La motivación de los entrenadores deportivos: un estudio desde la teoría de la autodeterminación
2013
El objetivo del estudio consistió en analizar, en una muestra formada por 506 entrenadores, sus percepciones de: satisfacción de necesidades, percepción de utilidad, motivación autodeterminada, y promoción del bienestar de sus deportistas, así como las diferencias en función del sexo, edad y tipo de deporte. También se analizó si las relaciones entre las variables analizadas correspondían a los postulados de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (TA) (Deci y Ryan, 1985a, b; 2000; Ryan y Deci, 2007). El análisis descriptivo indicó que los entrenadores en general obtuvieron altos niveles de satisfacción de necesidades, percepción de utilidad, motivación autodeterminada, y promoción del bienestar,…
Associative Perception of Latvia as a Travel Destination in European Target Markets
2020
The image of the destination and its perception play an important role in distinguishing objectively comparable alternatives. The aim of the research was to find out the associative perceptions of Latvia as a tourism destination in Latvia’s target markets in Europe, as well as to investigate whether the current and potential Latvian tourism brands correspond with the associations of the people of these markets about holiday travel. The study involved data of three face-to-face surveys conducted in several places in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria in the summer of 2015, 2016, and 2017. The questionnaire was made to determine the recognition and the image of Latvia as tourism destination as…
Perceptions and behaviour of cruise tourists during their visit to a port of call
2019
[EN] The purpose of the present research is to assess the perceptions of authenticity and crowding of cruise tourists visiting a port of call and its influence on their future behavioural intentions. The research was carried out in the city of Valencia, because it is one of the main Spanish cruise ports and is a representative city of the Mediterranean ports of call for the cruise business. A total of 467 valid interviews were obtained. For the analysis of data, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 22.0) was used. The findings reveal that Valencia is perceived as an authentic destination with moderate levels of human and spatial crowding. The analysis also demonstra…
The development of perception in tennis
2020
This article provides coaches with a background to the concept of perception, defining it and linking it to the different components involved in certain specific motor tasks. The article then discusses theories that provide a framework to develop this aspect. Finally, it provides a practical set of specific exercises tennis players who want to improve their perceptive capacities, one of the keys to improving player performance.
Sensory & consumer studies with special populations: children and elderly
2015
revue créée en 2015; The need to adapt the usual sensory methods to face the particularities of children and elderly has been emphasized since many years. A diversity of methods that could be used with children according to their developmental stage, and to a lesser extent with elderly depending on their cognitive status, have been described. This review aims at underlining limits but also possibilities for measuring, in children and elderly, sensory reactions, food acceptance and also for exploring cognitive aspects of food perception. The main points to conduct successfully sensory and consumer studies with these populations are highlighted.
Human brain mechanisms of pain perception and regulation in health and disease
2005
Context: The perception of pain due to an acute injury or in clinical pain states undergoes substantial processing at supraspinal levels. Supraspinal, brain mechanisms are increasingly recognized as playing a major role in the representation and modulation of pain experience. These neural mechanisms may then contribute to interindividual variations and disabilities associated with chronic pain conditions. Objective: To systematically review the literature regarding how activity in diverse brain regions creates and modulates the experience of acute and chronic pain states, emphasizing the contribution of various imaging techniques to emerging concepts. Data Sources: MEDLINE and PRE-MEDLINE s…
Digital competences and teaching of classical languages
2018
Digital competence belongs to the competences that were recommended by the European Parliament in 2006 as a part of the students' training in citizenship. However, it is perceived that students of classical languages could face bigger disadvantage just because of the type of studies they chose to undertake. For this reason, we ask ourselves what is the perception of students of classical disciplines regarding the use of new technologies in classrooms and what competences they consider to be developed within these studies. Using a participatory approach/vision of the world and using a qualitative case study methodology, we collect data through semi-structured interviews with Italian and Span…
El Máster en Profesorado de Secundaria desde dentro: expectativas y realidades del Prácticum
2016
El objetivo principal que se plantea este trabajo es analizar las prácticas externas en la formación del profesorado de Educación Secundaria desde el punto de vista del discente en prácticas, aportando argumentos para la autocrítica y dando voz a los verdaderos protagonistas del máster, su alumnado. Hemos utilizado como herramienta metodológica los grupos de discusión, optando por la elaboración de resultados y conclusiones como estrategia descriptiva-clasificatoria-interpretativa, donde se aportan soluciones y propuestas de mejora, fruto de la reflexión compartida. Se han analizado entre otros aspectos teoría versus práctica, metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje, percepción previa de los…
Es pot naturalitzar la intencionalitat?
2016
Resum: La intencionalitat és un element central en la nostra comprensió del món. Diàriament atribuïm estats intencionals (com ara creences, desitjos o percepcions) per a poder explicar el comportament d’altres agents, i moltes teories filosòfiques hi apel·len per a entendre altres nocions més complexes. Tanmateix, els estats intencionals són entitats enigmàtiques. Aquest article explica què és la intencionalitat i per què és tan important i problemàtica alhora. En segon lloc, examina diverses teories naturalistes que intenten mostrar que la intencionalitat és compatible amb una visió científica del món. Finalment, com que totes les propostes existents s’enfronten a dificultats significative…
Fractal-structured multifocal intraocular lens
2017
[EN] In this work, we present a new concept of IOL design inspired by the demonstrated properties of reduced chromatic aberration and extended depth of focus of Fractal zone plates. A detailed description of a proof of concept IOL is provided. The result was numerically characterized, and fabricated by lathe turning. The prototype was tested in vitro using dedicated optical system and software. The theoretical Point Spread Function along the optical axis, computed for several wavelengths, showed that for each wavelength, the IOL produces two main foci surrounded by numerous secondary foci that partially overlap each other for different wavelengths. The result is that both, the near focus an…
