Their level of sensitivity and environmental knowledge will play an important role in adequately facing future challenges. This article aims to measure the sustainability awareness of a sample of future graduates in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences in Spain. The literature supports that the sensitivity of these students can be estimated by using the Spanish adaptation of the SCQ-S. This allows for establishing the level of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour pertaining to sustainability in three dimensions: environmental, social and economic. The sample consisted of 170 students (58.8% males; 41.2% females) with a mean age of 20.5 years (±4.039). The overall Cronbach’s alpha showed a fairly good value (α = 0.836). The same was true for the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test values (KMO = 0.816) and Bartlett’s sphericity test (p < 0.001). The knowledge construct (4.56 ± 0.53) was the highest descriptive, followed by attitude (4.12 ± 0.59). The lowest value was behaviour (3.79 ± 0.66). By gender, girls obtained the highest sensitivity indexes. In addition, the place of habitual residence and physical activity in the natural environment were related to the overall behaviour of the university students. It is concluded that being in active contact with the natural environment allows us to have a higher level of awareness

Calidad de liderazgo en la formación inicial

The aim of the article is to identify the kind of leadership in first-year students in the Degree of Sport and Exercise Sciences, who will become leaders of human team-groups. The sample is constitute by 112 students; 76 (67.9 %) are men and 36 (32.1 %) are women. The spanish version of Cuestionario de Liderazgo Multifactorial was provided to them. The results show a greatest idealized influence (attribution) with the average of 2.86, while the Laissez Faire behavior got 1.29 which can be categorize as merely symbolic. It determines that the sample students use preferably the transformational model, closely followed by the transactional one. The later fact will have an effect on the human team-groups they could lead, answering then, to the rising organizational contexts that mainly demand actions-qualities-attributes to be present in this model.  El objetivo del artículo es identificar el estilo de liderazgo de los alumnos de primer curso de Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y Deporte, futuros líderes de grupos-equipos humanos. La muestra está formada por 112 alumnos, de los que 76 (67,9%) son hombres y 36 (32,1%) mujeres. Se administró la versión española del Cuestionario de Liderazgo Multifactorial. Los resultados muestran una mayor influencia idealizada (atribución) con una media de 2,86, mientras que la conducta Laissez Faire obtuvo unos valores casi testimoniales de 1,29 puntos.  Determinar que los alumnos de la muestra utilizan preferentemente el modelo transformacional, seguido muy de cerca por el transaccional. Este hecho repercutirá positivamente en los grupos-equipos humanos que puedan dirigir, respondiendo así, a los emergentes contextos organizativos que demandan principalmente acciones-cualidades-atributos presentes en dicho modelo

Satisfacción del usuario de turismo naútico en la actividad charter a vela y motor como propuesta alternativa

The aim of this work was to analyze the quality of nautical charter services in the Balearic Islands by means of a previously validated questionnaire that measures four measurement factors. We surveyed 185 users of different nationalities, ages and gender, users of different companies dedicated to the sector between July and August. The results showed that there were no significant differences by age groups for each of the factors, but that in general the most important was satisfaction. Likewise satisfaction and perceived value were directly related to future practice intentions.El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la calidad de los servicios chárter náuticos en las islas baleares mediante un cuestionario previamente validado que dimensiona cuatro factores de medición. Se encuestaron 185 usuarios de diferentes nacionalidades, edades y género, usuarios de distintas empresas dedicadas al sector entre los meses de Julio y Agosto. Los resultados mostraron que no había diferencias significativas por grupos de edad para cada uno de los factores pero que el que en términos globales el que más importancia mostraba era el de satisfacción. Del mismo modo la satisfacción y el valor percibido mostraban relación directa con las intenciones de práctica futuras

Entre ellas, la literatura establece la importancia de la psicología y las técnicas indicadoras de la experiencia adquirida en la disciplina. Este estudio pretende establecer la relación entre determinados constructos que definen el perfil psicológico del deportista con indicadores de habilidad en paracaidismo militar. Para ello, se encuestó a 42 saltadores de 40,86 años (±7,35) pertenecientes al ejército español y a la guardia civil durante la celebración del Campeonato Nacional Militar de paracaidismo que se celebra anualmente, para conocer su nivel de optimismo, resiliencia, bienestar psicológico y burnout. Se concluye que los años de experiencia en paracaidismo y el número de saltos, como indicadores de habilidad, deben ser tomados en cuenta con un mayor nivel de concreción y especificidad, ya que ciertas variables psicológicas pueden aumentar o disminuir dependiendo de ellas. Conviene estudiar cada caso en particular para comprender qué puede ocurrir en el estado del paracaidista y desarrollar estrategias para optimizar el rendimiento deportivo.Multiple variables must be considered when talking about sports performance. Among them, the literature estblishes the importance of psychology and indicator techniques of experience acquired in the discipline. This study aims to establish the relationship between certain constructs that define the psychological profile of the athlete with skill indicators in military parachuting. For this, 42 jumpers aged 40.86 years old (±7.35) belonging to the Spanish army and the civil guard during the celebration of the National Military Championship of Skydiving which is held annually surveyed to know their level of optimism, resilience, psychological well-being, and burnout. It is concluded that the years of skydiving experience and the number of jumps, as indicators of skill, must be taken into account with a higher level of concreteness and specificity since certain psychological variables can increase or decrease depending on them. It is convenient to study each case, in particular, to understand what can happen in the state of the parachutist and develop strategies for optimizing sports performance.Múltiplas variáveis devem ser consideradas quando se fala em desempenho desportivo. Eentre eles, a literatura estabelece a importância da psicologia e das técnicas indicadoras da experiência adquirida na disciplina. Este estudo visa estabelecer a relação entre determinados constructos que definem o perfil psicológico do atleta com indicadores de habilidade no paraquedismo militar. Para tal, foram inquiridos 42 saltadores com 40,86 anos (±7,35) pertencentes ao exército espanhol e à guarda civil durante a celebração do Campeonato Nacional Militar de paraquedismo que se realiza anualmente para conhecer o seu nível de optimismo, resiliência, bem-estar psicológico e esgotamento. Conclui-se que os anos de experiência em paraquedismo e o número de saltos, como indicadores de habilidade, devem ser levados em consideração com maior grau de especificidade, pois certas variáveis psicológicas podem aumentar ou diminuir. É conveniente estudar cada caso em articular para entender o que pode acontecer no estado do paraquedista e desenvolver estratégias para otimizar o desempenho esportivo

Trends and outcome of neoadjuvant treatment for rectal cancer: A retrospective analysis and critical assessment of a 10-year prospective national registry on behalf of the Spanish Rectal Cancer Project

Introduction: Preoperative treatment and adequate surgery increase local control in rectal cancer. However, modalities and indications for neoadjuvant treatment may be controversial. Aim of this study was to assess the trends of preoperative treatment and outcomes in patients with rectal cancer included in the Rectal Cancer Registry of the Spanish Associations of Surgeons. Method: This is a STROBE-compliant retrospective analysis of a prospective database. All patients operated on with curative intention included in the Rectal Cancer Registry were included. Analyses were performed to compare the use of neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment in three timeframes: I)2006–2009; II)2010–2013; III)2014–2017. Survival analyses were run for 3-year survival in timeframes I-II. Results: Out of 14, 391 patients, 8871 (61.6%) received neoadjuvant treatment. Long-course chemo/radiotherapy was the most used approach (79.9%), followed by short-course radiotherapy ± chemotherapy (7.6%). The use of neoadjuvant treatment for cancer of the upper third (15-11 cm) increased over time (31.5%vs 34.5%vs 38.6%, p = 0.0018). The complete regression rate slightly increased over time (15.6% vs 16% vs 18.5%; p = 0.0093); the proportion of patients with involved circumferential resection margins (CRM) went down from 8.2% to 7.3%and 5.5% (p = 0.0004). Neoadjuvant treatment significantly decreased positive CRM in lower third tumors (OR 0.71, 0.59–0.87, Cochrane-Mantel-Haenszel P = 0.0008). Most ypN0 patients also received adjuvant therapy. In MR-defined stage III patients, preoperative treatment was associated with significantly longer local-recurrence-free survival (p < 0.0001), and cancer-specific survival (p < 0.0001). The survival benefit was smaller in upper third cancers. Conclusion: There was an increasing trend and a potential overuse of neoadjuvant treatment in cancer of the upper rectum. Most ypN0 patients received postoperative treatment. Involvement of CRM in lower third tumors was reduced after neoadjuvant treatment. Stage III and MRcN + benefited the most

Cause of Death and Predictors of All-Cause Mortality in Anticoagulated Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation : Data From ROCKET AF

M. Kaste on työryhmän ROCKET AF Steering Comm jäsen.Background-Atrial fibrillation is associated with higher mortality. Identification of causes of death and contemporary risk factors for all-cause mortality may guide interventions. Methods and Results-In the Rivaroxaban Once Daily Oral Direct Factor Xa Inhibition Compared with Vitamin K Antagonism for Prevention of Stroke and Embolism Trial in Atrial Fibrillation (ROCKET AF) study, patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation were randomized to rivaroxaban or dose-adjusted warfarin. Cox proportional hazards regression with backward elimination identified factors at randomization that were independently associated with all-cause mortality in the 14 171 participants in the intention-to-treat population. The median age was 73 years, and the mean CHADS(2) score was 3.5. Over 1.9 years of median follow-up, 1214 (8.6%) patients died. Kaplan-Meier mortality rates were 4.2% at 1 year and 8.9% at 2 years. The majority of classified deaths (1081) were cardiovascular (72%), whereas only 6% were nonhemorrhagic stroke or systemic embolism. No significant difference in all-cause mortality was observed between the rivaroxaban and warfarin arms (P=0.15).

Perfil antropométrico y somatotipo de regatistas del equipo preolímpico español de vela

The aim of this study was to describe the anthropometric characteristics and somatotype of sailors from different classes, who were part of the Spanish Preolympic Sailing Team between the years 2006 and 2014. The study included 50 Spanish sailors from the Spanish Preolympic Sailing Team. The following data were recorded: weight, height, skin folds, circumferences of arm, thigh and calf, diameters of the humerus, femur and wrist. Regarding the fat percentage, the girls had around 16-20% and 10-18 % boys. The mean somatotype of the sailors was mesomorph, apart from the Laser Radial class that leaned to endomorphic values. The conclusion is that there is an ideal anthropometric and somatotype profile in each class of ship listing, and it also depends on the position occupied by the sailor on the ship, hence the sailors who come to this ideal are more likely to succeed.El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir las características antropométricas y somatotipo de los regatistas de diferentes clases, que formaron parte del Equipo Preolímpico Español de Vela entre los años 2006 y 2014. En el estudio participaron 50 regatistas del Equipo Preolímpico Español, se registraron los siguientes datos: peso, talla, pliegues cutáneos, perímetros de brazo, muslo y gemelo, diámetros del húmero, muñeca y fémur. Respecto al porcentaje graso, las chicas han estado alrededor de 16-20% y los chicos entre 10-18%. El somatotipo medio de los regatistas fue mesomorfo exceptuando la clase Laser Radial que se inclinó hacia valores endomórficos. La conclusión es que existe un perfil ideal antropométrico y de somatotipo, en cada clase de barco y también dependiendo de la posición que ocupe el regatista en el barco, por lo que los regatistas que se acerquen a ese ideal tendrán más posibilidades de éxito
