Emoticonos y emojis: análisis de su historia, difusión y uso en la comunicación digital actual
2016
Los emoticonos son unas populares representaciones esquemáticas de expresiones faciales o pequeñas imágenes que se añaden a los mensajes electrónicos. Tras una revisión la investigación sobre la comunicación mediada por ordenador (CMO) y los emoticonos, el trabajo recorre la historia de los emoticonos, las diferentes tipologías y discute su actual percepción y difusión. Desde el punto de vista empírico, el trabajo se basa en una encuesta exploratoria y en el análisis de un corpus. La encuesta fue respondida por una muestra de conveniencia de 226 personas. La encuesta abordó algunos aspectos poco estudiados en la investigación sobre emoticonos, como por ejemplo las herramientas en las que se…
WhatsApp iconology: narratives on in-app photographic practices in (transnational) family communication
2023
Sharing photographs and photo-chatting are common practices in doing family at a distance. This study looks at the processes of the production and circulation of photographs within the family network, analysing participants’ narratives about their image-based communication in WhatsApp. The data was collected as an ethnographic enquiry into the digitally mediated (transnational) family communication of five Polish women and their children living in Finland. It consists of five auto-driven visual elicitation interviews with an interactive collage, three elicitation interviews, with the participant’s smartphone used for fast reference to their in-app chats, and one semi-structured interview. T…
The Concordance between Teachers’ and Parents’ Perceptions of School Transition Practices: A Solid Base for the Future
2015
This study focuses on parents’ and teachers’ perceptions of practices aimed at easing the transition to formal schooling (e.g., familiarization with the school, discussions about the school entrants). A total of 230 preschool teachers, 131 elementary school teachers, and 2,662 mothers and fathers filled in a questionnaire containing items on how important they considered different preschool-school transition practices. The participants considered the various transition practices to be at least somewhat important. On average, familiarization with the school was considered to be most important, whereas teacher co-operation and joint writing of curricula were considered to be least important. …
The role of physical activity and exercise in obesity and weight management: Time for critical appraisal
2016
The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically during last 3 decades with devastating consequences to public health. Recommended strategies to reduce obesity have focused on healthier diet and physical activity (PA). Clearly, these approaches have not been successful, but whether this is due to failure to restrict energy intake or to maintain high levels of energy expenditure has been the subject of great controversy. Consequently, there has been a great deal of confusion about the role of PA and exercise in obesity and weight management. In this article, the theoretical basis for considering reduced PA and energy expenditure as the cause of obesity is appraised. Furthe…

Objective To encourage appropriate professional use of SoMe by physicians in concordance with best practices and to update practical guidelines for effective and professional use of these communication technologies. Evidence aquisition The European Association of Urology (EAU; @Uroweb) brought together a committee of SoMe stakeholders in the urology field. PubMed and the grey literature were searched to identify SoMe position papers by other medica…
Effect of aerobic exercise on insulin resistance and central adiposity disappeared after the discontinuation of intervention in overweight women
2016
Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether the benefits of exercise on central adiposity and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) are maintained after discontinuation of intervention in the overweight/obese (OWOB) women. Methods: The study subjects were from 2 independent studies with similar aerobic exercise (AE) intervention programs. In study I, 15 OWOB postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes (body mass index, BMI = 24–33 kg/m2 , aged 52–65 years) completed an 8-month exercise intervention and were followed for 2 years after the intervention. In study II, 12 OWOB (BMI = 25–35 kg/m2 , aged 30–50 years) premenopausal women participated in a 6-week AE and were followed for 4 years after the interve…
La competencia pragmática en adolescentes. Un estudio de la atenuación en actos de rechazo
2019
En el presente trabajo se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de la atenuación pragmática a partir del análisis de un corpus de muestras escritas que recogen una actividad de simulación o role-playpropuesta a estudiantes adolescentes (15-18 años): la escritura de un WhatsApp en la que se rechaza una invitación. El objetivo de este estudio es, por una parte, observar el uso que hacen los adolescentes de la estrategia pragmática de la atenuación, y, por otra, evaluar su competencia pragmática, a partir del diseño de un sistema de evaluación basado en el mayor o menor uso de la atenuación. La metodología seguida para el análisis de la atenuación se basa en la propuesta de Albelda et al. (2014), en la…
Developing an open science mindset.
2022
Background: Identification of widespread biases present in reported research findings in many scientific disciplines, including psychology, such as failures to replicate and the likely extensive application of questionable research practices, has raised serious concerns over the reliability and trustworthiness of scientific research. This has led to the development of, and advocacy for, ‘open science’ practices, including data, materials, analysis, and output sharing, pre-registration of study predictions and analysis plans, and increased access to published research findings. Implementation of such practices has been enthusiastic in some quarters, but literacy in, and adoption of, these pr…
Las formas cotidianas de la felicidad y sus mandatos: Pedagogías del pensamiento positivo, trabajo docente y subjetividad en el neoliberalismo contem…
2020
Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…
Virtuaalisesti läsnä : perheen merkitysten rakentuminen WhatsApp-perheryhmässä
2018
Tarkastelen tutkielmassani perheensisäistä viestintää WhatsApp-pikaviestipalvelun perheryhmässä. Kuvaan ryhmän viestintää ja pohdin, mitä ryhmä jäsenilleen merkitsee ja miten perheen merkitykset ryhmässä rakentuvat. Teoreettisesti lähden ajatuksesta, että perheensisäinen viestintä on arkinen käytäntö, ja että perhe muodostuu juuri arkisissa käytännöissä. Sovellan tutkimuksessa Shoven, Pantzarin ja Watsonin (2012) kehittämää käytäntöteoriaa. Sen mukaan käytännöt rakentuvat materiaalista, kompetenssista sekä merkityksistä ja käytännöstä voi muodostua elinvoimainen, jos se palkitsee käyttäjäänsä sisäisesti, jos sillä on yhteys tai juuria muihin käytäntöihin ja jos se liittyy käyttäjälleen merk…
