Modifying the family process in two cases of physical child abuse and secondary functional encopresis
1998
In this article, a treatment working model is proposed and applied to two cases of multiproblem families with severe physical child abuse. Stimulus events that directly affect the likelihood of a physically abusive episode and setting factors that play an important indirect role because they increase the number of confrontations and decrease parental competence are considered. The child abuse cases involved major parenting deficits, maternal psychopathology, a major psychosomatic problem (childhood encopresis), and symptoms of childhood conduct disorder, which occurred in a setting of family distress, low income, and sibling distress. This study demonstrates how a two-phase comprehensive p…
Child protection in Europe: development of an international cross-comparison model to inform national policies and practices
2015
We report a five-nations project in comparative child protection to provide recommendations on policy and practice to inform the redevelopment of the Swiss child protection system. The Swiss Federal Government and the Optimus and Oak Foundations commissioned the project—collective title: Association Programme National pour la Protection de l'Enfant. We identify the historical developmental trajectories of child protection systems together with common drivers: the evidential basis for the prevalence and effects of child abuse, the co-joining of social and economic policies and practices to promote early investment in children, the influence of children's rights and comparative international …
The Role of the Brand on Choice Overload
2019
Current research on choice overload has been mainly conducted with choice options not associated with specific brands. This study investigates whether the presence of brand names in the choice set affects the occurrence of choice overload. Across four studies, we find that when choosing among an overabundance of alternatives, participants express more positive feelings (i.e., higher satisfaction/confidence, lower regret and difficulty) when all the options of the choice set are associated with familiar brands, rather than unfamiliar brands or no brand at all. We also find that choice overload only appears in the absence of brand names, but disappears when all options contain brand names—eit…
“Team Based Learning” in Political Science studies
2019
En los estudios de Ciencia Política ha predominado tradicionalmente la metodología basada en la clase magistral y el trabajo individual. Sin embargo, la implantación del sistema de Bolonia implica un trabajo más autónomo de los estudiantes y el desarrollo de nuevas habilidades como el trabajo en grupo. Desde esta perspectiva, se ha aplicado una nueva metodología denominada Aprendizaje Basado en Grupos (TBL de sus siglas en inglés) a un grupo de 100 alumnos de Ciencia Política y se la ha comparado con otros tres métodos también utilizados por los mismos estudiantes en otras asignaturas del grado (práctica semanal, trabajo semestral y Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas). El objetivo del trabajo …

The urban revitalization of the coastal tourist destinations: An alternative for the Valencian Mediterranean tourist municipalities
2021
espanolLos municipios del litoral mediterraneo valenciano aumentaron sensiblemente su superficie construida por la irrupcion de la actividad turistica a mediados del siglo XX. A pesar de las ventajas iniciales, los problemas surgidos sobre el espacio urbano, por la naturaleza del modelo de desarrollo turistico utilizado, los dirigen hacia una perdida progresiva de su atractivo turistico. Ante esta circunstancia, se hace necesario intervenir sobre el espacio urbano, no solo para renovar el destino turistico sino tambien para corregir los problemas urbanos generados durante las ultimas decadas en unos municipios que supeditaron sus decisiones exclusivamente a las necesidades turisticas. Una o…

Environmental Humanities in pre-service teachers' Education
2018
Aim: The aim of the reserch is to explore the possibility of integrating Sciences and Humanities in the Faculty of Education using Ecocriticism books and literary workshops with didactic activities of interdisciplinary nature.
 Methods: The experience was carried out with 100 students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Valencia from the subjects “Natural Sciences for teachers” and “Literary training for teachers”, where different didactic activities around two literary works, a novel and a short story, were proposed.
 Results: After the activities, the vast mayority of the students consider that Literature can help to learn Science. 41'7% of the students of “Literary…
Climate change reshuffles northern species within their niches
2022
Climate change is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. While range shifts are a known consequence of climate warming contributing to regional community change, less is known about how species' positions shift within their climatic niches. Furthermore, whether the relative importance of different climatic variables prompting such shifts varies with changing climate remains unclear. Here we analysed four decades of data for 1,478 species of birds, mammals, butterflies, moths, plants and phytoplankton along a 1,200 km high latitudinal gradient. The relative importance of climatic drivers varied non-uniformly with progressing climate change. While species turnover among decades was limited, the …
