Redefining habits and linking habits with other implicit processes
2019
In their commentaries on Hagger (2019), Gardner, Rebar, and Lally (2019) and Phillips (2019) provide welcome debate on the conceptualization and operation of habits in physical activity. In this response, I extend their comments by (i) calling for a redefining of habits to encompass contemporary views of habit, and (ii) suggesting that descriptions of physical activity habits should make reference to their relations with other implicit constructs that reflect automatic processes. Specifically, I contend that extant definitions of habits for complex behaviors like physical activity should move away from definitions of unitary responses to specific cues or contexts, and, focus on ‘macro’ expr…
La construcción del concepto autónomo de residencia habitual del menor en los supuestos de sustracción internacional de menores = The construction of…
2019
Resumen: La concreción de la residencia habitual del menor en los supuestos de sustracción internacional de menores ha resultado especialmente problemática por varias razones. En primer lugar por las interpretaciones divergentes que se han dado en los diferentes ordenamientos jurídicos y, en segundo término, por plantearse de manera especialmente delicada en estos supuestos en los que concurre la sustracción internacional de menores. Y, finalmente y a mayor abundamiento, por la ausencia de un concepto de residencia habitual del menor en la normativa reguladora. Probablemente, la necesidad de concretarlo, en aras al principio del interés superior del menor, en atención a criterios fácticos q…
Who turns to entrepreneurship later in life? - Push and pull in Finnish rural and urban areas
2014
Age is an important factor in entrepreneurship. The paths into entrepreneurship at a later age may be varied. Self-employment in later life may be either a form of partial retirement or a career option. Older individuals may also be pushed into self-employment. The focus of this paper is on the career choices of older individuals and their background motivations in Finland. The purpose is to analyse the factors and motives in terms of the push and pull dichotomy that lead individuals to enter self-employment at older ages in different types of labour markets in Finland, viz., rural and urban areas. Although some studies have focused on transitions to self-employment among older workers, que…

Parental education associations with children's body composition: Mediation effects of energy balance-related behaviors within the ENERGY-project

Mediation in Spain: Novelties Derived from the Boost of the European Legislator
2015
This paper seeks to analyse the Act 5/2012, of 6 July of mediation in civil and commercial matters, which has resulted in the definite incorporation to the Spanish legal system of Directive 2008/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008. This law intends to enhance the access to mediation as a way of dispute resolution between private parties, which, while it had been already in practice in some Autonomous Communities in certain matters, lacked of a specific normative body to regulate it. The law is certainly limited in regulating certain aspects of mediation, whereas in some other aspects it still raises some concerns. All of these questions are to be examined in t…
Is Complexity of Daily Activity Associated with Physical Function and Life Space Mobility among Older Adults?
2022
Purpose Information about mobility, and physical function may be encoded in the complexity of daily activity pattern. Therefore, daily activity pattern complexity metrics could provide novel insight regarding the relationship between daily activity behaviour and health. The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between the complexity of daily activity behaviour, and mobility and physical function among community-dwelling older adults aged 75, 80, and 85 years-of-age. Methods A total of 309 participants wore accelerometers concurrently on the thigh and the trunk for at least 3 consecutive days.

El uso de relatos bíblicos constituye un recurso habitual dentro de la técnica compositiva del himnógrafo bizantino Romano Melodo. Por ello, en este artículo se pretende analizar la acomodación de un episodio concreto del Antiguo Testamento (Dn 3) a lo largo del corpus atribuido Romano y se cotejan los diferentes textos que pudieron ser tenidos en cuenta como fuentes.
Diferencias en la eficacia del tratamiento y en la calidad de vida de pacientes con acné moderado y severo comparando distintas dosis de isotretinoína
2021
El acné es una enfermedad inflamatoria multifactorial de la unidad pilosebácea, con un impacto importante en la calidad de vida de las personas que lo padecen. Entre las distintas opciones terapéuticas disponibles para el manejo de las formas moderadas y severas de acné, la más resolutiva es la isotretinoína oral. Habitualmente se manejan dosis de isotretinoína superiores a 0,5 mg/kg/día, pero en los últimos años se están valorando nuevos esquemas terapéuticos utilizando como alternativa las dosis bajas de isotretinoína, para reducir el riesgo de los efectos secundarios asociados a los retinoides orales. Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar si existen diferencias en relación a …
Family Business and Habitual Entrepreneurship : Differences and Similarities
2008
This study examines the prevalence of different types of entrepreneurs in the context of family business. In previous studies the family entrepreneurs have been seen loyal to their original firm, whereas relinquishing a firm is substantially connected to the habitual entrepreneurs. It may be one reason why these entrepreneurial dimensions have not been largely connected in previous studies. However, this does not mean that habitual entrepreneurship would not exist in family business. Thus the aim of this study is to explore the connections between habitual entrepreneurship and family business by examining, firstly, how many family entrepreneurs there are among portfolio, serial and first-ti…
