Is a female physical empowerment campaign effective in improving positive body image, motivation for physical activity, and physical activity behavio…
2022
This Girl Can is a campaign designed to empower women to increase physical activity. The campaign uses images/videos of women of diverse body weights/shapes, ages and ethnicities being physically active, emphasizing body functionality. First, we examined the effects of multi-session (N = 3) exposures to This Girl Can on body functionality, body appreciation and self-compassion (Study 1). Second, we explored if autonomous motivation for physical activity mediated effects of This Girl Can on physical activity (Study 2). Women (Study 1: N = 186, M (SD) age = 27.55 (14.01); Study 2: N = 153, M (SD) age = 28.31 (11.70)) were randomized to This Girl Can, or control videos/images depicting idealiz…
Does self‐compassion help to deal with dietary lapses among overweight and obese adults who pursue weight‐loss goals?
2021
Objectives Self-compassion can facilitate self-improvement motivation. We examined the effects of self-compassion in response to dietary lapses on outcomes relevant to weight-loss strivings using a longitudinal design. The indirect effects of self-compassion via guilt and shame were also explored. Design An Ecological Momentary Assessment methodology was employed with a sample of adults who were overweight or obese attempting to lose weight via dietary restriction (N = 56; Mage = 34.88; SD = 13.93; MBMI = 32.50; SD = 6.88) and who responded to brief surveys sent to their mobile phones twice daily for two weeks. Methods Dietary temptations and lapses were assessed at each diary entry, and se…
Sombras en el Siglo de las Luces, monstruos, demonios y prodigios en la estampería popular del siglo XVIII
1993
LOS ESTUDIOS DE CONJUNTO DE LA ESTAMPA POPULAR SON ESCASOS EN ESPAÑA, ABUNDANDO MUCHO MAS, COMO OCURRE CON OTRAS AREAS CULTURALES, EN LOS ESTUDIOS DE LITERATURA O FOLKLORE. MUY INTERESANTES SON LAS ILUSTRACIONES IMPRESAS DE LA LLAMADA LITERATURA DE CORDEL, QUE ECLOSIONA EN EL SIGLO XVIII Y TIENE COMO CENTRO PRINCIPAL DE PRODUCCION LA CIUDAD DE VALENCIA. EN LAS XILOGRAFIAS DE LAS CABECERAS DE LOS ROMANCES DESFILAN MONSTRUOS, ANIMALES FANTASTICOS, SERES DEMONIACOS, VISIONES CELESTIALES Y TODA UNA SERIE DE IMAGENES SOMBRIAS DE RAICES BARROCAS E INCLUSO MEDIEVALES, QUE CONTRASTAN CON LOS GUSTOS RACIONALISTAS QUE DOMINABAN EN LA CULTURA OFICIAL (ABC/LAG).
Mindfulness y duelo: programa MADED, mindfulness para la aceptación del dolor, las emociones y el duelo
2020
Objective: to design a psychological intervention protocol for the accompaniment of pain and emotions in the grieving process based on attention and compassion. Method: mourners over 18 years of age, who have lost their family member at least 6 months ago, who are in phase 2 or 3 of the grieving process and who have no previous mental health problems, will be included. They will be evaluated after signing the informed consent, by means of: the Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Vitality Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and the Complicated Grief Inventory. Descriptive statistics, Cohen’s t-test f…
A network of magnetometers for multi-scale urban science and informatics
2018
The magnetic signature of an urban environment is investigated using a geographically distributed network of fluxgate magnetometers deployed in and around Berkeley, California. The system hardware and software are described and initial operations of the network are reported. The sensors measure vector magnetic fields at a 3960 Hz sample rate and are sensitive to 0.1 nT/Hz. Data from individual stations are synchronized to ±120 µs using global positioning system (GPS) and computer system clocks and automatically uploaded to a central server. We present the initial observations of the network and preliminary efforts to correlate sensors. A wavelet analysis is used to stud…
Biotecnologie applicate alla valorizzazione della “Pagnotta di Piana degli Albanesi”
2019
Il presente articolo riassume il progetto di valorizzazione della Pagnotta di Piana degli Albanesi attraverso lo sviluppo di un impasto acido ottenuto da batteri lattici selezionati dalle materie prime, al fine di legare la produzione al territorio e permettere di recuperare le note di tipicità. Le farine e le semole rappresentano dei veri e propri habitat microbici, la cui composizione può variare in funzione dell’area geografica e delle condizioni di conservazione. Trattandosi di materie prime che non possono essere trattate termicamente prima della trasformazione, esse trasferiscono i loro microrganismi al prodotto in lavorazione. Pertanto, qualora tali microorganismi esprimano proprietà…
Protective role of mindfulness, self-compassion and psychological flexibility on the burnout subtypes among psychology and nursing undergraduate stud…
2021
Abstract To explore the relationship between mindfulness, self-compassion and psychological flexibility, and the burnout subtypes in university students of the Psychology and Nursing degrees, and to analyse possible risk factors for developing burnout among socio-demographic and studies-related characteristics. Design Cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of 644 undergraduate students of Nursing and Psychology from two Spanish universities. Methods The study was conducted between December 2015 and May 2016. Bivariate Pearson's correlations were computed to analyse the association between mindfulness facets, self-compassion and psychological flexibility, and levels of burnout. Multivar…
Transverse-momentum-dependent Multiplicities of Charged Hadrons in Muon-Deuteron Deep Inelastic Scattering
2017
A semi-inclusive measurement of charged hadron multiplicities in deep inelastic muon scattering off an isoscalar target was performed using data collected by the COMPASS Collaboration at CERN. The following kinematic domain is covered by the data: photon virtuality $Q^{2}>1$ (GeV/$c$)$^2$, invariant mass of the hadronic system $W > 5$ GeV/$c^2$, Bjorken scaling variable in the range $0.003 < x < 0.4$, fraction of the virtual photon energy carried by the hadron in the range $0.2 < z < 0.8$, square of the hadron transverse momentum with respect to the virtual photon direction in the range 0.02 (GeV/$c)^2 < P_{\rm{hT}}^{2} < 3$ (GeV/$c$)$^2$. The multiplicities are pres…

Evaluación de una Intervención Mindfulness en Equipos de Cuidados Paliativos
2018
Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar los resultados de un programa breve de entrenamiento en mindfulness sobre la atención plena, la autocompasión y la calidad de vida profesional en equipos de cuidados paliativos. Para ello se llevó a cabo un estudio preexperimental pre-post. Participaron 36 profesionales de equipos de cuidados paliativos de Madrid (España). Se midió mindfulness, autocompasión y calidad de vida profesional. Las mediciones se realizaron al inicio y a las dos semanas de finalizada la intervención, que duró seis semanas. Los resultados de aplicación del programa se evaluaron mediante análisis de varianza multivariados (MANOVA). Tras la intervención se observó una m…
