Family Relationships and Cyberbullying
2015
This chapter analyzes the relationship between family and cyberbullying, a type of technological harassment among peers which is of growing concern in the scientific community and in today’s society. First, this chapter discusses factors associated with family functioning that may predict cyberbullying, particularly the family climate (cohesion, expressivity, and conflict) and parent–children communication. It also examines the role of parental socialization styles and their continuity with parental styles on the Internet: authoritarian style, laissez-faire, permissive and authoritative. In relation to parental styles, one section in this chapter describes the parental monitoring of Interne…
Territoire et énergie : politiques locales, échelles d'intervention et instruments de mobilisation, de connaissance et d'action
2011
The thesis is about French local authorities' energy policies, and more particularly about regional policies. In a context of reassessment of fossil fuel-based energy systems, local authorities have a key role to play. Indeed, energy systems are complex and require to act locally, in order to keep fair access for consumers and to adapt supply to needs and uses. In the same way, environmental constraints and sustainable exploitation of local resources involve to have a good knowledge of territory and of local energy potential. But, local authorities do not know much about boundaries and about components of territorial energy systems. The main purpose of the thesis is to determine structure a…
Social rights of young people: The role of local and regional authorities
2020
En el marco de toda una serie de debates, resoluciones y otros instrumentos tendentes a fortalecer la integración, participación y compromiso de la juventud a nivel local y regional, este artículo pone el acento en los derechos sociales de los jóvenes garantizados por la Carta Social Europea. Subraya el papel esencial de los entes locales y regionales, en virtud de sus competencias en el ámbito social, para facilitar el acceso y el ejercicio efectivo de los derechos sociales por parte de los jóvenes; a tal efecto, se pone el énfasis en el cumplimiento de la Carta Social y su jurisprudencia como fuentes de inspiración para la acción local y regional en este terreno. El artículo hace un llama…
Interrelation Between European Union Protection and National Protection
2014
In addition to registration requirements, registration procedure, and the protection of registered IGOs, namely PDOs and PGIs, as well as protected indications of origin (within the Aromatised Wines Regulation), the EU law on IGOs also includes the regulation of other aspects. Competence of state institutions of EU Member States to ensure the observance of the regulation of IGOs as it is provided in the EU law or interrelation with other EU legal acts relating to IGOs already discussed in Part II of this book should be mentioned among such aspects.
Left-Authoritarians and Voter Turnout in West European Countries
2017
Parties with a left profile on economic issues and an authoritarian profile on socio-cultural issues have been largely absent from the supply side of the typical post-World-War-II policy space of West European democracies. As a result, citizens with economically left and socio-culturally authoritarian policy positions have faced difficulties in identifying parties that match their preference bundle. Building on previous inquiries into the party preferences of left-authoritarians, this study hypothesizes that the cross-pressures left-authoritarians typically encounter when looking for a party that matches their preferences translate into an overall lower likelihood to turn out to vote in nat…
Faster chiral versus collinear magnetic order recovery after optical excitation revealed by femtosecond XUV scattering
2020
While chiral spin structures stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) are candidates as novel information carriers, their dynamics on the fs-ps timescale is little known. Since with the bulk Heisenberg exchange and the interfacial DMI two distinct exchange mechanisms are at play, the ultra-fast dynamics of the chiral order needs to be ascertained and compared to the dynamics of the conventional collinear order. Using an XUV free-electron laser we determine the fs-ps temporal evolution of the chiral order in domain walls in a magnetic thin film sample by an IR pump - X-ray magnetic scattering probe experiment. Upon demagnetisation we observe that the dichroic (CL-CR) signal conn…
Monitoring resource consumption and anthropogenic substances in the EU and Latvia
2011
PurposeThe aim of this paper is to assess how the indicator sets presently used to monitor sustainable development in the European Union (EU) and Latvia reflect resource consumption and the production and use of anthropogenic substances.Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted by analyzing different sources as well as statistical information on development character in Latvia and human impact at first in respect to use of chemicals.FindingsMany of the analyzed sustainable development indicators related to resource consumption interpret a reduction in consumption as a negative phenomena and thus contradictory to sustainability. The only relevant EU and Latvian indicator related to …
Do as the Romans do: On the authoritarian roots of pseudoscience
2020
Recent research highlights the implications of group dynamics in the acceptance and promotion of misconceptions, particularly in relation to the identity-protective attitudes that boost polarisation over scientific information. In this study, we successfully test a mediational model between right-wing authoritarianism and pseudoscientific beliefs. First, we carry out a comprehensive literature review on the socio-political background of pseudoscientific beliefs. Second, we conduct two studies (n=1189 and n=1097) to confirm our working hypotheses: H1 – intercorrelation between pseudoscientific beliefs, authoritarianism and three axioms (reward for application, religiosity and fate control); …
Pandemia e capitalismo del XXI secolo. Gestione securitaria della crisi tra individualizzazione neoliberista e ristrutturazione delle forze produttive
2020
Il contributo propone una riflessione sul Sars-Cov-2 quale epifenomeno del modo di produzione capitalistico ed in particolare della sua fase neoliberista. La pandemia, accelerando dinamiche e contraddizioni del capitale già preesistenti, è indubbiamente correlata agli aspetti più predatori del modo di produzione capitalistico, particolarmente nei confronti della natura e della biodiversità. Il saggio cerca anche di far riflettere su altri due aspetti emersi durante la pandemia: la gestione della pandemia, non solo in termini sanitari, è profondamente legata ai processi di individualizzazione, visti quali esiti delle trasformazioni sociali indotte dal neoliberismo; inoltre, il modo in cui si…
The mothering of conduct problem and normal children in Spain and the USA: authoritarian and permissive asynchrony.
2005
Ninety-two clinic-referred and nonclinical mother-child dyads in Spain and the USA were observed in their home settings under naturalistic conditions for a total of 477 hours. Children in the clinic-referred dyads were considered troubled because of conduct problems. The observations were aimed at assessing two forms of mother-child asynchrony, either of which was expected to differentiate clinic referred from nonclinical dyads. Authoritarian asynchrony was defined as a mother's indiscriminate use of aversive reactions to her child, whereas the permissive form entailed indiscriminate positive reactions. Results showed the American mothers to generate more permissive asynchrony, whereas the …
