Addressing water-related shocks and coping decision through enhanced community participation: case studies from Ganga basin, Uttarakhand, India
Authors: Sharma Divya , Khandekar Neha , Sachdeva Kamna
Published: September 2019

Farming communities in the Upper Ganga basin, nestled in the Himalayan region, are finding it extremely difficult to face water-related shocks, which stand to profoundly impact their quality of life and livelihoods, due to climate change. Often, coping strategies (technological or institutional interventions), developed by planners, become counter-productive as they are not in cognizance with the end user community. This study presents a methodology to enable incorporation of community knowledge and expectations in planning by integrating participatory rural appraisal (PRA) with geographic information systems, leading to better informed coping strategies. As part of this, we create thematic maps which: (i) capture information on a spatial scale (otherwise lost during PRA), (ii) facilitate community participation for further research and planning in their contexts, and, (iii) co-create knowledge to develop a shared understanding of water-related hazards at the village level. The proposed methodology is presented through three case study sites – two in the plains (<500 masl) and one in the middle (500–1,500 masl) elevation regions of Upper Ganga basin. We show how this way of approaching context analysis facilitates community involvement as well as co-creating a knowledge base which can help researchers and government officials with mindful planning of interventions in the area.

Authors: Sánchez Valdés Arlen , Vargas Martínez Elva Esther , Castillo Nechar Marcelino
Published: September 2019

Con el propósito de identificar las diferentes fases por la cuales ha transitado el municipio de Ixtapa de la Sal (México), se efectuó un análisis cualitativo del ciclo de vida de este, con fundamento en el modelo del ciclo de vida de R. Butler, mediante una extensa revisión de fuentes bibliográficas, estadísticas y testimonios de informantes. Aunque el estudio es en extremo descriptivo, hace posible el entendimiento de la evolución de pequeños destinos turísticos, evidencia las limitantes conceptuales del modelo de Butler y establece las bases para la realización de otras investigaciones con la utilización de este modelo. Así, este artículo enriquece la discusión teórica acerca del modelo del ciclo de vida de Butler y deja en claro que el contexto y la dinámica propia del destino turístico influyen en la evolución de este.
Organismos locales para la atención y representación de las víctimas del delito en el nuevo Sistema Penal Acusatorio. Un estudio de caso con perspectiva organizacional
Authors: Fernández Ruiz Azucena
Published: September 2019

En este artículo se expone el estudio de caso de la Fiscalía para la Atención Integral a Víctimas del Delito del Estado de Morelos (México) desde una perspectiva organizacional, resultante de un estudio de caso simple de corte cualitativo. Se establece que los servidores públicos no perciben grandes cambios en sus funciones cotidianas después de la transición al modelo de fiscalía y la puesta en vigor de la reforma penal. Por lo tanto, la reforma penal no ha transformado de manera significativa el modo en que los operadores realizan sus funciones cotidianas de atención a las víctimas.
Los niños y el patrimonio. Los guardianes en el pueblo mágico de Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosí, México
Authors: Alvarado Solís Neyra Patricia
Published: September 2019

Con el objetivo de analizar el funcionamiento del patrimonio infantil en un caso de patrimonialización en coexistencia con la creatividad y la innovación, se utiliza la etnografía antropológica, el trabajo de campo de larga duración y el examen de las formas de transmisión. Pese a que las diferencias de un patrimonio institucionalizado y el dinamismo que los niños proporcionan a este implican el cuestionamiento de las definiciones universales, en esta investigación se reafirma que hablar del patrimonio de los niños supone la integración de estos en su mundo en el aquí y ahora, además de concebirlos como seres futuros del patrimonio. Así, los niños evidencian que la transmisión no es solo vertical en un proyecto institucional, sino también es horizontal entre los niños y entre los niños y los adultos. Por lo tanto, la sensibilidad es parte de la interpretación, explicación y creatividad que los niños desarrollan en un proceso de patrimonialización.

Authors: Rivera Villanueva José Antonio , Riojas López Mónica Elizabeth , Mellink Eric
Published: September 2019

Con el objetivo de revalorar la condición de nómadas de los guachichiles sureños, se analizaron fuentes documentales, bibliográficas y cartográficas y se realizó trabajo de campo a fin de definir la extensión geográfica del Tunal Grande. Ello permitió probar que los tunales distaban de ser los lugares de “miseria, dolor, sufrimiento, fatiga, pobreza, tormento”, como se le reportó a Sahagún, y que los guachichiles del Tunal Grande no eran nómadas. Además, la ubicación de los tunales ayuda al mejor entendimiento de las formas de ocupación y poblamiento de esa región, así como a la comprensión de la magnitud de los cambios ambientales en esta. Adicionalmente, se muestra que el Tunal Grande y el Tunal Frontero proveían abundantes recursos vegetales y animales a los grupos étnicos que los habitaron y que la protección de la nopalera arborescente de Charcas Viejas es de interés histórico y biológico.

Authors: Ramírez-Rave Sandra , Bernad-Bernad María Josefa , Gracia-Mora Jesús , Yatsimirsky Anatoly K.
Published: September 2019

Hybrid materials based on Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSN) have attracted plentiful
attention due to the versatility of their chemistry, and the field of Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) is not
an exception. MSN present desirable biocompatibility, high surface area values, and a well-studied surface
reactivity for tailoring a vast diversity of chemical moieties. Particularly important for DDS applications
is the use of external stimuli for drug release. In this context, light is an exceptional alternative
due to its high degree of spatiotemporal precision and non-invasive character, and a large number of
promising DDS based on photoswitchable properties of azobenzenes have been recently reported. This
review covers the recent advances in design of DDS using light as an external stimulus mostly based
on literature published within last years with an emphasis on usually overlooked underlying chemistry,
photophysical properties, and supramolecular complexation of azobenzenes.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is age-related neurodegenerative disorder recognized by a steadily
gradual cognitive decline that has devastating personal and socioeconomic implications. Recently, some
genetic factors for AD have been identified which attracted wide attention of researchers in different
areas of AD biology and possible new therapeutic targets. Alternative forms of triggering receptor expressed
on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) genes are examples of such risk factors, which contribute higher
risk for developing AD. Comprehending TREM2 function pledge to provide salient insight into how
neuroinflammation contributes to AD pathology. The dearth of microglial TREM2 shepherd to augmented
tau pathology is couple with frequent enhancement of activated neuronal stress kinases. The involvement
of TREM2 in the regulation of tau-associated innate immune response of the CNS has clearly
demonstrated through these findings. However, whether decrease level of TREM2 assists pathology of
tau through changed clearance and pathological escalation of tau or through direct contact between microglia
and neuron and any alternative possible mechanisms need to examine. This review briefly summarizes
distinct functional roles of TREM2 in AD pathology and highlights the TREM2 gene regulation.
We have also addressed the impact of TREM2 on β-amyloid plaques and tau pathology in Alzheimer’s
disease.
Overview of Current Immunotherapies Targeting Mutated KRAS Cancers
Authors: Hoo Winfrey Pui Yee , Siak Pui Yan , In Lionel L.A.
Published: September 2019

:

The occurrence of somatic substitution mutations of the KRAS proto-oncogene is highly prevalent in certain cancer types, which often leads to constant activation of proliferative pathways and subsequent neoplastic transformation. It is often seen as a gateway mutation in carcinogenesis and has been commonly deemed as a predictive biomarker for poor prognosis and relapse when conventional chemotherapeutics are employed. Additionally, its mutational status also renders EGFR targeted therapies ineffective owing to its downstream location. Efforts to discover new approaches targeting this menacing culprit have been ongoing for years without much success, and with incidences of KRAS positive cancer patients being on the rise, researchers are now turning towards immunotherapies as the way forward. In this scoping review, recent immunotherapeutic developments and advances in both preclinical and clinical studies targeting K-ras directly or indirectly via its downstream signal transduction machinery will be discussed. Additionally, some of the challenges and limitations of various K-ras targeting immunotherapeutic approaches such as vaccines, adoptive T cell therapies, and checkpoint inhibitors against KRAS positive cancers will be deliberated.
Predicting LncRNA Subcellular Localization Using Unbalanced Pseudo-k Nucleotide Compositions
Authors: Yang Xiao-Fei , Zhou Yuan-Ke , Zhang Lin , Gao Yang , Du Pu-Feng
Published: September 2019

Background:

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with a length more
than 200 nucleotides, functioning in the regulation of gene expression. More evidence has shown
that the biological functions of lncRNAs are intimately related to their subcellular localizations.
Therefore, it is very important to confirm the lncRNA subcellular localization.

Methods:

In this paper, we proposed a novel method to predict the subcellular localization of
lncRNAs. To more comprehensively utilize lncRNA sequence information, we exploited both kmer
nucleotide composition and sequence order correlated factors of lncRNA to formulate
lncRNA sequences. Meanwhile, a feature selection technique which was based on the Analysis Of
Variance (ANOVA) was applied to obtain the optimal feature subset. Finally, we used the support
vector machine (SVM) to perform the prediction.

Results:

The AUC value of the proposed method can reach 0.9695, which indicated the proposed
predictor is an efficient and reliable tool for determining lncRNA subcellular localization. Furthermore,
the predictor can reach the maximum overall accuracy of 90.37% in leave-one-out cross
validation, which clearly outperforms the existing state-of- the-art method.

Conclusion:

It is demonstrated that the proposed predictor is feasible and powerful for the prediction
of lncRNA subcellular. To facilitate subsequent genetic sequence research, we shared the

Authors: Mohd Isa Noorain , Aris Ahmad Zaharin , Ponrahono Zakiah , Harun Rosta
Published: September 2019

Vehicle-pedestrian conflict is a commonly unsafe event that occurs in both urban and rural areas, especially in developing countries. It is still an open research topic, mostly in traffic safety and urban planning, which is utilised for evaluating the behaviours of vehicles and pedestrians at a non-signalised marked walkway. Three stations were selected based on higher daily activities to calculate the regularity of pedestrian movement. A manual calculation method was applied, and the calculation was done only during the daytime. Three different teams were formed to obtain the measurements at the three different sampling points simultaneously. A present study on preliminary vehicle-pedestrian conflict reveals the frequency of pedestrians in a concentrated area and its Level of Service (LOS) in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Serdang. The findings show that rush hour occurs during the mid-day in weekday, when students have finished their classes and adults have gone out for other businesses.
EVALUATING CAPACITY BUILDING OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TOWARDS ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION IN AN ESTUARINE COMMUNITY, KONG KONG LAUT, JOHOR
Authors: Mohd Kusin Faradiella , Md Joni Amirul Azuan , Mohamat Yusuff Ferdaus , Syed Hasan Sharifah Nur Munirah
Published: September 2019

Key community-based environmental conservation programmes in Kong Kong Laut, Johor include the river and mangrove ecosystem conservation and management programme. The overall aim of conserving the ecosystem and encouraging local community participation in the programme is to promote the existing eco-tourism potential of the area. This paper entails the outcomes of community-based activities aimed at building the capacities of local communities through community mobilisation, awareness creation and capacity building (i.e. transferred knowledge and skills). Findings indicate that there have been improvements in the river water quality status within the ecosystems over the course of a one-year project, despite relatively small participation among the local communities in the conservation programme. However, it was evident that active participation from a minority group of the local community has contributed to significant human and social capital, suggesting that community empowerment might be crucial for future development. Despite this, a school outreach programme on waste minimisation within the community demonstrated an encouraging level of participation among school children and teachers. The major challenge to maintaining continuous efforts to conserve their environment is the simultaneous developments taking place close to the river and mangrove ecosystems. While it remains a challenge to all the stakeholders, collaborative efforts among the local communities and the university, school, government agencies and private sector have made it possible to strategise for more future approaches that will benefit the whole community.
QUANTIFYING THE ORGANIC WASTE GENERATED FROM THE FRESH MARKET IN KUNDASANG TOWN, SABAH
Authors: Yaacob Nurul Nadia Fatiha , Abd Manaf Latifah , Ash'aari Zulfa Hanah
Published: September 2019

It is necessary to assess solid waste generation to identify the rate by which we generate waste. A rapid increase in solid waste generation constitutes a significant challenge for developing countries such as Malaysia. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the primary source of solid waste generated in Malaysia and covers 64% of the total waste composition. 45% of the average composition of Malaysian MSW is dominated by organic waste (e.g. food, vegetable and fruits). This is followed by recyclable waste (e.g. plastic, paper and metal) at 30% with the remaining made up of non-recyclable waste (e.g. polystyrene). The Fresh Market in Kundasang town, Sabah is a major contributor to the increase of organic waste generated in the Ranau district. As such, it has the potential to implement effective composting practices. This study was conducted to determine the total amount of organic waste generated as well as the organic waste generation rate in the Fresh Market. The sampling was conducted among 148 sellers in the Fresh Market over a period of two weeks (5th August - 18th August 2017). Total organic waste generation was 13,147.50kg, while the organic waste generation rate was 6.35kg/premise/day. The value for municipal solid waste generation recorded by Majlis Daerah Ranau (MDR) in three varied routes of Kundasang during August 2017 (Jalan Pekan Kundasang, Jalan Mesilou and Jalan Kota Kinabalu) were 17 tonnes, 15 tonnes and 13 tonnes respectively. This shows that the solid waste generated in Jalan Pekan Kundasang was the highest compare to Jalan Mesilou and Jalan Kota Kinabalu. This study presents the current status of organic waste generation which can serve as preliminary baseline information.

Published: September 2019

Evaluation of supply chain of water consumption contributes toward reducing water scarcity, as it allows for increased water productivity in the agricultural sector. Water Footprint (WF) is a powerful tool for water management; it accounts for the volume of water consumption at high spatial and temporal resolution. The objective of this research is to investigate the water footprint trend of crop production in Tehran from 2008 to 2015 and to assess blue water scarcity in the agricultural sector. Water consumption of crop production was evaluated based on the WF method. Evapotranspiration was evaluated by applying the CROPWAT model. Blue water scarcity was evaluated using the blue water footprint-to-blue water availability formula. The results demonstrate that pistachio, cotton, walnut, almond, and wheat have a large WF, amounting to 11.111 m3/kg, 4,703 m3/kg, 3,932 m3/kg, 3,217 m3/kg, and 1.817 m3/kg, respectively. Agricultural blue water scarcity amounted to 0.6 (severe water stress class) (2015–2016). Agricultural water consumption in Tehran is unsustainable since it contributes to severe blue water scarcity. Tehran should reduce agricultural water scarcity by reducing the water footprint of the agricultural sector.
THE BEHAVIOURS AND JOB POSITIONS OF CITIZENS IN SMART CITIES’ DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Lim Sengboon , Abdul Malek Jalaluddin , Hussain Mohd Yusof , Tahir Zurinah
Published: September 2019

Of the three major actors in smart cities, citizens have the most ambiguous roles, unlike the government which is the clear decision-maker, and the private technological players which are obviously supposed to provide state-of-the-art technologies to smart cities. Evidently, the possession of ambiguous characteristics or vague roles can result in the manipulation and subjugation of the general public by the power-holders. Thus, the objective of this paper is toidentify the desirable characteristics – including the behaviours and job positions – of the citizens who participate in the development of smart cities. Following the conduction of semi-structured interviews on the stakeholders of smart cities, it was found that citizens can actually be (1) active and independent volunteers in public life, (2) local champions or co-producers of public values, as well as (3) aware and educated-intention human sensors who drive changes, instead of being passive users of data or beneficiaries of services. It has been argued that the creation of smart cities is reliant on a deeper understanding of the citizens’ characteristics, apart from the implementation of policies which generate aware and civic-minded citizens.
PLANNING OF PRIVATE GATED DEVELOPMENT: AN ANALYSIS OF GATED VS NON-GATED NEIGHBOURHOODS, CITY OF GURUGRAM, INDIA
Authors: Kaushik Ajay
Published: September 2019

The cities are expanding rapidly all over the world. India has also experienced this phenomenon and has continued the pace of growth. The recent trends in spatial growth of the cities are a new phenomenon in Indian urban landscape. The cities in India are witnessing development with the help of private developers for the last couple of decades. Being private properties these are by nature of exercising control have gates and boundaries. In scholarly literature these are called as Gated Community/Gated Development. Authors have argued them from various perspectives of anthropology, law, management and sociology etc. but very little has been discussed about their planning and morphology. Although, the rise of Gated Development is majorly attributed to the sense of fear and need for security, yet architects and urban designers, and even sociologist stress upon other methods to make the neighbourhoods secured. Hence the security aspects are not made part of the research here. The aspects of how these gated development impacts the perception of neighbourhood by residents is not touched upon. The paper discusses the distinction between the gated and non-gated neighbourhoods and also how residents perceive their neighbourhoods at large. For explaining this phenomenon, three neighbourhoods in the city of Gurugram in Haryana state in India have been identified as case study. These are identified on the basis of different morphological images that are identified. Space syntax and space cognition through sketch mapping is used for the analysis of the three neighbourhoods. The paper suggest that the continuity and connectivity of any spatial configuration is of utmost importance to make neighbourhood environment worthy of living life more socially connected.

Published: September 2019

Vulnerability is always related to the poor group. Vulnerability can be defined as being vulnerable to damage or ill effects because of changes in the society and the environment, and the inability to adapt to changes. In-depth understanding is important to probe what action should be taken to achieve the sustainability of the community and its environment. In Malaysia, the government has implemented various eradication programmes on rural poverty, and sustainable livelihoods, such as the agropolitan projects. Agropolitan projects are capable of achieving the objective to eradicate poverty, and the vulnerability faced by project participants which will affect their lives. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the vulnerability of agropolitan participants in Malaysia by utilising the Gahai Agropolitan, Lipis, Pahang project as a case study. This study used simple random sampling and it involved 45 participants of Gahai Agropolitan Project. Data were analysed using the Descriptive Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The findings showed that Gahai Agropolitan Project Participants faced multi-dimensional vulnerability in terms of economic, social, and physical and environmental aspects. Therefore, the Ministry of Rural Development (KKLW) and the Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (RISDA) need to pay more attention to reduce the vulnerability to participants of the agropolitan project, and help them to increase their income and improve their lives.

Published: September 2019

The flood events in Kelantan during December 2014 were examples of disasters in recent years that garnered national attention. Emergencies can occur with little or no warning. Floods deprive families of basic food and shelter, and lead to significant social and emotional impacts that linger long after the event. Every year, schools and community areas have been used as evacuation centres. A number of problems faced by the evacuees have been identified, especially in terms of physical facilities such as the lack of privacy for women and families, especially during night time. The objectives of this paper are as follows: (1) to study on the concept of privacy from an Islamic Perspective; and (2) to assess privacy in the context of a flood evacuation centre. The data gathered were tabulated. The research also utilised secondary data from literature. Data were analysed using content analysis and case studies. The data were analysed based on issues raised. Recommendations and suggestion are posed on overcoming the identified issues and problems. This research contributes a review of examples of evacuation facilities that follow Islamic teaching in the context of privacy in evacuation centres.

In Cameron Highland, Lembah Bertam area and further downstream villages in Susu Dam area are prone and vulnerable to the highest occurrence of floods especially during monsoon season. Thus, Early Warning System (EWS) were set up to avoid or to reduce the impact of natural hazard turns disasters such as floods, landslides and storms with the aim to reduce the vulnerability and disaster risks that signifies the effectiveness of EWS in the realisation of affected community. To test the awareness and preparedness of community in the selected area, a questionnaire survey was employed as the data collection method. The questionnaire survey was conducted before the direct engagement on the EWS information with the community. Using the mixed sampling method of cluster random sampling, a total of 800 respondents from 11 villages, and 5 main ethnicity groups were involved in the survey. From the result, there was a positive relationship showing that respondents who claimed they knew about the EWS from information signage were those from the older age category and earninghigher monthly income. On the other hand, there is a negative relationship between respondents’ age and monthly income against other sources that indicates respondents who claimed they knew about the EWS from other sources were those in the younger age category and have low monthly income.

Authors: Stone Arthur A. , Wen Cheng K. Fred , Schneider Stefan , Junghaenel Doerte U.
Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND

Daily diaries are extensively used for examining participants' daily experience in behavioral and medical science. Whether participants recall their experiences within the time frames prescribed by task has received little attention.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this study are to describe survey respondents' self-reported recall timeframe and to evaluate the impact of different daily diary items on respondents reported affective states.

METHODS

In this study, 577 participants completed a mood survey with one of four time frame instructions: 1) today, 2) since waking up today, 3) during the last 24 hours, or 4) in the last day. They were also asked to indicate the time periods they considered when answering these items and to recall the instructional phrases associated with the items.

RESULTS

Almost all participants in the "Today" (97%) and "Since waking up today" (94%)" conditions reported using time periods consistent with our expectations, while a lower proportion was observed in the "during the last 24 hours" (69%) condition. A diverse range of responses was observed in the "In the last day" condition. Furthermore, the instructions influenced the levels of some self-reported affects, although exploratory analyses were not able to identify the mechanism underlying this finding.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, these results indicate that "Today" and "Since waking up today" are the most effective instructional phrases for inquiring about daily experience and that investigators should use caution when using the other two instructional phrases.

Información y Sociedad del Conocimiento en América Latina
Authors: Díaz Escoto Alma Silvia
Published: September 2019

En virtud de la explosión de información producida en los últimos años, se creó la idea de que hemos transitado a un nuevo tipo de sociedad: la sociedad de la información y/o el conocimiento. En este tenor, se hace necesario plantear el significado de los términos información y conocimiento y la diferencia que existe entre ellos, pues no necesariamente una gran cantidad de información supone un mayor conocimiento. En tal sentido es fundamental que en los países latinoamericanos se reflexione sobre la información científica y académica que se produce y consume, toda vez que en muchas de nuestras instituciones estamos comprando a proveedores comerciales internacionales grandes paquetes de información especializada generada en los países más desarrollados, que no siempre cubre nuestras necesidades de información, y en cambio sí fortalece nuestra dependencia económica. Así que se requiere valorar, apoyar y promover los esfuerzos que se hacen en América Latina para organizar y difundir la información especializada que se está generando en nuestros países, si es que efectivamente se quiere formar parte de un nuevo tipo de sociedad que le de un papel privilegiado al conocimiento teórico.

Adult Attachment and Conflict Behavior: Delineating the Links
Authors: Feeney Judith A.
Published: September 2019

In couple relationships, intense or protracted conflict can activate the attachment system, raising concerns about the partner‘s availability and the future of the relationship. Hence, individuals with different attachment orientations are expected to respond differently to conflict. This article summarises a series of studies into adult attachment and conflict processes, examining four issues: conflicts regarding closeness and distance in dating couples, patterns of marital conflict, reactions to anger-evoking and hurtful events, and the role of attachment and conflict patterns in the intergenerational transmission of relationship difficulties. The studies point to complex links between attachment and conflict variables. Insecurity - particularly attachment anxiety – is associated with high levels of conflict, and with maladaptive responses such as coercion and conflict avoidance. These conflict behaviors are likely to fuel disagreement, hence maintaining or exacerbating insecurity. There is also evidence that insecurity and maladaptive conflict behaviors create relational dissatisfaction, and that conflict behaviors partially mediate the link between insecurity and dissatisfaction. Research further suggests that parents‘ insecurity and destructive conflict behaviors have negative consequences for adolescent offspring, in terms of attachment difficulties and appraisals of loneliness. These findings highlight the importance of interventions designed to ameliorate insecurities and communication difficulties.
Construct Validation of Mexican Empathy Scale Yields a Unique Mexican Factor

An empathy scale developed in Mexico (Diaz-Loving, Andrade –Palos & Nadelsticher-Mitrani, 1986) was translated and validated in a U.S. sample. The Mexican and Davis’ Interpersonal Reactivity Scales shared conceptually similar constructs. However, there were differences. In particular, a unique Mexican factor, Empatía Cognoscitiva and which we called Prescience had not been identified in empathy scales. It appeared to measure empathic accuracy, an individual’s purported knowledge of others’ feelings and moods. In a second study, we tested individuals’ sensitivity in detecting subtle changes in emotional expressions, and found that individuals who scored highly in this characteristic were not necessarily more accurate at detecting emotions, but took significantly more time to look at fearful and angry faces. The results of a third study suggest that this was not due to enhanced attentional capture by negative emotional faces. In a final study, we found that purported accuracy was based on self-presentational concerns. Validation of this factor provides a clearer understanding of its cognitive and motivational properties and future uses.

Con el propósito de establecer si el enfrentamiento y el conflicto, intervienen en la depresión, 405 participantes respondieron de manera voluntaria, la escala multidimensional multisituacional de enfrentamiento (Góngora, 1996), la de conflicto (Rivera, Cruz, Arnaldo, & Díaz-Loving, 2004) y el BDI-II (Beck, Steer & Brown, 2006). Resultado de una regresión múltiple paso a paso, la depresión es predicha por estrategias de vida emocional-negativo [β = .405**], pareja directo-revalorativo [β=-.258**], vida directo-revalorativo [β = -.181**], pareja emocional-negativo [β = .159**] pareja evasiva [β = .102*]. Una segunda regresión paso a paso, predice la depresión, por conflictos de personalidad [β = .425**], desconfianza [β = .192**], celos [β = -.198**], religión [β= -.120*], sexualidad [β = .129*].

Entre los diversos factores asociados con la predisposición a la conducta violenta se encuentra la portación de alelos de riesgo. Para investigar el efecto de dos alelos de riesgo (baja actividad de MAO-A y 7 repeticiones DRD4) sobre mediciones de agresión, se evaluaron mediante escalas psicológicas a 60 hombres sanos. Los resultados indicaron que tanto el efecto principal de cada uno de los alelos de riesgo, como su interacción impactan sobre mediciones de hostilidad, enojo, impulsividad, empatía y rasgos antisociales de psicopatía. Se concluye que es necesario investigar el efecto de estos alelos sobre la estructura y función cerebrales, además estos alelos aparentemente confieren riesgo para el desarrollo de conductas violentas.

El propósito este estudio fue el obtener un instrumento estandarizado de autoridad personal para la población mexicana. Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Autoridad Personal en el Sistema Familiar y se examinó su estructura factorial. Los participantes fueron 600 personas voluntarias, mayores de edad, casadas o en unión libre residentes del Distrito Federal y área metropolitana con número de hijos y ocupaciones variables. Las dimensiones propuestas en el cuestionario original fueron distintas para la población mexicana. Los resultados sugieren una solución de 16 factores para explicar el fenómeno y uno adicional correspondiente a un estudio exploratorio preliminar. Entre las diferencias, se encontraron factores por separado para el padre y la madre relacionados con la intimidad e intimidación intergeneracional en lugar de dimensiones unificadas. También se observaron factores exclusivos para describir la importancia de las expectativas de la madre hacia los hijos resaltando el impacto de la estructura de la familia mexicana en la obtención de los resultados. El análisis factorial de segundo orden muestra la conformación de cinco dimensiones que subyacen a la autoridad personal.

León, Abad y Rosas, (2010b) demostraron que la atención al contexto se pierde conforme umenta el entrenamiento. Así, a medida que aumenta el entrenamiento se observa una mayor generalización entre contextos distintos al de entrenamiento al perderse la atención. El objetivo del presente estudio fue poner a prueba ésta idea empleando una tarea instrumental en humanos con distintos valores del contexto (color). La tarea consistió en un juego de ordenador en el que se emitían distintas respuestas bajo un programa IV2s, en presencia de distintos estímulos discriminativos. En el Experimento 1 se entrenaron dos grupos con 3 y 8 ensayos, posteriormente se realizó un ensayo de prueba en el contexto de entrenamiento (amarillo) y en un contexto diferente (rojo). Los resultados demostraron una disminución de la ejecución con el cambio de contexto. En el Experimento 2 se entrenaron dos grupos de manera similar al Experimento 1, empleando un contexto naranja. Durante la prueba se presentaron degradaciones del color del contexto de entrenamiento con valores intermedios hacia el color amarillo y rojo. Los resultados sugieren que la atención al contexto de entrenamiento está modulada diferencialmente por la cantidad de entrenamiento en la tarea.

Abstrak. Salah satu bentuk perilaku yang dapat menurunkan school well being dan membuat iklim sekolah menjadi tidak menyenangkan adalah perundungan. Studi literatur menunjukkan bahwa selain perundungan, place attachment terhadap sekolah ternyata juga mempengaruhi school well being. Peneliti mengajukan hipotesis bahwa place attachment berperan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara perundungan dan school well being. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada 133 orang mahasiswa tingkat pertama dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang mengadaptasi alat ukur school well-being dan place attachment. Selain itu ditanyakan pula pengalaman perundungan responden saat di SMA. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa place attachment berperan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara perundungan dengan school well-being; semakin tinggi place attachment maka semakin kuat hubungan negatif antara perundungan dengan school well-being. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa place attachment dapat menjadi penangkal terhadap perundungan. Bagi siswa yang memiliki ikatan dan identifikasi diri yang kuat terhadap sekolah, maka perundungan yang terjadi tidak menurunkan school well-beingnya. Mereka akan tetap merasa nyaman bersekolah walaupun perundungan masih terjadi.Kata kunci: Perundungan, Place Attachment, School Well-being, ModeratorAbstract. One form of behavior that can reduce school well-being and make unpleasant school climate is bullying. Literature studies shows, that besides bullying, place attachment to school also affects school well being. The researcher hypothesized that place attachment acts as a moderator in the relationship between bullying and school well being. Data collection was conducted on 133 first-degree students using a questionnaire adapting the school well-being and place attachment questionnaire. In addition, the questionnaire also asked about respondents' bullying experience when in high school. The results show that place attachment acts as a moderator in the relationship between bullying with school well-being: Higher  place attachment will act as a buffer on bullying.  Students who have strong bonds and identify themself strongly with their schools, their school well-being will not be harmed by bullying. This suggests that students with high place attachment can remain comfortable and happy in school, even though bullying still occurs in their schools.Keywords: Bullying, Moderation, Place Attachment, School Well-being
