Published: February 2023

An experimental investigation of the boiling-up dynamics of a jet of superheated water being discharged through a short nozzle of a small diameter (d=0.2 mm) has been conducted. A change in the shape of a boiling-up jet has been traced at various degrees of superheat. A complete flow opening has been established in the temperature range of T=493-583 K. The instability of a complete breakup has been revealed. On the basis of experimental data, the dependence of variations in the jet opening angle on the saturation pressure has been plotted in dimensionless coordinates. Low-frequency pulsations with a power spectrum inversely proportional to the frequency (1/f-spectrum) have been found under changes of shapes of the boiling-up flow. Keywords: complete jet opening, superheated liquid, explosive boiling-up, short nozzle, 1/f-spectrum.

Authors: Benemanskaya G. V.  , Timoshnev S. N.
Published: February 2023

The electronic structure of ultrathin Cs/Bi2Se3 interfaces has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The experiments were carried out in situ in ultrahigh vacuum with submonolayer Cs coverages on Bi2Se3 samples. It was found that the adsorption of Cs causes changes in the core level spectra of Bi 4f, Bi 5d, Se 3d. It has been established that Cs atoms are adsorbed predominantly on Bi atoms in the upper surface layer. The states of the valence band were studied for a clean Bi2Se3 surface and for the Cs/Bi2Se3 interface. Near the Fermi level, 2D topological states have been found. Two induced surface states appear in the region of the valence band upon adsorption of Cs. Keywords: topological insulators, electronic structure, ultrathin interfaces, photoelectron spectroscopy.

Published: February 2023

The spectral properties of gap electroacoustic waves in PT-symmetric piezoelectric structures of symmetry class 6 are investigated theoretically. It was found out that, at a certain level of loss and gain in piezoelectrics, the symmetric and antisymmetric modes intersect. The intersection point defines an exceptional point of the PT-symmetric structure. It was shown that the frequency dependence of the amplitude at the exceptional point has an extremely narrow resonance peak, which opens up the possibility of creating supersensitive sensors based on PT-symmetric physical structures. Keywords: PT-symmetry, piezoelectrics, electroacoustic waves, gap structure.

Sensory Overresponsivity and Symptoms Across the Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum: Web-Based Longitudinal Observational Study
Authors: Moreno-Amador Beatriz , Cervin Matti , Martínez-González Agustin Ernesto , Piqueras Jose A ,   OCD-Spectrum Spain Research Group
Published: February 2023

Background

Sensory overresponsivity (SOR) has emerged as a potential endophenotype in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but few studies have examined SOR in relation to the major symptom dimensions of OCD and to symptoms across the full obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptom spectrum.

Objective

This study had 2 main objectives. First, we examined the psychometric properties of the SOR Scales in a community-based sample of Spanish adolescents and adults. Second, we identified how SOR difficulties are related to symptoms across the full OC spectrum (eg, OC, body dysmorphic, hoarding, skin-picking, and hair-pulling symptoms), including the heterogeneity of OC symptoms.

Methods

We translated the SOR Scales into Spanish—a measure that assesses SOR across the 5 sensory modalities—and created a web-based version of the measure. A sample of 1454 adolescents and adults (mean age 23.84, SD 8.46 years) participated in the study, and 388 (26.69%) participants completed the survey twice (approximately 8 months apart). The survey also contained a web-based measure that assesses symptoms across the full OC spectrum: harm and checking, taboo obsessions, contamination or cleaning, symmetry and ordering, body dysmorphic, hoarding, hair-pulling, and skin-picking symptoms.

Results

The psychometric properties of the SOR Scales were excellent, and the test-retest reliability was adequate. All types of SOR were related to all major symptom dimensions of OCD and to all OC spectrum symptoms.

Conclusions

SOR across the sensory modalities can be validly assessed using a web-based measure. SOR emerged as a pure transdiagnostic phenomenon in relation to symptoms across the OC spectrum, with no specific sensory modality being more strongly related to OC symptoms. SOR can shed much needed light on basic mechanisms that are important for the onset and maintenance of OC spectrum symptoms, and this study shows that large-scale web-based studies can aid in this endeavor. Future studies should examine whether SOR precedes or emerges alongside OC symptoms.
Health Care Professionals’ Experiences in Telerehabilitation: Qualitative Content Analysis
Authors: Qvarfordt Maria , Nilsson Evalill , Nilsson Lina
Published: February 2023

Background

The use of digital communication in Swedish health care has increased in an effort to make health care more accessible. At the organizational level, trust in digitalization has stabilized, but a certain degree of skepticism regarding technology appears to exist among health care employees.

Objective

This study aimed to explore health care professionals’ (HCPs) experiences of digital communication with patients and colleagues in a habilitation context.

Methods

Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze data derived from individual interviews.

Results

The results revealed that there were mixed feelings regarding the digital format used at the habilitation center. Although some skepticism remained regarding the digital format, there seemed to be a parallel understanding of the motives and benefits of digitalization. Hence, positive aspects, such as increased health care accessibility, were identified. However, emphasis was placed on the considerations required to make digital consultations appropriate for each patient.

Conclusions

Managing a workday influenced by the balance between digital and physical demands forces HCPs to adjust to the digital format and new ways of working. This requires HCPs to consider whether digital means are appropriate for communication in individual patient-specific cases.
Designing Virtual Natural Environments for Older Adults: Think-Aloud Study
Authors: Lundstedt Rikard , Persson Johanna , Håkansson Carita , Frennert Susanne , Wallergård Mattias
Published: February 2023

Background

Spending time in natural environments is beneficial for human health, but many older adults have limited or no access to natural environments. Virtual reality technology may be a means to facilitate nature experiences, and so, there is a need for knowledge on how to design virtual restorative natural environments for older adults.

Objective

The aim of this study was to identify, implement, and test older adults’ preferences and ideas regarding virtual natural environments.

Methods

A total of 14 older adults (mean age 75, SD 5.9 years) participated in an iterative process to design such an environment. We used think-aloud protocols and qualitative content analysis and established questionnaires that targeted usability, affective aspects, and side effects. These data guided the design decisions for incremental implementations of a prototype.

Results

The participants’ preferences included trueness to reality in terms of rendition and behavior; traces of human activity and natural processes that trigger the imagination and provide believability; the ability to roam, explore, and interact with the environment; and a familiar, relatable environment that evokes memories. The iterative design process resulted in a prototype featuring many of the participants’ ideas and preferences, including a seated locomotion technique, animals, a boat ride, the discovery of a boat wreck, and apple picking. The questionnaire results indicated high perceived usability, interest, and enjoyment; low pressure and tension; moderate value and usefulness; and negligible side effects.

Conclusions

We suggested 3 principles for virtual natural environments for older adults: realness, interactivity, and relatedness. Virtual natural environments should also provide a diversity of content and activities to accommodate the heterogeneity in older adults’ preferences. These results can contribute to a framework for designing virtual natural environments for older adults. However, these findings need to be tested and potentially revised in future studies.
The Association of a Geographically Wide Social Media Network on Depression: County-Level Ecological Analysis
Authors: Beauchamp Alaina M , Lehmann Christoph U , Medford Richard J , Hughes Amy E
Published: February 2023

Background

Social connectedness decreases human mortality, improves cancer survival, cardiovascular health, and body mass, results in better-controlled glucose levels, and strengthens mental health. However, few public health studies have leveraged large social media data sets to classify user network structure and geographic reach rather than the sole use of social media platforms.

Objective

The objective of this study was to determine the association between population-level digital social connectedness and reach and depression in the population across geographies of the United States.

Methods

Our study used an ecological assessment of aggregated, cross-sectional population measures of social connectedness, and self-reported depression across all counties in the United States. This study included all 3142 counties in the contiguous United States. We used measures obtained between 2018 and 2020 for adult residents in the study area. The study’s main exposure of interest is the Social Connectedness Index (SCI), a pair-wise composite index describing the “strength of connectedness between 2 geographic areas as represented by Facebook friendship ties.” This measure describes the density and geographical reach of average county residents’ social network using Facebook friendships and can differentiate between local and long-distance Facebook connections. The study’s outcome of interest is self-reported depressive disorder as published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Results

On average, 21% (21/100) of all adult residents in the United States reported a depressive disorder. Depression frequency was the lowest for counties in the Northeast (18.6%) and was highest for southern counties (22.4%). Social networks in northeastern counties involved moderately local connections (SCI 5-10 the 20th percentile for n=70, 36% of counties), whereas social networks in Midwest, southern, and western counties contained mostly local connections (SCI 1-2 the 20th percentile for n=598, 56.7%, n=401, 28.2%, and n=159, 38.4%, respectively). As the quantity and distance that social connections span (ie, SCI) increased, the prevalence of depressive disorders decreased by 0.3% (SE 0.1%) per rank.

Conclusions

Social connectedness and depression showed, after adjusting for confounding factors such as income, education, cohabitation, natural resources, employment categories, accessibility, and urbanicity, that a greater social connectedness score is associated with a decreased prevalence of depression.
Empowering Researchers to Query Medical Data and Biospecimens by Ensuring Appropriate Usability of a Feasibility Tool: Evaluation Study
Authors: Schüttler Christina , Zerlik Maria , Gruendner Julian , Köhler Thomas , Rosenau Lorenz , Prokosch Hans-Ulrich , Sedlmayr Brita
Published: February 2023

Background

The Aligning Biobanking and Data Integration Centers Efficiently project aims to harmonize technologies and governance structures of German university hospitals and their biobanks to facilitate searching for patient data and biospecimens. The central element will be a feasibility tool for researchers to query the availability of samples and data to determine the feasibility of their study project.

Objective

The objectives of the study were as follows: an evaluation of the overall user interface usability of the feasibility tool, the identification of critical usability issues, comprehensibility of the underlying ontology operability, and analysis of user feedback on additional functionalities. From these, recommendations for quality-of-use optimization, focusing on more intuitive usability, were derived.

Methods

To achieve the study goal, an exploratory usability test consisting of 2 main parts was conducted. In the first part, the thinking aloud method (test participants express their thoughts aloud throughout their use of the tool) was complemented by a quantitative questionnaire. In the second part, the interview method was combined with supplementary mock-ups to collect users’ opinions on possible additional features.

Results

The study cohort rated global usability of the feasibility tool based on the System Usability Scale with a good score of 81.25. The tasks assigned posed certain challenges. No participant was able to solve all tasks correctly. A detailed analysis showed that this was mostly because of minor issues. This impression was confirmed by the recorded statements, which described the tool as intuitive and user friendly. The feedback also provided useful insights regarding which critical usability problems occur and need to be addressed promptly.

Conclusions

The findings indicate that the prototype of the Aligning Biobanking and Data Integration Centers Efficiently feasibility tool is headed in the right direction. Nevertheless, we see potential for optimization primarily in the display of the search functions, the unambiguous distinguishability of criteria, and the visibility of their associated classification system. Overall, it can be stated that the combination of different tools used to evaluate the feasibility tool provided a comprehensive picture of its usability.
Problems and Barriers Related to the Use of Digital Health Applications: Scoping Review
Authors: Giebel Godwin Denk , Speckemeier Christian , Abels Carina , Plescher Felix , Börchers Kirstin , Wasem Jürgen , Blase Nikola , Neusser Silke
Published: February 2023

Background

The digitization of health care led to a steady increase in the adoption and use of mobile health (mHealth) apps. Germany is the first country in the world to cover the costs of mHealth apps through statutory health insurance. Although the benefits of mHealth apps are discussed in detail, aspects of problems and barriers are rarely studied.

Objective

This scoping review aimed to map and categorize the evidence on problems and barriers related to the use of mHealth apps.

Methods

Systematic searches were conducted in the MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO databases. Additional searches were conducted on JMIR Publications and on websites of relevant international organizations. The inclusion criteria were publications dealing with apps similar to those approved in the German health care system, publications addressing problems and barriers related to the use of mHealth apps, and articles published between January 1, 2015, and June 8, 2021. Study selection was performed by 2 reviewers. The manuscript was drafted according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist. The analysis of the included publications and categorization of problems and hurdles were performed using MAXQDA (VERBI Software GmbH).

Results

The database search identified 1479 publications. Of the 1479 publications, 21 (1.42%) met the inclusion criteria. A further 8 publications were included from citation searching and searching in JMIR Publications. The identified publications were analyzed for problems and barriers. Problems and barriers were classified into 10 categories (“validity,” “usability,” “technology,” “use and adherence,” “data privacy and security,” “patient-physician relationship,” “knowledge and skills,” “individuality,” “implementation,” and “costs”). The most frequently mentioned categories were use and adherence (eg, incorporating the app into daily life or dropouts from use; n=22) and usability (eg, ease of use and design; n=19).

Conclusions

The search identified various problems and barriers in the context of mHealth apps. Although problems at the app level (such as usability) are studied frequently, problems at the system level are addressed rather vaguely. To ensure optimal use of and care with mHealth apps, it is essential to consider all types of problems and barriers. Therefore, researchers and policy makers should have a special focus on this issue to identify the needs for quality assurance.

Philosophy of Emancipatory Education through the Masters of Suspicion
Authors: Simon John Christianto , Arnawa I Gusti Nyoman
Published: February 2023

This paper will answer what the masters of suspicion say about the construction of today’s relevant philosophy of education. This paper is a qualitative research intended to construct meaning through a literature search on selected reading sources. The hermeneutic perspective used in this paper means an attempt to put the text, namely the thoughts of these masters of suspicion, in the present context to construct a meaning for the relevant philosophy of education. Three masters of suspicion, i.e. Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche, spoke respectively of a critical task in the realm of human action. Marx suspected that economic motives are often not to support life but to suppress it instead. Nietzsche suspected that religion only produced decadent and timid humans so they never became their true selves, hypocrite, and like to scare others. Freud was suspicious of human subconscious motivation so it must be seriously criticized in order to bring out an action that is truly born of compassionate political and social morality. These three masters present important education values to be developed today, namely education for social change, empowerment, and building compassionate social and political morality.
Ethical Reflections on the Practice of Pre-Election Polls in Indonesia
Authors: Mujiharto Samsul Maarif
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to connect the practice of pre-election polls to moral issues and democracy. Several studies have indicated that pre-election polls have grown to become essential pillars of democracy. The prediction capabilities of pre-election polls can help politicians arrange strategies to listen to the public's voice and win political contestation. However, since the practice of pre-election polls is not only scientific evidence but also political credential, it crosses the blurry boundary where they intersect one another. Consequently, this may exacerbate some pathologies of polls such as method corruption, data manipulation, bandwagon effect, and political mobilization. Focusing on the 2014 and 2019 Indonesia presidential elections, this paper suggests that ethical consideration to ensure the practice of pre-election polls is necessary for bringing the polls back as one of the prime pillars of democracy.

Modeling and Solving a Linear Integer Problem (PLNE) for the Optimal Localization of a Hub Air Transport in the WAEMU Zone
Authors: Ibrahima Abdoulaye Ali , Bisso Saley , Diagne Salimata Gueye
Published: February 2023

In this article, we propose a linear integer model for the optimal location of a hub for air traffic in the WAEMU zone. A hub represents for an airline a base where an essential part of its activities is concentrated. Its location must therefore be judiciously determined. The hub location problem is one of the new and promising areas of research in the field of location theory. In order to satisfy a demand, the location of the hub involves the movement of people, goods between origin destination pairs required. Hubs are applied to reduce the number of transport links between the origin and destination airports. The proposed model minimizes the distances and takes into account the flow of passengers registered in the different airports and minimizes the total cost of the transfer via the hub airport. The simulations were made with the programming language Python.
Let’s Write a Comic Together! Exploring Peer Collaborative Writing in EFL Secondary Mixed-age Classrooms
Authors: Kos Dr. Tomas , Lara Friedrich, Zoe
Published: February 2023

Based on the beliefs (assertions) that students benefit socially and cognitively from interacting with peers of different ages, mixed-age (M-A) classrooms have attracted much attention from educators, education policymakers, and researchers. Nevertheless, research into the role and impact of age grouping in second (L2) and foreign language (FL) learning is rather scarce. Moreover, a growing body of research has shown that by linking oral and written modes, collaborative writing (CW) aids language learning. However, the majority of studies have investigated adult and young adult students, and very few were conducted with secondary and high school students. Based on our knowledge, no study has explored CW in M-A secondary school classrooms. With these research gaps in mind, and drawing predominantly on documentary analysis of student written work, the present study examined CW of 28 students of English as a foreign language (EFL) aged 12 to 15 old learners who jointly wrote a comic. The findings point to limitations of M-A peer interaction suggesting that there is a threshold for the younger learners in terms of benefiting from CW with their older partners. Similarly, the findings suggest that the extent to which OS benefit is rather limited.
Research on the Influence of Sound Therapy in Music Education on College Students’ Mental Health
Authors: Haoran Ke
Published: February 2023

At present, college students are suffering from various influences, and the pressure is increasing day by day. Many college students do not know how to deal with these pressures. Over time, they have psychological problems, which is a major obstacle to the growth and development of college students. Therefore, college education should emphasize mental health education, with the goal of cultivating students’ good psychological quality, carry out various activities, stimulate students’ psychological potential, and promote students’ comprehensive and healthy development of body and mind. For the psychological problems of college students, the traditional treatment plan is to intervene, such as cognitive therapy. Although it is helpful for students’ psychological problems, there are still some deficiencies. Music therapy mainly uses music as the carrier to cure people’s heart, which is easier to be accepted by students and has better effect. Therefore, it is of positive significance to apply music therapy to college students’ psychological education. For students, it is a simple and enjoyable treatment. For teachers, it is a new research path. In the long run, music therapy must have broad prospects for development. The mental health education in colleges and universities will also slowly turn their attention to music therapy.
Mercosur and European Union Association Agreement: An Approach to Geographical Indications and Positive and Negative Aspects
Authors: Andrade Alisson Murilo Rocha de , Martins Warley Lopes , Leal Liliane Vieira Martins
Published: February 2023

Environmental certification is a topic that often stands out with its potential in times of consumerist demands from the national and international market. Products registered with the Geographical Indication, whether in the Indication of Origin or Denomination of Origin modalities, emerge as opportunities for valuing the small and medium-sized producer both in terms of qualities inherent to the unique products and in a policy of cultural, ethnic, labor and familiar. In 2019, the conclusion of negotiations for the Association Agreement between the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and the European Union was announced. The document represents a major advance in economic, political, social and environmental relations between the members of Mercosur and the European Union. Among the topics addressed in the agreement, intellectual property, the protection of GIs, tariff reduction and commercial concessions between the two blocs stand out. Considering the complexity of the subject at the international level, the available information and the little transparency of the Agreement's negotiating process, the article presents an approach on the Geographical Indications system in Brazil, the European Union and Mercosur, and a preliminary analysis of the positive impacts and negatives of the Agreement. As a methodological approach, priority is given to exploratory, bibliographical and documentary research, with descriptive secondary data analysis. It was observed that the industrial, services and primary sectors will be largely affected. In the case of Brazil, agribusiness seems to be the economic segment that will be impacted by the greatest risks and opportunities, especially in terms of Geographical Indications for small and medium-sized producers.

Authors: Junying Song
Published: February 2023

Ursula K. Le Guin is one of the greatest writers in the world literary scene. Analyzing her works from different perspectives has different manifestations. The Left Hand of Darkness is one of her famous fictional stories. This paper, talking from the Eco-feminist perspective, aims to explore her considerations of the two genders, taking the main character Genly Ai as an example. Studying her Eco-feminist thinking in her works can help people understand better gender relations in modern society.
Finding Space for Shared Futures
Authors: Bodden Shawn , Elliott Jenny
Published: February 2023

Reflecting on the challenges and experiences of delivering a public co-design project during the Covid-19 pandemic, we use this paper to make an argument for greater experimentation with and attention to the evaluation methods used to assess and justify co-design projects. Evaluation is often treated as a final, retrospective, and—too often—last-minute step in delivering a design project. In reality,  practices of evaluation characterise every step of participatory design. Formal evaluation processes often dismiss the practical techniques and criteria that participants use to decide whether a design is good for them or their community, however, relying instead on narrowly-defined methods and criteria established a priori by professional ‘experts’. The tensions that arise between participants’ lived practices of evaluation and formal accounts of evaluation can lead to differences of opinion and diverging decisions—and concerns about ‘inauthentic’ or ‘shallow’ co-design. Finding techniques to carry forward participants’ everyday evaluations into the formal methods and evaluations of project reports should therefore be treated as a crucial concern for participatory design. In this vein, we reflect on both the methodological experiments and challenges involved in our effort to find better possible, agreeable and shareable futures in our co-design project “Future of the High Street” by examining the spaces of evaluation created within co-design projects in order to spark further debate about the possibilities of co-evaluating the projects and spaces we share with others. Drawing on ethnomethodology, a sociological school of thought focused on the study of the everyday and mundane methods used by people to organise, make sense of and act in their social world, we argue that such spaces of evaluation are sites where designers and participants create and negotiate shared grammars of accountability and justification of their work together. Recording and sharing these exchanges is one way to better align the formal evaluation of co-design with the situated and shared evaluations through which participants decide whether and how participation in a project is worthwhile or empowering. This, however, requires a shift from treating ‘methods’ as means-to-an-end and toward an understanding of methods as experimental practices that designers and participants alike might use to occasion reflection on how to think, act and design together.
Tres medios y dos presidencias: un estudio sobre el sesgo partidario en los medios argentinos
Authors: Prinetti Agustín
Published: February 2023

Durante las últimas dos décadas, las acusaciones sobre sesgo partidario en los medios de comunicación proliferaron en la esfera pública argentina. Numerosos investigadores han estudiado la relación entre los medios y los últimos gobiernos pero, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en otros países, es difícil encontrar intentos de contrastar, estimar y comparar el sesgo partidario de los medios. Este artículo se propone aportar a esta línea de investigación analizando las coberturas que los diarios argentinos Clarín, La Nación y Página 12 otorgaron al Índice de Confianza del Consumidor (ICC) durante los gobiernos de Cristina Kirchner y Mauricio Macri. Este diseño de investigación es particularmente útil porque mitiga las dificultades para el estudio de sesgos que han sido identificadas en análisis previos realizados en otros países. Los resultados sugieren que existe un sesgo partidario en los tres diarios que coincide con los roles asignados a ellos en la esfera pública argentina, pero con diferencias respecto a la modalidad y el grado de intensidad.
Censura previa en Ecuador: caso Página 12 y la comunicación periodística en tiempo de elecciones
Authors: Punín Larrea Ma. Isabel , García-Torres Carlos
Published: February 2023

Los procesos de regulación y control en Ecuador han provocado una serie de hechos vinculados al derecho a la libertad de expresión y prensa. En este marco, se analizan las implicaciones jurídicas de la “censura previa” establecida en el artículo 18 de la Ley Orgánica de Comunicación LOC (2013) vigente en Ecuador en el tiempo en que ocurrieron los hechos que son materia de análisis. A partir de allí se han dado algunas reformas a la Ley Orgánica de Comunicación pero el presente artículo se basa en el texto legal vigente en 2013. Se toma como referencia de estudio el caso conocido como Página 12, caso inédito en el país, que estableció sanciones a siete medios de comunicación, todos ellos privados, por la no publicación de un reportaje difundido en Argentina y relacionado con la inversión en paraísos fiscales del excandidato presidencial Guillermo Lasso Mendoza. El artículo argumenta que la disparidad entre LOC (2013) y los instrumentos internacionales está dada por los mismos fines de la ley, así como por la definición y contenidos de la libertad de expresión que en ese compendio normativo realiza. Entre los resultados relevantes podemos señalar que las sanciones impuestas en el caso de análisis fueron fruto del abuso de poder y flagrantes violaciones de las libertades de información y de expresión.
El declive de la confianza institucional en México: ¿desempeño político o cultura?
Authors: López Robles Adalberto
Published: February 2023

Este estudio examina las teorías de la confianza política en México a partir de datos de la encuesta del Barómetro de las Américas de 2010 a 2021. Estas teorías sostienen que las fluctuaciones de la confianza dependen de factores contextuales. El modelo del desempeño institucional enfatiza variables como la situación económica del país, la capacidad de los gobiernos para combatir la corrupción, proveer servicios a la ciudadanía y mejorar la seguridad pública. Por su parte, la teoría sociocultural se basa en la confianza interpersonal y el activismo social como factores explicativos, puesto que sostiene que la confianza en las instituciones es el resultado de procesos de socialización. Se desarrollaron modelos de regresión por mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (OLS) usando el paquete estadístico STATA y se encontró, para el caso mexicano, que las variaciones en los niveles de confianza política se explican en mayor medida en función de las evaluaciones que los ciudadanos hacen del desempeño de las instituciones. Este trabajo demuestra la superioridad del modelo del desempeño sobre el enfoque sociocultural en la explicación de la confianza institucional. Con estos resultados, esta investigación pretende aportar a la discusión teórica y empírica sobre los factores explicativos de la confianza política.
