Effectiveness of a mobile app intervention to prevent dating violence in residential child care

2020

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the effectiveness of an app-based, monitored intervention using the Liad@s app in a residential youth-care setting. The aim of this intervention is to reduce maladaptive beliefs and attitudes linked to dating violence: distortions or myths about romantic love and hostile and benevolent dimensions of sexism. A quasi-experimental pre-post study with a control group was carried out. Participants were 71 adolescents from 9 group homes in Valencia (Spain). The outcomes measures were hostile and benevolent sexism (Ambivalent Sexism Inventory - ASI), ambivalence and prejudice towards men (Ambivalence toward Men Inventory - AMI), and myths about romantic love. The res…

Religion and Social Integration ‘Crises’ in North Western Europe: Some Conclusions

2013

My investigation of religion-related social integration crises in four North West European societies in the period 2001–11 began with the English case and the riots in some Northern English cities of 2001. In concluding I shall start again with this case, bringing it together with the Dutch, French and Northern Irish evidence we have now considered, and with my findings across each of the dimensions examined (segregation, media, institutional forms of multiculturalism and secularism, far-right and post-liberal mobilisation and national cultural trauma). Since much attention has been given to factors which shape conflict and influence the construction of prejudice, and especially to the nega…

Hume en Deleuze: los primeros lineamientos del empirismo trascendental

2012

Deleuze gustaba de parangonar su quehacer filosófico con una suerte de patchwork o collage: un pensamiento al estilo Arlequín, abigarrado y hecho de fragmentos no totalizables. Tal es el pluralismo (o empirismo) reivindicado por el filósofo francés, y también su resultado: un bizarro mosaico hecho de encuentros o téléscopages entre autores aparentemente no relacionados. No obstante, el caso de Empirismo y subjetividad (1953) resulta un tanto extraño: no parece encajar en este complejo puzzle, y la infravaloración de la que adolece en numerosos comentarios sobre Deleuze tiende a reforzar ese prejuicio. Por el contrario, nos proponemos mostrar que este estudio sobre Hume contiene las primeras…

Una storia italiana: Giorgio e Isabella

2018

Si tratta, qui, della storia di due italiani dalla “pelle scura” raccontata, per Giorgio Marincola, da Carlo Costa e Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana e, per la sorella Isabella, da Wu Ming 2 e Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. Le loro vicende, così come molti altri aspetti della nostra storia coloniale, neocoloniale e postcoloniale, sono riemerse dal buio nel quale erano state occultate solo nell’ultimo quindicennio, grazie alla riapertura degli archivi che ha permesso di ridiscutere molti degli aspetti che nelle pagine di Storia, così come in quelle letterarie, erano stati raccontati in altro modo. I due testi, che hanno inevitabilmente finito per incontrarsi e che potremmo in…

Adaptación de tres variables contextuales en estudiantes universitarios argentinos

2017

Una de las dificultades que han presentado los estudios destinados a identificar las causas de deserción universitaria es la falta de consideración de variables sociales/contextuales que, según se ha demostrado en la literatura, se relacionan con el proceso de progresión de la carrera. Para la evaluación de dichas variables, el primer paso consiste en la adaptación de pruebas que permitan su medición. Por lo cual, el objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en la adaptación de las escalas de Apertura a la Diversidad, Percepción de Prejuicios y Discriminación y Experiencias Académicas. En este estudio participaron 1295 estudiantes que se encontraban cursando diferentes carreras en la Universi…

[EN] The present research deals with the question of the teaching of Valencian in the Spanish-speaking areas where the LUEV (1983) is in force, which determines the possibility of exemption from the subject of Valencian.

The aim of the study is to identify and differentiate the linguistic attitudes towards the Valencian language in this sociolinguistic context and it is an opportunity to present an educational change.
