Three team and organisational culture myths and their consequences for sport psychology research and practice
2019
In this article, three prevailing myths about team and organisational culture – an increasingly popular topic in applied sport psychology research and practice – are identified, reviewed and challenged. These are; that culture is characterised only by what is shared, that culture is a variable and therefore something that a particular group has, and that culture change involves moving from the old culture to an entirely new one. We present a challenge to each myth through the introduction of alternative theoretical and empirical material and discuss the implications for sport psychology research and practice. The intent of this endeavour is to stimulate debate on how to best conceptualise a…
Groto in Quevedo's love poetry: Three mythological poems
2013
A través de la comparación de tres poemas amorosos de Quevedo con otros tantos del autor italiano Luigi Groto, el presente trabajo pretende demostrar que la imitación o reelaboración quevediana de otros autores no es nunca mecánica sino que conlleva siempre la aportación de recursos originales que consiguen renovar la tradición. En particular, en los poemas analizados, cuyo elemento común es la presencia de personajes mitológicos, es posible averiguar cómo Quevedo, aunque se trate de poemas ‘serios', maneja el tema mitológico de manera poco convencional, relativizando y hasta rebajando las figuras míticas con el uso de un tono que si no llega a los extremos de la burlesca, tiene a veces cie…
Dall'epica al mito
2021
Il saggio analizza la storia di Salvatore Giuliano nella rappresentazione di due cantastorie siciliani, Salvatore Bella e Ciccio Busacca, e ne mette in luce i meccanismi di costruzione e trasfigurazione che trasfigurano la vicenda storica in narrazione epica e mitica. The essay analyzes the story of Salvatore Giuliano in the representation of two Sicilian storytellers, Salvatore Bella and Ciccio Busacca, and highlights the mechanisms of construction and transfiguration that transfigure the historical event into epic and mythical narration.

A cost efficiency analysis of flood proofing measures for hydraulic risk mitigation in an Urbanized riverine area
2020
Non-structural measures for flood risk mitigation are often more economically accessible, easier to implement, and are highly effective, especially in view of the pursuit of risk resilience objectives. Among the non-structural measures, more importance is increasingly being attributed to flood proofing interventions. There are two main types of flood proofing: dry proofing and wet proofing. An example of dry proofing is shielding, which involves the use of flood barriers that can be installed in the entrances of buildings or outside the buildings in order to avoid contact with the houses and deviate the water flow. Their use must be supported by a detailed hydraulic analysis to ensure the c…
Imagen, lugar de memoria y mito. En torno al Alcázar de Toledo
2009
El presente texto analiza la función de la producción de imágenes (fotográficas, pictóricas, cinematográficas, arquitectónicas) en la mitología franquista que se refiere a la guerra civil. El Alcázar de Toledo fue un escenario emblemático de la guerra, un lugar de memoria por su resistencia, pero también un edificio aureolado de historia. A través del estudio del tratamiento arquitectónico que se dio al edificio (mantenimiento de las ruinas, restauración...), así como de su vida ceremonial, es posible analizar la visión épica que alimentó la memoria franquista y la relación entre el pasado imaginado y el presente.This paper analyzes the role of the images in the Francoist mythology concerni…
Geoarchaeological evidence of marshland destruction in the area of Rungholt, present-day Wadden Sea around Hallig Südfall (North Frisia, Germany), by…
2018
Abstract Geophysical and geoarchaeological investigations were carried out in the Wadden Sea of North Frisia (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) to elucidate major environmental changes that considerably altered the coastal landscape since medieval times. Between the 12 th and 14 th cent. AD, the present-day tidal flats around the marsh island Hallig Sudfall belonged to the historical Edomsharde district and its main settlement Rungholt . For North Frisia, it is well known that during medieval and early modern times, extreme storm surges caused major land losses associated with a massive landward shift of the coastline. Today, cultural traces like remains of dikes, drainage ditches, terps or even…
Recent Change—River Run-off and Ice Cover
2015
This chapter compiles and assesses information on run-off and discharge from rivers within the Baltic Sea drainage basin. Some information is also available on ice duration on inland waterways. Although decadal and regional variability is large, no significant long-term change has been detected in total river run-off to the Baltic Sea over the past 500 years. A change in the timing of the spring flood has been observed due to changes in the timing of snowmelt . Change in temperature seems to explain change in run-off better than does precipitation. Later start dates for ice formation on waterways, and earlier ice break-up dates have resulted in shorter periods of ice cover.
Flood risk assessment and mapping in peri-urban Mediterranean environments using hydrogeomorphology. Application to ephemeral streams in the Valencia…
2012
Abstract This paper proposes a methodology for mapping flood risk in ephemeral streams, based on assessing flood hazards and global exposure. The method has been applied to the peri-urban area of Valencia, extended over the floodplains of the Barranco del Carraixet and Rambla de Poyo catchments. Hazard was assessed using hydrogeomorphological methods. Global exposure was estimated as a combination between the economic value of land use and human exposure, following a previous study carried out by Camarasa, A.M., Lopez, M.J. and Soriano, J., 2011. Mapping temporally variable exposure to flooding in small Mediterranean basins using land-use indicators, Applied Geography 31 (19), 136–145. Synt…
