Los antropónimos femeninos latinos de origen griego de la Península Ibérica

La presencia de nombres propios de origen griego en las inscripciones latinas de la Península Ibérica es notable. Abarca además un amplio período cronológico que se extiende en el tiempo como demuestra la documentación medieval procedente de iglesias y centros religiosos. El artículo muestra que la adaptación fonética y morfológica de estos nombres en latín se produjo de forma limitada, lo que justifica que la variedad de las formas de estos nombres griegos no conociera una expansión fuera del círculo cerrado de individuos que los llevaron en su momento.The presence of Greek Personal Names in the Latin in inscriptions coming from the Iberian Peninsula is considerable. Furthermore, from the evidence found in religious centres it is clear that these inscriptions comprise a broad chronological period reaching to Medieval times. This paper shows that the Phonetic and Morphological adaptation of these names was very limited in Latin. Consequently, the fact that the various forms of these Greek names did not expand outside the closed community which bore them is justified.El texto de este artículo fue presentado como comunicación en el XXIV Congreso Internacional de ICOS sobre Ciencias Onomásticas, Barcelona, 5-9 de septiembre de 2011 y se enmarca dentro del proyecto de investigación FFI2010-21807

Examples of holistic good practices in promoting and protecting mental health in the workplace: current and future challenges

Background: While attention has been paid to physical risks in the work environment and the promotion of individual employee health, mental health protection and promotion have received much less focus. Psychosocial risk management has not yet been fully incorporated in such efforts. This paper presents good practices in promoting mental health in the workplace in line with World Health Organization (WHO) guidance by identifying barriers, opportunities, and the way forward in this area. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 17 experts who were selected on the basis of their knowledge and expertise in relation to good practice identified tools. Interviewees were asked to evaluate the approaches on the basis of the WHO model for healthy workplaces. Results: The examples of good practice for Workplace Mental Health Promotion (WMHP) are in line with the principles and the five keys of the WHO model. They support the third objective of the WHO comprehensive mental health action plan 2013e2020 for multisectoral implementation of WMHP strategies. Examples of good practice include the engagement of all stakeholders and representatives, science-driven practice, dissemination of good practice, continual improvement, and evaluation. Actions to inform policies/legislation, promote education on psychosocial risks, and provide better evidence were suggested for higher WMHP success. Conclusion: The study identified commonalities in good practice approaches in different countries and stressed the importance of a strong policy and enforcement framework as well as organizational responsibility for WMHP. For progress to be achieved in this area, a holistic and multidisciplinary approach was unanimously suggested as a way to successful implementation

The effect of team affective tone on team performance : the roles of team identification and team cooperation

Affective tones abound in work teams. Drawing on the affect infusion model and social identity theory, this study proposes that team affective tone is related to team performance indirectly through team identification and team cooperation. Data from 141 hybrid-virtual teams drawn from high-tech companies in Taiwan generally supported our model. Specifically, positive affective tone is positively associated – while negative affective tone is negatively associated – with both team identification and team cooperation, team identification is positively associated with team cooperation, and team cooperation is positively associated with team performance. Managerial implications and limitations are discussed

The Sex of Interactants Affects Perceptions of Sexism in Ambiguous Situations

Previous research has demonstrated that when a message is ambiguous, individuals make assumptions about the intent of the message being sent. Building on error management theory and heuristic decision making, we conducted three studies that manipulated the sex of the sender and receiver of messages in a specific scenario and asked observers to rate the sender’s sexism (Studies 1-3) and other elements of the situation (Studies 2-3). We also examined the degree to which various attitudes – concern for political correctness (Studies 1 and 2), social justice (Study 2), ambivalence toward men (Study 2), and neosexism (Study 3) – explained unique variance in respondent ratings. Across all three studies, we found that when the receiver was a woman, the sender (regardless of sex) was rated as significantly more sexist, but this effect was amplified when the sender was a man. In Studies 1 and 2, none of the attitude variables interacted in a consistent way with the sex of the interactants. In Study 3, however, results suggested that those low in neosexism showed more pronounced ratings of sexism in the male sender-female receiver condition. The results of the study have implications for future research in the areas of sexism, social prediction, and heuristic decision making
