The social economy as a political priority. Analysis of participator y budgets in Ecuador

2020

En Ecuador, con la aprobación de la constitución en 2008, se ha impulsado la consecución del fin del buen vivir (Sumak Kawsay), fijando como objetivo establecer un sistema económico acorde a sus principios, incorporando entre sus prioridades el fomento de la economía social. El objetivo del trabajo es conocer si las preferencias de la ciudadanía están alineadas con las del gobierno. Para ello se recurre al análisis de los presupuestos participativos en Ecuador, como herramienta que permite conocer las preferencias de la ciudadanía. Concretamente se realizan tres estudios de caso representativos de las distintas regiones naturales de Ecuador: Quito, Guayaquil y Sucumbíos. Como principales re…

Validation of the German Version of the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (MEMS) Inventory (Short Version)

2018

Background: Kreutz et al. (2008) developed the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (ME-MS) Inventory to extend Baron-Cohen's cognitive style theory to the domain of music. We sought to confirm the ME-MS construct in a German sample and to explore these individual differences in relation to music preferences. Methods: The German adaptation of the MEMS Inventory was achieved by forward and backward translation. A total of 1014 participants (532 male, age: 33.79 ± 11.89 years) completed the 18-item short version of the MEMS Inventory online. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed and cut-off values were established to identify individuals who could be classified as ME, Balanced, or M…

In Defense of Cities : On Negative Presentation of Urban Areas in Environmental Preference Studies

2019

This paper critiques a common research method, image-based studies, in assessing environmental preferences. The method is used, in particular, in the fields of environmental psychology, landscape studies, and health studies, here called empirical environmental preference studies or EEP studies. I argue that the established view in the EEP field that nature is inherently experienced as more aesthetically appealing and restorative than urban environments may be biased because of the image-based method. This paper presents a literature review of EEP studies, discussing them in a framework of environmental and everyday aesthetics. The conclusion is that EEP studies may strip cities of their phy…

Italian Consumers’ Preferences for Pasta and Consumption Trends: Tradition or Innovation?

2019

The aim of this study is to know Italian consumers’ preferences for Pasta and consumption habits. Food culture and concerns about food security and product innovation were investigated. A sample of Italian consumers was interviewed. Consumer’ profile, motivations and purchasing behavior were described. Relationships between observed variables and the latent constructs that explain the preferences were highlighted. There is asymmetric information between consumers and producers. Consumers believe Pasta is made with Italian grains, and therefore it is healthy and safe, although that’s not always the case. Intrinsic and extrinsic high quality, which derives from growing and production technolo…

Preference for Fractal-Scaling Properties Across Synthetic Noise Images and Artworks

2018

A large number of studies support the notion that synthetic images within a certain intermediate fractal-scaling range possess an intrinsic esthetic value. Interestingly, the fractal-scaling properties that define this intermediate range have also been found to characterize a vast collection of representational, abstract, and graphic art. While some have argued that these statistic properties only serve to maximize the visibility of the artworks’ spatial structure, others argue that they are intrinsically tied to the artworks’ esthetic appeal. In this study, we bring together these two threads of research and make a direct comparison between visual preference for varying fractal-scaling cha…
