Access-Awareness-Agency (AAA) Model of Music-Based Social-Emotional Competence (MuSEC)
2019
Social–emotional competence (SEC) is a set of psychological resources, highly relevant for adaptive growth and wellbeing. Music has been argued to support social–emotional skills, yet there is little theoretical consensus about the underlying impact mechanisms and the special nature of music as a medium for SEC. This article presents a theoretical model of music-based SEC that combines research from general SEC models with music-specific literature from music psychology, music education, music therapy, and music for health and wellbeing. The proposed access-awareness-agency (AAA) model defines music-based social–emotional competence (MuSEC) as interplay of embodied access, reflective awaren…
CANCER SURVIVORSHIP: THE NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE CARE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSUMING AN ACTIVE ROLE
2019
Advances in the early detection and treatment of cancer have led to an increase in the number of people who have overcome the disease, reaching 5% of the current population in our country. As indicated by the Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica [Spanish Society of Medical Oncology], this situation involves new challenges that require, among other things, the identification of and attention to the quality of life and the psychosocial needs of this growing population. The objective of this article is to reflect on the importance of comprehensive, specialized, and multidisciplinary care, in which the survivor has a more active participation. However, previously, the debate on the concept of …
The relationship between trait procrastination, Internet use, and psychological functioning : results from a community sample of German adolescents
2018
Adolescents with a strong tendency for irrational task delay (i.e., high trait procrastination) may be particularly prone to use Internet applications simultaneously to other tasks (e.g., during homework) and in an insufficiently controlled fashion. Both Internet multitasking and insufficiently controlled Internet usage may thus amplify the negative mental health implications that have frequently been associated with trait procrastination. The present study explored this role of Internet multitasking and insufficiently controlled Internet use for the relationship between trait procrastination and impaired psychological functioning in a community sample of N = 818 early and middle adolescent…
Synthesis of 6,12-Disubstituted Methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins : Pyrrolidine Catalyzed Self-Condensation of 2′-Hydroxyacetophenones
2019
The preparation of unprecedented 6,12-disubstituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins from pyrrolidine catalyzed self-condensation of 2′-hydroxyacetophenones is herein described. This method provides easy access to this highly bridged complex core, resulting in construction of two C–O and two C–C bonds, a methylene bridge and two quaternary centers in a single step. The intricate methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin compounds were obtained in up to moderate yields after optimization of the reaction conditions concerning solvent, reaction times and the use of additives. Several halide substituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins could be prepared from correspondent 2′-hydroxyacetophenones.
ANALYSIS OF THE RADIO-OPACITY OF A SELF-ETCH ADHESIVE
2012
Introduction. At present, self-etch adhesive systems are employed on large scale in the offices of dental medicine due to their simple application technique. Their radioopacity is important for the identification of this material in paraclinical examinations. Scope. The study describes a technique of radioopacity analysis on a self-etching type adhesive material. Materials and method. Class V cavities have been made on the teeth extracted from orthodontic causes. The dental adhesive was applied on the surface of the cavities, followed by their obturation with a composite material. The teeth were sliced, radiographed, the resulting digital images being analyzed with a specialized software. R…
Predicción de la reincidencia con delincuentes juveniles: un estudio longitudinal
2016
espanolEl presente trabajo tiene como finalidad determinar la utilidad de una escala en la prediccion de la reincidencia de los delincuentes juveniles. Se realizo un estudio longitudinal con una muestra de 258 delincuentes juveniles que se hallaban cumpliendo una medida judicial. El instrumento que evaluo la prediccion de la reincidencia fue el Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory, cuyo resultado de su adaptacion al castellano es el Inventario de Gestion en Intervencion para Jovenes (IGI-J). Los jovenes delincuentes reincidentes y no reincidentes puntuaron de la forma esperada en los valores obtenidos en la prueba. No obstante, los resultados indican que el IGI-J identifica a to…
On the Prevalence of Addicted or Problematic Gaming in Finland
2019
Highlights • A dataset from Finland in 2015 (systematic random sampling N = 4511) suggests an (unweighted) prevalence rate of certain “addicted gaming” (videogame play) to be 0.6% among local gamers and 0.03% among the whole population. • The implied prevalence of certain “problematic gaming” (videogame play) climbs to 1.4% among local gamers and 0.6% among the whole population. • Of those “addicted” individuals to whom videogame play was a problem “almost always,” eight reported their hours of play during a week (72, 30, 10, 7, 4, 1, 1, 1), which indicate that “addicted gaming,” if understood as excessive play, might not be optimal for describing such problems.

2016
Los países occidentales han experimentado en las cuatro últimas décadas una inclinación hacia modelos de justicia más reactivos, punitivos o retribucionistas (Garland, 2005; Giménez y Alba, 2014). Ha sido especialmente dentro del ámbito anglosajón (Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña) donde esta nueva cultura del delito ha sido más destacable (Ashworth, 2005; Fernández-Molina, 2008). Europa, sin embargo, ha sabido resistirse a esta tendencia punitiva, intentando mantener un precario equilibrio entre los modelos propiamente retribucionistas y las políticas de bienestar. Por su parte, en Latinoamérica, en un intento por suavizar esta corriente punitiva, en la última década se ha evolucionado hacia …
Antimafia e movimenti delle donne. Protagoniste, culture, linguaggi
2016
Il saggio analizza il ruolo giocato dalle donne nei movimenti antimafia a partire dalla loro presenza –cospicua e importante – all’interno dei Fasci dei lavoratori in Sicilia alla fine dell’800 fino alle esperienze del Comitato dei Lenzuoli e dell’Associazione donne per il digiuno nate a Palermo all’indomani delle stragi di Capaci e di via D’Amelio, in cui le figure femminili hanno svolto un ruolo di primo piano sperimentando forme espressive e di mobilitazione civile alternative ed efficaci. L’approccio scelto per l’analisi incrocia gli studi sulla mafia come sistema di potere violento e totalitario con la relazione tra i sessi, intesa come scontro di poteri, in cui svolge un peso determin…
The ECHR Condemns Prison Overcrowding in Italy: The Total Reorganization of the Institution and the Social Reintegration of the Prisoner
2017
The contribution analyses the current Italian prison system, which has been called upon on to resolve its structural problems. The Council of Europe, in fact, in 2013 condemned Italy for inhuman treatment in its prisons. The principal accusation concerns the problem of overcrowding. The country has responded with solutions such as the application of the open system, which provides cells solely for overnight stays, and dynamic monitoring, an effective system for ensuring order in the institutions. These initiatives aim to promote re-educational activities and the social re-integration of prisoners. In addition, Italian institutions have made greater use of alternatives to custodial penalties…
