“Women easily feel that they have lost a year if they don’t ski faster” : Finnish ski coaches’ discursive constructions of gendered dual career pathw…
2023
Objectives Earlier qualitative researchers studying athletes’ dual careers (DCs) have shown that sociocultural discourses on gender are ingrained in DC policies and practices, creating gender inequalities and hierarchies. In this study, we aimed to extend this body of research by examining how Finnish elite youth ski coaches discursively construct athletes’ education and gender in their talk and coaching practices. Similarly, we examined how coaches’ beliefs about athletes' holistic development are interlinked with broader sociocultural discourses on gender. Design Qualitative study. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 Finnish ski coaches (seven male, three female) aged …
Reasoned and implicit processes in heavy episodic drinking : An integrated dual‐process model
2020
Objectives: University students commonly engage in heavy episodic drinking (HED), which contributes to injury risk, deleterious educational outcomes, and economic costs. Identification of the determinants of this risky behaviour may provide formative evidence on which to base effective interventions to curb HED in this population. Drawing from theories of social cognition and dual‐process models, this study tested key hypotheses relating to reasoned and implicit pathways to action for HED in a sample of Australian university students who drink alcohol. Design: A two‐wave correlational design was adopted. Methods: Students (N = 204) completed self‐reported constructs from social cognition th…
Photoactivity and Chemical Reactivity in Titanium(IV)-Organic Frameworks
2020
La presente tesis doctoral ha sido realizada como compendio de publicaciones y lleva por título “Fotoactividad y reactividad química en redes metal-orgánicas de titanio(IV)” (Photoactivity and Chemical Reactivity in Titanium(IV)-Organic Frameworks). La tesis se encuentra dividida en cinco capítulos además de un capítulo final de conclusiones y un resumen en castellano. El primer capítulo trata de una introducción acerca de las redes metal-orgánicas (del inglés Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs) de titanio(IV) existentes hasta la fecha para dar una visión general de su variedad estructural, así como de las estrategias sintéticas empleadas y las propiedades fotocatalíticas de estos materiales. E…
El compromiso con la sustentabilidad en el activismo ecologista
2021
En este artículo se exponen los principales resultados de un estudio exploratorio del compromiso con la sostenibilidad de los activistas ecologistas. El análisis de las narrativas de los participantes, obtenidas a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas de 7 activistas ecologistas muestra como su compromiso con la sostenibilidad se corresponde con el desarrollo de un enfoque ecosocial de la sostenibilidad que se descompone en un factor ambiental y un factor social que interrelacionan entre sí. También se relaciona con una identidad ambiental de conexión con la naturaleza; una pluralidad de identidades individuales como agentes de cambio y roles sociales (activistas, conservacionistas, cons…
The common sense model of illness self-regulation : a conceptual review and proposed extended model
2021
The common sense model of illness self-regulation outlines the dynamic processes by which individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to health threats and illness-related information. An extended version of the model is proposed, which specifies additional constructs and processes to explain how lay perceptions of health threats impact coping responses and health-related outcomes. The extended model provides detail on: (a) the mediating process by which individuals’ illness representations relate to illness outcomes through adoption of coping procedures; (b) how illness representations are activated by presentation of health-threatening stimuli; (c) behavioral and treatment beliefs as det…

The role of maternal effects in host-parasite interactions: examination of the development of the immune defense in a colonial seabird, the black-leg…
2004
One of the main aims of evolutionary biology is to understand the mechanisms responsible for the phenotypic variation on which natural selection can act. Maternal effects occur when a mother's phenotype or her environment influence her offspring's phenotype. Despite the importance of such effects for the ecology of host-parasite interactions, their role has been relatively neglected to date. In this thesis, we examined how mothers influence the immune defense of their young in an environment that varies in space and time. This work has primarily focused on a colonial seabird, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla). Using this model, we have first shown that specific maternal antibodi…
La impugnación del despido colectivo
2022
El eje central de este estudio consiste en analizar la regulación normativa de la modalidad procesal de impugnación del despido colectivo, así como las principales dudas interpretativas que su aplicación genera. Con ello, se pretende, determinar si el legislador ha logrado el objetivo perseguido por la reforma del régimen jurídico del despido colectivo, a saber, una mayor seguridad jurídica, una menor ralentización del procedimiento, y, en consecuencia, la tan pretendida celeridad proclamada por la reforma y la concreción de la causa, y, por ende, una menor judicialización respecto de esta. Pues bien, en el capítulo primero, como paso previo necesario para conocer los elementos de la config…

Broad-band Spectral Evolution of Scorpius X-1 along its Color-Color Diagram
2007
We analyze a large collection of RXTE archive data from April 1997 to August 2003 of the bright X-ray source Scorpius X-1 in order to study the broadband spectral evolution of the source for different values of the inferred mass accretion rate by studying energy spectra from selected regions in the Z-track of its Color-Color Diagram. A two-component model, consisting of a soft thermal component interpreted as thermal emission from an accretion disk and a thermal Comptonization component, is unable to fit the whole 3--200 keV energy spectrum at low accretion rates. Strong residuals in the highest energy band of the spectrum require the addition of a third component that can be fitted with a …
