Authors: Zhai Zu Wei , Hoff Rani A. , Magruder Caitlin F. , Steinberg Marvin A. , Wampler Jeremy , Krishnan-Sarin Suchitra , Potenza Marc N. 
Published: September 2019

Background and aims
A recent call to action highlighted the need to understand the relationship between problem gambling, violence, and health/functioning. As weapon-carrying and gambling behaviors are prevalent in adolescents, this study systematically examined relationships between weapon-carrying status and measures of problem gambling severity and gambling perceptions and attitudes, as well as how weapon-carrying status moderated relationships between problem gambling severity and measures of health/functioning and gambling behavior.

Methods
Participants were 2,301 Connecticut high-school adolescents. χ2 and logistic regression models were conducted.

Results
Weapon-carriers reported greater problem gambling severity, more permissive gambling perceptions, greater parental approval of gambling, and more family gambling concerns, compared to non-weapon-carriers. At-risk/problem gambling was more strongly associated with family, peers, and adult gambling partners among non-weapon-carriers (vs. weapon-carriers) and with machine gambling among weapon-carriers (vs. non-weapon-carriers).

Discussion and conclusions
Greater problem gambling severity and more permissive gambling perceptions and perceived parental approval of gambling in weapon-carrying adolescents suggest that parent–child relationships are important to be considered in prevention efforts. The moderated relationship by weapon-carrying status between problem gambling severity and gambling partners suggests a problem gambling risk group that may be less linked to gambling with traditional social support groups, and this group may benefit from targeted interventions.

Published: September 2019

Background and aims
Cybersex is increasingly associated with concerns about compulsive use. The aim of this study was to assess the roles of motives and sexual desire in the compulsive use of cybersex.

Methods
The sample consisted of 306 cybersex users (150 men and 156 women). The participants were assessed using the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) adapted for cybersex, the Cybersex Motives Questionnaire (enhancement, coping, and social motives), and the Sexual Desire Inventory-2 (dyadic and solitary sexual desire).

Results
For both genders, coping motive was associated with CIUS score. For women, an additional association with social motives was found whereas an association with sexual desire was found for men.

Conclusion
The study showed gender differences in the contributors to sex-related CIUS scores.
La intangibilidad de las cooperativas como ventaja competitiva
Authors: Ruiz-Guerra Ignacio , Molina-Moreno Valentín 
Published: September 2019

El éxito competitivo de las empresas proviene, como ya anunciaban Navas y Urbina (2002), de los activos intangibles por la identificación y medición, lo cual ha resultado ser imprescindible para las organizaciones a fin de desarrollar una evaluación correcta de sus procesos productivos. La valorización de los procesos productivos y del área de gestión de las cooperativas no se hace ajeno a este proceder, ni reciben el valor que merecen, ya que tampoco el sector cooperativo ha valorizado su posicionamiento en el entorno productivo en el que se mueve y lo que ello conlleva. Sin embargo, hoy en día las estrategias de las empresas y de las cooperativas precisan de un correcto y acertado conocimiento de la intangibilidad de los propios productos, y de lo que conlleva la actividad de las cooperativas en los entornos en los que se mueven. Los activos intangibles se están convirtiendo en la clave del éxito competitivo de las empresas, por lo que su identificación, medición y evaluación es un estudio relevante e, incluso ahora, imprescindible para las organizaciones. En este artículo se han elegido las cooperativas de la provincia de Toledo como ejemplo de potencialidad de aplicación de estrategias de valoración de intangibles, en tanto herramienta de ventaja competitiva ante la apertura de nuevos canales de comercialización internacionales.

Published: September 2019

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic data, complication rates of children who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and to question family satisfaction.Materials and Methods: Demographic information, underlying diseases, anthropometric measurements before and after PEG and z scores advanced complications due to processing and follow-up periods were obtained from patient files.Results: In three years, 21 patients underwent PEG procedures. The median age of the patients was 74 months. The majority of the cases consisted of children with neurological, oncological and metabolic diseases (71.4%, 14.3% and 14.3%, respectively). There was a statistically significant increase between baseline and 6th month and between baseline and 12th month of the all antropometric measures z scores. But no significant difference was observed between 6th month and 12th month of the median weight and height z scores. Parents' opinions about PEG were positive. After the procedure, one patient had ostomy leakage and three patients had local stoma infection. Conclusion: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a very successful and reliable method in children and adolescents as well as in infants. Families' opinions on PEG after the procedure were positive.
A New State‐of‐the‐Art Platform for Probabilistic and Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment
Authors: Candia Gabriel , Macedo Jorge , Jaimes Miguel A. , Magna‐Verdugo Carolina 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTA new computational platform for seismic hazard assessment is presented. The platform, named SeismicHazard, allows characterizing the intensity, uncertainty, and likelihood of ground motions from subduction‐zone (shallow interface and intraslab) and crustal‐zone earthquakes, considering site‐specific as well as regional‐based assessments. The platform is developed as an object‐oriented MATLAB graphical user interface, and it features several state‐of‐the‐art capabilities for probabilistic and deterministic (scenario‐based) seismic hazard assessment. The platform integrates the latest developments in performance‐based earthquake engineering for seismic hazard assessment, including seismic zonation models, ground‐motion models (GMMs), ground‐motion correlation structures, and the estimation of design spectra (uniform hazard spectra, classical conditional mean spectrum (CMS) for a unique tectonic setting). In addition to these standard capabilities, the platform supports advanced features, not commonly found in existing seismic hazard codes, such as (a) computation of source parameters from earthquake catalogs, (b) vector‐probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, (c) hazard evaluation based on conditional GMMs and user‐defined GMMs, (d) uncertainty treatment in the median ground motions through continuous GMM distributions, (e) regional shaking fields, and (f) estimation of CMS considering multiple GMMs and multiple tectonic settings. The results from the platform have been validated against accepted and well‐documented benchmark solutions.
Rapid Earthquake Association and Location
Authors: Zhang Miao , Ellsworth William L. , Beroza Gregory C. 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTRapid association of seismic phases and event location are crucial for real‐time seismic monitoring. We propose a new method, named rapid earthquake association and location (REAL), for associating seismic phases and locating seismic events rapidly, simultaneously, and automatically. REAL combines the advantages of both pick‐based and waveform‐based detection and location methods. It associates arrivals of different seismic phases and locates seismic events primarily through counting the number of P and S picks and secondarily from travel‐time residuals. A group of picks are associated with a particular earthquake if there are enough picks within the theoretical travel‐time windows. The location is determined to be at the grid point with the most picks, and if multiple locations have the same maximum number of picks, the grid point among them with smallest travel‐time residuals. We refine seismic locations using a least‐squares location method (VELEST) and a high‐precision relative location method (hypoDD). REAL can be used for rapid seismic characterization due to its computational efficiency. As an example application, we apply REAL to earthquakes in the 2016 central Apennines, Italy, earthquake sequence occurring during a five‐day period in October 2016, midway in time between the two largest earthquakes. We associate and locate more than three times as many events (3341) as are in Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology routine catalog (862). The spatial distribution of these relocated earthquakes shows a similar but more concentrated pattern relative to the cataloged events. Our study demonstrates that it is possible to characterize seismicity automatically and quickly using REAL and seismic picks.
Healing by Logos: Christian Aspects of Certain Modern Psycho-Pedagogical Practices
Authors: Popovkin A. V. , Popovkina G. S. 
Published: September 2019

Introduction.At present, psychotherapeutic practices based on theological and philosophical ideas about the human logos nature have become widespread. The human logos nature is not only expressed in the human ability to make articulated speech, but also in common characteristic for homo sapiens occupation – search for meaning in life and meaning of various events and situations, in which an individual finds himself or herself, and, the acts, which he or she performs. Similar types of psychotherapy include logotherapy, some types of cognitive-behavioural therapy and the methodology of the Russian teacher S. A. Rachinsky. These methods and practices can be called psycho-pedagogical and, also, can be considered as a separate area of pedagogy, because unlike classical psychological practices (often practicing ethical relativism), they recognise and promote traditional moral and spiritual values of Christianity.The aimof the present article is to consider attitudinal grounds and content characteristics of psychological practices based on religious and philosophical ideas about the human logos nature, from a pedagogical point of view, as the task of education and self-education.Methodology and research methods. The theoretical framework of the research was based on the explified philosophical and theological doctrines, as well as on academic writings of V. Frankl (founder of logotherapy) and M. Scheler (founder of philosophical anthropology). The empirical base consists of the materials of available documents and published sources of information, as well as of the materials obtained in the course of surveys and unformalised interviews with teachers and psychologists practicing church-psychological methods for the healing of psycho-somatic disorders and the correction of behavioural patterns. The collected and summarised information was processed by the methods of philosophical and anthropological analysis.Results and scientific novelty. For the first time, an attempt was made to describe and analyse the methods of psychological-corrective work and spiritual-moral education, representing a synthesis of psychological practices, Christian value-ideological and theological concepts. The particular examples of effective implementation of these methods are described: the school of cognitive-behavioural therapy in Vladivostok, organised by Archpriest Rostislav Moroz; the technique to heal stuttering according to the method of S. A. Rachinsky, innovatively applied by Hieromonk Ioannes (Zayats) in Kamchatka. The main result of the study is the identification of modern aspects for improving psycho-pedagogical methods in church-theological reception.Practical significance. The authors’ conclusions and research materials on modern methods of psychological correction of behavioural and psychophysiological disorders can be used when developing and designing the courses of cognitivebehavioural therapy, treatment of stuttering, in practical psycho-educational support and social work.
The Implementation of Emotionally-Valuable Component of the Content of Foreign-Language Education (on the Material of Study Course “Spotlight”). Part II
Authors: Tatarinova M. N. , Sungurova O. V. 
Published: September 2019

Introduction. The revaluation of the tasks and results of school foreign-language education in our country updated the role of the emotionally-valuable component (EVC) of the content of foreign-language courses. There is broad agreement that the compliance of its criteria today is the most important prerequisite of foreign languages viability.The aimof this article is to provide a scientific answer to the question if there is necessary background for the implementation of the EVC of the content of foreign-language education in the current study course “Spotlight”.Methodology and research methods. As the fundamental methodological tool the emotionally-valuable (axiological) approach to the study was applied. A number of complementary methods were used: a theoretical systemic-structural and comparative analysis; an analytical experiment – the content-analysis of the current English-language study course for a secondary school; a constructive (creative) experiment (experiential learning); a method and principles of visibility (a tabular and graphical presentation of information); methods of mathematical statistics.Results and scientific novelty. It is proved that the EVC in the linear structure of the school subject “A foreign-language” is able to ensure an integral formation of a student’s personality with developed intellectual, volitional and emotionally-valuable spheres. A practical implementation of this component is possible through students’ work with speech patterns of emotionally-valuable context. The indicators of emotional value of teaching materials are selected. The contentanalysis of the text library of the study course “Spotlight” showed that it does not fully meet the requirements for super-phrasal units of the EVC, intended to maintain an appropriate level of language skills and encourage the acquisition of various kinds of foreign-language speech activities: speaking, listening, reading and written speech. Therefore, additional adjustment of a number of speech samples is required in order to create all the necessary background for the exploitation of the EVC of the school programme content at different stages of foreign-language training. The results of experiential learning a foreign language, involving carefully selected texts of a sufficient and high degree of emotional value, and the use by teachers of special techniques of work, adequate to the axiological potential of speech samples, prove the appropriateness of such an approach to the organisation of an educational process. The axiological orientation of the training content significantly improves students’ speech activities and contributes to the development of their emotionally-valuable relations with the surrounding world.Practical significance. The materials in this publication may be in demand when making constructive changes and additions to the content and technologies of school foreign-language education.

Published: September 2019

Introduction. Today, official international and State Russian documents require ensuring equal access to quality education for all citizens regardless of place of residence and social status. In this regard, it becomes relevant to determine the quality of school environment and its potential in terms of compliance with the requirements of delivery of quality education services for all representatives of the oncoming generation.The aim of the present research is to study the educational environment of Moscow schools in the context of ensuring equal access to quality education.Methodology and research methods. An international assessment tool – the SACERS scale – was chosen as the main method of the research. The SACERS scale was modified by the employees of Laboratory of Educational Infrastructures of the Institute of System Projects of Moscow City University (MCU). The data were processed using descriptive statistics methods, dispersion and regression analysis, T-student’s criterion in the modification of Welch.Results and scientific novelty. On the basis of random sample (22 educational complexes), the peculiarities of educational conditions in different Moscow schools were diagnosed; the quality index of their educational environment and its structural components were determined (n = 58). The study sample revealed the “heterogeneity” of secondary educational establishments in the organisation of the subject-spatial environment of schools, extracurricular activities and additional education, as well as availability of educational infrastructure for students with special educational needs. Sufficiently equal indicators of educational conditions were identified: “Attendance”, “Space for Gross Motor Activities”, “Discipline”, “Peer Interactions”, “Interactions between Staff and Parents”, “Opportunities for Professional Growth”. Six “homogeneous” and ten “inhomogeneous” complexes were revealed in the studied sample. In “homogeneous” complexes, there are educational conditions, which provide relatively equal access to quality education, as compared with “heterogeneous” complexes. This fact is confirmed by the range of values of the quality index of the educational environment and the values of standard deviation.Practical significance. The present research allowed the authors to obtain a differentiated understanding of the existing educational conditions of Moscow schools, which formed the basis to solve the management problem in the development of education system, which guarantees quality education for all students.

AbstractA formative experience oriented towards development of didactic-mathematical knowledge on probability and associated notions withmathematics teachers working of Fundamental Education in Brazil is described. Theoretical tools from the “onto-semiotic approach ofmathematical knowledge and instruction” are used to design and analyze the formative experience. The phases of a didactic design based on this theoretical framework are shown composing the main thread of the developed experience. In the same way, the categories of common,advanced and specialized knowledge, from the mathematics teacher’s didactic-mathematical knowledge model, are applied. The formativemodel designed, especially the sequence of proposed activities and their a priori analysis, is a contribution allowing to support and educateadequately mathematics teachers on the specific issue of probability and its didactic.Keywords: Teacher Education.

Published: September 2019

Cuando el alumnado universitario está motivado y las necesidades psicológicas básicas (i.e. autonomía, relación con los demás y competencia) están satisfechas, consigue un rendimiento académico más eficaz. Este estudio pretendía conocer el impacto de un modelo de formación basado en el aprendizaje experiencial sobre la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas de futuros maestros de Educación Física. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 39 estudiantes matriculados en la asignatura de Actividades Motrices y Recreativas en la Naturaleza de 4º de Grado en Maestro de Educación Primaria con mención en Educación Física en la Facultad de Formación del Profesorado, de los cuales 18 eran mujeres (46.2%) y 21 (53.8%) hombres, con edades comprendidas entre 21 y 28 años (M = 22.62; DE = 1.73). Comparando los resultados antes-después de cursar la asignatura, se encontraron mejoras significativas en la satisfacción de la relación con los demás (p=0.002) y autonomía (p=0.039). La competencia percibida también aumentó, pero no significativamente (p=0.069). Atendiendo al género, aunque tanto hombres como mujeres mejoraron, sólo se encontraron mejoras estadísticamente significativas en las mujeres en la satisfacción de la relación con los demás (p=0.006). A la vista de los resultados, en la educación superior, parece interesante orientar las estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje hacia el impulso de estudiantes reflexivos sobre su acción. Un modelo de formación de futuros maestros basado en vivencias educativas en el medio natural, favorece la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, particularmente y de forma significativa, autonomía y la relación con los demás.
