Multivariate logistic regression in the entire population (n = 129).

<p>*Wald test. Risk factors associated with AR in the univariate analysis (p<0.2) are included in the multivariate analysis. Automatic backward stepwise procedure was used for model selection (Model 1). Due to the correlation between food allergy and peanut sensitization, one of these variables is removed from the selected model (Model 2 and Model 3). Boldface values indicate statistical significance.</p><p>Food allergy was defined by clinical symptoms of allergy after consumption of a food allergen and a positivity of specific IgE for the same allergen. Moderate to severe asthma was determined according to the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0097236#pone.0097236-NAEPP1" target="_blank">[20]</a>.

Importance measure (permutation-based mean decrease accuracy) provided by the random forest analysis.

<p>The values are not interpretable but the ranking is of interest since a high value of the importance measure is associated with a high predictive power. Sensitization is defined by specific IgE to one or more allergens ≥0.35 kUI/L. Multiple sensitizations were defined as at least two positive specific IgEs to allergens. Serum total IgE level expressed in kU/L, blood eosinophilia expressed in eosinophils/mm³</p

Resumen tomado de la publicaciónSe presenta una investigación sobre la utilización de dispositivos móviles de apoyo a la interpretación instrumental del alumnado de música de Educación Secundaria. El principal objetivo de esta investigación radica en analizar la eficacia de la utilización del teléfono móvil con microcontenidos para mejorar el rendimiento interpretativo de los alumnos.A través de la grabación en vídeo de los alumnos participantes y del diseño de partituras de control se ha logrado hacer un seguimiento minucioso de la interpretación instrumental, lo que ha permitido contar con datos valiosos del impacto del uso de las tecnologías móviles en este ámbito musical.Las conclusiones de este artículo demuestran que los alumnos que utilizan dispositivos móviles con microcontenidos cometen menos errores en la concatenación de dichos micro-contenidos que aquellos que no los utilizan, consiguiendo una mayor musicalidad. Igualmente, se pone en evidencia que dichos alumnos cometen menos errores puntuales de nota, lo que demuestra un mayor domino con el instrumento.ES
