Sociabilidades e Identidades en el Deporte Barrial – Estudio de Caso Barrio Chimbacalle.

This handicraft article is centered in Chimbacalle district, one of the most traditional of the city of Quito because of many sports practices that characterize it. This product is important because makes it easy to see interactions from the study of the axioms of communication of Palo Alto, occurring in the neighborhood sport visibility which identities are formed from the interaction and how it generates sense through sociability. To perform the communicative product (Digital magazine: identity and sociability in the neighborhood´ sport - case study: "Chimbacalle Neighborhood") on sociability and identities of neighborhood sport. Descriptive research was used to analyze, to explore and to determine contexts and variables in a specific situation for a clear understanding of the reality. In addition, to use the hermeneutic makes it possible the study of the meanings of human actions and social life. Throw the journalistic genders and the researching of the right information, it could be found that the sport in a neighborhood not only is institutionalized, but in its every practice, degrees of interaction generate a sense of belonging in its habitants. It also recognized that there are many elements that can change the behavior of people who practice sports, being migration one of the determinants for changes in areas where the sport is practiced.El presente trabajo se centró en el barrio Chimbacalle, uno de los más tradicionales de la ciudad de Quito por las diversas prácticas deportivas que lo caracterizan. Este producto es importante porque visibiliza las interacciones que desde el estudio de los axiomas de la comunicación de Palo Alto, se dan en el deporte barrial visibilizando que identidades se forman a partir de la interacción y como se genera sentido a través de la sociabilidad. Para realizar el producto comunicativo (Revista Digital: Identidades y Sociabilidades en el deporte barrial – Estudio de Caso “Barrio Chimbacalle”) sobre las sociabilidades e identidades del deporte barrial; se empleó la investigación descriptiva para analizar, explorar y determinar contextos y variables en una situación específica para una clara comprensión de la realidad. Además de utilizar la hermenéutica que hace factible el estudio de los significados de las acciones humanas y de la vida social. Por medio de los géneros periodísticos y levantamiento de información se pudo encontrar que el deporte barrial no solo es institucionalizado sino que en todas sus prácticas se pueden encontrar grados de interacción que generan sentido de pertenencia en sus habitantes. También se visibilizó que hay varios elementos que pueden modificar la conducta de las personas que practican deporte, siendo la migración uno de los factores determinantes para los cambios en los espacios donde se practica deporte

Factors associated with depression and anxiety in adults =60 years old during the CPVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review

COVID-19 represents a threat to public health and the mental health of the aged population. Prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety have been reported in previous reviews in other populations; however, a systematic review on the factors associated with depression and anxiety in older adults is not currently present in the literature. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest Psychology Database, Science Direct, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases (23 February 2021). The results were obtained by entering a combination of MeSH or Emtree terms with keywords related to COVID-19, elderly, depression and anxiety in the databases. A total of 11 studies were included in the systematic review. Female gender, loneliness, poor sleep quality and poor motor function were identified as factors associated with both depression and anxiety. Aspects related to having a stable and high monthly income represent protective factors for both depression and anxiety, and exercising was described as protective for depression. This study synthesised information and analysed the main factors associated with depression and anxiety in the older population during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the cross-sectional design of most of the included studies does not allow a causal relationship between the factors analysed and depression or anxiety

+Digital citizenship: youth activism on e-petitions platforms

Este trabajo aborda el tema de la participación solidaria de la juventud a través de la firma de e-peticiones en plataformas online. A partir de un cuestionario de elaboración propia a 463 estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos, se ha tratado de ver si la firma de e-peticiones es una práctica generalizada o no entre las/os jóvenes, cuáles son las motivaciones a la hora de firmar y si se trata de un comportamiento de clickactivismo o hay una implicación más comprometida. Los resultados muestran que la firma de e-peticiones es una forma de participación social bastante extendida, sin diferencias en cuanto a género, aunque las/os jóvenes no se identifican plenamente con ella. Se muestran idealistas y altruistas a la hora de firmar, aunque desconfían de que tenga mucha repercusión social y sirva para cambiar la realidad. La proximidad psicológica y emocional de las causas que firman es lo que les motiva a apoyar unas causas u otras. El perfil de estos/as jóvenes que firman e-peticiones se caracteriza por una autopercepción de personas más comprometidas socialmente que los que no suelen firmar, con un posicionamiento ideológico algo más a la izquierda y por canalizar su activismo social principalmente a través de la Red.This work addresses the issue of youth solidarity participation through the signing of e-petitions on online platforms. From a questionnaire of own elaboration to 463 university students of both sexes, it has been tried to prove if the signing of e-petitions is a generalized practice or not among young people, what are the motivations when they sign the e-petitions and if it is a clickactivism behavior or there is a more committed involvement. The results show that e-petition signing is a widespread form of social participation, with no gender differences, although young people do not fully identify with it. They are idealistic and altruistic when they sign, although they doubt that it has a lot of social repercussion and serves to change the world. The psychological and emotional proximity of the causes they sign is what motivates them to support some causes or others. The profile of these young people who sign e-petitions is characterized by a self-perception of more socially committed than those who do not usually sign, with a more left-wing ideological tendency and for exhibiting their social activism mainly through the Internet.Unidad Deptal. de Sociología: Metodología y TeoríaFac. de Ciencias de la InformaciónTRUEpu

No se ha publicado e investigado lo suficiente sobre este fenómeno que supone una nueva perspectiva de entender estos procesos sociales. Este estudio muestra opiniones de los jóvenes sobre la participación online y aporta las posibles ventajas e inconvenientes de esta vía de participación, así como se señalan las principales causas apoyadas y las plataformas más conocidas y utilizadas. Se analiza hasta qué punto el activismo online de los jóvenes es un activismo proactivo o no. Se trata de un trabajo exploratorio que apunta nuevas vías de investigación sobre una tendencia comunicativa y participativa que en el actual contexto de comunicación global se verá potenciada y justificada en años venideros. Se utilizan datos primarios en metodología mixta. Se recogen datos mediante una encuesta original (N=463) y se emplean grupos de discusión, buscando una triangulación metodológica en jóvenes entre 18 y 22 años. Los resultados muestran cómo el activismo online está arraigado entre los jóvenes estudiados y que lo ven como una forma complementaria a las vías tradicionales, y no como una alternativa. Además, destacan sobre todo el seguimiento decausas sociopolíticas y medioambientales como los grandes ejes en este tipo de e-participación frente a causas de carácter más tradicional.New public communication processes among young people have facilitated a new way of understanding collective citizen participation: the so-called e-participation. Not much has been published and researched on this phenomenon, which represents a new perspective for understanding these social processes. This study aims to present the general opinion of this phenomenon among young Spaniards and to provide the possible advantages and disadvantages of this new form of participation, as well as to point out the main causes supported and the most widely known and used platforms. Finally, the aim is to analyse to what extent young people's online activism is a proactive activism or not. It is an exploratory study that opens up new avenues of research into a communicative and participatory trend that, in the current context of global communication, will be strengthened and justified in the years to come. Primary data are used in a mixed methodology, using an original survey (N=463) and qualitative methodology based on discussion groups, seeking a methodological triangulation in youth people (18 to 22 years). The results show how this phenomenon is deeply rooted among young Spaniards, who see it as a complementary form of traditional methods, and not as a substitute. Moreover, they highlight above all the monitoring of socio-political and environmental causes as the main axes in this type of e-participation as opposed to more traditiona

Wind and turbulence relationship with NO2 in an urban environment: a fine-scale observational analysis

It is well known that meteorology plays an important role in the diurnal evolution of pollutants, especially those variables related to atmospheric dispersion. Most studies typically relate the concentration of some pollutants with wind speed from conventional anemometers; however, the use of turbulence variables is less common, in part because the needed instruments are not so typical in standard air-quality stations. In this work, we compare the wind-NO2 relationship with the turbulence-NO2 one using observational data from two field campaigns developed in Madrid (winter and summer). The turbulence data comes from two sonic anemometers deployed at different locations: one close to the street and the other at the top of a nearby tall building. The results indicate that the turbulent variables correlate better with the pollutant concentration than the wind speed when using data from the street sonic, while the contrary is found when using the terrace sonic. These data are also used to perform a fine-scale analysis of the turbulent diffusion-NO2 behaviour during a very-stable period in winter, when the turbulence typically shows a decrease in the evening transition, causing the highestNO2 concentrations. Conversely, under these conditions, the formation of thermally-driven winds is also favoured later in the night, which favours the pollutant dispersion and cleaning of the air. The important role of these dynamical processes on the NO2 evolution highlights the importance of the correct understanding of small-scale atmospheric processes to understand their relationship with the concentration of pollutants

Correlation between clinical parameters characterising peri-implant and periodontal health : a practice-based research in Spain in a series of patients with implants installed 4-5 years ago

Objectives: To explore peri-implant health (and relation with periodontal status) 4-5 years after implant insertion. Study D esign: A practice-based dental research network multicentre study was performed in 11 Spanish centres. The first patient/month with implant insertion in 2004 was considered. Per patient four teeth (one per quadrant) showing the highest bone loss in the 2004 panoramic X-ray were selected for periodontal status assessment. Bone losses in implants were calculated as the differences between 2004 and 2009 bone levels in radiographs. Results: A total of 117 patients were included. Of the 408 teeth considered, 73 (17.9%) were lost in 2009 (losing risk: >50% for bone losses ?7mm). A total of 295 implants were reviewed. Eight of 117 (6.8%) patients had lost implants (13 of 295 implants installed; 4.4%). Implant loss rate (quadrant status) was 1.4% (edentulous), 3.6% (preserved teeth), and 11.1% (lost teeth) (p=0.037). The percentage of implant loss significantly (p<0.001) increased when the medial/distal bone loss was ?3 mm. The highest (p?0.001) pocket depths were found in teeth with ?5mm and implants with ?3mm bone losses, with similar mean values (?4mm), associated with higher rates of plaque index and bleeding by probing. Conclusions: The significant bi-directional relation between plaque and bone loss, and between each of these two parameters/signs and pocket depths or bleeding (both in teeth and implants, and between them) together with the higher percentage of implants lost when the bone loss of the associated teeth was ?3 mm suggest that the patient?s periodontal status is a critical issue in predicting implant health/lesion

Red meat and poultry intake, polymorphisms in the nucleotide excision repair and mismatch repair pathways and colorectal cancer risk

Diets high in red meat have been consistently associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and may result in exposure to carcinogens that cause DNA damage [i.e polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and N-nitroso compounds]. Using a family-based study, we investigated whether polymorphisms in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) (ERCC1 3′ untranslated region (UTR) G/T, XPD Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln, XPC intron 11 C/A, XPA 5′ UTR C/T, XPF Arg415Gln and XPG Asp1104His) and mismatch repair (MLH1 Ile219Val and MSH2 Gly322Asp) pathways modified the association with red meat and poultry intake. We tested for gene–environment interactions using case-only analyses (n = 577) and compared the results using case-unaffected sibling comparisons (n = 307 sibships). Increased risk of CRC was observed for intake of more than or equal to three servings per week of red meat [odds ratio (OR) = 1.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.3–2.5)] or high-temperature cooked red meat (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.1–2.2). Intake of red meat heavily brown on the outside or inside increased CRC risk only among subjects who carried the XPD codon 751 Lys/Lys genotype (case-only interaction P = 0.006 and P = 0.001, respectively, for doneness outside or inside) or the XPD codon 312 Asp/Asp genotype (case-only interaction P = 0.090 and P < 0.001, respectively). These interactions were stronger for rectal cancer cases (heterogeneity test P = 0.002 for XPD Asp312Asn and P = 0.03 for XPD Lys751Gln) and remained statistically significant after accounting for multiple testing. Case-unaffected sibling analyses were generally supportive of the case-only results. These findings highlight the possible contribution of diets high in red meat to the formation of lesions that elicit the NER pathway, such as carcinogen-induced bulky adducts
