El teatre català del segle XIX i la realitat catalana de l'època
2011
El meu propòsit en escriure aquest article era plantejar com el teatre català del segle xix configurava un model de realitat fruit de les complexes relacions entre les necessitats d’un auditori sociològicament delimitat i la voluntat d’alguns autors com Frederic Soler d’articular una imatge del país en què aquestes classes es veiessin representades. Al llarg del segle, doncs, l’horitzó d’expectatives de pÚblic Català s’anà configurant a través d’una oferta que responia a una demanda més o menys explícita d’obres que servissin per a les funcions cohesionadores del grup social majoritari a les platees del país: les classes menestrals. Si els autors acabaven definint un sistema simbòlic que po…
“Waiting for the Bass to Drop”: Correlations Between Intense Emotional Experiences and Production Techniques in Build-up and Drop Sections of Electro…
2014
This study investigates the correlations between theories of intense emotional experiences and production techniques used in the electronic dance music (EDM) sections “build-up” and “drop”, which are designed to build tension and create a heightened emotional intensity among clubbers. This is done by descriptive and interpretive music analysis, where spectrograms and a schematic model visually represent the dominant production techniques. Through a theoretical framework consisting of musical expectancy and gravity, the analysis suggests that i) extensive use of uplifters, ii) the “drum roll effect”, iii) large frequency changes, iv) removal and reintroduction of bass and bass drum and v) a …
Exploring the Relationship Between the Acceptability of an InternetBased Intervention for Depression in Primary Care and Clinical Outcomes: Secondary…
2019
Background: Depression is one of the most prevalent psychological disorders worldwide. Although psychotherapy for depression is effective, there are barriers to its implementation in primary care in Spain. The use of the Internet has been shown to be a feasible solution. However, the acceptability of Internet-based interventions has not been studied sufficiently. Objective: To assess the acceptability of an Internet-based intervention (IBI) for depression in primary care, and explore the relationship between expectations and satisfaction and the improvement in the clinical variables in primary care patients receiving this intervention. Furthermore, it offers data about the effects of some s…

Impact of Mediterranean Diet on Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Longevity
2021
The average life expectancy of the world population has increased remarkably in the past 150 years and it is still increasing. A long life is a dream of humans since the beginning of time but also a dream is to live it in good physical and mental condition. Nutrition research has focused on recent decades more on food combination patterns than on individual foods/nutrients due to the possible synergistic/antagonistic effects of the components in a dietary model. Various dietary patterns have been associated with health benefits, but the largest body of evidence in the literature is attributable to the traditional dietary habits and lifestyle followed by populations from the Mediterranean re…
Examination of Goal Orientation, Sense of Coherence, and Motivational Climate as predictors of Perceived Physical Competence
2010
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the extent to which children's goal orientation, sense of coherence (SOC), and perceptions of the motivational climate in PE accounted for their perceived physical competence. The variable measures were conducted with the participants (382 boys, 389 girls), aged 15-16, who completed a set of self-reported questionnaires. The hierarchical multiple-regression results showed that all steps lead to significant change in the models and accounted for 20.2 % of the variance in perceived physical competence. More specifically, the inclusion of task and ego orientation resulted in an additional 11.4 % of explained variance and the inclusion of SOC …
Developments in the evolutionary theory of social interactions
2016
Altruistic behaviour, which benefits others but harms the actor, can evolve when copies of the underlying genes are transmitted to future generations by related beneficiaries. While we know that the mechanism of ‘kin selection’ answers to how altruism can evolve, the answers to why and when it can evolve are still obscure. The first aim of this thesis is to shed light to the evolution of altruism by identifying factors that facilitate or promote it. I find that the conditions under which altruism can evolve follow surprisingly simple principles that are independent of the taxon-specific traits such as fecundity. Further, by analysing the unique aspects of haplodiploid sex determination syst…
La atención a la salud materno-infantil en el área de salud de La Ribera (Valencia) desde la perspectiva de las gestantes y las matronas: aproximacio…
2020
Justificación e introducción La atención al parto experimentó profundos cambios durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX con la introducción del parto en el ámbito hospitalario. Como reacción a ello surge el movimiento del parto normal, que pretende humanizar la asistencia al parto que se presta dentro de los hospitales. En cada hospital este proceso se ha desarrollado en diferente tiempo y forma. En el caso del Hospital Universitario de La Ribera (Alzira, Valencia), la introducción de los protocolos de atención al parto normal se produce de forma progresiva entre los años 2011 y 2014. En ese momento, surge la necesidad de explorar la acogida de estos cambios entre las gestantes del área de sa…
How Relevant Are Risk Perceptions, Effort, and Performance Expectancy in Mobile Banking Adoption?
2018
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the adoption process using evidence from m-banking adoption in Pakistan. A survey design was used and 189 responses were received from across Pakistan and analyzed using Smart PLS application. Findings suggest that research on the effect of risk in the adoption process remains inconclusive. Contrarily, consumers have overcome many fears due to the usefulness, indispensability, high security features, and effort expended in the use of financial services delivered through m-banking. Perceived risk's (PR) direct influence was found to be generally weak. However, PR plays a major role in the pre-adoption process because it's weak and direct inhi…
