The quality of life in urban areas: mobility and social exclusion.
2012
The social exclusion is described as the process that progressively marginalizes individuals, groups and communities from the labor market and from the access to basic services for health, education and transport. The ability to access to (in a spatial sense of the term) the job, the education, the health services and other services is a key factor of social inclusion. Accessibility is important, not only because facilitates the achievement of a regular job, stable and profitable, but also because it is part of the social capital, the latter ensures the social relationships that form a safety margin of the poor people. Accessibility is increasingly recognized as a key element of a sustainab…
Loudness Perceptions Influence Feelings of Interpersonal Closeness and Protect Against Detrimental Psychological Effects of Social Exclusion.
2021
We propose that perceptions of auditory loudness and interpersonal closeness are bidirectionally related. Across 12 experiments (total N = 2,219; 10 preregistered; with Singaporean, British, U.S. American, and Australian participants), we demonstrated that louder audio made people feel physically (Study 1a) and socially (Study 1b) closer to others, presumably because loudness activates interpersonal closeness-related concepts implicitly (Studies 1c and 1d). This loudness–interpersonal closeness effect was observed across diverse samples (Studies 2a, 3a, and S1), for longer listening intervals (Study 2b), and in natural settings (Studies 3a and 3b). Conversely, individuals made to feel soci…
Covariates of Subjective well-being among Latin American immigrants in Spain: the role of social integration in the community
2011
The aim of this study is to test the influence that social integration in the community might have on subjective well-being (SWB) beyond the influence of sociodemographic characteristics, self-esteem, stressful life events, and social support from intimate and confidant relationships. We explore this set of relationships among Latin American immigrants in Spain, a group at risk of social exclusion. Results show a positive and statistically significant relationship between social integration and SWB, after controlling for the statistical effects of the other variables. Promoting social integration in the community among immigrant population might grant them access to wider community resource…
Social disorder, social integration, and subjective well-being among Latin-American immigrants in Spain
2012
Social integration has consistently shown its positive effects on both physical and psychological well-being. The study of the influence of residential characteristics on both social integration and well-being, however, has been traditionally neglected. The present study analyzes the joint influence of both social disorder and social integration on the subjective well-being of 260 Latin-American immigrants living in the Valencian Community (Spain). Results show that levels of social disorder negatively influence both social integration and subjective well-being. These findings might orientate public policies that seek to improve the well-being of especially disadvantaged groups at risk of s…
Sport and social integration in images: sporting women against exclusion
2013
El deporte puede convertirse en un medio para mejorar las condiciones de vida de colectivos vulnerables. Si se integra en un proyecto de intervención con estos grupos, puede aportar un buen número de ventajas, desde las propias sensaciones placenteras por su práctica, hasta las ventajas más relacionadas con el crecimiento del capital social o de hábitos saludables y mejora de la forma física. En el artículo, se exponen algunos resultados de una investigación en la que se ha estudiado cómo se puede utilizar el deporte con mujeres en situaciones de riesgo de exclusión, cuáles son sus problemas de cara a la práctica deportiva, qué es lo que esta les puede aportar, cómo se podría desarrollar un…

Il dibattito internazionale e la (ri)appropriazione locale del confronto sugli spazi autonomi
2014
Da alcuni decenni ormai, le pratiche di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree in disuso hanno fatto emergere esperienze interessanti, nelle principali città europee (e non solo) e in maniera significativa in alcune tra le più importanti città italiane. Un rinnovato interesse per questi temi ha dato vita, in particolare negli ultimi anni, a una serie di analisi teoriche oggi di riferimento per il dibattito internazionale. In questo contesto sembra oggi più che mai necessario introdurre autori e riferimenti internazionali per legittimare un confronto accademico su temi di pianificazione radicale come quello che riguarda il “diritto all’appropriazione” (Lefebv…

Phase Distribution Chromatography (PDC) of Polystyrene
1971
Abstract Phase distribution chromatography is a new chromatographic method of fractionating polymers. The separation is achieved by partitioning the sample between the solvent and a polymer phase, in the case a noncross-linked polystyrene of very high molecular weight, which is coated as a thin layer on small glass beads. The temperature must be held below the θ-temperature of the sample. The separation increases sharply with decreasing temperature. The theory of this method is presented and compared with experimental results. The agreement is very good.
Immediate effects of the respiratory stimulation on ventilation parameters in ischemic stroke survivors: A randomized interventional study (CONSORT).
2019
Background: Post-stroke brain damage, which affects the central control of respiration, leads to various respiratory disorders. They can be caused by the weakening of the respiratory muscles and chest movements, which can indirectly contribute to an impairment of the ventilation function. The aim of the study is an objective assessment of the effect of a single-session intervention of respiratory stimulation through Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on chosen respiratory parameters and the following comparison of these changes with a group in which positioning was used (intra- and intergroup comparison). Methods: This was a randomized interventional study evaluating the respir…
