This is a post-print version of the paper. To cite this article: Ballester-Arnal, R., Castro-Calvo, J., Giménez-García, C., Gil-Juliá, B. & Gil-Llario, M.D (2020). Psychiatric comorbidity in Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD). Addictive Behaviors, 107, 106384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addbeh.2020.106384 Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is characterized by a persistent failure to control intense and recurrent sexual impulses, urges, and/or thoughts, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior that causes a marked impairment in important areas of functioning. Data collected from clinical populations suggest that CSBD frequently co-occurs with other Axis I and II psychiatric dis…
EXPRESSIONS OF DISCOMFORT IN ADOLESCENTS. CLINICAL REFLECTIONS RESULTING FROM AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF A GROUP OF STUDENTS
2006
Obiettivo. Considerati la diffusione e l’incremento dei comportamenti aggressivi e violenti, specie quelli che trovano come radicale comune la mancanza di un’effettiva motivazione e l’efferatezza, la nostra ricerca si è posta l’obiettivo di rintracciare gli indicatori e i segni predittivi di tali comportamenti. La letteratura, inoltre, dimostra che gli indicatori e i segni predittivi di maggiore affidabilità sono quelli legati alle invarianti strutturali (per esempio le strategie difensive, la capacità di controllo degli impulsi). Metodi. È stato realizzato, con un piano di ricerca trasversale, uno studio clinico di confronto reclutando un gruppo di adolescenti (26 soggetti di sesso maschil…
Visibilidad LGTB en tiempos de 'gilets jaunes' analizando espacios culturales de París
2020
La presente investigación se plantea como un acercamiento a distintos espacios urbanos alternativos franceses desde una perspectiva LGTB. La recogida de datos se hizo a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a distintos responsables de espacios culturales y a jóvenes directores de cine. También se hace servir el análisis de los datos conocidos en base a una observación participante, ya que este trabajo parte de una experiencia personal llevada a cabo en París durante entre 2018 y 2019. En el plazo de dos años hemos detectado un importante cambio de la situación en lo referido a la visibilidad y percepción de la diversidad sexual en el ámbito francés. Y todo ello sin perder de vista el impa…
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 …
Diferències de sexe i edat en la disposició empàtica dels estudiants de secundària
2010
Aquest treball presenta una aproximació a l'estudi de l'empatia i de les variables que influeixen en el seu desenvolupament. L'objectiu principal és determinar en quina mesura influeixen la variable de sexe i la variable d'edat en la disposició empàtica dels adolescents. L'estudi es realitza amb una mostra d'estudiants de secundària (n = 114), homes i dones. Els resultats indiquen que les dues variables analitzades (sexe i edat) tenen un efecte significatiu sobre l'empatia. Les dones es mostren més empàtiques que els homes en totes les dimensions que mesura l'escala IRI. A mesura que avancen en edat, els adolescents mostren una major capacitat per a posar-se en el lloc de l'altre i comprend…
Importance of Sampling Frequency to Detect Differential Timing of Migration: A Case Study with BlackcapsSylvia atricapilla
2009
Our aim was to assess to what extent detection of differential timing of passage in migrant birds depends on the sampling frequency (SF). We determined if Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla performed differential migration by age and sex when passing over N Iberia. We mist netted and ringed migrating Blackcaps at a stopover site, both during the autumn (2005) and the spring (2006) migrations. During autumn, adult female Blackcaps passed later than juvenile birds and adult males. In spring, however, migration differed mainly by sex rather than by age. In particular, males passed over earlier than females, likely due to the pressure on males to earlier arrival at their breeding areas. A simulation …
Sexual disorders and dyspnoea among women with obstructive sleep apnea
2020
Abstract Purpose We aimed to assess sexual function, sexual distress and the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among women with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), and to assess if the presence of OSA and dyspnea influences the prevalence of FSD, body image during sexual activity and sexual function. Methods We assessed 23 women with new OSA diagnosis and 23 healthy age and body mass index (BMI) matched controls. Sexual functions were evaluated by Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ), sexual dysfunction was diagnosed based on DSM-5 criteria during the semi-structured sexual interview, whereas body image was evaluated by Body Exposure during Sexual Activities Qu…
Capacity assessment for provision of quality sexual reproductive health and HIV-integrated services in Karamoja, Uganda
2020
Introduction: Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are crucial global health issues. Uganda continues to sustain a huge burden of HIV and AIDS.
 Methods: A cross-sectional health facility-based assessment was performed in November and December 2016 in Karamoja Region, northern Uganda. All the 126 health facilities (HFs) in Karamoja, including 5 hospitals and 121 Health Centers (HCs), covering 51 sub-counties of the 7 districts were assessed. We assessed the capacity of a) leadership and governance, b) human resource, c) service delivery, d) SRH and HIV service integration and e) users satisfaction and perceptions.

Beliefs about children's adjustment in same-sex families: Spanish and Chilean university students.
2014
AbstractThe main purpose of our study is to compare the beliefs of Spanish and Chilean university students about the effects that same-sex parents might have on their children. A total of 491 participants completed the study (208 Spaniards and 283 Chileans). The results indicate a kind of modern and subtle rejection based on hetero-normativity. Furthermore, the results indicated the effects of sex (men have a greater degree of rejection), traditional and sexist opinions linked to a greater rejection of same-sex parents, and the contact variable which inversely correlates with this rejection. The results show that the etiology of homosexual orientation also correlates with rejection of same-…
Comparing the characteristics of homeless adults in Poland and the United States.
2014
This study compared the characteristics of probability samples of homeless adults in Poland (N = 200 from two cities) and the United States (N = 219 from one city), using measures with established reliability and validity in homeless populations. The same measures were used across nations and a systemic translation procedure assured comparability of measurement. The two samples were similar on some measures: In both nations, most homeless adults were male, many reported having dependent children and experiencing out-of-home placements when they themselves were children, and high levels of physical health problems were observed. Significant national differences were also found: Those in Pola…
