La fiesta de moros y cristianos en el mundo: una tradición global y viva
No full text[ES] Este capítulo presenta una visión general sobre el libro La Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos en el Mundo, destacando su enfoque en la expansión global de esta festividad de origen ibérico. A través del estudio de 42 autores, se examinan sus manifestaciones en los cinco continentes, analizando tanto su dimensión histórica como su evolución en el contexto de las culturas locales. La obra busca demostrar que la fiesta, más allá de su origen medieval, ha adquirido nuevas formas y significados en diversas comunidades, trascendiendo el conflicto simbólico entre moros y cristianos para convertirse en una celebración de identidad cultural y cohesión social. Se abordan sus aspectos teatrales, literarios y rituales, así como su impacto en el turismo, la economía y la construcción del patrimonio cultural inmaterial. Finalmente, el capítulo subraya la importancia de la investigación interdisciplinaria para comprender la vitalidad y permanencia de esta tradición en el siglo XXI.Cáceres Valderrama, M. (2025).

Cultural Factors in Complex Decision Making
No full textComplex decision-making is conceptualised as the process of problem solving in meaningful and important, but complex, dynamic and partially opaque situations. This process is open to a number of cultural influences, among them educational practices, environmental predictability, and power distance. Two empirical studies that explore into the cultural relativity of this type of decision making use interactive computer simulations of complex problems as research instruments. There are a number of behavioural differences between participants from India and Germany which can be explained within a culture-theoretical framework and give reason for the plea to include cultural factors in theories on human decision making
Astronomy in the sacred precint of Sala de los Moros (Argamasilla de Calatrava, Spain)
No full textIsolated at the top of a hill at 900 m with great visibility of the surrounding territory, Sala de Moros is a singular monument in Argamasilla de Calatrava (Ciudad Real, Spain), in northern Pre-Roman Oretania. The main structures consist of a T-shaped chamber covered by blocks of quartzite, which is surrounded by a wall that defined a temenos and it is appreciably different from other nearby structures. This paper presents the results of an archaeoastronomical study that reveals that, besides the implicit symbolism in the election of such an outstanding point in the territory, astronomy may have been integrated in the design of the monument and the development of this outstanding landscape of power. Furthermore, the likely astronomical patterns observed suggest a possible connection between the construction of Sala de Moros with the Iberian aristocracy, while provide a better understanding of the concepts of time in ancient Oretania.Depto. de Prehistoria, Historia Antigua y ArqueologíaFac. de Geografía e HistoriaTRUEpu

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Decision Making in Individualistic and Collectivistic Cultures
No full textHow do cultural values influence individuals\u27 decision making? One would expect answers to this question either from cognitive psychology or from cross-cultural psychology. Cognitive theories on decision making, however, rarely consider the factor of culture, and research in cross-cultural psychology deals only to a small extent with decision making. Therefore the study of culture and decision making is a relatively new and unexplored field. In this paper normative and descriptive approaches to decision making are discussed and three cross-cultural studies on decision making in individualistic and collectivist cultures using different methodologies are described. The results are integrated into a model that can be helpful to derive specific hypotheses for further studies in this field
