El Burnout en los profesionales de la educación que trabajan con personas con discapacidad en Córdoba (España). Influencia de las variables laborales.

Esta investigación examina la relación entre el Burnout y sus dimensiones (agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y realización personal), y las características laborales de los profesionales que trabajan con personas con discapacidad en Córdoba. Se trata de un estudio de prevalencia, descriptivo y transversal. La muestra seleccionada consta de 157 profesionales que trabajan en centros y en empresas de atención a personas con discapacidad en Córdoba. Los resultados han evidenciado que existe un elevado nivel de Burnout generalizado. Y atendiendo a los variables laborales, se ha obtenido que los profesionales con 21 años o más de experiencia, padecen más Burnout que los más inexpertos. Los profesionales con contrato indefinido en su empresa presentan niveles más elevados de Burnout que los definidos. Los profesionales que llevan 21 años o más en el puesto de trabajo actual, padecen más Burnout que el grupo que lleva 5 años o menos, y además, estos profesionales con mucho tiempo trabajado en la misma empresa, también muestran niveles más elevados de Burnout que los profesionales con poco tiempo, 5 años o menos. Estos resultados confirman estudios previos (Puialto, Antolín y Moure, 2006), y han permitido identificar que más de la mitad de los trabajadores presentan elevados niveles de Burnout. Al tratarse de un tema crucial para el profesional del ámbito de la discapacidad, para la empresa y también para la sociedad, se debe insistir en esta línea de investigación para favorecer la reducción del Burnout en este colectivo.This research examines the relationship between burnout and its dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment), and the labor characteristics of professionals who work with people with disabilities in Cordoba. This is a prevalence study, descriptive and transversal. The sample consists of 157 professionals working in centers and companies care to people with disabilities in Cordoba. The results showed that a high level of generalized Burnout. And in response to labor variables, it has been obtained that professionals with 21 years or more experience, more Burnout suffer the most inexperienced. Professionals with permanent contracts in your company have higher levels of burnout than those defined. The professionals who have spent more than 21 years in the current job suffer more burnout than the group that takes 5 years or less, and also professionals with long worked in the same company, more than 21 years show higher levels Burnout professionals with less than 5 years or less. These results confirm previous studies (Puialto, Antolin and Moure, 2006), and have identified that more than half of workers have high levels of Burnout. And it is therefore crucial for the professional field of disability, for the company and for society issue, should insist on this research to help reduce the Burnout in this grou

La relevancia de la cognición social en la esquizofrenia

La investigación realizada en los últimos años ha mostrado la existencia de una correlación entre los déficits cognitivos y el funcionamiento social en esquizofrenia. Mientras que los déficits en la atención, la memoria y el funcionamiento ejecutivo han sido ampliamente estudiados, se ha puesto menos atención a la investigación en cognición social. Sin embargo, la cognición social se está convirtiendo en el foco de interés porque la evidencia empírica está mostrando su relevancia funcional como variable mediadora entre neurocognición y el nivel de funcionamiento social del paciente con esquizofrenia. En consecuencia, se han desarrollado nuevas intervenciones centradas en los componentes clave de la cognición social que están deteriorados en la esquizofrenia (procesamiento emocional, percepción social, teoría de la mente, esquemas sociales/conocimiento social y estilo atribucional), con el objetivo de mejorar el funcionamiento cognitivo social. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: sintetizar cuál es la concepto actual de cognición social, indicar cuáles son los componentes que incluye, presentar algunos de los instrumentos disponibles para evaluar la cognición social y revisar los programas de intervención más destacados que están dirigidos a mejorar la cognición social en las personas con esquizofrenia.Research conducted in recent years has shown correlations between neurocognitive deficits and functional outcome in schizophrenia. Whereas deficits such as attention, memory and executive functioning have been widely studied, less attention has been paid to social cognition. However social cognition is moving into the focus of interest because empirical evidence is showing the functional significance of social cognition as a mediating variable between neurocognition and the social level of functioning in schizophrenic patients. Consequently, new interventions have been developed focusing on the key domains of social cognition that are impaired in schizophrenia (emotion perception, social perception, theory of main, social schemata, and attributional style), with the goal of improving social cognitive functioning. The purpose of this present work is: to summarize the current conceptualisation of social cognition and the domains included under this concept; to present some of the instruments available to evaluate social cognition; and to review the main intervention programs devoted to improving social cognition in schizophrenia.Universidad de Valencia UV-AE- 20060248Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia SEJ2006-0705

Viabilidad de los aparcamientos sobre rasante frente a los bajo rasante

This writing is intended to highlight the differences and economic resources between a parking lot built in two different situations; underground and above ground. To do so, is designed a model more integrated as possible in a specific urban reality with benefits and same construction characteristics, except those bound by its situation, so that they can be compared according to the theory of the global cost in construction area. So, has been implemented the model designed in two situations, underground and above ground, and studied and compared the costs of investment, exploitation, demolition and recycling, as well as a first assessment evaluation of the resources needed for the implementation of the same ones, with a 50-year life cycle.En este trabajo se pretende poner de manifiesto las diferencias económicas y de recursos entre un aparcamiento construido en dos situaciones distintas; bajo rasante y sobre rasante. Para ello, se ha diseñado un modelo lo más integrado posible en una realidad urbanística concreta, con prestaciones y características constructivas iguales, salvo las obligadas por su situación, de forma que puedan ser comparados a la luz de la teoría del coste global en edificación. Así, se ha implantado el modelo diseñado en las dos situaciones, bajo rasante y sobre rasante, y estudiado y comparado los costes de inversión, explotación, demolición y reciclaje. Se ha realizado también una primera evaluación de los recursos necesarios para la ejecución de los mismos, para un ciclo de vida de 50 años

Women’s presence and roles in video games journalism: ananalysis of newsrooms and cultural critique in Spanish specialized media

Introducción: El periodismo cultural destaca por su función prescriptiva, que marca la agenda al determinar cuáles son los productos que merecen recibir la atención del público. Dentro de esta área informativa se encuentran los videojuegos, una industria tradicionalmente criticada por sus marcadas desigualdades de género. Este artículo se propone describir la presencia y el papel de la mujer en los principales medios especializados españoles. Metodología: Se estudiaron la estructura redaccional de los portales 3DJuegos, AnaitGames, AreaJugones, Eurogamer, IGN, HobbyConsolas, Meristation, Nintenderos y Vandal, así como todos los análisis de videojuegos publicados entre 1997 y 2022 (n=34.529). Resultados: Las mujeres apenas representan el 18,6% de las plantillas de las grandes revistas del sector, y su vinculación a estas se produce sobre todo por medio de la figura del colaborador externo. Su presencia en los puestos de mando es inexistente en siete de las nueve webs escogidas. Además, en los últimos 25 años apenas han firmado un 3,6% de todos los análisis publicados, si bien la cifra ha vivido un tímido pero constante crecimiento en los últimos tiempos impulsada por los cambios acometidos en AnaitGames, Eurogamer y Meristation. Principalmente suelen escribir sobre videojuegos musicales o aptos para todos los públicos; los juegos para adultos, violentos o de conducción se reservan por lo general a hombres. Conclusiones: Este trabajo pone de manifiesto la enorme brecha de género existente aún hoy en la prensa de videojuegos, y llama la atención sobre determinados estereotipos que parecen seguir perpetuándose en la prensa especializada española.Introduction: Cultural journalism is characterized by its prescriptive function, which sets the agenda by determining which products deserve to receive public attention. Within this area of specialization is video games journalism, whose industry has traditionally been criticized for its marked gender inequalities. This article aims to describe the presence and role of women in Spanish specialized media outlets. Methodology: We studied the newsroom composition of the websites 3DJuegos, AnaitGames, AreaJugones, Eurogamer, IGN, HobbyConsolas, Meristation, Nintenderos and Vandal, as well as all their reviews published between 1997 and 2022 (n=34,529). Results: Women barely represent 18.6% of the staff of the major magazines in the sector, and are most frequently linked to them as external collaborators. Their presence in managerial tasks is non-existent in seven of the nine outlets. In addition, in the last 25 years they have only signed 3.6% of all the reviews, although the figure has experienced a timid but constant growth in recent years, driven by the changes made in AnaitGames, Eurogamer and Meristation. They usually write about musical videogames, as well as those suitable for all audiences, while adult, violent or driving games are generally reserved for men. Conclusions: This work highlights the enormous gender gap that still exists today in video games press, and draws the attention to certain stereotypes that continue to perpetuate in Spanish specialized press

Lung function, allergic sensitization and asthma in school-aged children after viral-coinfection bronchiolitis

Our main objective was to compare the lung function, the rate of allergic sensitization and the prevalence of asthma at 7-9 years in children hospitalized for bronchiolitis with viral coinfection versus single viral infection. Observational study in children with previous bronchiolitis and current age 7-9 years. Clinical data were collected. Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) determination, spirometry and skin prick test for common aeroallergens were performed. A total of 181 children hospitalized for bronchiolitis (40 coinfections and 141 single infections), with median age of 8.3 years (IQR:7.5-9.1) were included. Single-HRV-infections showed lower basal FEV1(%) than coinfections (p = 0.04) and lower z-score FEV1 than single-RSV-infections (p = 0.04) or coinfections (p = 0.02). Also, single-HRV-infections had lower post-bronchodilator FEV1(%) and z-score FEV1 values than coinfections (p = 0.03 and p = 0.03). Single-HRV-bronchiolitis was an independent risk factor for FEV1  25 ppb was detected in 21(12.5%) cases, without differences between viral groups (p = 0.768). The prevalence of allergic sensitization was similar in coinfections (31.4%) versus single infections (38.7%), (p = 0.428). The highest frequency of allergic rhinitis was observed in single-HRV patients (p = 0.004). The respiratory morbidity at 7-9 years of coinfected patients was similar to the single-HRV ones. In contrast, the likelihood of current asthma was up to 5 times higher in RSV/HRV coinfections than in the single-RSV-infections ones (p = 0.012). The respiratory morbidity at 7-9 years of age after severe bronchiolitis is significantly higher in single-HRV or viral coinfection patients that in single-RSV ones. Single-HRV-bronchiolitis is independently associated with lower lung function at school-age.This study has been partially supported by Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias –Spanish Health Research Fund Grant PI12/0129 and Grant from IX Convocatoria Proyectos de Investigación de la Fundación Universidad Alfonso X El Sabio.

Influence of tragacanth gum in egg white based bioplastics: Thermomechanical and water uptake properties

This study aims to extend the range of applications of tragacanth gum by studying its incorporation into bioplastics formulation, exploring the influence that different gum contents (0–20 wt.%) exert over the thermomechanical and water uptake properties of bioplastics based on egg white albumen protein (EW). The effect of plasticizer nature was also evaluated through the modification of the water/glycerol ratio within the plasticizer fraction (fixed at 40 wt.%). The addition of tragacanth gum generally yielded an enhancement of the water uptake capacity, being doubled at the highest content. Conversely, presence of tragacanth gum resulted in a considerable decrease in the bioplastic mechanical properties: both tensile strength and maximum elongation were reduced up to 75% approximately when compared to the gumfree system. Ageing of selected samples was also studied, revealing an important effect of storage time when tragacanth gum is present, possibly due to its hydrophilic character.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MAT2011-29275-C02-01

Latent Profiles of Burnout, Self-Esteem and Depressive Symptomatology among Teachers

Burnout is a reality in the teaching profession. Specifically, teaching staff usually have higher burnout rates. The present study aims to analyze the different burnout profiles and to verify if there were differences between burnout profiles in depressive symptomatology and in the self-esteem of the teachers at school. The total number of participants was 210 teachers from 30 to 65 years. The first scale was the Maslach burnout inventory, the second scale was the Self-Rating depression scale and the third scale was the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale . The latent class analysis identified three burnout profiles: the first group with a high level of emotional exhaustion, low personal accomplishment and depersonalization (high burnout); the second group with low emotional exhaustion, low depersonalization and high personal accomplishment (low burnout) and the third group with low depersonalization, low emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment (moderate burnout). The results revealed that there were differences in depressive symptomatology (group 1 obtained higher scores than group 2 and group 3) and self-esteem (group 2 obtained higher scores than group 1). The psychological balance and health of teachers depend on preventing the factors that have been associated with this syndrome

Líneas directrices para la adaptación del PGC de las empresas de la Junta de Andalucía

La aprobación del nuevo PGC ha traído consigo la necesidad de redactar nuevas adaptaciones para sectores específicos. Este es el caso de la normativa contable aplicable a las empresas públicas de la Junta de Andalucía. Este trabajo estudia las peculiaridades de la adaptación existente y la realidad de las empresas a las que se dirige para proponer las líneas básicas sobre las que fundamentar la nueva adaptación. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio pormenorizado de las normas y pronunciamientos de referencia existentes hasta la fecha y un análisis de las Cuentas Anuales de las principales empresas implicadas. El resultado se concreta en el establecimiento de las líneas principales sobre las que basar la propuesta de adaptación.The passing of the law regulating the new PGC (Spanish GAAP) has brought about the need to design adaptations of the norm for specific sectors. This is the case with public sector companies and agencies under the control of the Regional Government of Andalusia (Junta de Andalucía) and their applicable accounting principles. This study focusses on the specifcs of the adaptation currently in use by those companies, as well as on the relevant and necessary factors in the design of a new adaptation to the newly passed PGC. Methodological strategies include a detailed study of the regulations and norms, relevant statements of reference, and Annual Accounts of the companies involved. A specific proposal for adaptation materializes out of the conclusions and results of this stud

Determination of booster biocides in sediments by focused ultrasoundassisted extraction and stir bar sorptive extraction–thermal desorption–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

Booster biocides present in natural waters may be captured by the sediments. Highly sensitive, robust, selective and reliable analytical methods are required to evaluate their presence in the sediments. A focused ultrasound assisted extraction method for the simultaneous determination of five organic booster biocides (Chlorothalonil, Dichlofluanid, Sea-Nine 211, Irgarol 1051 and TCMTB) in marine sediments is proposed. The isolation of the target compounds from 0.5 g of sediment was efficient using 2.5 mL of methanol as solvent, an output amplitude of 50 W, 100% duty cycle and an extraction time of 300 s. The extraction procedure was followed by solid-phase clean-up on non-polar sorbents (Oasis HLB). The compounds were sampled using stir bars (20 mm length, 0.5 mm film thickness) coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The stir bars were stirred at 900 rpm for 3 hours at room temperature. Desorption was carried out by thermal desorption (TD), and the analytes were separated in the gas chromatography (GC). They were detected by triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using the multiple reaction monitor (MRM) mode. The detection limits (DLs) of booster biocides were in the range of 0.02 to 2.2 ng g-1 dry weight. The regression coefficients were higher than 0.999. The average recovery was higher than 86% (R.S.D.: 7–15%). The analytical procedure was applied to determination of the booster biocides in port sediment samples from the southwestern Spain. Sea-Nine 211 was found in one sediment at a level of 2.1 ng g-1. Irgarol was present in all the sediments at concentrations between 2 and 9 ng g-1.MINECO (Ministerio de Economía y Empresa) CGL2017-82739-P, UNHU10-1E-311Departamento de Ingeniería Química, Química Física y Ciencias de los Materiale
