Factors associated with Facebook jealousy in three Spanish-Speaking countries
Nowadays, control over one's partner is easily maintained through social networks, such as Facebook. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors associated with Facebook-jealousy. We examined a total sample of 1144 individuals distributed as follows: data from Spain (n = 393), Colombia (n = 600), and Ecuador (n = 151 individuals), with ages ranging from 14 to 42 years old. All participants held nationality from one of the respective countries, were currently or had been enrolled in a relationship, and both the participant and his/her/their partner also had a Facebook account. Participants completed an online survey with self-reported measures to evaluate: self-esteem, partner conflicts and their strategies to cope with them, romantic jealousy, and Facebook jealousy. Results show that the propensity to experience jealousy in the relationship and low self-esteem are related with more Facebook jealousy across the three countries. For both, Spain and Colombia, strategies to cope with partner conflicts are also associated with Facebook jealousy, in particular lower levels of constructive strategies and higher dominance are associated with greater Facebook jealousy. In short, Facebook jealousy represents another way to manifest jealousy that is influenced by both personal and relationship variables
Revisión Sistemática Sobre La Satisfacción Sexual En Parejas Del Mismo Sexo
he main objective of the present theoretical study was to analyze the relation of sexual satisfaction with variables associated with it in adults with same-sex partners. A systematic review of published research that met the following inclusion criteria was carried out: (a) evaluated sexual satisfaction through standardized self-reports or ad hoc questions, (b) included samples of adults who maintained a samesex relationship, and (c) related sexual satisfaction with personal, interpersonal, social or ideological-cultural variables. After a bibliographic search through various electronic databases, and once a selection process has been carried out, the main results of 40 scientific articles published between 1992 and 2017 are presented. As a most relevant result it should be noted that sexual satisfaction was associated with variables of each of the dimensions indicated. More associations are revealed with personal and interpersonal variables, and to a lesser extent with social and cultural variables. The importance of future research on sexual satisfaction in people with same-sex couple from the perspective of consolidated theoretical models is discussed, as well as the need for psychometric studies in the LGBTI population
Ratings of Sexual Arousal and Ratings of Genital Sensations: Psychometric properties in Spanish sample
Objective
Subjective sexual arousal is the psychological perception of arousal. The Multiple Indicators of Subjective Sexual Arousal (MISSA) is one of the limited self-reported measures to evaluate it in a specific situation. The aim is to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of two scales from the MISSA: Ratings of Sexual Arousal (RSA) and Ratings of Genital Sensations (RGS) in a Spanish sample.
Material and method
The measures were administered to two independent samples composed by heterosexual young individuals aged from 18 to 30 years old. In the first sample (n = 122) the factorial structure of the RSA was examined, which was later confirmed in a second sample (n = 336) where invariance analysis by sex and validity evidences were also analyzed. Both, the RSA and the RGS, together with other scales measuring similar constructs, were answered by participants from both studies (N = 458) in a laboratory setting in which individuals were exposed to films with neutral content and explicit sexual content.
Results
The Spanish version of the RSA shows a unidimensional structure with adequate reliability (α = .90). This structure showed to be invariant by sex, thus no significant differences were found between men and women. Scores from both, the RSA and the RGS correlated with higher predisposition to get excited and erotophilia.
Conclusions
The RSA and RGS are reliable and valid measures to evaluate subjective sexual arousal towards sexual stimuli. Therefore, their use is suitable for both clinical and research areas.Objetivo
La excitación sexual subjetiva es la percepción de excitación a nivel psicológico, siendo el Multiple Indicators of Subjective Sexual Arousal (MISSA) uno de los escasos instrumentos para evaluarla de manera situacional. El objetivo es adaptar a población española y examinar las propiedades psicométricas de dos de las escalas del MISSA: Valoración de Excitación Sexual (VES) y Valoración de Sensaciones Genitales (VSG).
Material y método
Se emplearon dos muestras independientes formadas por jóvenes heterosexuales de 18-30 años de edad. En la primera muestra (n = 122) se examinó la estructura factorial de la escala VES, la cual se puso a prueba en una segunda muestra (n = 336) en la que se examinó la invarianza por sexo. Además, en esta segunda muestra se buscaron evidencias de validez de ambas escalas. Los participantes de ambos estudios (N = 458) contestaron las escalas VES y VSG en una situación experimental de laboratorio en la que eran expuestos a films de contenido neutro y contenido sexual explícito.
Resultados
La versión española de la escala VES presenta una estructura unidimensional con una adecuada fiabilidad de consistencia interna (α = 0,90). Dicha estructura es invariante en cuanto al sexo, no encontrándose diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Tanto las puntuaciones de la escala VES como de la VSG correlacionaron con la predisposición a excitarse y con la erotofilia.
Conclusiones
Las escalas VES y VSG son fiables y válidas para evaluar la excitación sexual subjetiva ante estímulos sexuales, constituyendo instrumentos adecuados para su uso, tanto en el ámbito clínico como en el de la investigación

contribuyen al sector de economía de los servicios
sociales, alcanzar un equilibrio entre dos aspectos
íntimamente relacionados como lo son la salud y el
servicio a la comunidad. Este artículo tuvo como
objetivo describir la responsabilidad social corporativa,
el engagement y la satisfacción con la vida en una
muestra de 57 colaboradores de una ONG colombiana.
Los participantes completaron el Maslach Burnout
Inventory, la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida y la
Encuesta de Adicción al Trabajo. Los resultaron
arrojaron que el engagement en el trabajo, está
directamente relacionado con actitudes positivas hacia
las tareas laborales y en la satisfacción de vida.Mental health is one of the main areas of interest within the framework of social welfare and the organizational
context. In this sense, it has become a challenge for non-governmental organizations that contribute to the
social services economy sector, striking a balance between two closely related aspects such as health and
community service. This article aimed to describe corporate social responsibility, engagement and
satisfaction with life in a sample of 57 employees of a Colombian NGO. Participants filled the Maslach Burnout
Inventory, Life Satisfaction Scale and Work Addiction Survey. The results showed that engagement at work is
directly related to positive attitudes towards work tasks and the satisfaction with life

Satisfaction with life and its relations with religion and health in Colombian university students
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo estimar las
correlaciones entre la satisfacción con la vida, la religión
y la salud en una muestra de 446 participantes
(42,60% varones y el 57,40% mujeres), con edades
comprendidas entre los 18 a 69 años. Adicionalmente
se llevó a cabo un análisis de regresión múltiple por
pasos con el fin de conocer las variables predictoras de
la satisfacción con la vida. Todos los participantes
completaron los siguientes instrumentos: Cuestionario
sociodemográfico, Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida,
Cuestionario de Salud SF-36 y Escala de Religiosidad. A
partir de los resultados se comprobó que la satisfacción
con la vida no se asocia con la religión profesada. Mayor
satisfacción con la vida fue predicha por mayor práctica
religiosa organizacional, mejor salud general, mejor
salud mental y mejor rol emocional. En definitiva, el
nivel de satisfacción con la vida no parece estar
relacionado con la religión profesada, aunque sí con la práctica de actividades que propone la institución
religiosa de cada uno.The objective of the present study was to estimate the
correlations between the satisfaction with life, religion
and health in a sample of 446 participants (42,60%
men and 57,40% women) between the ages of 18 to 69
years. In addition, an analysis of multiple regression by
steps was made in order to determine the predictors of
life satisfaction. All participants completed the following
instruments: Sociodemographic Questionnaire,
Satisfaction with Life Scales, SF-36 Questionnaire of
Health and Scale of Religiosity. From the results it was
found that the satisfaction with life was not associated
with the religion professed. Greater satisfaction with life
was predicted by greater organizational religious
practice, better general health, better mental health
and better emotional role. In conclusion the level of
satisfaction with life does not seem to be related to the
religion professed, but with the practice of activities
proposed by the religious institution of each one
Mortality and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international cohort study
Background: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on postoperative recovery needs to be understood to inform clinical decision making during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study reports 30-day mortality and pulmonary complication rates in patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This international, multicentre, cohort study at 235 hospitals in 24 countries included all patients undergoing surgery who had SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality and was assessed in all enrolled patients. The main secondary outcome measure was pulmonary complications, defined as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or unexpected postoperative ventilation. Findings: This analysis includes 1128 patients who had surgery between Jan 1 and March 31, 2020, of whom 835 (74·0%) had emergency surgery and 280 (24·8%) had elective surgery. SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed preoperatively in 294 (26·1%) patients. 30-day mortality was 23·8% (268 of 1128). Pulmonary complications occurred in 577 (51·2%) of 1128 patients; 30-day mortality in these patients was 38·0% (219 of 577), accounting for 81·7% (219 of 268) of all deaths. In adjusted analyses, 30-day mortality was associated with male sex (odds ratio 1·75 [95% CI 1·28–2·40], p\textless0·0001), age 70 years or older versus younger than 70 years (2·30 [1·65–3·22], p\textless0·0001), American Society of Anesthesiologists grades 3–5 versus grades 1–2 (2·35 [1·57–3·53], p\textless0·0001), malignant versus benign or obstetric diagnosis (1·55 [1·01–2·39], p=0·046), emergency versus elective surgery (1·67 [1·06–2·63], p=0·026), and major versus minor surgery (1·52 [1·01–2·31], p=0·047). Interpretation: Postoperative pulmonary complications occur in half of patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with high mortality. Thresholds for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic should be higher than during normal practice, particularly in men aged 70 years and older. Consideration should be given for postponing non-urgent procedures and promoting non-operative treatment to delay or avoid the need for surgery.

Search for top squark production in fully hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV
A search for production of the supersymmetric partners of the top quark, top squarks, is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collision events containing multiple jets, no leptons, and large transverse momentum imbalance. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1). The targeted signal production scenarios are direct and gluino-mediated top squark production, including scenarios in which the top squark and neutralino masses are nearly degenerate. The search utilizes novel algorithms based on deep neural networks that identify hadronically decaying top quarks and W bosons, which are expected in many of the targeted signal models. No statistically significant excess of events is observed relative to the expectation from the standard model, and limits on the top squark production cross section are obtained in the context of simplified supersymmetric models for various production and decay modes. Exclusion limits as high as 1310 GeVare established at the 95% confidence level on the mass of the top squark for direct top squark production models, and as high as 2260 GeV on the mass of the gluino for gluino-mediated top squark production models. These results represent a significant improvement over the results of previous searches for supersymmetry by CMS in the same final state.Peer reviewe
Search for lepton-flavor violating decays of the Higgs boson in the mu tau and e tau final states in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV
A search is presented for lepton-flavor violating decays of the Higgs boson to mu t and et. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1) collected at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. No significant excess has been found, and the results are interpreted in terms of upper limits on lepton-flavor violating branching fractions of the Higgs boson. The observed (expected) upper limits on the branching fractions are, respectively, B(H -> mu t) e tau) < 0.22(0.16)% at 95% confidence level.Peer reviewe
