Worldwide research output trends on drinking and driving from 1956 to 2015.
2020
This study seeks to analyze worldwide research activity on drinking and driving of macro-actors (countries and research fields) and meso-actors (institutions, journals, articles, co-substance(s) studied) during the last 6 decades (between 1956 and 2015). Web of Science and Elsevier Scopus were searched using terms referred to drinking and driving, including terms related to vehicles and way spaces. Overlapping was excluded and absence of false positives was confirmed. Articles on alcohol with/without other psychoactive substances were assessed quantitatively (bibliometric measures). Well identified by All Science Journal Classification system (ASJC) (Elsevier Scopus), an increase in the num…
Predatory journals enter biomedical databases through public funding
2020
Predatory publishing is an international, cross disciplinary threat to the integrity of the scientific system • A worrying number of articles published in predatory journals are indexed in biomedical databases such as PubMed, the free access biomedical database maintained by the National Library of Medicine • Public funding, under open access policies, seems to be the mechanism by which articles are displayed in PubMed. • Providing guidance to publicly funded authors on how to publish their work in legitimate open-access venues will likely stop the wasteful use of public money to cover the fees of predatory journals.
The formal method in Germany and Russia : the beginnings of European psycholinguistics
2018
Abstract German–Austrian psychology is a direct source of the European formalism movement both in the German context (Germany, Austria) as well as in Russia. This interest of the formalists in the corporeal component of linguistic and literary production has resulted in a particular research stream, which could be defined as a ‘linguo-somatic orientation’. In particular, this is the case of Alois Riegl’s [1] perceptive ‘tactile–optical’ method; Adolf von Hildebrand’s [2] architectonic conception; Konrad Fiedler’s [3] ‘sensorial aesthetics’; W. Wölfflin’s [4] ‘basic concepts’ of the art history, W. Worringer’s [5] psychological arts typology as well as Oskar Walzel’s sound-corporeal poetics …
Blended Learning als Spielfeld für Learning Analytics und Educational Data Mining
2020
Der Einsatz digitaler Lernformate im Blended Learning bietet demnach Chancen in mindestens zwei Bereichen. Zum einen konnen digitale Lernformate direkt die Lernprozesse von Studierenden gunstig beeinflussen, ihre Leistungen verbessern und zudem positive Effekte auf vielen weiteren Ebenen wie der Motivation oder des Selbstkonzeptes bewirken. Zum anderen generieren digitale Lernformate eine Fulle von Daten in vielfaltiger Gestalt. Studierende erzeugen bei der Arbeit mit digitalen Werkzeugen Nutzungsdaten, wie Verweildauern und Aktivitatsprofile, sie produzieren Leistungsdaten aus digitalen Aufgaben, sie hinterlassen Textbeitrage in Foren und Chats. All diese Daten konnen genutzt werden, um mi…
Flowers with powers – conception and evaluation of an ‘educational seed mix’
2020
Plant blindness has been widely examined in plant education research. However, practical attempts to counteract the common disregard of plants are rare, especially in standard school contexts. We d...
Blockchain Securities, Insolvency Law and the Sandbox Approach
2018
Blockchain is a new technology that is based on an algorithm which allows participants of an IT network to process, store and share data across multiple points without the need for any intermediary, at least in order to ensure the integrity of the data dealt with. This technology is simplifying financial markets—many organizations are launching initial coin offerings to facilitate the financing of new business ventures; moreover, ‘securities’ that are issued in such a digital form can be bought and sold in the secondary market without the intervention of the traditional intermediaries. However, this use of blockchain could give rise to many problems which, in this article, will be analysed …
La blogosfera política española en las Elecciones Generales 2011. Una comparación entre blogs de candidatos, periodistas y ciudadanos

Se plantea un análisis de contenido fundamentado en 57 categorías temáticas para establecer …
New trends in science education
1996
I intend to review the main contributions from the impressive developments made in science education research during the last decade. These developments have made the construction of a coherent body of knowledge possible allowing us to expect a significant improvement in the science teaching/learning process. I shall refer, in particular, to the new trends in science education research, both in the domain of science learning and science teacher‐training.
La confrontación partidista española a propósito de América Latina
2021
América Latina ha sido desde siempre objeto de controversia en España, aunque últimamente con mayor intensidad se ha convertido en materia de utilización partidista, especialmente por parte de un bloque conservador que se esfuerza en convertir hechos y procesos latinoamericanos en elementos de confrontación política interna española. También las izquierdas hispanas tienen presente a América latina en su acción política, y padecen una elevada desinformación, mientras mantienen clichés de otra época. El artículo atiende a tres casos en la confrontación derecha/izquierda de los últimos tiempos: Venezuela, ariete conservador contra el Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez; México, como excitante del nacion…
The Border Effect in Spain
2005
This paper analyses the border effect in Spain using a unique dataset on intranational trade flows over the period 1995–98. The results indicate that, after controlling for market size and distance, Spanish regions trade around 22 times more with the rest of Spain than they do with OECD countries. Moreover, the size of the Spanish bias is lower in the case of the Spanish regions’ exports than in the case of imports, although the difference is not statistically significant in most cases. Finally, the border effect is not uniform across Spanish regions.
