I’m Not Good for Anything and That’s Why I’m Stressed: Analysis of the Effect of Self-Efficacy and Emotional Intelligence on Student Stress Using SEM…
2020
Stress negatively affects the well-being and the quality of life of the society. Specifically in the academic context, it is relevant to analyze its levels due to its impact on performance and learning. There are factors that affect the said stress including, among others, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence. The purpose of this study is to analyze how emotional intelligence and perceived self-efficacy affect student stress. In order to show this influence, two complementary methodologies are implemented: the structural equation models (SEMs) and the comparative qualitative analysis (QCA). A total of 477 students (85% of women) from a private University of Valencia participated in the…

Crime, terrorism or nightmare : news representations of the 2011 Norway attacks
2014
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää vuoden 2011 Norjan terrori-iskun ja sen tekijän Anders Breivikin representaatioita välittömästi iskun jälkeen kahdessa sanomalehdessä, The Daily Telegraph ja The New York Times. Erityisesti keskityn siihen, esitetäänkö iskut terrorismina, rikoksena vai jotenkin muutoin, sekä tekeekö media kytköksiä aiempiin samankaltaisiin tapauksiin ja onko lehtien välillä eroja esitystavassa. Norjan terrori-isku on taustoiltaan ja tapahtumaympäristöltään uniikki, joten vastaavaa tutkimusta ei ole aiemmin tehty. Representaatioita tutkitaan Fairclough’n kriittisen diskurssianalyysin keinoin ja tukeutuen soveltuvin osin aiempiin löydöksiin mediatutkimuksen alalta. Repres…

Effect of consumers’ origin on perceived sensory quality, liking and liking drivers: A cross-cultural study on European cheeses
2021
Abstract We aim at studying consumers’ Perceived Sensory Quality (PSQ) concept. We manipulated a priori both familiarity (contrast local vs. foreign cheeses) and quality level (contrast PDO or traditional cheeses vs. their non-PDO and/or industrial counterpart). The study was run in four European countries. Thus, eight cheeses (one PDO or traditional cheese and one non-PDO cheese from each of the four European countries) were assessed by a total of 438 consumers (from 100 to 120 consumers from each region) in terms of PSQ and liking. The cheeses were also described by a trained panel. PSQ depended on both consumers’ and cheeses’ origin. The main finding is that in the three countries with P…
Perceived differences between natural and convolution reverberation types in 5.0 surround sound
2011
This Graduate Thesis investigates the perceived differences between natural and convolution reverberation in surround sound. Two spaces with distinct reverberation times were used for this study. Initially three musical excerpts from three instruments (Cello, Oboe, and Piano) were recorded in a dry studio environment. Then the Impulse Response (IR) of the spaces was captured using two methods: balloon burst and sine sweep. The dry excerpts were then recorded in the spaces to capture the natural reverberation pattern while the IRs were convolved with them to create the artificial reverberation excerpts. A listening test was then conducted using six perceptual scales to rate these 18 excerpts…
On Lying: A Conceptual Argument for the Falsity Condition
2013
In this paper, we put forward a conceptual argument for the Falsity Condition for lying, upon the assumption that lying is a form of deception. We argue that if the definition of lying did not include the Falsity Condition, then successful lying would not secure that the addressee ends up believing a falsehood (about what the lie is about), which is necessary for deceiving, and then successful lying (as such) would not necessarily be a form of deception.
