Sexualidad y relaciones contemporáneas

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación en la cual se sistematizaron los avances en la generación de nuevo conocimiento y producto del acompañamiento de proyectos de grado relacionados con la sexualidad y las relaciones contemporáneas, desarrollados por investigadores del grupo “Cultura, Educación y Sociedad” y sus redes de colaboración académica. Se implementó un proceso de sistematización, a partir del cual se identificaron las siguientes categorías: La primera, presenta la concepción actual sobre la sexualidad y la salud sexual, así como posturas relacionadas con la construcción psicosocial del género. La segunda, da cuenta de los estudios relacionados con la expresión de la sexualidad y el género en contextos de relación como la vida de pareja, el escenario organizacional y la vida comunitaria. En la tercera, se muestran las tendencias producto de los modelos de evaluación e intervención basados en evidencia para mitigar las problemáticas asociadas a las conductas sexuales de riesgo, la educación sexual en niños y adolescentes, el conflicto de pareja y la violencia de género. Se espera que el texto sirva para la fundamentación de los académicos interesados en esta área del conocimiento dada la relevancia que tienen las problemáticas asociadas a este tema en el territorio nacional

Effects of Anacetrapib in Patients with Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease

BACKGROUND: Patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease remain at high risk for cardiovascular events despite effective statin-based treatment of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. The inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) by anacetrapib reduces LDL cholesterol levels and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. However, trials of other CETP inhibitors have shown neutral or adverse effects on cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 30,449 adults with atherosclerotic vascular disease who were receiving intensive atorvastatin therapy and who had a mean LDL cholesterol level of 61 mg per deciliter (1.58 mmol per liter), a mean non-HDL cholesterol level of 92 mg per deciliter (2.38 mmol per liter), and a mean HDL cholesterol level of 40 mg per deciliter (1.03 mmol per liter). The patients were assigned to receive either 100 mg of anacetrapib once daily (15,225 patients) or matching placebo (15,224 patients). The primary outcome was the first major coronary event, a composite of coronary death, myocardial infarction, or coronary revascularization. RESULTS: During the median follow-up period of 4.1 years, the primary outcome occurred in significantly fewer patients in the anacetrapib group than in the placebo group (1640 of 15,225 patients [10.8%] vs. 1803 of 15,224 patients [11.8%]; rate ratio, 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.85 to 0.97; P=0.004). The relative difference in risk was similar across multiple prespecified subgroups. At the trial midpoint, the mean level of HDL cholesterol was higher by 43 mg per deciliter (1.12 mmol per liter) in the anacetrapib group than in the placebo group (a relative difference of 104%), and the mean level of non-HDL cholesterol was lower by 17 mg per deciliter (0.44 mmol per liter), a relative difference of -18%. There were no significant between-group differences in the risk of death, cancer, or other serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease who were receiving intensive statin therapy, the use of anacetrapib resulted in a lower incidence of major coronary events than the use of placebo.

Dimethyl fumarate in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) inhibits inflammasome-mediated inflammation and has been proposed as a treatment for patients hospitalised with COVID-19. This randomised, controlled, open-label platform trial (Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy [RECOVERY]), is assessing multiple treatments in patients hospitalised for COVID-19 (NCT04381936, ISRCTN50189673). In this assessment of DMF performed at 27 UK hospitals, adults were randomly allocated (1:1) to either usual standard of care alone or usual standard of care plus DMF. The primary outcome was clinical status on day 5 measured on a seven-point ordinal scale. Secondary outcomes were time to sustained improvement in clinical status, time to discharge, day 5 peripheral blood oxygenation, day 5 C-reactive protein, and improvement in day 10 clinical status. Between 2 March 2021 and 18 November 2021, 713 patients were enroled in the DMF evaluation, of whom 356 were randomly allocated to receive usual care plus DMF, and 357 to usual care alone. 95% of patients received corticosteroids as part of routine care. There was no evidence of a beneficial effect of DMF on clinical status at day 5 (common odds ratio of unfavourable outcome 1.12; 95% CI 0.86-1.47; p = 0.40). There was no significant effect of DMF on any secondary outcome

Multinomial Logistic Regression to Estimate and Predict the Job Opportunities for People with Disabilities in Chile

In Chile there is a growing interest from society in improving the access of people with disabilities to the labor market. However, applied research on this topic is not abundant. The purpose of this research is to estimate the job opportunities of people with disabilities in Chile. For this, the data from the second Chilean national disability study were used to make a Multinomial Logistic Regression Model that would help to predict the probability of certain variables that influence job opportunity. For the generated model, variables related to the additional income of people (subsidies or extra income), educational level attained, pursuit of studies, and the degree of disability itself were found. It was determined how some variables affect the employment opportunity, particularly, variables related to continuity and access to studies

Percepciones del profesorado de educación artística evaluando creatividad en artes visuales en estudiantes de sexto grado de primaria Valparaíso- Chile

This article aims to analyze the perceptions of sixth grade teachers from municipal educational institutions in the commune of Valparaíso (Chile) when applying the four criteria from divergent thinking to assess creativity (fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration) within the Visual Arts study program. The methodology responds to a mixed model integrating the qualitative and quantitative methods. The sample was made up of 33 teachers who conduct the Visual Arts subject. The results of the qualitative analysis show that the main difficulties to assess creativity are four: lack of sensory development in students, inadequate infrastructure, time to develop evaluation tools, the need for updating and specialization in the artistic field. The quantitative outcomes indicate that there are no significant differences in the evaluation of the four creativity criteria, nor in gender variables, specialization and years of classroom experience.Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las percepciones del profesorado de sexto grado de Educación Básica de Establecimientos Municipales de la Comuna de Valparaíso (Chile) en la aplicación de cuatro criterios para evaluar la creatividad desde el pensamiento divergente (fluidez, flexibilidad, originalidad y elaboración) del programa de estudios de Artes Visuales.
