El objetivo de este estudio fue describir un perfil antropométrico, aeróbico y de potencia muscular de basquetbolistas juveniles costarricenses según sexo, posiciones de juego y categoría de edad. Se evaluaron 99 jugadores juveniles (43 mujeres y 56 hombres; 18 bases, 51 aleros y 30 pívots; 42 categoría U16 y 57 categoría U18) de ocho equipos diferentes. La experiencia deportiva de los jugadores fue de 6.5 ± 3.1 años. Se realizaron las siguientes evaluaciones: altura, peso, índice de masa corporal, masa músculo-esquelética, porcentaje de grasa, prueba de contramovimiento (CMJ) y prueba de Yo-Yo de Recuperación Intermitente Nivel I. Los principales resultados mostraron valores significativamente mayores en hombres que en mujeres en peso, talla, masa músculo-esquelética, distancia recorrida en la prueba Yo-Yo, en el VO2max, altura en el CMJ y en el tiempo de vuelo. El porcentaje de grasa fue mayor en mujeres que en hombres. Los jugadores pívots presentaron significativamente mayor estatura, peso corporal y porcentaje degrasa que las otras posiciones de juego. Los bases y los aleros cubrieron más metros en la prueba Yo-Yo y tuvieron mayor VO2máx que los pívots. Entre las categorías U16 y U18 no se encontraron diferencias significativas en ninguna variable. Modelos de regresión mostraron la influencia del peso, porcentaje de grasa corporal, masa músculo esquelética y la edad sobre el VO2máx y CMJ. Como conclusión, según el sexo y las posiciones de juego de los jugadores, estos indicadores variaron. Además, esta información será útil para procesos de promoción, desarrollo y diseño de entrenamientos de baloncesto juvenil en Costa Rica.

Al igual que los otros libros del Código, también las normas generales merecen una revisión para ver si conviene adaptarlas a las circunstancias cambiantes. Tales circunstancias incluyen los avances en la ciencia jurídica civil (p. ej., con respecto a la teoría de los actos jurídicos y los actos administrativos), desarrollos de la doctrina de la Iglesia (p. ej., con respecto a la sinodalidad), progresos tecnológicos (como la revolución digital) y cuestiones fundamentales cuya respuesta no resulta tan sencilla como se pensaba (como la cuestión de los criterios para ser considerado varón o mujer).

The undeniable influence of La Celestina on La Lozana andaluza is not limited to its structure, content, and function (Botta 2002; Checa 2005; Imperiale 1991; Márquez Villanueva 2006), but it also encompasses the animal symbolism used in the construction of the character of the old bawd (Shipley 2020; López-Rodríguez 2018; Miaja de la Peña 2017; Snow 2021). Celestina and Lozana are sweet and hard-working as bees, promiscuous and motherly as hens, loquacious and free as birds, temptress and sinful as serpents, libidinous and obstinate as donkeys and even docile and helpless as sheep. There is, indeed, a sort of bestiary in the forging of the literary figure of the prostitutes, whose physique and personality, home, jobs, beliefs, and social function are marked with animal traits. In addition to highlighting the instinctual animal world of sex with which the two prostitutes make a living, the iconography of the bestial serves to sketch the multifaceted nature of Celestina and Lozana. After all, their survival, like an animal, depends on their adaptation to society, because, in the words of the character of Francisco Delicado, «¿Qué me tengo que mantener […] como camaleón?» (179).

RESUMO: Este artigo-parecer origina-se da avaliação do artigo original de autoria de Ana Paula Oliveira dos Santos e Bettina Heerdt, publicado no volume 24 de 2023 da revista Ensaio. Proponho uma releitura dos resultados apesentados por Ana Paula Oliveira dos Santos e Bettina Heerdt à luz das obras de Sandra Harding, Judith Butler e Pierre Bourdieu. Como resultado, argumento que o gênero precisa ser reconhecido e denunciado como estruturante da racionalidade científica e da teoria biológica do sexo para que as ciências naturais não continuem contribuindo para a opressão das mulheres e da população LGBTQIAPN+. Qualquer projeto feminista de transformação social precisará transformar, também, as ciências biológicas e naturais.

Introducción: la migraña es un trastorno vascular que provoca episodios de cefalea intensa y paroxística muy molesta para quien la padece. La implantación de catgut en puntos acupunturales ha sido utilizada para múltiples enfermedades con resultados satisfactorios en el alivio del dolor. Objetivo: caracterizar la efectividad de la implantación de catgut en pacientes con cefalea migrañosa según diagnóstico por órganos Zang-Fu en el Policlínico Pedro Borrás Astorga en en el periodo comprendido de enero a diciembre del año 2022. Métodos: se realizó una investigación descriptiva, longitudinal y prospectiva. El universo de 112 pacientes con diagnóstico de cefalea migrañosa que asistieron a la Consulta de Medicina Natural y Tradicional. La muestra aleatoria simple de 72 pacientes que cumplían los criterios de inclusión. Las variables estudiadas fueron edad, sexo, diagnóstico tradicional, evolución clínica según diagnóstico tradicional, evaluación de la evolución clínica y número de aplicaciones necesarias. Se calculó la frecuencia relativa y absoluta. Resultados: predominaron los pacientes del sexo femenino con edades comprendidas entre 31 y 40 años (43,10 %) con predominio de la hiperactividad del yang de hígado (52,81 %). Según el diagnóstico tradicional se mostró una buena evolución en 88,83 % pacientes. La evolución clínica de la mayoría de los enfermos fue satisfactoria con cinco a seis sesiones de tratamiento (64,12 %). Conclusiones: se demostró la efectividad del implante de catgut cromado en pacientes con cefalea migrañosa, con predominio de la hiperactividad del yang de hígado.

Volumetric assessment of brain structures is an important tool in neuroscience research and clinical practice. The volumetric measurement of normally functioning human brain helps detect age-related changes in some regions, which can be observed at varying degrees. This study aims to estimate the insular volume in the normally functioning human brain in both genders, different age groups, and side variations. A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted on 42 adult Sudanese participants in Al-Amal Hospital, Sudan, between May to August 2022, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and automatic brain segmentation through a software program (BrainSuite). The statistical difference in total insular volume on both sides of the cerebral hemisphere was small. The insular volume on the right side was greater in males, while the left side showed no difference between both genders. A statistically significant difference between males and females was found (p > 0.05), and no statistical difference in different age groups was found according to the one-way ANOVA test (p>0.05). Adult Sudanese males showed a larger insular volume than females. MRI can be used to morphometrically assess the insula to detect any pathological variations based on volume changes.

El culto al cuerpo es hoy un valor destacado, con notoria presencia en los medios que consumen los adolescentes. Segmento, por otra parte, especialmente vulnerable al influjo de la industria publicitaria. En este sentido, resulta pertinente preguntarse si dicha industria está generando un canon corporal que detectan los propios adolescentes. Así como, si la publicidad influye en sus preferencias físicas. Al respecto se ha se realizado un análisis de contenido (20 anuncios audiovisuales) y una encuesta (132 adolescentes). Según los resultados, existe un canon corporal en la publicidad audiovisual dirigida a este colectivo que oscila entre la ligera delgadez y un moderado grado de complexión atlética. Las modelos femeninas presentan un somatotipo ectomorfo y los masculinos mesomorfo, siendo altos en ambos casos (1,70 cm o más en mujeres y 1,75 cm o más en hombres). El estudio también constata que la publicidad influye en las predilecciones corporales de los adolescentes. Incidencia más destacada si se es mujer o se tiene entre 10 y 13 años. A la luz de los resultados sería muy recomendable que los anuncios mostraran otro tipo de cuerpos, más redondeados y adiposos, con objeto de romper los cánones actuales y facilitar el bienestar de este colectivo.

This study evaluated the occurrence of azotemia and the relationship between azotemia, breed, sex, and age in dogs brought for veterinary treatment at a tertiary veterinary hospital in Eastern Nigeria. A total of 304 dogs of varied breeds and ages comprising males and females were evaluated in this study. Renal dysfunction was assessed by evaluation of serum creatinine levels using the International Renal Interest Society criterion for diagnosis of renal dysfunction, a cut-off serum creatinine value of = 1.4 mg/dl was used to classify the dogs as positive for azotemia or not. Results of the study showed that 34 (11.2%) dogs in the sample had azotemia. There were significant variations (p < 0.05) in the occurrence of azotemia among breeds, with Caucasians having the highest occurrence (5.9%), followed by Mastiffs (2.6%), Mongrels (2.0%), and Alsatians (0.7%). The occurrence of azotemia was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in females than in males. There was significant variation (p < 0.05) in the occurrence of azotemia among the different age groups, with young dogs having a higher occurrence than puppies and adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Women, compared to men, have been more involved in caregiving activities than men. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to assess the transformations in care work during the coronavirus pandemic based on a review of the scientific literature. Methods: This objective is developed by systematizing the findings of 64 research studies that, from the social sciences and women's studies, address care work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Housework is assigned to women by its very nature, irrespective of the country to which they belong. Conclusions: The research concludes that inequity in the distribution of care work during the crisis is greater for women than for men because of gender, race and class power relations.

En este artículo se desarrolla el marco conceptual del “contextualismo sexual” para el estudio de las variables relacionadas con el sexo en la investigación biomédica. El contextualismo sexual ofrece una alternativa a los enfoques sexuales binarios y esencialistas del estudio del sexo como variable biológica. Específicamente, el contextualismo sexual reconoce el pluralismo y la especificidad contextual que tienen las operacionalizaciones de “sexo” a través de la investigación experimental de laboratorio. A la luz de recientes normativas para la consideración del sexo como variable biológica, el contextualismo sexual ofrece una guía constructiva a los/as investigadores/as biomédicos/as para abordar la variación biológica relacionada con el sexo. En tanto alternativa y crítica al esencialismo binario del sexo biológico, el contextualismo sexual contribuye a los debates actuales en filosofía de la biología, estudios feministas de la ciencia y ontología social en torno a la construcción de categorías de la diferencia sexual/genérica en la investigación científica.

Objetivo: descrever a relação da satisfação com a vida e o risco para violência entre homens e mulheres idosos. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, realizado com 159 idosos, utilizando a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida e Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test. Os dados foram analisados mediante estatística descritiva (frequência absoluta e relativa, medidas de tendência central e dispersão) e inferencial (Teste t de Student; Regressão Linear). Resultados: a satisfação com a vida segundo o gênero apresentou diferença significativa entre as médias do risco para violência, verificando que os homens idosos que apresentavam risco para violência estavam menos satisfeitos com a vida. Observou-se correlação negativa para o grupo masculino (β=-0,416) e feminino (β=-0,293) entre essas variáveis. Conclusão: homens idosos que apresentam risco para violência exibem menores escores de satisfação, apontando que a satisfação com a vida aumenta à medida em que o risco para violência diminui.

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship of gender and age with depressive symptomatology in adolescents. The participants were 1,212 adolescents, from 1st (53.9%) and 2nd (46.1%) year in Compulsory Secondary Education, belonging to seven schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain), and 104 parents. The percentage of adolescents with clinically significant depressive symptoms is similar to that found in other studies in Spain. The girls presented greater depressive symptomatology. The gender difference was greater in the group with high depressive symptomatology. Depressive symptomatology increased with age, consistent with previous research. The difference was highlighted in adolescent self-reports but not in parent reports. The main conclusion is that the development of depression prevention programs should take gender and age into consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the representation of functional diversity and sex-affective relationships among adolescents in the fictional series Sex Education during seasons 2 and 3 (2020-2021), coinciding with the appearance of the character Isaac, an adolescent with functional diversity. Based on the discourse analysis of the characters and the narratives on functional diversity, we explore the construction of Isaac as a desiring and desired subject and his sex-affective relationship with Maeve. The research concludes that Sex Education makes visible, vindicates, and normalises the affective and sexual needs of young people with functional diversity, avoiding a discourse where infantilisation, pathologisation, and asexuality prevail. It gives the characters with functional diversity a horizon of possibility of loving and engaging in sexual intercourse. Likewise, the series presents a scenario where equality and integration are unprecedented successes in society, viewing the difficulties and violence faced by Isaac as an exception rather than as a structural social problem.

The study evaluated the effect of sex and slaughter weight on carcass traits and non-carcass components of 1,489 horses (739 geldings and 750 females, classified into eight groups according to their weight). Data were analyzed under a completely randomized design. Geldings had a higher (P < 0.05) hot carcass yield (HCY) and cold carcass yield (CCY) than females; however, fat yellowness values (b*) were greater (P < 0.05) in females. Slaughter weight (SW) affected the carcass characteristics. Hot carcass weight (HCW), cold carcass weight (CCW), HCY, and CCY increased (P < 0.05) in accordance with slaughter weight, while cool loss percentage (CL%) was lower (P < 0.05) in horses weighing more than 300 kg. In addition, the non-carcass components decreased (P < 0.05) as the weight of the horses increased. In conclusion, sex and body weight are factors to consider in the production of equine meat since they affect carcass characteristics and noncarcass components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Nowadays disparities as for sex in patients with serious diseases can be found, which has not been explained in the clinical-epidemiological studies carried out until the moment. Objective: To identify the differences according to sex in patients admitted to intensive care units. Methods: An observational and prospective study of 187 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Provincial General Hospital was carried out in Granma that included the months of November and December, 2018- 2020. Among the analyzed variables we can mention: age, sex, origin, diagnosis at admission, state when discharged from the unit, hospital stay, syndrome of systemic inflammatory response, stage of the sepsis, risk factors, community acquired infections and required treatment. Results: In the investigation most of the patients corresponded to female sex (60.9 %) and the mean age was 31.6 and 49.6 years in women and men, respectively (p=0.000). Also, significant differences existed as for the origin (p=0.012) and the initial diagnoses (p=0.018); while the average of the APACHE II was 7.2 in women and 11.6 in men (p=0.000) and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score had a mean of 0.7 and 2.0, in that same order (p=0.000). Conclusions: The patients of male sex presented average age, diagnosis, origin, seriousness and dysfunction of organs significantly different to those of female sex. Although disparities were not appreciated as for risk factors and infections associated with the community, the frequency of men that require treatment was significantly higher.

Background. The early psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown is greater in people with mental disorders. This study explored the differences in the psychological impact on people with an anxiety disorder by sex in Spain. Methods. Cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative study of the data provided by participants in an anonymous online survey between March 19 and 26, 2020. The ad hoc questionnaire included sociodemographic, clinical, and variable data related to COVID-19, along with questions about coping strategies, and the Spanish versions of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Impact of Event Scale (IES). Descriptive bivariate analyses and logistic regression models were used. Results. Of the 21,207 participants, 1617 (7.6%) people with self-reported anxiety disorder were analyzed [1347 (83.3%) females; 270 (16.7%) males]. The psychological impact was greater on women than men with statistically significant differences in each subscale of the DASS-21 and subscales of the IES. After adjusting for potential confounding variables, it was observed that being a woman was associated with higher scores on the intrusive and avoidant thoughts subscales. Conclusions. Our study suggests that women with an anxiety disorder are a group vulnerable to a greater negative impact on mental health and, especially, symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Este artículo compara las diferencias en el desempeño del ejecutivo central y la agenda viso-espacial en preescolares según su nivel socioeconómico, mediante el trabajo con 60 preescolares entre los 5 años y 3 meses y 6 años y 2 meses, de diferente nivel socioeconómico: 30 de nivel socioeconómico bajo y medio-bajo; 30 de nivel socioeconómico alto. También compara el rendimiento según sexo. Para la evaluación del ejecutivo central, se recurrió a la subprueba Búsqueda de Símbolos del WPPSI-III, mientras que la agenda viso-espacial se evaluó por medio de la subprueba de Claves del WPPSI-III. En el caso del nivel socioeconómico, se empleó un cuestionario que midió el ingreso mensual de los padres de familia o encargados legales. El enfoque de la investigación es de tipo cuantitativo, debido a que las variables de estudio se midieron de forma numérica. La comparación realizada con una t de Student revela que los preescolares de nivel socioeconómico alto obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en ambas subpruebas; sin embargo, no hubo distinción por sexo. Por ello, de acuerdo con la muestra analizada, se concluye que en el contexto costarricense factores como el ingreso mensual de los padres o encargados legales, el lugar de residencia, el nivel educativo de los padres y el acceso a la educación pública o privada mostraron estar asociadas de manera estadísticamente significativa en el rendimiento de las tareas relacionadas con la agenda viso-espacial y el ejecutivo central de los preescolares. Por su parte, el sexo no repercute en el desempeño de la agenda viso-espacial y el ejecutivo central.

El texto realiza un ejercicio teórico que parte de la hipótesis: es posible traducir la reivindicación del derecho al placer sexual en una reflexión sobre la voz sexual propia tal como aparece en Borderlands/La Frontera de la poeta, académica y activista chicana Gloria Anzaldúa. Esta traducción permite prestar atención a cómo el placer sexual cuestiona el horizonte normativo en el que se inserta la reivindicación del derecho, de tal suerte que no funcione afirmando una ontología de sujeto de tinte liberal (y sus consecuencias violentas), sino que se constituye como una oportunidad para su cuestionamiento.

Para conocer el nivel de ansiedad hacia las Matemáticas de los futuros maestros se aplica desde el curso 2012-13 al 2018-19, el cuestionario de Fennema y Sherman (1976), compuesto de 12 ítems tipo Likert de 1 a 5. De los 895 alumnos, uno de cada dos tiene ansiedad alta o muy alta hacia las Matemáticas con una ansiedad media de 2.99, la diferencia máxima entre cursos es de 37 centésimas, las mujeres tienen más ansiedad ante las matemáticas que los hombres y tres de cada cinco estudiantes se ponen nerviosos y están intranquilos durante un examen de matemáticas.

A presente investigação procurou explorar a relação entre ciberabuso no namoro e sensibilidade moral numa amostra de estudantes universitários. A amostra foi constituída por 239 estudantes universitários com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 49 anos (M = 21.50; DP = 4.70). Foram utilizados como instrumentos a Escala de Sensibilidade Moral (ESE), o Questionário sobre Ciberabuso no Namoro (CibAN) e um questionário sociodemográfico. Os principais resultados sugerem que existem diferenças em função do sexo nas dimensões Ler e Expressar Emoções, Tomar Perspetiva dos Outros, Cuidado ao conectar-se com outros e Gerar Interpretações e Opções, sendo que o sexo feminino, de um modo geral, apresentou níveis superiores comparativamente ao sexo masculino. Relativamente à variável ciberabuso no namoro, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em função do sexo nas dimensões vitimação – agressão direta e perpetração – agressão direta, sendo que o sexo masculino apresentou maior pontuação face ao sexo feminino em ambas. Verificaram-se ainda correlações negativas significativas entre dimensões do ciberabuso e dimensões da sensibilidade moral. Face aos resultados evidenciados, considera-se de extrema relevância a implementação de programas de intervenção direcionados para o desenvolvimento de competências ligadas à sensibilidade moral pois estas parecem permitir o desenvolvimento de comportamentos pró-sociais, contribuindo assim para a diminuição de comportamentos desviantes.

En 1976 Manuel Puig publicó El beso de la mujer araña, su cuarta novela. El contexto en la Argentina era sumamente peligroso, las turbulencias del tercer peronismo habían dado lugar al autodenominado Proceso de reorganización nacional, la dictadura más dura y violenta que experimentó el país. Sin embargo, Puig ya se encontraba exiliado en México, luego de haber sido perseguido por su libro The Buenos Aires Affair, que le valió una amenaza de muerte de la Triple A (Alianza Anticomunista Argentina) en 1974. Era la primera vez que Puig publicaba la primera edición de uno de sus libros fuera de Argentina, donde la Junta Militar había renovado la prohibición que pesaba sobre su nombre. A pesar de la distancia impuesta con su lectorado, El beso de la mujer araña estaba claramente dirigida al público argentino a manera de un ajuste de cuentas y, al mismo tiempo, resistencia.

Resumo Fundamento A maioria da evidência sobre o impacto da síndrome COVID pós-aguda (PACS, do inglês, post-acute COVID-19 syndrome) descreve sintomas individuais sem correlacioná-los com exames de imagens. Objetivos Avaliar sintomas cardiopulmonares, seus preditores e imagens relacionadas em pacientes com COVID-19 após alta hospitalar. Métodos Pacientes consecutivos, que sobreviveram à COVID-19, foram contatados 90 dias após a alta hospitalar. A equipe de desfechos clínicos (cega quanto aos dados durante a internação) elaborou um questionário estruturado avaliando sintomas e estado clínico. Uma análise multivariada foi realizada abordando a evolução da COVID-19, comorbidades, ansiedade, depressão, e estresse pós-traumático durante a internação, e reabilitação cardíaca após a alta. O nível de significância usado nas análises foi de 5%. Resultados Foram incluídos 480 pacientes (idade 59±14 anos, 67,5% do sexo masculino) que receberam alta hospitalar por COVID-19; 22,3% necessitaram de ventilação mecânica. A prevalência de pacientes com sintomas cardiopulmonares relacionados à PACS (dispneia, cansaço/fadiga, tosse e desconforto no peito) foi de 16,3%. Vários parâmetros de tomografia computadorizada do tórax e de ecocardiograma foram similares entre os pacientes com e sem sintomas cardiopulmonares. A análise multivariada mostrou que sintomas cardiopulmonares foram relacionados de maneira independente com sexo feminino (OR 3,023; IC95% 1,319-6,929), trombose venosa profunda durante a internação (OR 13,689; IC95% 1,069-175,304), nível elevado de troponina (OR 1,355; IC95% 1,048-1,751) e de proteína C reativa durante a internação (OR 1,060; IC95% 1,023-1,097) e depressão (OR 6,110; IC95% 2,254-16,558). Conclusão Os sintomas cardiopulmonares relacionados à PACS 90 dias após a alta hospitalar são comuns e multifatoriais. Além dos marcadores trombóticos, inflamatórios e de lesão miocárdica durante a internação, sexo feminino e depressão foram associados independentemente com sintomas cardiopulmonares relacionados à PACS. Esses resultados destacaram a necessidade de uma abordagem multifacetada direcionada a pacientes susceptíveis.

Este artículo intenta mediante un ejercicio de reflexión señalar los cambios y transformaciones en la vida cotidiana de las personas, como producto de la imposición de medidas de aislamiento social obligatorio por parte del agente estatal, ante la propagación de la pandemia Covid-19. Para su desarrollo, se utilizó el método cualitativo bajo una revisión bibliográfica de fuentes documentales, del área de las ciencias sociales (sociología y antropología) y humanas (filosofía), ubicadas tanto en bases de datos como en repositorios institucionales. Con miras, a hacer un texto más ameno, se involucraron informaciones estadísticas de carácter institucional y periodístico, a fin de favorecer la comprensión frente al aumento en el uso de la informática y prótesis digitales, en la interacción socio sexual vivida por el mundo durante la dinámica social de asilamiento causada por la infección del nuevo coronavirus. Como resultado, cabe señalar la presencia de una temporalidad caracterizada por la tristeza y angustia ante las posibilidades reales de vivir y el acecho permanente de nuestras fantasías ahora digitalizadas, cuestión que no solo aflige al sujeto, sino lo hace redefinir sus prácticas de vida ancladas al capital (consumo), sexualidad (sexo-seducción) y formas de constitución subjetiva, dada la utilización tecno-digital que este hace, para satisfacer su deseo sexual y generar lazos sociales. Durante la etapa de aislamiento, la virtualidad, no solo reveló el carácter dual (cercanía/lejanía) del relacionamiento social, sino también, cómo esa modulación virtual convierte al sujeto en fragmentos de un espejo roto.

This paper proposes that exploring the use of internet pornography creates a potentially beneficial, albeit defensive liminal space that can be used therapeutically. The content of compelling sexual scenes can be viewed as the psyche's way of mastering internal trauma and masking an inner emptiness. However, from a Jungian perspective, the use of internet pornography can also be seen as a patient's distorted way of trying to make dissociated affects more bearable by triumphing over them. The sexual use of technology can express intrapsychic conflict encapsulated in what Stoller called 'microdots'. Stoller's microdots are unique scripts – a kind of emotional code that gives clinicians an opportunity to reveal unconscious processes and transcend them through meaning making. Wood's work at the Portman Clinic on the chosen 'compelling scenarios' of pornography‐addicted patients is also examined with this Jungian lens. Jung's idea of the transcendent function is used to show the value of holding the tension of fantasy and frustration provoked by intimacy. The paper illustrates how they come together within the therapeutic relationship to stimulate something new. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article from the Journal of Philosophy analyzes the gender ideology from a philosophical-feminist perspective. The phenomenological method is used to understand its origins in constructivist and postmodern thought, as well as the misguided handling of the concepts of sex and gender. The role of transactivism of transgender people in the dissemination of this ideology is highlighted. The text also criticizes queer ideology and its attempt to erase female sex and gender. The influence of John Money and Robert Stoller in the confusion between sex and gender is mentioned. The text analyzes the difference between sex and gender from Simone de Beauvoir's perspective and criticizes the interpretation that queer ideology makes of her work. Queer theory, promoted by Judith Butler, has been an aggressive attack on feminism since the 1990s. The text criticizes the influence of queer transgender people on left-wing policies in several countries, arguing that they promote neoliberal and patriarchal decisions that harm women. The article analyzes the use of the term "gender" instead of "sex roles" and criticizes the influence of queer ideology on this language change. Additionally, the use of terms such as "binary" and "non-binary" as empty concepts is criticized, and the abolition of gender is defended. [Extracted from the article]

Introduction: cancer is a disease caused by neoplastic cells that multiply uncontrollably, invading other tissues autonomously and at a distance. There are many types of cancer that can be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors. Objective: to describe the epidemiological behavior of patients with cancer diagnosis in Guantanamo province in 2019. Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in patients diagnosed with cancer in the province of Guantánamo, belonging to the country Cuba, during the year 2019. The universe was composed by the 1697 cases reported in that period. The variables age, sex, municipality and main location of the cancer were studied. The primary source of data was the Health Statistical Yearbook of Guantánamo Province. Results: it was observed that the age group older than 60 years had the highest incidence, with 1176 patients, which represents 69,29 %. The male sex was the most representative, with 870 patients, equivalent to 51,26 %. Prostate cancer was the most prevalent cancer in the male population, with 220 patients, representing 25,28 %. Conclusions: cancer is an important health problem for the Guantanamo population, especially in the age group over 60 years old. Male sex has a higher incidence, and prostate, breast and skin cancer are the most frequent in the population studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Socio-emotional intelligence influences psychosocial adjustment and the prevention of mental health problems, making it necessary to promote its development in key stages such as adolescence. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention to increase socio-emotional intelligence in Mexican high school students. Quasi-experimental study, design of a group with pre-test and post-test. 645 students from 15 high schools in Jalisco, Mexico participated. The short version of the EQi-SF Emotional Quotient Questionnaire was applied before and after an intervention of 10 weekly sessions of 1 hour each. For the entire sample, differences were found in adaptability (p = .004), interpersonal competence (p = .034), and total EQi (p = .014). In men there were differences in adaptability (p = .012), and in women in anger management (p = .005) and total EQi (p = .005). The intervention was partially effective and in a differentiated way for men and women. A greater systematization of the sessions is required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adolescence is a period in human life where a decline in interest and motivation towards academic aspects is observed, and the immaturity of students can lead to complications in learning activities. This meta-analytic review examines the relationship between motivation and academic performance, as well as variables that may influence it, such as gender or age. It includes 48 selected databases based on inclusion and exclusion criteria focusing on key topics such as temporality (2012-2021), clear statistics, samples centered on adolescence, and academic performance measured through standardized tests. The steps employed for the eligibility of included studies were based on a peer-reviewed manual review of titles, abstracts, and ultimately, a final step of comprehensive manuscript review, resulting in a total sample of 144,012 participants with a mean age of 14.65 years. The results reveal a significant moderate positive effect size between motivation and academic performance (r = 0.327; p < 0.001), with no significant differences found in the moderating variables of gender and age. Therefore, it is concluded that motivation is a strong predictor of academic success without a moderating effect found for these specific life stage variables. These findings have practical implications in terms of pedagogy, suggesting the implementation of motivational interventions in the adolescent classroom to enhance academic performance.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a painful disease of the trigeminal nerve, triggered by chewing or manipulating the gums. It is urgent for the dentist to be aware of this pathology of non-odontogenic pain, avoiding root canals and extractions for proper interconsultation with neurology and neurosurgery. Purpose: To identify the most common etiology of TN in patients treated at EsSalud Cusco from January 2019 to August 2022. Method: Observational type, descriptive and retrospective design; the calculated sample of 127 medical records was obtained according to inclusive criteria; the instrument validated by specialists, computerized data from medical records; the variables, measured in data collection sheets by a single evaluator in an Excel sheet. For the most common etiology variable, the scores were according to predisposing factors and etiological factors; while for the NT variable, according to the types of NT and pain scales, both measured by international standards. Finally, the type of analysis was descriptive statistics, the score relationship thanks to Pearson's partial correlation coefficient, and interpreted according to Cohen's Kappa values. Results: Most common etiology variable: Predisposing factor, sex at 79.5 % and as an etiological factor, unknown etiology at 55.1 %. Variable NT: idiopathic type at 34.6 %; according to the EVA scale, of intense pain at 59.1 %. Conclusion: According to chi-square 879, the average relationship of the most common etiology of NT has sex as a predisposing factor, being female the most affected at 79.5 %; and unknown etiology as an etiological factor in 55.1 %.
