Drawing on the aesthetics of engagement proposed by the philosopher Arnold Berleant, this article sets out an environmental aesthetic approach to the human geographic debate about ruins. By adopting a relational understanding of self and world, the focus is on the immersive and multisensory experience of ruins including (im)material, bodily and cognitive accounts. Sensitive recording is introduced as a method to make experiences accessible in their situativity and fragility. Based on an empirical case study in the derelict Beelitz sanatorium in Germany, the article reveals three central qualities of experience that can be encountered in the ruins: emotive, challenging and irritating qualities. Such experiential qualities bring to light the significance of situative tensions at the threshold of absence and presence, past and present, familiar and unfamiliar, or vitality and lifelessness. By describing such tensions, we gain greater insight into the disruption of the familiar. Therefore, we can assess the emergent qualities of experience with the concepts of 'haunting' and 'uncanny'. Furthermore, we discover that encounters with the derelict place reveal qualities of wellbeing and connectedness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to analyze the psychometric properties of the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale (SHIS) in Colombian university students. The study involved a cross-sectional, instrumental design. Two hundred and fourteen university students aged between 18 and 30 years participated and responded to the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale (SHIS) by Bringsén et al. (2009). Results: Regarding structural equation modeling, the SHIS scale proposed a 10-item model with four factors emphasizing mental health, psychophysical health, emotional health, and energy in health, which obtained the best goodness-of-fit. The total variance of the questionnaire was 62.16%, with an internal consistency index = .81. Conclusion: The SHIS presents acceptable psychometric properties for measuring perceived health indicators in Colombian university students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to the Authentic Happiness Theory, pleasure, meaning, and engagement are three ways to achieve happiness, and the Orientations to Happiness Scale assesses these pathways. Many pieces of evidence exist regarding the scale's validity and reliability in Europe, Asia, and North America, but the historical and cultural particularities of Latin America suggest differences in its comprehension and structure when applied to Latin American samples. We provided evidence regarding the content validity, internal structure, and convergence of the scale for a sample of 1416 Mexicans. A panel of experts validated the Spanish version through a process of English-Spanish translation, back-translation, and judgment. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a twofactor structure: pleasure and meaning. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a reasonable model fit. Finally, the scale correlated with another similar measure, serving as an assessment criterion. We discussed the implications of these results in understanding happiness and psychometric assessment in diverse cultural contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the association of housing configurations reflected by different regimes with more specifically determined elements of the welfare state regime, which are pension regimes. The study aims to answer the question of whether the linkage between housing and pensions can be recognized also at the “regime” level. For this purpose, in our analysis, we review and employ the existing typologies of housing and pension regimes identified in the previous literature. The paper presents the results of empirical research comprising comparisons between housing and pension regimes, with reference to decommodification and stratification, as well as homeownership in 24 welfare states. We found little empirical evidence for the existence of a straightforward correspondence between housing regimes and pension regimes. Nonetheless, our analysis reveals some findings that refer to common characteristics in terms of decommodification and stratification in both domains. This could be also a premise for further research to investigate the nexus between pensions and housing by identifying similarities within joint housing‐pension regimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of meaning in life is fundamental in well-being research, yet its exploration in applied settings remains limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a meaning-focused intervention in the workplace. We implemented a six-week meaning in life intervention that targeted enhancing coherence, purpose, and significance in both personal and professional domains. The participants included 9 workers from the Spanish armed forces who voluntarily participated in the intervention. We utilized a case study design to evaluate the intervention's feasibility and acceptability. Attendance rates were high, with 77.78% of participants expressing overall satisfaction with the intervention. We analyzed pre- and post-intervention data on participants' levels of meaning in life, meaningful work, burnout, engagement, well-being, and depression. Significant changes were observed in 33% of the sample regarding meaning in life and in 22% concerning meaningful work, professional efficacy, and overall well-being. This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of our meaning-focused intervention, suggesting its potential efficacy. Through case series studies, we have highlighted the importance of cultivating meaning in life as an essential skill in today's world, crucial for maintaining robust mental health in the face of adversities.

Mother–offspring communication is especially crucial for social species in order to synchronize activities essential for early survival including nursing, resting, maintaining proximity during group movements between food or water sources, and locating one another if separated in a large social group. One of the most social ungulate species in North America is the American Bison (Bison bison), formerly known as buffalo. Adult female bison associate with their young for over a year and communication between mother and offspring is likely essential for establishing and maintaining a bond upon which the life of a calf depends. One goal of this study was to quantify and compare the acoustic form of vocalizations of adult female, subadult, and calf bison and to determine how age classes differed in call structure. The other goal was to identify the contexts in which bison vocalized. Vocalizations of 101 bison (53 adult females, 15 subadults, 33 calves) in a semi-free-ranging herd in Montana were analyzed and found to be pulsatile sounds, unlike vocalizations of bison bulls or domestic cows and calves. Vocalizations of bison cows, subadults, and calves differed significantly in total duration, numbers of pulses, pulse duration, and pulse rate. Seven distinct call contexts were identified. The majority of calls were "moving-on calls" (39%), when a cow called and her calf ran to her side and the 2 moved on together, and "contact calls" (21%) when a cow called and her calf called back but neither changed their location. "Imprinting calls" and "nursing calls" were also identified. Mother–offspring acoustic communication in bison appears especially critical for coordinating movements. Understanding the role of acoustic communication in maintaining the bond between bison mothers and their offspring can contribute to the humane management and welfare of this iconic species.

In the decades following the Mexican Revolution, many sick people traveled to Mexico City, where most hospitals had traditionally been located, in search of medical care. This article argues that these healing journeys were a crucial component of how the Mexican welfare state functioned in practice between the late 1930s and the early 1960s. During this period, the postrevolutionary government ostensibly sought to expand the population's access to health care. However, despite some efforts in this direction, limited investment in public health and social services jeopardized citizens' access to adequate medical and hospital care. At the end of this period, most of the country's public hospitals were still concentrated in the capital, while the medical infrastructure in some provinces was virtually nonexistent. In this context, healing journeys became one of the ways in which citizens sought to realize the promised right to health care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research was to study beliefs about relationships during emerging adulthood, specifically romantic love myths and types of love, and their relationship with well-being, taking into account gender differences. A total of 631 young people between 18 and 29 years of age participated. The Spanish version of the Love Attitudes Scale, the Romantic Love Myths Scale, and the Flourishing Scale were used. The results showed a general tendency towards Eros love and a greater inclination of males towards Altruistic and Playful love, while females were more inclined towards Pragmatic love. Likewise, a low level of acceptance of romantic myths was observed, being higher in men. Higher levels of Eros and Pragmatic love were related to higher flourishing, while higher levels of Playful and Obsessive love predicted lower flourishing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Guinea pigs in intensive production generates an imperative necessity of physio-pathological bases for diagnosing their state of welfare, health, and production; those which are available for this species are referred to as laboratory or companion animal. The aim of this research is to determine changes in hematological and blood metabolites profiles in relation to age of Cavia porcellus reared in intensive system at 660 masl in humid tropic. For this purpose, forty 15-120 days old guinea pig in healthy conditions from the inti x Peru lines born in the humid tropic were used and the evaluation ages were 15-21, 22-35, 36-60 and 61-120 days. Blood samples were obtained by puncture of the cephalic vein; profiles of erythrocytes (RBC), total leucocytes (WBC), lymphocytes, granulocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCV, MCH and MCHC indices were determined. In serum, profiles of glucose, total protein (TP), albumin, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, total bilirubin (TB), and direct bilirubin (DB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined. Hemoglobin profile, MCH and MCHC indices increased as age increased (p < 0;05) and the erythrocytes, leucocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin profiles and MCV, MCH, MCHC indices showed the narrower interval ranges in the 15-35- and 61-120-days old guinea pigs. Profiles of TP, DB and AST showed increase with age (p < 0;05) and the DB, AST, ALT, and TC profiles showed the narrower interval range at 36-120 days old. The hematological and blood metabolites profiles of guinea pigs raised in intensive system in humid tropical conditions show significant changes with production age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Therapeutic Gardens are green spaces focused on improving mental and physical healing, as well as provide wellbeing. Thus, these green spaces can constitute an important extension of the hospital space, complementing or even adding new functions to healthcare institutions. This article aims to contribute to the assessment of the conversion of current green spaces and permeable areas in 48 portuguese public hospital campuses into TG through the evaluation of 1) the current usability of green spaces, in order to assess whether the existing green spaces have structures, furniture, etc. that allow their use or whether it is necessary to construct them; 2) the existing tree cover in green spaces, as it is structural, allows to have a mature garden more quickly and provide more ecosystem services and 3) the proximity to hospital buildings with the aim of evaluating part of the direct access required by the TG. We conclude on the lack of usable green spaces and tree cover in most hospital campuses, which would imply a greater effort to reconvert these spaces. However, the existing green spaces and tree cover are located close to the hospital buildings, which also makes the conversion possible. We also noticed a lack of specifications for the construction of TG, mainly for specialized hospitals such as those for children and older adults, and also for evaluating green spaces quality in hospitals.

This paper describes a model for thinking of how participants make sense of temporal aspects of their lived experience. The paper argues for the valuable input that interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) can make to exploring this experiential timeline. After a brief introduction to IPA as an experiential research methodology, I will describe the growing interest in longitudinal research among qualitative researchers and outline recent thinking on this by leading researcher Bren Neale. I will then point to the distinctive contribution IPA can make to understanding personal experience of time and change. I will present a taxonomy of my IPA research engaging with it and illustrate each study type with research I have been involved in. During the paper we will see the way in which there are indeed two time-travelers involved in this process: researcher and the participant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The nineteenth century was a dynamic period for hacienda workers on the south coast of Peru. Former Jesuit vineyards with two of the largest enslaved African-descended populations in rural coastal Peru—the haciendas of San Joseph (San José) and San Francisco Xavier (San Javier)—and their annexes in Nasca's Ingenio Valley underwent dramatic transformations with the replacement of their grapevines with cotton and the introduction of new types of workers. Cantonese indentured workers were contracted beginning in the 1830s, and the majority-enslaved workforce was legally emancipated in 1854. Seasonally, highland Andean workers joined the demographically shifting permanent hacienda population. We use evidence from excavated midden contexts at San Joseph, San Xavier, and San Joseph's annex of Hacienda La Ventilla to explore these changing agroindustrial dynamics and worker well-being in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Despite the transformations at the estates, we find that culinary practices developed by enslaved Africans and their descendants during the Jesuit administration, such as the preparation of one-pot meals and stews, continued into the republican era among Cantonese indentured laborers and wage workers of Indigenous, mestizo, and Cantonese origins. We argue that such strategies centered on foodways were a crucial aspect of worker self-care regimes and broader well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research intended to adapt and validate the self-report job precariousness scale for the Brazilian gig work context and to investigate the association of the dimensions of job precariousness with gig workers' subjective experiences and work outcomes. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on a sample of 504 Brazilian gig workers. In addition, zero-order correlations were performed on a sample of 304 Brazilian gig workers for criterion validity analysis. Results supported a four-factor structure and the bi-factor model, reinforcing the assumption that the job precarious scale is a multidimensional measure with a hierarchical structure. Reliability analysis (Alpha coefficient and bifactor indices) indicates that the scale presented adequate internal consistency for all four dimensions and the full scale. Results regarding criterion validity demonstrate that job precariousness is negatively linked to well-being and positively associated with ill-being; in addition, the dimensions of job precariousness and remuneration have significative associations with all variables of work outcome investigated. This study introduces the Brazilian version of the self-report job precariousness scale with robust psychometric qualities to assess workers' perception of precarious working conditions in the Brazilian gig work context. In addition, it broadens the scope of research on precarious working conditions and their impact on psychological experiences and work outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La estética cotidiana es una disciplina filosófica que estudia el carácter estético en la vida diaria, por fuera de los dominios del arte. Este artículo indaga, en detalle, por una fenomenología de la estética cotidiana experimentada en las cosas, eventos o situaciones que aparecen en las vivencias del día a día del del individuo, y que le proporciona sentimientos felicidad o bienestar. Para ello se hace un análisis del texto literario Momentos de inadvertida felicidad, de Francesco Piccolo y se examina la teoría de Thomas Leddy, una de las propuestas más influyentes en la concepción de la estética cotidiana, a fin de configurar un referente fenomenológico de esta. Los resultados indican la existencia de la relación estrecha entre la estética cotidiana y el bienestar, y muestran que el asombro, la imaginación, la mirada y la reflexión, son elementos decisivos en el surgimiento de la experiencia estética en la vida diaria. No obstante, se discute que los hallazgos no constituyen un modelo para seguir, sino que dan pistas de cómo llevar la teoría de la estética cotidiana a la práctica, y en tal sentido, se requieren nuevos estudios que amplíen el panorama pragmático de la experiencia de la estética cotidiana.

El propósito de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de estrés académico y su impacto en la atención selectiva de estudiantes universitarios. Para ello, se identificó el nivel de estrés académico y se analizaron los niveles de atención selectiva experimentados por el alumnado. El estudio es de carácter cuantitativo y correlacional. Se aplicó el inventario SISCO SV y el examen de atención D2; mientras que la correlación se realizó a través de Tau-b de Kendall. La muestra estuvo constituida por 305 estudiantes de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Los principales resultados indican que el 36 % tenía un nivel severo de estrés y el 49 % un nivel moderado. En cuanto a la atención, el 37 % tenía una capacidad de procesamiento visual baja y el 56 % tenía una concentración baja. Además, se encontró una fuerte estimulación negativa entre la atención selectiva y el estrés académico, lo que sugiere que la capacidad de procesamiento visual y la concentración disminuyen con altos niveles de estrés. En definitiva, este estudio resalta la importancia de abordar el estrés académico como una prioridad en las estrategias educativas y de salud mental.

Introducción. La motivación y la inteligencia emocional son claves en la educación actual. La motivación impulsa la acción intencionada y la inteligencia emocional reduce la frustración, mejorando la consecución de los objetivos educativos. Los objetivos del estudio fueron describir y determinar la relación entre el nivel de motivación autodeterminada y la inteligencia emocional de los estudiantes de secundaria en las clases de educación física y comprobar si existen diferencias en función del género y edad. Método. Participaron en el estudio un total de 607 estudiantes de entre 12 y 18 años (M = 14,911; DT = .1,46) de tres centros educativos de la Región de Murcia. A los participantes se les administró la adaptación española de la Sport Motivation Scale-II adaptada a la Educación Física para medir el nivel de motivación y la versión española de la Trait Meta-Mood Scale para medir la inteligencia emocional percibida. Resultados. Se demostró que los tipos de motivación más autodeterminados correlacionaban positivamente con las dimensiones de la inteligencia emocional (atención, claridad y reparación). Los chicos tenían medias más altas que las chicas en todas las formas de motivación excepto en amotivación, y también mostraban valores más altos en claridad emocional, mientras que las chicas tenían medias más altas en atención emocional. Discusión. Los resultados son alentadores para esta asignatura, ya que según los resultados y siguiendo la literatura, la mayoría de los alumnos disfrutan aprendiendo y participando en clase, a pesar de las diferencias de edad. Mientras que los chicos muestran una mayor comprensión de su relevancia y beneficios, lo que les motiva a participar más activamente para disfrutar, las chicas tienden a prestar más atención a sus emociones. En conclusión, es necesario promover una mayor motivación interna para mejorar la inteligencia emocional en los estudiantes de educación secundaria, especialmente en las chicas.

El LACRE 2023 marcó el décimo aniversario de este importante congreso latinoamericano, realizado de manera virtual los días 15 y 16 de junio de 2023. Organizado por la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Católica de Chile en conjunto con el Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons de Canadá, el congreso reunió a más de 400 participantes de 12 países. El evento incluyó dos presentaciones plenarias, dos mesas redondas, dos simposios, 6 talleres, 24 presentaciones orales y 50 trabajos en modalidad póster. Las presentaciones plenarias fueron lideradas por el Dr. Brian Hodges del Royal College de Canadá, quien abordó los desafíos de la educación de residentes en una era hipertecnologizada, y el Dr. Melchor Sánchez de la Universidad Autónoma de México, quien discutió el rol de los residentes como docentes. Los temas principales abordados incluyeron: Estrategias de apoyo a residentes con dificultades Evaluación de residentes Bienestar y autocuidado post-pandemia Adaptación de la educación basada en competencias al contexto local Balance entre excelencia académica y bienestar integral Los trabajos de investigación presentados reflejaron la evolución de la educación médica de postgrado en América Latina, abarcando temas como: Formación en profesionalismo Autocuidado Simulación Razonamiento clínico Aprendizaje gamificado Estrategias de evaluación basadas en competencias Trabajo en equipo Un aspecto destacable fue cómo la comunidad latinoamericana ha desarrollado una nueva cultura en educación médica de postgrado durante estos diez años, integrando nuevos modelos y conceptos. El congreso también ha servido como plataforma para impulsar otras iniciativas importantes como los Encuentros Internacionales de Líderes en Educación Médica (IMELF) y la creación del Centro de Excelencia para la Educación Médica de Post Grado (CoAE). La pandemia de COVID-19, si bien forzó el formato virtual del congreso, fue aprovechada como una oportunidad para generar aprendizajes que transformaron las prácticas formativas, haciéndolas más creativas y eficientes. Esto se reflejó en el título del congreso: "Nuevas Perspectivas de Educación para Residentes". El LACRE ha evolucionado hasta convertirse no solo en un espacio de intercambio académico sino también en un punto de encuentro para la comunidad médica educativa latinoamericana. Para el próximo congreso, se planea volver a la presencialidad, respondiendo a la solicitud de los participantes de "volver a encontrarse de verdad", manteniendo su compromiso de apoyar a directores de programa, educadores clínicos, diseñadores curriculares y residentes en un mundo en constante cambio.
