The totality of the sample is composed by 191 subjects separated in three groups. The tennis players group is composed by 64 federated subjects in Gran Canaria island, in which 43 are men and 21 are women; the single sportsmen group is composed by 63 subjects, 42 are men and 21 are women and the non-sports group is composed by 64 subjects, 41 are men and 23 are women, all of them between 14 and 25 years old. The 16 PF-5 was the questionnaire used and the variance analysis shows three meaningful differences: the opening-change, tough-mindedness and impression management scales. In the same way, it is noticed meaningful differences in sex variable

Propiedades psicométricas de la versión espanola de la escala de motivación deportiva

This study aimed to analyse the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the échelle de Motivation dans les Sports (EMS). The sample was made up of 496 athletes: 314 men and 182 women. The confirmatory factorial nalysis confirmed the scales seven-factor structure with method effects, the construct validity was supported by the correlations among the subscales. Furthermore, the results showed satisfactory levels of internal consistency and significant differences between genders were obtained in the end. These results support the use of the Spanish version of the SMS in assessing motivation within the context of sport

Rendimiento académico en música: efecto de la motivación intrínseca y el pensamiento crítico

The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between intrinsic motivation, critical thinking and academic performance in music of secondary students. 494 students participated. Data were analyzed using structural equation mixture modeling. The results showed two groups or clusters of students, distinguished by their scores on intrinsic motivation, critical thinking and music grades, where a group was characterized by high and the other low scores on the three variables. Regarding the relationships between variables, we observed that the effect of intrinsic motivation on critical thinking was similar in both groups, but the regression of critical thinking on music grades was higher for students with lower scores. This study provides a better understanding of the different profiles and the effect of the variables in explaining music grades. ; El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la relación entre la motivación intrínseca, el pensamiento crítico y el rendimiento académico en la asignatura de Música de estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Participaron 494 estudiantes. Los datos se analizaron utilizando un modelo mixto de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados mostraron dos grupos o clústeres de estudiantes, diferenciados por sus puntuaciones en motivación intrínseca, pensamiento crítico y calificación en Música, donde un grupo se caracterizó por altas y el otro por bajas puntuaciones en las tres variables. Respecto a las relaciones entre las variables, se observó que el efecto de la motivación intrínseca sobre el pensamiento crítico era similar en ambos grupos, pero la regresión del pensamiento crítico sobre la calificación en Música fue mayor en el grupo de estudiantes con puntuaciones más bajas. Este estudio ofrece una mejor comprensión de los diferentes perfiles y del efecto de las variables para explicar las calificaciones en Música.

Validación de la versión espanola de la escala multidimensional de orientaciones a la deportividad

The aim of this study was to translate into Spanish and validate the Multidimensional Sportspersonship Orientations Scale (MSOS), which was developed in English and validated by Vallerand et al. (1997). The MSOS consistsof five subscales that measure full commitment toward sport, respect for social conventions, respect and concern for rules and officials, respect and concern for opponents, and negative approach towards sportspersonship. The Spanish version of the scale showed acceptable levels of internal consistency and temporal stability over a four-week period. The results of a confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the five-factor structure of the MSOS. Correlations among the subscales confirmed the scales construct validity. Finally, gender differences were obtained. These findings support the use of the Spanish version of the MSOS for assessing individual differences in sportspersonship orientations

Technological and infrastructure collaborative seismic research in Western Mexico

In February and March 2014, Spanish, Mexican and British scientists and technicians explored the western margin of Mexico, a region with a high occurrence of large earthquakes (> Mw = 7.5) and tsunami generation, on board the British Royal Research Ship James Cook. This successful joint cruise, named TSUJAL, was made possible thanks to a cooperative agreement between NERC and CSIC as part of the Ocean Facilities Exchange Group (OFEG), a major forum of European oceanographic institutions for the exchange of ship time, equipment and personnel. A dense geophysical data set was acquired using for the first time 6 km length seismic streamer facilities from Spain’s Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC), usually operating in the Spanish RV Sarmiento de Gamboa, onboard the British RRS James Cook by solving all mechanical, electrical and electronic problems. The RRS James Cook in turn provides the seismic source and the acoustic, hullmounted echosounder operated by the British Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Multiscale seismic and echosounder images unravel the subduction geometry, nature of the crust, and evidence faults and mass wasting processes. The data are crucial to estimating fault seismic parameters, and these parameters are critical to carrying out seismic hazard in Mexico, especially when considering largemagnitude earthquakes (Mw 8.0), and to constrain tsunami models.Peer Reviewe

Validación española de la Escala de Agencia Personal y Empoderamiento (ESAGE-Sp-19)

Personal agency and empowerment are keys to change and social promotion, measuring them is essential for intervening with people at risk of social exclusion. The aim of this study is to develop a Spanish-short and adapted version of the Personal Agency and Empowerment Questionnaire (ESAGE) and analyze its psychometric properties. Participants were 599 university students (age, M = 24.89, SD = 6.69; 63.43% women). The model’s structure was tested through exploratory and confirmatory factorial approaches. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed an optimal fit for the model with a second-order factor (Personal Agency) and three first-order factors (Self-confidence, Internal Control, and Empowerment). Cronbach’s alpha values were acceptable. Stepwise multiple regression provided evidence of predictive validity, and exploratory factor analysis using the ESAGE-Sp-19 and ISP-20 scales revealed a clear and interpretable unifactorial solution. The ESAGE-Sp-19 proved to be reliable and valid in the Spanish adult population.La agencia personal y el empoderamiento son claves para el cambio y la promoción social. El objetivo de este estudio es desarrollar una versión corta y adaptada al español de la Escala de Agencia Personal y Empoderamiento (ESAGE) y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas. Los participantes fueron 599 estudiantes universitarios (edad, M = 24.89, DT = 6.69; 63.43% mujeres). La estructura delmodelo se probó a través de enfoques factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) mostró un ajuste óptimo para el modelo con un Factor de segundo orden (Agencia Personal) y tres Factores de primer orden (Autoconfianza, Control Interno y Empoderamiento). Los valores alfa de Cronbach fueron aceptables. La regresión múltiple por pasos proporcionó evidencias de validez predictiva y el análisis factorial exploratorio utilizando las escalas de la ESAGE-Sp-19 y de ISP-20 reveló una solución unifactorial clara e interpretable. La ESAGE-Sp-19 se mostró fiable y válida en la población adulta española

Toenail zinc as a biomarker: Relationship with sources of environmental exposure and with genetic variability in MCC-Spain study

Background: Toenails are commonly used as biomarkers of exposure to zinc (Zn), but there is scarce information about their relationship with sources of exposure to Zn. Objectives: To investigate the main determinants of toenail Zn, including selected sources of environmental exposure to Zn and individual genetic variability in Zn metabolism. Methods: We determined toenail Zn by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in 3,448 general popu-lation controls from the MultiCase-Control study MCC-Spain. We assessed dietary and supplement Zn intake using food frequency questionnaires, residential proximity to Zn-emitting industries and residential topsoil Zn levels through interpolation methods. We constructed a polygenic score of genetic variability based on 81 single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in Zn metabolism. Geometric mean ratios of toenail Zn across categories of each determinant were estimated from multivariate linear regression models on log-transformed toenail Zn. Results: Geometric mean toenail Zn was 104.1 mu g/g in men and 100.3 mu g/g in women. Geometric mean toenail Zn levels were 7 % lower (95 % confidence interval 1-13 %) in men older than 69 years and those in the upper tertile of fibre intake, and 9 % higher (3-16 %) in smoking men. Women residing within 3 km from Zn-emitting industries had 4 % higher geometric mean toenail Zn levels (0-9 %). Dietary Zn intake and polygenic score were unrelated to toenail Zn. Overall, the available determinants only explained 9.3 % of toenail Zn variability in men and 4.8 % in women. Discussion: Sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, diet, and environmental exposure explained little of the indi-vidual variability of toenail Zn in the study population. The available genetic variants related to Zn metabolism were not associated with toenail Zn

COVID-19 Severity and Survival over Time in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies: A Population-Based Registry Study

Mortality rates for COVID-19 have declined over time in the general population, but data in patients with hematologic malignancies are contradictory. We identified independent prognostic factors for COVID-19 severity and survival in unvaccinated patients with hematologic malignancies, compared mortality rates over time and versus non-cancer inpatients, and investigated post COVID-19 condition. Data were analyzed from 1166 consecutive, eligible patients with hematologic malignancies from the population-based HEMATO-MADRID registry, Spain, with COVID-19 prior to vaccination roll-out, stratified into early (February–June 2020; n = 769 (66%)) and later (July 2020–February 2021; n = 397 (34%)) cohorts. Propensity-score matched non-cancer patients were identified from the SEMI-COVID registry. A lower proportion of patients were hospitalized in the later waves (54.2%) compared to the earlier (88.6%), OR 0.15, 95%CI 0.11–0.20. The proportion of hospitalized patients admitted to the ICU was higher in the later cohort (103/215, 47.9%) compared with the early cohort (170/681, 25.0%, 2.77; 2.01–3.82). The reduced 30-day mortality between early and later cohorts of non-cancer inpatients (29.6% vs. 12.6%, OR 0.34; 0.22–0.53) was not paralleled in inpatients with hematologic malignancies (32.3% vs. 34.8%, OR 1.12; 0.81–1.5). Among evaluable patients, 27.3% had post COVID-19 condition. These findings will help inform evidence-based preventive and therapeutic strategies for patients with hematologic malignancies and COVID-19 diagnosis.Depto. de MedicinaFac. de MedicinaTRUEFundación Madrileña de Hematología y HemoterapiaFundación Leucemia y LinfomaAsociación Madrileña de Hematología y Hemoterapiapu
