Bifactor analysis and construct validity of the five facet mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ) in non-clinical Spanish samples
2015
The objective of the present study was to examine the dimensionality, reliability, and construct validity of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) in three Spanish samples using structural equation modeling (SEM). Pooling the FFMQ data from 3 Spanish samples (n = 1191), we estimated the fit of two competing models (correlated five-factor vs. bifactor) via confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial invariance of the best fitting model across meditative practice was also addressed. The pattern of relationships between the FFMQ latent dimensions and anxiety, depression, and distress was analyzed using SEM. FFMQ reliability was examined by computing the omega and omega hierarchical c…
L'évolution de la représentation des catastrophes naturelles en Méditerranée à travers la peinture. L'exemple des éruptions volcaniques en Italie aux…
2011
La Méditerranée est l'une des régions du globe les plus exposées au risque sismique du fait de deux continents qui s'y affrontent, l'Europe et l'Afrique. Toutefois, les pays de la Méditerranée occidentale sont inégalement soumis au risque sismique, tant en ce qui concerne le nombre de tremblements de terre que leur impact sur la vulnérabilité humaine. Au palmarès des principaux séismes depuis l'an mille arrivent l'Italie, suivie de loin par l'Espagne, puis par la France continentale. L'Italie étant un pays où les volcans actifs sont nombreux (on peut citer l'Etna, le Vésuve, le Stromboli ou encore Vulcano), nous nous intéresserons à l'iconographie des éruptions volcaniques italiennes aux XV…
The trouble with vulnerability. Narrating ageing during the COVID-19 pandemic
2023
In this paper, we have used the exceptional circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic as a window for investigating the ambivalent, stereotypical and often-incongruent portrayals of exceptional vulnerability and resilient self-management that define the self-constructions available for older adults. From the onset of the pandemic, older adults were publicly and homogenously presented as a biomedically vulnerable population, and the implementation of restrictive measures also raised concerns over their psychosocial vulnerability and wellbeing. Meanwhile, the key political responses to the pandemic in most affluent countries aligned with the dominant paradigms of successful and active ag…
The role of social work in disaster management in Finland
2017
This study explores the role of social work in disaster management in Finland and its relation to international disaster social work discussions. The aim is to obtain information on the role of social work in disasters in Finland and to conceptualize disaster social work to understand it better. The framework of disaster social work interventions and the concepts of vulnerability, resilience and social capital are used in analyzing and conceptualizing the role. The methods used are integrative literature review, quantitative document analysis, and statistical analysis of the survey. Municipal social services’ preparedness plan documents and survey data of private social care units’ prepared…
Effects of E-Cigarette Exposure on Prenatal Life and Childhood Respiratory Health: A Review of Current Evidence
2021
In the last decade, widespread use of E-cigarettes (EC) has occurred all over the world. Whereas, a large amount of evidence on harm to children from conventional cigarette exposure is available, data on health effects in this population throughout different vulnerability windows are still a matter of concern. Exposure to EC during pregnancy may compromise placental function, resulting in fetal structural abnormalities. Specifically, this may cause physio-pathologic changes in the developing lung, which in turn may impair respiratory health later in life. Furthermore, there is evidence that using EC can cause both short- and long-term respiratory problems in the pediatric population and the…
Measuring Vulnerability in the Food System
2015
Food system vulnerability is an emerging concept for food security policies and food supply chain management. Hence, measuring food system vulnerability is necessary for developing appropriate food security policies and managing food supply chain vulnerabilities. In this paper, we aim to clarify the development process of food system vulnerability indicators. We conducted an abducted qualitative content analysis based on public documents of various Finnish organizations, including ministries and administration, interest organizations, NGOs, food sector enterprises, and a church. We analysed the engagement level of various organizations in food security and identified vulnerability aspects i…
Propiedades psicométricas de la versión española de la escala Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS)
2012
La Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) es una escala sencilla y de rápida administración que evalúa, de forma global, la capacidad disposicional de un individuo de estar atento y consciente de la experiencia del momento presente en la vida cotidiana. La escala es un autoinfome unifactorial de 15 ítems con visión del constructo mindfulness centrada en la variable atención/consciencia. El instrumento puede ser utilizado en sujetos con o sin experiencia en meditación y es ampliamente utilizado en investigación. Con el objetivo de establecer las propiedades psicométricas de la MAAS, se administró a un total de 385 sujetos, 201 pertenecientes a una muestra clínica y 184 a una muestra contro…
Uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes sindroma ietekme uz skolas uzvedību un sociālajām prasmēm skolas vecuma bērniem
2019
Mūsdienu klasēs, daudzi pedagogi saskaras ar „ārpus kontroles bērniem”. Bērniem, kuriem ir uzmanības deficīts vai hiperaktivitātes sindroms (turpmāk tekstā UDHS), ir neiroloģiski traucējumi, kas ietekmē viņu spēju kontrolēt savu uzvedību un pievērst uzmanību uzdevumiem. Bērni ar UDHS rada īpašu iedzīvotāju grupu ar dažādām vajadzībām izglītības vidē. Izpētītajā pētījumā, tika pievērsta uzmanība uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes traucējumiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt un analizēt dažādas pieejas UDHS, kas saistītas ar problēmām ar vidusskolēniem. Literatūras pārskatā aplūkotās tēmas, ietver dažādas teorijas un kopīgas intervences, ņemot vērā UDHS. Šajā darbā, tika izmantota kvalitatī…
Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs
2015
Effective ecosystem-based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how threats affect different components within ecosystems and ultimately alter ecosystem functioning. We used a case study of a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) food web and expert knowledge elicitation in an application of the initial steps of a framework for assessment of cumulative human impacts on food webs. We produced a conceptual seagrass food web model, determined the main trophic relationships, identified the main threats to the fo…
