The aim of this paper is to describe academic self-efficacy in students of technical-professional training at a university in the south of Chile. Numerous studies have established that, in order to have autonomous and self-regulated students, it is necessary for them to be academically self-efficient and the literature shows that the teacher with a self-efficient teaching identity promotes this type of competences in the students. The research is ascribed within the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative research approach that seeks objectivity, describing, explaining, proving and/or predicting phenomena, using data collection with the purpose of testing hypotheses through statistical analysis. The design is non-experimental, since it is carried out without manipulating the variables and the situations are not intentionally provoked. Additionally, it is of a cross-sectional nature, since the data are collected at a single moment of the research, to analyze the relationship at a given time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Return to work and permanence in employment of women who survive breast cancer are topics that become important as incidence and survival rates increase. Self-efficacy as a modifiable element is of special interest in this process. The objective of this study is to measure the level of self-efficacy in female breast cancer survivors, according to sociodemographic, work and treatment characteristics and their relationship with return to work. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, based on a survey of breast cancer patients about their demographic and work characteristics, the return to work process, permanence in the same job and the level of work self-efficacy. Differences in the level of self-efficacy with respect to characteristics were evaluated using bivariate analyses and hypothesis statistical testing. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: One hundred and twenty-four women were included, 87.9% had returned to work, the majority (56.4%) between one and six months after treatment, 67.7% remained in the same job. Higher levels of work self-efficacy were related to a higher probability of returning to work and staying there, and a shorter time to return to work; these differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: Occupational health and risk prevention services must consider and strengthen work self-efficacy and organizational support in breast cancer survivors to achieve a successful return to work [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Publication manual of the American Psychological Association in its seventh edition, published in 2020, highlights the importance of seeking quality in the publication of scientific articles. One of the highlighted chapters is the Journal Article Results Reporting Standards, which focuses on the precision of the results, with emphasis on quantitative aspects to increase the ability to detect real effects in research through power analysis (PA). The present work presents as an important tool in the design and analysis of scientific studies, suggesting it as an analytical strategy to calculate the sample size. It is explained that the PA is derived from the Neyman-Pearson statistical proposal for hypothesis testing. Key definitions are provided, such as statistical power (β), critical alpha value (α), effect size (δ), and sample size (n). It can help improve the quality and transparency in scientific research, through the approach of power analysis as an essential tool to improve the ability to detect real effects in research. The importance of statistics in the construction of knowledge is highlighted and the need for strategies to improve the reliability of scientific production is recognized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reports on the process followed to design a valid questionnaire for measuring the self-regulation of learning among university students. During the construction phase, two expert researchers provided assistance; and during the piloting phase, a quantitative model with hypothesis testing and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences validated the instrument's psychometric attributes. At the end of the study, satisfactory technical values were found in all of the completed tests in relation to diverse criteria of language, structure, reliability, and validity, and no conditioned response biases were identified by gender or academic year. This instrument is directed to undergraduate students at Mexico's teaching colleges, but is considered applicable to other university degrees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Acute stress reaction and burnout syndrome (BS) are different: the former is a consequence of exceptional physical or psychological stress and the latter is a consequence of occupational stress; but both share depressive, anxiety and somatic symptoms. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of acute stress reaction disorder and burnout syndrome. Methodology: Descriptive and cross-sectional clinical study. A total of 55 people from the health center were analyzed, 5 questionnaires were used: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), perceived stress (PSQ), patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) and patient health questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15). The data were analyzed with the EPI INFO 7 program using descriptions of frequency, percentage, crossing of variables and statistical significance tests. Results: There was a prevalence of 5.4% SB, SB symptoms 25.4% and according to the subscales of SB there was CE (emotional exhaustion) 14.5%, DE (depersonalization) 18.1% and RP (personal fulfillment) 18.1%. There was a positive relationship of CE, PSQ (0 - 0.49) and anxiety symptoms according to GAD-7 (3%) (P=0.003), whereby, possible there is 5.4% with acute stress reaction. Conclusions: The prevalence of CS personnel for SB was 5.4%, SB symptoms 25.4% and according to SB subscales CE 14.5%, DE 18.1% and RP 18.1% were obtained. Likewise, a significant relationship was found between CE, PSQ (0 - 0.49) and anxiety symptoms according to GAD-7 (3%) (P=0.003), whereby, there is a possible 5.4% with acute stress reaction.

Introduction: obesity is an excess of adiposity characterized by a low-grade inflammatory state due to an increase in proteins in the acute phase. Objective: to determine serum concentrations of High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) and lipid profile in obese adolescents. Methodology: prospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with a simple randomized method of 225 obese adolescents, of both sexes and a control group of 100 eutrophic adolescents, evaluated by anthropometry with the curves of the World Health Organization and biochemical tests such as concentrations serum High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein by ELISA technique; total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides, by dry analytical methodology and low-density lipoprotein by the Friedewald Formula: LDL (mmol/L)=total cholesterol -(TG/5)- HDL, the statistical analysis is performed with percentages, standard deviation and Student's t test considering statistical significance values of p<0.05. Results: in males there is a significant difference in weight, waist circumference and an increase in hsCRP of 4.8±1.6 mg/L, dyslipidemia with a significant difference in high-density hypolipoproteinemia and hypertriglyceridemia with the others lipid profile parameters, in addition to a high cardiovascular risk with hsCRP levels above 3 mg/L. Conclusions: adolescents present central adiposity with high percentiles of waist circumference, components of the lipid triad (hypertriglyceridemia, high-density hypolipoprotinemia and low-density hyperlipoprotinemia) significant increase in hsCRP as biomarkers of cardiovascular risk.

This article presents the results of a study on the influence that translating into one's mother tongue has on the written communication of students in bilingual intercultural schools in the province of Andahuaylas (Apurímac, Peru). An experiment was designed with five teaching modules that used examples in the Quechua language and a methodology based on the translation of words, phrases, sentences, and text into the students' native language. The sample comprised 97 students from two schools; the research employed a descriptive statistical analysis and a Pearson's correlation test with a significance level of a = 0.05, performed with the statistical package SPSS 25. It was found that the only significant correlation was between the translation of words and phrases (p-value < 0.05), and this correlation was very strong and positive (R > 0.90). The study concludes that translation from a second language (Spanish) into a native language (Quechua) has a positive impact on the development of students' written communication skills.

What factors impact on the productivity of legislators? In this paper, we argue that legislative productivity depends not only on party affiliation, seniority, gender, and other contextual considerations (e.g., alignment with the executive), as previous studies have shown, but also on the connections between legislators. Our main argument is that legislators' effectiveness in getting their proposals approved by the chamber depends on their centrality in the cosponsorship network. Unlike previous studies of Latin American legislatures, which usually consider bills as the unit of analysis, we focus on legislators and their individual records. We consider individual productivity as the number of authored bills approved by the chamber in a two-year congress. To test our hypothesis, we use data from the Argentine Chamber of Deputies from 1983 to 2019. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Contextualization: Ruminants have a comparative advantage over other species, because their ability to digest the fiber fractions present in forages. Knowledge gap: In tropical regions, due to changing environmental conditions, it is more difficult to produce pastures of high nutritional quality, resulting in forage seasonality that leads to supplementation with commercial feedstuffs that increase production costs. Purpose: Evaluate the effect of supplementation with hydroponic green fodder (HGF) and organoponic green fodder (OGF) of corn on the productive performance of sheeps during the rearing phase, in the Amazonian piedmont of the Department of Putumayo. Methodology: Twelve whole Dorper lambs, aged 90 days and weighing 14.62 kg, were used. They were distributed to three treatments consisting of: T0: base diet (BD), T1: hydroponic green fodder (HGF), T2: organoponic green fodder (OGF). Total weight gain (TWG), daily weight gain (DWG), total feed intake (TFI), feed conversion (FC) and feed efficiency (FE) were evaluated during a supplementation period of 45 days. A completely randomized design was used. Data was analyzed by analysis of variance and means were separated by Tukey's test with a significance level of (p<0.05). Results and conclusions: Differences (p < 0.05) were found in TWG 3.66 kg (T1), 3.61 kg (T2) and 2.35 kg (T0); similarly, to DWG 81.39 g (Tl), 80.30 g (T2) and 52.22 g (T0); TFI 1.33 kg (T1), 1. 27 kg (T2) and 1.05 kg (T0); the FC was estimated for T1 at 3.23, 3.27 in T2 and 5.13 in T0; and the FE was 0.063 (T1), 0.061 (T2) and 0.050 (TO), evidencing the influence of the type of diet used. The implementation of HGF and OGF becomes a viable alternative for food supplementation in sheeps production systems, where environmental conditions make it difficult to cultivate forage for grazing. It was concluded that the inclusion of 30 % of corn HGF in the diet of growing sheep improves their productive performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
