Vineyards are very abundant in Spain and have a great capacity to generate toponymy. In this paper, the distribution of vineyard place names has been analyzed, in order to know if the frequency of these names is similar between territories and if they are associated with the crops. For this, firstly, the vineyard toponyms of the Basic Geographic Gazetteer of Spain have been identified. Subsequently, a goodness of fit test has been carried out between the distribution of the observed place names and those which would derive from its proportional distribution taking into account the total area of each region and its area of vineyards. Finally, an independence test between the distribution of the place names and the crops has been carried out. Goodness of fit and independence have been checked using the Chi-square test. The results show that vineyard toponymy is not distributed evenly between regions and there is an association between toponymy and vine cultivation. However, this does not occur in all regions: there are areas where today such association is unrecognizable due to the cultivated areas with no toponymy and others with a high frequency of fossilized place names which mark where the old vineyard landscapes are.

Background and purpose: At the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, an alarming decline in hospitalizations for stroke was reported in several countries, including Germany. We assessed hospitalization numbers and indicators of the quality of stroke care in 2020 during the pandemic containment measures. Materials and methods: The analysis was based on data of two large stroke quality assurance registries in the north and the south of Germany (Qualitätssicherung Schlaganfall Nordwestdeutschland and Bayerische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Qualitätssicherung in der stationären Versorgung). We included 395 hospitals with 467,931 documented cases in 2018-2020. The time interval between admission and thrombolysis, frequency of systemic thrombolysis and intra-arterial therapy (IAT), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission and in-hospital mortality were assessed. Changes in the second (Q2) and fourth (Q4) quarters of 2020 were compared to corresponding quarters in 2019 by chi-squared tests. Results: Hospitalization numbers decreased in the two stroke registries by 8% and 10% inQ2 of 2020 and by 5% and 15% inQ4 of 2020 compared to the same quarters in 2019, respectively. The decline was particularly seen in women and patients with transient ischemic attacks. In cases with cerebral infarction, no increase in NIHSS scores on admission was observed, and the proportion of patients with a time interval between admission and thrombolysis of -60min was unchanged. No clear pattern was found in the frequency of systemic thrombolysis and IAT. In one of the registries, in-hospital mortality of patients with cerebral infarction increased in Q2 of 2020 compared to Q2 of 2019. Conclusion: Case numbers slightly decreased under pandemic conditions, while our quarterly analysis indicated that the quality of stroke care was largely unchanged throughout the year 2020.

The aim of this study was to identify segments of university professors with different predispositions and use of the blended-learning methodology in their teaching routine. Predictor variables were taken from individual socio-demographic and professional characteristics; each one of the phases of adoption typified in the Theory of Diffusion of Innovation, proposed by E. Rogers, were taken as criterion variables. The study involved 486 teachers from different universities in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León (Spain). Data treatment was run via segmentation analysis using the CHAID algorithm. The results showed that the prior training on b-learning as the main predictor variable in 4 of the 5 classification trees obtained. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of knowing the expansion phases of the b-learning adoption process in academics, identifying user types or profiles based on individual characteristics, in order to inform decision-making by the university administrators interested in accelerating the dissemination of such educational innovations.

Applications of Item Response Theory require assessing the agreement between observations and model predictions at the item level. This paper compares approaches applied to polytomous scored items in a simulation study. Three fit-indexes are calculated: traditional chi-square index obtained by grouping examinees according to their estimated trait, an alternative that uses posterior distribution of trait and the third method, in which examinees are grouped according their observed total scores. Various conditions are simulated by manipulating test length (10, 20 and 40 items), number of categories (3,4 and 5) and sample size (500, 1000 and 2000 examinees). Power and Type I error rates are described. Chi-square statistics based on posterior probabilities showed the best performance, especially with larger sample sizes and shorter test lengths.
