Are sacred caves still safe havens for the endemic bats of Madagascar?
2018
AbstractDespite conservation discourses in Madagascar increasingly emphasizing the role of customary institutions for wildlife management, we know relatively little about their effectiveness. Here, we used semi-structured interviews with 54 adults in eight villages to investigate whether sacred caves and taboos offer conservation benefits for cave-dwelling bats in and around Tsimanampetsotsa National Park, south-west Madagascar. Although some caves were described as sites of spiritual significance for the local communities, most interviewees (c. 76%) did not recognize their present-day sacred status. Similarly, only 22% of the interviewees recognized taboos inhibiting bat hunting and consum…
Plädoyer für einen (berufs-) alltagstauglichen Begriff von Spiritualität
2021
Zusammenfassung Ein Blick auf die deutschsprachige Diskussion um Spiritual Care zeigt: Die Konzepte sind noch rar, die Grundlagen und Methoden spiritueller Kommunikation im Berufsalltag darstellen und entfalten. Dabei betonen so gut wie alle Stellungnahmen der Gesundheitsfachberufe die Wichtigkeit der Spiritualität in ihrer Arbeit. Der folgende Beitrag lenkt den Blick von der Metaebene der Diskussion um Spiritualität auf die Mikroebene der konkreten Situationen, die die Angehörigen der versorgenden Berufe in Krankenhaus, Altenheim und Palliative Care antreffen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Begriff von Spiritualität vorgestellt, der nicht nur der Hochform dieser Dimension, sondern auch der im …
Rhetorical Questions as Orator’s Means of Addressing the National Spirit of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians in Presidential Speeches
2020
Retorika kā pārliecināšanas māksla kopš Aristoteļa laikiem, īpaši pēdējā gadsimta laikā, izpelnījusies kritiskās diskursa analīzes pētnieku uzmanību. Retoriskie jautājumi kā viens no politiskajā diskursā lietotajiem retorisko līdzekļu veidiem tiek škietami par zemu novērtēti, it sevišķi situācijās, kad runas mērķis nav skaidri redzama argumentācija, pārliecināšana vai manipulācija. Attiecīgi retorisko jautājumu slēptā doma enkurojas dziļāk diskursa uztveres procesā un tādējādi atmiņā tiek uzglabāta ilgāk. Pētījumā analizētas 175 Baltijas valstu prezidentu runas, kas sniegtas dažādos nacionāli svarīgos brīžos kopš Latvijas valsts neatkarības pasludināšanas vai neatkarības atjaunošanas Lietuv…
La traducció corellana de la Vita Christi de Ludolf de Saxònia (edició crítica i estudi traductològic del llibre Primer, València, 1496).
2015
Aquesta tesi doctoral porta a terme una edició filològica de la traducció valenciana del llibre Primer de la Vita Chisti de Ludolf de Saxònia (c.1295/1300-1377/78), que és la darrera de les grans vides de Crist llatines de l’Edat Mitjana, i un dels puntals de la literatura contemplativa de la tardor medieval. La fixació del text traduït per l'escriptor i teòleg Joan Roís de Corella s'ha portat a terme a partir de l'acarament de les dues edicions que ens l'han transmés: l'editio princeps valenciana de 1496, que s'ha pres com a text base, i l'edició barcelonina de 1518. El text s'acompanya de tres aparats de notes: el primer, de caràcter ecdòtic, recull el conjunt de variants que presenten le…
Efficacy of an internet-based psychological intervention for problem gambling and gambling disorder: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
2021
Gambling Disorder is a prevalent non-substance use disorder, which contrasts with the low number of people requesting treatment. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) could help to enhance the dissemination of evidence-based treatments and considerably reduce the costs. The current study seeks to assess the efficacy of an online psychological intervention for people suffering from gambling problems in Spain. The proposed study will be a two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A total of 134 participants (problem and pathological gamblers) will be randomly allocated to a waiting list control group (N = 67) or an intervention group (N = 67). The intervention program i…
How Do Religiosity and Spirituality Associate with Health-Related Outcomes of Adolescents with Chronic Illnesses? A Scoping Review.
2022
The aim of the current scoping review was to explore the associations between religious and spiritual factors and the health-related outcomes of adolescents with chronic illnesses, as well as to investigate possible mechanisms accounting for these relationships. In total, 20 studies meeting the eligibility criteria were reviewed after performing a search of the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. The results suggested that religious and spiritual beliefs, thoughts, and practices (e.g., spiritual coping activities) might have both beneficial and deleterious effects on the way adolescents deal with their medical condition, on their psychosocial adjustment, on their mental and physic…
A Successful Aging Model Based on Personal Resources, Self-Care, and Life Satisfaction
2021

This study examines the relationships between personal resources, perceived social support, hope, spirituality, self-care and subjective well-being variables, as bases for a successful aging. One thousand and sixteen community-dwelling Spanish adults, aged 55-92 years, participated in the study. Information on variables assessed was collected using self-reported questionnaires.

2017
The EORTC Quality of Life Group has just completed the final phase (field‐testing and validation) of an international project to develop a stand‐alone measure of spiritual well‐being (SWB) for palliative cancer patients. Participants (n = 451)—from 14 countries on four continents; 54% female; 188 Christian; 50 Muslim; 156 with no religion—completed a provisional 36‐item measure of SWB plus the EORTC QLQ‐C15‐PAL (PAL), then took part in a structured debriefing interview. All items showed good score distribution across response categories. We assessed scale structure using principal component analysis and Rasch analysis, and explored construct validity, and convergent/divergent validity with …
