Estudio Sobre La Relación Entre Mobbing Y La Satisfacción Laboral En Docentes De Instituciones De Educación Superior En México

Currently, the technological and administrative modernity has revolutionized the dynamics of work in organizations. In recent years, the existence of mobbing has been pointed out, which represents an obstacle to the integral development of workers; therefore, job satisfaction plays a fundamental role in the quality of life of people. In the present work a quantitative research was carried out, a transversal-correlational design was used, to determine if there is a statistically significant relationship between the mobbing variables and job satisfaction of the teachers of the Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The sample consisted of 248 teachers from four HEI in central Mexico. The hypotheses were evaluated through the chi-square statistical test. The results reveal the dependence between the dimensions of the variables analyzed

Experience with the use of Rituximab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in a tertiary Hospital in Spain: RITAR study

There is evidence supporting that there are no relevant clinical differences between dosing rituximab 1000 mg or 2000 mg per cycle in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in clinical trials, and low-dose cycles seem to have a better safety profile. Our objective was to describe the pattern of use of rituximab in real-life practice conditions. Methods: Rituximab for RA in clinical practice (RITAR) study is a retrospective cohort study from 2005 to 2015. Eligibility criteria were RA adults treated with rituximab for active articular disease. Response duration was the main outcome defined as months elapsed from the date of rituximab first infusion to the date of flare. A multivariable analysis was performed to determine the variables associated with response duration. Results: A total of 114 patients and 409 cycles were described, 93.0% seropositive and 80.7% women. Rituximab was mainly used as second-line biological therapy. On demand retreatment was used in 94.6% of cases versus fixed 6 months retreatment in 5.4%. Median response duration to on demand rituximab cycles was 10 months (interquartile range, 7–13). Multivariable analysis showed that age older than 65 years, number of rituximab cycles, seropositivity, and first- or second-line therapy were associated with longer response duration. The dose administered at each cycle was not significantly associated with response duration. Conclusions: Our experience suggests that 1000 mg rituximab single infusion on demand is a reasonable schedule for long-term treatment of those patients with good response after the first cycles, especially in seropositive patients and when it is applied as a first- or second-line biological therap

La práctica basada en la evidencia en la logopedia española: actitudes, usos y barreras

In this study we analysed the attitudes of Spanish speech-language therapists towards Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), the use of various resources in clinical decision process and the barrier perception towards EBP. A questionnaire was filled in by 217 therapists all over the country. We carried out several multiple regression analyses to investigate the predictive power of a number of variables on attitudes, uses and resources towards EBP. We found that the knowledge of scientific literature during the years of academic education and, above all, professional practice, are the most important factors in keeping positive attitudes towards EBP, in using a larger number of resources, and in perceiving fewer potential barriers towards EBP. Moreover, we did not detect a decrease of interest in EBP and in scientific updating as partici­pants gain professional experience, since the working age was not considered to be a predictive element in the regression analyses carried out.Se analizan las actitudes de los logopedas españoles hacia la Práctica Basada en la Evidencia (PBE), el uso de diferentes recursos en el proceso de toma de decisión clínica y la percepción de barreras hacia la PBE a través de la aplicación de un cuestionario a 217 logopedas de varias comunidades autónomas. Distintos análisis de regresión múltiple analizan la capacidad predictiva de diferentes variables sobre las actitudes, usos y recursos hacia la PBE, detectando que el contacto con la literatura científica durante los años de formación académica y, sobre todo, de ejercicio profesional, constituye el factor más importante para mantener actitudes positivas hacia la PBE, utilizar más recursos y fuentes de documentación en la toma de decisión  y  percibir menos barreras hacia la PBE. El interés por la PBE y la actualización científica  no decae  con el tiempo de ejercicio profesional , como predicen los análisis de regresión realizados

Evaluation of protective effect of different dietary fibers on polyphenolic profile stability of maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis (Molina) Stuntz) during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion

The aim of this work was to determine the protective effect of different dietary fibers on (i) the recovery and bioaccessibility indexes, and (ii) the stability of polyphenolic compounds (phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins) of maqui berry powder subjected to in vitro gastrointestinal digestion (GID). The extracts obtained in each phase (oral, gastric and intestinal) of GID were used to analyze the stability of polyphenolic compounds by HPLC, and the bioaccessibility of these compounds was also determined. At the end of the GID process, the mixture of maqui berry with the different fibers increased the bioaccessibility index of the phenolic and flavonoid compounds in all cases. The results obtained suggest that the anthocyanins and phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds present in maqui are stabilized through dietary fiber interactions, which might provide sufficient levels for absorption during gastrointestinal digestion. The gums sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum and guar gum provided the best protective effect

La irrigación en la Bética romana: las fuentes escritas para el estudio de los humedales

[EN] This paper is part of the studies of the Research Project “Riparia. Conceptualization, management, exploitation and function of Wetlands and the lacustrine spaces in the Roman Baetica”. Through analysis of the diverse documentary sources, particularly from the epigraphic and legal ones, it tries the conceptual definition of lacustrine and wetland spaces and its reflection in those who integrate the riverside areas of the Roman Baetica. This Roman region was a space that counted on diversity of wetlands and lacustrine areas, as much in the coast as in the interior, and had to be organized, to be regularized and to be used by the Roman power from its inception in the territory after the creation in 197 BC of the Ulterior Baetica province, to the object of its correct exploitation and economic advantage taking into account the resources that it provided.[ES] La presente comunicación forma parte de los estudios del Proyecto de Investigación “Riparia. Conceptualización, gestión, explotación y función de los espacios lacustres en la Bética romana” y pretende la definición conceptual, a través del análisis de las diversas fuentes documentales, particularmente de las epigráficas y jurídicas, de los espacios lacustres y humedales y su reflejo en aquellos que integran los medios ribereños de la Bética romana. Esta región romana fue un espacio que contó con diversidad de zonas humedales y lacustres, tanto en la costa como en el interior, y hubo de ser organizado, regularizado y utilizado por el poder romano desde su aparición en el territorio tras la creación en el 197 a.C. de la provincia Ulterior Baetica, al objeto de su correcta explotación y aprovechamiento económico habida cuenta de los recursos que suministraba.Cañizar Palacios, JL.; Fornell Muñoz, A.; López Medina, MJ.

Repetición de pseudopalabras en niños con síndrome de Down

el síndrome de Down (SD) es un trastorno genético que se expresa en distintas alteraciones físicas, sensoriales y cognitivas. Se describe que los niños con SD presentan alteración en la repetición de las pseudopalabras. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las investigaciones son en lengua inglesa. el objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el rendimiento de niños con síndrome de Down de habla española, en una prueba de pseudopa labras cuando los factores de audición, vocabulario e ininteligibilidad fueron controlados. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 26 sujetos distri buidos en dos grupos: 13 niños con síndrome de Down y 13 niños con desarrollo normal del lenguaje. Los resultados corroboran los hallazgos en otras lenguas, es decir, los niños con SD de este estudio mostraron un rendimiento deficiente en la repetición de palabras y pseudopalabras, existieron diferencias significativas en pseudopalabras simples y no se observó un efecto de longitud de palabras. en la conclusión se trata de dar una explicación a los resultados encontrados y se plantea la eficacia del uso de una prueba de pseudopalabras para medir la memoria de trabajo fonológica en menores con S

Valorización energética de los residuos sólidos mediante la tecnología de gasificación por plasma

Actualmente el problema de los residuos sólidos es una dificultad ambiental, no menos importante que el agua, el aire, el suelo, etc. Por lo tanto, periódicamente se deberían evaluar los métodos de tratamiento y nuevas tecnologías térmicas en la disposición final, con el objetivo de aprovechar la riqueza de los residuos sólidos como fuente alternativa de energía renovable. La conversión térmica de los residuos sólidos (WtE) es una alternativa tecnológica prometedora al futuro del manejo y disposición final, en especial la gasificación por plasma debido a que maximiza la combustión y minimiza la contaminación, generando productos primarios amigables con el ambiente como el syngas (gas de síntesis) y el slag (residuo sólido vitrificado).This work proposes an overview of thermal conversion of solid waste to recovering energy from waste (WtE) by gasification process. Nowadays, solid waste management is very acute, complicated and difficult problem because of population growth and increase in the consumption of goods and services. Furthermore, waste generation will outpace that we need to take urgent action on, about of new thermal technologies as methods of treatment. Those technologies not only treat all types of waste, but also produces many useful byproducts and electricity. On the other hand, the continuing growth in demand for fossil fuel has necessitated the search for alternative sources of renewable energy. Therefore, solid waste are one alternative of recovering energy to electricity but at the present time has not been given adequate attention

Word-initial rhotic clusters in Spanish-speaking preschoolers in Chile and Granada, Spain

Versión aceptada Versión online publicada en 2017 Versión Print publicada en 2018The current paper describes Spanish acquisition of rhotic onset clusters. Data are also provided on related singleton taps/trills and /l/ as a single ton and in clusters. Participants included 9 typically developing (TD) toddlers and 30 TD preschoolers in Chile, and 30 TD preschoolers and 29 with protracted phonological development (PPD) in Granada, Spain. Results showed age and developmental group effects. Preservation of cluster timing units preceded segmental accuracy, especially in stressed syllables. Tap clusters versus singleton trills were variable in order of mastery, some children mastering clusters first, and others, the trill. Rhotics were acquired later than /l/. In early development, mismatches (errors) involved primarily deletion of taps; where substitutions occurred, [j] frequently replaced tap. In later development, [l] more frequently replaced tap; where taps did occur, vowel epenthesis sometimes occurred. The data serve as a criterion reference database for onset cluster acquisition in Chilean and Granada Spanish.Thank you also for funding by the: - Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada grant 410-2009-0348, - Programa FONDECYT de la Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica CONICYT [National Commission for Scientific and Technological Investigation] in Chile. - Junta de Andalucía in Spain, Grupo de Investigación Hum-605, Logopedia Experimental y Aplicada [Experimental and applied speech-language pathology]
