017

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social impairments. The first objective of this study was to analyze social cognition deficits of children with ADHD, high-functioning ASD (HFASD), and typical development (TD) in their performance on explicit and applied measures of theory of mind (ToM). The second objective was to investigate the relationships between executive functions and social cognition in HFASD and ADHD. One hundred and twenty-six 7- to 11-year old children, 52 with HFASD, 35 with ADHD, and 39 with TD, performed the NEPSY-II social perception subtests. Parents estimated their children’…
