Time trends of technology mediated communication with friends among bullied and not bullied children in four Nordic countries between 2001 and 2010
2016
Background Friends are important in childhood and adolescence, especially to bullied children. Technology mediated communication (TMC) could be used both to develop and maintain friendship. The present study examined (1) trends in the use of TMC with friends between 2001 and 2010; (2) possible differences between bullied and not bullied children and (3) differences between children with few close friends and children with several close friends. Methods Data were obtained from three waves of the serial cross-sectional Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children survey conducted in Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden during 2001/2002, 2005/2006 and 2009/2010. The total sample consisted of 65 95…
Análisis del comportamiento espacio-temporal intradestino mediante GPS : Una aproximación de los visitantes independientes de crucero en la ciudad de…
2020
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo profundizar en el análisis de los patrones de comportamiento espacio-temporal de los visitantes en destino, una escala de trabajo insuficientemente desarrollada. La investigación aplica un enfoque multimétodo, que combina el uso de GPS con una encuesta, al conocimiento de los patrones espaciales de los cruceristas que visitan la ciudad de Valencia de manera independiente. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian la polarización de los flujos en el centro histórico de la ciudad, dentro de un patrón mayoritario de único nodo, una dinámica que conviene gestionar adecuadamente para prevenir la congestión y poner en valor otros atractivos urbanos. La redistribu…
Investigación internacional en marketing turístico: análisis de contenido sobre temas y metodologías
2008
Con los objetivos de (1) determinar los temas más recurrentes en la literatura de marketing turístico y su ámbito de aplicación, intentando identificar futuras líneas de investigación, y (2) analizar la orientación metodológica de los mismos, se realizó una investigación centrada en el análisis de contenido de 269 artículos de marketing turístico publicados en las principales revistas internacionales especializadas en el periodo 2004-2006. Los resultados obtenidos por tres jueces independientes destacan el papel central del comportamiento del turista, siendo las estrategias de marketing el segundo tema más estudiado. En cuanto al subsector, casi la mitad de los trabajos de marketing turísti…
The role of ICT, eWOM and guest characteristics in loyalty
2019
Purpose This study aims to examine how technologies contribute to consumer loyalty in the tourist industry. To achieve this objective, information and communication technology (ICT) development and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) are analysed to explore their direct and indirect effects on satisfaction and loyalty dimensions. The moderating role of customer characteristics (personal and experience-related variables) is also considered to study the complex relationship between satisfaction and loyalty. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative study based on a questionnaire structured was developed. The survey was conducted with 386 guests from Spanish hotels. SEM methodology is applied to…
La libertà sindacale fa irruzione in caserma
2021
Il commento analizza la recente giurisprudenza di merito sulla repressione della condotta antisindacale nell'ordinamento militare, alla luce dei principi costituzionali e dell'ordinamento sovranazionale, e del recente disegno di legge sul sindacato militare. The current work deals with the recent labour court decisions on anti-unions behaviours in the military legal framework, on the grounds of constitutional and international principles, and the recent bill on military unions.
“Rationally Local”: Consumer Participation in Alternative Food Chains
2015
Why are consumers increasingly participating in alternative food chains to co-produce and distribute foods with farmers? In this paper, values and food-related lifestyles, as well as transaction costs and socio-demographics, are used to analyze consumer participation in alternative food chains in Italy. Using a simultaneous system of equations, a model with instrumental variables is implemented to measure the relationships between values and food-related lifestyles, and between the latter and participation in an alternative food chain. Our results show that Italian participants in alternative food chains have the profile of rational shoppers who typically look at price and taste criteria. A…
The mediating role of emotion regulation in transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapy for emotional disorders in primary care: Secondary analyses…
2022
Background: Emotional disorders are highly prevalent in primary care. Transdiagnostic cognitive behavior therapy (TD-CBT) is a promising treatment of emotional disorders. In this study, we evaluated several emotion regulation strategies as potential mediators of treatment outcomes in a clinical sample of primary care. Methods: A total of 1061 primary care patients were included in a randomized clinical trial comparing treatment- as-usual (TAU) to TD-CBT+TAU. Of these, 631 (TAU=316; TD-CBT+TAU=315) completed the full treatment and all pre- and post-treatment scales to assess symptoms (anxiety, depression, somatization), emotion regulation strategies (worry, rumination, negative metacognition…
Lipid phase transition in saccharide-coated cholate-containing liposomes: coupling to the surrounding matrix.
2005
We performed FTIR measurements on cholate-containing liposomes (CCL) embedded in saccharide (trehalose or sucrose) matrixes with different contents of residual water. We obtained information on the CCL phase transition following the thermal evolution (310-70 K) of the IR spectrum of the carbonyl moieties of phospholipids in the frequency range 4225-4550 cm(-1). Furthermore, we simultaneously followed the thermal evolution of the water association band, which gave information on the behavior of the surrounding water-saccharide matrix. The analysis revealed a small sub-band of the water association band present in CCL but not in cholate-free liposomes, the thermal evolution of which is tightl…
Análisis del comportamiento de la demanda de turismo rural desde la experiencia de la comarca El Alto Palancia
2004
This study is intended to delve into the tastes and preferences of tourists visiting rural areas in Spain as an alternative to the traditional sun and beach holiday that dominates Spanish tourism.

El Alto Palancia region, exhibit different behaviours depending on age, gender, incomes and educational background. The homogeneity of behaviour across several categories of tourists was tested in two sets of variables. First, «interest in certain resources associated with rural tourism», focused on natural and architectural resources that sustains the tourist's …
A cultural comparison study of smartphone adoption in Uzbekistan, South Korea and Turkey
2017
Smartphone popularity is increasing due to the technological advances that mean manufacturers can make more sophisticated devices, and telecommunication companies can provide better connections. Gartner reported that 403 million smartphones were sold in the fourth quarter of 2015, a 9.7% increase over the same period in 2014. It is a common perception that users tend to utilise advanced technology to increase productivity. However, there are studies indicating quite opposite or alternatively slow rates of adoption. To avoid this, companies invest in studying consumer behaviour. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of drivers and cultural differences on smartphone acceptance in…
