Outdoor training como metodología para potenciar la inteligencia emocional en niños y adolescentes

Actualmente el talento es palabra clave para cualquier tipo de organización e institución. Apoyados por un cambio de mentalidad, que coincide con la entrada del siglo XXI, las investigaciones comienzan a poner en duda el CI (coeficiente de inteligencia) como factor predominante para alcanzar éxito social y profesional, pasando a defender el CE (coeficiente emocional).

Outdoor training como metodología para potenciar la inteligencia emocional en niños de 1.º ciclo

Supported by a change of mentality, which coincides with the entry of the century, the investigations begin to question the intelligence quotient as a predominant factor in achieving social and professional success, going to defend the emotional quotient. Thus, we advocate its improvement in children and young people to equip them with differentiating competencies. Outdoor Training, which places individuals in natural settings outside their comfort zone, is shown as a methodology to better and faster learning than the traditional model. For this reason, it is being developed at this time a research project that aims to assess whether the methodology of outdoor training, used to work socio-emotional skills in executives, is also valid for working competences in children in basic education. For this, we chose an experimental study, which includes 162 students from two public schools in 1.º cycle of basic education Funchal Council, a group operating as an experimental group ( 83 students ) who participate in outdoor training activities during the academic year 2013/2014, and a control group (79 students). Children will be assessed at two points, at the beginning and end of the school year through the following instruments: the Bar -On Emotional Quotient Inventory test: Youth Version (Candeias and Rebocho, 2007), the Test of Emotional Comprehension (TEC, Ponst , Harris, and de Rosnay, 2004), the questionnaire Socially in Action (Socialmente em Acção, SA, Candeias, 2008), Social Cognitive Test Inteligência (Prueva Cognitiva de Inteligência Social, PCIS, Candeias, 2007); Raven’s progressive matrices (Simões , 2000) and the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale (PHCSCS -2, Veiga , 2006). By now it was made the first evaluation and are being developed outdoor training activities with the experimental group. In this paper, we present some qualitative results of the developments observed in the students who are participating in these activities.Apoyados por un cambio de mentalidad, que coincide con la entrada del siglo XXI, las investigaciones comienzan a poner en duda el coeficiente de inteligencia como factor predominante para alcanzar éxito social y profesional, pasando a defender el coeficiente emocional.

Para tal, optamos por un estudio experimental, que incluye 162 alumnos de dos escuelas públicas de 1.º ciclo de educación básica del Concejo de Funchal, funcionando un grupo como grupo experimental (83 alumnos), que participará en actividades de outdoor training durante el año lectivo 2013/2014; y un grupo de control (79 alumnos). Los niños serán evaluados en dos momentos, al inicio y al final del año lectivo a través de los siguientes instrumentos: el test Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (Candeias y Rebocho, 2007); el Test of Emotional Comprehension (TEC, Ponst, Harris, y de Rosnay, 2004); el cuestionario Socialmente em Acção (SA, Candeias, 2008); la Prueba Cognitiva de Inteligência Social (PCIS, Candeias, 2007); las matrizes progressivas coloridas de Ravem (MPCR, Simões, 2000) y el Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale (PHCSCS-2 Veiga, 2006). En este momento ya fue realizada la primera evaluación y están siendo desarrolladas las actividades de outdoor training con el grupo experimental. En esta comunicación presentaremos algunos resultados cualitativos de la evolución observada en los alumnos que están participando en estas actividades

Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against SARS-CoV-2: an interim analysis of four randomised controlled trials in Brazil, South Africa, and the UK.

BACKGROUND: A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. METHODS: This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Africa. Participants aged 18 years and older were randomly assigned (1:1) to ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine or control (meningococcal group A, C, W, and Y conjugate vaccine or saline). Participants in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 group received two doses containing 5 × 1010 viral particles (standard dose; SD/SD cohort); a subset in the UK trial received a half dose as their first dose (low dose) and a standard dose as their second dose (LD/SD cohort). The primary efficacy analysis included symptomatic COVID-19 in seronegative participants with a nucleic acid amplification test-positive swab more than 14 days after a second dose of vaccine. Participants were analysed according to treatment received, with data cutoff on Nov 4, 2020. Vaccine efficacy was calculated as 1 - relative risk derived from a robust Poisson regression model adjusted for age. Studies are registered at ISRCTN89951424 and ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04324606, NCT04400838, and NCT04444674. FINDINGS: Between April 23 and Nov 4, 2020, 23 848 participants were enrolled and 11 636 participants (7548 in the UK, 4088 in Brazil) were included in the interim primary efficacy analysis. In participants who received two standard doses, vaccine efficacy was 62·1% (95% CI 41·0-75·7; 27 [0·6%] of 4440 in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 group vs71 [1·6%] of 4455 in the control group) and in participants who received a low dose followed by a standard dose, efficacy was 90·0% (67·4-97·0; three [0·2%] of 1367 vs 30 [2·2%] of 1374; pinteraction=0·010). Overall vaccine efficacy across both groups was 70·4% (95·8% CI 54·8-80·6; 30 [0·5%] of 5807 vs 101 [1·7%] of 5829). From 21 days after the first dose, there were ten cases hospitalised for COVID-19, all in the control arm; two were classified as severe COVID-19, including one death. There were 74 341 person-months of safety follow-up (median 3·4 months, IQR 1·3-4·8): 175 severe adverse events occurred in 168 participants, 84 events in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 group and 91 in the control group. Three events were classified as possibly related to a vaccine: one in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 group, one in the control group, and one in a participant who remains masked to group allocation. INTERPRETATION: ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 has an acceptable safety profile and has been found to be efficacious against symptomatic COVID-19 in this interim analysis of ongoing clinical trials.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data

Geoeconomic variations in epidemiology, ventilation management, and outcomes in invasively ventilated intensive care unit patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome: a pooled analysis of four observational studies

Background: Geoeconomic variations in epidemiology, the practice of ventilation, and outcome in invasively ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain unexplored. In this analysis we aim to address these gaps using individual patient data of four large observational studies. Methods: In this pooled analysis we harmonised individual patient data from the ERICC, LUNG SAFE, PRoVENT, and PRoVENT-iMiC prospective observational studies, which were conducted from June, 2011, to December, 2018, in 534 ICUs in 54 countries. We used the 2016 World Bank classification to define two geoeconomic regions: middle-income countries (MICs) and high-income countries (HICs). ARDS was defined according to the Berlin criteria. Descriptive statistics were used to compare patients in MICs versus HICs. The primary outcome was the use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) for the first 3 days of mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes were key ventilation parameters (tidal volume size, positive end-expiratory pressure, fraction of inspired oxygen, peak pressure, plateau pressure, driving pressure, and respiratory rate), patient characteristics, the risk for and actual development of acute respiratory distress syndrome after the first day of ventilation, duration of ventilation, ICU length of stay, and ICU mortality. Findings: Of the 7608 patients included in the original studies, this analysis included 3852 patients without ARDS, of whom 2345 were from MICs and 1507 were from HICs. Patients in MICs were younger, shorter and with a slightly lower body-mass index, more often had diabetes and active cancer, but less often chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure than patients from HICs. Sequential organ failure assessment scores were similar in MICs and HICs. Use of LTVV in MICs and HICs was comparable (42·4% vs 44·2%; absolute difference -1·69 [-9·58 to 6·11] p=0·67; data available in 3174 [82%] of 3852 patients). The median applied positive end expiratory pressure was lower in MICs than in HICs (5 [IQR 5-8] vs 6 [5-8] cm H2O; p=0·0011). ICU mortality was higher in MICs than in HICs (30·5% vs 19·9%; p=0·0004; adjusted effect 16·41% [95% CI 9·52-23·52]; p<0·0001) and was inversely associated with gross domestic product (adjusted odds ratio for a US$10 000 increase per capita 0·80 [95% CI 0·75-0·86]; p<0·0001). Interpretation: Despite similar disease severity and ventilation management, ICU mortality in patients without ARDS is higher in MICs than in HICs, with a strong association with country-level economic status
