Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) in the General Colombian Population

2021

(1) Background: Diener’s Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences (SPANE) assesses the presence and intensity of positive and negative affects, since these are considered basic aspects of the study of well-being. This article studies its psychometric properties in the general Colombian population. (2) We conducted a cross-sectional study of a sample of 1255 Colombians and we used structural equation modeling to confirm the bifactor structure. Additionally, we studied invariance by gender, and convergent and concurrent validity. (3) We found acceptable fit indicators for the bifactor model (CFI = 0.889, RMSEA = 0.046, SRMR = 0.059) as well as for the convergent (CFI = 0.909, RMSEA = 0.050,…

Alignment between standardized assessments and academic standards : the case of the Saber Mathematics Test in Colombia

2013

Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Disponible la versión en inglés Análisis del concepto de alineación presentando los resultados de un estudio que examina el grado de alineación entre una evaluación estandarizada de matemáticas y unos estándares académicos. La alineación se examina usando el modelo de Webb y los resultados sugieren que el grado de alineación entre las evaluaciones estandarizadas y los estándares académicos no es el más adecuado y por lo tanto los resultados se deben interpretar con mucha cautela y se debe poner mucho cuidado con el tipo de decisiones que se toman con base en los resultados.

Spatio-Temporal Modeling of Zika and Dengue Infections within Colombia

2018

The aim of this study is to estimate the parallel relative risk of Zika virus disease (ZVD) and dengue using spatio-temporal interaction effects models for one department and one city of Colombia during the 2015&ndash

Psychometric Properties and Measurement Invariance by Gender of the Abbreviated Three-Item Version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale in a Colombian…

2022

(1) Background: The need to offer brief scales with items that can be answered with few response options is increasingly important in order to be able to access a broad range of the population. The three-item version of Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale has recently been proposed. The objective of this study is to study the psychometric properties of the three-item version of this Scale with five response options, as well as the measurement invariance by gender, in a Colombian sample; (2) Methods: A confirmatory factor model of the three items of the scale together with the Flourishing Scale has been tested, and the measurement invariance by gender of the model has been studied. The res…

Vino e mercati emergenti: il caso della Colombia

2014

Il vino, dal punto di vista economico, è uno dei prodotti più importanti e complessi dell’agricoltura; a livello internazionale, il mercato mondiale del vino è stato, negli ultimi anni, oggetto di profondi cambiamenti che hanno interessato la produzione ed il consumo. La produzione mondiale viene dai Paesi tradizionalmente produttori come la Francia, l’Italia e la Spagna, e dai nuovi produttori come gli USA, l’Australia, il Cile e l’Argentina. In Colombia, le prime indicazioni dell'arrivo del vino, risalgono al 12 ottobre dell'anno 1492 con Cristoforo Colombo; le prime importazioni di vino iniziarono già nell'anno 1534, ma subito dopo, sotto la pressione dei commercianti spagnoli che si ved…

Clinica Bamboo

2012

The space has been designed as a metaphor of nature: the ground has tourned to water, the roof remains the starry sky and the partitions develop as white clouds. The hearth of the clinic is a covered “square” that connects the entrance with a huge glass wall that looks directly towards the city. Here, a small waterfall diffuses its sound throughout the architectural spaces. The design is meant to generate organic forms through the use of simple, cheap and hand-made technologies taht work as instruments. Small modular elements are assembled in order to create complex compositions. The materials have been chosen to realize a contemporary interpretation of the millenarian tradition of bamboo b…

Lo spazio collettivo nei contesti spontanei dell'abitare. La rigenerazione urbana e sociale di Bogotà e Medellììn

Assumendo l’inscindibilità della diade architettura-necessità, la ricerca volge il suo interesse nei confronti della dimensione collettiva dell’abitare, orientandosi specialmente verso quei contesti urbani e sociali emblematici laddove, alle trasformazioni indotte dall’evolversi della vita stessa, si sovrappongono problematiche incrinanti la possibilità di un vivere felice. In tali contesti più urgenti e bisognosi, l’architettura è concepita quale risposta concreta all’imprescindibile bisogno di abitare, e si rivela uno strumento capace di migliorare la qualità di vita della collettività, garantendo il bene comune ed incrementando il capitale sociale. Gli spazi collettivi, ritenuti la rispo…

Caracterización morfológica y molecular de Paragonimus caliensis Little 1968 y Paragonimus mexicanus Miyazaki & Ishii 1968 (Digenea: Paragonimidae) e…

2018

La paragonimiasis es una enfermedad pulmonar granulomatosa inflamatoria crónica causada por trematodos del género Paragonimus. En América Latina, P. mexicanus Miyazaki & Ishii 1968 es la única especie confirmada que causa infecciones humanas. Paragonimus caliensis Little 1968, es una especie poco común a menudo considerada sinónima junior de P. mexicanus. Recientemente, el estudio molecular y morfológico de dos tipos de metacercarias de Paragonimus en Costa Rica proporcionó la evidencia de que P. caliensis es una especie separada de P. mexicanus. En el presente estudio se utilizaron herramientas moleculares, filogenéticas y morfológicas para caracterizar cuatro poblaciones de Paragonimus en…

The Phycosiphon record in the Ladrilleros-Juanchaco section (Miocene, Colombian Pacific): palaeoecological implications

2018

 Miocene rocks of the Ladrilleros-Juanchaco section, located on the NW margin of South America, contain a high diverse and abundant trace fossil assemblage. The relative abundance of Phycosiphon, together with its morphological variations, provides new insights into the environmental conditions. Detailed outcrop stratigraphic, ichnological, and geochemical analyses carried out in the section focused on the trace fossil assemblages (distribution, relative abundance), ichnofabric index, and, especially, in the general ichnological features of Phycosiphon . In addition, the detailed photographic documentation and the use of the digital image treatment technique facilitate the precise study of …

Forma y sentido en algunos textos teatrales de Enrique Buenaventura

2016

El propósito del presente trabajo de investigación doctoral, Forma y Sentido de algunos textos teatrales de Enrique Buenaventura (1925-2003), tiene como objetivo, analizar dichos textos, de uno de los más importantes dramaturgos colombianos del siglo XX, considerado como uno de los innovadores y fundador, entre otros importantes dramaturgos colombianos, del Movimiento Nuevo Teatro Colombiano, que inicia a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta finales de la década de los años Ochenta en Colombia.
