Agresividad y afrontamiento en la adolescencia. Una perspectiva intercultural

2008

La conducta agresiva es objeto de estudio con la finalidad de comprender los mecanismos básicos que causan y regulan esta conducta. La interculturalidad es una realidad que caracteriza a nuestra escuela y nuestra sociedad y el incremento acentuado en los últimos años de población inmigrante y el aumento de adopciones internacionales han generado en algunos centros un alto porcentaje de alumnos procedentes de otras culturas, lo que ha motivado en algunos centros un incremento de conductas agresivas y antisociales. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la conducta agresiva, los procesos implicados y los mecanismos de afrontamiento en una muestra de 1557 adolescentes entre 12 y 15 años, de Prime…

Adolescents en conflicte amb la llei: víctimes o victimàries?: una aproximació des de la sociologia i el treball social

2008

En éste artículo se realiza un aproximación al fenómeno de la delincuencia juvenil, desde el paradigma de la vulnerabilidad y la exclusión social. Desde ésta aproximación se realiza la investigación en un territorio concreto, como es el municipio de Burjassot en el área metropolitana de València (País Valencià), se profundiza en las variables de vulnerabilidad de éstos adolescentes, lo que nos permite relacionar su realidad con la nueva cuestión social. El trabajo incide en la complejidad del fenómeno, huyendo de explicaciones lineales y sencillas, extrayendo como variables fundamentales a investigar: la realidad educativa, el barrio de residencia en el municipio, la existencia previa de in…

Factors psicosocials rellevants en la violència de preadolescents i adolescents escolaritzats

2010

A pesar de la considerable evidència acumulada sobre els efectes de la violència en els mitjans, encara hi ha controvèrsia sobre el tema. La comunitat científica debat la influència de la TV i els videojocs en el comportament dels subjectes (vid. Kids, TV viewing, andaggressivebehavior, Science (Letters) 297, 49-50, 2002). Aquells que s'oposen al fet que la TV i els videojocs tenen influència sobre el comportament agressiu, defensen que la causalitat no es pot establir tan fàcilment, ja que als individus violents els agradarà més veure actes agressius en TV i que estiguen presents en els videojocs. En l'actual estudi realitzat amb escolars preadolescents i adolescents 'amb una grandària de …

Reputation, loneliness, satisfaction with life and aggressive behavior in adolescence

2008

The present study analyses the relationship between adolescents’ perception of reputation and aggressive behavior among peers. The sample is made up of 1319 adolescents aged 11 to 16 years old. Statistical analyses with structural equation modeling were carried out to examine the direct and indirect effect of perception of reputation (real and ideal) on aggressive behavior. Results indicate that adolescents’ real and ideal reputations are related both directly and indirectly to aggressive behavior. The indirect effects suggest that loneliness and life satisfaction mediate the relationship between adolescents’ reputation and their aggressive behavior. These findings and their implications ar…

Visceral adiposity index and DHEAS are useful markers of diabetes risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

2014

ObjectiveOn the basis of the known diabetes risk in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recent guidelines of the Endocrine Society recommend the use of an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to screen for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in all women with PCOS. However, given the high prevalence of PCOS, OGTT would have a high cost–benefit ratio. In this study, we identified, through a receiver operating characteristic analysis, simple predictive markers of the composite endpoint (impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or IGT or IFG+IGT or T2DM) in women with PCOS according to the Rotterdam criteria.DesignWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 241 women with PCOS in a unive…

Definition of the upper reference limit of glycated albumin in blood donors from Italy.

2017

Abstract Background: Glycated Albumin (GA) has been proposed as a short-term indicator of glycemic homeostasis. The aim of this study is to describe the distribution of GA in a large sample of blood donors from Italy to evaluate whether demographic features, namely age and sex, could influence GA levels and define specific reference limits. Methods: The study included 1334 Italian blood donors. GA was measured using an enzymatic method (quantILab Glycated Albumin, IL Werfen, Germany). The upper reference limit (URL) was calculated using the non-parametric percentile method. Results: A modest, although significant, increase of GA was observed in relation to age (p<0.001), especially in ma…
