Las repercusiones de la crisis triguera de 1629-1631 sobre las finanzas de la ciudad de Valencia
2005
La incidencia de la crisis triguera de 1629-1631 obligó a la ciudad de Valencia a desarrollar diversos sistemas de avituallamiento. Pero ello no pudo impedir que se produjera un excepcional aumento de los precios del cereal, frente al cual el Municipio desarrolló una arriesgada política que abocó en la falta de numerario de la Taula de Canvis. La búsqueda de soluciones ante el déficit se tradujo en la elaboración, desde diferentes instancias políticas, de numerosos memoriales proponiendo múltiples y variados arbitrios frente a la crisis, cuyo análisis constituye el objetivo primordial de este artículo. The effect of the wheat crisis of 1629-1631 forced the city of Valencia to develop variou…
The Upsides and Downsides of High Self-Control: Evidence for Effects of Similarity and Situation Dependency
2021
High trait self-control is generally depicted as favorable. We investigated whether this holds for social perception. Using vignettes, we tested whether a person with high self-control is 1) preferred as a partner for all or only certain social situations, 2) perceived as less likeable than a person with low self-control, 3) liked more if the person is female and the behavior thus fits the sex-stereotype, and 4) perceived differently from a person with low self-control with respect to a wide range of adjectives used to describe personality. Competing theories are presented for each area. Results indicate that although high self-control is associated with a wide range of socially desirable t…
Confirmatory factor analysis of the proxy version of Kidscreen-27 and relationships between health-related quality of life dimensions and body mass i…
2020
Highlights • The full Kidscreen-27 should be used with caution for young children. • Physical activity was positively associated with physical well-being. • Body mass was negatively associated with physical well-being. • Compared to older children, the youngest may have more negative school experiences.
Two Half-Truths Make a Whole? On Bias in Self-Reports and Tracking Data
2019
The pervasive use of mobile information technologies brings new patterns of media usage, but also challenges to the measurement of media exposure. Researchers wishing to, for example, understand the nature of selective exposure on algorithmically driven platforms need to precisely attribute individuals’ exposure to specific content. Prior research has used tracking data to show that survey-based self-reports of media exposure are critically unreliable. So far, however, little effort has been invested into assessing the specific biases of tracking methods themselves. Using data from a multimethod study, we show that tracking data from mobile devices is linked to systematic distortions in sel…
Socioemotional characteristics of minors in foster care: A comparison between the estimation of parents, teachers and children
2013
Abstract During the child's first few years, it's of fundamental importance the presence of a strong emotional base as long as it creates the possibility to open themselves to physical and social world with confidence, and as it acts as a facilitator of cognitive development. For this reason, if the family cannot ensure such base, social services are forced to resort to foster care, a resource that has a lot of difficulties, leading to different implications in the development of the child and of the foster family. It is therefore important to analyze in depth the socio-emotional variables that characterize children who are in a situation of foster care in order to provide adequate assistan…
Intellectual capital disclosure in sustainability reports
2013
The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the level and the quality of voluntary disclosures of Intellectual Capital (IC) in the sustainability reports on a sample of Italian listed companies. The authors conducted an analysis of twelve sustainability reports for two years (2009-2010). These are related to six firms selected among the most capitalized 37 Italian listed companies. To investigate the “level of disclosure,” the authors identified the presence of IC information, while to evaluate the “IC quality,” they constructed a voluntary disclosure index based on content analysis. IC information disclosure is more likely present in sustainability reports of firms with a higher levels of ap…
Gender inequality in directive bodies and scientific production on the Ibero-American psychology journals with greater international visibility
2018
[ES]: El presente trabajo analiza desde una perspectiva de género la composición de los equipos editoriales de las revistas iberoamericanas de Psicología incluidas en el Journal Citation Reports de 2015 (editado en 2016) y la producción de artículos y número de firmas en estas revistas en el JCR de 2014 y 2015. Los resultados indican mayor presencia de hombres en comités editoriales, con cargos de responsabilidad mayores y en revistas de mejor cuartil. En la producción científica destaca una igualdad en función del género en el número de firmas y en el número de mujeres y hombres como primer firmante, si bien las mujeres aparecen en menor medida como autores de la correspondencia y presenta…
L’architettura gotica in Sicilia centro-orientale nelle perizie degli architetti d’età moderna
2018
L’ARCHITETTURA GOTICA IN SICILIA CENTRO-ORIENTALE NELLE PERIZIE DEGLI ARCHITETTI D’ETÀ MODERNA Il contributo si concentra sulla percezione e sulla valutazione da parte degli architetti siciliani d’età moderna di opere costruite sull’isola in età gotica. L’occasione del confronto emerge soprattutto dalle perizie redatte durante l’elaborazione di nuovi progetti (di ammodernamento, di completamento) che contemplano la salvaguardia o la distruzione delle strutture del passato. Le relazioni selezionate in questa occasione affrontano pertanto questioni di carattere prevalentemente estetico e di linguaggio, ma anche le ragioni inerenti alle strutture e quelle relative alle economie (di cantiere, d…
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate is a key component of regulatory T cell–mediated suppression
2007
Naturally occurring regulatory T cells (T reg cells) are a thymus-derived subset of T cells, which are crucial for the maintenance of peripheral tolerance by controlling potentially autoreactive T cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this strictly cell contact–dependent process are still elusive. Here we show that naturally occurring T reg cells harbor high levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). This second messenger is known to be a potent inhibitor of proliferation and interleukin 2 synthesis in T cells. Upon coactivation with naturally occurring T reg cells the cAMP content of responder T cells is also strongly increased. Furthermore, we demonstrate that natur…
