Detection of behavioural patterns in Olympic male taekwondo athletes
2017
The relationship between athletes’ behaviours is relevant for developing defensive and offensive strategies. Traditionally, sequential analysis has been conducted to assess relationships between two behaviours (one considered as focal and the other as conditioned). The aim of the study was to examine Olympic taekwondo athletes’ behavioural patterns by conducting sequential analyses of tactical actions in bouts. Seventy-five male matches of the London Olympic Games in 2012 were studied to analyse tactical actions: attack (direct and indirect), counterattack (anticipatory, simultaneous and posterior), defensive (cuts, blocks and dodges), and opening actions. A sequential analysis of 2 lags (i…
Spanish Validation of the Leader Empowering Behavior Questionnaire (LEBQ)
2019
The concept of empowering leadership has attracted widespread academic and practical interest and different questionnaires have been developed to measure it. However, there are no instruments to measure empowering leadership in the Spanish language. This article presents the translation, adaptation, and validation of a scale to measure this construct. In addition, it analyzes the relationship between managers’ empowering leadership and employees’ job satisfaction. In turn, the study analyzes whether employees who participate in a greater number of continuous improvement programs have supervisors who favor more empowering behaviors. A total of 739 participants with various occupations from d…
Do women directors behave more ethically than men directors of the audit committees with respect to the quality of the accounting information?
2018
In this analysis, we aim at investigating how audit committees (ACs) gender diversity impacts on the quality of financial information, calculated with the opinion that external auditors give firms in the audit report. We hypothesize that there is a negative relation between gender diversity on ACs and the likelihood of receiving a qualification with errors, non-compliance and the omission of information, and a positive association between gender diversity on ACs and the probability of disclosing qualifications with uncertainties. The results show a negative association between the proportion of women directors on ACs, the proportion of institutional women directors on ACs and ACs chaired by…
The use of spiral CT in the detection and management of a permanent maxillary first molar with single root and single canal : a rare occurrence
2017
A sound knowledge of the normal tooth morphology and its numerous variations is essential to the success of endodontic therapy. While extra canals and lateral canals are routinely encountered and documented, there also exists the rare possibility of a fewer number of canals than normal. Early detection of such an occurrence is critical to the prevention of iatrogenic errors during endodontic treatment. The advent of spiral CT as a diagnostic tool serves as a much needed confirmation to understand the complex three dimensional anatomy of teeth. The aim of this case report is to highlight one such case reporting unusual morphology of the permanent maxillary first molar displaying single canal…
Non-surgical endodontics in retreatment of periapical lesions: two representative case reports
2012
This article reports non-surgical endodontic retreatment of two patients with persistent or recurrent periapical lesions, who had previously undergone surgical and non-surgical endodontic therapy respectively. It further discusses and reviews the relevance of classification of periapical lesions, the explanation behind healing of periapical lesions by endodontic therapy alone, causes of persistence of periapical lesions, choice of treatment modalities (whether surgical or non – surgical) and materials such as intracanal medicaments and irrigants for optimal healing. Key words:Non-surgical, retreatment, periapical, calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine irrigation.

Self-efficacy and performance of the roundhouse kick in taekwondo
2014
[ES] El desarrollo de escalas de autoeficacia permite el análisis de las percepciones de los deportistas y el examen de la relación entre dichas percepciones y el rendimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue (1) desarrollar una escala específica de autoeficacia para una tarea de taekwondo, la patada circular, y (2) analizar el rendimiento deportivo y su relación con los resultados de dos escalas de autoeficacia (específica y general) en función del género de los deportistas. En el estudio participaron 43 taekwondistas (33 hombres y 10 mujeres). Se administraron las escalas de autoeficacia Física (PSE) y Específica (RKSES). Los datos de rendimiento (fuerza de impacto y tiempo total de respue…
