2018
Christian religions are differ significantly in their approach to termination of marriage by means of divorce. The Orthodox Church, accepting the sacramental character of marriage, allows for divorce and agrees for marrying again. An important role in shaping of religious norms is played by the autocephalous system within the Church.

However, critics have lamented that these attempts often fail and that young people’s trust in institutions, brands, and organizations continues to decline. This article asks how young people perceive organizational listenin…
Job skill discretion and emotion control strategies as antecedents of recovery from work
2014
Recovery from work protects employees’ health and well-being, and therefore it is important to understand its antecedents. The aim of this study conducted among 183 middle-aged participants drawn from the Finnish Jyvaskyla Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development was to examine whether job skill discretion and emotion control strategies (emotional rumination and emotional inhibition) are related to psychological aspects of recovery from work (subjective recovery evaluation, psychological detachment and relaxation). The results of hierarchical general linear models confirmed the hypothesis that job skill discretion is positively associated with subjective recovery evaluation …

Victim Blaming and Recognition: Boundaries of Media Discourse on Gender Violence
2016
Dada la relevancia que se le ha otorgado a los medios de comunicación para combatir la violencia de género, el presente artículo trata de discutir las limitaciones que imprime el actual marco hegemónico de reconocimiento de la violencia de género para la actualización de un discurso mediático que profundice en la realidad del fenómeno y contribuya al cambio social. Se ha optado por una metodología cualitativa para poner en el centro de la investigación a los y las periodistas que elaboran, enmarcan y seleccionan las noticias de violencia de género. Se hicieron 17 entrevistas semiestructuradas y, a través del análisis del discurso, se analiza el proceso de interpelación a los sujetos de la v…
Face-to-Face with the Doctor Online: Phenomenological Analysis of Patient Experience of Teleconsultation.
2022
The global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has considerably accelerated the adoption of teleconsultation—a form of consultation between patient and health care professional that occurs via videoconferencing platforms. For this reason, it is important to investigate the way in which this form of interaction modifies the nature of the clinical encounter and the extent to which this modification impacts the healing process. For this purpose, I will refer to insights into the clinical encounter as a face-to-face encounter drawn from the phenomenology of medicine (R. Zaner, K. Toombs, E. Pellegrino). I will also take into account a criticism that has been expressed by various contemporary phenom…
Creating a new epistemiology for tourism and hospitality disciplines
2013
The present paper develops the need for an all-encompassing view of tourism, exploring the limitations of other previous approaches. Under the premise that tourism is associated to a dream-like sub-system which controls social and personal behaviour, it is hypothesised that a new methodology of understanding tourism from a cross-cultural point of view, rather than purely a Western point of view, is needed. Our thesis is that there is not one unique definition of tourism, but many definitions, adjusted to the requirements of each society, and demanding a new systemic dialogue involving economics, religion, politics and security. This is an inter-linguistic effort to link the most representat…
