It's Sad but I Like It The Neural Dissociation Between Musical Emotions and Liking in Experts and Laypersons
2016
Emotion-related areas of the brain, such as the medial frontal cortices, amygdala, and striatum, are activated during listening to sad or happy music as well as during listening to pleasurable music. Indeed, in music, like in other arts, sad and happy emotions might co-exist and be distinct from emotions of pleasure or enjoyment. Here we aimed at discerning the neural correlates of sadness or happiness in music as opposed those related to musical enjoyment. We further investigated whether musical expertise modulates the neural activity during affective listening of music. To these aims, 13 musicians and 16 non-musicians brought to the lab their most liked and disliked musical pieces with a …
Līdzjūtības pret sevi un prosociālas uzvedības saistība un dzimumu atšķirības
2018
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp līdzjūtību pret sevi un prosociālu uzvedību, un pārbaudīt dzimumu atšķirības katrā no šiem konstruktiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 115 respondenti vecumā no 18 līdz 30 gadiem, kuri veidoja 2 grupas – vīriešus un sievietes. Viņi internetā vai klātienē aizpildīja anketu, kas sastāvēja no Iejūtības pret sevi skalas un Prosociālo tendenču aptaujas, kā arī jautājumiem demogrāfisko datu ievākšanai. Rezultāti atklāj statistiski nozīmīgu negatīvu saistību starp līdzjūtību pret sevi un emocionālu prosociālu uzvedību. Pētījuma izlasē vīriešiem bija augstāks līdzjūtības pret sevi līmenis nekā sievietēm, savukārt sievietes vairāk nekā vīrieši norādīj…
Religiosity and meditation practice : Exploring their explanatory power on psychological adjustment
2019
There has been increased interest in the relationships between religiosity, meditation practice and well-being, but there is lack of understanding as to how specific religious components and distinct meditation practices could influence different positive and negative psychological adjustment outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the explanatory power of religious beliefs and the practice of prayer, focused attention (FA), open monitoring (OM), and compassion meditation (CM) on psychological adjustment, taking into consideration a number of practice-related variables such as session length, frequency of practice and lifetime practice. Psychological adjustment was assessed by means o…
Cyberbullying and Empathy in the Age of Hyperconnection: An Interdisciplinary Approach
2020
Considering cyberbullying as a challenging frontier of analysis in the social sciences, we find ourselves today with the duty to analyze it within a much broader social context. Indeed, we must take into account the logic of exclusion, as a fact. Today, in the logic of how the Internet works, a thin line separates the victim from the perpetrator; this is also due to the Internet we know today, made up of a mass and a headless power. Trying to amplify this dichotomy, we can say that today we live in the era of the so-called “ban-opticon” (or the logic of prohibition). This logic ranges from simply removing Facebook friends from the list, to excluding sources of knowledge. This article has fo…

Compassionate Use of the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System for Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation
2019
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this observational first-in-human experience was to investigate the feasibility and safety of the PASCAL transcatheter valve repair system and its impact on short-term clinical outcomes in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Background Transcatheter repair of severe TR is a promising treatment option for patients at prohibitive surgical risk. Large leaflet coaptation gaps and tethering represent common features that challenge the application of transcatheter repair techniques. Methods Twenty-eight patients with severe TR were treated with the PASCAL system in a compassionate use experience at 6 sites. All patients had heart failure due to se…
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on ICU Healthcare Professionals: A Mixed Methods Study

The large numbers of patients admitted to intensive care units due to COVID-19 has had a major impact on healthcare professionals. The incidence of mental health disorders among these professionals has increased considerably and their professional quality of life has suffered during the pandemic. This study aims to explore the impact of the provision of COVID-19 patient care on ICU healthcare professionals. A mixed methods study with an exploratory concurrent design was conducted between June and November 2020 in the Balearic Islands, Spain. Data were collected using a self-report online survey (n = 122) based on three validated questionnaires, and individual semi-structured in-depth online…
Efectos de un programa de intervención mindfulness y compasión en personas mayores con insomnio
2020
Mindfulness se ha aplicado en varias adaptaciones para mejorar el insomnio en los ancianos. Los beneficios han sido comprobados en la edad adulta y estudios recientes señalan los beneficios de la atención plena para tratar el insomnio en adultos mayores. Los mayores pueden ser sujetos adecuados para intervenciones de atención plena después de décadas de experiencia contemplativa. De hecho, hay varias razones para creer que un programa de atención plena y compasión podría ser una excelente opción para tratar el insomnio en los ancianos, por ejemplo, el bajo costo de la intervención, los beneficios a largo plazo o los beneficios económicos de un tratamiento no farmacológico. Por tanto, esta t…
Erradicando la xenofobia y la aporofobia desde la compasión ética como capacidad clave de la neuroeducación moral
2021
Drawing on the contributions of some of the most recent and relevant studies on neuroethics and moral neuroeducation, this paper undertakes an analysis of compassion. In order to focus on the results of this neuroscientific research a reductionist naturalist framework is set aside in order to embrace the broader outlook of a moral neuroeducation that, firstly, refuses to reduce its normative character to the human capacity for evolutionary adaptation; and, secondly, seeks to locate within the brain the neuronal foundations for the development of a capacity for compassion towards those of one’s own community, and also those from outside it. Thereby, this capacity for compassion moves beyond …
