Strategic leadership and its impact on dynamic capabilities and sustainable competitive advantages(Emerald, 2025-04-08) Abdeen, Haya; Pablos Heredero, Carmen de; Cosculluela Martínez, Carolina; Montes-Botella, Jose-LuisPurpose-This research examines the relationship between strategic leadership, dynamic capabilities and sustainable competitive advantages. Unlike previous studies that focused on different independent variables or lacked intervening variables altogether, this research delves into how the various dimensions of strategic leadership and sustainable competitive advantage can enhance, thereby strengthening the dynamic capabilities of the organization and how strategic leadership itself can impact on sustaining competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach-The descriptive analytical method was used to achieve the objectives of the study and answer its questions. Statistical information was conducted through structured equation modelling with Smart-PLS.4 with data coming from a representative sample of Palestinian pharmaceutical companies. Findings-The results of the study concluded that strategic leadership positively impacts sustainable competitive advantages and that sustainable competitive advantage is positively affected by the dimensions of strategic leadership (human capital, social capital) in Palestinian pharmaceutical companies. The results also showed that strategic leadership has a positive impact on the dynamic capabilities of Palestinian pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, the results showed that sustainable competitive advantage has a positive impact on the dynamic capabilities in Palestinian pharmaceutical companies and that dynamic capabilities are affected by sensing ability, learning ability and integration ability. Finally, the results showed that sustaining competitive advantage impacts on the technological innovation, knowledge management and organizational agility of Palestinian pharmaceutical companies. Practical implications-The study provides guidelines for managers and policymakers with practical insights on how to utilize strategic leadership practices to improve dynamic capabilities and foster sustainable competitive advantages; furthermore, how to create supportive environments for leadership and innovation in regions with socio-economic challenges, and also assists in strategic leadership's ability to adapt in emerging economies. Originality/value-This research shows that strategic leadership contributes to achieving sustainable competitive advantages in Palestinian pharmaceutical companies by directing them towards change and innovation and developing dynamic capabilities that allow the company to adapt to industrial transformations and compete effectively in the market. Firms can, therefore, provide evidence through this analysis of how sustainable competitive advantages can be explained as a result of effective strategic leadership and the deployment of dynamic capabilities.Access status: Open Access ,

Cortical activity during sensorial tactile stimulation in healthy adults through Vojta therapy. A randomized pilot controlled trial(Springer Nature, 2021) Sanz-Esteban, Ismael; Cano-de -la -Cuerda, Roberto; San-Martín-Gómez; Jiménez-Antona, Carmen; Monge-Pereira, Esther; Barranco-Estrada, Cecilia; Serrano, José IgnacioAbstract Background: Brain’s is stimulated by Vojta Therapy through selected body areas activating stored innate motor programs which are exported as coordinate movement and muscle contractions to trunk and limbs. The aim of this pilot study is to know the responses at cortical level to a specific tactile input, assessed by electroencephalography (EEG), compared to a sham stimulation, in healthy subjects. Methods: A randomized-controlled trial was conducted. Participants were randomly distributed into two groups: a non-specific tactile input-group (non-STI-group) (n = 20) and a Vojta specific tactile input-group (V-STI-group) (n = 20). The non-STI-group was stimulated in a non specific area (quadriceps distal area) and V-STI-group was stimulated in a specific area (intercostal space, at the mammillary line between the 7th and 8th ribs) according to the Vojta therapy. Recording was performed with EEG for 10 min considering a first minute of rest, 8 min during the stimulus and 1 min after the stimulus. EEG activity was recorded from 32 positions with active Ag/AgCl scalp electrodes following the 10–20 system. The continuous EEG signal was split into consecutive segments of one minute. Results: The V-STI-group showed statistically significant differences in the theta, low alpha and high alpha bands, bilaterally in the supplementary motor (SMA) and premotor (PMA) areas (BA6 and BA8), superior parietal cortex (BA5, BA7) and the posterior cingulate cortex (BA23, BA31). For the V-STI-group, all frequency bands presented an initial bilateral activation of the superior and medial SMA (BA6) during the first minute. This activation was maintained until the fourth minute. During the fourth minute, the activation decreased in the three frequency bands. From the fifth minute, the activation in the superior and medial SMA rose again in the three frequency bands Conclusions: Our findings highlight that the specific stimulation area at intercostal space, on the mammillary line between 7 and 8th ribs according to Vojta therapy differentially increased bilateral activation in SMA (BA6) and Pre- SMA (BA8), BA5, BA7, BA23 and BA31 in the theta, low and high alpha bands in healthy subjects. These results could indicate the activation of innate locomotor circuits during stimulation of the pectoral area according to the Vojta therapy.Access status: Open Access ,

Ciencia e imaginación en la apreciación estética de la naturaleza. Una aproximación a la obra de Tim Birkhead y John Baker(UAM Ediciones, 2015-10-29) Arribas Herguedas, FernandoEste artículo esboza una perspectiva moderadamente pluralista de la apreciación estética de la naturaleza que armoniza la tesis central del modelo cognitivista científico de Allen Carlson con los enfoques que otorgan un papel crucial a la imaginación, como los desarrollados por Ronald Hepburn y Emily Brady. Para ello, se recurre a la lectura paralela de dos obras que no son estrictamente filosóficas: Bird Sense, del biólogo Tim Birkhead, y The Peregrine de John A. Baker. Ambas obras comparten el intento de contemplar el mundo desde una conciencia diferente, lo que exige el concurso simultáneo del método científico y del esfuerzo imaginativo propio del discurso filosófico y la sensibilidad estética.
