This paper studies a set of profiles of women written by Marta Brunet for the Chilean magazine Ecran between 1935 and 1936, published in her column "Alrededor de una mujer" (Around a Woman). This column was an important space for the divulgation and appraisal of artistic and intellectual activities of Latin American women of the period. The profiles are analyzed considering the medium in which they circulated. In this sense, I maintain that, unlike the female models that Ecran publicized on its pages, in Brunet s column the qualities of modern women were highlighted, with trajectories where work, travel and self-training were decisive for carrying out a personal and original project.

The relationship between coping responses and test anxiety was addressed by different investigations. However, no studies have been found about coping profiles and their relationship to test anxiety. The objective of this research was to study the coping profiles of 100 psychology students and their relationship with test anxiety. A solution of three well differentiated clusters was found regarding the mean scores of coping responses. It was found that the participants belonging to the cluster with the lowest scores in all the coping responses experienced a lower level of concern, emotionality and global test anxiety. The implications of these results are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study we explore the elements that integrate the profiles of university graduates in Peru of the audiovisual communication career and the implications of the sociocultural context in their graduate research. The objective is to identify the profiles of university graduates and the implications of the sociocultural context during the development of the process. With qualitative methodology, the interpretative paradigm model and using the semi-structured interview technique, we identify their perceptions. The conclusions remark that the elements that integrate these profiles have particularities that must be considered when entering the labor market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Several variables inherent to the profile of new university students affect their likelihood of achieving optimal adaptation and finishing the studies they embark upon. A cornerstone of this is the vocational factor as, to some extent, it influences the commitment and willingness of students to tackle the learning process with ambition and enthusiasm. The main aim of the present work was to identify student profiles based on their reasons for undertaking Early Childhood Education, Primary Education and Social Education degrees. The present study adopts a surveytype methodology and follows a cross-sectional, descriptive and associative design, in which the set of individuals that make up the sample are grouped using a hierarchical approach. To this end, data are processed according to multivariate statistical methods (clustering). The sample was selected incidentally and is composed of 376 first year students undertaking one of three degrees within the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Sports Sciences at Huelva University. Findings reveal the existence of three possible groupings in terms of the profile of students enrolled on degrees. Two of these groups pertain to variables that are linked with vocational aspects, although a smaller group also exists in which this is not the case. Moreover, degrees in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Social Education continue to be feminised, whilst the "wild card" entry option continues to be applied to Primary Education degrees.

The digital transition has led journalism and journalists into the scenario that shapes today's communication ecosystem and that demands new competencies and skills to exercise the profession. In three decades of changes, we have gone from the first digital migration, the emergence of digital-native media, the arrival of blogs, the rise of mobile communication, the emergence of social media networks, the rise of the social web, the application of virtual reality to certain pieces, the emergence of artificial intelligence, etc. to the rise of 5G and blockchain technologies. This transition has meant leaving behind a one-to-many communication model to bring many-to-many communication to the forefront, placing us in a liquid and platformized society. Communication is in the environment, being ubiquitous, while disinformation accompanies us in every movement and the challenges of building better-informed societies are multiplying. Journalists need up-to-date competencies and skills if they want to inform about what is happening in this complex networked society. Curricula are trying to respond to this challenge, while reflections on the best formulas combining sociocultural and sociotechnological competencies and skills are multiplying. After this phase of experimentation, this challenge calls for a renewal of proposals for the second half of the third decade of the millennium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The crisis considered as the "Great Confinement" caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease has had a multidimensional impact on humanity, on a health, social, economic, and political level. One of the main effects has been reflected in an economic crisis unparalleled in human history. In the economic history of the human being, each crisis of a wide magnitude has demonstrated a relationship between sociodemographic and economic factors and the growth of the informal economy, such as the level of earnings, scholarship, search of an extra job sex and levels of inequality and poverty. Method: Database was obtained from harmonized surveys made available by INEGI and SHCP, from where both quantitative and categorical data were identified that correspond to the structuralist and institutionalist dimension of informality. Based on that, we applied a Logit model to determine the probability of a person to belong to the informal sector of the economy, and a Probit model to identify reiterated variables of the model as well. Results: Statistically representative variables to determine the probability to belong to the informal sector, with a global percentage of 72.5 %, are the years of school, age, economic inequality, percentage of poverty in each state, the degree of spending in fiscal obligations, the level of fiscal compensations due to belonging to RIF, the type of occupation, sex and the level of minimal wages earned. Discussion or Conclusion: Considering the findings of the research, it is possible to infer that the people with higher risk of falling in the informality and continuing in it, show a characteristic profile that can be considered as a valid base to design effective public policies to reduce informality. The present research contributes trough the identification of a model that describes the profile of an individual with a higher probability of integrate to the informal sector of the economy, considering both sociodemographic and market structure factors, considering the effect of the pandemics in the current economic conditions.

School refusal behavior is defined as any child or youth's difficulty to attend classes or to remain in the school. This behavior could be based or not on anxiety and prevalence rates from 5 to 28% if it is considered any type of rejection towards the school. Adolescents demonstrating school refusal behaviors are very likely to demonstrate poorer academic performance, more stress, behavior problems and family conflicts. The psychological, social and educational relevance of the present study is due to the scarce of previous studies that have evaluated the school refusal behavior in Latin America and the high dropout rates that they face in this region. This study is focused on two countries, Ecuador and Chile, in order to identify possible differences regarding school refusal behavior scores between adolescents in both countries. The aim of this investigation was to examine the mean differences scores on school refusal behavior and the formation of school refusal behavior profiles in Ecuadorian and Chilean adolescents to determine whether these results differ from one another based on the geographical origin. In this study participated a total of 4266 students aged between 13 and 17 years old from Ecuador (M = 14.83, SD = 1.86; N = 1588) and Chile (M = 15.23; SD = 1.26; N = 2678). These students were selected by cluster random sampling. The measure used to assess the school refusal behavior was the School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised (SRAS-R). The SRAS-R is a self-report measure that assesses the relative strength of four proposed functions, or maintaining variables, of school refusal behavior: Factor I. Avoidance of school-based stimuli that provoke Negative Affectivity; Factor II. Escape from aversive Social/Evaluative situations at school; Factor III. Pursuit of Attention from Significant others; and Factor IV. Pursuit of Tangible Reinforcement outside of school. The SRAS-R was administered during the school day (a session of approximately 20 minutes) in groups who completed the scale anonymously in accordance with the ethical standards and also emphasizing the voluntary nature of the test. Regarding the results, mean differences scores on school refusal behavior revealed statistically significant differences of small magnitude with Chilean students reaching higher mean scores in school refusal behavior in order to pursuit the attention from significant others and to obtain tangible reinforces external to the school, in comparison with their equals from Ecuador. Cluster analysis confirmed four school refusal profiles in both countries: Low School Refusal Behavior (characterized by low school refusal behavior scores for the four factors of the SRASR), High School Refusal Behavior (characterized by high school refusal behavior scores for the four factors of the SRAS-R), Anxious School Refusal Behavior (profile that combines high scores on the first three factors of the SRAS-R and moderate scores for the fourth) and Absentee School Refusal Behavior (profile that combines moderate levels for the first three factors of the SRAS-R but high in the fourth factor). The results revealed a small variability between the school refusal behavior profiles across the countries. However, Chilean adolescents scored significantly higher than Ecuadorians in school refusal based on the search for tangible external reinforcements. The results of this research supported a low variability of the findings according to the country. The generalization of these results supports the transcultural validity of the SRAS-R and emphasizes that Ecuador and Chile share a similar situation regarding school refusal behavior. Some limitations of this work are considered, and they are proposed as future lines of research. To conclude, the results are discussed taking into account the defining cultural characteristics of each country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The braking system of a car must meet a complex set of requirements, with safety being the most important. In the design of these systems, it directly influences a correct geometry and an adequate selection of the material for its correct operation. The objective of this work is to propose a new geometric arrangement for the optimization of airflow in an automotive brake disc, taking into account the ventilation pillars based on aerodynamic profiles type N-38. In the validation of this design proposal, a 1:1 scale prototype was built by means of additive manufacturing and thus be able to measure the field of generating speeds in the suction and discharge zone using Particle Image Velocimetry (VIP). The geometric arrangement was carried out under two angular velocity conditions: 541 and 941 rpm. The results showed the optimization of the air velocity in the discharge zone of 0.2121 and 0.743 m/s respectively for the speed ranges; which demonstrates the importance of experimental designs with which the geometry of self-ventilated disc brakes can be improved and thus the efficiency and safety of the system are required.

A conceptual proposal of the profiles and roles that communicators can assume during the coverage of a disaster was developed based on the discourse analysis of the interventions made by the anchorpersons of the Chilean broadcast TV newscasts during the 8.8 Mw earthquake of 2010. This was used to identify and describe the presence of three potential profiles: informative (descriptive presentation of the content), judgmental (a judgment position prevails), and of dialogue with the audience (direct message to viewers). The data shows that the predominant profile was the informative one, whereas the judgmental appears strongly during the first days of disaster and then weakens, and that the dialogue with the audience is strengthened from the third day. These results open a line of research on the role of the media to promote the spontaneous recovery of a population faced with a trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2017 female mayors made up 14.2% (349) of all mayoral positions in the country, thanks to the gender equity principle incorporated into Mexican regulatory norms. On the one hand, arguably gradual progress has been made in terms of gender equity within the municipalities. However, hegemonic masculinity still has a strong presence at this level of government: for every female mayor governing, there are 6 male mayors. Based on a 10% sample of total women mayors in Mexico, and analyzing their profiles and professional trajectories, one thing becomes clear: these women continue to face a series of obstacles in obtaining and retaining their current positions. This is the result of a political culture that seems to seek to exclude women from the public sphere. We can also identify certain elements related to gender and political violence against women. In some cases, political violence can mean intimidation and threats, but it can also be as extreme as kidnappings and/or assassinations of family members. Women mayors know the main general problems within their own municipalities, but thanks to the institutional and legislative achievements the feminist movement wrought, these women can recognize much easier the core issues facing women. And while only half of these women, most of them manage to implement programs, protocols, rules, that attend to women's needs directly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present article is a synthesis of the research: The profiles of the students of the bachelor of the UNAM (2nd Phase). This study is a contribution to the current knowledge of the students of both the National High School and the National School College of Sciences and Humanities. It aims to influence the planning, organization, operation and evaluation of the impact of an orientation service, which puts the necessary knowledge of the young people who are the main users of the service. The design of the research instrument (questionnaire options) was derived from five dimensions of study. It was applied to 2% of the school population. What is presented here is an advance study: descriptive and general profiles of students. The first phase was published in No. 27 of the OAR. The analysis and deepening of the results phase is under development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The need to prevent avoidable deaths and to contain the emotional impact of suicidal behavior requires studies to better understand the phenomenon and to increase the effectiveness of prevention and intervention strategies. Suicidal behavior has a very heterogeneus characterization, which is influenced by cultural, evolutionary, and gender features, and its classification could facilitate a better approach to this problem. This study was intended to describe the different prototypical psychological profiles of the adolescent with suicidal behavior, based on an existing classification proposal that is extended with other relevant clinical variables. A cross-sectional and descriptive design was employed in a sample of patients between 8-17 years old attended in a pediatric emergency unit between November 2013 and December 2014. Data was collected by means of semistructured interviews. The classification showed that adolescents in group I, the most prevalent (60%), were characterized by a higher prevalence of maladaptive personality traits, behavioral disorders, more mental health hospital admissions, self-harm behaviors, and half of them had a history of previous suicidal behavior. Those in group II (30%) had a higher prevalence of mood disorders. Group III (10%) showed a high percentage of autolysis attempts (>75%) when compared to other type of suicidal behavior, identifying relational conflicts as the most frequent triggers. To obtain these prototypic profiles and their corresponding clinical and psychopathological characteristics in the study sample suggests different treatments tailored to each specific profile.

The experience of the Library of the Faculty of Law of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) is presented, where patrons use tablets to access books that have been acquired in electronic format. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of titles that are being distributed in paper with an electronic copy attached (duo). These are characterized by the indivisibility of the pack and the increase in their price. This system encourages both the individual and private use of the copies by using a code associated with the user's profile. The creation of a specific system based on the use of a tablet in order to provide the user public access to these copies is described. The system duplicates the number of copies available to users. In addition to access to e-books, a selection of electronic resources and programs previously offered by the University has been included in the tablets. The tablets are also configured for teaching uses, both for seminars and exams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analysed the profiles of organizations based on employee perceptions of their workplace. The sample consisted of 459 Argentinian employees (232 men; average age, 36.3 years (SD = 11.7)). The participants worked for public companies (17.2%, n = 79) or private companies (82.6%, n = 379). Most of them lived in Buenos Aires and surrounding areas (96.5%, n = 443). A protocol was used for data collection, in which the participants were asked to report positive and negative characteristics associated with their organization. A content analysis of the answers given by the participants was performed, from which different categories of characteristics were derived (e.g., work climate, commitment, values). Several multiple correspondence analyses were conducted to generate profiles according to individual variables (i.e., gender, age, and position), organizational variables (i.e., size, typology, and type), and outcome variables (i.e., performance and job satisfaction). One of the most significant profiles showed associations between the perception of positive characteristics, such as values and outcomes, and high levels of satisfaction and individual/organizational performance.

This work analyzed, separately in women and men, the relationship between impulsivity and alcohol consumption. We classified participants in three classes of alcohol consumption. We subsequently assessed differences in trait impulsivity between these classes. Four-hundred and thirty five participants completed an online survey. The different indicators of alcohol consumption exhibited a differential association with the impulsivity dimensions of the UPPS-P model. This pattern was similar in men and women. A multiple regression approach revealed a significant contribution of negative (β between .24 and .34) and positive urgency (β between .15 and .28) upon alcohol consumption and alcohol-related consequences. The three classes of alcohol consumption exhibited differences in impulsivity, in women but not in men. Women exhibiting risky consumption had significantly greater impulsivity than low-consumer women did in the five dimensions of UPPS-P. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inequity in the socioterritorial ICT's appropriation was mainly approached from an accessibility perspective to these devices and services. However, with increased avail- ability of these tools, accessibility appears to be insufficient to mitigate the digital divide impacts, which generated the need for a complementary approach based on the quality and efficiency of use. The advent of microdata opened the possibility to a comprehensive approach and, in the same way, a new conceptual and operational challenge for research. In order to access the new readings of the digital divide concept, this essay proposes an exploration through profiles ICT's uses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to demonstrate that the current constitutional and legal framework, regarding the profiles of candidates for the Honorable Congress of the Republic of Colombia, it falls short on requirements of ethical and moral, for setting the requirements for access, to the legislative branch of government. This means that in such corporation, lives permanently Colombian democracy as their delegates, representing the people, in making important decisions with implications, of all kinds, political, social, economic, cultural, fiscal, financial, and others. The thesis we defend is built from the principles of the rule of law as a state where the main character is the common citizen, the ordinary citizen, that in terms of Ferrajoli, correspond to the protection of fundamental rights as weaker law. For this study, we rely on three foundational topics, namely: (i) the adequacy of management concerning legal profiles for aspirants to the honorable Congress of the Republic of Colombia, (ii) effects on participatory democracy versus political exercise eligibility parliamentary around profiles of the candidates, (iii) social reality and democratic participation: in search of a political exercise in favor of citizens.

In order to establish the effect of sampling hour and sex on blood glucose levels and total protein, there were monitored six Colombian native sheep for 3 days. The blood samples were taken by jugular venipuncture, after asepsis and stored at -20°C to its subsequent processing through Spectrophotometry. The results were tabulated in Excel and analyzed using statistical program SAS 9.1. The mean values found were: glucose 75.57 ± 27.5 mg/dL for females and 83.70 ± 37.7 mg/dL for males; total protein 8.47 ± 2.76 g/dL for females and 7.14 ± 3.26 g/dL for males; albumin 4.29 ± 1.41 g/dL for females and 3.83 ± 1.46 g/dL for males; globulin 4.62 ± 2.35 g/dL for females and 3.92 ± 2.45 g/dL for males. The day and the hour of sampling affect serum concentrations (p<0.05) of evaluated metabolites, also there was variation of themself regarding sex (p<0.05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Policy has been traditionally seen as a male activity. In the last times, and as the political rights of women had been extended, these have gained power positions, that until not long ago, were difficult to conceive. Despite this positive irruption, empirical evidence has shown that, there are marked asymmetries in the access to power, and the exercise of the same. Considering this, it`s a question to consider: What are the factors that explain women are arriving less than men legislative seats?; Are there differences between men and women of the legislative elite?; What are the profiles of the male and female Mexicans deputies? The present paper examines the gender differences in the Mexican legislative elite, based on a construction of the profiles of the male and female deputies in the country from a number of socio-demographic and political socialization indicators.

The main objective of this study is to identify the vegan activist profile in Spain, with vegans being the most committed group within the animal liberation movement. Through online questionnaires, we analyzed socio-demographic characteristics, ideological and emotional aspects of the participants, their process of conversion, as well as their preferences regarding activism strategies. The findings are very similar to previous studies about animal rights activists, especially those conducted in the United States. The paper concludes with recommendations aimed at animal organizations, companies and governments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
