En este artículo se ofrece una descripción exhaustiva de las propiedades gramaticales y semánticas de las superlativas de cantidad mínima, esto es, expresiones superlativas, generalmente formadas con el superlativo léxico mínimo, que denotan una cantidad o un grado mínimos. Además de su significado cuantitativo, estas construcciones poseen un valor modal que distingue dos clases: aquellas formadas con un complemento restrictor de modalidad teleológica (las condiciones mínimas necesarias) y aquellas en las que el complemento restrictor es un modal dinámico de posibilidad (los mínimos errores posibles). A partir de las diferencias sintácticas y semánticas entre ambos tipos de superlativas, proponemos un análisis distinto para cada una: mientras que el mínimo teleológico es un modificador restrictivo, el mínimo dinámico es un auténtico cuantificador.

RESUMO O estudo examinou as evidências de validade da estrutura interna da versão brasileira da Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scale (CCNES). Participaram 163 mães de pré-escolares e 149 mães de escolares. As participantes responderam à versão brasileira da CCNES e a um questionário sociodemográfico. Os resultados indicaram adequada fatorabilidade e bons índices de precisão e de replicabilidade e diferenças entre pré-escolares e escolares quanto ao número de fatores. Para os pré-escolares, foram três fatores (reações não apoiadoras; reações centradas na emoção e reações centradas no problema; reações que incentivam) e para os escolares, dois (reações não apoiadoras e reações apoiadoras). Diferenças desenvolvimentais entre os grupos, como maior repertório verbal dos escolares, e aspectos contextuais podem explicar a estrutura fatorial da escala e devem ser analisados em estudos de adaptação cultural de instrumentos.

The assessment of methodological quality (MQ) in biomedical research is an area that has undergone dynamic development in the last 20 years on a global scale. MQ can be defined as a multidimensional and complex construct composed of items and domains. Different research groups have proposed tools for its assessment, among which our team is included with the development of the MInCir scales. Over the years, we have developed and validated scales to assess MQ in treatment or therapeutic procedure studies (MInCir-T), in diagnostic studies (MInCir-Dg), and prognosis studies (MInCir-Pr in its two versions, MInCir-Pr1 and MInCir-Pr2). However, as is the case with any measurement instrument, it is crucial to specify in a detailed and precise manner how it is applied, aiming to standardize measurements and minimize information biases. A detailed description is provided for the 4 domains and 8 items comprising the MInCir-Pr2 scale, specifying for each of them the characteristics to be assessed and scored in primary prognosis articles. The scale total score ranges from 7 to 60 points, with a cutoff point of 33 points (dichotomous) to define the MQ construct. This cutoff point allows classification into either adequate or high MQ (when the evaluated article receives a score of 33 points or higher), and inadequate or low MQ if the score is 32 points or less. The aim of this article was to elucidate and clarify the application of the MInCir-Pr2 scale for MQ in prognosis studies, through a guide intended to standardize MQ measurements using the MInCir-Pr2 scale, with the goal of enhance both intra- and interobserver reliability.

El Jardín de las Delicias (1490-1500) es un tríptico formado por tres paneles frontales sobre el paraíso y el infierno que precisan del espectador para ser abatidos, cerrados y obtener una nueva visión: la Creación del mundo. En esta obra, El Bosco representa pequeños coágulos de aire que hablan de arquitecturas encapsuladas y lugares introspectivos, donde las leyes parecen haber desaparecido. Este ensayo pone de manifiesto la existencia de estos diminutos espacios insertos en el ámbito arquitectónico; trípticos que, en lugar de ser pintados, han adquirido una tercera dimensión para formar parte de obras como Casa Ugalde de Coderch (1953), Casa-museo Soane (1820) y Casa Vicens de Gaudí (1885). Una inmersión arquitectónica en tres proyectos de habitar que nos permite la creación de catálogos con micrografías de “lágrimas de arquitectura”: burbujas atrapadas en la masa vitral que nos muestran cartografías de un espacio intangible y desconocido. Micrografías del espacio intangible nos sugiere cambiar la escala y sumergir al habitante en un micromundo en busca de nuevas expresiones que permitan concebir una arquitectura más gráfica y creativa.

This paper has two objectives: to analyse the mode of quantification of the prefixes, and to explain why only indefinite prefixes and universal ones can be degree modifiers. These prefixes can quantify the number of entities the base expresses (multitarea 'multi-task'), the argument of the base (multiadicción 'multi-addiction'), or the number of times a reality or condition takes place (bicampeón 'bi-champion'). Furthermore, indefinite prefixes and universal ones constitute scales, understood as gradable series with opposite poles, which makes them to function as degree modifiers (pluripoblado 'pluri-populated, very populated', omniconocido 'omni-known, well-known'). On the contrary, numeral prefixes establish ranks or non-gradable and unbounded series, a fact that disqualifies them as degree modifiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Una de las decisiones más importantes en el diseño de un cuestionario es la elección de la/s escala/s de medición. Una escala habitual en preguntas sobre valoraciones u opiniones es la escala tipo Likert, que oscila entre el 0 o el 1 (peor valoración/desacuerdo) y el 10 (máxima valoración/acuerdo). Es frecuente que los investigadores decidan recodificar esta escala. En este contexto, se presenta un protocolo que facilita esta tarea de simplificación. La secuenciación metodológica integrada por el análisis factorial y el análisis de clasificación presenta varias ventajas. Además de permitir el tratamiento de la escala original desde dos ópticas, proporciona una recodificación óptima con la mínima pérdida de información. La aplicación a una pregunta extraída del estudio n.º 3325 del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, relativa a las implicaciones de las relaciones por Internet respecto a las presenciales en tiempos de pandemia, pone de manifiesto la utilidad y versatilidad de la propuesta.

Las nociones de medida, tamaño, proporción y escala afloran de manera habitual en la literatura básica sobre la Arquitectura, no obstante estas referencias tienden a ser triviales o meramente operativas. El artículo revisa esos conceptos, considerándolos decisivos para el estímulo de experiencias estéticas. Asimismo, serán estas mismas nociones las que sirvan de marco conceptual inicial para la evaluación de la capacidad de la forma para producir respuestas anímico-conductuales inherentes a la experiencia estética, teniendo además un protagónico rol en las conceptualizaciones correctas de diversas estrategias proyectuales, para lo cual se presenta una matriz gráfica con 10 entidades configurativas arquetípicas básicas, discriminando entre tamaños mínimos y máximos, y entre lógicas de proporción específica a cada tipo de figura introduciendo la noción de escala prefigurante.

Objetivo: avaliar a dependência do cuidado de enfermagem e risco de queda em adolescentes internados. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal, descritivo, quantitativo, realizado numa enfermaria especializada na saúde do adolescente, de um hospital universitário no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A amostra foi composta por 47 adolescentes hospitalizados, a partir de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A coleta foi realizada de junho a setembro de 2023, por meio de avaliação direta dos pacientes, prontuários e impressos. Foram analisadas as variáveis: sociodemográficas, clínicas, risco de quedas pela Escala de Morse e grau de dependência para o cuidado de enfermagem pela Escala de Fugulin. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva simples. Pesquisa aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa. Resultados: a amostra correspondeu a 47 adolescentes, com predomínio do sexo feminino (57,4%), com idades entre 12 e 17 anos, predominando a internação por tratamento do diagnóstico principal (57,4%); (68,1%) não apresentavam comorbidades associadas. Na avaliação inicial pela Escala de Fugulin houve predomínio dos cuidados mínimos em (78,7%) e baixo risco de queda em (76,6%). Contudo, ao longo do tempo de internação houve variação do grau de dependência de cuidados e do risco de queda dos adolescentes. Dentre os motivos de saída (95,8%) foram por alta, e o tempo médio de permanência dos adolescentes foi de 5,93 dias. Conclusão: A utilização das escalas pela enfermagem traz evidências que podem auxiliar na tomada de decisão do enfermeiro e sua equipe, a fim de tornar o cuidado de enfermagem mais humano e seguro.

Este trabajo centra su mirada en la denominada cuenca del Salado. Sobre este espacio, academia; instituciones públicas de tecnología, producción e infraestructura; productores; habitantes; y organizaciones ambientalistas, construyen ideas y producen mapas. Nos proponemos dar a conocer diferentes formas de definir la cuenca del Salado como territorio, y entender cómo proceden y qué implican estas territorializaciones diferenciadas. Para ello, realizamos una exploración, selección y sistematización de cartografía producida en torno a la cuenca. Los mapas permiten identificar límites espaciales y denominaciones diferentes de un mismo espacio, diferencias vinculadas a las miradas puestas en juego en cada construcción. Sin embargo, la predominancia del enfoque productivo, y con ello la dimensión agropecuaria del territorio, atraviesa de una u otra forma, todas las miradas.

Industrial systems are not isolated socioeconomic units, but while they retain a certain unity and delimitation, they are articulated by social relations that are defined on different spatial scales. However, the observation of the territorial structure of industrial systems is not simple or direct, since these scalar social relations overlap and combine. Different methods have been developed for the study of industrial systems, emphasizing their multiscalarity; however, the theoretical and methodological issue persists. This paper will seek to contribute to this question by analyzing the notion of territorial structure both from a theoretical-methodological point of view, as well as through the analysis of the matrix of origin and destination of inputs and products, estimated for those of the industrial systems of the Province of Santa Fe, Argentina. The article proposes a comprehensive point of view aimed at capturing the ways in which social relations, which operate on different scales, articulate the work of localized productive systems. An operationalization based on the observation of product and supply movements is proposed, in different spatial horizons, showing potential features of qualitatively different territorial structures.

Con relación al llamado de Flores y Rosa a considerar simultáneamente cómo la raza y el lenguaje se han convertido en separables y, al mismo tiempo, se han conaturalizado en jerarquías lingüísticas y raciales conjuntas, la atención al rol de la lengua en estos procesos no está tanto en rastrear relaciones o hacer que unas representen a las otras, sino en dar sentido a las formas en que la raza y las lenguas ubican sujetos, derechos y posibilidades. Trabajos como Everyday Language of White Racism de Jane Hill ([6]) y otros (Chun, [3], Pardo, [11]) muestran cómo diferentes teorías sobre los orígenes del racismo arrojan luz sobre los mecanismos y la escala en la que se supone opera el racismo, ya sea individual, interpersonal o estructural.

The objective of this research was to carry out a psychometric analysis using the version of the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale adapted for university students (Aranguren and Irrazabal, 2015) to find a better fit model. A sample of 1044 university students from Formosa (Argentina) was considered, being 24.9% men (n=260) and 75.1% women (n=784). This sample was randomly divided into two parts, the first one was used as a calibration sample and an Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed, obtaining a new model (Model 2) and the second was used as a validation sample and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed. This last analysis confirmed the presence of three factors: (a) Autonomy, (b) Positive Relationships with Other People and (c) Competence and showed a better fit of Model 2 to the study population.

El Comité Editorial quiere brindar a sus lectores una actualización de las escalas de uso corriente. El empleo de tablas y escalas es una práctica muy extendida en la Ortopedia y Traumatología. La medición y la cuantificación de los aspectos clínicos, funcionales y radiográficos se convirtieron en una herramienta imprescindible para la toma de decisiones en diferentes aspectos de la actividad asistencial. Llevamos a cabo una revisión de las escalas más utilizadas, definiendo su uso e incluyendo bibliografía original y actualizada.

En el presente artículo se quiere tratar la importancia que tiene la elaboración del ZEE (Zonificación Ecológica Económica) dentro de un territorio, en este caso la posibilidad de aplicación para la Provincia del Cusco – Perú, donde tratamos de resaltar desde un punto de vista teórico y fundamentado por investigadores, la importancia que tienen los trabajos a escala local, es decir la priorización de trabajos a nivel de microzonificación que permiten mayor detalle de aspectos sociales, económicos y ambientales de una comunidad y que conlleve a la ejecución de proyectos específicos de relevancia local. Se detallan conceptos como ordenamiento territorial, desarrollo sostenible, las escalas y sus enfoques, el propio ZEE y su normativa, sus resultados e impacto en el país; la situación actual del mismo para la Provincia del Cusco y las razones de su poca aplicación como instrumento de planificación.

Los sistemas industriales no son unidades socioeconómicas aisladas, sino que mientras conservan cierta unidad y delimitación, son articulados por relaciones sociales que se definen en escalas espaciales diferentes. Sin embargo, la observación de la estructura territorial de los sistemas industriales no es simple ni directa, ya que estas relaciones sociales escalares se superponen y combinan. Se han desarrollado diferentes métodos para el estudio de los sistemas industriales poniendo énfasis en la multiescalaridad de los mismos, sin embargo, el problema sigue abierto teórico y metodológico. En este trabajo se buscará contribuir a esta cuestión analizando la noción de estructura territorial tanto desde un punto de vista teórico-metodológico, como así también mediante el análisis de la matriz de origen y destino de insumos y producto estimada para los sistemas industriales de la Provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina. El trabajo propone un punto de vista comprensivo orientado a captar los modos en que relaciones sociales, que operan en escalas diferentes, dan articulación al funcionamiento de sistemas productivos localizados. Se propone una operacionalización basada en la observación de los movimientos de productos e insumos en diferentes horizontes espaciales, mostrando rasgos potenciales de estructuras territoriales cualitativamente diferentes.

Pain is a very prevalent symptom in hospitalized patients; however, it is frequently underestimated, particularly in children and adolescents. When pain control is achieved, patients reduce their morbidity, facilitate recovery, and improve their quality of life. In the pediatric age, the evaluation and management of pain is a challenge for health professionals, because these patients are in a stage of development and there is difficulty in measuring pain. In the hospital setting, the evaluation, registration, treatment and monitoring of patients with pain are of great relevance. With the aim of improving the diagnosis and treatment of pain in pediatric patients, this review addresses information on the classification, physiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of pain.

Territories are made up of contrasts that become more apparent the more we study them. The same goes for territories of the past. In this research, we seek to present two apparently opposing perspectives that simultaneously made up Portuguese America: "extreme slowness" and an Atlantic network of people and ideas. Both topics are approached from the writings of the French botanist Auguste de Saint-Hilaire, either from his own experiences at the beginning of the 19th century, or from secondary accounts contained in his work. The analysis of these territorial contrasts is supported by the geographical perspective, which emphasizes the scalar nature of phenomena, constantly overlapping and reconsidering them in the light of history and its irregularities, with the use of correspondence from the Portuguese administration at the time. In our view, geography has largely contributed to studies on the territories of the past, beyond cartography and other visual products. Geographical reasoning spatializes phenomena, locating them in a specific structure, conferring upon them not only certain attributions but, above all, correlating them with other phenomena located on different scales. Based on the necessary dialectic of this inter-scalar movement, we propose an apparently contradictory conceptualization of a territory that could be both "extremely slow" and connected to an ocean of people and ideas, having the backlands ("sertão") a key-participation in this dynamic.

Anemia affects thousands of children, and to reach a diagnosis, hemoglobin (Hb) is quantified. This technique however, is not always accessible to the general population. Therefore, the availability of a validated instrument can be useful in the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to validate a mobile application (APP), to diagnose anemia in children from 2 to 5 years old, applicable by parents or guardians. Scale validation study. Through a bibliographic search, items and domains related to anemia in children were collected. Once reduced, a pilot questionnaire was constructed with three pediatric hematologists. The result was later validated by 22 experts through the application of the Likert-type scales. The validated items were contrasted with the Hb of children of 267 children from 2 to 5 years of age from the Ecuadorian Andes (2,560 meters above sea level). The association of the items with Hb and with the results obtained was determined, and the APP was constructed. 14 items were analyzed. All of them scored above the median of the distribution (35.5 points) and were valued by at least 50 % of the experts. Palmar pallor, asthenia, and sleep at unusual hours were selected. All showed a significant association with anemia (p<0.05) and were applied as questions to parents or guardians and contrasted with the Hb value. Sensitivity and specificity for pallor was: 85.1 % and 85.0 %; asthenia: 72.3 % and 87.7 %; sleep at unusual hours: 68.1 % and 87.7 %; paleness plus fatigue or sleepiness: 95.7 % and 74.6 %; and weakness plus sleep: 92.5 % and 76.8 %. An APP for the diagnosis of anemia in children from 2 to 5 years old applicable by parents or guardians was developed and validated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Structural violence occurs by means of social stratification, injustice, political or economic inequity, race, gender, or other conditions. It creates different opportunities and decreases the possibility of covering basic needs. To validate the Structural Violence Beliefs Scale for Youth (SVBS-Y). The scale was developed following a sequential design, starting with content validation by judges, followed by Exploratory and Confirmatory Factorial Analyses (CFA). Finally, we sought to obtain criterion validity evidence with the "Attitudes Toward the Poor Scale". The sample consisted of 852 students (445 females and 407 male), with an average age of 16.44 (SD = 1.92) years. The CFA confirmed three dimensions: (a) Inequity and prejudice towards people with fewer resources, (b) Interest in equal opportunities, and (c) Ruling class privilege. A rho=.64 indicated an adequate criterion (concurrent) validity. This study provides evidence that the SVBSY is a reliable and valid instrument in Mexican youth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Since infants are not able to express their feelings during the preverbal stage of development, neonatal pain rating scales are good tools for nurses to use in clinical practice. Objective: To describe valid and reliable scales used in nursing practice to assess neonatal pain. Materials and Methods: An integrative review of articles published since 1990 was conducted from 2019 to 2020. The databases consulted were PubMed, Lilacs, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Embase, VHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar metasearch engine. Twenty-two articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Results: Unidimensional and multidimensional instruments were found for assessing acute and prolonged pain in preterm and term neonates. Discussion: This integrative review provides healthcare professionals, especially nurses, with a conceptual basis for implementing clinical pain assessment tools according to gestational age, duration of pain, and type of indicator. Conclusions: According to the knowledge and characteristics of the scales, it is not possible to clearly establish the most appropriate one for general use or a gold standard; the selection will depend on different criteria, such as the type of stimulus, gestational age, and the newborn's context.

Foram identificados 17 instrumentos de avaliação de SNPB, sendo o mais utilizado a Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale; e dois artigos descreveram intervenções. Considerações Finais: Recomenda-se pesquisas com intervenções e a análise da efetividade das atuais medidas de SNPB em crianças, considerando a possibilidade de desenvolver instrumentos customizados para essa população. Com esta revisão, espera-se ter contribuído com dados que permitam compreender as bases dos estudos sobre a SNPB em crianças.

Introduction: Headache is the most common neurological complaint at the different levels of the healthcare system, and clinical history and physical examination are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. With the objective of unifying the care given to patients with headache, the Spanish Society of Neurology’s Headache Study Group (GECSEN) has decided to establish a series of consensus recommendations to improve and guarantee adequate care in primary care, emergency services, and neurology departments. Methods: With the aim of creating a practical document, the recommendations follow the dynamics of a medical consultation: clinical history, physical examination, and scales quantifying headache impact and disability. In addition, we provide recommendations for follow-up and managing patients’ expectations of the treatment. Conclusions: With this tool, we aim to improve the care given to patients with headache in order to guarantee adequate, homogeneous care across Spain. Resumen: Introducción: La cefalea es el motivo de consulta neurológico más prevalente en los distintos niveles asistenciales, donde la anamnesis y exploración son primordiales para realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuados. Con la intención de unificar la atención de esta patología, el Grupo de Estudio de Cefalea de la Sociedad Española de Neurología (GECSEN) ha decidido elaborar unas recomendaciones consensuadas para mejorar y garantizar una adecuada asistencia en Atención Primaria, Urgencias y Neurología. Metodología: El documento es práctico, sigue el orden de la dinámica de actuación durante una consulta: anamnesis, escalas que cuantifican el impacto y la discapacidad y exploración. Además, finaliza con pautas para realizar un seguimiento adecuado y un manejo de las expectativas del paciente con el tratamiento pautado. Conclusiones: Esperamos ofrecer una herramienta que mejore la atención al paciente con cefalea para garantizar una asistencia adecuada y homogénea a nivel nacional.

Objetivo: identificar as escalas preditoras de risco para desenvolvimento de LPP utilizadas na assistência de enfermagem, avaliando sua aplicabilidade e comparando as vantagens e limitações da sua utilização. Método: revisão integrativa da literatura através de buscas nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE e BDENF utilizando os descritores Lesão por Pressão”, “Assistência de enfermagem”, “Escalas” e “Feridas”. Foram incluídos no estudo ensaio clinico controlado, revisão bibliográfica, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol no recorte temporal de 2017 até 2022 e excluídos estudos incompletos, que não fazem referências ao objetivo do estudo. Resultados: foram encontrados 5.610 artigos, dos quais 97 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão sendo selecionados 15 para análise detalhada, evidenciando a existência de 09 escalas preditoras de avaliação de risco. A escala de Braden é umas das mais utilizadas na assistência de enfermagem e possui resultados satisfatórios de eficácia, apesar de possuir parâmetros genéricos de avaliação. Já as escalas de Waterlow, Cubbin & Jackson e Sunderland mostraram-se mais acuradas, com alta sensibilidade para mensurar risco de LPP em paciente adulto em cuidados intensivos. Conclusões: As escalas de avaliação de risco para LPP auxiliam o profissional enfermeiro a identificar fatores suscetíveis a seu aparecimento, contribuindo para melhor assistência prestada ao paciente.

Highlights: Para el profesional de enfermería es relevante conocer y relacionarse con las escalas como indicadores clínicos válidos y confiables para su aplicación. Las escalas para valoración del dolor neonatal se convierten en una herramienta indispensable para la toma de decisiones en la práctica del cuidado neonatal. Las escalas para para valoración del dolor son herramientas que se pueden aplicar de acuerdo a la edad gestacional, la duración del dolor y el tipo de indicador. Se hace necesario la adopción de escalas y su implementación de la práctica clínica diaria. Introducción: Debido a que los niños en la etapa de desarrollo preverbal no pueden expresar sus sentimientos, las escalas para valorar el dolor en neonatos son una buena herramienta para uso en la práctica clínica por el profesional de enfermería. Objetivo: Describir las escalas válidas y confiables que se utilizan en la práctica de enfermería para evaluar el dolor en neonatos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa de literatura durante los años 2019 a 2020 de artículos publicados desde el año 1990. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron: PubMed, Lilacs, Proquest, Science Direct, Embase, BVS, Scopus y el metabuscador Google académico. Se analizaron 22 artículos que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión para su respectivo análisis. Resultados: Se encontraron instrumentos unidimensionales y multidimensionales para la evaluación del dolor agudo y prolongado en recién nacidos prematuros y a término. Discusión: Esta revisión integrativa proporciona a los profesionales de salud, y en especial al profesional de enfermería bases conceptuales para la implementación de herramientas de evaluación clínica del dolor, según la edad gestacional, la duración del dolor y el tipo de indicador. Conclusiones: De acuerdo al conocimiento y características de las escalas, no se puede establecer claramente la más adecuada para uso general o patrón de oro, la selección dependerá de diferentes criterios, como tipo de estímulo, la edad gestacional, y del contexto en el que se encuentra el recién nacido.

Objective. To analyze the most frequently used self-report instruments to measure psychological wellbeing and reviewing their validity. Method. An analysis of the scientific literature included original articles on the psychometric analysis of self-report scales measuring psychological wellbeing and described the instrument and its validity. Databases searched included CONRICYT, Dialnet, Redalyc, SciELO and Scopus. A total of 1069 articles initially resulted, leaving seven final publications for analysis. Results. The results indicate that the studies examined the instruments' psychometric properties, and most of them reported acceptable reliability and validity, according to the established quality criteria. Discussion. All the instruments showed benefits and the seven scales are the most representative of the authors on psychological wellbeing. It cannot be established which is the best, since each scale was assessed on different populations, and their results depend on the correct adaptations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in students. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study with a quantitative approach, carried out in a University Center by applying an online electronic form to 170 university students, using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, an instrument that assesses depressive disorder, and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 scale, which assesses and monitors anxiety. Results: It was verified that 42.9% of the students had moderate anxiety and 37.0% of the participants had moderate depressive disorder. Medical students aged between 25 and 29 years old with no previous psychological disorder were the most susceptible to presenting greater signs of depression and anxiety during the pandemic, and the students reported that they would have liked to have received psychological support from the university during this period. Conclusions: Educational institutions need to provide multilateral support, including early mental health interventions, especially during pandemic times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El Comité Editorial quiere brindar a sus lectores una actualización de las escalas de uso corriente. El empleo de tablas y escalas es una práctica muy extendida en la Ortopedia y Traumatología. La medición y la cuantificación de los aspectos clínicos, funcionales y radiográficos se convirtieron en una herramienta imprescindible para la toma de decisiones en diferentes aspectos de la actividad asistencial. Llevamos a cabo una revisión de las escalas más utilizadas, definiendo su uso e incluyendo bibliografía original y actualizada.

O principal objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre as possibilidades de um trabalho educacional em torno do tema das escalas de distâncias astronômicas, de modo a contribuir com a melhoria do ensino de Física. Foram analisadas três escalas astronômicas e as respectivas ordens de grandeza das medidas envolvidas: distâncias interplanetárias, distâncias interestelares e distâncias intergalácticas. Para isso, foram descritas algumas das principais unidades para medir comprimentos em escalas astronômicas e investigados os métodos básicos de determinação de distâncias em Astronomia. Foram descritas e investigadas algumas possibilidades de estratégias didáticas, tendo como eixo temático o estudo de escalas de distâncias astronômicas. Foram também apontadas e sucintamente caracterizadas algumas ferramentas disponíveis na internet úteis para atingir este propósito. Essa é, portanto, uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa sobre recursos didáticos com o intuito de analisar as possibilidades de seu uso educacional

The Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea) is a declining Nearctic-Neotropical migratory songbird of conservation concern. Implementing full annual cycle conservation strategies to facilitate recovery has been difficult because we know little about the migratory period or strength of migratory connectivity between North American breeding and South American nonbreeding regions. Between 2014 and 2017, we deployed geolocators on 282 males at 14 study sites throughout the species' range to (1) evaluate the strength and pattern of connectivity between breeding and nonbreeding regions, (2) identify approximate routes and stopover regions, and (3) document migration phenology. We obtained data from 26 birds and observed moderate migratory connectivity overall but documented strong parallel migration for birds breeding in two longitudinally disparate regions. Most (14 of 15; 93%) Appalachian breeders spent the stationary nonbreeding period in the Colombian/Venezuelan Andes, whereas most (5 of 7; 71%) Ozark-breeders spent the stationary nonbreeding period in Peru/Ecuador. The majority of spring migration (62%) was spent in Central America at multiple stopover locations between Panama and southern Mexico. The 2 migratory periods were approximately equal in duration: 38 ± 2 days (SE) in fall and 42 ± 2 days (SE) in spring. Based on the observed connectivity pattern, conservation of Appalachian-breeding populations during the stationary nonbreeding period should focus on forest conservation and restoration in pre-montane/lower montane forests of Colombia and Venezuela, whereas Ozark-breeding population conservation should focus on forest conservation and restoration efforts in Ecuador and Peru. Further conservation efforts are also needed on the breeding grounds, especially for the most sharply declining populations. And finally, conservation of forests used by Cerulean Warblers during stopover periods throughout Central America and southern Mexico, in southeastern United States coastal areas, and in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley will benefit individuals from multiple breeding locations and populations.

Background and Objective: The Simplified Psoriasis Index (SPI) is a recently validated tool in Spanish that measures psoriasis severity by integrating 3 different spheres: clinical severity (SPI-s), psychosocial impact (SPI-p), and natural history (SPI-i). Our objective was to study the validity and equivalence of this new scale compared to routinely used scales such as the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, PASI, and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)., Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and observational study that included 45 patients aged 18-74 years. Demographic data and information associated with psoriasis severity and the patients' quality of life were collected, using PASI, DLQI, and SPI simultaneously. The correlation of reference scales (PASI and DLQI) with SPI was examined. The degree of agreement between the 2 versions of SPI completed by the physician (proSPI-s) and self-administered by the patient (saSPI-s) was also studied., Results: The mean age of the study population was 51 years, with a mean psoriasis history of 14.05 years. A strong correlation was found between PASI and proSPI-s (r=0.89), as well as between DLQI and SPI-p (r=0.89), with a moderate correlation being reported between PASI and saSPI-s (r=0.52). The degree of agreement between proSPI-s and saSPI-s was moderate., Conclusions: These findings represent the initial results of real clinical practice using the validated Spanish version of SPI, making its use truly promising in the routine clinical practice., (Copyright © 2024 AEDV.
