Burnout as an important factor in the psychophysiological responses to a work day in Teachers
2010
Burnout syndrome is an important psychosocial risk in the job context, especially in professions with a strong social interaction, as in the case of teaching. This study analyses the role of burnout in the psychophysiological responses to a work day in teachers. High burnout was related to worse mood, and higher perceived stress throughout the work day. Moreover, burnout is positively related to systolic blood pressure and negatively related to salivary cortisol levels at the beginning of the work day. Higher scores of burnout in teachers are also related to lower heart rate in the middle of the work day. The psychophysiological responses to a work day are specifically associated with the d…
Scientific Opinion on an application by Syngenta (EFSA-GMO-DE-2009-66) for placing on the market of herbicide tolerant and insect resistant maize Bt1…
2015
Question number: EFSA-Q-2009-00444 on request from Competent Authority of Germany; The EFSA GMO Panel previously assessed the four single events combined to produce a four-event stack maize Bt11 × MIR162 × MIR604 × GA21 and did not identify safety concerns. In this opinion, the EFSA GMO Panel assesses the four-event stack maize and all its subcombinations independently of their origin. No new data on the single events, leading to modification of the original conclusions on their safety, were identified. The molecular, agronomic, phenotypic and compositional data on the four-event stack maize did not give rise to safety concerns and there is no reason to expect interactions between the singl…
Identidad y naturaleza humana desde una perspectiva neuroteológica fundamental
2015
Las neurociencias se presentan como un campo de investigación capaz de revolucionar el pensamiento actual. Su influencia es tal que se deja sentir en todos los saberes y disciplinas. Al mismo tiempo están dando paso a nuevas disciplinas que antes resultaban poco probables. Entre otras ha surgido la neuropolítica, la neuroeducación, la neuroética y también la neuroteología. Esta última disciplina intenta combinar los resultados que las neurociencias aportan acerca del funcionamiento de nuestro sistema nervioso con el conocimiento teológico contextual surgido tras el Concilio Vaticano II. Una de sus áreas de interés es la posibilidad de describir neurocientíficamente aquello que es la concien…

Darba teorētisko bāzi veido sociālās atmiņas, nacionālās identitātes, rituālkomunikācijas, komemorācijas un mediju notikuma teorētiskās pieejas. Promocijas darba empīriskās daļas izstrādei ar kvantitatīvās kontentanalīzes palīdzību apkopotas un sistematizētas vairāk nekā 1100 Atmodas notikumiem veltītas preses publikācijas un 350 speciālveltījumi sabiedriskās televīzijas kanālā LTV1 un sabiedriskā radio kanālā LR1 laika posmā no 1988. l…
Internacionalización y posicionamiento de las revistas españolas de psicología
2019
Se presentan los resultados del análisis de la difusión y circulación del número de revistas españolas en diferentes bases de datos, nacionales e internacionales. Para ello se realiza un estudio de las revistas que contienen las principales bases de datos bibliográficas hasta el año 2017. El aumento de la presencia de revistas españolas de psicología en las diferentes bases de datos es un indicador que determina el crecimiento y la madurez de esta disciplina y aporta una visión interesante de la actividad científica en psicología y su situación en el contexto internacional. Se muestra que las políticas de estado y las campañas de posicionamiento de universidades, asociaciones…
Tradycyjny instytucjonalizm i jego znaczenie dla nauk politycznych
2015
The paper presents academic achievements of traditional institutionalism, the first scientific approach in political science, which was developed since the second part of the 19th century in USA, Great Britain, Germany and France. The author argues that this orientation had a creative influence on the progress of the discipline, however this impact is not appreciated by contemporary studies in the field of political science and political theory where limited understanding of the old institutionalism is promoted. The revision of this state of affairs has shown that, apart from the analysis of formal structures and institutions of state power, the traditionalists also have studied political p…
Time Unification on Local Binary Patterns Three Orthogonal Planes for Facial Expression Recognition
2019
International audience; Machine learning has known a tremendous growth within the last years, and lately, thanks to that, some computer vision algorithms started to access what is difficult or even impossible to perceive by the human eye. While deep learning based computer vision algorithms have made themselves more and more present in the recent years, more classical feature extraction methods, such as the ones based on Local Binary Patterns (LBP), still present a non negligible interest, especially when dealing with small datasets. Furthermore, this operator has proven to be quite useful for facial emotions and human gestures recognition in general. Micro-Expression (ME) classification is…
European Career Development – A Challenge for European Human Resource Management
2013
Abstract European career development should be a challenge for each of us. Current situations, the European economic context, technological evolution, the opening of European labor market are allowing people to a higher mobility concerning personal career. Thus, the development of a European career can be a challenge for each of us, depending on personal choices and on the context and development of each person's life. Is European career a better solution for individual development? Is that professional perfection for each person? These are questions that I will try to answer in this study.

Global Communication with Icons : Hotel Safety as an Environmental Context
2015
Icons are small signs with fixed meanings. Icons are usually context specific. For example in the context of a hotel, the client can often find icons in hotel room books and safety guides. Scandic Hotel chain, for example, currently provides the manual for its safety system in 14 languages. There are at least two major shortcomings of this system: (1) in emergency or panic situations, it is very difficult to find your own language from the leaflet, and (2) there are no Asian languages. There is an obvious need for a global icon-based hotel safety language. In our paper, we introduce an icon-based model, language and mobile application for hotel safety. peerReviewed
