High Wage Workers Match with High Wage Firms: Clear Evidence of the Effects of Limited Mobility Bias
2012
Positive assortative matching implies that high productivity workers and firms match together. However, there is almost no evidence of a positive correlation between the worker and firm contributions in two-way fixed-effects wage equations. This could be the result of a bias caused by standard estimation error. Using German social security records we show that the effect of this bias is substantial in samples with limited inter-firm movement. The correlation between worker and firm contributions to wage equations is unambiguously positive.
A DIGITAL BEHAVIOURAL ASSESSMENT APPLICATION TO APPLY POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT IN SCHOOL WIDE INTERVENTION
2018
The Behavioural Assessment to improve School Environment (BASE) European Erasmus+ project responses to the European requirement of reforming the whole scholastic disciplinary system identifies in the proven US-born concept of the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) one possible solution, and tries to adapt its practical and evidence-based principles to the heterogeneous European school settings. Recently, scientific studies (Sugai, Horner, 2016) have emphasized the promising role of PBS in reducing the occurrence of behavioural problems by setting up a preventive, proactive and multilevel system based on the direct involvement of the entire school team: starting from teachers, school leaders u…
Visits to Natural Environments Improve State Body Appreciation: Evidence from Malaysia, Romania, and Spain
2020
Recent studies have reported that nature exposure is associated with more positive body image—a multifaceted construct that includes one's body-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—but these studies are constrained by a focus on limited national contexts and environment types. To rectify this, we examined the impact of nature exposure on state body image in diverse national contexts and across different environment types. In Study 1, 140 Romanian and 161 Spanish adults who visited botanic gardens were asked to complete a measure of state body appreciation on entry and again upon exit, as well as report their visit duration. Analyses indicated that there was a significant increase in bo…
Education and Training for Parents Today, Discipline and Wellbeing for Children Tomorrow
2014
Abstract Children's upbringing is one of the most important and difficult roles and challenges for parents today. This paper presents a new model of parenting training developed within the project “BE Supportive, NOT violent! Positive parenting for happy children!”- III Daphne Programme (European Commission). Parents from several countries – among them Spain – were trained receiving informative background as well as practical advice for everyday use. The main results show that parents acquired useful techniques for upbringing children as communication skills or strategies to set limits, and moreover they got to know more about children's development. In this sense, providing basic knowledge…
¡Qué quejicosos! Buzón de quejas a través del aprendizaje cooperativo
2017
Resumen: En este artículo se ofrece una experiencia práctica enmarcada dentro del aprendizaje cooperativo, que crea una interdependencia positiva propicia para el aprendizaje. Para ello, después de una breve aproximación teórica al aprendizaje cooperativo, la argumentación y los actos de habla de queja, así como del género textual «carta de reclamación», se expone la propuesta de nivel B2 organizada en diferentes pasos: la selección de equipos, el análisis de cartas de reclamación, la modificación de los equipos, la asignación de roles, así como la escritura de cartas y posterior evaluación. Se trabajan distintas destrezas, además de conseguir que los alumnos interactúen como en la vida rea…
La dérive pédagogique parallèle. Un fil éducatif invisible entre Porto et Paris à travers des récits personnels
2019
Partimos de la deriva como práctica artística contemporánea, con reconocidos antecedentes históricos. El objetivo principal es experimentar las potencialidades pedagógicas de la observación de entornos urbanos de forma colaborativa y mediada por las TIC a través de la deriva, como artistas/investigadores/docentes encargados de la formación del profesorado, para poder introducir este tipo de iniciativas en el entorno educativo. La A/R/Tografía como método de Investigación Basada en las Artes facilita usar la deriva simultáneamente como práctica artística, proceso investigador y experiencia de aprendizaje docente. Los resultados se exponen a través de narrativas personales que muestran reflex…

Positive solutions of discrete boundary value problems with the (p,q)-Laplacian operator
2017
We consider a discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem of equations with the (p,q)-Laplacian operator in the principal part and prove the existence of at least two positive solutions. The assumptions on the reaction term ensure that the Euler-Lagrange functional, corresponding to the problem, satisfies an abstract two critical points result.
A singular (p,q)-equation with convection and a locally defined perturbation
2021
We consider a parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the (p,q)-Laplacian and a reaction which is gradient dependent (convection) and the competing effects of two more terms, one a parametric singular term and a locally defined perturbation. We show that for all small values of the parameter the problem has a positive smooth solution.
