Sistema para la detección precoz de problemas en el aprendizaje

La edad preescolar es fundamental en el desarrollo del niño por los procesos relacionados con el desarrollo de la inteligencia, la personalidad y las habilidades de comportamiento social. En términos generales, el desarrollo puede concebirse como un conjunto de fenómenos en un proceso dinámico de organización sucesiva de funciones biológicas, psicológicas y sociales en compleja interacción, cuyas estructuras se modifican de acuerdo a las experiencias vitales. Según Michelini, las experiencias vitales negativas, así como las alteraciones en la organización de funciones biológicas, psicológicas y sociales, debidas a diversos factores, podrían ejercer una influencia determinante en el fracaso escolar en etapas posteriores. Resulta importante la detección precoz de dichas alteraciones por dos razones: para compensar las deficiencias biológicas y las ligadas a los contextos sociales y familiares desfavorables; y en segundo lugar, para habilitar a los contextos educativos a llevar al niño más allá de su nivel desarrollo actual. Cuanto más temprana sea la detección, se traducirá en mayores posibilidades de acción. La propuesta de este proyecto, se basa en el estudio de algunos factores que inciden en este proceso. Si bien son múltiples los agentes intervinientes, el presente constituye un primer paso para la formalización a través de un sistema informático de su tratamiento en edades entre los 3 y los 6 años, y por lo tanto es de esperar el progresivo refinamiento del mismo.

The Problematization of Sexuality among Women Living with HIV and a New Feminist Approach for Understanding and Enhancing Women’s Sexual Lives

In the context of HIV, women’s sexual rights and sexual autonomy are important but frequently overlooked and violated. Guided by community voices, feminist theories, and qualitative empirical research, we reviewed two decades of global quantitative research on sexuality among women living with HIV. In the 32 studies we found, conducted in 25 countries and composed mostly of cis-gender heterosexual women, sexuality was narrowly constructed as sexual behaviours involving risk (namely, penetration) and physiological dysfunctions relating to HIV illness, with far less attention given to the fullness of sexual lives in context, including more positive and rewarding experiences such as satisfaction and pleasure. Findings suggest that women experience declines in sexual activity, function, satisfaction, and pleasure following HIV diagnosis, at least for some period. The extent of such declines, however, is varied, with numerous contextual forces shaping women’s sexual well-being. Clinical markers of HIV (e.g., viral load, CD4 cell count) poorly predicted sexual outcomes, interrupting widely held assumptions about sexuality for women with HIV. Instead, the effects of HIV-related stigma intersecting with inequities related to trauma, violence, intimate relations, substance use, poverty, aging, and other social and cultural conditions primarily influenced the ways in which women experienced and enacted their sexuality. However, studies framed through a medical lens tended to pathologize outcomes as individual “problems,” whereas others driven by a public health agenda remained primarily preoccupied with protecting the public from HIV. In light of these findings, we present a new feminist approach for research, policy, and practice toward understanding and enhancing women’s sexual lives—one that affirms sexual diversity; engages deeply with society, politics, and history; and is grounded in women’s sexual rights

2016 United Kingdom national guideline on the sexual health care of men who have sex with men.

This guideline is intended for use in UK Genitourinary medicine clinics and sexual health services but is likely to be of relevance in all sexual health settings, including general practice and Contraception and Sexual Health (CASH) services, where men who have sex with men (MSM) seek sexual health care or where addressing the sexual health needs of MSM may have public health benefits. For the purposes of this document, MSM includes all gay, bisexual and all other males who have sex with other males and both cis and trans men. This document does not provide guidance on the treatment of particular conditions where this is covered in other British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) Guidelines but outlines best practice in multiple aspects of the sexual health care of MSM. Where prevention of sexually transmitted infections including HIV can be addressed as an integral part of clinical care, this is consistent with the concept of combination prevention and is included. The document is designed primarily to provide guidance on the direct clinical care of MSM but also makes reference to the design and delivery of services with the aim of supporting clinicians and commissioners in providing effective services. Methodology This document was produced in accordance with the guidance set out in the BASHH CEG's document 'Framework for guideline development and assessment' published in 2010 at http://www.bashh.org/guidelines and with reference to the Agree II instrument. Following the production of the updated framework in April 2015, the GRADE system for assessing evidence was adopted and the draft recommendations were regraded. Search strategy (see also Appendix 1) Ovid Medline 1946 to December 2014, Medline daily update, Embase 1974 to December 2014, Pubmed NeLH Guidelines Database, Cochrane library from 2000 to December 2014. Search language English only. The search for Section 3 was conducted on PubMed to December 2014. Priority was given to peer-reviewed papers published in scientific journals, although for many issues evidence includes conference abstracts listed on the Embase database. In addition, for 'Identification of problematic recreational drug and alcohol use' section and 'Sexual problems and dysfunctions in MSM' section, searches included PsycINFO. Methods Article titles and abstracts were reviewed and if relevant the full text article was obtained. Priority was given to randomised controlled trial and systematic review evidence, and recommendations made and graded on the basis of best available evidence. Piloting and feedback The first draft of the guideline was circulated to the writing group and to a small group of relevant experts, third sector partners and patient representatives who were invited to comment on the whole document and specifically on particular sections. The revised draft was reviewed by the CEG and then reviewed by the BASHH patient/public panel and posted on the BASHH website for public consultation. The final draft was piloted before publication. Guideline update The guidelines will be reviewed and revised in five years' time, 2022

Data-driven identification method and simulation modeling of a ground robot

Autonomous mobile robots rely on the environment features to operate. In a framework in which agents operate autonomously from each other and only use their on-board sensors and computing power, an accurate simulation environment has to be set up. Accuracy is increased by producing a good model of the robot agent itself. In this paper, a data-driven identification method is exploited to design a black-box model for numerical simulations. A MATLAB/Simulink-ROS-Unity3D hybrid environment is considered as simulation scenario, to be easily connected to the on-board real hardware

Global cross-cultural validation of a brief measure for identifying potential suicide risk in 42 countries

Objectives This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the P4 suicide screener in a multinational sample. The primary goal was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale and investigate its convergent validity by analyzing its correlation with depression, anxiety, and substance use. Study design The study design is a cross-sectional self-report study conducted across 42 countries. Methods A cross-sectional, self-report study was conducted in 42 countries, with a total of 82,243 participants included in the final data set. Results The study provides an overview of suicide ideation rates across 42 countries and confirms the structural validity of the P4 screener. The findings indicated that sexual and gender minority individuals exhibited higher rates of suicidal ideation. The P4 screener showed adequate reliability, convergence, and discriminant validity, and a cutoff score of 1 is recommended to identify individuals at risk of suicidal behavior. Conclusions The study supports the reliability and validity of the P4 suicide screener across 42 diverse countries, highlighting the importance of using a cross-cultural suicide risk assessment to standardize the identification of high-risk individuals and tailoring culturally sensitive suicide prevention strategies
