Validación de la versión española del Cuestionario Breve de Evitación Experiencial (BEAQ) en población clínica

The Brief Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire (BEAQ) has been suggested as the most appropriate instrument for measuring experiential avoidance. However, no Spanish validation has been published. The aim of this study was to validate a Spanish version of the BEAQ in a clinical sample treated at a community mental health unit. Methods: Participants (N = 332) completed the BEAQ as well as other self-report measures of experiential avoidance and psychopathology. Results: Internal consistency was satisfactory (α = .82). No statistically significant gender differences were found in the BEAQ scores. The data also showed high test-retest reliability after four to six weeks, acceptable concurrent validity with another experiential avoidance measure and acceptable convergent validity with the psychopathology measure. The principal component analysis, forcing the one factor solution proposed in the original scale, produced indicators similar to the English version of the BEAQ. Conclusions: These results firmly support the reliability and validity of this Spanish validation, stressing its usefulness as a measure of experiential avoidance in clinical populations.Antecedentes: el Cuestionario Breve de Evitación Experiencial (BEAQ) ha sido propuesto como el instrumento más adecuado para medir la evitación experiencial. Sin embargo, todavía no ha sido publicada ninguna validación en español. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente estudio ha sido la validación de una versión española del BEAQ, en una muestra clínica atendida en un Centro de Salud Mental Comunitario. Método: los participantes (N = 332) completaron el BEAQ, así como otras medidas de autoinforme de evitación experiencial y psicopatología. Resultados: la consistencia interna fue satisfactoria (α = .82). No se encontraron diferencias de género estadísticamente significativas en las puntuaciones del BEAQ. Los datos también mostraron una alta fiabilidad test-retest en un intervalo de cuatro a seis semanas, validez concurrente aceptable con otra medida de evitación experiencial y validez convergente aceptable con la medida de psicopatología. El análisis de componentes principales forzando a la solución de un factor, como se propuso en la escala original, obtuvo unos indicadores similares a los obtenidos en dicha versión inglesa. Conclusiones: los resultados confirman la adecuada fiabilidad y validez de la presente versión española del BEAQ, destacando su utilidad como medida de la evitación experiencial en población clínica

A new thin layer model for viscous flow between two nearby non-static surfaces

We propose a two-dimensional flow model of a viscous fluid between two close moving surfaces. We show, using a formal asymptotic expansion of the solution, that its asymptotic behavior, when the distance between the two surfaces tends to zero, is the same as that of the the Navier-Stokes equations. The leading term of the formal asymptotic expansions of the solutions to the new model and Navier-Stokes equations are solution of the same limit problem, and the type of the limit problem depends on the boundary conditions. If slip velocity boundary conditions are imposed on the upper and lower bound surfaces, the limit is a solution of a lubrication model, but if the tractions and friction forces are known on both bound surfaces, the limit is a solution of a thin fluid layer model. The model proposed has been obtained to be a valuable tool for computing viscous fluid flow between two nearby moving surfaces, without the need to decide a priori whether the flow is typical of a lubrication or a thin fluid layer problem, and without the enormous computational effort that would be required to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in such a thin domain.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2203.0869

Time-averaged shallow water model: asymptotic derivation and numerical validation

The objective of this paper is to derive, from the Navier-Stokes equations in a shallow domain,a new bidimensional shallow water model able to filter the high frequency oscillations that are produced, when the Reynolds number is increased, in turbulent ows. With this aim, the non- dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are time-averaged, and then asymptotic analysis techniques have been used as in our previous works. The small non-dimensional parameter considered, "e", is the quotient between the typical depth of the basin and the typical horizontal length of the domain; and it is studied what happens when "e" becomes small. Once the new model has been justified, by the method of asymptotic expansions, we perform some numerical experiments. The results of these experiments con rm that this new model is able to approximate analytical solutions of Navier-Stokes equations with more accuracy than classical shallow water models, when high frequency oscillations appear. To reach a given accuracy, the time step for the new model can be much larger (even four hundred times larger) than the time step required for the classical models

Un modelo de aguas someras con dependencia explícita de la profundidad

En este trabajo estudiamos las ecuaciones bidimensionales de Eurler en un dominio con poca profundidad. Con este propósito, se introduce un pequeño parámetro adimensional ε relacionado con la profundidad y se aplica la técnica de los desarrollos asintóticos para estudiar lo que sucede cuando ε se hace pequeño. Se obtiene un modelo para ε pequeño que, tras deshacer el cambio de variable, en el dominio original, proporciona un modelo de aguas someras que incluye los efectos de un fondo no constante y cuya velocidad horizontal depende de z a través de la vorticidad (cuando ´esta no es nula). Esta dependencia hacen que el modelo obtenido sea novedoso respecto a los modelos de aguas someras que pueden encontrarse actualmente en la literatura. Además, este modelo se obtiene sin necesidad de imponer hipótesis a priori sobre la velocidad o la presión. El nuevo modelo es capaz de aproximar las soluciones de las ecuaciones de Euler con dependencia en z (reobteniendo el mismo perfil de velocidades), mientras que el modelo clásico únicamente calcula la velocidad media en la vertical.Ministerio de Educación y Cienci

Evaluación de la calidad de la carne de vacuno mediante parámetros fisicoquímicos, sensoriales y proteómicos

La carne de vacuno es una de las principales fuentes de proteínas en la dieta humana. Sin embargo, su calidad puede verse afectada por factores intrínsecos y extrínsecos. Este trabajo aborda la influencia de ambos factores en la calidad cárnica desde un enfoque fisicoquímico, sensorial y proteómico. Los resultados indican que el tipo de alimentación y la raza fueron las variables con mayor efecto en los atributos cárnicos y las carnes producidas en pasto las más saludables y de mayor palatabilidad. La estimación por primera vez de distancias proteómicas cuantitativas sugiere que este tipo de distancias puede ser una herramienta valiosa para evaluar la divergencia del genoma funcional y la identificación de marcadores proteicos en las poblaciones

Numerical Behaviour of a New LES Model with Nonlinear Viscosity

Preprint submitted to Elsevier[Abstract] The objective of this paper is to present a new Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model obtained by filtering a generalized version of the Navier–Stokes equations with nonlinear viscosity. This new model is a generalization of the model introduced in Rodríguez and Taboada-Vázquez (2017). The new LES model, in which viscosity has been substituted by a nonlinear function of the strain rate tensor, has been implemented and validated using FreeFem++ codes. The numerical predictions have been compared with analytical solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations and it was found that the present model provides a more accurate approximation of the exact solution than that obtained by Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the Navier–Stokes equations, even using a coarser mesh. The model has also been validated by studying the unsteady flow over a backward-facing step. In this case, our numerical predictions have been compared with the experimental measurements reported by Armaly et al. (1983) and the numerical results obtained by Chacón and Lewandowski (2014). The new model performs satisfactorily in predicting these flows too.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; MTM2016-78718-

Asymptotic Analysis of a Thin Fluid Layer Flow Between Two Moving Surfaces

Financiado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade da Coruña/CISUG[Abstract] In this paper we study the behavior of an incompressible viscous fluid moving between two very close surfaces also in motion. Using the asymptotic expansion method we formally justify two models, a lubrication model and a shallow water model, depending on the boundary conditions imposed. Finally, we discuss under what conditions each of the models would be applicable.This work has been partially supported by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain, under grant MTM2016-78718-P with the participation of FEDER, and the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No 823731 CONMECH.

Social media and eating disorder psychopathology: a systematic review

The relationship between socialization through social media (SM) and eating disorders (EDs) is a serious problem for public health, largely affecting the mental health of younger people. This work aimed to identify scientific works addressing ED psychopathologies, studying their relationship with SM usage. In this systematic review, we analyze the available scientific evidence, thereby providing tools for intervention, prevention, and treatment. A systematic review and PRISMA analysis of narrative syntheses was carried out. Works were selected from the databases of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and PsycINFO. Out of a total of 257 references, 19 articles were identified and selected; among them, correlational studies predominated. A growing interest in the subject matter was identified, as it is undergoing constant changes. The investigations found that EDs and SM usage are influenced by the time spent on SM, the type of interactions, and shared photographs, as well as gender and sociocultural context
