    Aquest treball té com a objectiu principal estudiar l'aplicació de la perspectiva interseccional a la cobertura informativa entorn Les Kellys (cambreres de pis), col·lectiu sotmès a una triple discriminació (opressió de gènere, ètnia i classe). Fem una comparativa entre la premsa tradicional i l'alternativa a partir de l'anàlisi, quantitativa i qualitativa, d'una mostra de textos publicats a El País, El Mundo, El Salto i Pikara Magazine.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal estudiar la aplicación de la perspectiva interseccional a la cobertura informativa de Las Kellys (camareras de piso), colectivo sometido a una triple discriminación (opresión de género, etnia y clase). Hacemos una comparativa entre la prensa tradicional y la alternativa a partir del análisis, cuantitativo y cualitativo, de una muestra de textos publicados en El País, El Mundo, El Salto y Pikara Magazine.The main objective of this paper is to study the application of the intersectional perspective to the news coverage of Las Kellys (hotel maids), a collective subjected to triple discrimination (gender, ethnic and class oppression). We make a comparison between the traditional and alternative press from the quantitative and qualitative analysis of a sample of texts published in El País, El Mundo, El Salto and Pikara Magazine

    International longitudinal pediatric reference standards for bone mineral content

    To render a diagnosis pediatricians rely upon reference standards for bone mineral density or bone mineral content, which are based on cross-sectional data from a relatively small sample of children. These standards are unable to adequately represent growth in a diverse pediatric population. Thus, the goal of this study was to develop sex and site-specific standards for BMC using longitudinal data collected from four international sites in Canada and the United States. Data from four studies were combined; Saskatchewan Paediatric Bone Mineral Accrual Study (n = 251), UBC Healthy Bones Study (n = 382); Penn State Young Women's Health Study (n = 112) and Stanford's Bone Mineral Accretion study (n = 423). Males and females (8 to 25 years) were measured for whole body (WB), total proximal femur (PF), femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) BMC (g). Data were analyzed using random effects models. Bland–Altman was used to investigate agreement between predicted and actual data. Age, height, weight and ethnicity independently predicted BMC accrual across sites (P < 0.05). Compared to White males, Asian males had 31.8 (6.8) g less WB BMC accrual; Hispanic 75.4 (28.2) g less BMC accrual; Blacks 82.8 (26.3) g more BMC accrual with confounders of age, height and weight controlled. We report similar findings for the PF and FN. Models for females for all sites were similar with age, height and weight as independent significant predictors of BMC accrual (P < 0.05). We provide a tool to calculate a child's BMC Z-score, accounting for age, size, sex and ethnicity. In conclusion, when interpreting BMC in pediatrics we recommend standards that are sex, age, size and ethnic specific
