El libro que a continuación reseño fue editado en 2018 por Andrea M. Krafft, Andrea M. Walker y Pasqualina Perrig-Chiello, quienes reportaron los resultados de la encuesta anual del proyecto Hope-Barometer Research Program —hbrp—, llevado a cabo durante siete años en diversos países como Suiza, Alemania, Francia, España o Israel. El libro es parte de la colección Social Indicators Research Series de la editorial Springer. En el primer apartado de la presente reseña se desarrolla la conceptualización del constructo esperanza y su relación con la espiritualidad, las tradiciones religiosas, la psicología positiva y las características de las personas con altos niveles de optimismo y esperanza. En el segundo apartado se detallan algunos resultados del proyecto hbrp, los cuales señalan la relación entre las variables sociodemográficas —el estado civil y la situación profesional o laboral—, la satisfacción con la vida, la esperanza percibida, la esperanza disposicional, el bienestar subjetivo y la resiliencia. Por último, en el tercer apartado se analizan algunos aspectos de la filosofía oriental vinculados con la autotransformación y la realización de los individuos.

Research Studies

This study is part of an international research program identifying the managerial elements of public relations work. Building on previous research studies, this study had two aims: (1) examining the efficacy of the five-factor model emerging from the previous U.K. study, and (2) identifying and exploring U.S. practitioners' managerial elements. The results include validation of the five-factor model among U.S. practitioners, along with identification of managerial role characteristics in U.S. organizations.

The chapter aims to document the challenges associated with the management of an international research program and to look at innovative, information technology (IT) based ways of tackling these. Through the medium of a case study, insights gained from practical experience developing and implementing an original web based collaborative research management tool are discussed. This tool is based on a centralised model of information distribution and access. It was designed following a reductionist analysis of existing research processes and procedures. The ways in which the integration of responsive IT processes into the management of a large international research program have removed redundancies and increased automation and research efficiency is also discussed.

ArgumentD’Arcy Thompson has often been portrayed as a loner. His science of form has frequently been labeled anachronistic, idiosyncratic, and unconnected to his contemporary biology. This article aims to challenge this interpretation. Thompson's representation as a loner did not lie in the idiosyncrasies of his science, but in our own historiography. Through the use of unedited archival sources, this study shows that Thompson's biology was well-connected to an international research program – a program mainly shared by developmental biologists, physiologists, and morphologists. In addition, this article also aims to propose a new interpretation of Thompson'sOn Growth and Form. Drawing on his private correspondence and published sources, the paper re-contextualizes the contents and conclusions of Thompson's seminal work. We will see that Thompson defended a particular kind of organismal biology. The bio-science he supported stemmed not only from Aristotle's zoology or Pythagorean mathematics, but had many allies among twentieth-century naturalists.
