Coupled coincidence point results for (φ,ψ)-contractive mappings in partially ordered metric spaces
2014
Abstract. In this paper, we extend the coupled coincidence point theorems for a mixed g-monotone operator F : X × X → X $F:X\times X\rightarrow X$ obtained by Alotaibi and Alsulami [Fixed Point Theory Appl. (2011), article ID 44], by weakening the involved contractive condition. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our generalizations. Our result also generalizes some recent results announced in the literature. Moreover, some applications to integral equations are presented.
Coupled fixed point theorems for symmetric (phi,psi)-weakly contractive mappings in ordered partial metric spaces
2013
We establish some coupled fixed point theorems for symmetric (phi,chi)-weakly contractive mappings in ordered partial metric spaces. Some recent results of Berinde (Nonlinear Anal. 74 (2011), 7347-7355; Nonlinear Anal. 75 (2012), 3218-3228) and many others are extended and generalized to the class of ordered partial metric spaces.
Analysis of the covers of textbooks of Primary Physical Education
2017
Esta investigación analiza las imágenes del cuerpo humano y el tipo de actividad física que practica en las portadas de los libros de texto del área de Educación Física (EF) en Educación Primaria (EP), para determinar si reproducen y transmiten estereotipos en relación al sexo, raza, cuerpo, discapacidad y actividad física en función del currículum. La muestra universo consta de 30 portadas, publicadas bajo la Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE). Los resultados muestran portadas preferentemente dibujadas y en color, los protagonistas de la actividad física son niños y niñas conjuntamente (agrupación mixta), pero a la vez permanecen estereotipos de raza (blanca) y somatotipo (ectomorfo) realizan…
Promoting the Cultural Understanding of a Student in a General Education School: Teachers’ Experiences and Challenges
2020
Cultural understanding is a basis for competence-oriented general education. Teachers are responsible for applied content and methods that are used to purposefully lead school students to that result.The aim of this study is to identify actual goals for the development of teacher education curriculum, professional development, and teaching aids by investigating in-service teachers’ challenges in the successful promotion of students’ cultural understanding in general schools.The readiness of teachers to promote the cultural understanding of primary school students was explored in a mixed-methods study. The findings indicated aspects that teachers consider relevant as well as the main problem…
Fighting words : representations of dominant masculinity in the interviews of a mixed martial arts champion
2017
Vapaaottelun kasvattaessa suosiotaan kansainvälisesti tunnettuna urheilulajina ovat myös lukuisat vapaaottelijat yhä laajenevan mediahuomion alaisina sekä lisääntyvän julkisen vaikutusvallan käyttäjinä. Näin ollen useille vapaaottelijoille vaikuttaa olevan yhä tärkeämpää esiintyä julkisesti siten, että heidän käytöksensä houkuttelisi mahdollisimman paljon maksavia asiakkaita katsomaan heidän otteluitaan sekä itse ottelutapahtumiin että maksullisten TV- ja internet-palveluiden välityksellä. Tyypillisesti tällainen käytös sisältää oman itsen julkituomista mahdollisimman maskuliinisesti ja itsevarmasti sekä kilpakumppanien esittämistä muun muassa fyysisesti ja urheilullisilta kyvyiltään alempi…
Scope of service-learning in physical education teacher education: a mixed methodological approach
2019
Esta investigación compara el desarrollo de la competencia docente, del alumnado en didáctica de la educación física (n = 96), a través de dos modalidades de intervención de un mismo programa de aprendizaje-servicio. El estudio se aborda utilizando los métodos mixtos con triangulación metodológica. El apartado cuantitativo se afronta a través de un diseño cuasi-experimental de grupos no equivalentes con dos grupos experimentales, utilizando la rúbrica para medir la competencia docente al aplicar juegos motores y expresivos (Capella, Gil, Chiva, & Martí, 2015). La vertiente cualitativa se desarrolla analizando diversas historias de vida de relatos múltiples cruzados. Igualmente, también se r…
Effect of a cyanobacterial diet on the competition between rotifers: a case study in Lake Albufera of Valencia, Spain
2019
espanolBrachionus havanaensis se distribuye predominantemente en las regiones Neartica y Neotropical. Ahora se encuentra incluso en las regiones Paleartica y Oriental. Durante el verano de 2015, encontramos altas densidades (> 500 ind./l) de esta especie y bajas abundancias de Brachionus angularis en la laguna de la Albufera, donde la cianobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa) fue dominante en la comunidad de fitoplancton. Nuestra hipotesis fue que la cianobacteria era toxica para B. angularis pero no para B. havanaensis, por lo que este ultimo superaria al primero en presencia de dicha cianobacteria. Para probar la hipotesis, realizamos experimentos de competencia entre estas dos especies de r…
Food for flight: pre-migratory dynamics of the Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni.
2014
Capsule The post-reproductive stage of Lesser Kestrel is crucial for migratory fuelling and survival. Aims To describe the summer pre-migratory ecology of the Lesser Kestrel in Sicily and review existing data in Southern Europe. Methods We identified the main summer roosts and then made roost counts every ten days from 2010 to 2012. We used case-sensitive modelling procedures to detect biases in counts (generalized linear mixed models), assess the annual population trends from 2005 to 2012 (TRends and Indices for Monitoring); and to model habitat preferences (generalized linear model). We sampled pellets to describe the birds’ diet during the peak month prior to migration. Results We discov…
Cannabis-associated symptom profiles in patients with first episode psychosis and population controls
2019
AbstractObjectiveThe evidence is mixed on whether cannabis use is associated with a particular symptomatology in first episode psychosis (FEP) patients.The authors set out to investigate a) patterns of association between cannabis use and transdiagnostic symptom dimensions; b) whether the extent of use of cannabis contributes to the variation in clinical and subclinical symptom profiles.MethodThe authors analysed data from 901 patients and 1235 controls recruited across six countries, as part of the European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene-Environment Interactions (EU-GEI) study. Item response modelling was used to estimate two bifactor models, which included genera…
Effects of heat treatment on rheological properties of pea and egg white protein mixtures
2020
International audience; Partial substitution of animal protein by plant protein is a new opportunity to produce sustainable food for human beings. However, separated studies of plant protein and egg white cannot help to have a direct understanding of the complex structure in a mixed food product. In this work, we used low-denatured pea globulins (PG) in admixture with raw egg white (EW) to study the thermal and rheological behavior of the mixed systems submitted to heat treatment (>G’’) for all the protein samples whatever the pH. Higher storage modulus (G’) values for egg white indicated stronger elastic behavior as for the mixtures. From strain sweep experiments, the addition of PG in the…
