The Promise and Deception of Participation in Welfare Services for Unemployed Young People
2018
This study examined the role of welfare services in the participative citizenship of young people under 30 years of age outside the labour market. Thematic content analysis of the government’s white papers regarding participation policies, as well as participatory action research projects in two Finnish towns, were used to identify factors that enable or hinder participation for this group of service users. The paradigm of participation was critically examined with reference to the theoretical framework of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno’s “dialectic of Enlightenment”, which proposes the parallel existence of the promise and the deception of Enlightenment. The results indicated that user …
Exploring dark creativity: the role of power in an unethical marketing task
2020
Creativity is seen as a significant driver for successful marketing activities. However, little attention is paid to its shady side and little research on the prerequisites for unethical behaviour of marketing experts and executives is on hand. In our experimental study, we examine the mutual influence of power, honesty-humility, and benevolent creativity as predictors for ‘dark creativity’ (the use of creative ideas for malevolent actions). Participants (N = 387) were randomly assigned to a high vs. low power condition (role of marketing director vs. marketing intern). Dark creativity was correlated to benevolent creativity, power motive, and honesty-humility, but did not depend on the pow…
Outcome Analysis From a Multicenter Registry on Unibody Stent-Graft System for the Treatment of Spontaneous Infrarenal Acute Aortic Syndrome (MURUSSI…
2022
Purpose: This study reports the outcomes from a Multicenter Registry on unibody stent-graft system for the treatment of spontaneous infrarenal acute aortic syndrome (MURUSSIAS registry). Materials and methods: The retrospective MURUSSIAS registry included spontaneous infrarenal acute aortic dissection (IAAS) managed with the unibody stent-graft system (AFX endovascular AAA system; Endologix Inc., Irvine, California) outside the current instruction for use. IAAS considered aortic dissection (AD), intramural hematoma (IMH), and penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU). Indications to IAAS treatment were symptoms, associated dilated abdominal aorta (>3 cm), rapidly-growing (>0.5 cm/6 months) aorta…
Elementos ideológicos en las unidades fraseológicas con la palabra mujer en el Diccionario académico en los siglos XVIII y XIX
2017
This paper explores ideological elements regarding gender in phraseological units with the word mujer(‘woman’) in the different editions of the dictionarypublished by Real Academia Española during the 18th and the 19th centuries. First, the ideological content in the phraseological units themselves is analyzed. Second, phenomena related to subjectivity in the definitions are analyzed: this evidences subjectivity not only in the different phraseological units presented in the dictionary, but also in the discourse of the academics. In order to approach the first issue, a typology of the different phraseological units according to their syntactic-semantic properties is provided: this categoriz…
Características de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacidad de la Universitat de València
2015
En la actualidad, la actividad físico-deportiva es fundamental para las personas con discapacidad debido a los múltiples beneficios físicos, psicológicos y sociales que aporta (Patel y Greydanus, 2010; Slater y Meade, 2004). Estudiar las características de la práctica físico-deportiva de este colectivo puede ser útil para poder desarrollar estrategias y programas que mejoren y aumenten dicha práctica (Bragaru,van Wilgen, Geertzen, Ruijs, Dijsktra y Dekker, 2013). Pese a ello, apenas existen estudios de carácter cuantitativo sobre el tema. De acuerdo con las carencias señaladas, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar la cuantía de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacida…

The Hydrothermal System of the Campi Flegrei Caldera, Italy
2022
In this chapter, we review the state-of-the-art of the Campi Flegrei caldera (Naples) hydrothermal system, and its behaviour during the last decades. The Campi Flegrei caldera has been undergoing unrest since 1950, as evidenced by recurrent bradyseismic episodes accompanied by manifest changes in the degassing budget, degassing patterns and in the composition of the fumarolic fluids. In-depth analysis of geochemical and geophysical datasets acquired over decades has allowed identification of the mechanisms driving volcanic unrest at the Campi Flegrei caldera. We propose a conceptual model of the hydrothermal system feeding Solfatara fumaroles, where geochemical information is integrated wit…
Istota funduszu stabilizacyjnego w kontekście problemu dopuszczalności zwrotu wpłat na rzecz syndyka upadłej spółdzielczej kasy oszczędnościowo-kredy…
2021
W dwuczęściowym opracowaniu analizowany jest problem dopuszczalności żądania przez syndyka upadłej spółdzielczej kasy oszczędnościowo-kredytowej zwrotu wpłat wniesionych na fundusz stabilizacyjny. Nie jest to tylko zagadnienie istnienia bądź jego braku roszczenia cywilnoprawnego po stronie syndyka. Rzeczywistą istotą przedstawionego dylematu jest pytanie o dopuszczalność ograniczenia ustawowego atrybutu Krajowej Spółdzielczej Kasy Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowej wykonywanego w interesie publicznym. Fundusz stabilizacyjny odgrywa bowiem szczególną rolę w całym systemie finansowym. Istotą działania kasy jest idea samopomocy finansowej, polegająca na wzajemnym kredytowaniu się członków kasy ze zgro…
Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis
2021
Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…
Alteration-Induced Volcano Instability at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern Caribbean)
2021
International audience; Volcanoes are unstable structures that deform laterally and frequently experience mass wasting events. Hydrothermal alteration is often invoked as a mechanism that contributes significantly to volcano instability. We present a study that combines laboratory experiments, geophysical data, and large-scale numerical modeling to better understand the influence of alteration on volcano stability, using La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern Caribbean) as a case study. Laboratory experiments on variably altered (advanced argillic alteration) blocks show that uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, and cohesion decrease as a function of increasing alteration, but that …
