Ansiedad ante la muerte en la adolescencia

[Resumen] Con este trabajo se pretende profundizar en el conocimiento de la ansiedad ante la muerte en la adolescencia determinando si hay diferencias significativas en aquélla en función de diferentes variables. Para ello se ha aplicado la Death Anxiety Scale -DAS-, de Templer (1970), a 505 sujetos (266 mujeres y 239 varones) con un rango de edad de 16 a 19 años (edad media = 16.99, DT=.96). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las/los adolescentes obtienen una puntuación media en la DAS de 8.013 (DT=3.492). Se encuentran diferencias significativas en las puntuaciones obtenidas en la DAS en función del sexo, religión, práctica religiosa y opción política.[Abstract] With this work it is sought to deepen in the knowledge of the anxiety in the face of the death in the adolescence, determining if there are significant differences in this actitud in function of different variables. For it was applied the Death Anxiety Scale of Templer (1970) to 505 adolescents (266 women and 239 men) with an age range of 16 to 19 years (half age= 16.99, SD = .96). The obtained results show that the adolescents obtain a half punctuation in the DAS of 8.013 (SD= 3.492). We find significant differences in the punctuations obtained in the DAS in function of the sex, the religion, religious practice and politicalopcion

Pensamiento constructivo como medida de inteligencia emocional en patología dual

Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio es comparar el pensamiento constructivo, una medida de inteligencia emocional, entre una muestra clínica de pacientes adultos diagnosticados de patología dual y una muestra no clínica. Método: Mediante un diseño de investigación comparativo, una muestra no clínica de 835 sujetos se comparó con una muestra de 180 sujetos diagnosticados de patología dual: 78 con trastornos clínicos o del Eje I y102 con trastornos de la personalidad o del Eje II, según criterios DSM-IV-TR. Resultados: Los resultados indican un pensamiento constructivo superior en la muestra no clínica, así como un pensamiento destructivo superior en la muestra con patología dual. No se apreciaron diferencias entre trastornos clínicos y de personalidad. Conclusiones: La muestra clínica presenta un patrón destructivo o desadaptativo de afrontamiento en comparación con población no clínica, que en el caso de pacientes con trastornos de personalidad se ve incrementado por ilusiones, supersticiones y pensamientos esotéricos que contribuyen a su afrontamiento deficitario.The objective of this study is to compare the constructive thinking, a measure of emotional intelligence, between a clinical sample of adult patients diagnosed with dual diagnosis and a non-clinical sample. Method: By means of a comparative design of investigation, a not clinical sample of 835 subjects was compared with a sample of 180 subjects diagnosed of dual diagnosis: 78 with clinical disorders or of the Axix I and 102 with disorders of the personality or of the Axis II, according to DSM-TR-IV. Results: The results indicate a constructive thinking greater than in the non-clinical sample, as well as a destructive thinking higher in the sample with dual diagnosis. There were no differences between clinical disorders and personality. Conclusions: The clinic sample presents a destructive pattern of coping or no adaptative compared with non-clinical population, which in the case of patients with personality disorders is increased by illusions and superstitions and esoteric thoughts that contribute to their coping deficit

Cognitive-behavioral family therapy with four adults

Se presenta el caso de una familia de cuatro miembros en la cual, a partir de un ictus sufrido por la madre tres años atrás, se produjo un cambio de roles y la aparición de conflictos familiares. Tras la evaluación, la familia aceptó que los problemas no eran solo de la madre, sino que implicaban una dinámica familiar disfuncional. La terapia fue aplicada a lo largo de 24 sesiones y algunos breves contactos individuales paralelos, e incluyó fomento de la empatía, entrenamiento en habilidades de comunicación, negociación y resolución de problemas, reestructuración cognitiva y potenciación del afecto positivo y de actividades agradables conjuntas. Según la familia y las terapeutas, se consiguieron en gran medida los objetivos propuestos, lo cual vino refrendado por diversos cuestionarios. Las mejoras se mantuvieron en el seguimiento a los 10 meses. Los buenos resultados podrían ser explicados por la gran motivación de la familia para el cambio, la buena relación terapéutica y la aplicación de técnicas con apoyo empíricoThe case of a family of four members is presented.

Sexist Myths Emergency Healthcare Professionals and Factors Associated with the Detection of Intimate Partner Violence in Women

This study analysed the capacity of emergency physicians and nurses working in the city of Granada (Spain) to respond to intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, and the mediating role of certain factors and opinions towards certain sexist myths in the detection of cases. This is a cross-sectional study employing the physician readiness to manage intimate partner violence survey (PREMIS) between October 2020 and January 2021, with 164 surveys analysed. Descriptive and analytical statistics were applied, designing three multivariate regression models by considering opinions about different sexist myths. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were considered for the detection of cases. In the past six months, 34.8% of professionals reported that they had identified some cases of IPV, particularly physicians (OR = 2.47, 95% CI = 1.14–5.16; OR = 2.65, 95% CI = 1.26–5.56). Those who did not express opinions towards sexist myths related to the understanding of the victim or the consideration of alcohol/drug abuse as the main causes of violence and showed a greater probability of detecting a case (NS) (OR = 1.26 and OR = 1.65, respectively). In order to confirm the indicia found, further research is required, although there tends to be a common opinion towards the certain sexual myth of emergency department professionals not having an influence on IPV against women.Support and Promotion of Research on Equality and Inclusion, programme 50 of the Research and Transfer Plan (University of Granada

Dracon: An Open-Hardware Based Platform for Single-Chip Low-Cost Reconfigurable IoT Devices

The development of devices for the Internet of Things (IoT) requires the rapid prototyping of different hardware configurations. In this paper, a modular hardware platform allowing to prototype, test and even implement IoT appliances on low-cost reconfigurable devices is presented. The proposed platform, named Dracon, includes a Z80-clone microprocessor, up to 64 KB of RAM, and 256 inputs/outputs (I/Os). These I/Os can be used to connect additional co-processors within the same FPGA, external co-processors, communications modules, sensors and actuators. Dracon also includes as default peripherals a UART for programming and accessing the microprocessor, a Real Time Clock, and an Interrupt Timer. The use of an 8-bit microprocessor allows the use of the internal memory of the reconfigurable device as program memory, thereby, enabling the implementation of a complete IoT device within a single low-cost chip. Indeed, results using a Spartan 7 FPGA show that it is possible to implement Dracon with only 1515 6-input LUTs while operating at a maximum frequency of 80 MHz, which results in a better trade-off in terms of area and performance than other less powerful and less versatile alternatives in the literature. Moreover, the presented platform allows the development of embedded software applications independently of the selected FPGA device, enabling rapid prototyping and implementations on devices from different manufacturers.Junta de AndaluciaEuropean Commission B-TIC-588-UGR2
