The Joint Role of Focused and Molar Climates and Eudaemonic Well-being as Mediators of the Relationship between Flexible Telework and Scientific Productivity in Spanish ERC-Granted Teams.

Flexible work arrangements, such as teleworking, have gained massive and unprecedented usage for creating work environments that foster well-being and productivity. Yet empirical evidence is still scant and not much is known about the role of organizational climate(s) in this process. Accordingly, the present study was set out to investigate the mediating mechanisms linking flexible teleworking to scientific productivity by considering climate for well-being dimensions, the climates for excellence and for innovation, and eudaemonic well-being as mediating constructs. Data were collected from 358 members of 48 Spanish European Research Council (ERC) granted teams and analyses were conducted both at the individual and team level, after checking for the relevant aggregation indexes. Relevant and significant relations were found within the hypothesized statistical model both at the individual and team level of analysis. The climate dimension of team support and the climate for innovation, together with eudaimonic well-being, resulted to be linked by significant relationships suggesting a potential mediating path. Also, empirical evidence supported considering gender as a control variable for the relationship between flexible teleworking and the climate dimension of work-life balance. In conclusion, climate variables and eudaimonic well-being represent relevant variables for the explanation of the relationship between flexible teleworking and scientific productivity. Practical and theoretical implications, and limitations are further discussed in the article.

Teleworking Components and Scientific Productivity in Spanish ERC-Granted Teams: The Mediating Role of Climate and Well-Being / [Los componentes del teletrabajo y la productividad científica en los equipos españoles financiados por el ERC: el papel mediador del clima y el bienestar]

The practice of teleworking is being consistently and unprecedently used across multiple work sectors, including the research one, yet the direct and mediated links of specific telework designs with productivity are unclear, and analyses at multiple levels missing. Accordingly, this study aims at exploring the mediating role of the climate for well-being and well-being outcomes in the relationship between multiple components of teleworking and scientific productivity, both at the individual and team level. Data were collected from 358 members of 48 Spanish European Research Council (ERC)-granted teams. Analyses were conducted both at the individual and team level, after checking for the relevant aggregation indexes. Telework components of quantity, frequency, flexibility, and voluntariness were found to have direct and mediated significant relationships with scientific productivity, confirming the need to investigate telework with a closer focus on how it is designed and implemented in the different teams. Specifically, climate for well-being, eudaimonic well-being, and negative emotions were found to play a relevant role in mediating the relationship between some telework components (i.e., telework flexibility and voluntariness) and scientific productivity. Also, telework quantity and frequency were found to have, respectively, positive and negative relationship with scientific productivity. Practical and theoretical implications are further discussed in the article.(AU)

La práctica del teletrabajo se está utilizando de manera consistente y sin precedentes en múltiples sectores laborales, también en el de la investigación. No obstante, todavía quedan cuestiones que dilucidar sobre la relación entre aspectos específicos del diseño del teletrabajo y la productividad, así como los posibles mecanismos mediadores entre ambos a distintos niveles de análisis (individual, equipo). El trabajo tiene como objetivo explorar el papel mediador del clima para el bienestar y sus consecuencias en la relación entre múltiples componentes del teletrabajo y la productividad científica, tanto a nivel individual como de equipo. Se han recogido datos de 358 miembros de 48 equipos españoles subvencionados por el Consejo Europeo de Investigación (ERC). Los análisis se han realizado a ambos niveles tras comprobar los índices de agregación pertinentes. Cuatro componentes del teletrabajo (intensidad, frecuencia, flexibilidad y voluntariedad) presentaban relaciones significativas, directas e indirectas, con la productividad científica, confirmando la necesidad de investigar cómo se diseña e implementa en los equipos el teletrabajo. Se ha visto que el clima para el bienestar, el bienestar eudaimónico y las emociones negativas mediaban la relación entre algunos componentes del teletrabajo (la flexibilidad y la voluntariedad del teletrabajo) y la productividad científica. Además, la intensidad y la frecuencia del teletrabajo tenían, respectivamente, una relación positiva y negativa con la productividad científica. Las implicaciones prácticas y teóricas se analizan con más detalle en el artículo.(AU)

Early myopericarditis diagnosed in a 31-year-old patient using smartwatch technology: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: Smartwatches, wrist-mounted devices with computing capacity able to connect with other devices via short-range wireless networking, are today commonly used by the general population to monitor their health status using specific applications. Currently, these devices offer new possibilities in remote health care monitoring and integration with other applications, through alert notifications, collection of personal data by a variety of sensors and the storage of these data. Several companies are introducing smartwatches with "health status" monitoring software with multiple functions, i.e. electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors. Recently, detection of atrial fibrillation based on heart rate monitoring by optical sensors resulted to be feasible and reliable when using the Apple Watch® and its corresponding application. Indeed, previous case reports highlighted its sensitivity in detecting morphological changes typical of the Acute Coronary Syndrome. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a healthcare worker, who experienced chest pain and diffuse myalgia, detected ECG alterations in the ST segment, and reached the Emergency Department Myopericarditis was diagnosed and treated promptly to prevent complications. DISCUSSION: Acute viral myocarditis and pericarditis are clinical conditions, usually characterized by 21 a benign course that does not require medical evaluation. However, ventricular arrhythmias are also common in viral myocarditis, and the latter is associated with a large proportion of sudden cardiac deaths in the young population without previous structural heart disease. In this case report, smartwatch technology allowed the preventive implementation of interventions against potentially life-threatening complications. Further developments in smartwatch technology could lead to more sensitive and specific diagnostic algorithms for conditions that require immediate medical intervention.

Emptiness in the study of emotions in the teaching-learning process of reading-writing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The teaching-learning process of reading and writing has great relevance in the psycho-emotional and socio-psychological development of school-age children. This is an exercise in which they develop imagination, attention and memory capacity and through this process the management of emotions and sensitivity and capacity of apprehension of reality. The crisis derived from the COVID-19 pandemic transformed reality in an unprecedented way in the recent history of humanity and the educational context was shaken by all these changes. With confinement, the teaching-learning process of reading and writing, which is designed to take place in person, had to be developed in a hybrid or online way, which was a major challenge for teachers and families and, of course, also for children who were in the process of learning. One of the aspects that was blurred in this context was the role of the teacher, which in this case is one of the most important elements, to achieve adequate learning of reading and writing. On one hand, the teacher is in charge of helping to manage the emotions derived from the learning process itself and, on the other hand, he is a key figure so that this is not only technical learning but also contributes to the child's socio-emotional development. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the socio-psychological changes that have occurred in the educational context since the COVID-19 pandemic on the emotions linked to the teaching process, learning of reading and writing through a systematic review of the studies carried out on the subject, in order to provide recommendations for face-to-face learning in the post-COVID-19 era. A systematic review strategy was devised and the literature search was conducted. The search was conducted using ERIC, Dialnet, Scopus, WoS, EBSCO, and Google Scholar databases. This systematic review took place during the month of May 2022. The results show that given the scarce presence of empirical studies on the subject, the objective has only been partially met. However, a systematic review of the studies carried out on the subject. For the identification of recommendations in the development of face-to-face learning in the post-covid era, it has been possible to identify some ideas of interest for future curricular designs in primary school students who are immersed in learning to read and write.

Affordance in Socio-Material Networks: A Mixed Method Study of Researchers' Groups and Analog-Digital Objects.

In this paper, we argue that we can better understand the relationship between social interaction and materiality by linking qualitative analysis of analog and digital practices, adopting Basov's model of socio-material networks. Our research questions turn about the interrogation of how social links distress the usage of analog and digital objects by researchers. We consider scientific networks with the relationship between researchers and their tools as a three-level social material network. It sheds light on how different types of researchers position their engagement with analog and digital materiality over time and its affordance and emotional attachment. This study contributes to the understanding of researchers' practices that involve new and old techniques and specific and not-specific tools.

Coronavirus mapping in scientific publications: When science advances rapidly and collectively, is access to this knowledge open to society?

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating a global health emergency. Mapping this health emergency in scientific publications demands multiple approaches to obtain a picture as complete as possible. To progress in the knowledge of this pandemic and to control its effects, international collaborations between researchers are essentials, as well as having open and immediate access to scientific publications, what we called "coopetition". Our main objectives are to identify the most productive countries in coronavirus publications, to analyse the international scientific collaboration on this topic, and to study the proportion and typology of open accessibility to these publications. We have analyzed 18,875 articles indexed in Web of Science. We performed the descriptive statistical analysis in order to explore the performance of the more prolific countries and organizations, as well as paying attention to the last 2 years. Registers have been analyzed separately via the VOSviewer software, drawing a network of links among countries and organizations to identify the starred countries and organizations, and the strongest links of the net. We have explored the capacity of researchers to generate scientific knowledge about a health crisis emergency, and their global capacity to collaborate among them in a global emergency. We consider that science is moving rapidly to find solutions to international health problems but access to this knowledge by society is not so quick due to several limitations (open access policies, corporate interests, etc.). We have observed that papers from China in the last 3 months (from January 2020 to March 2020) have a strong impact compared with papers published in years before. The United States and China are the major producers of documents of our sample, followed by all European countries, especially the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and France. At the same time, the leading role of Saudi Arabia, Canada or South Korea should be noted, with a significant number of documents submitted but very different dynamics of international collaboration. The proportion of international collaboration is growing in all countries in 2019-2020, which contrasts with the situation of the last two decades. The organizations providing the most documents to the sample are mostly Chinese. The percentage of open access articles on coronavirus for the period 2001-2020 is 59.2% but if we focus in 2020 the figures increase up to 91.4%, due to the commitment of commercial publishers with the emergency.

Revisión bibliográfica de colaboraciones birregionales en Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación entre Europa, América Latina y el Caribe / A bibliographic review of bi-regional collaborations in Science, Technology and Innovation between Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean / Uma revisão bibliográfica das colaborações bi-regionais em ciência, tecnologia e inovação entre Europa, América Latina e Caribe

Resumen Introducción: el presente trabajo tiene el objetivo de caracterizar la dinámica de publicación de asociaciones de investigación colaborativa entre Europa, América Latina y el Caribe (EULAC) en los últimos cuarenta años. Objetivo: adoptamos dos enfoques al analizar datos basados en los siguientes supuestos: 1) la colaboración se caracteriza por una relación central establecida entre investigadores de LAC y una institución de la UE., y 2) la colaboración birregional se caracteriza por una serie de publicaciones científicas realizadas por diferentes científicos e instituciones. Nuestra hipótesis es averiguar si las relaciones científicas birregionales entre los países de EULAC mediante la colaboración internacional se han visto fortalecidas en los últimos años gracias al esfuerzo institucional y de los investigadores para internacionalizar sus investigaciones. Materiales y métodos: ofrecemos una revisión de las publicaciones que incluye co-publicaciones de las instituciones de EULAC publicadas entre 1991 y 2016 para estudiar la colaboración de investigación birregional en diferentes áreas. Evaluamos la evolución temporal de la colaboración EULAC, el liderazgo de las publicaciones y el tipo de dominio de investigación cubierto. Hemos encontrado 43 trabajos de investigación que cumplen con nuestros criterios; los hemos dividido en tres categorías horizontales principales: colaboración de EULAC, colaboración iberoamericana y colaboración de países específicos de EULAC. Cada categoría se ha dividido en categorías verticales: todas las disciplinas y disciplinas específicas. Resultados: de esta revisión, es posible tener un mapeo de las co-publicaciones birregionales de EULAC divididas en áreas clave de conocimiento y los países con una colaboración científica más directa o débil. Conclusiones: hemos observado cuántos estudios se centran sólo en un área particular como la Biotecnología o la Nanotecnología, con una clara ausencia de literatura científica en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades.

Abstract Introduction: the present paper sets out to characterize the publication dynamics of collaborative research partnerships between Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean (EULAC) region in the last forty years. Objective: we adopt two approaches when analyzing data based on the following assumptions: 1) collaboration is characterized by a central relationship established between researchers from one LAC and one EU institution, 2) bi-regional collaboration is characterized by a series of scientific publications forged with different scientists and institutions. Our hypothesis is to find out if the bi-regional scientific relations between the EULAC countries through international collaboration have been strengthened in recent years thanks to the institutional and investigative efforts to internationalize their research. Materials and methods: we offer a literature review that involves co-publications from EULAC institutions published from 1991 to 2016 to study bi-regional research collaboration in different areas. We evaluate the temporal evolution of EULAC collaboration, the leadership of the publications, and the type of research domain covered. We have found 43 research papers that comply with our criteria. We have divided these into three main horizontal categories: EULAC collaboration, Ibero-American collaboration, and Specific EULAC countries collaboration. Each category has been divided into vertical categories: All disciplines, and Specific disciplines. Results: from this review, it is possible to have a map of the EULAC bi-regional co-publications divided into key areas of knowledge and the countries with more straight or weak scientific collaboration. Conclusions: we have observed how many studies are focused only on a particular area like Biotechnology or Nanotechnology, with a lack of scientific literature in Social Science and Humanities.

"It's All Discursive!" Crossing Boundaries and Crossing Words with Rom Harré / "¡Todo es discursivo!" Cruzando los límites y erosionando las palabras con Rom Harré

Rom Harré is one of the most important figures in academia of recent decades. Born in New Zealand he developed most of his career in Oxford. Influenced by authors such as John Austin, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Lev Vygotsky, Ha-rré has produced his own and innovative approach to humanities and social sciences topics. His writings on philosophy of science have been focused on destabilizing the central doctrines of logical empiricism and positivism. However, his work has been not only influential in philosophy but also in other fields. This paper introduces his main contributions to psychology in general and social psychology in particular. It presents an interview with Rom Harré which outlines an approach to the author and his contributions to the social psychology crisis. Some key concepts in social sciences and in Rom's own work are also addressed, and research lines he advises to follow in the next decade are examined. The interview depicts Rom Harré as a scholar who crosses the boundaries between different disciplines and places.

Cholesterics of colloidal helices: predicting the macroscopic pitch from the particle shape and thermodynamic state.

Building a general theoretical framework to describe the microscopic origin of macroscopic chirality in (colloidal) liquid crystals is a long-standing challenge. Here, we combine classical density functional theory with Monte Carlo calculations of virial-type coefficients to obtain the equilibrium cholesteric pitch as a function of thermodynamic state and microscopic details. Applying the theory to hard helices, we observe both right- and left-handed cholesteric phases that depend on a subtle combination of particle geometry and system density. In particular, we find that entropy alone can even lead to a (double) inversion in the cholesteric sense of twist upon changing the packing fraction. We show how the competition between single-particle properties (shape) and thermodynamics (local alignment) dictates the macroscopic chiral behavior. Moreover, by expanding our free-energy functional, we are able to assess, quantitatively, Straley's theory of weak chirality, which is used in several earlier studies. Furthermore, by extending our theory to different lyotropic and thermotropic liquid-crystal models, we analyze the effect of an additional soft interaction on the chiral behavior of the helices. Finally, we provide some guidelines for the description of more complex chiral phases, like twist-bend nematics. Our results provide new insights into the role of entropy in the microscopic origin of this state of matter.

Critical casimir forces and colloidal phase transitions in a near-critical solvent: a simple model reveals a rich phase diagram.

From experimental studies, it is well known that colloidal particles suspended in a near-critical binary solvent exhibit interesting aggregation phenomena, often associated with colloidal phase transitions and assumed to be driven by long-ranged solvent-mediated (SM) interactions (critical Casimir forces), set by the (diverging) correlation length of the solvent. We present the first simulation and theoretical study of an explicit model of a ternary mixture that mimics this situation. Both the effective SM pair interactions and the full ternary phase diagram are determined for Brownian disks suspended in an explicit two-dimensional supercritical binary liquid mixture. Gas-liquid and fluid-solid transitions are observed in a region that extends well away from criticality of the solvent reservoir. We discuss to what extent an effective pair-potential description can account for the phase behavior we observe. Our study provides a fresh perspective on how proximity to the critical point of the solvent reservoir might influence colloidal self-assembly.

Tuning biaxiality of nematic phases of board-like colloids by an external magnetic field.

We study the influence of a magnetic field on the biaxial nematic phase of board-like goethite colloids both experimentally and theoretically. Using synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering techniques we find that applying a magnetic field along the main director of the biaxial nematic phase leads to a clear decrease in biaxiality with increasing magnetic field strength. Above a certain magnetic field strength the biaxiality is completely suppressed and the biaxial nematic phase transforms into an ordinary prolate uniaxial nematic phase. In order to interpret the physical mechanism behind this phenomenon, we develop a mean-field theory for the liquid crystal phase behaviour of the suspension. Within this theory the magnetic properties of the particles are modelled by taking into account the effect of both the permanent and the induced magnetic dipoles. The resulting phase diagrams support our experimental findings of the field-induced biaxial nematic to prolate uniaxial nematic transition. They additionally predict that for more plate-like particles, which initially would only display oblate nematic ordering of the shortest axis, the rare biaxial phase can be induced by applying a magnetic field with a carefully chosen field strength, a parameter which can be easily tuned.

Issues in the management of acute agitation: how much current guidelines consider safety?

Agitated behavior constitutes up to 10% of emergency psychiatric interventions. Pharmacological tranquilization is often used as a valid treatment for agitation but a strong evidence base does not underpin it. Available literature shows different recommendations, supported by research data, theoretical considerations, or clinical experience. Rapid tranquilization (RT) is mainly based on parenteral drug treatment and the few existing guidelines on this topic, when suggesting the use of first generation antipsychotics and benzodiazepines, include drugs with questionable tolerability profile such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, midazolam, and lorazepam. In order to systematically evaluate safety concerns related to the adoption of such guidelines, we reviewed them independently from principal diagnosis while examining tolerability data for suggested treatments. There is a growing evidence about safety profile of second generation antipsychotics for RT but further controlled studies providing definitive data in this area are urgently needed.

Heterogeneous dynamics in columnar liquid crystals of parallel hard rods.

In the wake of previous studies on the rattling-and-jumping diffusion in smectic liquid crystal phases of colloidal rods, we analyze here for the first time the heterogeneous dynamics in columnar phases. More specifically, we perform computer simulations to investigate the relaxation dynamics of a binary mixture of perfectly aligned hard spherocylinders. We detect that the columnar arrangement of the system produces free-energy barriers that the particles should overcome to jump from one column to another, thus determining a hopping-type diffusion. This phenomenon accounts for the non-Gaussian intercolumn diffusion and shows a two-step structural relaxation that is remarkably analogous to that of out-of-equilibrium glass-forming systems and gels. Surprisingly enough, slight deviations from the behavior of simple liquids due to transient cages is also observed in the direction perpendicular to this plane, where the system is usually referred to as liquidlike.

Glassy dynamics, spinodal fluctuations, and the kinetic limit of nucleation in suspensions of colloidal hard rods.

Using simulations we identify three dynamic regimes in supersaturated isotropic fluid states of short hard rods: (i) for moderate supersaturations, we observe nucleation of multilayered crystalline clusters; (ii) at higher supersaturation, we find nucleation of small crystallites which arrange into long-lived locally favored structures that get kinetically arrested; and (iii) at even higher supersaturation, the dynamic arrest is due to the conventional cage-trapping glass transition. For longer rods we find that the formation of the (stable) smectic phase out of a supersaturated isotropic state is strongly suppressed by an isotropic-nematic spinodal instability that causes huge spinodal-like orientation fluctuations with nematic clusters diverging in size. Our results show that glassy dynamics and spinodal instabilities set kinetic limits to nucleation in highly supersaturated hard-rod fluids.

El estudio psicosocial de las emociones: una revisión y discusión de la investigación actual / The social psychology study of emotions: research review / O estudo psicossocial das emoções: revisão e discussão sobre a investigação atual

Research on emotions has been an outstanding area of work in the Social Sciences. Social Psychology has also made relevant contributions tothe development of this area. In this paper, we analyze some of these contributions, especially those that conceive emotions as sociallyconstructed phenomena. Specifically, we pose a discussion on the general characteristics of the social psychology of emotions and, based onthis discussion, we underscore those possible lines of inquiry in which current research on the subject can find continuity. This work is theresult of a review of last scholar publications. Such publications have been organized according to their thematic specificity and latter classifiedin one of the following categories: (1) Perception of the nature of emotions; (2) processes of consumption of emotions; and (3) discursivepractices on emotions. As of the first category, we have taken into account current outstanding research on the perception of the nature of anemotion. Such research can be synthesized in five looks: anthropologic, semantic, communicative, identity-building, and the one that escapesfrom social control. In regard to the second category, research that deals with emotions as an object of consumption has been analyzed. Finally,the third category has been treated through the review of research that is based on the idea of emotion as a linguistic production.(AU)

O estudo das emoções tem sido uma das áreas de mais investigação mais importantes das ciências sociais. A psicologia social também temcontribuído para o estudo das emoções, entendida como construção social. Especificamente, neste artigo, fizemos uma discussão sobre ascaracterísticas gerais da psicologia das emoções e as possíveis linhas de continuidade desta área de investigação. Nesse sentido, realizamosrevisões de referências bibliográficas dos últimos anos, organizando-as tematicamente e classificando em três categorias: 1) percepção danatureza das emoções; 2) processo de consumo das emoções; 3) práticas discursivas das emoções. Na primeira categoria, consideramos asprincipais e mais recentes investigações sobre a percepção sobre a natureza de uma emoção as quais sintetizamos em cinco aspectos: antropologia,semântica, comunicação, construção de identidade e aquela que escapa do controle social. Na segunda categoria tratamos dos trabalhosque entendem as emoções como produto de consumo. Finalmente, na terceira, revisamos os estudos que concebem as emoções como produçãolingüística.(AU)
