Higher Socioeconomic Status Predicts Less Risk of Depression in Adolescence: Serial Mediating Roles of Social Support and Optimism.
2020
Family socioeconomic status (SES) is known to have a powerful influence on adolescent depression. However, the inner mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. Here, we explore this issue by testing the potential mediating roles of social support (interpersonal resource) and optimism (intrapersonal resource), based on the predictions of the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM). Participants were 652 adolescents (age range: 11-20 years old, Mage =14.55 years, SD = 1.82; 338 boys (51.80%)) from two junior and two senior high schools in Wuhan, China. They completed questionnaires measuring family SES, perceived social support, trait optimism, and depression. Results showed, as predicted, (1) …
Association of emotional intelligence with resilience and work engagement in sports coaches
2021
Problem statement. Sports coaching is recognized as a stressful and challenging profession due to several different aspects such as organizational, performance, contextual, interpersonal, and intrapersonal stressors that coaches face. High level of work stress is a risk factor for decreased well-being at work. Sports coaches’ wellbeing not only matters to coaches themselves but plays a significant role in athlete performance and well-being as well. Approach. There is research evidence on sports coaches’ stress and burnout. There is, however, little knowledge on personal resources that enhance sports coach’s well-being at work. Therefore, studies that examine personal resource factors that f…
Trattamento medico arbitrario e responsabilità penale
2023
Il problema della rilevanza penale del trattamento medico arbitrario, ossia della condotta terapeutica realizzata a regola d’arte ma senza il consenso del paziente, ha dato vita nella dottrina penalistica a un vivace dibattito, all’interno del quale si sono confrontate le più diverse ricostruzioni dogmatiche. Queste si sono soffermate, oltre che sulle conseguenze penali da riconoscere al trattamento arbitrario, soprattutto sul fondamento giustificativo dell’intera professione medica, individuato alternativamente in svariati ambiti dell’antigiuridicità o in sede di tipicità. Le varie soluzioni prospettate non sono riuscite però a porre fine al dibattito, che ha avuto ripercussioni sulla giur…
YIZKEREM. May Our Lord Remember Them (from Hebrew), for acappella mixed choir
2021
La obra YIZKEREM (del hebreo: Que nuestro Señor los recuerde) es un monumento al Holocausto de la nación judía. Dado que la compositora, Bracha Bdil, pertenece a la comunidad ortodoxa de Europa del Este, muchas de sus obras se basan en la tradición musical de los modos judíos de Europa del Este y los textos de estas fuentes. La fusión de la técnica compositiva contemporánea con los elementos de la antigua tradición judía conduce a la compositora a un lenguaje compositivo muy personal.

Online expression and spending on personal cybersecurity
2019
The Internet is used increasingly as a platform both for free expression and e-commerce. Internet users have a variety of attitudes towards the security and privacy risks involved with using the Internet; and distinct concerns and behaviors with regard to expressing themselves online. Users may have controversial viewpoints that they may express online in various ways. Controversial viewpoints or artwork by their nature may not be as well received as positive or polite expressions. In the online environment, users with controversial viewpoints may be reluctant to express the viewpoints due to concern about possible consequences resulting from the expressions. Consequences may be imposed by …
A latent profile analysis of trait emotional intelligence to identify beneficial and risk profiles in well-being and job performance: a study among J…
2016
Trait emotional intelligence (EI) is a noteworthy psychological resource in nursing. However, its effects on well-being and job performance are inconsistent. Thus, we explored the latent beneficial and risk profiles of trait EI among 461 Japanese eldercare nurses. Latent profile analysis revealed six latent profiles. In addition, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that the profile with the highest overall scores on the trait EI dimensions was associated with the most beneficial outcomes (better well-being, higher job performance). In contrast, the profiles with lower overall scores on the trait EI dimensions showed negative outcomes. Moreover, a disproportional profile, ch…
FROM A COLLABORATIVE DESIGNING OF STORYTELLING TO A ROBOTIC AND VIRTUAL WORLD REPRESENTATION
2012
This paper presents an experiential learning lab focused on building a digital storytelling using both robots with LEGO Mindstorms and virtual worlds with Kodu Game Lab. The experiential laboratory (32 hours) has involved 33 children of secondary schools in a collaborative learning setting in formal (school labs) and informal learning context (external cultural association). In a first phase of the activity children used Lego Mindstorm robotic kits, assembling them and creating a physical environment (pasterboard arenas) where robots were programmed for moving and taking actions. In a second phase children were invited to transfer the physical world built for robots in a new digital storyte…
CAMBIO DE ACTITUDES Y VALORES ANTE LA ENERGÍA TRAS EL USO DE UN JUEGO DE ROL
2010
Los juegos de rol en educación se han definido como dramatizaciones que se vertebran en torno a una situación concreta y utilizan la asignación de papeles a alumnos, quienes deberán defender con argumentos una opinión (previamente perfilada) frente a un problema. Cada vez más utilizados en la educación formal y no formal, destacan entre sus ventajas el convertir lo lúdico en aprendizaje, potenciar el aprendizaje de actitudes y valores y la conexión que se realiza con la vida real entre otros. La utilización de un juego de rol en una investigación educativa sobre cambio de actitudes y valores ante los recursos energéticos cuyos resultados educativos fueron positivos, permitió repetir dicha i…
Defining Role-Playing Games as Language-Games
2011
Role-playing games are a diverse phenomenon, ranging from digital games to live action role-playing. Finding a definition that suits them all is hard, but attempts have been many. All of the definitions emphasize some aspects of role-playing games like rules, the role of players or the story. Many definitions do not describe role-playing games as such, but the activity that is role-playing. This paper looks at one of the latest attempts to define role-playing games, by Hitchens and Drachen (2009), and shows some potential problems with it. As an answer to these problems another definition is proposed, consisting of a game world, participants, shared narrative power and interaction. This def…
