Un Estudio Longitudinal de la Reputación Social no Conformista y la Violencia en Adolescentes desde la Perspectiva de Género

2012

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la relación existente entre la reputación social del adolescente -percibida e ideal-, y la violencia instrumental -manifiesta y relacional- en adolescentes desde una perspectiva de género. La muestra utilizada en este estudios fue de 1319 adolescentes -T1- de ambos sexos (53% chicas y 47% chicos) y de edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 16 años (edad media 13.5; desviación típica 1.5), escolarizados en siete centros educativos de enseñanza secundaria y, de 554 estudiantes -T2- (54% chicas y 46% chicos). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Escala de Reputación Social no conformista de Carroll, Houghton, Hattie y Durkin (1999) y la Escala de …

Rendere sensibile, rendere visibile. Le pratiche artistiche tra confini territoriali e disciplinari

2017

Ripensare oggi un futuro per le aree interne significa in primo luogo decostruire l’idea di perifericità e di marginalità cui esse hanno rimandato per un lungo periodo (Decandia, 2016). Una decostuzione che si compie adottando un nuovo sguardo, un ripensamento creativo e generativo dei territori in cui linguaggi sensibili e razionalità estetiche agiscono come dispositivi di trasformazione. Molte di queste aree sono oggi l’incubazione di un rigoglioso sottobosco in azione, terreni in cui pratiche artistiche e culturali agiscono facendo della perifericità il fulcro della sperimentazione. Attraverso l’arte contemporanea queste pratiche incidono nei territori innescando dei processi critici di …

Structural Growth Disengagement and Entrepreneurship in Small and Micro-Firms. Mapping Pathologies and Physiologies of “Business Dwarfism” in a Dynam…

This paper focuses growth disengagement, in the perspective of those firms who have been keeping their structures, processes and relational systems unchanged for a very long time. The implicit hypothesis according to which such businesses are affected by a structural disease, are not able to create any significant value, and characterised by similar features, is critically discussed. Through an analysis of the phenomenon in the business growth and dynamic resource-based-view, a first attempt taxonomy, based on case-studies, is sketched. It is demonstrated how the implicit assumption according to which such firms are affected by a pathological condition is false, at least if seen as an a pri…

Experimental BIM applications in Archaeology: a work-flow

2014

In the last few decades various conceptual models, methods and techniques have been studied to allow 3D digital access to Cultural Heritage (CH). Among these is BIM (Building Information Modeling): originally built up for construction projects, it has been already experimented in the CH domain, but not enough in the archaeological field. This paper illustrates a framework to create 3D archaeological models integrated with databases using BIM. The models implemented are queryable by the connection with a Relational Database Management System and sharable on the web. Parametric solid and semantic models are integrated with 3D standardized database models that are finally manageable in the pub…

RDF-Based Web Information Integration System: A Travel System Use Case

2018

Enterprises are continually faced with the challenge of integrating heterogeneous systems with incompatible interfaces, data structures (Source structured relational databases, semi-structured sources, XML, or unstructured documents: texts), access mode and technologies. When companies adopt SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), that provides an alternative to traditional design of applications by allowing a designer to assemble and compose existing services that implement the functions of a given application domain, they realize that there is a significant risk that Web services only do not solve the problem of compatibility in the data. Our paper gives a solution to these issues by setting…

Integration of distributed healthcare records: publishing legacy data as XML documents compliant with CEN/TC251 ENV13606

2003

To support co-operative work among health professionals and institutions it is necessary to share healthcare information about patients in a meaningful way. But, nowadays, in most hospitals health data are distributed across several information systems whose interconnection is difficult to achieve, this leads to the so-called islands of information. This paper briefly describes the architecture, design and implementation of the PANGEA system. PANGEA allows healthcare professionals to access patient information stored in heterogeneous autonomous information systems through a set of formal aggregates of health data based on the European pre-standard of Healthcare Record Architecture ENV13606 …

Relational long-term breastfeeding

2021

This article uses a relationality-sensitive perspective to analyse long-term breastfeeding. The data was gathered through open invitations to write, and the article is based on the written reflections of 39 long-term breastfeeding Finnish mothers. In Finland, the breastfeeding of babies is strongly supported, but long-term breastfeeding (over 12 months) is a more conflicted issue, and the cultural norm of one year of breastfeeding is strong. Through qualitative content analysis, the article shows how mothers reflect on long-term breastfeeding’s effects on their relations with their breastfed children, partners (if any), relatives and healthcare professionals. The findings show that long-ter…

The role of intellectual capital and entrepreneurial characteristics as innovation drivers

2014

La innovacion y la iniciativa empresarial son estrategias organizacionales esenciales para encontrar una salida a la crisis mundial que afecta a las empresas de hoy en dia. Por lo tanto, el estudio de como los factores organizacionales como el capital intelectual o las caracteristicas de los empresarios afectan el exito de un proyecto empresarial innovador, es de gran importancia para ayudar a las organizaciones actuales a encontrar una solucion a este problema. El capital intelectual implica una inversion en capital humano, estructural y relacional. Por consiguiente, nuestro objetivo investigativo se centra en analizar la influencia del capital intelectual asi como las caracteristicas pers…

Assessing preferences and motivations for owning exotic pets : Care matters

2023

Understanding drivers of demand for exotic pets may help inform adequate conservation strategies to address unsustainable trade. Here, we used a best-worst scaling approach to understand the variety of preferences and motivations for owning exotic pets. Respondents (316 from 33 countries) preferred exotic pets that were captive-bred, had rare aesthetic features, and were common in the wild and abundant in the market. Species that were at risk of extinction, in short supply, sourced from the wild, and under trade restrictions were the least favoured by respondents. Feelings of care, such as attachment, affection, nurture, as well as curiosity and being passionate about the species, were domi…

Dynamics of brain activity underlying working memory for music in a naturalistic condition

2012

Working memory (WM) is at the core of any cognitive function as it is necessary for the integration of information over time. Despite WM’s critical role in high-level cognitive functions, its implementation in the neural tissue is poorly understood. Preliminary studies on auditory WM show differences between linguistic and musical memory, leading to the speculation of specific neural networks encoding memory for music. Moreover, in neuroscience WM has not been studied in naturalistic listening conditions but rather in artificial settings (e.g., n-back and Sternberg tasks). Western tonal music provides naturally occurring motivic repetition and variation, recognizable units serving as WM tri…
