Make Fitness Fun: Could Novelty Be the Key Determinant for Physical Activity Adherence?

2020

The benefits of physical activity (PA) are well known and are extensively delineated in the scientific literature. Regular participation in PA, or exercise as its subset (structured, preplanned form of PA), is positively associated with numerous physical and psychological health benefits across all population subgroups (i.e., different age groups, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status) (Paterson and Warburton, 2010; Warburton and Bredin, 2017). The current PA guidelines for adults, proposed by the American College for Sports Medicine and American Heart Association (ACSM/AHA), recommend the accumulation of at least 150 min of moderate intensity aerobic PA per week (Nelson et al., 2007)…

Dialogue in the Dark: Shedding Light on the Development of Social Enterprises in China

2015

International audience; The application of for-profit business practices to nonprofit organizations, social enterprises are a way for nonprofit organizations to find funding in a time of rising costs, falling donations, and increased competition from for-profit businesses in the social sector. Although well established in the mature economies of the West, these enterprises are a novelty in the emerging economies of Asia and in the transitional economies of the former communist world. The experiences of Dialogue in the Dark, a social enterprise concerned with the problems associated with blindness, highlight the unique challenges that social enterprises face in China and offer lessons for en…

How individual characteristics shape the structure of social networks

2015

Abstract We study how students’ social networks emerge by documenting systematic patterns in the process of friendship formation of incoming students; these students all start out in a new environment and thus jointly create a new social network. As a specific novelty, we consider cooperativeness, time and risk preferences – elicited experimentally – together with factors like socioeconomic and personality characteristics. We find a number of robust predictors of link formation and of the position within the social network (local and global network centrality). In particular, cooperativeness has a complex association with link formation. We also find evidence for homophily along several dim…

The role of Spanish local development and employment officers in human resource management

2009

The aim of this study is to contrast the existence of a significant relation between good human resource practices and business results. The empirical analysis is applied to strategies implemented by Local Development and Employment Officers (LDEOs) with regard to the management of social integration and job placement programs within the context of Local Development in Spain for both the universalist and contingent perspectives of Human Resource Management. The novelty of this study lies in the impact local development programs are having on social integration and job placement, and, in particular, the effects of project management.

Perception and the ‘I’ in Samuel Beckett’s Company and Francis Bacon’s Paintings

2016

Este articulo analiza las relaciones entre la novela corta de Samuel Beckett Company (1980) y la pintura de Francis Bacon. El tema de la autopercepcion es el eje central de este estudio, que analiza la percepcion desde la perspectiva modernista del escritor y el pintor. El texto se halla estructurado en torno a dos visiones principales: la primera gira en torno a la ontologia fragmentaria evidente en ambos artistas, mientras que la segunda adopta un punto de partida mas estetico. Por medio de un analisis comparativo que desentrana y amplia aquello que transmite la obra de Beckett y Bacon alcanzaremos una mejor comprension tanto del relato del primero como de la pintura del segundo. This art…

Effects of novelty and gregariousness in survival of aposematic prey

1997

We examined the reactions of captive wild great tits to novel unpalatable prey with (1) a traditional aposematic signal (black and yellow) (2) a novel signal (light pink), and (3) a control signal (brown). Prey were offered either singly or in groups to see whether novel signals with fewer possibilities for synergistic benefits are more dependent on grouping than are the traditional signals. Indeed, responses of birds toward unpalatable prey depended significantly on spatial distribution of prey (grouping versus solitary) and die type of die signal. Birds avoided more the traditional black and yellow signals than novel pink signals in both experimental set ups, but both of diese prey items …
