Construct validity of the LSB-50 in argentinean adults: cross-validation and factorial invariance
2015
El trabajo se propone aportar evidencias de validez referidas al Listado de Síntomas Breve (LSB-50; de Rivera y Abuín, 2012), instrumento psicométrico de screening para medir síntomas sicológicos, analizadas en una muestra de adultos argentinos. Los participantes fueron 1291 individuos distribuidos proporcionalmente según sexo (51% mujeres; 49% varones) con edades entre 18 y 89 años (M = 38.9, DE = 16.49). Se llevaron a cabo estudios de validación cruzada e invarianza factorial para examinar si un modelo de siete factores que se correspondía con siete escalas clínicas (Hipersensibilidad, ObsesionesCompulsiones, Ansiedad, Hostilidad, Somatización, Depresión, y Alteraciones del sueño) present…
Pre-school social abilities: Construction and validation of a scale for children in contexts of poverty
2009
Las habilidades sociales son parte esencial de la actividad humana. Estas inciden en la autoestima, la adopción de roles, la autorregulación del comportamiento y el rendimiento académico, entre otros aspectos. Este trabajo presenta el proceso de construcción y validación de una Escala de Habilidades Sociales para niños preescolares. Se aplicó la escala a 318 padres de niños de 3 a 5 años de NSE bajo asistentes a Centros de Atención Primaria de Salud en San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. Se diseñó un protocolo distinto para cada grupo de edad, considerando las características evolutivas y contextuales vinculadas al proceso de adquisición de habilidades sociales. El resultado fue una escala co…
High Five Model: The High Factors are Associated with Low-Risk of Medical, Mental and Personality Diseases
2017
El Modelo de los Cinco Altos (MCA; High Five Model, HFM, por sus siglas en inglés)establece cinco rasgos positivos de la personalidad: erudición, paz, jovialidad, honestidad,y tenacidad, llamados factores altos. Un estudio previo había mostrado la validezconvergente, discriminante y estructural del MCA. Este estudio tuvo por objetivocorroborar que el MCA está asociado positivamente a variables relacionadas con la saludfísica y mental de los individuos. Se realizó este estudio con una muestra de participantesde población general no consultante. Específicamente, se estudió la asociación entre losfactores del MCA y el modelo de Salud Mental Positiva, el bajo riesgo de enfermedadmédica, la ause…

Search for CP violation using T-odd correlations in D-0 -> K+K-pi(+)pi(-) decays
2014
A search for $CP$ violation using $T$-odd correlations is performed using the four-body $D^0 \to K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ decay, selected from semileptonic $B$ decays. The data sample corresponds to integrated luminosities of $1.0\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ and $2.0\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded at the centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, respectively. The $CP$-violating asymmetry $a_{CP}^{T\text{-odd}}$ is measured to be $(0.18\pm 0.29\text{(stat)}\pm 0.04\text{(syst)})\%$. Searches for $CP$ violation in different regions of phase space of the four-body decay, and as a function of the $D^0$ decay time, are also presented. No significant deviation from the $CP$ conservation hypothesis is found.
Energy compensation and adiposity in humans
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Authors Understanding the impacts of activity on energy balance is crucial. Increasing levels of activity may bring diminishing returns in energy expenditure because of compensatory responses in non-activity energy expenditures.1–3 This suggestion has profound implications for both the evolution of metabolism and human health. It implies that a long-term increase in activity does not directly translate into an increase in total energy expenditure (TEE) because other components of TEE may decrease in response—energy compensation. We used the largest dataset compiled on adult TEE and basal energy expenditure (BEE) (n = 1,754) of people living normal lives to fi…

Dog sperm head morphometry: its diversity and evolution
2017
Dogs have been under strong artificial selection as a consequence of their relationship with man. Differences between breeds are evident that could be reflected in seminal characteristics. The present study was to evaluate differences in sperm head morphometry between seven well-defined breeds of dog: the British Bulldog, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Spanish Mastiff, Staffordshire Terrier, and Valencian Rat Hunting dog. Semen samples were obtained by masturbation and smears stained with Diff-Quik. Morphometric analysis (CASA-Morph) produced four size and four shape parameters. Length, Ellipticity, and Elongation showed higher differences between breeds. MANOVA revealed di…
State of the Art on Sustainability Assessment of Positive Energy Districts: Methodologies, Indicators and Future Perspectives
2021
The concept of Positive Energy District is one of the main areas of research and extensive applications of the principles of the clean energy transition within the building sector. In the past years, the most widely accepted definitions have focused specifically on carbon neutrality, while several other aspects regarding all sustainability approaches (including environmental, social and economic perspective) were included qualitatively or to a lesser degree. This paper proposes a discussion on the state of the art of the sustainability assessment of Positive Energy Districts, by investigating environmental, social and economic sustainability applications. The three sustainability dimensions…
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Cardiovascular Risk, and Carotid Inflammation.
2015
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined by excessive triglycerides (TGs) accumulation in the liver (>5% of hepatocytes histologically) in the absence of alcohol excess. The NAFLD ranges from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. The NAFLD and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are now the number one cause of liver disease in Western countries. The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing but is underreported, and the epidemiology and demographic characteristics vary worldwide. The prevalence is increasing because of the rising occurrence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM); in fact, NAFLD is considered as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Nonalcoho…
