Published: January 2023

This study attempts to provide evidence of the relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience, with optimism vs. pessimism as mediating variables of life satisfaction. The sample included 403 university students. The average age was 20.86 (SD= 2.56). In relation to gender, 84.61% were female and 15.39% were male participants. Information was collected by means of four tools: Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-S), Resilience Scale (RS-14), Life Orientation Test Scale Revised (LOT-R) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Regarding the association between Emotional Intelligence and Resilience, a statistically significant relationship was observed. Besides, positive relationships were found between optimism and satisfaction with life; while a negative association with pessimism was noted. The results indicate that students with a high level of emotional intelligence and resilience have higher scores in optimism and life satisfaction. Moreover, the structural equation model showed that Emotional Intelligence and resilience are able to predict higher life satisfaction directly (β= .19, and β= .26, respectively), but they may also mediate through optimism. This mediation effect did not appear with the pessimism factor. Finally, the practical implications of this study underline the need to promote emotional intelligence and resilience education programmes to improve personal well-being.
Este estudio trata de aportar pruebas sobre la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y la resiliencia, con el optimismo frente al pesimismo como variable mediadora sobre la satisfacción vital. La muestra incluyó 403 estudiantes universitarios. La edad media es de 20.86 años (SD= 2.56). En relación con el género, el 84.61% eran mujeres y el 15.39% eran hombres. La información se recogió mediante cuatro instrumentos: Escala de Inteligencia Emocional de Wong Law (WLEIS-S), Escala de Resiliencia (RS-14), Escala de Test de Orientación Vital Revisada (LOT-R) y Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS). En cuanto a la asociación entre la Inteligencia Emocional y la Resiliencia, se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa. Asimismo, se encontraron relaciones positivas entre el optimismo y la satisfacción con la vida; y negativas con el pesimismo. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes con un alto nivel de inteligencia emocional y resiliencia tienen puntuaciones más altas en optimismo y satisfacción con la vida. Además, el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales mostró que la inteligencia emocional y la resiliencia son capaces de predecir una mayor satisfacción con la vida (β= .19, y β= .26, respectivamente), pero, además, también pueden mediar a través del optimismo. Este efecto de mediación no apareció con el factor pesimismo. Finalmente, las implicaciones prácticas de este estudio subrayan la necesidad de promover programas de educación en inteligencia emocional y resiliencia para mejorar el bienestar personal.

Using a quantitative methodology and an ex-post-facto design, the present study analyzes the differences in the perception of gender roles assumed by teenage boys and girls, investigating their acceptance of gendered beliefs according to their country of origin. To do so, the study utilizes the Scale of Student Attitudes towards Gender Equality (García-Pérez et al., 2010) in a sample of 1,826 adolescents of different nationalities (of Spanish, non-Spanish European, Maghrebi, and Latin American origin) enrolled in Secondary Education Schools in Castilla- La Mancha. Results reveal that boys show a greater acceptance of these beliefs than girls, with significant differences in the three dimensions examined (sociocultural, relational, and personal facets). This willingness to accept gender roles is particularly conspicuous in the group of Latin American and Maghrebi male adolescents, whereas no relevant differences have been detected between women, who rather hold more egalitarian beliefs regardless of cultural origin.
El presente estudio, de metodología cuantitativa y diseño ex-post-facto, tiene como objetivo analizar las diferencias en la percepción de los roles de género asumidos por chicos y chicas, así como conocer la aceptación de estas creencias en función de la procedencia u origen, utilizando la Escala de Actitudes del Alumnado hacia la Igualdad de Género (García-Pérez et al., 2010) en una muestra de 1,826 adolescentes de distintas nacionalidades (procedencia española, europea no española, magrebí, latinoamericana) escolarizados en Centros Educativos de Educación Secundaria de Castilla-La Mancha. Los chicos presentan mayor aceptación hacia estas creencias que las chicas con diferencias significativas en las tres dimensiones analizadas (plano sociocultural, relacional y personal). Se encontró una mayor aceptación de esos roles de género en el grupo de adolescentes latinoamericanos y magrebíes respecto al de europeos y españoles. No se dieron diferencias entre el grupo de las mujeres, encontrándose creencias más igualitarias independientemente de la procedencia cultural.

The effective use of digital competency enables a system of lifelong learning, inherent in the education of 21st century pupils. Therefore, the highest level of digital competency should be sought that is also ethical. The Spanish education system includes in its curriculum the competencies that are considered key at the European level for training autonomous citizens, recognizing the transversal nature of digital competency and its application in multiple fields. This study aims to evaluate the level of digital competency of primary school students in the city of Ávila (Spain). For this purpose, a non-experimental quantitative methodological approach has been taken, using descriptive statistical techniques. The sample consisted of 325 pupils in the sixth year of primary education, from public and private-subsidised schools in Ávila (Spain). A problem-solving test was used to collect the data. The results show that the level of digital competency of the pupils in our sample is higher than expected, that the gender variable does not have a significant influence in digital competency, and that private-subsidised schools have a lower level of digital competency than public schools. The conclusion is that effective educational policies are needed that do not underestimate students’ digital competency, that are able to promote media literacy and that enable students not only to be in front of a screen, but to do so effectively.
El uso eficaz de la competencia digital permite un sistema de aprendizaje permanente, inherente a la educación del alumnado del siglo XXI, debiéndose, por tanto, procurar el mayor nivel de dicha competencia, haciendo de ella un uso ético. El sistema educativo español incluye en su currículo las competencias que a nivel europeo se consideran clave para formar ciudadanos autónomos, reconociendo el carácter transversal de la competencia digital y su aplicación en múltiples ámbitos. El presente estudio pretende evaluar el nivel de competencia digital que poseen los alumnos de Educación Primaria en la ciudad de Ávila (España). Para ello se ha aplicado el enfoque metodológico cuantitativo no experimental, empleando técnicas estadísticas de tipo descriptivo. La muestra la conforman 325 alumnos de sexto curso de Educación Primaria, de colegios públicos y privados-concertados, de Ávila (España) y para la recogida de datos se utilizó una prueba de resolución de problemas. Los resultados muestran que el nivel de competencia digital de los alumnos de nuestra muestra es superior al esperado, que la variable género no influye notablemente y que los colegios privados-concertados poseen un menor nivel de competencia digital que los centros públicos. Se concluye que se requieren políticas educativas eficaces que no subestimen la competencia digital del alumnado, que sean capaces de fomentar la alfabetización mediática y de posibilitar que los estudiantes no solo se sitúen frente a una pantalla, sino de que lo hagan de forma eficaz.

Published: January 2023

The debate on homework opens up again in pandemic times to remind us not only of the responsibility of the agents involved, but also of the controversies that exist around the time, emotional exhaustion, benefits and competencies it promotes. With the aim of finding out the status of homework during confinement, an empirical study was carried out with a descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional and non-experimental design. For this purpose, an ad hoc instrument called "Coping with homework in the family during confinement", validated by experts, was administered telematically, in which a total of 1982 families from all over Spain participated. The results show that there are significant differences for each of the study variables (quantity, benefits, competencies and emotional exhaustion) between the different educational stages (infant, primary and secondary), with the academic performance of the students and with the presence of specific educational support needs, except for the quantity variable. On the other hand, no significance was found with the type of school. In this way, both teachers and educational centers have to establish non-mechanistic creative tasks and, in turn, articulate support and collaboration with families in the performance of school tasks, especially those with children with specific needs.
El debate sobre las tareas escolares se abre nuevamente en tiempos pandémicos para recordarnos no sólo la responsabilidad de los agentes implicados, sino también las controversias que existen en torno al tiempo, desgaste emocional, beneficios y competencias que promueve. Con el objetivo de conocer el estado de los deberes durante el confinamiento, se llevó a cabo un estudio empírico con un diseño descriptivo-correlacional, transversal y no experimental. Para ello, se administró telemáticamente un instrumento ad hoc denominado “El afrontamiento de las tareas escolares en la familia durante el confinamiento”, validado por expertos, en el que participaron un total de 1982 familias de todo el territorio español. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias significativas para cada una de las variables de estudio (cantidad, beneficios, competencias y desgaste emocional) entre las distintas etapas educativas (infantil, primaria y secundaria), con el rendimiento académico del alumnado y con la presencia de necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo, salvo para la variable cantidad. En cambio, no se encontró significación con la titularidad del centro. De esta forma, tanto docentes como centros educativos, han de establecer el envío de tareas creativas no mecanicista y, a su vez, articular soporte de apoyo y colaboración con las familias en el desempeño de las tareas escolares, especialmente en aquellas con hijos con necesidades específicas.

Background: Spinal anesthesia for lower segment cesarean sections is not without its challenges for anesthesiologists, such as severe hypotension from too much bupivacaine or insufficient anesthetic from too little.
Objective: In this study our main goal is to measure the efficacy of low dose of 0.5% Bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia during lower segment cesarean section.
Methods: This investigation was conducted at a tertiary medical institution as a cross-sectional comparison study between January 2020 and January 2021, where one hundred pregnant ladies participated.
Patients who volunteered to take part in the trial were randomly split into two groups: Group A got an intrathecal injection of 3 mL of bupivacaine 0.5% (n=50), while Group B received an intrathecal injection of 2.5 mL of bupivacaine 0.5% (n=50). Tossing a coin was used as a randomizer. The patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation were taken before receiving anesthesia. Each patient underwent a subarachnoid block (SAB) using a 25-gauge Quincke spinal needle using a midline route after being preloaded with 800 ml to 1000 ml of isotonic intravenous fluid. The entire process of injecting the hyperbaric bupivacaine took no more than twenty to thirty seconds.
The needle's bevel was aligned with the dura's fibers. All of the data was entered into SPSS-25 after being coded. Statisticians used both descriptive and inferential methods. Percentages, means, standard deviations, graphs, tables, figures, and inferential statistics were all part of the descriptive statistics.
Results: Most participants were between the ages of 26 and 33, and between 60% and 70% were multiparous over the course of the research.
In both groups, all patients were able to reach a suitable sensory level for surgical intervention, as shown below. However, ephedrine was advised for 89% of Group B patients to help stabilize their blood pressure, whereas only 19% of Group A patients needed ephedrine. There were no significant variations in fluid consumption (P > 0.05) between Groups A and C (894 126 mL vs. 720 212 mL). The newborn's Apgar score was 9 at 1 minutes and 10 at 5 minutes. Also, although 19% of people in group A reported feeling sick, 23% of people in group B did.
Conclusion: A lower segment cesarean section performed under an optimal dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine in the spinal anesthesia will produce excellent surgical conditions with little hypotension, in contrast to the low dose. Improved results require more research..

ImportanceIncreased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have been associated with osteoporosis. Preclinical studies have reported that HDL-C reduces bone mineral density by reducing osteoblast number and function. However, the clinical significance of these findings is unclear.ObjectiveTo determine whether higher HDL-C levels are predictive of an increased fracture risk in healthy older adults.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study is a post hoc analysis of data from the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) clinical trial and the ASPREE-Fracture substudy. ASPREE was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled primary prevention trial of aspirin that recruited participants between 2010 and 2014. These comprised community-based older adults (16 703 Australians aged ≥70 years, 2411 US participants ≥65 years) without evident cardiovascular disease, dementia, physical disability, and life-limiting chronic illness. The ASPREE-Fracture substudy collected data on fractures reported postrandomization from Australian participants. Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI. Data analysis for this study was performed from April to August 2022.ExposurePlasma HDL-C.Main Outcomes and MeasuresFractures included were confirmed by medical imaging and included both traumatic and minimal trauma fractures. Fractures were adjudicated by an expert review panel.ResultsOf the 16 262 participants who had a plasma HDL-C measurement at baseline (8945 female participants [55%] and 7319 male [45%]), 1659 experienced at least 1 fracture over a median (IQR) of 4.0 years (0.02-7.0 years). In a fully adjusted model, each 1-SD increment in HDL-C level was associated with a 14% higher risk of fractures (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.08-1.20). The results remained similar when these analyses were stratified by sex. Sensitivity and stratified analyses demonstrated that these associations persisted when the analyses were repeated to include only (1) minimal trauma fractures, (2) participants not taking osteoporosis medications, (3) participants who were never smokers and reported that they did not drink alcohol, and (4) participants who walked outside for less than 30 minutes per day and reported no participation in moderate/vigorous physical activity and to examine only (5) statin use. No association was observed between non–HDL-C levels and fractures.Conclusions and RelevanceThis study suggests that higher levels of HDL-C are associated with an increased fracture risk. This association was independent of common risk factors for fractures.

ImportanceThe common use of isothiazolinones as preservatives is a global cause of allergic contact dermatitis. Differences in allowable concentrations of methylisothiazolinone (MI) exist in Europe, Canada, and the US.ObjectiveTo compare the prevalence of positive patch test reactions to the methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI) combination and MI alone in North America and Europe from 2009 to 2018.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective analysis of North American Contact Dermatitis Group, European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies (ESSCA), and the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK) databases included data from patients presenting for patch testing at referral patch test clinics in North America and Europe.ExposuresPatch tests to MCI/MI and MI.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrevalence of allergic contact dermatitis to MCI/MI and MI.ResultsFrom 2009 to 2018, participating sites in North America and Europe patch tested a total of 226 161 individuals to MCI/MI and 118 779 to MI. In Europe, positivity to MCI/MI peaked during 2013 and 2014 at 7.6% (ESSCA) and 5.4% (IVDK) before decreasing to 4.4% (ESSCA) and 3.2% (IVDK) during 2017 and 2018. Positive reactions to MI were 5.5% (ESSCA) and 3.4% (IVDK) during 2017 and 2018. In North America, the frequency of positivity to MCI/MI increased steadily through the study period, reaching 10.8% for MCI/MI during 2017 and 2018. Positive reactions to MI were 15.0% during 2017 and 2018.Conclusions and RelevanceThe study results suggest that in contrast to the continued increase in North America, isothiazolinone allergy is decreasing in Europe. This trend may coincide with earlier and more stringent government regulation of MI in Europe.
