Driver stress in five Spanish-speaking countries: Construct validity of the LatinSET
2020
Abstract Introduction Driver stress is a phenomenon many have studied in probably all five continents. It has been the focus of curiosity for all sorts of disciplines, and science has been unable to curb it, much less park it. Objectives This study aims to generate a unique scale that can be used in Spanish speaking countries regardless of culture or geography. Method and Materials A sample of 1954 drivers from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Chile and Spain was comprised. Through this study, the original 21 items of the ISET (Stressful Situations in Transit Inventory, in Spanish) were used to carry out both an Exploratory Factorial Analysis as well as a Confirmatory Factorial Analysis. Resu…
Why Comparative Research on the Middle Years?
2018
Anyone who has recently stepped into a middle years’ classroom knows all too well the truth of this portrait—the lived experience of learners in our schools today. Early adolescents are truly a unique group of learners, like none other a teacher might experience—a group that will at one moment test a teacher’s mettle and the very next bring so much elation and reward that a teacher might even question how they could ever think of working with another age group. This is the appeal and the true curiosity behind the early adolescent learner and is the heart of what we will present to you in this book.

Critical evaluation of the Obscure Figures Test as an instrument for measuring "cognitive innovation".
1977
The Obscure Figures Test has been conceptualized by Acker and McReynolds (1965) as a measure of Cognitive Innovation. As a general concept Cognitive Innovation refers to an integration of different kinds of behavioral systems, e.g., creativity and exploratory behavior. Considering recent research about the relationship between curiosity and creativity as well as basic assumptions underlying this test, it is hypothesized that this is an instrument for measuring creativity rather than curiosity. 41 boys and 41 girls ranging from 7 to 10 yr. of age were given a battery of tests of curiosity and creativity. There were significant correlations between Obscure Figures Test and creativity measure…
From the Knowledge Creating Process to the Knowledge Creating Outcome: The Way to go for Multinational Corporations
2017
Continuous creation of new knowledge is an activity that is said to enable organizations gain competitive advantage in their operations. However, apart from a few studies that have generated a trail of similar studies on this subject, there remains a shortage of research on how the activity is to be coordinated from input to outcome phase for maximum benefit. This paper presents a proposal to study the knowledge creation activity with a focus on Multinational Corporations and builds on the characteristics of the knowledge creation activity: knowledge creating input (the means used to generate new knowledge); knowledge creating output (the result of the knowledge creating process); and the k…
Una ciencia admirable: filosofía y admiración en Descartes
2021
RESUMEN Aunque Descartes pretende hablar de cuestiones morales en general, y de las pasiones en particular, como si nadie hubiera escrito antes sobre ellas, lo cierto es que, en el caso de la admiración, es clara su referencia al mundo antiguo. En concreto, en este caso el pensador francés se sitúa críticamente en contra de la postura aristotélica, que entiende la admiración como el inicio de la filosofía. Frente a la propuesta clásica, que convierte dicha emoción en el motor permanente de la investigación de las primeras causas, para Descartes la curiosidad excesiva y el estupor del asombro son rechazables. No obstante, algunos han señalado el carácter ambivalente de las declaraciones cart…

radioterapia para el tratamiento del cáncer en la publicidad de principios del s. XX
2021
El descubrimiento de los rayos X y del radium generó gran curiosidad entre los científicos. Ambos elementos representaban la cura milagrosa que podría tratar una amplia gama de enfermedades mortales, como el cáncer, pudiendo llegar a colmar las expectativas de la población. El objetivo de dicho artículo es analizar las inserciones publicitarias relativas al radium y los rayos X aplicadas para el tratamiento del cáncer, en la prensa española a comienzos del siglo XX (1903-1912), en los periódicos ABC y La Vanguardia. Para ello, a partir de la hemeroteca digital de ambos medios se seleccionaron todas y cada una de las veces que se pudo identificar el término “cáncer” en los anuncios publicita…
La dynastie Beurdeley (1818-1895) : entre boutique et atelier. Une histoire du commerce des curiosités et de la création d’objets d’art au XIXe siècle
2019
The Beurdeley dynasty was established in Paris from 1818 to 1895. They were active in the trade of "curiosities" (as antiques were then described) but they also founded a workshop for the manufacture of furniture and gilt bronzes. The study of their business reveals the increasing value devoted to curiosities, the consumption and the circulation of works of art, both antique and modern, the trade and the workshop practices throughout the nineteenth century. The dual activity of dealer and manufacturer is significant and exposes the correlations between the commerce, the development of the taste for old objects following the intense circulation of merchandises triggered by the Revolution, an…
