A qua...

Ibero‐American research on information behavior (IB) lacks the visibility typical of other parts of the world, and little is known about it in countries outside the area. The objective of this paper has therefore been to analyze the way in which Ibero‐American research incorporates various theoretical references to empirical research on IB. The res...

Alterations in pain perception have been observed in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Some research suggests the existence of a possible hyposensitivity, while others describe a hypersensitivity to pain in people with schizophrenia. In summary, the studies present contradictory results.

In European universities, teaching ethics has acquired special relevance with the Bologna Process and changes in curriculum. In Spain, the White Book of the Degree in Information and Documentation incorporates ethics as a specific competence, through the combination of ethical, social, and legal content, as a transversal competence. In this context...
