Engaging with discovery science: expanding the conversation within the science communication community
Authors: Borchelt Rick
Published: October 2024

Many of us who engage with or communicate about discovery science — sometimes called curiosity-driven research or basic research — have grown increasingly concerned in recent years by the disproportionate attention to applied science, medicine, and technology, seemingly at the expense of basic science. This concern led to the creation of a joint U.S. Department of Energy-Kavli Foundation initiative, the Science Public Engagement Partnership (SciPEP) to catalyze and advance scholarship and practice specifically about communicating discovery science. This special issue is one outcome of that effort. In this issue, readers will find scholarship, practice, and thought leadership that explore the many different communication modes for sharing discovery science employed by scientists, their institutions, and the communicators who work with them. The issue also suggests ways to support basic scientists in identifying and clarifying their goals and audiences depending on what and with whom they are communicating.

Authors: Du Xinnan , Peterman Karen , Besley John , Black-Maier Allison
Published: October 2024

Assessing the impact of public engagement with science (PES) programs has been a long-standing challenge due to the lack of explicit, audience-specific goals and a related lack of evaluation against goal-relevant outcomes. In this practice insight, we present the strategic planning and evaluation process for PES at KIPAC, detailing the steps of setting and assessing long-term behavioral goals, short-term objectives, and tactics. We provide examples to demonstrate the implementation of the strategic plan, and make recommendations for practitioners at the individual, program, and institutional levels to strategize, conduct, and sustain their PES efforts with intention.

Authors: Toyib Muchammad , Pramesti Gebrina Ayu , Herachwati Nuri
Published: October 2024

This practice insight examines the Surabaya Astronomy Club (SAC) and its innovative approach to science communication and public engagement in Indonesia. Through organized star parties and community outreach, SAC leverages astronomy to foster public interest and enhance scientific literacy. The club's activities are deeply influenced by Indonesia's cultural and social context, emphasizing communal participation and integrating scientific phenomena with traditional and religious practices. Despite its successes, SAC faces challenges such as limited resources and the need for more systematic evaluation. Recommendations for improvement include expanding resource acquisition, adopting robust evaluation methodologies, enhancing inclusivity, and maintaining high-quality engagement. By partnering with governmental bodies and community organizations, SAC bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and public policy, demonstrating astronomy's relevance to societal issues and fostering a more informed and engaged public.
The Hopes and Fears Lab: enabling dialogue on discovery science
Authors: Milne Richard , Galloway Catherine , Rashid Mariam , Boraschi Daniela , Burch Claudette , Middleton Anna
Published: October 2024

In this Practice Insight, we consider challenges associated with dialogue-based public engagement with discovery science, related to a focus on application, the need for short-term policy impact, and the lack of conceptual attention to dialogue. We consider potential responses to these through our initial evaluation of The Hopes and Fears Lab engagement project. We suggest the potential value of foregrounding emotional connections with science for both researchers and members of the public, and the need for as much attention to be paid to the preparatory work and settings for dialogue as to the dialogue itself.
COMPARATIVE METHODS FOR PROCESSING PLATELET LYSATE
Authors: Rawson Benjamin , Harris David , Torres Harrison
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Platelets play an important role in numerous physiologic processes through the release of bioactive proteins and growth factors contained in the α granules. These proteins can be collected after physical and chemical processes stimulate their release from platelets. After filtration, this solution contains concentrated growth factors and is then referred to as platelet lysate (PL). Among the several methods used to produce PL, no method has been established as superior in producing the highest concentration of growth factors. This study evaluated six methods of producing PL including CaCl2, freeze-thaw methods at −80˚ C and at −40˚ C, ozone exposure, USb, and USp, along with an “un-activated” Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sample served as a control. Our goal was to evaluate each sample to determine which method produced thehighest concentration of growth factors.
Methods: PRP was produced from whole blood and subsequently divided into seven samples. One sample served as a control while the other six were used to produce PL by different methods, including ultrasonic probe homogenization, ultrasonic bath homogenization, freeze-thaw at −80˚ C, freeze-thaw at −40˚ C, addition of calcium chloride, and ozone administration.
Outcome measures: The concentration of six growth factors were measured using digital enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from the produced samples.
Results: PL produced by ultrasonic bath produced the highest concentrations of BDNF, EGF HB-EGF, PDGF-BB, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). PL produced by ultrasonic probe produced the highest concentration of IL-1 RA. The concentration of growth factors produced by the ultrasonic bath and probe methods did not differ significantly. The growth factors found in the freeze-thaw methods did not statistically differ from control. Ozone was the least effective at releasing measurable growth factors from PRP. The calcium chloride method resulted in a clotted sample which inhibited growth factor analysis.
Conclusion: The results of this study support the effectiveness of ultrasound homogenization in releasing growth factors from PRP over other current activation methods.

Entre Góngora y Menéndez Pelayo
Authors: Artigas Ferrando Miguel , de la Hoz Regules Jerónimo
Published: October 2024

Se analiza la figura de Miguel Jerónimo Artigas Ferrando (Blesa, 1887 - Madrid, 1947), que fue el primer director de la Biblioteca de Menéndez Pelayo (BMP) entre 1915 y 1930, enmarcada en los hitos culturales del momento en que participó. Luego dirigió la Biblioteca Nacional hasta su fallecimiento. Gracias a su formación como filólogo y bibliotecario, sus estancias en Alemania becado por la JAE, su vínculo con el Centro de Estudios Históricos, así como su puesto de responsabilidad en ambas entidades, dio a conocer la inmensa obra de Menéndez Pelayo conservando y difundiendo su legado. Para ello, uno de sus logros fue la edición de las Obras Completas del sabio. Otro de sus logros fue crear, en torno a la BMP, una escuela de hispanismo, artífice del lanzamiento de Santander como ciudad universitaria, por medio de los Cursos de Verano, inicialmente para extranjeros, y pronto con la creación de un Colegio Mayor universitario, germen de la futura Universidad Internacional. En la labor de Artigas destacan dos vertientes: un Artigas bibliotecario y estudioso de Menéndez Pelayo, cuyo fruto serán múltiples conferencias y publicaciones, destacando sus libros, “Menéndez y Pelayo” (1927) y “La vida y la obra de Menéndez Pelayo” (1939); y un Artigas filólogo, que publica sobre la obra de Góngora, contribuyendo al redescubrimiento del poeta cordobés, lo que le proporcionó un premio de la RAE por “Don Luis de Góngora y Argote. Biografía y estudio crítico” (1925) y en 1927 el Premio Nacional de Literatura. En 1930 pasó a dirigir la Biblioteca Nacional y en 1933 es elegido para ocupar un sillón de la Academia de la Lengua.

Published: October 2024

En la humanidad resulta indispensable el consumo de energía para la ejecución de las actividades de la vida cotidiana, tradicionalmente y debido a su fácil extracción se acostumbra a usar combustibles fósiles (carbón, petróleo y gas natural) como principal fuente de energía. Debido a que las fuentes fósiles son no renovables y al deterioro ocasionado al medio ambiente relacionados con la generación de gases tóxicos, contaminación de suelos y de aguas con sus respectivas consecuencias, el hombre se ha dado a la tarea de encontrar alternativas para suplir la necesidad de energía; buscando en los recursos naturales renovables nuevas fuentes de generación que permita su aprovechamiento y reduzca el impacto ambiental negativo. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar los diferentes tipos de energías alternativas que se obtienen a partir de diversos recursos naturales renovables como: el sol, el viento, las mareas, el agua, entre otros, que generan desarrollo a pesar de tener un nivel de contaminación bajo.
Evaluating the critical factors of tax evasion in business tax using a novel network decision support model
Authors: Yang Yeh-Cheng , Shieh Wen-Sheng , Lin Chun-Yueh
Published: October 2024

This study developed an expert network evaluation framework to assess the
critical factors contributing to tax evasion in business tax. First, the
framework established a network comprising three perspectives and fifteen
indicators through the modified Delphi method (MDM). Then, the analytic
network process (ANP) was applied to determine the relative weights of the
evaluative criteria. Finally, the application of the framework ranked the
critical factors of tax evasion in business tax. As a result, tax
authorities can utilize this novel framework to integrate key factors, set
thresholds, and detect suspicious tax evasion activities, thereby promoting
tax fairness. The proposed framework enhances the efficiency of authorities
and governments in evaluating suspicious tax evasion cases. Academically, it
addresses a gap in research by applying network concepts and methodologies
to assess suspicious tax evasion activities. Commercially, the model aids in
diagnosing and evaluating key factors influencing tax evasion in the
business sector.

A Novel Isolation Technique Using Polytetrafluoroethylene Tape and Split Dam Isolation for Cementation in Bridge Restorations
Authors: Tsuruta T , Odagiri Y , Tsujimoto A
Published: October 2024

Objective:

This case report presents a novel technique for bridge restoration using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape and split dam isolation in situations where achieving complete dental dam isolation is challenging.

Clinical Considerations:

Achieving high-quality isolation by controlling gingival crevicular fluid and intraoral relative humidity is important during cementation. However, an improved technique during bridge restoration is needed due to the difficulties faced with dental dam isolation. A porcelain fused to zirconia bridge extending from the maxillary canine to the first molar was used to demonstrate the novel restoration technique in this case report. Split dam isolation lowers the relative humidity in the oral cavity, and PTFE blocks the gingival crevicular fluid. The effects of combining PTFE tape with split dam isolation on isolation (controlling crevicular fluid, saliva, and relative humidity in the operative field) were similar to those obtained with dental dam isolation and made for easier removal of excess cement.

Conclusions:

The novel technique introduced in this case report can enhance isolation quality during bridge restoration.
Buonocore Memorial Lecture 2023: Longevity of Dental Restorations or Longevity of Teeth: What Matters?
Authors: Opdam NJM , Montagner AF , Cenci MS
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to raise a discussion from the perspective of maintaining long-term oral health, posing a critical question: What holds greater significance for maintaining oral health, the longevity of restorations or teeth? This question explores the aspects that truly matter in ensuring sustained oral health throughout an individual’s life. Restoration longevity is well-researched, and evidence shows several risk factors influencing longevity. The dentist’s decision-making factor may be of utmost importance, and further studies are needed to investigate its relevance. The critical risk factors for restoration longevity are active pathology (high caries risk), less prominent parafunction, and extensive defects such as endodontic treatment. However, tooth longevity and the main risk factors for tooth loss are not well-researched. The evidence shows dental caries, and its sequelae, are the principal reasons for tooth loss. Patient-related risk factors, especially those associated with lifestyle and health choices, play a major role in the longevity of restorations and, more importantly, tooth longevity. To provide personalized dental care with maximum patient benefit, clinicians should identify and record potential risk factors, promoting a healthy lifestyle to ensure tooth and dentition longevity. Moreover, the evidence suggests that decision-making frameworks based on minimal intervention principles offer the best standard for clinical practice, promoting a longstanding healthy oral environment.
Role of Sodium Nitroprusside in Primary PCI
Authors: Emara Haytham
Published: October 2024

Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a potent vasodilator with a rapid onset and short duration of action, has traditionally been used to manage acute hypertension in emergency settings. Its mechanism of action involves the release of nitric oxide (NO), leading to vascular smooth muscle relaxation. This article reviews the evolving role of SNP in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While SNP has demonstrated benefits in improving coronary flow and left ventricular function, concerns about potential ischemic injury through “coronary steal” effect necessitate careful consideration. Recent studies highlight its effectiveness in resolving no-reflow phenomena during PCI without significant adverse effects, suggesting that SNP can be a valuable adjunct in the management of AMI. The review also compares SNP with adenosine, another agent used during PCI, providing insights into their relative efficacy and safety profiles.

Geologic reservoirs, including sandstones, can serve as sites for underground hydrogen storage (UHS). However, for a successful commercial application, a more detailed knowledge of the rock–pore-water–hydrogen gas (H2) systems is necessary. In this combined experimental-modeling study, the geochemical impact of H2 on K-feldspar was investigated. Static batch reactor experiments were conducted under pressure and temperature conditions of potential UHS to track the effect of H2 on K-feldspar. The experimental data show a negligible reactivity of K-feldspar. The kinetic PHREEQC model predicts the dissolution of K-feldspar to a similar extent as suggested by the experimental observations. Findings of this study show that the K-feldspar–H2 interaction is marginal. The results mark clear progress in understanding the chemical changes in polymineralic reservoir rock matrix during hydrogen injection processes.
A magmás petrográfia megszületésétől a kvantitatív kőzettani kutatásokig – tisztelgés Szabó Csaba munkássága előtt
Authors: Harangi Szabolcs
Published: October 2024

Szabó Csaba az ELTE TTK Kőzettan-Geokémiai Tanszék munkatársaként tovább vitte Szabó József és Mauritz Béla szakmai örökségét, és meghatározó szerepet játszott a hazai és határon túli magmás kőzettani iskola eredményességében. Diákjainak nemcsak a mikroszkópos kőzettani és petrográfiai, majd a geokémiai alaptudást adta át, hanem a motivációt is a felfedező és alkalmazott kutatás felé. Az általa alapított Litoszféra Kutatócsoport, későbbi nevén Litoszféra Fluidum Kutatólaboratórium számos hazai és nemzetközi szinten is sikeres, többek között Lendület- és ERC-pályázatot nyert szak­embert adott a földtudománynak. Az alábbi rövid tudománytörténeti összefoglaló tisztelgés oktatói és iskolateremtői munkássága előtt. A petrográfia kialakulása az első kőzettani vékonycsiszolat és az első polarizációs mikroszkóp megal­ko­tásával, majd a mikroszkópos leíró kőzettan tudományterülete forradalmi változást hozott a földtudományban. A mű­sze­res analitikai módszerek fejlődésével, a kőzettani és geokémiai vizsgálatok, valamint a termodinamika és a kísérleti kőzettani eredmények integrálásával jött létre a magmás folyamatokat, azok körülményeit számszerűsíteni is tudó kvan­ti­tatív kőzettan. Ezáltal jobban értjük a földköpeny és földkéreg kialakulását és fejlődését, az új tudományos felfogás új perspektívát nyitott a vulkáni működés megértésében is, például a vulkánok alatti magmatározók természetének és fo­lya­ma­tainak feltárásában. A kőzettani vulkanológia segítségével leírhatók a vulkánkitöréshez vezető folyamatok, beleértve ezek időtartalmát is. Eredményei így hozzájárulnak fontos, a társadalmakat is érintő hatások feltárásához, például a ter­mé­szeti veszélyhelyzetek előrejelzésének és kezelésének jobbításához, ami emberi életeket és anyagi javakat óvhat meg.

Discursive study of religion in the postsecular society: concepts and problems
Authors: Orlov M.O. , Ivanov A.V.
Published: October 2024

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of key topics which have been developed in disciplines such as the sociology of religion and social epistemology. The article defines the essential concepts for a discursive study of religion as an analytical discipline which offers a framework to respond adequately to the challenges that the academic study of religion has been facing the consequences of the linguistic, pragmatic, cultural, and poststructuralist turns of the twentieth first century. Discourses are practices that establish, stabilize, and legitimize systems of meaning and provide collectively shared orders of knowledge in an institutionalized social ensemble. Discourse approach is perhaps the most promising outlook which allows to analyze the construction, reproduction and hegemonic transformation of social conflicts in the recent postsecular society.

Authors: Pomytkina T.Yu. , Zhuchenko O.A. , Galiahmetova N.P.
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the work is to identify the features of self-assessment of academic achievements of medical students depending on interactive teaching methods. The sample consisted of 272 6th year students of the medical and pediatric faculties (of which 76 % were women and 24 % were men) and 3 teachers of the Department of Pedagogy, Psychology and Psychosomatic Medicine of Izhevsk State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia. The study was carried out as part of the study by students of the discipline “Doctor's Communication Skills”, one of the main goals of which is to prepare for the primary accreditation of future doctors. Classes were held in the form of communicative training. All teachers actively use simulation training, but to varying degrees: one teacher focuses on the “Standardized Patient” method, the second one - on the use of a case method with situational tasks from the professional activities of doctors, the third one - actively uses both. Based on the concept of A. V. Zakharova about the types of self-assessment, the authors developed an author's questionnaire aimed at determining the self-assessment of students' academic achievements. Within its framework, the features of retrospective, actual and predictive self-assessment of the academic achievements of students were found. Statistically significant differences in the self-assessment of academic achievements of students depending on the use of interactive teaching methods were revealed. To prepare for primary accreditation, the Standardized Patient methodology is effective. For the formation of professional competencies, it is also significant to use the case method in the classroom in the form of role-playing games and group discussions. Simulation training has a positive effect on the formation of a predictive self-assessment of academic achievements, an increase in the educational and professional motivation of students, and the development of their reflective and productive thinking.

Published: October 2024

Using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), this study investigated the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, facilitating condition, lifestyle compatibility, and perceived trust on both the intention to use and adoption of an e-wallet among adults. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional research technique to collect data from 501 respondents via Google Form. The acquired data was assessed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Therefore, perceived usefulness, perceived simplicity of use, social influence, lifestyle compatibility, and perceived trust all had a strong positive impact on both intentions to use and adoption of an e-wallet. This study demonstrated that the intention to use an e-wallet mediated the links between predictors and e-wallet adoption. Respondents’ age and gender moderated the effect of lifestyle compatibility on their intention to use an e-wallet. The study’s findings can assist managers and policymakers establish successful ways that capture customers’ intention to use and experience with employing an e-wallet amid a tumultuous market. Finally, such well-crafted policies may stimulate the digital platform and web-based apps, as well as raise e-wallet acceptance rates in undeveloped countries.

This paper aims to analyze the impact of access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the private returns to higher education (HE) focusing on gender inequality in 2020. Methodology: To evaluate the above impact a set of Mincerian equations will be estimated. The proposed approach mitigates biases associated with self-selection and individual heterogeneity. Data: The database comes from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares, ENIGH) from 2020. Results: Empirical evidence suggests that individuals that have HE have a positive and greater impact on their salary income compared to those with a lower educational level, being women that do not have access to ICT those with the lowest wage return. Policy: Access to ICT should be considered as one of the criteria that integrate social deprivation in the measurement of multidimensional poverty. Likewise, it is necessary to design public policies that promote the strengthening and creation of educational and/or training systems in technological matters for women. Limitations: No distinction was made between individuals that graduated from public or private schools, nor was income from sources other than work considered. Originality: This investigation evaluates the impact of access to ICT on the returns to higher education in Mexico, in 2020, addressing gender disparity.

The rise of online gambling in Indonesia has emerged as a significant public health concern, driven by various psychological, social, and regulatory factors. Despite stringent laws prohibiting gambling, the accessibility and appeal of online platforms have led to increased participation, particularly among young adults. This phenomenon is characterized by a paradoxical sense of control that users feel while gambling online, which can lead to compulsive behaviors and addiction. The structural characteristics of online gambling platforms, including fast-paced games and easy accessibility, further exacerbate this issue. Social influences, particularly through social media and peer interactions, normalize gambling behaviors, making them more appealing to adolescents. Mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, are closely linked to online gambling addiction, as individuals may use gambling as a coping mechanism. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified these challenges, with many individuals turning to online gambling for entertainment during lockdowns. To address the growing prevalence of online gambling addiction, comprehensive regulatory frameworks are needed, alongside responsible gambling initiatives and public awareness campaigns. Collaboration among stakeholders, including government agencies, healthcare providers, and gambling operators, is crucial for effective intervention. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of online gambling trends will inform future policies and help identify emerging risks. By adopting a multifaceted approach, Indonesian policymakers and stakeholders can work towards minimizing the risks associated with online gambling and fostering a healthier environment for its citizens.
Transtorno mental comum em mulheres e seus possíveis impactos no desenvolvimento regional no Planalto Norte Catarinense

Transtorno mental comum (TMC) é uma condição de saúde que inclui sintomas não psicóticos, sofrimento mental e incapacidade funcional, podendo estar relacionado com outros transtornos comumente conhecidos, como ansiedade, depressão e bipolaridade. Prevalente em mulheres, principalmente nos grupos sociais em situação de vulnerabilidade, traz a demanda sobre o reconhecimento deste cenário de doença de acordo com o território e regionalidade, o que mundialmente é sabido que reflete sobre as medidas e estratégias em cuidado à saúde. Desta forma, objetivou-se estudar a prevalência de TMC em mulheres atendidas pelos Centros de Referencias de Assistência Social (CRAS), na Região do Planalto Norte Catarinense, bem como refletir sobre os possíveis impactos no desenvolvimento regional. Para isso, foram utilizados questionários semiestruturados, aplicados via Google Forms, para analisar dados sociodemográficos e domínios específicos no rastreamento do TMC (SRQ-20). Aqui pudemos identificar prevalência acima de 50% para o TMC. Além disso, dos dez municípios analisados, apenas dois – Bela Vista do Toldo e Papanduva – apresentaram prevalência de TMC menor que 50%. Contudo, não houve a identificação de fatores preditivos ou protetores para o TMC. Sumariamente, reconhece-se que estes achados interferem na projeção do desenvolvimento regional do território e na população em questão. Com base nestes achados preliminares sobre este cenário regional, sugere-se que sejam realizados estudos complementares que possam elucidar a prevalência de TMC também nas mulheres fora da situação de vulnerabilidade social na região do Planalto Norte Catarinense, para que assim possam ser analisados os fatores de risco e melhores estratégias em saúde para esta problemática.

Treinta años del Boletín Criminológico: inicios y consolidación
Authors: Stangeland Per , Díez Ripollés José Luis , García Magna Deborah
Published: October 2024

En junio de 1994, se publicó el primer número del Boletín Criminológico con el objetivo de difundir la investigación empírica en criminología, una disciplina que gozaba en esos momentos de escasa atención en España. La revista nació como una herramienta para dar a conocer las investigaciones empíricas realizadas principalmente en la sección de Málaga del Instituto Andaluz Interuniversitario de Criminología (IAIC), pero enseguida amplió su alcance, incluyendo trabajos de investigadores de todo el país y, gradualmente, del extranjero, ofreciendo un espacio para la publicación de estudios realizados tanto en el ámbito académicocomo en el profesional, y consolidándose como una referencia en la criminología en España. Han pasado treintaaños desde aquellos primeros números que comenzaron publicándose en papel, en un formato de 4 páginas a triple columna, muy cómodo para la consulta rápida de los contenidos, y que ha pasado por diversos cambios hasta su actual formato digital, homologado en extensión y contenidos a las exigencias de las agencias de evaluación de la calidad investigadora. A lo largo de estas tres décadas, se han publicado más de 200 artículos de muy diversas temáticas, con especial énfasis en la investigación criminológica empírica desarrollada en España y Latinoamérica. Este artículo es la introducción a un número especial que celebra este hito con la participación de personas que han colaborado con la revista a lo largo de los años, publicando sus investigaciones, formando parte de su consejo editorial o actuando como evaluadoras externas, todas ellas con trayectorias académicas o profesionales consolidadas y prestigiosas. Tras rememorar los comienzos de la revista hasta su consolidación como publicación de referencia en un área de conocimiento en expansión, este artículo presenta datos sobre la evolución de la revista (temas tratados, procedencia de los autores, perfil de los lectores, evolución del formato y diseño de la publicación, así como su impacto e indicadores de calidad) y plantea los retos que se presentan para abordar los desafíos actuales y futuros de la investigación criminológica actual.
El cyberstalking en jóvenes universitarios. Un estudio de prevalencia
Authors: Cerezo Domínguez Ana Isabel , García Cornejo Remedios
Published: October 2024

Esta investigación analiza conductas de violencia de género en las relaciones juveniles, centrándose sólo en aquella violencia que ocurre a través de las TICs. Se trata de un tema novedoso, ya que existe un importante desconocimiento científico, especialmente porque no existe unanimidad científica ni en terminología ni en conductas. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la incidencia del fenómeno en los jóvenes malagueños. Para ello, se utilizará un cuestionario en el alumnado de la Universidad de Málaga, con el fin de conocer la incidencia, tanto desde el punto de vista de la víctima como del victimario. Los resultados concluyeron que estas conductas son realizadas y recibidas por los jóvenes universitarios malagueños, siendo las conductas de control más utilizadas.

Valoración del riesgo de reincidencia en jóvenes infractoras: ¿Es el SAVRY un instrumento realmente neutro?
Authors: León Carmen M. , Bartolomé Raquel
Published: October 2024

Tradicionalmente, se ha asumido que la reincidencia delictiva entre las chicas podía predecirse y trabajarse a través de la generalización de los hallazgos encontrados en chicos o en muestras compuestas mayoritariamente por chicos. Ciertamente, las semejanzas entre chicas y chicos que delinquen y que reinciden son notables, lo que ha llevado a considerar que la gestión del riesgo puede plantearse desde una perspectiva neutral en cuanto al género. Sin embargo, también existen algunas diferencias, tanto en sus trayectorias como en los factores que las influyen, que deberían ser consideradas si, realmente, se busca una adecuada respuesta a sus necesidades. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar las diferencias entre chicas y chicos en la valoracióndel riesgo de reincidencia con un instrumento neutro, el Manual de Valoración Estructurada de Riesgo de Violencia en Jóvenes (SAVRY), en una muestra compuesta por jóvenes cumpliendo medidas judiciales de internamiento en centros de reforma ubicadosen las comunidades autónomas de Castilla- La Mancha y Cataluña (N = 179; 82,7% chicos). Los resultados muestran que, en la valoración final de riesgo de las chicas, los/as profesionales se guían por el instrumento y por los factores dinámicos que habitualmente se asocian a la conducta violenta en chicos, y no por los factores más vinculados a la violencia en chicas como son los historiales de abuso o victimización y los comportamientos autolesivos. Se discuten los hallazgos y sus implicaciones.
