A time estimation task as a possible measure of emotions: difference depending on the nature of the stimulus used

2015

Objective: Time perception is fundamental for human experience. A topic which has attracted the attention of researchers for long time is how the stimulus sensory modality (e.g., images vs. sounds) affects time judgments. However, so far, no study has directly compared the effect of two sensory modalities using emotional stimuli on time judgments. Methods: In the present two studies, healthy participants were asked to estimate the duration of a pure sound preceded by the presentation of odors vs. emotional videos as priming stimuli (implicit emotion-eliciting task). During the task, skin conductance (SC) was measured as an index of arousal. Results: Olfactory stimuli resulted in an increase…

Spaces of transit intermodality in Manila, Philippines

2013

International audience; Public transportation in the Philippines' capital Manila takes different forms : elevated subway (LRT and MRT systems) and ground transportation (provincial and local buses, jeepneys, trisikel and pedicabs, taxis). This presentation, based on field work in February, April and December 2012, will examine the characteristics of transfer/connecting areas between different modes of transportation (such as LRT to jeepneys, LRT to MRT, ...) in several locations of the Manila metropolitan area, in order to determine some of the problems making transfer difficult, but also the commercial activity generated by heavy pedestrian and passenger traffic in and around the transit c…

The effect of writing modality on recollection in children and adolescents

2019

We set out to assess the extent to which writing modality affects recollection in children and adolescents. We examined 10- to 11-year-old children’s (N = 63) and 16-year-old adolescents’ (N = 43) handwriting, keyboarding with a laptop computer and keyboarding with a touchscreen tablet computer or mobile phone in a within-subjects experimental design. Participants were instructed to write down stories dictated to them in the three writing modalities. Recollection of the stories was assessed using free recall of details in the stories. The results indicate that the writing modality affects recollection, handwriting leading to better recollection. However, currently, digital writing tools are…

Reklāma ir spēcīgs saziņas rīks, kas pārliecina patērētāju iegādāties produktu vai pakalpojumu, kā arī maina patērētāja viedokli par to. Pārliecināšanas metodes ir dažādas, un to izvēle ir reklāmdevēju rokās. Viena no tām ir modālo darbības vārdu un vārdkopu lietošana tekstos, ar kuru palīdzību var tikt izteiktas emocijas un attieksme dažādās situācijās. Šo izpēti ietekmēja teorētiskais pamatojums, kā arī iepriekšējās izpētes. Darba izstrādē tika izmantota teorijas summatīvā analīze, kā arī diskursa analīze kā empīriskā metode. Darba mērķis bija analizēt modālos darbības vārdus un vārdkopas, kas tiek izmantotas skaistumkopšanas produktu reklāmās. Rezultāti liecina, ka visbiežāk izmantotais …

La construcción de las identidades de la mujer contemporánea en la revista Cosmpolitan. Una aproximación multimodal de las ediciones de EEUU y España

2018

La presente tesis doctoral está centrada en el análisis de las identidades de la mujer contemporánea representadas en el discurso de las ediciones española y estadounidense de la revista Cosmopolitan. Esta investigación permite reflexionar sobre el concepto de identidad (Bauman, 2005, Lipovetsky, 2016), principalmente la identidad de la mujer en los contextos socioculturales de España y Estados Unidos (Butler, 1990; Giddens, 1995; Hinojosa, 2005). A través de dicha reflexión, también observamos los efectos de las formas de representación de los discursos mediáticos, dirigidos a la mujer, en la creación de significados y creencias compartidas en las comunidades de práctica dentro de la socie…

2007

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of good clinical response and remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with longstanding disease treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) drugs at outpatient clinics. METHODS: Retrospective national study of 14 academic tertiary referral rheumatology medical centers. RA patients with a Disease Activity Score (DAS28) > 3.2 were defined as having active disease and could start TNF-alpha blockers. All patients received one TNF-alpha blocker plus methotrexate (10-20 mg/wk). At the third month the patients were categorized as responders or nonresponders, based on improvement of at least 0.25 of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).…
