La matriz de análisis de políticas con datos eficientes: evaluación de la rentabilidad del cultivo del arroz
2008
This paper combines policy analysis matrix and data envelopment analysis techniques to model the analysis of profitability from farming. Policy analysis matrices are computed for a sample of rice growers located in the wetland of the Albufera (Eastern Spain) under observed conventional and profit-efficient farming conditions. While conventional analysis points to a lack of profitability, farmers are shown to make positive profits at private and social prices when data reflecting efficiency adjustments are used in the analysis. The main conclusion is that the usefulness of the policy analysis matrix might be substantially enhanced by simulating profitability after efficiency-improving manage…
Los combates por la fe y el nacimiento de Europa: El ejemplo español del siglo xv al xvii
2019
Este artículo analiza el efecto que la coexistencia del cristianismo, el judaísmo y el islam ha tenido para la configuración de Europa. El trabajo parte de la España del siglo xv, donde esa convivencia es más evidente, para ilustrar cómo las apologías confesionales solían acabar en la conclusión de que la religión del otro era irracional, resultando, pues, imposible construir una identidad europea sin la aniquilación del otro. Conscientes de ello, humanistas como J. L. Vives prefirieron centrar el acercamiento al otro en lo epistemológico y en lo moral más que en lo dogmático. Ese sería el punto de partida para una Europa como la testimoniada en el Quijote, en la que las racionalidades enfr…
Development engineers’ work and learning as shared practice
2008
The field of workplace learning lacks empirical studies that view workplace practices as places for learning and see these practices in a critical light. Accordingly, the aim of this study is, first, to describe examples of everyday shared practice and consider what kinds of various conflicting aims and demands exist in it. Second, the purpose is to explore what and how it is possible to learn through these shared practices in the area of design and development work. The empirical material consists of ethnographic observations made in two organizations in Finland. Three thematic lines were extracted from field notes and transcribed work talk on the basis of ethnographic and adapted membersh…
Las cooperativas de consumo en España, 1865- 1939 : Un mecanismo alternativo de acceso a los alimentos
2021
Desde su nacimiento a mediados del siglo XIX en Rochdale (Gran Bretaña), el movimiento cooperativo de consumo se expandió rápidamente por toda Europa. Conocer cómo funcionaron estas entidades puede proporcionar nuevos elementos de análisis sobre el consumo de alimentos, especialmente en aquellas regiones o ciudades donde tuvieron una mayor difusión. Las cooperativas de consumo distribuían alimentos básicos entre sus asociados, por lo que pudieron constituir un importante mecanismo de acceso a los alimentos en las primeras fases de la transición nutricional. En esta investigación se propone una primera aproximación a la evolución del cooperativismo de consumo en España entre mediados del sig…
Sublimazione e repressione: la crisi delle scienze europee e la musica barocca
2009
Dopo la Controriforma continua l'espansione e la sublimazione dell'eros, tipica del Rinascimento: fino al 1683 circa; quindi predomina la repressione dell'eros e lo sfruttamento delle energie vitali per la produzione industriale. Alla fluidità sonora della musica rinascimentale e barocca subentra improvvisamente la rigidezza sonora della musica dell'illuminismo e del rococò.
Emerging Adults’ Psychopathology in Seven Countries: The Impact of Identity-Related Risk Factors
2018
The impact of identity-related risk factors on psychopathology was analyzed in 2,113 emerging adults (M = 22.0 years; 66% female) from France, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Peru, Pakistan, and Poland. Identity stress, coping with identity stress, maternal parenting (support, psychological control, and anxious rearing), and psychopathology (internalizing, externalizing, and total symptomatology) were assessed. After partialing out the influence of stress, coping, and perceived maternal behavior, country did no longer exert a significant effect on symptom scores. The effect for gender remained, as did an interaction between country and gender. Rather unexpected, on average, males reported higher i…
How Individual Coping, Mental Health, and Parental Behavior Are Related to Identity Development in Emerging Adults in Seven Countries
2020
So far, there is a dearth of research comparing identity processes across cultures and its contributing factors. In this study, the association of individual and family factors with identity processes was analyzed in 2,113 emerging adults ( M = 22.0 years; 66% female) from France, Germany, Greece, Peru, Pakistan, Poland, and Turkey. Exploration and commitment levels were highest in non-Western countries like Peru, Turkey, and Pakistan, whereas emerging adults in France scored lowest in exploration and commitment and reported highest levels in identity distress, internalizing/externalizing symptoms, and identity diffusion. Identity distress, coping with identity distress, parental behavior,…
Work and Love During Emerging Adulthood
2013
Emerging adults engage in greater experimentation in the areas of work and love, and the transitions to work and the establishment of firm partnerships are characterized by fluctuations, discontinuities, and reversals. Whereas earlier studies on emerging adults have examined the separate effects of work and relationship, in this special section 5 studies were presented which examined these two transitions simultaneously by using a longitudinal design to account for the reciprocal influences and the long-term effects on health outcomes. In addition, methodological concerns when investigating the reciprocal influences and dependencies between love and work were raised and a cross-cultural pe…
Differences in agency? How adolescents from 18 countries perceive and cope with their futures
2012
This study investigated how N = 5,126 adolescents (mean age of 15 years) from 18 countries perceive and cope with future- and school-related stress. The adolescents completed the Problem Questionnaire (PQ), which assesses stress, and the Coping Across Situations Questionnaire (CASQ), which assesses three coping styles (reflection/support-seeking, emotional outlet, and withdrawal/denial). Across countries, adolescents reported considerably higher levels of future-related stress than school-related stress. The adolescents actively coped with stressors in both domains and seldom relied on emotional outlet or withdrawal/denial. A clustering of the countries according to socioeconomic criteria …
All they need is love? Placing romantic stress in the context of other stressors: A 17-nation study
2010
The present study focuses on romantic stress and coping styles in the context of identity and future-related stressors in 8,654 adolescents with a mean age of M = 15.3; SD = 1.84. The adolescents from 17 countries were grouped into seven regions, i.e., Mid-Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, South Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Future-related stressors were perceived as being more stressful than romantic stressors by all adolescents, irrespective of the region in which they lived. Identity-related stressors were of greater concern to adolescents from South Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Romantic stress was much higher in adolescents from Mid-…
