A Poszttraumás Növekedésérzés Kérdőív pszichometriai mutatói hazai mintán = Psychometric characteristics of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory in a Hungarian sample

Tanulmányunkban bemutatjuk a Poszttraumás Növekedésérzés Kérdőív hazai adaptációját. A Tedeschi és Calhoun által publikált kérdőív egy olyan mérőeszköz, amely a veszteségekkel járó, súlyosan stresszkeltő életeseményekkel való megküzdésből fakadó pozitív változások azonosítására szolgál. Az eredeti kérdőív öt faktort mér: az élet fokozott értékelése, jelentéstelibb interperszonális kapcsolatok megélése, a személyes erő érzetének fokozódása, új lehetőségek felfedezése, spirituális élményekkel való gazdagodás. A kérdőív érvényességét és megbízhatóságát egy 328 fős kényelmi mintán ellenőriztük. A validitásvizsgálathoz a Pszichológiai Immunkompetencia Kérdőívet, a Társas Támogatás Kérdőívet, a Sielberger-féle Vonásszorongás Kérdőívet, a Rövidített Beck Depresszió Kérdőívet, a Tíz Tételes Személyiség Kérdőívet és a Rövidített Aspirációs Indexet alkalmaztuk. A Poszttraumás Növekedésérzés Kérdőív belső konzisztenciája jónak bizonyult (Cronbach-alfa = 0,94), és a kérdőív teszt-reteszt megbízhatósága (r = 0,90; p<0,01) is kiváló. Az érvényességi vizsgálathoz használt mérőeszközökkel a kérdőív az elvárásoknak megfelelő irányú, gyenge és közepes erősségű kapcsolatot mutatott, amit a divergens validitás bizonyítékaként fogadtunk el. A Poszttraumás Növekedésérzés Kérdőíven végzett megerősítő faktorelemzés azonban nem erősítette meg az eredeti faktorstruktúrát. A kérdőív a pszichometriai mutatók alapján, és a külföldi adatokkal összhangban, érvényes és megbízható mérőeszköznek bizonyult. A mért változó független konstruktumnak tekinthető, amely alkalmas a traumát átélt személyek fejlődésének mérésére. | Results of the Hungarian adaptation of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory are presented in this article. The questionnaire published by Tedeschi and Calhoun was designed to measure positive changes coming from the struggle with losses and other stressful life events. The original scale includes 5 factors: Appreciation of Life, Relating to Others, Personal Strength, New Possibilities, Spiritual Change. The validity and reliability of the scale was tested on a sample of 328 participants. The following questionnaires were used for the present validation: Psychological Immune Competence Inventory, Social Support Dimension Scale, Spielberger-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Shortened Beck Depression Inventory, Ten Item Personality Inventory and Shortened Aspiration Index. The internal consistency of the PTGI was high (Cronbach-alfa = 0.94), test-retest reliability (r = 0.90; p<0.01) was also excellent. Results indicate that PTGI has weak and medium size correlations with the used measures as predicted. This can be accepted as evidence for the divergent validity of the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis has failed to confirm the original five factor structure reported by Tedeschi and Calhoun. Considering these results and also those reported in other studies with the scale, the Hungarian adaptation proved to be a valid and reliable measure. The measured variable is regarded as an independent construct being appropriate for assessing positive changes after negative life experiences

Prácticas de manejo, procesamiento e implementación de BPM en planta piloto de elaboración de quesos de la FCAyF

Se realizaron, durante 6 meses, actividades en la planta piloto del Curso de Agroindustrias percibiendo necesidades y aspectos a mejorar del lugar de trabajo. De este modo se encontró la necesidad de contar con un Manual de Procedimiento y Buenas Prácticas de Manufactura (BPM) en el lugar, para que cualquier persona que desee trabajar allí ya sea en el marco de una pasantía, una práctica profesional o una tarea de investigación pueda tener un material de fácil lectura disponible. Es así que el objetivo de este trabajo fue la redacción de un manual de prácticas de manejo, procesamiento e implementación de BPM en planta piloto de elaboración de quesos de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales (FCAyF). Para eso, se realizaron distintas elaboraciones de quesos con la ayuda del integrante de la catedra que cumple funciones no docentes que posibilitaron el aprendizaje sobre los equipos necesarios, el material requerido, la limpieza y mantenimiento de cada equipo y de la sala de elaboración. Además, otra de las propuestas fue poner a punto los protocolos de elaboración de un queso cremoso, semi-duro, duro y un queso fresco obtenido de un subproducto de la industria quesera como es la ricota. En conclusión, el propósito de este manual es el de contar con una herramienta para trabajar de forma adecuada y segura en la planta piloto, teniendo en cuenta los recaudos y la limpieza en cada etapa del proceso de elaboración de un queso.Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestale

An investigation of credit usage among young married couples in western Oregon

This study was designed (1) to examine credit usages as they relate to financial problems of young married couples, (2) to investigate the similarities of financial practices of two populations, (3) to determine the sources of educational financial assistance and guidance used by young couples, and (4) to compare demographic characteristics of one sample known to have had financial difficulties and one group whose financial position was unknown at the time of the interview. The sample consisted of 30 young married couples who were being professionally counseled because of financial problems (group one) and 30 couples selected from a mailing list supplied by the Marion County Extension Service (group two). The total sample was drawn from the Salem, Oregon area. The couples were married at least one year and not more than five years, 11 months and the husbands were no more than 30 years of age. Data for the study were obtained through personal interviews. Hollingshead's Two Factor Index of Social Position, based on education and occupation of the head of household was used to classify the subjects into five social positions, by groups. The distributions for both groups were skewed heavily toward the lower social levels on the scale. The four null hypotheses that were set forth to assist in the organization of data were rejected. H₁ Young married couples in group one wit; show no differences in financial practices from those in group two. H₂ Married couples in group one will possess records with detail no greater than that in records possessed by group two. H₃ Formal educational training will not vary between group one and group two. H₄ Financial counseling sought by young couples will not differ between group one and group two. Analysis of the data indicated that couples in the uncounseled group kept records in a more readily accessable manner; they kept them in ledger or check stub form; and a larger percentage of group two kept track of how they spent their money. A higher number of husbands in group one took complete charge of financial management than the husbands in group two. There were inconsistencies in the responses of the wives in group one. Eighty-seven per cent of the respondents stated that they and their husbands combined their money. However, responses by 40 per cent of the wives in group one indicated that their husbands paid the bills and handled the finances. Couples in both groups used a variety of credit sources. Couples in group one held more credit cards, had a larger number of open charge accounts, more loans from banks and consumer finance companies, as well as a larger number of hospital, doctor and dentists bills than did the couples in group two. Department store and oil company credit cards were the two categories most frequently listed when respondents were asked about credit cards held. Both banks and consumer finance companies loaned to couples in group one, however, the consumer finance company had a higher incidence of repeat loans issued to these young couples than did banks. Ninety per cent of the young couples in the counseled group responded that they were being counseled and looked to the professional counselor for guidance in personal finance. The uncounseled group turned to parents most frequently as sources of information and guidance. Wives in group one perceived themselves as poorer users of credit or just equal when comparing themselves to their peers. It was apparent from this study that young couples feel inadquately prepared for the responsibilities faced in money management during the early years of marriage. With an affluent credit society predicted by many for the future, young people will need to use their total resources of time, energy and income in order to maintain financial solvency. Educators, both adult and secondary along with parents and all others interested in the welfare of families will need to be innovative in communicating sound personal finance principles

Identificación electrónica para la gestión de rodeos de cría de la provincia de Corrientes

La producción ganadera del centro sur de la provincia de Corrientes se caracteriza por ser extensiva mixta (bovina y ovina) y con énfasis en la cría. (Sampedro 2018). En general, son empresas familiares con superficies productivas que rondan las 1500 a 2000 ha, en donde el propietario es quien administra, con la colaboración del personal de campo (2 a 3). Una de las problemáticas del sector es la escasa información productiva de los rodeos, son sistemas extensivos y, en general, el productor es reticente a llevar registros, básicamente por la dificultad en la toma de los datos. Con escasa información de los rodeos, se dificulta tener diagnósticos certeros o incluso se desconocen indicadores básicos de producción. La falta de diagnóstico claro es lo que limita la planificación y la toma de decisiones que llevan a los sistemas a ser más eficientes.EEA MercedesFil: Rivero, Luis Domingo.

Weak Interactions of the Isomers of Phototrexate and Two Cavitand Derivatives

The interactions of two conformers of newly synthesized photoswitchable azobenzene analogue of methotrexate, called Phototrexate, with two cavitand derivatives, have been investigated in dimethyl sulfoxide medium. Photoluminescence methods have been applied to determine the complex stabilities and the related enthalpy and entropy changes associated to the complex formation around room temperature. Results show opposite temperature dependence of complex stabilities. The structure of the upper rims of the host molecules and the reordered solvent structure were identified as the background of the opposite tendencies of temperature dependence at molecular level. These results can support the therapeutic application of the photoswitchable phototrexate, because the formation of inclusion complexes is a promising method to regulate the pharmacokinetics of drug molecules

New data on the acanthocephalan <i>Neoechinorhynchus villоldoi</i> Vizcaíno, 1992 (Neoechinorhynchidae: Acanthocephala), based on specimens found in <i>Austrolebias bellottii</i> (Steindachner, 1881) (Rivulidae: Cyprinodontiformes) from Punta Indio, Argentina

In a survey of parasites on the killifish, Austrolebias bellottii from Punta Indio and Magdalena, Argentina, the acanthocephalan Neoechinorhynchus villoldoi was found. This parasite had not been recorded since 1992 when it was described for the first time parasitizing Corydoras paleatus (Jenyns, 1842). The type material of N. villoldoi was examined, and with addition of the new specimens, the measurements range was extended. This is the first record of an acanthocephalan in the annual fish, A. bellottii.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse
