La industria del cómic en España: radiografía de ¿un mito o una realidad?

2011

In spite of the importance of figures referred to published titles, or number of copies printed, which help to set publishing strategies and to really know the comic situation in Spain, there are no liable data. We are giving in this article, some enlightening data along with some explanations related to the evolution of the market from 2001 to 2009. The different titles are grouped considering the place they come from (Europe, Asia, United States…), along with their format (album, book, magazine, comic-book…). Using all this information, we can deduce evolution lines, tendencies, futures perspectives in an industry that, despite its precariousness, is facing an increasing number of copies …

Being positive, being hopeful, being happy : young adults reflecting on their future in times of austerity

2020

The aim of this article is to analyse the ways in which young adults reflect on their futures. We are particularly interested in how they expect to organize their lives in conditions that seem to offer pessimistic rather than hopeful prospects. How does this happen under social conditions where the major public and individual concerns are with how young adults organize their material lives and how they earn sufficient livelihoods to become good citizens? What are the grounds for their future visions? In our analysis we use 40 interviews with young Finnish adults aged between 18 and 30. The respondents are students, as well as employed and unemployed young adults. Our findings show that the…

Prorockie ujęcie czasu Izraela - perspektywa Księgi Ezechiela

2019

Artykuł ukazuje specyficzne rozumienie czasu przez proroków na przykładzie Ezechiela, który pełnił swoją misję stróża pośród zesłańców (gola) w czasie niewoli babilońskiej w VI w. przed Chr. Jego zadaniem było przygotowanie Izraela na czas odnowy, który miał być dziełem Jahwe. Prorok na teraźniejszość, przeszłość i przyszłość patrzy wyłącznie z perspektywy relacji Jahwe – Izrael. Z jego wypowiedzi wyraziście wyłaniają się trzy etapy dziejów narodu, każdemu z nich poświęca osobną uwagę. Takie podejście proroka do dziejów narodu zadecydowało o podziale niniejszego artykułu na trzy punkty: 1. Czas teraźniejszy Izraela (wygnanie), 2. Czas dawnego Izraela, 3. Czas nowego Izraela. Objawienie się …

Toward a Theory of Information Systems Security Behaviors of Organizational Employees: A Dialectical Process Perspective

2019

Practice-/policy-oriented abstract: Understanding why employees do or do not comply with information systems security (ISS) procedures is an imperative in today’s organizations whose futures often depend on how well they protect and harness information assets. We use a predominantly inductive approach to develop a theoretical understanding of how employees’ reasons for engaging to ISS behaviors (ISSBs) change over time, using ideas from dialectics as our scaffolding. Our dialectical view of this process suggests that explanations for engaging in different ISSBs change over time as individuals seek to balance contradictory demands. Furthermore, our view suggests that new experiences and ext…

INDIVIDUAL FUTURE ORIENTATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS PREDICTING LIFE SATISFACTION

2017

This study explored a model of prediction of life satisfaction by individual future orientation (FO) and demographic factors. Individual views of the future and goals are closely associated with well-being. Theories of FO represent different approaches to its conceptualization. Following Seginer (2009), this study presents a combination of motivational, cognitive, and behavioral components of FO. Participants were 130 females and 75 males from 18 to 49. A new measure of individual FO (the Individual Future Orientation Scale, IFOS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) were used for the assessment. The results of structural equation modeling demon…

Hybrid Engagement: Discourses and Scenarios of Entrepreneurial Journalism

2018

Although the challenge posed by social media and the participatory turn concerns culture and values at the very heart of journalism, journalists have been reluctant to adopt participatory values and practices. To encourage audience participation and to offer journalism that is both trustworthy and engaging, journalists of the future may embrace a hybrid practice of journalistic objectivity and audience-centred dialogue. As innovative and experimental actors, entrepreneurial journalism outlets can perform as forerunners of such a culture. By analysing discourses in the “About Us” pages of 41 entrepreneurial journalism outlets, the article examines the emerging journalistic ethos of entrepren…

Paleoclimate and bubonic plague: a forewarning of future risk?

2010

Background Human cases of plague (Yersinia pestis) infection originate, ultimately, in the bacterium's wildlife host populations. The epidemiological dynamics of the wildlife reservoir therefore determine the abundance, distribution and evolution of the pathogen, which in turn shape the frequency, distribution and virulence of human cases. Earlier studies have shown clear evidence of climatic forcing on contemporary plague abundance in rodents and humans. Results We find that high-resolution palaeoclimatic indices correlate with plague prevalence and population density in a major plague host species, the great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus), over 1949-1995. Climate-driven models trained on these…

Physical methods to promote drug delivery on mucosal tissues of the oral cavity.

2013

Introduction: The successful of drug delivery through the mucosal tissue of the oral cavity represents a current challenge as well as a great future perspective. The need for more rapid onset of action and improved absorption of medications has resulted in great development of drug delivery technologies that use physical methods to overcome the barrier properties of oral mucosae. Areas covered: This review discusses the various physical techniques which have been, and are being, explored to sustain drug delivery in the oral cavity. In particular, supersaturation, eutectic formation, iontophoresis, electroporation, sonophoresis, laser radiation, photomechanical waves, and needleless injectio…
