Forgiveness and Loneliness in Peer-Victimized Adolescents
No full textThe purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationships between forgiveness, motivations for revenge, avoidance, and benevolence; loneliness, emotional loneliness and positive subjective evaluation of the social network; and peer victimization in schools, relational, overt physical, and overt verbal, based on gender. A battery of instruments was administered to 617 Spanish students (50.7% boys and 49.3% girls), aged between 10 and 16 years (M = 13.04 years, SD = 1.80 years) from primary and secondary education. A multivariate analysis of variance and a multiple block regression for data analysis was used. Study results revealed that the most victimized students showed greater motivation for revenge and avoidance, as well as a greater perception of emotional loneliness and less positive subjective evaluation of their social network. In addition, the findings obtained in the regression analysis (stepwise) indicated that being a boy between 11 and 13 years old and having a high level of emotional loneliness and high avoidance motivation were the most important predictors of peer victimization. Finally, the findings and their possible implications in the design of intervention projects that encourage forgiveness in interpersonal conflicts and integration in social networks as preventive strategies of peer victimization were discussed. *This is an electronic version of an article published on Journal of Interpersonal Violence.

Catechesi e drammatizzazione: Lo Spirito Santo nei sermoni di Pentecoste di Vicent Ferrer
No full textThe article focuses on the communicative skills of Vincent Ferrer and on his ability to merge catechesis and narrative inventiveness. The analysis is conducted on six versions of the sermon Repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto (notes, reportationes, and model sermons), which were preached by Ferrer in different parts of Europe. The texts highlight how Pentecost provided Ferrer with the opportunity to develop a lively dramatisation of the biblical episode and how preaching gave to the faithful a mediated, and yet not simplistic access to the Bible. By presenting the apostolic community as the exemplary model for his listeners, Ferrer elaborated on both the role of preaching and the way to welcome the Holy Spirit.[it] L’articolo si concentra sull’abilità comunicativa di Vicent Ferrer e sulla sua capacità di miscelare catechesi e invenzione narrativa, analizzando sei versioni del sermone Repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto. Gli schemi, le reportationes, i sermoni modello delle prediche tenute da Ferrer in diverse parti d’Europa mostrano come la festa di Pentecoste fornisse l’occasione per una vivace ‘messa in scena’ del racconto biblico e come la predicazione fornisse agli ascoltatori un accesso, mediato ma non banale, alla conoscenza della Scrittura. Nel sermone di Pentecoste, indicando la comunità apostolica come modello per i suoi ascoltatori, Ferrer sviluppava una riflessione tanto sul ruolo della predicazione quanto sul disporsi ad accogliere lo Spirito Santo

Exploring ICA for time series decomposition
No full textIn this paper, we apply independent component analysis (ICA) for prediction and signal extraction in multivariate time series data. We compare the performance of three different ICA procedures, JADE, SOBI, and FOTBI that estimate the components exploiting either the non-Gaussianity, or the temporal structure of the data, or combining both, non-Gaussianity as well as temporal dependence. Some Monte Carlo simulation experiments are carried out to investigate the performance of these algorithms in order to extract components such as trend, cycle, and seasonal components. Moreover, we empirically test the performance of those three ICA procedures on capturing the dynamic relationships among the industrial production index (IPI) time series of four European countries. We also compare the accuracy of the IPI time series forecasts using a few JADE, SOBI, and FOTBI components, at different time horizons. According to the results, FOTBI seems to be a good starting point for automatic time series signal extraction procedures, and it also provides quite accurate forecasts for the IPIs.ICA, Signal extraction, Multivariate time series, Forecasting
Influence of initialisation and stop criteria on HMM based recognisers
No full textA study is presented into the importance of two commonly overlooked factors influencing generalisation ability in the field of hidden Markov model (HMM) based recogniser training algorithms by means of a comparative study of four initialisation methods and three stop criteria in different applications. The results show that better results have been found with the equal-occupancy initialisation method and the fixed-threshold stop criterion.116611650,931Q2SCI
A multivariate generalized independent factor GARCH model with an application to financial stock returns
No full textWe propose a new multivariate factor GARCH model, the GICA-GARCH model , where the data are assumed to be generated by a set of independent components (ICs). This model applies independent component analysis (ICA) to search the conditionally heteroskedastic latent factors. We will use two ICA approaches to estimate the ICs. The first one estimates the components maximizing their non-gaussianity, and the second one exploits the temporal structure of the data. After estimating the ICs, we fit an univariate GARCH model to the volatility of each IC. Thus, the GICA-GARCH reduces the complexity to estimate a multivariate GARCH model by transforming it into a small number of univariate volatility models. We report some simulation experiments to show the ability of ICA to discover leading factors in a multivariate vector of financial data. An empirical application to the Madrid stock market will be presented, where we compare the forecasting accuracy of the GICA-GARCH model versus the orthogonal GARCH one.ICA, Multivariate GARCH, Factor models, Forecasting volatility
