Socio-economic differentiation in the post-communist rural Baltics : the case of three kolkhozes
2016
ABSTRACTThis paper uses longitudinal quantitative data to examine socio-economic differentiation in the rural Baltic areas after decollectivization. It argues that the rural social structure in the post-Soviet Baltics is best determined by two criteria: source of income (income from farming entrepreneurship or income from salaries) and land holdings. Four rural groups are identified: people getting their main income from farming can be differentiated into large landowners engaged in the commercial production of agricultural goods and people with small or medium-sized farms; and people earning their main income from wages can be separated into people with no farming activities and people who…

Ejército y televisión: del abuso mediático de un poder fáctico, al fatídico poder de la imagen televisiva
2015
The authorities have quickly developed a keen interest in television. The army, in particular, used it in order to build and promote its image in Spanish society. In spite of, the army doesn’t succeed to finish with its traditional isolation, neither to put to stop to its bad reputation. Indeed, the Spanish television emphasized the melodramatic dimension and the menacing presence of the army. The television shots of the attempted to coup d’état of February 23rd 1981 enabled that media to break with its propagandist function and to put a stop to the illusion according to which the past had been forgotten forever.
Physical activity using social media during the COVID-19 pandemic: the perceptions of sports science students
2021
Abstract During the period of the COVID-19 lockdown, sports organizations and companies had to look for new ways to connect with their customers by offering physical activity (PA) alternatives to do at home. This study explores the perceptions of 175 undergraduate sports science students regarding their social media (SM) and PA patterns during the first Spanish COVID-19 lockdown period (March to May 2020). From their homes, the students completed an ad hoc online questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software to perform descriptive and inferential analysis (t-test). The results show that the participants used SM during the COVID-19 lockdown to visualize or practice PA, percei…

The lay historian explains intergroup behavior: Examining the role of identification and cognitive structuring in ethnocentric historical attributions
2017
Both historians and lay people attempt to explain national histories. However, psychological research, to date, focused predominantly on the patterns of those explanations with regard to negative historical behaviors. In this article, we assess ethnocentrism of people’s explanations of both negative and positive historical behavior of ingroup members (own nation) and outgroup members (other nation). Two studies analyze how Poles explain crimes and heroic acts committed in the General Government, as well as diverse behaviors during the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The studies confirm an ethnocentric pattern of explanation: positive historical actions of ingroup members we…
Physico-Geographical Mesoregions of Poland: verification and adjustment of boundaries on the basis of contemporary spatial Data
2018
The programme of identification, cataloguing and evaluation of Polish landscapes, part of the implementation of the European Landscape Convention, has caused an increase in interest in physico-geographical regionalisation over recent years. The commonly accepted regionalisation of Poland developed by J. Kondracki (Kondracki & Richling 1994) is sufficient for work at an overview scale (e.g. 1:500,000), whereas its spatial accuracy is too low to make use of it for the purpose of Polish landscape cataloguing. The aim of this article is to present a more up-to-date and detailed division of Poland into mesoregions, adjusted to the 1:50,000 scale. In comparison with older work, the number of meso…
Elderly woman in films. An evaluation to the filmic projects
2016
La presencia de las mujeres en el cine tanto delante como detrás de la cámara es escasa; y esto ocurre más todavía en el caso de las mujeres mayores. Con una mirada de género desde la Gerontología hemos realizado una selección y posterior evaluación de las películas estrenadas entre 1960 y 2015 en las que el protagonismo o co-protagonismo fuese de una mujer mayor de 55 años, obteniendo un total de 63 películas. Con la información obtenida al utilizar una hoja de registro y análisis, se realizó un análisis de contenido que dio lugar a diferentes categorías temáticas y subcategorías. Los resultados muestran que son muy escasas las películas cuya trama argumental gira en torno a mujeres mayore…
