Assessing College Students’ Social and Emotional Strengths: A Cross-Cultural Comparison from Mexico, United States, and Spain

Endeavors supporting college students’ positive psychosocial development are gaining attention and investment in various countries and social contexts. Higher education experiences provide new academic, social, and vocational advancement opportunities at a critical developmental stage. However, higher education can also cause distress due to the challenges and stressors present during this new stage of increased independence. The Social Emotional Health Survey-Higher Education (SEHS-HE) assesses the core psychosocial strengths of individuals transitioning from secondary schools into institutions of higher education (IHE) to aid campus student support services. The present study sought to extend the SEHS-HE research by examining its application with college student samples from Mexico (n = 4,207), United States (n = 1,638), and Spain (n = 1,734). Confirmatory factor analyses investigated the hypothesized SEHS-HE higher-order factor model. The Mexico sample returned an acceptable model fit, but the USA and Spain samples had a suboptimal fit; hence, we explored alternative models. A two-level structure had full invariance for all three samples. This study extends the current scholarship on the conceptual model and psychometric properties of SEHS-HE. The discussion focuses on implications for future research to enhance SEHS-HE in national and cross-national research and practice.Funding for this project was proved by a grant from University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States (UC MEXUS) and El Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT) to the University of California Santa Barbara and the Universidad de la Salle (Guanajuato) and from the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness of the Government of Spain (I+D+i Projects, 2017, reference number: PSI2017-88280-R)

Autonomía y Participación: Los Retos de la Educación Virtual

The autonomy of students in virtual classes has been a challenge since virtual education took place because of the current pandemic situation, bringing new challenges to educational workers. This article is derived from the secondary school practice experience of a group of students from a public university in Bogotá; the researchers of this study present the preliminary results of the ongoing practicum experience subject. It will present the importance of autonomy in the virtual educational context and how it affects the development of classes. This is qualitative research, a case study; the data were collected through field notes and class observations from seven secondary school groups. Findings suggest that participation is a chief variable in virtual class development and the challenges that teachers face are gaining a permanent place in the current educational reality.La autonomía de los estudiantes en las clases virtuales ha sido un reto desde que se implementó la educación virtual debido a la pandemia, lo que ha planteado nuevos desafíos a los educadores.

Overweight in schoolchildren and nutrient intake

Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one of the most serious health problems of the 21st century is childhood obesity. In 2016, more than 400 million children and adolescents between the age of 5 and 19 were overweight or obese. The aim of this study is to evaluate the consumption, habits and dietary practices of schoolchildren who suffer from malnutrition due to overweight or obesity. Methods: descriptive, correlational and prospective study using a quantitative approach. The sample size was 82 girls and boys who met the inclusion criteria between 8 and 14 years of a public institution of basic education in Barranquilla. Results: schoolchildren of both sexes had a high prevalence of obesity, particularly in the female group (76.44%). A dietary interview using the frequency of food consumption method showed a moderate consumption of fruits and vegetables, as well as a high consumption of sugary drinks, fried foods, cookies and sweets, and a low intake of water. Regarding eating habits and practices, it was reported that a high percentage of schoolchildren receive diets and purchase cookies, ice cream, sugary drink or juices and salty snacks. Discussion: a a study revealed in 56 schoolchildren evaluated the prevalence of overweight of Spanish schoolchildren according to sex, thus showing a higher prevalence of overweight in girls (21.9%) than in boys, (10.1%) while the prevalence go obesity was higher in boys (24.5%) than in girls (9.7%). A systematic analysis reported in a population of children and adults from 1980 to 2013, finding a prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys (26.3% and 9.4%, respectively) and girls (27.3% and 8.3%). Our study presents excessive figures related to obesity mainly in schoolgirls (76.44%). Conclusion: Our data show a relationship between the prevalence of overweight and obesity and poor consumption and eating habits and practices

EVIDENCIA DE ESTRÉS CARBONÍLICO EN PACIENTES CON DIABETES MELLITUS TIPO 2 DE UNA UNIDAD MÉDICA DE PRIMER NIVEL DE ATENCIÓN DE HERMOSILLO, SONORA

En la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), la carbonilación proteica está asociada con la hiperglicemia crónica. Es una modificación química espontánea que altera la estructura y funciones nativas de las proteínas, por lo que podría ser un estimador del control metabólico de los pacientes. En México no es utilizado en la práctica clínica, por lo que no es posible saber si los pacientes con DM2 presentan una concentración alta de proteínas carboniladas. En este trabajo, de tipo transversal analítico, se incluyeron 68 pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 de una unidad médica de primer nivel de Hermosillo, Sonora, para determinar la concentración de proteínas séricas carboniladas y estimar su relación con los marcadores de control metabólico de la DM2. Los resultados demostraron el incremento significativo en la concentración de proteínas séricas carboniladas que correlacionó positivamente con la glicemia y con la concentración de albúmina carbonilada. Estos sugieren que el estrés carbonílico de los pacientes está asociado con el descontrol glicémico y que la albúmina es una de las principales fracciones proteicas modificadas. Se recomiendan futuros estudios para determinar el valor clínico de las proteínas séricas carboniladas como marcador de control metabólico en los pacientes estudiados

Compromising between European and US allergen immunotherapy schools: Discussions from GUIMIT, the Mexican immunotherapy guidelines

Background: Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has a longstanding history and still remains the only disease-changing treatment for allergic rhinitis and asthma. Over the years 2 different schools have developed their strategies: the United States (US) and the European. Allergen extracts available in these regions are adapted to local practice. In other parts of the world, extracts from both regions and local ones are commercialized, as in Mexico. Here, local experts developed a national AIT guideline (GUIMIT 2019) searching for compromises between both schools. Methods: Using ADAPTE methodology for transculturizing guidelines and AGREE-II for evaluating guideline quality, GUIMIT selected 3 high-quality Main Reference Guidelines (MRGs): the European Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (EAACI) guideines, the S2k guideline of various German-speaking medical societies (2014), and the US Practice Parameters on Allergen Immunotherapy 2011. We formulated clinical questions and based responses on the fused evidence available in the MRGs, combined with local possibilities, patient's preference, and costs. We came across several issues on which the MRGs disagreed. These are presented here along with arguments of GUIMIT members to resolve them. GUIMIT (for a complete English version, see Supplementary data) concluded the following: Results: Related to the diagnosis of IgE-mediated respiratory allergy, apart from skin prick testing complementary tests (challenges, in vitro testing and molecular such as species-specific allergens) might be useful in selected cases to inform AIT composition. AIT is indicated in allergic rhinitis and suggested in allergic asthma (once controlled) and IgE-mediated atopic dermatitis. Concerning the correct subcutaneous AIT dose for compounding vials according to the US school: dosing tables and formula are given; up to 4 non-related allergens can be mixed, refraining from mixing high with low protease extracts. When using European extracts: the manufacturer's indications should be followed; in multi-allergic patients 2 simultaneous injections can be given (100% consensus); mixing is discouraged. In Mexico only allergoid tablets are available; based on doses used in all sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) publications referenced in MRGs, GUIMIT suggests a probable effective dose related to subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) might be: 50–200% of the monthly SCIT dose given daily, maximum mixing 4 allergens. Also, a table with practical suggestions on non-evidence-existing issues, developed with a simplified Delphi method, is added. Finally, dissemination and implementation of guidelines is briefly discussed, explaining how we used online tools for this in Mexico. Conclusions: Countries where European and American AIT extracts are available should adjust AIT according to which school is followed
