Imagen corporal y participación en las clases de Educación Física (Body image and participation in Physical Education classes)

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo estudiar la incidencia de la imagen corporal en la participación en clases de Educación Física de 45 damas y varones de entre 13 y 17 años de establecimientos educacionales de Temuco, Chile. Se consideró aquellos alumnos que, sin tener impedimento de salud, no participaban regularmente de la clase de Educación Física. La metodología contempló un enfoque mixto, con un diseño no experimental del tipo descriptivo transeccional. Se hizo una recolección sistemática de antecedentes cualitativos a través de grupos focales y se consideró el Body Shape Questionnaire, para estudiar la opinión de los estudiantes respecto de su imagen corporal. Los resultados muestran que un 10% de los varones manifiestan preocupación leve respecto de su imagen corporal y que un 24% de las damas manifiestan una preocupación moderada respecto de su figura. Estos datos se corresponden con las opiniones manifestadas en los grupos focales, donde se pudo apreciar que los estudiantes sienten incomodidad e insatisfacción corporal en relación con su cuerpo, especialmente el género femenino. Sin embargo, esto no se constituye como la razón principal para no participar de las clases de Educación Física, siendo aspectos metodológicos los que son mencionados como de mayor importancia. Abstract. The aim of this research is to study the incidence of body image in the participation in Physical Education classes of 45 girls and boys between 13 and 17 years old from educational establishments in Temuco, Chile. We considered those students who, without having a health impediment, did not participate regularly in Physical Education classes. The methodology contemplated a mixed approach, with a non-experimental design of the transectional descriptive type. A systematic collection of qualitative data was made through focus groups and the Body Shape Questionnaire was used to study the students' opinion of their body image. The results show that 10% of the males expressed mild concern about their body image and 24% of the females expressed moderate concern about their body shape. These data correspond to the opinions expressed in the focus groups, where it could be seen that students feel discomfort and body dissatisfaction in relation to their body, especially the female gender. However, this does not constitute as the main reason for not participating in Physical Education classes, being methodological aspects those that are mentioned as of greater importance.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE PROCESSES AND HOTELS' PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM MALAYSIA

Competitive intelligence (CI) is a proven systematic process used to improve an organization's competitiveness through the systematic collection, analysing, and communication of information to decision-makers. However, there is still ambiguity about the impact of each process of competitive intelligence process (CIPs) on performance, particularly in the hotel industry in a developing country like Malaysia. Thus, the purpose of this research is to detect the level of CIP practiced in Malaysian hotels, as well as to investigate the impact of each process from the CI processes (planning and focus, gathering, analysis, and communication) on the financial and non-financial performance of Malaysian hotels. A quantitative research design was adopted in this study. To obtain the necessary data for analysing the hypothesised model of the study, 505 questionnaires were issued to marketing managers in member hotels of the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH), and a total of 184 analysable questionnaires were gathered, with a response rate of 34.44%. The research data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Despite that half of the responding hotels practiced CI informally, and many of these hotels began practicing CI five years ago, the study found that the level of CIP practice was high. Furthermore, the results indicate that the planning and focus, gathering, and analysis processes of CIP had a positive and significant impact on hotels' performance, while the communication process had a negative but insignificant impact on hotels' performance. Additionally, the results show that the planning and focus process is the most relevant, followed by the analysis processes, and finally the gathering process. These findings enrich those in positions of power like owners, managers, and practitioners, as well as academicians, with greater knowledge of the relationship and influence of CIPs on firms' performance, particularly for hospitality and tourism firms.

The Effect of Portfolio Assessment on Iranian EFL Learners’ Autonomy and Writing Skills

The portfolio assessment is a purposeful and systematic collection of students’ work that is intended to show progress over time. The researchers employed the Oxford quick placement test, autonomy questionnaire, and topic-based paragraph writings as the pretest and posttest. The design of the study was quasiexperimental. To this end, researchers chose 120 learners with the convenience sampling method, which were 60 learners at the upper-intermediate and 60 learners at the advanced level. Participants were divided into two homogeneous groups (30 learners) such that there were two groups at the upper-intermediate level and two groups at an advanced level as experimental and control groups. A piloted writing pretest was given to both groups before the treatment. The experimental group had received the treatment of four writing tasks to perform. In order to address the research questions, descriptive statistics and covariant analysis were used. Based on the results achieved from the first research question, portfolio assessment has a positive significant effect on Iranian EFL learners’ autonomy on both upper-intermediate and advanced levels. The results also indicated that portfolio assessment has a positive significant effect on Iranian EFL learners’ writing skills on both upper-intermediate and advanced levels.

DIANA-miTED: a microRNA tissue expression database

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (∼23nt) single-stranded non-coding RNAs that act as potent post-transcriptional gene expression regulators. Information about miRNA expression and distribution across cell types and tissues is crucial to the understanding of their function and for their translational use as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. DIANA-miTED is the most comprehensive and systematic collection of miRNA expression values derived from the analysis of 15 183 raw human small RNA-Seq (sRNA-Seq) datasets from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Metadata quality maximizes the utility of expression atlases, therefore we manually curated SRA and TCGA-derived information to deliver a comprehensive and standardized set, incorporating in total 199 tissues, 82 anatomical sublocations, 267 cell lines and 261 diseases. miTED offers rich instant visualizations of the expression and sample distributions of requested data across variables, as well as study-wide diagrams and graphs enabling efficient content exploration. Queries also generate links towards state-of-the-art miRNA functional resources, deeming miTED an ideal starting point for expression retrieval, exploration, comparison, and downstream analysis, without requiring bioinformatics support or expertise. DIANA-miTED is freely available at http://www.microrna.gr/mited.

DIGITAL PRACTICES TO ENHANCE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE

The term “cultural heritage” has been enriched with multiple contents in the last decades, partly thanks to the protection instruments developed by UNESCO. Despite the past, the cultural heritage is not limited to monuments and collections of objects. The term nowadays includes tangible and intangible cultural heritage (ICH). ICH includes traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe or the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts. Within this context, the Museum of “Passione di Sordevolo” preserves and spreads the cultural and social value of the largest representation of popular Christian theatre in Italy, called “La Passione di Sordevolo”. The paper presents the results of the research of the reconstructive modelling and visual storytelling project called "Digital historical scenic design". The project explores the use of digital technologies to create new content compatible with the Museum’s mission: dissemination, communication and valorization of the documentary heritage (photographs, sketches, drawings) and the systematic collection of the oral tradition of this theatrical tradition.

Systematizing evil in literature: twelve models for the analysis of narrative fiction

While there are interesting connections between literature and evil, there is as of yet no systematic collection of models of evil to study literature. This is problematic, since literature is among other things an evaluative discourse and the most basic evaluative category is the polarity of good versus evil. In addition, evil shows important affinities with basic narratological principles. To initiate a discussion of models of evil for the analysis of literature, this article organizes a dozen models of evil into four groups. The first consists of a core model which coincides with basic narratological elements in character analysis and narrative tension. The second group contains two pre-modern models of evil, defilement and moral-natural evil. The third group takes its cue from personality theory and proposes the five-factor model of personality and an enriched “dark triad,” and, to balance description against narration, a model which categorizes kinds of murder. The last group organizes six models around the thematic opposition between nature and society, an opposition which forms the backbone of Western philosophy and narrative. To test their validity, the models are applied to a series of literary examples/characters, above all Grendel (Beowulf), Browning’s “My Last Duchess,” and Carol Oates’ short story “Heat.”
