Bifactor analysis and construct validity of the five facet mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ) in non-clinical Spanish samples
2015
The objective of the present study was to examine the dimensionality, reliability, and construct validity of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) in three Spanish samples using structural equation modeling (SEM). Pooling the FFMQ data from 3 Spanish samples (n = 1191), we estimated the fit of two competing models (correlated five-factor vs. bifactor) via confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial invariance of the best fitting model across meditative practice was also addressed. The pattern of relationships between the FFMQ latent dimensions and anxiety, depression, and distress was analyzed using SEM. FFMQ reliability was examined by computing the omega and omega hierarchical c…
Políticas de aparición/desaparición (The Politics of Appearance/Disappearance)
2019
Los asuntos concernientes a las políticas de la des/aparición son amplios, variados y complejos. Atendiendo a los procesos históricos y a las categorizaciones de la (des)aparición que de ellos se derivan, en este trabajo identificamos dos entradas analíticas que consideramos principales. En primer lugar, abordamos el significado de la aparición y la desaparición desde la perspectiva de la teoría política liberal. En concreto, analizamos cómo regímenes políticos distintos se relacionan con el individuo-ciudadano y el espacio púbico. En segundo lugar, respondiendo a una asentada tradición te&oacu…
Intellectual Capital Reporting in the Italian Nonprofit Sector. An Image-Building or an Accountability Tool?
2014
Abstract The purpose of this article is to analyze intellectual capital (IC) measurement, management, and reporting practices at organizational level, with the aim to address a relevant research question: are IC reports used as accountability or as image-building tools? The article presents a single in-depth case study of an Italian nonprofit organization (NPO) which has been measuring and reporting its IC for several years. The research project was conducted using an interpretative approach, by analyzing organizational IC reports in the light of a framework, derived from corporate social responsibility (CSR) and IC literature, able to provide researchers with useful insights to interpret t…
Docenti precari: resilienza e promozione del benessere
2014
In questi ultimi anni la resilienza è stata oggetto di una serie di studi e di riflessioni della comunità scientifica nazionale e internazionale, che le hanno consentito di affrancarsi dall’ambiente teorico astratto entro cui si collocava, per diventare prassi e metodologia di lavoro per tutte le professioni. Nel modello teorico adottato si definisce la resilienza come la capacità di affrontare eventi stressanti, superarli e continuare a svilupparsi aumentando le proprie risorse con una conseguente riorganizzazione positiva della vita. Con la nostra indagine ci siamo proposti di analizzare e misurare il livello di resilienza di un gruppo di 543 docenti (precari) siciliani. Abbiamo verificat…

A sustainable city environment through child safety and mobility:A challenge based on ITS?
2012
Our cities should be designed to accommodate everybody, including children. We will not move toward a more sustainable society unless we accept that children are people with transportation needs, and ‘bussing’ them around, or providing parental limousine services at all times, will not lead to sustainability. Rather, we will need to make our cities walkable for children, at least those above a certain age. Safety has two main aspects, traffic safety and personal safety (risk of assault). Besides being safe, children will also need an urban environment with reasonable mobility, where they themselves can reach destinations with reasonable effort; else they will still need to be driven. This p…
Double blind randomized clinical trial comparing minimally- invasive envelope flap and conventional envelope flap on impacted lower third molar surge…
2022
The latest trend in surgery is to look for minimally invasive procedures, with fewer complications and a shorter recovery time. This study aims to compare the minimally- invasive envelope flap, with smaller incision and fewer dissection and the conventional envelope flap, with a 20mm incision, on impacted mandibular third molar surgery, focusing on the hypothesis that there were no differences in postoperative outcomes. A double-blind randomized clinical trial was designed to compare both incisions, focused on determining the approach with minor postoperative side-effects and minor impact on quality-of-life. A total of 60 patients were enrolled for the study if their presented impacted mand…

The Spanish Version of the State Self-Compassion Scale–Long Form (SSCS–L): A Study of Its Validity and Reliability in a Sample of Nursing Students
2022
Background: In nurses, self-compassion mitigates the effects of stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, and enhances empathy, compassion and well-being and quality of life. The Self-Compassion Scale is the most-used instrument. The aim of this study is to validate the Spanish version of the new developed State Self-Compassion Scale–Long (SSCS–L). Methods: Students of the first year of the Nursing Degree were surveyed online. Together with the SSCS–L, their levels of positive and negative affect was reported. Analyses included descriptive statistics, competitive confirmatory factor analysis, evidence on criterion-related validity and estimates of reliability. Results: The b…
Preventing occupational injury among police officers: does motivation matter?
2017
Background: Injury prevention is an important issue for police officers, but the effectiveness of prevention initiatives is dependent on officers’ motivation toward, and adherence to, recommended health and safety guidelines. Aims: To understand effects of police officers’ motivation to prevent occupational injury on beliefs about safety and adherence to injury prevention behaviours. Methods: Full-time police officers completed a survey comprising validated psychometric scales to assess autonomous, controlled and amotivated forms of motivation (Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire), behavioural adherence (Self-reported Treatment Adherence Scale) and beliefs (Safety Attitude Questionnaire…
