Happiness Management mediatiza a relação entre práticas de recursos humanos, orgulho de marca e desempenho
No full textPurpose – This study aims to examine the mediating role of happiness management and brand pride in the
relationship between human resource practices (HRPs) and self-perceived job performance in Ibero-American
organisations.
Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative cross-sectional design was used with 408 participants.
Data were analysed using covariance-based structural equation modelling to assess the direct and indirect
relationships proposed in the theoretical model.
Findings – The results confirm that HRPs positively influence both happiness management and brand pride,
but not performance directly. In contrast, both happiness management and brand pride significantly affect job
performance. Furthermore, a marginal mediation of happiness management is also observed in the relationship

between HRPs and performance (p =0.051), which suggests a near-significant emotional mechanism. Significant mediations of brand pride and happiness management are also found between pride and performance.
Originality/value –
The study provides novel evidence in the Ibero-American context by integrating four constructs into a single explanatory model, extending social exchange theory from an emotional perspective. It highlights that happiness management constitutes a management strategy and an ethical and cultural responsibility for building more human and sustainable organisations. Practical implications include promoting emotionally intelligent communication, symbolic recognition practices and a culture that fosters employee pride and well-being.Propósito: Este estudio examina el rol mediador del Happiness Management y del orgullo
de marca en la relación entre las prácticas de recursos humanos (PRH) y el desempeño laboral
autoperibido en organizaciones iberoamericanas.
Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Se empleó un diseño cuantitativo de corte transversal con 408
participantes. Los datos fueron analizados mediante modelado de ecuaciones estructurales
basado en covarianzas (CB-SEM) para evaluar las relaciones directas e indirectas propuestas
en el modelo teórico.
Resultados: Los hallazgos confirman que las PRH influyen positivamente tanto en el
Happiness Management como en el orgullo de marca, pero no en el desempeño de manera
directa. En contraste, tanto el Happiness Management como el orgullo de marca afectan
significativamente el desempeño laboral. Asimismo, se observa una mediación marginal del
Happiness Management en la relación entre PRH y desempeño (p = 0.051), lo que sugiere
un mecanismo emocional cercano a la significancia. También se identifican mediaciones
significativas del orgullo de marca y del Happiness Management entre orgullo y desempeño.
Originalidad/valor: El estudio aporta evidencia novedosa en el contexto iberoamericano al
integrar cuatro constructos en un solo modelo explicativo, ampliando la Teoría del
Intercambio Social desde una perspectiva emocional. Se destaca que el Happiness
Management constituye una estrategia de gestión y una responsabilidad ética y cultural para
construir organizaciones más humanas y sostenibles. Las implicaciones prácticas incluyen la
promoción de una comunicación emocionalmente inteligente, prácticas de reconocimiento
simbólico y una cultura que fomente el orgullo y el bienestar del personal.Objetivo: Este estudo examina o papel mediador do Happiness Management e do orgulho de marca na relação entre práticas de recursos humanos (PRH) e desempenho laboral autorpercebido em organizações ibero-americanas.

Cuando el virreinato del Perú inventó la ingeniería costera americana
No full textA comienzos del siglo XVIII, el puerto del Callao –la puerta marítima del virreinato del Perú– vivía sitiado por el mar. Las tormentas, los terremotos y los tsunamis golpeaban sin descanso las murallas que protegían el principal punto de salida del oro y la plata rumbo a España.
Lo que pocos saben es que allí, hace 300 años, se ensayó por primera vez en América una regeneración de playas, una idea que hoy sigue siendo una herramienta fundamental de la ingeniería costera moderna

Su enfoque principal es la transición de una valoración puramente biológica hacia una visión holística del paciente, integrando las esferas psicológica, social y espiritual. A través de una estructura clara y metodológica, se analiza cómo la recolección de datos se transforma en diagnósticos precisos mediante la taxonomía NANDA-NOC-NIC, permitiendo una planificación de cuidados estandarizada y de calidad.
Este documento ayuda a los estudiantes de enfermería a fomentar el pensamiento crítico necesario en la práctica asistencial. Para consolidar el aprendizaje, se incluyen casos clínicos detallados, donde el estudiante puede aplicar la teoría, comprobando cómo una valoración estructurada es la clave para un abordaje terapéutico integral y exitoso en salud mental y otras áreas
3D-printable ionic liquid formulations for filler-free, transparent ion-conducting soft materials
No full textThis work presents a family of photocurable ionic liquids (pILs) based on a polymerizable methacrylate anion and readily available organic cations, designed for vat photopolymerization (VP) of soft ion-conducting networks. The pILs were synthesized by straightforward ion exchange, providing liquid salts that are fully compatible with commercial acrylate resins and enable filler-free 3D printing of transparent ionic polymers. By systematically mapping the resin compositions as a function of the total acrylate content and the fraction of crosslinking species, a clear printability window was identified, allowing prediction of the maximum printable ionic liquid concentration from the molecular weight of the chosen cation. Mechanical properties were shown to be governed primarily by network architecture, with imidazolium-based systems displaying linear correlations between stiffness and crosslinking density, while tetraalkylammonium cations introduced exponential softening due to their plasticizing effect. In contrast, ionic conductivity was largely dictated by cation size, hydrophobicity, and charge shielding, enabling conductivity values in the 10–6–10–4 S/cm range without the need for conductive fillers. These results demonstrate a chemically simple and generalizable approach to obtain printable, filler-free ion-conducting materials, opening opportunities for applications in antistatic coatings, electrostatic discharge protection, flexible and stretchable sensors, and low-voltage energy harvesting devices
Terapia Psicosexual en la Eyaculación Retardada Situacional Idiosincrática: Estudio de un Caso
No full textLa eyaculación retardada (ED) es una disfunción sexual masculina poco frecuente y todavía insuficientemente estudiada en la literatura clínica. Este artículo describe el tratamiento psicosexual aplicado a un caso de eyaculación retardada primaria, situacional e idiosincrática. Durante la evaluación clínica se observó que el paciente solo podía eyacular tras excitarse y salir de la cama para frotar el pene contra el suelo.
Se aplicó una intervención estructurada basada en terapia psicosexual de pareja a lo largo de ocho sesiones, con participación activa de ambos miembros. El objetivo fue transferir gradualmente las condiciones que permitían la eyaculación al contexto de la relación sexual compartida. Inicialmente se reprodujo el estímulo original colocando una losa dura sobre la cama para facilitar la eyaculación. Posteriormente se añadió una toalla sobre la losa para introducir nuevas sensaciones táctiles y, más adelante, se incorporó la mano de la pareja entre la toalla y la superficie rígida.
En paralelo, el paciente realizó ejercicios individuales, como la masturbación de pie utilizando el lavabo, progresando después hacia el uso de un simulador vaginal de látex. Para incrementar la excitación se introdujo también un vibrador anal. Una vez lograda la eyaculación con el dispositivo en posición de pie, se simuló el coito masturbándose mientras la pareja adoptaba una postura receptiva sobre una mesa, pasando a la penetración vaginal justo antes del clímax.
La fase final consistió en penetración vaginal en posición del misionero con estimulación anal simultánea. Este proceso gradual de desensibilización y reacondicionamiento permitió finalmente lograr la eyaculación vaginal.Delayed ejaculation (DE) is a relatively uncommon male sexual dysfunction and remains insufficiently studied in
clinical literature. This article reports on the psychosexual therapeutic approach employed in a rare case of primary,
situational, and idiosyncratic DE. Clinical assessment revealed that the patient was only able to achieve ejaculation
following arousal when he exited the bed and engaged in genital stimulation by rubbing his penis against the floor.
A structured intervention grounded in psychosexual couples therapy was implemented. Across eight sessions, the
couple was actively involved in therapeutic exercises. The therapeutic goal was to gradually transfer the conditions
for ejaculation to the shared sexual setting. Initially, ejaculation was attempted on a hard slab placed on the bed,
followed using a towel atop the slab to introduce new tactile stimuli, and subsequently by involving the partner’s hand
positioned between the towel and the slab. Individually, the patient was instructed to engage in standing masturbation
using the sink surface, followed by a transition to a latex vaginal simulator. To enhance arousal, the use of an anal
vibrator was later introduced. Once successful ejaculation was achieved using the latex device in a standing position, the
next step involved simulating coitus by masturbating while the partner was positioned in a receptive posture on a table,
transitioning to vaginal penetration immediately prior to climax. The final phase of the intervention involved vaginal
penetration in the missionary position, with concurrent anal vibrator stimulation provided by the partner. This graduated
desensitization and reconditioning strategy ultimately enabled the patient to ejaculate intravaginally

No full textWaking up on the wrong side of the bed : sleep duration moderates the association between adolescent trait aggression and observed aggressive behaviour
No full textIntroduction: Prior research suggests that insufficient sleep can increase aggressive behaviour in adolescents. However, few studies have employed controlled designs, but none have incorporated objective measures of aggression. Moreover, the potential moderating role of sleep in the relationship between trait aggression and aggressive behaviour remains unexplored. This study addressed these gaps by examining whether sleep duration and quality moderate the association between trait aggression and objectively measured aggressive behaviour in adolescents. We hypothesised that adolescents higher in trait aggression would be more sensitive to poor sleep. Method: Thirty-four adolescent female participants spent one night in the Flinders University Sleep and Psychology Lab. Sleep duration was assessed using a consumer-grade sleep-tracking wearable, and sleep quality was self-reported. The following morning, participants underwent a noxious aggression provocation paradigm, after which behavioural aggression was assessed using a modified Hot Sauce Paradigm, measured via the weight of allocated wasabi paste. Trait aggression was measured using the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Results: Sleep duration significantly moderated the relationship between trait aggression and aggressive behaviour, with shorter sleep predicting greater aggression among participants higher in trait aggression (R2change = 0.11, p = 0.03). No such moderating effect was observed for self-reported sleep quality. Discussion: These findings suggest that adolescents high in trait aggression may be particularly susceptible to the behavioural consequences of shorter sleep. Ensuring adequate sleep could, therefore, be especially important for reducing aggression in this subgroup. This study extends prior research by demonstrating the moderating role of objectively measured sleep duration on aggression using a controlled design and a behavioural outcome measure, offering new insights for both theoretical models of aggression and the development of targeted, sleep-based interventions for at-risk youth.Ungdomars sömn, kompisar och sociala medier: En multimetodstudi
Inledning : 10 år med regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter
No full textDet här kapitlet introducerar en antologi baserad på ett forskningsprojekt om styrning och planering för allmän kollektivtrafik i Sverige efter införandet av den nya kollektivtrafiklagen, implementerad från 2012. Lagen innebar att 21 regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter (RKM) bildades och att ansvar för planering av den allmänna kollektivtrafiken flyttades från kommuner till regioner. Eftersom planering för allmän kollektivtrafik genom RKM är beroende av kommunernas planering inom sina ansvar för fysisk planering, skolskjuts och färdtjänst behöver RKM och kommuner samverka. Begreppet för omskalning och processer kring samverkan är centrala utgångspunkter för forskningen inom projektet. Omskalning, handlar om hur ansvar förflyttas mellan planeringsnivåer, och samverkan uppstår eftersom aktörer är beroende av varandra för att organisera för kollektivtrafik. RKM och kommuner är ömsesidigt beroende av varandra, framför allt genom: • Relation mellan allmän och särskild kollektivtrafik där samordning kan bidra till hållbarhet utifrån dess olika dimensioner • Relationer mellan kommunerna fysiska planering och RKM:ernas planering för kollektivtrafik. Antologin bygger på tre huvudmaterial: intervjuer med 18 RKM, strukturerade intervjuer med 49 kommunala planerare samt analyser av tre generationer regionala trafikförsörjningsprogram (2012–2024). Projektet studerar planering av kollektivtrafik i 18 landets 21 län; storstadslänen Stockholm, Västra Götaland och Skåne ingår inte. Antologins syfte är att samla och förklara forskningsprojektets resultat på svenska och riktar sig till praktiker och studenter med intresse i kollektivtrafik och samhällsplanering. Den består av tio kapitel som kan läsas både separat och som en helhet.Omskalningens effekter för hållbar omställning. 10 år med regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter som samhällsbyggare
Avslutande diskussion : 10 år med regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter
No full textI detta kapitel sammanfattas antologins samlade bidrag och placerar resultaten från forskningsprojektet om regional kollektivtrafik i ett bredare teoretiskt och policyrelevant sammanhang. Utgångspunkten är att införandet av kollektivtrafiklagen innebar en omfattande institutionell reform där ansvar och planeringsmandat för kollektivtrafiken omskalades från kommunal till regional nivå, genom etableringen av regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter (RKM). Kapitlet visar att reformen bör förstås i relation till bredare processer av regionalisering, europeisering och ökade krav på samordning kring hållbar utveckling. Med stöd i perspektiven omskalning och samverkan analyseras hur kollektivtrafikens styrning har förändrats i praktiken. Antologin visar att den regionala nivån stärkts strategiskt, särskilt i frågor kopplade till tillväxt, regionförstoring och klimatmål, medan genomförandet fortsatt är starkt beroende av kommunala insatser, inte minst inom fysisk planering, välfärdstjänster och tillgänglighet. Detta har skapat ett icke-hierarkiskt styrningslandskap i flera nivåer där samverkan framstår som en nödvändighet snarare än ett val, men också som en källa till fragmentering, otydligt ansvar och resurskrävande processer. Vidare identifieras en tydlig spänning mellan tillväxtpolitiska och välfärdspolitiska logiker i kollektivtrafikens planering. Regionförstoringsstrategier prioriteras ofta, medan social hållbarhet, landsbygdens villkor och rättvis tillgång till mobilitet i högre grad hanteras lokalt och sällan operationaliseras i regionala mål. Avslutningsvis diskuteras statistikens och indikatorernas roll i styrningen, där bristande datakvalitet och förenklade mätetal riskerar att osynliggöra kollektivtrafikens komplexa samhällsuppdrag. Kapitlet avslutas med policyrekommendationer som betonar behovet av bättre samordning, tydligare ansvarsför-delning och stärkt analytisk kapacitet snarare än nya organisatoriska reformer.Omskalningens effekter för hållbar omställning. 10 år med regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter som samhällsbyggare
The efficacy of parenting interventions for forced migrant families on child internalizing and externalizing symptoms, parental self-efficacy, and parental competence : A systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textForced migration has reached unprecedented levels worldwide. Involuntarily migration creates stressors for families that require systematic action at a societal level. Our premise is that parenting programmes have an untapped potential to enhance psychosocial health among parents and children. The aim of this study, therefore, was to review existing studies to evaluate the efficacy of preventive parenting programmes for parents who were refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced. We included 20 publications from 3 electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid PsycINFO and Web of Science Core Collection): 16 on parenting interventions (13 original trials, N = 1191) and 4 on combined interventions (parents and youth, N = 1284). We compared a range of outcomes including child internalizing and externalizing symptoms, as well as parental competence (positive/negative parenting), self-efficacy, well-being and mental health/psychological distress. Between-group analyses indicated less externalizing behaviour (Hedge's g = 0.43, p < 0.05, k = 2) at post measurement for parents participating in the interventions, compared with those in the control conditions, as well as enhanced positive parenting strategies (g = 0.89, p < .01, k = 2), self-efficacy (g = 1.94, p < .001, k = 2) and parental psychological distress (g = 0.67, p < .05, k = 4). Within-group analyses of pre and post measurements supported that parents participating in the interventions reported improvements over time in all primary outcomes: parent-rated child internalizing and externalizing behaviours, negative and positive parenting, self-efficacy and the secondary outcome psychological distress. Analyses of combined studies suggested a small increase in positive parenting strategies (g = 0.17, p < .05, k = 2). Although our sample of reviewed studies was relatively small, and the study outcomes varied considerably, the results indicate that parenting programmes might be an underutilized resource to promote health among forcibly displaced families.
