Authors: SEN Gamze
Published: May 2024

In recent years, studies on the two-dimensional structure of narcissism with its grandiose and vulnerable aspects have intensified. This study emphasizes that there is a significant mediation role of emotional regulation skills and perceived multidimensional social support between narcissism and psychological distress. A Total 442 participants (74% female) between aged 18 and 51 (M = 24.98, SD = 7.76) attained to the study. The research used scales assessing emotional regulation skills (ERS), narcissism (PNI), perceived social support (MSPSS), and psychological distress (DASS). Results indicated significant negative associations between ERS dimensions and vulnerable narcissism, and no associations with grandiose narcissism. There are significant positive associations between MSPSS dimensions and grandiose narcissism, but negative associations with vulnerable narcissism. The study suggest that different emotion regulation skills may stem from narcissistic vulnerability and affect the psychological distress variable through perceived social support. As a result of the current study, we found that emotional regulation skill is important for vulnerable narcissism to regulate emotion, and it can be regulated through perceived social support; however, it is understood that the perception of social support becomes more difficult due to narcissistic characteristics

The aim of the re­search is to test some scales for self-assessment developed by positive psychology, implementing the multi-method ap­proach, but also to analyze the data for existing patterns’ differences in complex affective func­tions and dysfunctions. The “resilience”, “subjective life-satisfaction”, “emotional expressive­ness”, “expressive ambivalence”, “suppression or reappraisal in emotion regulation” invento­ries are reliable and valid measures, which reflect complex subjective functions from the emo­tional sphere. It is noted that these indices follow a bi-directional logic – some patterns express negative trends in experiences, and others reflect a positive psychological transformation of primary functions helping to overcome emotional difficulties and turning adversity into ad­vantage. It was also found that three scripts of complex mediatory sequential models are demonstrated, which combined, predict how two intuitive routes sustain and effect deterioration or improvement in the context of an individual case interpretation.
SCHOOL COUNSELORS’ SELF-EFFICACY IN ADDRESSING ADOLESCENTS’ MENTAL ISSUES IN THE AFTER-COVID-19 ERA
Authors: Dimitriou Loukia , Panaoura Rita
Published: May 2024

The unanticipated arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic has upset thousands of adolescents worldwide, whereas shifts to remote schooling have minimized their access to school-based support. This study focused on three research questions: How do School Counselors (a) evaluate the impact of COVID-19 restrictive measures on adolescents' mental health? (b) appraise their self-efficacy to help adolescents cope with the challenges? (c) Assess post-pandemic pupil behavior and their self-efficacy beliefs. It aimed to resource creative school-counseling approaches to improve youth resilience. Findings showed that counselors regarded generalized worry, concern about academic studies and job development, and increasing internet use as adolescents' most important psychological/behavioral issues. Most counselors felt efficient in their professional development, teamwork, cross-cultural sensitivity, leadership, assessment, personal and social growth, and development. Counselors who evaluated pupils as high/medium in generalized anxiety, depressive symptoms, academic/career development, and excessive internet time evaluated themselves significantly higher on all factors of the self-efficacy scale compared to those who assessed students as medium/low on the aforementioned factors, who scored significantly lower in self-efficacy.
REVIEW OF THE BOOK "THE POLYGRAPH METHOD - APPLICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL SELECTION OF PERSONNEL" BY AUTHORS VELINA VLADIMIROVA AND EMELINA ZAIMOVA

Published: May 2024

The review presents the book "POLYGRAPHIC METHOD - Application in the Professional Selection of Personnel " by Velina Vladimirova and Emelina Zaimova. The authors demonstrate analytically and empirically that the polygraph method is the only scientific method for the detection of falsehoods and the identification of unfair practices in the professional past, along with other scientifically based technologies for the verification of claims. The scientific work proposed by Vladimirova and Zaimova makes it possible to develop a comprehensive concept of the stages of conduct and the problems faced by polygraph specialists.

El objetivo de la investigación es conocer el manejo de las diferentes opciones farmacológicas para sedación a mujer para parto vaginal y cesárea. Se realizó una búsqueda en Pubmed, Web Of Science y Cochrane con los términos indexados en español: “manejo”, “anestesia”, “parto vaginal” y “cesárea”, junto a sus términos indexados en inglés: “managament”, “anesthesia”, “vaginal birth” y “cesarean section”. El uso de la anestesia en procedimientos obstétricos como son el parto vaginal y la cesárea cada vez son más usados, con la finalidad de disminuir el dolor y dar una mejor atención durante el trabajo de parto. Los bloqueos nerviosos, como el bloqueo del nervio paracervical y el bloqueo del nervio pudendo, son opciones efectivas para el alivio del dolor durante el parto vaginal, aunque presentan ciertas limitaciones y riesgos que deben ser considerados. Por otro lado, la anestesia neuroaxial es la preferida en cesáreas debido a su perfil de seguridad y eficacia, aunque en casos de emergencia, la anestesia general puede ser necesaria, aunque con riesgos adicionales.

Este trabajo tiene como finalidad la creación de una estrategia de comunicación completa dirigida a la Agencia Metropolitana de Gestión de Transporte Terrestre, Tráfico y Seguridad Vial (AMT). El objetivo principal es desarrollar acciones que mejoren la eficiencia en la prestación de servicios, buscando con ello elevar la percepción positiva entre los empleados de la institución. Para el análisis pertinente, se ha recurrido a la revisión de literatura especializada, lo que ha permitido evaluar estudios previos y diversas variables importantes para el tema en cuestión. Este esfuerzo investigativo se define como exploratorio y explicativo, adoptando una perspectiva cuantitativa dada la necesidad de recopilar y procesar numéricamente los datos obtenidos. Mediante la implementación de encuestas, se consiguió una muestra representativa de 329 trabajadores de la mencionada Agencia, localizados específicamente en la unidad de gestión de tráfico del centro del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito. La cuidadosa revisión de la bibliografía y el análisis detallado de las respuestas obtenidas en las encuestas facilitaron la formulación de conclusiones pertinentes.
Neurociencia de las Emociones: Revisión Actualizada
Authors: González Rocío , Parra-Bolaños Nicolás
Published: May 2024

Las emociones constituyen un elemento esencial de la existencia humana; sin embargo, su estudio científico ha sido controversial, existiendo diversas conceptualizaciones. El presente trabajo muestra un recorrido conceptual acerca de estas diferentes perspectivas. Se desarrollan las posturas teóricas y las evidencias empíricas obtenidas desde el origen mismo del estudio de las emociones, conformando lo que hoy se conoce como la teoría clásica (ya sea tanto desde las posturas biologicistas como desde las cognitivistas), para luego describir los postulados recientes correspondientes a las teorías contemporáneas de las emociones que abarcan tanto las perspectivas socioculturales como las constructivistas. A pesar de las enormes inversiones en investigación, las emociones siguen siendo aún hoy enigmáticas para la ciencia, por lo que es de suma importancia profundizar en su conocimiento.
Sistema Basado en IoT para Monitorear y Detectar Anomalías en la Vía del Ferrocarril
Authors: Mamani Tola Ariel Ramiro
Published: May 2024

El presente artículo propone una aplicación basada en IoT (Internet de las cosas) para monitorear la distancia de la separación entre los rieles de una vía de ferrocarril, esta distancia es conocida como trocha y cuando la trocha es abierta o de un valor superior al permitido, representa uno de los principales factores de riesgo para los descarrilamientos de los trenes. La trocha abierta llega a producirse debido a la fuerza y el peso con el que circulan los trenes sumados al desgaste de los rieles y también a factores climatológicos (altas temperaturas que dilatan las rieles); el sistema propuesto pretende identiﬁcar la distancia de la trocha mediante sensores especializados los cuales apoyados con un servidor en la nube y un módulo GPS permitirán recolectar información respecto a la longitud de la trocha. Esta información, recolectada a tiempo, permitirá aplicar mecanismos de corrección y mantenimiento en la vía férrea para reducir los riesgos de descarrilamientos que puedan llegar a producirse cuando la trocha presenta anomalías (trocha abierta) o cuando las rieles han sufrido un desgaste considerable. En ese sentido, se presenta también un entorno experimental construido mediante tecnología Arduino para veriﬁcar los resultados del sistema propuesto.
