Psychometric properties of the stress control mindset measure in university students from Australia and the UK
2021
Abstract Introduction Beliefs about the consequences of stress, stress mindsets, are associated with health and performance outcomes under stress. This article reports the development and examination of the psychometric properties of a measure of stress mindset: The Stress Control Mindset Measure (SCMM). The measure is consistent with theory on mindsets about self‐attributes and conceptualizes stress mindset as the extent to which individuals endorse beliefs that stress can be enhancing. Methods The study adopted a correlational cross‐sectional survey design in two student samples. Undergraduate students from an Australian university (Sample 1, N = 218) and a UK university (Sample 2, N = 21…
CORPORATE WRONGDOING AND AUDIENCE SUPPORT: LESSONS FROM THE PARMALAT SCANDAL
2014
Audience decisions regarding whether to continue to support a corporation after it has been perceived as culpable for socially irresponsible behaviour is “coin of the realm” in selecting which firms (or which parts of a firm) will be able to survive a CSI-scandal. This paper analyses the main dimensions underlying post-CSI audience support decisions. Our empirical setting is an embedded polar case of audience support following a severe CSI scandal. Though we apply the framework developed in the nascent stream of attribution theory in CSI to comprehend the subjective processes underlying audience reactions, this study adds a number of dimensions to those already included in attribution studi…
Value congruence in health care priority setting: social values, institutions and decisions in three countries
2014
AbstractMost developed democracies have faced the challenge of priority setting in health care by setting up specialized agencies to take decisions on which medical services to include in public health baskets. Under the influence of Daniels and Sabin’s seminal work on the topic, agencies increasingly aim to fulfil criteria of procedural justice, such as accountability and transparency. We assume, however, that the institutional design of agencies also and necessarily reflects substantial value judgments on the respective weight of distributive principles such as efficiency, need and equality. The public acceptance of prioritization decisions, and eventually of the health care system at lar…
Was the Christian conquest of al-Andalus irreversible?
2012
The consideration of the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa as a turning point in history must necessarily be contemplated within the larger framework of the incapacity shown by Andalusi society to oppose the conquering dynamics manifested by the Iberian feudal aristocracies and monarchies since the conquest of Toledo (1085). This is a crucial matter that cannot be seen in isolation from the wider context of the expansion of Latin Christendom. In this regard, the present article suggests a comparison between the disparate fortunes of the Iberian kingdoms and the Latin principalities in the East through the critical assessment of three factors: (i) dissemination of, and role played by the ideolog…

2019
Este trabajo estudia la presencia del libro llamado Llibre de la Çuna e Xara, por el que se regían las aljamas musulmanas valencianas durante la Edad Media, en dos bibliotecas valencianas dispares.

Poder Real Africano. Propaganda y legitimación de Juba I (ca. 60-46 a. C.) a través de sus emisiones helenísticas
2019
Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un estado de la cuestión acerca de las acuñaciones monetarias del rey númida Juba I. Históricamente nos encontramos ante la Segunda Guerra Civil Romana mantenida entre Pompeyo y Julio César (49-45 a. C.), donde Juba I apoya al «bando pompeyano». Las monedas de Juba I son producto de dicho acontecimiento y tienen su explicación en el pago de tropas contratadas. Además, las leyendas monetarias se insertan dentro de la propaganda e inciden en la posterior legitimación del trono númida, en manos de Juba I. This paper aims to present a state of the question about the coins struck by Juba I, king of Numidia. Historically we find ourselves before the Sec…
Un asesinato en la Valldigna (Valencia, 1492)
2005
In 1492, a fatal robbery was committed in a small village in the Kingdom of Valencia. This article analyses the statements of the witnesses to a confession of this crime that were recorded in an Arabic document. The document provides evidence for the application of sharī'a law among Muslims in a territory that was no longer part of an Islamic state - in this case, the meting out of punishments for blood crimes. The survival of the document as part of the case file of the Christian court that adjudicated the case shows that the Valencian justice system considered valid documents produced by a Muslim judge, by a court clerk or by a notary. Moreover, these decisions were provided in Arabic wit…
De la aljama a la corte: aproximación biográfica del médico converso valenciano Pere Pintor (<em>ca</em>. 1423-1508)
2019
This paper deals with the biography of the doctor from Valencia Pere Pintor, a member of a family of Valencian Jewish conversos. He was a doctor who, after training at the Estudi General in Lleida, worked for nearly thirty years in the city of Valencia, in the service of the municipal council, numerous noblemen, and the royal household. As a doctor, he became very successful and well known, and he amassed great wealth in parallel to his social advancement. All this was placed in jeopardy with the establishment, in 1481, of the court of the Holy Inquisition in the kingdom of Valencia, which fiercely attacked and repressed Pintor and his family. As a result of this he left Valencia and moved …

An Almost Unknown Literature: Catalan Language Writers in Valencia's Kingdom in the Early Modern Age (1500-1800)
2009
This essay provides an overview of literary production in Catalan in the Kingdom of Valencia during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, an extensive period of time that has been described as "decadent" on account of the pressure of Castilian and the relative neglect by Valencians of their own language in favor of that of the Hispanic monarchy. However, recent research has revealed the survival of autochthonous literature, which, up until now, has been little-studied.
