Usage of Facebook- and Anonymous Forum–Based Peer Support Groups Online and Their Influence on Perceived Social Support Types in Weight Loss

2016

This paper contributes to the discussion on health behavior change support systems by examining one of the persuasive software features, social support. The paper studies the influence of structural social support on functional social support types in the online environment. Specifically, the paper examines the frequency of using two different kinds of online social platforms (online forums and Facebook groups) that are used to facilitate peer social support in weight loss and their influence on perceived functional social support types (emotional, informational, and instrumental). The results show that frequent use of Facebook based support peer group facilitates perceived emotional, infor…

USING FORUM COLLABORATIVE SETTINGS FOR TRANSLATION OUTCOMES: A THREAT TO TRANSLATION PROFESSIONALS?

2018

Translation and transcreation can both be considered as practices carried out by professionals trained in the communication of languages, cultures and situational settings. However, a growing number of internet users resort to the Internet to equip themselves with language knowledge, exploiting the collaborative setting the Internet provides. Online collaboration is based on the new culture of openness and engagement, which is negotiated via interaction with the final aim of providing a possible good, and “professional-like”, translation. As stated by Guyon (2010, 33), coordination and discussion between participants are part and parcel of the translation process. Although fora have thoroug…

The Free Radical Theory of Aging Revisited: The Cell Signaling Disruption Theory of Aging

2013

AbstractSignificance: The free radical theory of aging has provided a theoretical framework for an enormous amount of work leading to significant advances in our understanding of aging. Up to the turn of the century, the theory received abundant support from observations coming from fields as far apart as comparative physiology or molecular biology. Recent Advances: Work from many laboratories supports the theory, for instance showing that overexpression of antioxidant enzymes results in increases in life-span. But other labs have shown that in some cases, there is an increased oxidative stress and increased longevity. The discovery that free radicals can not only cause molecular damage to …

Mitochondrial redox signaling: Interaction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species with other sources of oxidative stress.

2014

Significance: Oxidative stress is a well established hallmark of cardiovascular disease and there is strong evidence for a causal role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) therein. Recent Advances: Improvement of cardiovascular complications by genetic deletion of RONS producing enzymes and overexpression of RONS degrading enzymes proved the involvement of these species in cardiovascular disease at a molecular level. Vice versa, overexpression of RONS producing enzymes as well as deletion of antioxidant enzymes was demonstrated to aggravate cardiovascular complications. Critical Issues: With the present overview we present and discuss different pathways how mitochondrial RONS inte…

Aprendizaje cooperativo on-line a través de foros para la resolución de casos de psicopatología

2021

[EN] Human behaviour and its diversity make it very difficult to distinguish between the abnormal and the normal human behaviour and feelings. Through the subject of Psychopathology, students must acquire theoretical knowledge and apply it in practice to identify psychopathological symptoms and signs in clinical cases. The aim of this work is to present the results of the use of a forum as a cooperative learning space for the resolution of practical cases. The sample is composed of two groups (N1=51; N2=43, both in afternoon timetable) belonging to the subject of Psychopathology of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Valencia. The teaching material applied was the same except for…
