This article investigates the impact of background binaural music on educational attainment within the context of a natural experiment. In a university business school, 73 undergraduate students participated in this study, providing a maximum of 707 observations at 16 points in time. The students were divided into three groups (Microeconomics A and B, and International Economics) and were further categorized into control and experimental groups at different stages of the courses. All students attended classes from January to June 2021, with the addition of binaural music as a treatment in either the first or second part of the courses (divided into three parts). After each lecture, students completed a multiple-choice quiz designed to assess their learning during the lecture. Utilizing t-tests for mean comparisons and panel data econometric techniques, the study found that the scores of the experimental groups were significantly higher than those of the control groups. Overall, binaural music was observed to increase quiz scores by 8 to 20 basis points. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To investigate the role living arrangements play in the co-dynamics of socioeconomic position and health in the latter part of life. Materials and methods. Based on longitudinal data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS), latent class analysis (LCA) and locally weighted regressions, in this article we estimate age trajectories to examine the degree to which wealth and health-related outcomes correlate with typical living arrangement dynamics. Results. Main results suggest a complex dynamic relationship between living arrangements and social inequalities in health, with important differences by sex, unlike mortality trends as they appear to diverge with differences in wealth regardless of household structure. Conclusions. Our methodological approach provides new insights regarding the likely effect household structure play when analyzing the dynamics of social inequality. To date, this is the first longitudinal analysis to offer this kind of empirical evidence for the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The studies' classification as cross-sectional or longitudinal constitutes one of the methodological aspects that are declared in the research projects corresponding to the specialty's completion works. This article offers clarifying elements for the distinction between both types of studies; In this sense, it is considered that the longitudinal study's defining essence lies in the researcher's interest in the changes over time of the investigated phenomenon.

Objetivo: describir los patrones de actividad física de una cohorte de gestantes de nuestro medio y explorar su asociación con la ganancia de peso en cada uno de los trimestres del embarazo. Método: estudio descriptivo longitudinal sobre una muestra de 151 mujeres. Se utilizó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física para evaluar la actividad física durante el embarazo en función del volumen, intensidad y ámbito de realización. Se llevaron a cabo diferentes modelos de regresión lineal múltiple para analizar la asociación entre actividad física y ganancia de peso gestacional. Resultados: la actividad física disminuyó durante el embarazo, tanto en tiempo como en intensidad. El índice de masa corporal pre-gestacional fue el principal factor asociado con una menor ganancia de peso a lo largo de todo el embarazo. La influencia de la actividad física sobre la ganancia de peso gestacional se limitó al tercer trimestre del embarazo en el que se observó una asociación inversa entre ambas variables. Conclusión: los resultados de este estudio muestran un importante descenso de la actividad física en la época del embarazo y sugieren una influencia limitada de ésta sobre la ganancia de peso gestacional.

Objective. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of two Mexican death registries for the identification of vital status using a publicly available record-linkage tool. Materials and methods. We selected all reported deaths (n=581) and 575 alive participants in an epidemiologic cohort with active follow-up. Individual records were cross-linked to two mortal­ity registries. Results. A sensitivity of 87.2% (95%CI: 84.7, 90.2) and specificity of 99.3% (95%CI: 98.2, 99.8) were jointly achieved with both registries. Major discrepancies in cause of death were observed in 10.8% of deaths. Conclusion. There is initial evidence that Mexican death registries are a valuable resource for mortality follow-up in epidemiologic studies.

Objective: To explore the combined use of quantitative and qualitative methods with a longitudinal perspective in the field of obesity diet and physical activity. Method: A systematic scoping review following PRISMA guidelines. The databases searched were Web of Science, PubMed, and ASSIA. Results: 1592 records were returned from the searches. In total, nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Authors of included studies mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain a deeper understanding of their study subjects, but few documents use longitudinal data. Authors value the combination of methods and try to integrate the results in their conclusions. Conclusions: Total integration is rarely achieved in the analysis. The origin of this divergence can be found in the lack of theoretical guidance in these articles, but also in the difficulty of working in multidisciplinary teams in the field of obesity. Resumen: Objetivo: Explorar el uso combinado de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos con una perspectiva longitudinal en el campo de la obesidad y la actividad física. Método: Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de las bases de datos Web of Science, PubMed y ASSIA siguiendo las pautas de PRISMA. Resultados: Solo nueve estudios fueron seleccionados de los 1592 que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Los autores combinan métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos, y afirman hacerlo para obtener una comprensión más profunda de sus sujetos de estudio, pero pocos utilizan datos longitudinales. Se valora la combinación de métodos y se intenta integrar los resultados en las conclusiones. Conclusiones: La integración total de métodos cuantitativos, cualitativos y longitudinales es excepcional y rara vez se logra en el análisis de los resultados. El origen de esta divergencia se puede encontrar en la falta de orientación teórica de estos artículos, pero también en la dificultad de trabajar en equipos multidisciplinarios en el campo de la obesidad.

A pesar del notorio incremento de investigaciones sociológicas cuantitativas que usan el análisis de secuencias para explorar el aumento de diversidad y complejidad de trayectorias de vida, este campo de estudio se ha concentrado principalmente en sociedades occidentales de Europa y Norteamérica. Este artículo ofrece una introducción al análisis de secuencias, atendiendo al escaso conocimiento de esta herramienta estadística longitudinal en las ciencias sociales en Chile. Se examinan estudios sociológicos recientes que usan el análisis de secuencias en Chile para explorar la diversidad y complejidad de patrones de curso de vida en dominios sociales como la educación, el empleo, la familia, la jubilación, la salud, y en dos o más de estos dominios combinados. Este trabajo es un punto de partida para investigadores y estudiantes interesados en expandir sus conocimientos sobre esta técnica.

Introducción: Los pacientes neuroquirúrgicos tienen un alto riesgo de complicaciones locales y sistémicas que pueden aumentar la estancia hospitalaria y el riesgo de muerte. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la incidencia de infecciones asociadas a la atención médica y los factores de riesgo asociados en pacientes sometidos a neurocirugía. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de cohorte prospectivo, realizado en un gran hospital del estado de Rondônia, de 2018 a 2019, con 36 pacientes. Resultados: La incidencia de infecciones asociadas a la asistencia sanitaria fue de 19,4 por 100 pacientes (IC95%: 8,19 – 36,02). Haber utilizado una sonda nasoenteral aumentó el riesgo de IRAS en 6,5 veces (IC 95%: 1,26 – 33,5), la ventilación mecánica aumentó el riesgo en 5,52 veces (IC 95%: 1,23 – 24,6), la presencia de traqueotomía aumentó seis veces (IC95%: 1,34 – 26,8) y realizar un examen invasivo aumentó el riesgo de infección en 6,79 (IC95%: 1,31 – 35,05). En el análisis ajustado, las variables no presentaron significación estadística. Discusión: La incidencia de infecciones fue mayor que en las regiones con mejores condiciones socioeconómicas, lo que puede estar relacionado con una menor adherencia a las buenas prácticas de cuidado. Conclusión: En neurocirugía, además de las infecciones del sitio quirúrgico, también se deben considerar otras topografías para la investigación de la infección. El uso de dispositivos invasivos se asoció con la ocurrencia de infecciones relacionadas con el cuidado de la salud, por lo que las buenas prácticas en su uso son fundamentales a la hora de indicar y utilizar estos dispositivos.

En este artículo, el profesor e investigador estadounidense Kevin Roozen expone un estudio longitudinal de caso en torno a un estudiante universitario con un profundo compromiso religioso y un fuerte interés en el conocimiento científico. En contraposición a la idea de que la escritura disciplinar se aprende dentro de los límites de las prácticas hegemónicas de las disciplinas, Roozen adopta un marco teórico que postula que ese aprendizaje resulta del entramado de un amplio conjunto de textos, prácticas, recursos semióticos y actividades, tanto académicos como cotidianos, que las personas entretejen a lo largo de sus vidas, construyendo un continuo devenir semiótico. Situado en este encuadre, el autor analiza cómo, a través del uso y la reutilización de inscripciones o diagramas de diferente tipo a lo largo del tiempo, el estudiante negocia y renegocia sus identidades hasta hacerlas confluir en un sentido de sí mismo y del mundo, opuesto a visiones dominantes. Los resultados, a los que el investigador arriba después de análisis minuciosos y su revisión y aprobación por parte del estudiante participante en la investigación, sugieren la importancia crucial de la atención a las complejas y extensas historias de literacidad de las personas a fin de construir alternativas pedagógicas que potencien el entramado creativo y continuo de la totalidad de los recursos semióticos disponibles para los estudiantes, en vez de conducirlos por las sendas ya existentes construidas dentro de las disciplinas.

Introduction: Neurosurgical patients are at high risk of local and systemic complications that can increase the length of stay and the risk of death. This study aims to assess the incidence of healthcare-related infections and associated risk factors in patients undergoing neurosurgery. Materials and Methods: prospective cohort study, carried out in a large hospital in the state of Rondônia, in the period from 2018 to 2019, including 36 patients. Results: The incidence of healthcare-related infections was 19.4 per 100 patients (95% CI: 8,19 - 36,02). The use of nasoenteral tube increased the risk of HAI by 6.5 times (95% CI: 1,26 - 33,5), mechanical ventilation increased 5.52 times the risk (95% CI: 1,23 - 24,6), the presence of tracheostomy increased six times (95% CI: 1.34 - 26.8) and invasive examination increased the risk by 6.79 to have infection (95% CI: 1,31 - 35,05). In the adjusted analysis, the variables were not statistically significant. Discussion: The incidence of infections was higher than in regions with better socioeconomic conditions, which may be related to lower adherence to good care practices. Conclusion: in neurosurgeries, in addition to surgical site infections, other topographies should also be considered for investigation of infection. The use of invasive devices has been associated with the occurrence of healthcare-related infections, so good practices in their use are essential when referring and using these devices.

En el marco de la tendencia a prolongar el tiempo dedicado a las actividades educativas como una característica de la juventud en el siglo XXI, este artículo se propone reflexionar sobre la importancia de la temporalidad y el contexto como escenarios que habilitan o restringen las posibilidades de continuidad educativa en el nivel universitario. Para ello se presenta la evidencia empírica de dos estudios longitudinales realizados en los últimos 20 años, donde se reconstruyen los recorridos educativos post egreso y el pasaje del nivel secundario al nivel universitario. El objetivo del artículo es aportar al entendimiento de los recorridos educativos en el nivel universitario que trazaron dos cohortes de personas jóvenes egresadas de la escuela secundaria (1999 y 2011) que viven en el territorio del Área Metropolitana del Gran Buenos Aires y realizan estos recorridos en momentos diferentes en cuanto a contextos sociales, económicos y políticos del país. El seguimiento en el tiempo se realiza con jóvenes de distintos sectores socioeconómicos que, una vez que obtuvieron la certificación educativa del nivel medio, continuaron estudios universitarios.

Introducción. Las limitaciones funcionales asociadas con el proceso de envejecimiento pueden conducir al desarrollo de síntomas depresivos e incrementar la vulnerabilidad de los adultos mayores. Objetivo. Estimar la asociación entre la discapacidad física y la incidencia de síntomas depresivos clínicamente significativos en adultos mayores mexicanos. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio retrospectivo de cohorte con datos provenientes de la Encuesta Nacional sobre Salud y Envejecimiento en México (ENASEM). La muestra analítica (n=6.780) incluyó a adultos mayores de 50 años que contaran con mediciones de las variables principales y que no presentaran síntomas depresivos clínicamente significativos en la ronda cero. Estos síntomas se evaluaron con la escala CESD-9 y, la discapacidad, mediante el reporte de limitaciones para la realización de actividades básicas o instrumentales de la vida diaria. Se hicieron análisis descriptivos, bivariados y multivariados, utilizando el modelo de regresión logística y ajustando según las variables sociodemográficas, las condiciones de salud, las adversidades de la infancia, la participación social y los eventos vitales estresantes. Resultados. La incidencia de síntomas depresivos clínicamente significativos fue de 25,75 % (IC95% 24,70-26,80). Comparados con aquellas personas sin limitaciones para las actividades instrumentales, se encontró un incremento del 68 % en el riesgo para el desarrollo de dichos síntomas (IC95% 1,10-2,57; p=0,015). En el modelo de actividades básicas de la vida diaria, la razón de probabilidad (odds ratio, OR) para su desarrollo fue de 1,36 (1,01-1,81; p=0,039), ambos ajustados por variables de confusión. Conclusión. Las limitaciones en la vida diaria son un factor de riesgo importante para el desarrollo de síntomas depresivos clínicamente significativos en personas con seguimiento de dos años.

Objective: Considering methodological difficulties and inconsistent results of previous studies on it, the objective was to describe the change in nursing student self-esteem over time and its predictors, using a sound theoretical framework and relevant tools to measure and analyse the data., Method: Cohort study. Self-esteem and related factors were assessed in nursing students in a 4-year bachelor's program at the beginning of each academic year from 2017 to 2019 and at the end of the academic year in May 2020, using he revised version of Self-liking/Self-competence scale of Tafarodi and Swann. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed via generalized linear mixed modelling., Results: Self-esteem was moderate at the beginning of the program: 50.40 (9.10). It increased slightly over time: 51.15 (9.11) at T1; 51.64 (0.49) at T2; and 51.39 (10.79) at T3 (P = .002). Baseline variables that predicted self-esteem change were gender, secondary school graduation level, state anxiety, intent to continue, and self-efficacy. Assessing and improving those last variables via a strong career plan could boost student achievement and increase retention during and after training., Conclusion: Nursing student self-esteem can be assessed using a bidimensional model, with a two-factor scale like Tafarodi & Swann's self-liking/self-competence scale. Generalized linear mixed model is a useful way to correlate large sets of longitudinal data., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Introducción: la fragilidad es un indicador del estado de salud en la vejez y un síndrome clínico común en adultos mayores; conlleva un elevado riesgo de resultados deficientes de salud que incluyen caídas, incidentes de discapacidad, hospitalización y mortalidad. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar las diferentes trayectorias de la fragilidad y los factores relacionados con esta entre adultos mayores mexicanos a lo largo del tiempo. Metodología: los datos provienen de un panel de cuatro rondas compuesto por adultos mayores mexicanos y desarrollado de 2001 a 2015 por el Estudio Nacional de Salud y Envejecimiento en México (ENASEM). La fragilidad es la acumulación de déficits a partir de un índice de fragilidad. Se aplicó un análisis multinivel, utilizando modelos jerárquicos para conocer los cambios de trayectorias de fragilidad y qué factores se relacionan con ella. Resultados: ser mujer mayor, viuda y tener un bajo nivel educativo fueron factores de riesgo para un índice de fragilidad alto y una menor satisfacción financiera o realizar actividades en el hogar tienen efectos adversos. Conclusiones: se halló una prevalencia de la fragilidad según la proporción de déficits que poseen los individuos y sus primordiales componentes asociados. Se requiere mejorar las condiciones socioeconómicas de salud en fases previas a la vejez con miras a evitar la presencia de fragilidad en el futuro.

Objective: To analyze the demographic and clinical factors related to falls of older adults living at home in a five-year follow-up Materials and methods: Retrospective quantitative and longitudinal study conducted between 2007/2008 and 2013 with 262 Brazilians participants over 65 years old. We used the demographic profile, Mini-Mental State Examination, self-reported diseases, falls and their characteristics, Edmonton Frail Scale, Lawton and Brody Scale, Functional Independence Measure instruments. We performed descriptive analysis, Chi-squared, Wilcoxon test and mixed model test. Results: Most participants were women, aged between 65 to 79 years, schooling between 1 to 4 years and retired. The prevalence of falls was 21.8% and 37.8% in both evaluations. We verified that the chance of suffering a new fall increases for each additional disease of the older adult. In addition, for each point to more on the frail scale, the older adult has a greater chance of falling. On the other hand, for each medication withdrawn, the chance of falling decreases 10%. Conclusion: The fall was associated with clinical factors in older adults, therefore constant evaluations must be carried out to identify this event and its triggers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Functional limitations associated with the aging process can lead to the development of depressive symptoms and increase the vulnerability of older adults. Objective: To estimate the association between physical disability and the incidence of clinically significant depressive symptoms (CSDS) in older Mexican adults. Materials and methods: Retrospective cohort study with data from The Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). The analytical sample (n=6780) included adults over 50 years old who had measurements of the main variables and who did not report CSDS in the first round. The CSDS were evaluated with the CESD-9 scale and the disability by means of the report of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) or Instrumental Activities of Daily living (IADLs). Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed through logistic regression models, adjusted by sociodemographic variables, health conditions, childhood adversities, social participation, and stressful life events. Results: The incidence of CSDS was 25,75% (95% CI 24,70 - 26,80). Compared to those without IADLs limitations, an increased risk of 68% for the development of CSDS was found (95% CI: 1,10-2,57; p= 0,015). For the ADLS model, the OR for the development of CSDS was 1,36 (1,01 -1,81; p= 0,039), both models adjusted by confounding variables. Conclusion: Presenting limitations in daily life is an important risk factor for the development of CSDS, at two years of follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La educación inclusiva es un proceso que trata de eliminar las barreras que dificultan la presencia, participación y éxito de todo el alumnado. Por consiguiente, una barrera para la inclusión es la ausencia de cierto alumnado, como el alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales (NEE), en escenarios educativos ordinarios. Este artículo tiene el objetivo de explorar el estado actual y analizar la evolución en la última década (2006-2007 a 2016-2017) del tipo de escolarización de este alumnado, desde la perspectiva nacional y autonómica de España. Para ello, se ha recurrido a un estudio documental , concretamente, de revisión estadística de los datos proporcionados por el Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional, a partir de los siguientes indicadores: alumnado con NEE, alumnado con NEE escolarizado en centros específicos de educación especial, alumnado con NEE escolarizado en unidades especiales en centros ordinarios, alumnado con NEE escolarizado en contextos ordinarios y número de unidades de escolarización en modalidad no ordinaria. Los resultados muestran que, si bien en el estado español se ha progresado mucho en la apuesta por la educación inclusiva, el número de alumnado con NEE escolarizado en emplazamientos no ordinarios se ha visto incrementado en los últimos años. Se concluye que es necesario promover políticas de escolarización del alumnado con NEE que garantice su presencia en contextos ordinarios para desarrollar una atención educativa de calidad e inclusiva.

Originally, technical-professional education's (TPE) propose was to insert its graduates into qualified jobs and facilitate their journey through the higher level in careers with strong technical content. However, its near destruction in the 1990s made such intentions questionable. Likewise, it continued to be an educational option for many social sectors, and, as of 2006, its enrollment was revalued and expanded with the enactment of the Professional Technical Education Law and the National Education Law. In this context, the objective of this article is to investigate the educational trajectories of former students of all TPE orientations in Argentina, considering the influence of their social class of origin. For this, it analyzes secondary data from a panel study that for 8 years (2009, 2011, 2013, 2017) surveyed a probabilistic sample of 1,500 former TPE students. The findings highlighted advantages of the upper-middle classes with respect to university graduation and a greater propensity of the popular sectors to choose tertiary careers. At the same time, we find a "greater freedom" of the upper classes regarding the choice of higher careers while the popular classes opt mostly for technical careers. This panorama varies depending on whether it is studies in progress / completed or university / tertiary careers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) are emerging issues in public health, especially in developing countries. Objective: to verify transition and factors related to PA combined with SB among the elderly followed for 24 months. Materials and methods: A longitudinal, observational research, with people aged 60 years or over, living in the urban area of Uberaba, Brazil. Sociodemographic, health and physical tests data were collected in 2014 and 2016, using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Katz Index, Lawton and Brody Scale, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). For the combined evaluation one considered the cutoff point of 150 minutes of PA per week and the percentile 75 (420 minutes/day) for SB, constituting the groups: Unsatisfactory (insufficient sum of PA and SB), Intermediate (with loss of only one of the two components) and Satisfactory (sufficient sum of PA and SB). Statistic descriptive and inferential analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 21.0, considering p<0.05. Results: Of the 374 elderly, 61 (16.3%) improved their PA and SB condition, 226 (60.4%) remained in the same category and 87 (23.3%) got worse. Unsatisfactory levels of PA and SB were related to higher age group (p=0.031), absence of professional activity (p<0.001), dependence for instrumental activities of daily living (p=0.013) and worse physical performance (p<0.001). Conclusion: Results showed relationship between sociodemographic and health factors with PA and SB, reiterating the need for further research on the subject to the health of the aged.

As we mentioned in a previous article (Cohort studies. 1st part. Description, methodology and applications), cohort studies are characterized by being observational, longitudinal and analytical studies; and in all of them an exposure, a follow-up period, eventual loss of follow-up; and an outcome should be considered. A number of modifications and variants to the traditional cohort study design have been proposed. A summary with the main characteristics of population-based cohort studies, bidirectional cohorts, and of other variants according: to the number of cohorts (single and multiple), to the recruitment of the study population (closed and open), to the exposure (fixed and dynamic); nested case-control study, cohortcase, and occupational cohorts (simple with external reference population, simple with internal reference group and multiple cohorts), are described. Finally, examples of the literature of the most frequent cohort variants are developed. The aim of this manuscript was to generate a study document referring to some of the modifications and variants of cohort studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
