Development of a questionnaire to assess patient satisfaction with allergen-specific immunotherapy in adults: item generation, item reduction, and preliminary validation

Journal Article;BACKGROUND Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is a treatment capable of modifying the natural course of allergy, so ensuring good adherence to SIT is fundamental. Up until now there has not existed an instrument specifically developed to measure patient satisfaction with SIT, although its assessment could help us to comprehend better and improve treatment adherence and effectiveness. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to measure adult patient satisfaction with SIT. METHODS Items were generated from a literature review, focus groups with allergic adult patients undergoing SIT, and a meeting with experts. Potential items were administered to allergic patients undergoing SIT in an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study. Item reduction was based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. A preliminary assessment of feasibility, reliability, and validity of the retained items was performed. RESULTS An initial pool of 70 items was administered to 257 patients undergoing SIT. Fifty-four items were eliminated resulting in a provisional instrument with 16 items. Factor analysis yielded four factors that were identified as perceived efficacy, activities and environment, cost-benefit balance, and overall satisfaction, explaining 74.8% of variance. Ceiling and floor effects were negligible for overall score. Overall score was associated with the type and intensity of symptoms. CONCLUSION This is the first attempt to develop a satisfaction with SIT measure from the perspective of the allergic patient, and evidence has been found in favor of its reliability and validity.Ye

The Spanish Bawd: traducción y mitologización

Una de las peculiaridades del The Spanish Bawd, Londres, 1631, la primera traducción inglesa de La Celestina, es la omisión sistemática de todas las referencias religiosas del texto original. El nombre de Dios desaparece casi siempre en la versión inglesa. Suerte pareja corren las frases de la Escritura, al igual que las exclamaciones piadosas y las jaculatorias. Los clérigos, las iglesias, quedan diluidos y a veces se confunden con el mundo o personajes mitológicos. é Por qué el traductor, el oxoniense James Mabbe obró así? Tal proceder parece inexplicable en alguien que ha vertido al inglés los Sermones de Fonseca y otras obras devotas. Esta mitologización del texto priva sólo en la versión inglesa de La Celestina ya que la traducción del Guzmán, también de Mabbe no presenta esta característica. En esta comunicación analizaré brevemente las omisiones y traducciones del elemento religioso para finalmente evaluar las posibles razones que indujeron a semejante actuació

Edificio híbrido de vivienda, comercio y cultura en el distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima

Existen diferencias de estratos socioeconómicos tanto en ciudades como en distritos, tal es el caso del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho, considerado el distrito más grande y más poblado del Perú, que lamentablemente como consecuencia de su crecimiento poblacional y de una inadecuada política de vivienda y falta de planificación, se desarrolló informal y desordenadamente a través del tráfico de terrenos e invasiones. No existe un estudio de planificación urbana que beneficie al ciudadano, por lo que se observan edificaciones improvisadas, que con el paso de tiempo, se sitúan en zonas no habitables e incrementa la informalidad en el sector. Esta propuesta consiste en establecer un sistema de viviendas, espacios comerciales y culturales, que permita lograr el vínculo entre tales usos. La vivienda se sitúa como núcleo central respecto al comercio, el cual se rentabiliza por medio de arrendamiento, buscando otorgar el negocio local a un nivel formal, contemporáneo y eficiente. La finalidad de la propuesta se basa en diferenciar el espacio público con el privado, por consiguiente, se establecen zonas internas y externas que se conectan mediante circulación horizontal y vertical. Finalmente, el presente proyecto está dirigido a ser uno de los primeros edificios híbridos del distrito, con una implementación de infraestructura moderna y funcional que permita albergar espacios adecuados para la movilización y permanencia del usuario. Palabras clave: Comercio, cultura, edificio híbrido, espacio público y privado, infraestructura funcional, porosidad, viviend

Modelling the Process to Access the Spanish Public University System Based on Structural Equation Models

[EN] Currently, one of the challenges of universities is attracting talent in students, researchers, and teachers. The transition from high school to college requires a student to take a succession of decisions that will shape their future. For this reason, knowledge of the motivations of the students, their family, and their personal environment, to choose a particular degree and/or university to pursue their higher studies, would allow universities to efficiently adjust their recruitment strategies. In this article, a study was developed based on a structural equation model of the access to the Spanish Public University System (SUPE), which can help with supply and demand problems, recruitment actions and policies, and other strategic decisions. This was done through an extensive survey of first-year students of Spanish universities. The results allowed us to obtain the parameters of the model, which showed that the fit between the model and the data obtained were excellent at a global level and acceptable as well in all knowledge areas. The objective of the structural model was to provide a general view of the behavior of the students when deciding the degree and university in which they are going to study, and can help in the decision making of university leaders and to understand some behaviors of the Spanish Public University System.This work was funded by the Project "Complex Networks" from the Instituto Universitario de Matematica Multidisciplinar (IUMM) of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV) [grant number (266500194) 20170251-Complex-Networks-UPV].Hervás, A.; Soriano Jiménez, PP.; Guardia, J.; Peró, M.; Capilla Lladró, R.; Montañana Aliaga, JM.
