Response of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) to integrated application of chemical and manure fertilizers
Authors: LALEH Samaneh , JAMI AL-AHMADI Majid , PARSA Soheil
Published: July 2021

The investigation of various nutrition systems in hemp plays an influential role in improving its production. An experiment was conducted in University of Birjand, Iran, during 2013-2014, in which manure (0, 10, 20, and 30 t.ha-1 of cow manure) was considered as the main plot and the combination of nitrogen (0, 50, and 100 kg N ha-1 as urea) with phosphorus (0 and 80 kg P ha-1 as triple superphosphate) fertilizers was considered as factorial in subplots. The type of soil fertility management had no significant effect on the percentage of female plants. Applying 20 t.ha-1 of manure plus 100 kg N ha-1 produced the highest biological yield, seed, and leaf extract. The highest oil content was obtained by applying a maximum of 50 kg N ha-1 without the use of phosphorus. The 30 t ha-1 manure plus 100 kg N ha-1 increased the leaf harvest index and decreased seed harvest index. Nitrogen consumption also increased the seed oil content and yield. Phosphorus increased the biomass and extracts of seed and leaves, also biological, seeds and oil yield. It seems hemp responds well to the combined application of nitrogen fertilizer and animal manure, while its response to P fertilization was limited. 
Euphorbia bupleuroides Desf. latex as biopesticide against the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum [Herbst, 1797]) and khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium Everts, 1898)
Authors: BRIK Imene , FRAH Naama
Published: July 2021

Laboratory evaluation of Euphorbia bupleuroides latex as biopesticide against the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) and khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) were evaluated at ambient temperature. The insecticidal activity of latex was determined by direct contact application. Different concentrations were prepared by dilution of 2.5, 5.0, 7.0 and 10.0 µl of latex into 0.1 ml acetone. 1 µl was pumped regularly in the thorax of different insects. The latex of E. bupleuroides showed insecticidal activity against T. granarium and T. castaneum. High levels of mortality were associated with the increase in the concentration and time of exposure as well. T. granarium adults are generally more prone to latex insecticidal effects than T. castaneum adults. After 6 days of exposure to E. bupleuroides latex, the LC50 recorded was 14.12 µl for T. granarium adults, and 14.7 µl for T. castaneum. LC90 numbers, on the other hand, were 38.8 µl for the former, and 51.44 µl for the latter.
Gene action for grain protein content in durum wheat
Authors: DRAGOV Rangel
Published: July 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the gene action and combining ability of durum wheat for grain protein content. During the three year period a diallel cross was carried out with five modern parents of durum wheat – ‘Victoria’, ‘Deni’, ‘Superdur’, ‘Progres’ and ‘Predel’. Ten hybrid combinations and the parents were grown in the experimental field of the Field Crops Institute, Chirpan. The experiment was performed by the randomize block method design in three replications. It was found that in the inheritance of grain protein content dominance and overdominance in positive and negative directions were observed. Statistical processing of the results showed that both additive and non-additive genetic effects have influenced on inheritance. Non-additive gene effects (SCA) had a greater role in inheritance. This suggests that an effective selection for this trait could begin in later generations. The combining ability analysis has identified two good general combinators (Predel and Superdur varieties) that could be used as donors to increase the values of the trait protein content in grain. Several crosses showing positive and significant SCA effects have also been identified, suitable for achieving reliable transgressive genotypes.
Reinventing Performance Management
Authors: Crews Derek
Published: July 2021

Performance appraisals have traditionally been conducted annually or semi-annually. Recently, many companies are transitioning to ongoing feedback and coaching, either in addition to periodic appraisals, or lieu of them. There have also been calls for completely reinventing performance management systems, as the result of an abundance of research that indicates performance processes are over-engineered and time-consuming, and they tend to demotivate employees while hindering candid and honest conversations. This paper examines the common problems with attribution error and rater bias in traditional performance appraisal systems. Five mini-case studies are then presented by exploring how five large companies (Netflix, Adobe, Deloitte, IBM, GE), have reinvented the way in which performance management is implemented. The paper examines why these companies moved away from traditional performance appraisal and what processes replaced it. The paper also identifies emerging trends that will impact the future of performance management and offers suggestions for the road ahead.

Authors: Pathmananathan P. Ravindran , Aseh Khairi
Published: July 2021

Insurance fraud affects nearly every industry in the world, costing companies and others that pay insurance premiums billions of dollars per year. Insurance fraud can be found in almost any area of business where liability insurance is carried and intended to protect consumers; illegal activity can be detected in almost any field of business where liability insurance is carried and intended to protect consumers. The aim of this study is to study the predictor/s of anti-insurance fraud among non-insurer companies in Vietnam. This study was conducted using a questionnaire that was completed by 51employees who are currently working in the 11 non-life insurance company in Vietnam. It can be concluded that there exists a significant relationship between all the three independent variables which are namely claim procedure as well as business operation management and the dependent variable which is anti fraud procedure.

Authors: Pathmananathan P. Ravindran , Aseh Khairi , Kenny Kamal
Published: July 2021

The increase of interest in organic meat throughout the world is in response to concerns about the intensive agricultural practices and their effects on consumers’ health and the environment. Several researches have demonstrated that consumers have become increasingly concerned by the health risks posed by food consumption and this is reflected in the growth of organic food market in recent years across all regions, including Malaysia. However, the organic meat sector in Malaysia is still at its “infancy stage”, whereby more supports are needed to create consumer awareness in order to enhance the acceptance and stimulate the organic meat purchase in the country. The purpose of the study was to analyze the Malaysian’s consumer behavior on their purchase intention towards organic meat from various economic and marketing aspects. The overall results of this study reveal the organic meat choice motives of consumers as well as the purchasing pattern of organic meat among consumers in Klang Valley, Malaysia. This study was carried out via a structured survey throughout Klang Valley areas involving 300 respondents. Future research should focus on a similar study with the extended scope to all states in Malaysia so that the findings could be compared and generalized to the entire population in Malaysia.
Identifying How Customer’s Loyalty and Retention Influences Relationship Marketing in A Hotel Industry
Authors: Pathmananathan P. Ravindran , Aseh Khairi
Published: July 2021

In today's diverse global market place, relationship marketing has been recognised as an excellent way to develop an exclusive long-term relationship with their clients. Many organizations, on the other hand, struggle to systematically measure and monitor customer retention and the factors that influence it. Personal connection and service quality are becoming increasingly important to a growing number of businesses. The aim of this research is to emphasize the significance of personal connection and service quality in the service industry. This research was conducted using a questionnaire that was distributed to 200 hotel guests in urban areas such as Georgetown and Penang. It can be concluded that customer loyalty and customer retention play an important role in relationship marketing. As a result, the higher the degree of personal connection and service quality, the more likely it is that a customer will return to the hotel and recommend it to others.
Sustainability Implications of Stakeholders’ Perspectives in Agroforestry Management in Manyu Division, South West Region Cameroon.
Authors: Njiei Achu Frida , Mbihbiih Niying Roger
Published: July 2021

Agroforestry which focuses on the domestication and cultivation of Non-Traditional Forest Products (NTFP) has important sustainability implications for both livelihoods. Brundtland Report and subsequent international and regional instruments, sustainable development as epitomized in Agenda 2030 of the United Nations Organisation (UNO) has become the cornerstone of developmentalism. This study seeks to examine the interplay of sustainability from a stakeholders’ perspective. The findings of this qualitative method which was conducted in 11 villages in Manyu Division of the South West Region revealed that there was a plethora of stakeholders involved in the domain of agroforestry in the study area. These stakeholders were composed of state institutions (Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife-MINFOF, Program for Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the South West Region-PSMNR-SWR), international organisations (World Agroforestry Center-ICRAF, the World Wildlife Fund-WWF) and local community based institutions (EFOKHOYU), among others. Agroforestry related programmes implemented by these stakeholders ranged from the creation of training centers, allocation of funds and seedlings to farmers as well as the dissemination of knowledge on land conservation and the development of partnerships among farming communities. The findings revealed that this could be felt at the level of household food security with increased cultivation of species such as Irvingia gabonensis and Irvingia wombulu by nearly 62%. Such high rates of domestication and commercialisation of these species implied that the livelihoods of local farmers were assured without endangering over-exploitation of scarce forest resources. In conclusion, some challenges such as issues related with accessibility, high cost associated with domestication among others complicate the activities of stakeholders in Manyu Division. That notwithstanding, the study recommends that tailor made policy interventions should be deployed to address the challenges raised.

Reflective examination of the educational philosophies of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania: Intricacies for curriculum development in Africa.
Authors: Yalley Clarke Ebow , Acquah Andrews
Published: July 2021

The central focus of this paper is to undertake a reflective examination of the educational philosophies of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania and these educational philosophies intricacies for curriculum development in Africa. The educational philosophies of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah (Consciencism, Socialism, Africanism, Humanism, and Communism) as well as that of Julius Nyerere (Self-reliance and Liberation) were of importance to the distinct countries at the time yet, its relevance can still be felt and their foundational legacies within the educational front solidified and modified to meet current changes in education. African curriculum developers must not lose sight of the implications of these educational philosophies of these great Africanist scholars rather synchronize contemporary educational philosophies to meet the standards and vision of education of these two great Pan-Africanist.

La interculturalidad del español: corrección y adecuación de saludos y direcciones en la evaluación de profesores nativos
Authors: Ainciburu María Cecilia , Velasco David Rodríguez Velasco
Published: July 2021

This research aims to investigate the presence in textbooks of varied material in terms of geolectal equivalents and its perception by teachers of Spanish as a foreign language. In order to examine potential differences in their approach, a pedagogical framework-based task was designed to study a corpus of 100 ELE teachers’ evaluations (50 from Colombia and 50 from Spain) and examine their consciousness and dissimilarities regarding pragmatic correctness when expressing addresses and greeting headings in electronic messages. The results show that native teachers tend to consider as correct the stimuli of peninsular Spanish or of their own variety, while those representing different geolectal variations of Spanish tend to score very low, even being considered as inter or intralinguistic error.
Los condicionamientos pragmáticos del uso de los deícticos de tiempo en español
Authors: Brzozowska-Zburzyńska Beata
Published: July 2021

The objective of this study is to reflect on the Spanish time expressions that function as deictic elements. Deixis is a phenomenon strictly related to aspects of a pragmatic nature since it depends on the situational context in which the participants of the communicative act are. We want to search, discover and describe the pragmatic conditioning that determines the appearance and operation of this type of element in Spanish. Our idea is to demonstrate that in time deictic expressions the semantic content is not enough for speakers to use these expressions properly. It is necessary to resort to information that exceeds the level of meaning and find guidelines for the good interpretation of the expression in the situational and personal context. The group of time deictics is not heterogeneous from the formal point of view. It includes simple elements (for example, adverbs) and more or less complex elements (noun and prepositional phrases). We will focus on this second group and, above all, on the nominal constructions that include determinants and temporal adjectives since in this type of structure each constituent element performs a different semantic-pragmatic function and only the combination of these allows us to discover the definitive value of the set.
Las construcciones verbo-nominales en la enseñanza de ELE
Authors: Pascual-López Xavier
Published: July 2021

This paper proposes an approach to verb-noun constructions that allows them to be understood holistically, which facilitates the acquisition of their distinctive features (for example, the presence or absence of an article) and their effective correlation with certain communicative functions and situations. Therefore, their use will not only be lexically and grammatically appropriate, but the apprentices will be able to make use of them as a whole acquired and associated with a certain communicative situation or function. As a result, their fluency will gain naturalness and will be closer to native.
Logical and practical advantages of double consciousness
Authors: West Donna E.
Published: July 2021

This account augments Peirce's concept of consciousness in two ways: 1) it highlights its double nature and 2) it explores how this two-sided consciousness advances modal logic. Double consciousness facilitates inferencing in that differences between old information and new information are noticed; logical conflicts between the two can then be explored and resolved expeditiously. This often natural but a forced need to consider new facts in light of old ones provides a scaffold for a higher level of consciousness, namely, self and heterocriticism — inciting interpreters to attend to the new facts, to intentionally compare facts and propositions, and to reflect upon the reasons for their comparative efficacy. In his call to double consciousness, Peirce enlivens us to draw deeply from the well of logical and practical affordances — surprising events and sustained interactive platforms. Peirce’s call requires us to utilize consciousness from its very basic level: attention to stimuli, awareness of unexpected facts, mental wrestling of effort and resistance, and finally synthetic consciousness which engenders binding frames of legitimate meanings from reliable genres. In this effort, Peirce informs us that the most reliable inferencing can only be ascertained by weighing ego with non-ego — through an active course of careful synthesis.

Emasculating healers. Medical castration practices in Greco-Roman antiquity*
Authors: König Jacqueline G. M.
Published: July 2021

In the course of the human past the elimination of the testicles of boys and men – what we call castration – has taken place for a variety of reasons. Many times it was meant to deliberately hurt people. It is and was also performed, though, as a therapeutic measure by well-meaning physicians. Studying the motivations of medical practitioners involved in castration practices provides insight into the deontology and cultural context of these healers. This article explores the healing activities of the physicians of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds in this special field of surgery. In the extant literary sources we find medical indications for castration which are quite obvious to a modern eye, but also more mysterious and unexpected occasions which need to be explained from the historical context.

Histological regression of gastrointestinal peritoneal metastases after systemic chemotherapy
Authors: Toussaint Laura , Teixeira Farinha Hugo , Barras Jean-Luc , Demartines Nicolas , Sempoux Christine , Hübner Martin
Published: July 2021

Objectives

Peritoneal metastases (PM) are relatively resistant to systemic chemotherapy, and data on histological response to therapy is rare. The aim of this study was to quantify the treatment response of PM after systemic chemotherapy.

Methods

Retrospective monocentric cohort study of 47 consecutive patients with PM from gastrointestinal origin undergoing surgery (cytoreduction: CRS + Hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy [HIPEC] or Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy [PIPAC]) after prior systemic chemotherapy from 1.2015 to 3.2019. Tumor response was assessed using the 4-scale Peritoneal Regression Grading System (PRGS) (4: vital tumor to 1: complete response).

Results

Patients had a median of 2 (range: 1–7) lines and 10 (3–39) cycles of prior systemic chemotherapy. A median of four biopsies (range: 3–8) was taken with a total of 196 analyzed specimens. Twenty-four biopsies (12%) showed no histological regression (PRGS4), while PRGS 3, two and one were diagnosed in 37 (19%), 39 (20%), and 69 (49%) specimens, respectively. A significant heterogeneity was found between peritoneal biopsies in 51% patients. PRGS correlated strongly with peritoneal spread (PCI, p<0.0001), and was improved in patients with more than nine cycles of systemic chemotherapy (p=0.04). Median survival was higher in patients with PRGS < 1.8 (Quartiles one and 2) than higher (Q3 and Q4), but the difference did not reach significance in this small cohort.

Conclusions

PRGS is an objective too to describe histological response of PM of GI origin after systemic chemotherapy. This response differs significantly between patients, allowing to distinguish between chemosensitive and chemoresistant tumors.
Cremated animal remains and shattered pottery. Rare ritual deposits from the Middle to Late Bronze Age at Aalst – Siesegemkouter (Belgium)
Authors: Verbrugge Arne , Groot Maaike , Deforce Koen , Mulder Guy De , Meer Wouter Van der , Reniere Sibrecht , Cherretté Bart , Boudin Mathieu , Ervynck Anton
Published: July 2021

Archaeological research at Aalst – Siesegemkouter revealed several pits within a Middle to Late Bronze Age settlement. Most of them hardly contained any artefacts, but one exception showed a structured stratigraphy with an abundance of finds, including a large amount of shattered pottery, charcoal and calcined animal bone. The study of this assemblage, and comparison with two other pits showing similarities, provides strong indications of a closing deposit or another type of ‘site maintenance practice’. In the Low Countries, comparable contexts generally date from the Iron Age, suggesting that the finds from Aalst – Siesegemkouter represent early forerunners of this ritual practice. On top of this early date, the large volume of cremated animal bone represents an almost unique characteristic for which, until now, parallels from the Metal Ages have hardly been found, even on a Northwestern European scale. In general, the role played by organic remains in ritual contexts from these periods and regions is poorly understood, often due to bad preservation conditions or the lack of a multidisciplinary approach.
The use of local fibres for textiles at Neolithic Çatalhöyük
Authors: Rast-Eicher Antoinette , Karg Sabine , Bender Jørgensen Lise
Published: July 2021

Woven textiles from Çatalhöyük in southern Anatolia are among the earliest-known examples of weaving in the Near East and Europe. Studies of material excavated in the 1960s identified the fibres as flax. New scanning electron microscope analysis, however, shows these fibres—and others from more recent excavations at the site—to be made from locally sourced oak bast. This result is consistent with the near absence of flax seeds at Çatalhöyük, and suggests there was no need for the importation of fibres from elsewhere; it also questions the date at which domesticated flax was first used for fibres. These findings shed new light on early textile production in the Neolithic, suggesting that tree bast played a more significant role than previously recognised.
Trust and Communication: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Authors: Flew Terry , Jiang Yuan
Published: July 2021

What has been referred to as the crisis of trust in social institutions has deep connections with communications, whether it be declining trust in news media and journalism, debates about the power of digital platforms and trust in online environments, questions surrounding media effects, the rise of political populism, or how trust or mistrust shapes interpersonal and intergroup communication. At the same time, trust in communications research has something of a “hidden history” when compared to disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, political science, and economics. Through a systematic literature review of uses of the concept of trust in six journals published by the International Communication Association—Journal of Communication; Communication Theory; Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication; Human Communication Research; Communication, Culture & Critique; and Annals of the International Communication Association (formerly Communication Yearbook)—this article undertakes a chronological and thematic analysis of how research into trust has evolved among communication researchers from the 1950s to 2020. It concludes with a discussion of the distinctive contributions of communications as a scholarly field to trust studies more broadly.
Lean mass, magnesium, faecal calprotectin and glucocorticoid exposure as risk factors for low bone mineral density in inflammatory bowel disease patients
Authors: Soare Iulia , Sirbu Anca , Diculescu Mihai Mircea , Mateescu Bogdan Radu , Tieranu Cristian , Martin Sorina , Barbu Carmen Gabriela , Ionescu Mirela , Fica Simona
Published: July 2021

Background and aim

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a common complication in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, debates are ongoing with regard to the other involved factors, especially in younger patients. This study aimed to evaluate the parameters that contribute to decreased BMD, focusing on premenopausal women and men aged <50 years.

Methods

This study included 81 patients with IBD and 81 age-, sex- and BMI-matched controls. Blood tests were conducted on IBD patients, and a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan was performed on both groups.

Results

Low BMD and fragility fracture were found to be more prevalent in IBD patients than in healthy subjects (49.3% vs 23.4%, P = 0.001 and 9.8% vs 1.2%, P = 0.01, respectively). Patients with low BMD were older, with a longer disease duration, higher faecal calprotectin (FC) levels and lower magnesium and lean mass (appreciated as appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI)). Multiple regression analysis revealed that ASMI, age and use of glucocorticoids were the independent parameters for decreased BMD. Although 91.3% of the patients had a 25-hydroxy vitamin D level of <30 ng/mL, it was not a statistically significant factor for decreased BMD.

Conclusion

In our study, the levels of vitamin D did not seem to have an important impact on BMD. Conversely, FC, magnesium and lean mass are important factors, suggesting that good control of disease, adequate magnesium intake and increased lean mass can have a good impact on bone metabolism in patients with IBD.

Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que todos los ítems presentaron discriminación significativa, puesto que en todos los casos la significación alcanzada estuvo por debajo del 1%, todos los ítems lograron agruparse en un solo factor, con lo cual se concluyó que el instrumento posee validez de constructo. Finalmente, la confiabilidad alcanzada fue 0,852 superior a 0,7 y la eliminación de algún ítem no logró reducir significativamente el nivel de confiabilidad, con lo cual se estableció que el instrumento presenta una confiabilidad adecuada.

Objetivo: Establecer la incidencia del ciclo de conversión del efectivo en la liquidez de la empresa industrial Damar G&L S.A.C de Lima, durante los periodos 2016 al 2019. Método: El estudio presentó un enfoque cuantitativo con un alcance correlacional de corte transversal, utilizando un diseño no experimental. El método aplicado para la recolección de los datos fue el análisis documental; como población de estudio se utilizó datos de los registros contables de cuentas por cobrar, inventarios y cuentas por pagar de la empresa, estructurados en 48 estados financieros mensualizados. Resultados: Los resultados evidencian una relación mínima no significativa entre el ciclo de conversión del efectivo y la liquidez (Rho = .075, p = .614) correspondiente a los periodos en estudio; asimismo, los indicadores de la variable independiente, periodo de rotación de cuentas por cobrar, periodo de rotación de inventarios y periodo de rotación de cuentas por pagar, muestran una relación débil (Rho = .201, -.267, .086) en la prueba ácida, con un nivel de significancia mayor al 5%. Conclusión: Se concluye que durante el periodo comprendido 2016 al 2019 de la empresa en estudio, el ciclo de conversión del efectivo no incide directamente en la liquidez.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue establecer la diferencia en la magnitud de los Esquemas Desadaptativos Tempranos (EDT) en muestras clínicas, 136 participantes con síntomas y 135 sin síntomas de depresión, así como evaluar la asociación entre los síntomas de depresión y los EDT. El muestreo fue no probabilístico intencional, contando con 125 hombres y 146 mujeres, atendidas en un hospital especializado en salud mental, previo al diagnóstico. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: Cuestionario de Esquemas de Young-Versión Breve (YSQ-S3) y el Inventario de Depresión de Beck II (IDB-II). Los resultados evidenciaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos (p< .05) en las cinco dimensiones y sus respectivos esquemas (18), el tamaño de estas fue de pequeñas a grandes, con valores rbis entre .23 a .64; evidenciando que los esquemas se presentan en mayor magnitud en la muestra con síntomas de depresión. Se confirmó la asociación positiva estadísticamente significativa entre las cinco dimensiones, 17 EDT y los síntomas de depresión, la fuerza de la asociación fue moderada en dos dimensiones y dos EDT y la mínima necesaria para presentar interdependencia entre las variables en tres dimensiones y 15 EDT con coeficientes de determinación que iban de .044 a .383; observándose que los esquemas se presentan más graves en cuanto se presenten síntomas de depresión más intensos; sin embargo esta asociación no se cumplió en el esquema Normas inalcanzables, ya que el plantearse límites inaccesibles, requiere de una alta concentración y exigencia continua lo que no se condice con los síntomas de depresión.

Las enfermedades crónicas pediátricas tienen una alta tasa de prevalencia en Argentina, sin embargo, poco se ha estudiado acerca de las competencias profesionales necesarias para la intervención en estos casos, que resultan ser importantes para alcanzar objetivos terapéuticos. El objetivo de este estudio fue indagar la relación entre la empatía y las habilidades comunicativas en profesionales de la salud que trabajan con pacientes pediátricos con enfermedades crónicas. El muestreo fue por conveniencia y compuesta por 146 profesionales de la salud de género femenino (M = 37,22; DE = 9,83). Las variables son evaluadas de manera online a través del Índice de Reactividad Interpersonal, la Escala de Habilidades Comunicativas en Profesionales de la Salud y un Cuestionario Sociodemográfico ad-hoc. Los resultados alcanzados señalan una correlación parcial entre las variables de estudio ya que, si bien los constructos totales de empatía y habilidades comunicativas no han correlacionado significativamente, sí es posible observar una asociación significativa entre las siguientes subdimensiones: por un lado, toma de perspectiva (empatía) y respeto (habilidades comunicativas) (r= .193) y, por el otro, malestar personal y habilidades sociales (r= .274), componentes de la empatía y de las habilidades comunicativas respectivamente . Como conclusión, se resalta el valor de los vínculos construidos con los pacientes pediátricos que, sostenidos sobre la base de un desempeño profesional asertivo empático y comunicativo, podría convertirse en un potencial recurso terapéutico.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo comprobar la eficacia de un programa de tratamiento cognitivo conductual con enfoque de género en hombres agresores en la relación de pareja. La muestra estuvo conformada por 48 hombres que están denunciados por violencia contra su pareja y que han sido forzados a llevar a cabo tratamiento psicológico por orden judicial. La mayoría de los cuales fueron adultos, sin antecedentes de psicopatología grave, laboralmente activos, con antecedentes de violencia en su familia de origen y sin problemas de consumo de alcohol, la mitad de los mismos con solo educación primaria y secundaria. Evaluados antes y después del tratamiento con la Escala de Tácticas de Conflictos (CTS-2), el Inventario de Pensamientos Distorsionados hacia la Mujer y la Violencia (IPMV) y la Escala de Atribución de Responsabilidad y Minimización (IRM). Se analizaron los datos con la prueba t para muestras relacionadas, reportándose el tamaño del efecto a través del coeficiente Delta de Glass. Los resultados indican que el programa del tratamiento fue eficaz en disminuir de manera significativa la frecuencia de conducta violenta, las atribuciones de responsabilidad y las distorsiones cognitivas referentes tanto a la mujer como al uso de la violencia.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la estructura interna de la escala “Falta de Personal”. Los participantes fueron 201 trabajadores de ambos géneros del sector retail de una empresa peruana. El análisis de estructura interna evidenció un mejor ajuste para el modelo de dos factores correlacionados de la escala, “Falta de mano de obra” y “Falta de experticia”, coincidiendo con la definición del constructo realizada por sus creadoras, Hudson y Shen (2015). El análisis de la confiabilidad se realizó a través del método de consistencia interna, obteniéndose valores de ω = .77 y ω = .78, respectivamente. En conclusión, los resultados evidencian soporte a la estructura de dos factores correlacionados.
Estrés en el trastorno límite de la personalidad
Authors: Pacheco Cristóbal
Published: July 2021

La elaboración de un enfoque de la experiencia de estrés en las personas que presentan un trastorno límite de la personalidad es un reto importante, basado en la selección de una metodología que permita captar la cronología y las características de la experiencia particular que se produce durante el desarrollo de una situación de estrés. Para la presente investigación se ha considerado la realización de entrevistas microfenomenológicas a 3 participantes que presentan un trastorno límite de la personalidad, a modo de favorecer la articulación de una estructura de la experiencia vivida, organizada desde la perspectiva prereflexiva. Los supuestos teóricos y metodológicos considerados se basan en los planteamientos de Pierre Vermesch (1994) y su respectiva adaptación al contexto clínico desarrollado por Petitmengin (2006, 2007). La entrevista microfenomenológica, parte del supuesto de que gran parte de la experiencia, pasa desapercibida en nuestra conciencia inmediata, la experiencia subjetiva de algo que sentimos, olemos o percibimos o experimentamos, no puede ser accedida inmediatamente desde nuestra conciencia reflexiva o el desarrollo de descripciones verbales (Petitmengin, Remillieux y Valenzuela-Moguillansky, 2019). La presente investigación compromete el desarrollo de una visión organizada de la vinculación con una situación estresante, a partir de una comprensión diacrónica y sincrónica, desarrollando elementos que aporten claridad y posibles nuevos retos de investigación en el presente tema. Como resultados, se han obtenido indicadores asociados a la presencia de alteraciones a nivel físico, emocional y sensorial, lo cual expone que la vivencia de estrés en el presente grupo, se asocia a una experiencia holística que abarca íntegramente distintas esferas del desarrollo individual.
