Objective: To determine the level of stress in parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at Instituto para el Desarrollo Infantil (Institute for Child Development) - ARIE, San Juan de Lurigancho (SJL) branch, 2022. Materials and methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study at Instituto para el Desarrollo Infantil - ARIE, SJL branch. Lima Peru. All parents (n = 79) with children aged ≤ 8 years with ASD who were undergoing therapy in 2022 were included; therefore, sampling was not required. The PSI/SF (Parenting Stress Index, Short Form) was used to measure stress in parents. This instrument has been used in other research studies, validating it with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.93 to determine parental stress. The variables sex of the parent, sex of the child, age, level of education and type of family were analyzed with SPSS V.27 using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Results: A total of 79 parents were surveyed: average age 35.20, SD 5.217, predominantly females (68.35 %). Of the parents, 73.41 % had higher education. Parental stress perceived by mothers (83.33 %) was slightly higher than that of fathers (60 %) (p < 0.05). There is an association between the level of parental stress and the sex of the child, with males (82.1 %) causing more stress compared to females (60.9 %). Single-parent families have shown a higher level of stress, with 95.46 %, as opposed to two-parent families, with 64.42 %) (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Most parents with children with ASD experience clinically significant stress, with scores greater than 90, with mothers having a higher degree of stress. There is a significant association between parental stress and the sex of the child and the type of family (p < 0.05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we aim to share the volumes of the carpal bone and the ratio of these volumes to the total volume of wrist bones from Computed Tomography (CT) images obtained from individuals of different ages and sex using 3D Slicer. Right wrist CT images of 0.625 mm slice thickness of 42 healthy individuals (21 female, 21 male) of both sexes were included in our study. Volume calculations were made by loading the images into 3D Slicer, an open-source software package. In this study, mean capitate volume was the largest in both sexes (male 3479.9±679.2; female 2207.1±272.1 mm3), while pisiform had the smallest mean volume (male 810.0±141.2; female 566.6±97.7 mm3). This order was ordered from largest to smallest as hamate, scaphoid, trapezium, lunate, triquetrum, trapezoid, and pisiform. According to this study, carpal bone volumes were larger in males than in females (p<0.001). The ratio of each carpal bone volume to the total carpal bone volume was calculated according to sex and it was found that there was no difference (p>0.05). In this study, it was seen that carpal bone volume differed according to sex. However, it was observed that the bone volumes of both sexes took up the same amount in the total bone volume. This information will be very useful in sex determination, 3D anatomical material creation, implant applications and reconstructive surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artigo desenvolve uma compreensão original do amor erótico como modo de ser, experiência vivida distinta da paixão e do sexo. Através de citações literárias, explora as condições de possibilidade do amor manifesto por sua ênfase, em diálogo aberto com referências filosóficas da tradição fenomenológica, e por sua privação, à luz das patologias do amor como derivadas de paixão e sexo: o enamoramento e a perversão sexual. O amor e suas patologias são dialeticamente relacionados com os processos vividos do amadurecimento, dos pontos de vista da psicopatologia fenômeno-estrutural e da literatura. Na sequência, o orgasmo e a arte são apresentados como expressões do amor. Conjectura-se, ainda, a possibilidade de uma terapêutica às patologias do amor por meio da abertura intersubjetiva ao amor; e, por fim, assinala-se o amor vivido, enquanto experiência dual de aprofundamento intercorporal, como superação antropológica do dualismo.

Existe un interés creciente por los aspectos motivacionales en los practicantes de deportes de combate y artes marciales por la singularidad de estas modalidades deportivas. El objetivo de este estudio fue establecer las relaciones entre las variables descriptivas y el clima motivacional de los deportistas que practican deportes de combate y artes marciales. Este estudio transversal se realizó en 303 deportistas que practican deportes de combate y artes marciales en España. El clima motivacional se evaluó utilizando los cuestionarios de clima motivacional (PMCSQ-2). Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas entre el clima motivacional y el género, el IMC, las etapas de desarrollo, el nivel de competencia y para los deportistas retirados; sin embargo, no se encontraron diferencias significativas para los sujetos retirados con respecto a aquellos que continuaron compitiendo y las horas semanales de práctica. Estos resultados parecen sugerir la conveniencia de utilizar estrategias diferenciadas, según sexo, edad, nivel de competición o para los deportistas que llevan un periodo de tiempo retirados a la hora de trabajar los factores protectores que podrían permitir aumentar el disfrute o el rendimiento en los DC y AM.

Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de estrés en padres de niños diagnosticados de trastorno del espectro autista (TEA), en el Instituto para el Desarrollo Infantil-ARIE, sede San Juan de Lurigancho (SJL), 2022. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y transversal en el Instituto para el Desarrollo Infantil-ARIE, sede SJL, Lima-Perú. Se incluyeron a todos los padres (n = 79) con hijos ≤8 años con TEA y que cursaban terapias durante el 2022, por lo que no se requirió muestreo. Se utilizó el cuestionario de estrés parental (PSI-SF) para hallar el estrés en los padres. Este test se ha utilizado en otras investigaciones, y posee una valoración de coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,93. Se analizaron las variables sexo de los padres y del menor, edad, grado de instrucción y tipo de familia con el programa SPSS, versión 27, mediante estadística descriptiva y chi cuadrado. Resultados: Se encuestó a 79 padres, cuya edad promedio fue 35,20 (DE: 5,217) y cuyo sexo predominante fue el femenino (68,35 %). El 73,41 % de padres tiene estudios superiores. El estrés parental percibido por las madres (83,33 %) es ligeramente más alto que el de los padres (60 %) (p < 0,05). Hay asociación entre el nivel de estrés de los padres y el sexo del hijo, siendo los varones (82,1 %) quienes producen mayor estrés en comparación con las mujeres (60,9 %). Las familias monoparentales han presentado mayor nivel de estrés, con un 95,46 %, a diferencia de las biparentales, con un 64,42 % (p < 0,05). Conclusiones: La mayoría de los padres y madres con hijos con TEA presentan estrés clínicamente significativo, con puntaje mayor a 90, siendo las segundas las que presentan un mayor grado de estrés. Hay asociación significativa entre el estrés parental y el sexo del hijo y el tipo de familia (p < 0,05).

Introduction: Disordered Eating Attitudes and Behaviours (DEABs) can impact both the mental and physical health of children. Early detection is crucial to prevent complications and improve outcomes. The Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) is a widely used, cost-effective tool for assessing DEABs. Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the EAT-26 by analysing its factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, and measurement invariance across sexes in Spanish schoolchildren. Method: Validation study in a sample of 718 schoolchildren. The sample was randomly divided into 2 groups, each with 359 participants, and we carried out an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the instrument. Subsequently, we assessed the internal consistency by means of the ordinal alpha, the convergent validity with the SCOFF questionnaire and the measurement invariance across the sexes. Results: The results of the EFA and CFA supported a multidimensional structure of the EAT comprising 6 factors and 21 items. These factors underlie a second-order model of DEABs. The internal consistency was adequate for most factors. The SCOFF questionnaire showed a moderate convergent validity for most of the EAT-21 factors. We found measurement invariance across the sexes. Conclusions: The abbreviated EAT-21 scale exhibited modest and promising psychometric properties, making it a suitable instrument for assessing DEABs in both sexes in educational settings. Resumen: Introducción: Las Actitudes y Comportamientos Alimentarios Desordenados (DEAB, por sus siglas en inglés) pueden afectar tanto a la salud mental como física en los niños/as. Su detección temprana es crucial para prevenir complicaciones y mejorar las posibilidades de recuperación. El Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) es una herramienta ampliamente utilizada para evaluar los DEAB debido a su costo-efectividad. Objetivo: Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del EAT-26, analizando la estructura factorial, consistencia interna, validez convergente e invarianza de medida entre ambos sexos en escolares españoles. Método: Estudio instrumental con una muestra de 718 escolares. La muestra se dividió aleatoriamente en dos grupos, cada uno con 359 participantes, realizando un Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (AFE) y un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC). Posteriormente, se estimó la consistencia interna con el alfa ordinal, la validez convergente con el cuestionario SCOFF y la invarianza de medida entre ambos sexos. Resultados: Los hallazgos del AFE y AFC respaldaron una estructura multidimensional del EAT, compuesta por seis factores y 21 ítems. Estos factores subyacen en un modelo de segundo orden de las DEAB. La consistencia interna fue suficiente para la mayoría de los factores. Se mostró una validez convergente moderada con el cuestionario SCOFF para la mayoría de los factores del EAT-21. Se alcanzó una invarianza de medida entre ambos sexos. Conclusiones: La escala abreviada EAT-21, mostró unas propiedades psicométricas modestas y prometedoras, constituyendo un instrumento adecuado para la evaluación de las DEAB, en niños y niñas, en contextos docentes.

This article develops an original understanding of erotic love as a way of being, a lived experience distinct from passion and sex. Through literary quotations, it explores the conditions of possibility for love manifest by its emphasis, in open dialogue with philosophical references from the phenomenological tradition, and by its privation, in light of the pathologies of love as derived from passion and sex: infatuation and sexual perversion. Love and its pathologies are dialectically related to the lived processes of maturation, from the perspectives of phenomenological-structural psychopathology and literature. Following this, orgasm and art are presented as expressions of love. It also conjectures the possibility of a therapy for the pathologies of love through intersubjective openness to love; and, finally, it points to lived love as a dual experience of intercorporeal deepening, and, ultimately, an anthropological overcoming of dualism.

Mexico has alarming suicide rates among adolescents and young people. Therefore the objective of the research was to explain how depression influences the manifestation of suicidal thoughts and attempts in young people and, in addition, to know if suicides in the country vary significantly according to their sex. The CHAID classification method, simple indexes, and mean difference were used to test these assumptions. The results for Sonora, Mexico show that there is a connection between depression and the manifestation of suicidal thoughts and attempts in adolescents (X2 Suicidal ideation >200, P-value < 0.01; X2 Suicidal attempt >77, P-value < 0.01). In addition, the number of youth suicides in the country from 1998 to 2021 on average is different between females and males (T-Student = 15.32, P-Value < 0.05; Mean number of suicides in males = 1150, Mean number of suicides in females = 357). We conclude a marked prevalence of depression in young people, is linked to the increase in suicides in Mexico, especially in women. This highlights the urgency of implementing gender-specific preventive strategies and promoting early awareness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was to examine possible differences by sex and stage of adolescence in the use of proactive and preventive coping, its relationships with personality and emotional adjustment. A total of 934 Spanish adolescents participated. No differences were found by sex or stage of adolescence in the use of future-oriented coping or in its relationship with adjustment scores. The differences found were centered on the dispositional profile of future-oriented coping shown by the different subgroups. The dispositional profile of proactive coping was more complex in girls and in late adolescence. In contrast, the dispositional profile of preventive coping was more complex in boys, and the differences by stage of adolescence highlighted the different weight of the personality dimensions involved. These findings point to the importance of developing programs adapted according to sex and stage of adolescence to train adolescents in the use of future-oriented coping skills and to improve their mental health.

The dorsal interosseous muscles (DIM) are intrinsic muscles of the hand located dorsally between metacarpal bones, which play a role in finger abduction. Anatomical variations of these muscles in terms of form and length have been well documented, but variations regarding sex and laterality are underexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology and morphometry of the DIM of the hand regarding sexual dimorphism and laterality. Twenty human cadavers belonging to the white individuals (n = 40 hands) with known sex and laterality were used for this study. DIMs were dissected and observed for morphology. Also, a digital calliper was used to measure the midpoint length of the DIM. The origin and insertion of all the DIM were normal with the left hand having no additional, supernumerary, and absent muscles in each compartment. The variations were only found on the right side and predominant in females: 2 out of 11 (18.18%) hands containing a space with a supernumerary muscle; 1 out of 11 (9.09%) hands having a space with a double muscle; and 1 out of 11 (9.09%) hands having a compartment with a unipennate muscle. In males, 1 out of 9 (11.11%) hands had a compartment with a supernumerary muscle. The mean midpoint length of each muscle in females and males in both hands from the first to the fourth muscle, respectively, was documented. In females on the left: 46.79 ± 3.56; 42.62 ± 3.57; 49.02 ± 4.21; 41.66 ± 2.15 and right: 47.30 ± 2.49; 39.27 ± 4.14; 45.69 ± 4.64; 38.12 ± 4.08. In males, it was on the left: 50.01 ± 3.95; 41.98 ± 3.79; 47.90 ± 4.83; 41.79 ± 4.25, and on the right: 46.65 ± 2.09; 39.01 ± 4.25; 47.47 ± 3.41; 38.31 ± 4.40. The mean midpoint length of the DIM was relatively higher on the left hand compared to the right hand in both females and males. In this study, variations regarding the supernumerary muscle, double interosseous space, and unipennate muscles were only observed on the right-hand side and predominantly in females, an insight that may guide in the treatment of fractures, stiffness of the hand, and compartment syndromes.

The aim of this study is to offer a close look to the labour carried out by women in Costa Rica according to the 1864 and 1883 censuses and to establish their relationships with gender representations through a comparative perspective. The results reveal that there were evident quantitative changes from one census to the other and that the said changes were related not only to economic, but also to cultural factors, associated to gender representations.

RESUMO: Neste ensaio, simultaneamente teórico e vivencial, reflito a partir de minha prática profissional em diálogo interdisciplinar com autores do universo da adolescência. Parto do pressuposto de que a vida é feita de encruzilhadas existenciais, sendo que numa delas a adolescência assume lugar de importância. Assumo que na encruzilhada adolescente encontram-se as descobertas que promovem as principais transformações da vida humana. Por isso, darei ênfase a três delas: a descoberta do corpo, do sexo e do amor. Concluo, reconhecendo, que o bom desenlace dessa situação estabelecerá o futuro homem e a futura mulher na vida adulta. Palavras-Chaves: Adolescência. Corpo. Sexo. Amor. ABSTRACT: In this essay, theoretical and experiential at the same time, I reflect from my professional practice in interdisciplinary dialogue with authors from the universe of adolescence. I start from the assumption that human life is made of existential crossroads, and in one of them the adolescence takes place of importance. I understand that at the teenage crossroads are the discoveries that promote the most important transformations of life. Thus, I will emphasize three of them: the discovery of the body, sex and love. I conclude, recognizing, that the good outcome of this situation will establish the future man and the future woman in adult life. Keywords: Adolescence. Body. Sex. Love.

El avance de la telefonía móvil se ha convertido en el verdadero protagonista a nivel mundial en la sociedad, influyendo tanto positiva como negativamente en las personas. Para el análisis estadístico se formularon los siguientes objetivos: (1) Conocer la influencia del curso universitario (de primero a cuarto) en el uso problemático del móvil y en la salud mental (ansiedad y depresión) y (2) Detectar variables que influyen en el uso problemático del móvil en función de sexo, curso y salud mental. La muestra estuvo constituida por 1216 adolescentes universitarios, 68.24 % mujeres y 31.76% hombres, de la Universidad de Extremadura (España) con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 24 años (M=21.46; DT=3.83). Los resultados mostraron que las mujeres son más proclives a sufrir un uso problemático del móvil, siendo en los primeros cursos donde más se acentúa. Además, se obtiene que el aumento de la ansiedad y depresión está estrechamente relacionado con el uso problemático del móvil. Para concluir se aconseja implantar programas para prevenir y detectar situaciones de uso problemático del móvil recomendando actuar en los primeros años de universidad enfocando los riesgos de salud mental y uso de móviles en las mujeres.

RESUMO: O ensaio Casamento e Amor, de Emma Goldman (1869-1940), originalmente publicado em Anarchism and Other Essays (1910), discute a relação do casamento e do amor como fatores de companheirismo e união numa ótica anarquista. Palavras-Chave: Amor livre; feminilidade; sexo. ABSTRACT: Emma Goldman's (1869-1940) essay Marriage and Love, originally published in Anarchism and Other Essays (1910), discusses the relationship of marriage and love as factors of fellowship and unity in an anarchist perspective.

En este artículo se presenta un análisis contrastivo entre la versión original y las versiones subtituladas en español peninsular y en italiano de la serie británica Sex Education (Netflix 2019). El corpus está compuesto por una selección de escenas tomadas de las primeras tres temporadas de la serie, en las que los diálogos se centran en temas relacionados con el sexo. A fin de clasificar las soluciones traductoras empleadas en las dos versiones subtituladas, se han seguido las taxonomías propuestas por Ávila-Cabrera (2023) y Molina & Hurtado Albir (2002), adaptándolas para la finalidad de nuestro estudio. El objetivo es comprobar si la representación del lenguaje de los protagonistas en los subtítulos en las lenguas comparadas consigue respetar el intento normalizador e inclusivo de la versión original inglesa, pese a los problemas de aceptabilidad planteados por la subtitulación del lenguaje tabú (Díaz Cintas & Remael, 2021) y a las restricciones propias de la modalidad traductora analizada.

Em abertura da geografia do foder, elaborou-se uma abordagem ontológica à foda geográfica. Constitui-se, para tanto, em vista fenomenológica, o sentido do sexo (o evento) e da foda (a intenção). Por mais, discute-se a Terra e o Mundo rumo aos territórios do sexo e às sexualidades do território. Dessarte, lança-se à Antiguidade com Hesíodo (séc. VII a.C.) para a cosmologia do foder geográfico: entre Gaia (Terra) e Urano (Céu), tem-se a interrupção do coito por Cronos (Tempo) irrompendo o desejo sexual – entre a transa, positiva e a trepa, negativa. Guia-se, então, à discussão filosófica, entre Sade e Sacher-Masoch (iluminismo obscuro) contra Kant (iluminismo conservador), para a constituição do território sádico (pelas dominações) e do território masoquista (pelas apropriações). Ademais, encontra-se a perversidade da globalização pelo sistema da foda global: do território (enraizador) e do mercado global (desenraizador); intensificada pelo ciberespaço. Alia-se, por fim, uma geografia foda ao geoexistencial.

En 2003, el Comité Olímpico Internacional emitió reglas de elegibilidad para personas transgénero y, desde entonces, varios organismos deportivos han desarrollado sus propias reglas. Algunas federaciones aplican reglas basadas en la autodefinición del sexo, mientras que otras aplican reglas basadas en el sexo asignado al nacer o cuando se hizo la declaración de sexo. Este artículo profundiza el debate sobre la inclusión de las personas trans en el deporte a través de la presentación del caso de estudio del rugby, cuya federación internacional presentó, en 2020, reglas exclusivistas bajo el argumento de la competencia leal y la protección de la integridad física de las mujeres cisgénero. Se presentará un análisis crítico de los fundamentos de estas reglas y se discutirán las consecuencias de enfoques similares en la carrera deportiva de las personas trans. Como metodología se realizó un análisis documental crítico a las reglas de World Rugby y se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas relacionadas con el universo deportivo en Portugal. Se observó que las reglas elaboradas crean una jerarquía entre los sexos binarios y entre las propias personas trans, se centran en medidas limitadas de comparación, como la fuerza de repetición única, y descartan factores como el aumento de la masa grasa después de la transición. Ante la ausencia de la posibilidad de seguir una carrera deportiva, existía una capacidad de agencia y compromiso en otros ámbitos que, al no ser la práctica de la competición como atletas, les permite alcanzar otras funciones importantes dentro del universo deportivo.

Fundamento: la hipertrofia cardíaca se describe macroscópicamente como un incremento del grosor de la pared y/o el septo interventricular y representa una etapa significativa previa a la insuficiencia cardíaca. Muchas afecciones cardíacas tienden a mostrar diferencias entre sexos. Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre hipertrofia cardíaca y el sexo de los pacientes de un hospital del Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en diciembre de 2022 en un hospital del Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social. Se analizaron 88 pacientes distribuidos en dos grupos: masculino y femenino, cada uno con 44 pacientes. Se utilizó la prueba estadística U de Mann-Whitney para determinar diferencias entre ambos grupos. Resultados: predominaron los pacientes en edades entre 25 y 50 años (58,7 %), tanto en el sexo masculino (57,5 %) como el femenino (60 %). En ambos grupos, la mayoría de los pacientes presentaron hipertrofia cardíaca moderada (un 52,3 % tanto de cada grupo como del total). No se pudo demostrar la existencia de diferencias entre el grado de hipertrofia cardíaca en los pacientes según su sexo (resultado de la prueba U de Mann-Whitney = 934,5; Z = -0,308; p = 0,758). Conclusiones: a pesar de la existencia de diferencias en las distribuciones, no se encontró una relación entre el sexo y el grado de hipertrofia cardíaca.

Un número significativo de la producción académica asocia la infidelidad con el comportamiento de los hombres, ya que ser infiel implica una forma de relacionarse sexual y/o emocionalmente con una persona distinta a la pareja, poniendo en riesgo su vínculo. Esto lleva a reflexionar diferencialmente sobre las conductas manifestadas tanto por hombres como por mujeres. La infidelidad en la actualidad se manifiesta de manera contradictoria a los estereotipos de género. Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender las experiencias de infidelidad en mujeres, con el fin de contrastarlas con los prejuicios existentes al respecto. Para lograrlo, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas a profundidad con 16 mujeres de la ciudad de Manizales, con edades comprendidas entre los 20 y 40 años. Sus narraciones se estudiaron a través del análisis temático, siguiendo la metodología propuesta por Max Van Manen. El estudio reveló una apertura de género en la práctica de la infidelidad, típica en la actualidad. Esta práctica es experimentada por las mujeres desde aspectos sociales, culturales y psicológicos que deben tenerse en cuenta para comprender su experiencia.

This study investigates the mediating effect of life satisfaction between parental involvement and academic achievement orientation in a sample of Chilean adolescents. Life satisfaction is conceptualised as a family resource that adolescents utilise to manage their school life. Two statistical models were adjusted using data from a subsample of 426 students in 9th to 11th grade, derived from the National Survey on Student Trajectories and Transitions in Chile. The first analysis examines the mediating role of life satisfaction between parental involvement, specifically of both father and mother and achievement orientation. The findings suggest that life satisfaction almost completely mediates the effect of paternal involvement on achievement orientation, while maternal involvement exerts a partial effect through life satisfaction. The second analysis assesses the moderating effect of the adolescent's gender on the relationship mediated by life satisfaction. The results show that gender moderates the mediation for maternal involvement, but not for paternal. This study highlights the importance of adolescents' life satisfaction as an essential mediator between family and school contexts, also emphasising the moderating effect that gender composition in relationships between parents and adolescents has on this mediation.

With the advancement of gender and sexuality studies, the breaking of taboos and the promotion of debates on the subject, a wide range of sexual orientations with which people can identify have been discovered. Sexuality is part of everyone's personality. In this field, there is no right or wrong. It is diverse, fluid and there are many different types. It may take some time to find the one(s) that suit you best. But accepting your sexuality, practicing it freely and in a healthy way, can be a liberating experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although some studies have been carried out about suicidal behavior in the adolescence in Colombia, it has been necessary to carry out research with larger samples and from different regions of the country, examining aspects of ideation such as suicidal planning, which tends to predict suicidal attempts, taking into account that sex differences in attempts and such ideation among Colombian adolescents have not been sufficiently investigated. This study examined sex differences in the number of suicide attempts and suicidal ideation (seriously thinking about suicide and planning to commit suicide in the last twelve months), among 1659 adolescents aged 13 to 19 years (54 % female), from four cities of Colombia (Bogotá, Bucaramanga, Tunja and Yopal). In addition, adolescents who reported having thought of a suicide plan were compared with those who had not, in a series of individual and socio-family variables previously related to suicidal behavior. The instruments used were the Checklist SCL-90-R, the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI), the Behavior Assessment System for Children 3rd Ed. (BASC-S3), a self-report questionnaire on psychological variables, and a self-report questionnaire on incidents of violence between parents witnessed by adolescents. Non-parametric tests (Mann Whitney U, effect size for this test, Chi Square, Odds Ratio) were used, due to the nominal and ordinal nature of some variables and because the quantitative variables were not normally distributed in the sample. Women reported more suicide attempts than men, and significantly more (p = .05) reported serious thoughts of suicide and a suicide plan. The participants who thought about a suicide plan in the last twelve months presented a significantly higher range of scores (p = .05) of the psychopathological symptoms measured with the SCL-90R and the BASC-S3, such as somatization, obsessions-compulsions, depression, anxiety, hostility and psychoticism, in the global severity index of the SCL-90R, in the clinical and school maladjustment indices of the BASC-S3, as well as a smaller range of scores in the personal adjustment index and the scales of this BASC index (interpersonal relations, relations with parents, self-esteem and self-confidence). They also reported a higher frequency of sexual, relational, verbal-emotional, physical violence and threats from their partner or ex-partner, examined by the CADRI, as well as a higher consumption of alcoholic beverages, marijuana and inhalants, violent physical punishment by parents or another caregiver, feeling neglected by the father and mother, running away from home, poor relationships with parents and siblings, and poor academic performance. The probability of thinking about a suicidal plan was higher (OR = 2.0) among those who reported feeling so sad or hopeless that they had to interrupt their normal activities, almost every day, for two weeks or more; having been physically punished in a violent way by a parent or other caregiver; having been forced to a sexual act by an older person, a peer, a family member or a stranger; having been abandoned totally or for a considerable time by the mother; having been thrown out of the house by one of the parents and having witnessed acts of physical, verbal or other types of violence between the parents. These results indicate that adolescents who have a greater vulnerability to suicidal behavior could be identified among those who present negative family circumstances, such as poor relationships with parents, domestic violence and observation of violence between parents, as well as negative social circumstances, such as poor interpersonal relationships, sexual violence and intimate partner violence, which could lead to the development of psychopathological symptoms, substance use, poor academic performance and other manifestations of clinical, educational and personal maladjustment, in order to carry out an intervention that decreases the likelihood of suicide attempts. They also show the importance of developing prevention alternatives from an ecological perspective, including peers, parents and teachers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Currently, video games are considered a hobby that in some cases can become a behavioral problem. The aim of this research was to explore the differences to video games addictive behavior in students according to their educational level and gender. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, ex post facto was design. Through a non-probabilistic sampling, by quotas, a questionnaire was applied to 520 public schools students of the State of Veracruz, Mexico (130 students at each school level: elementary, middle, high school and associate's degree). The Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents (GASA) Short version made of seven items was used. Girls in elementary school presented a significantly higher percentage of symptoms related to addictive behavior to video games in comparison to male students. In contrast, male middle school, high school, and associate's degree students registered significantly higher percentages of addiction to video games compared to females. The findings obtained allow us to understand that at a higher level of studies the way in which men and women relate to video games changes; at elementary school women presented higher percentages of probable addiction to video games, which decreased in those who presented a higher scholar level. In men, an inverse situation was observed, which allows us to identify that the use of video games is colored by the construction of identity and aspects related to a change when passing from adolescence to youth.

The aim of the study was to design and determine the psychometric properties of an instrument to analyze sexual dimorphism in play preferences in a preschool population. A total of 231 children between 3 and 6 years of age participated. An exploratory factor analysis showed a scale with three factors. There are significant differences in the choice of male and female games. In male games, the results at 4 and 6 years of age indicate that boys show a greater predilection for these games than girls (p=.002, Cohen's d=1.031 and p<.001, Cohen's d=1.435). At ages 5 and 6, girls show a greater predilection for female games (p=.014, Cohen's d=.665 and p=.049, Cohen's d=.574) than boys. In conclusion, the psychometric analyses provide evidence of validity and reliability of the questionnaire, which can be used to analyze play behavior from 3 to 6 years of age.

In 2003, the International Olympic Committee issued eligibility rules for transgender people, and since then, various sporting bodies have developed their own rules. Some federations apply rules based on self-definition of sex, while others apply rules based on the sex assigned at birth or when the sex claim was made. This article deepens the debate on the inclusion of trans people in sport through the presentation of the rugby's case study, whose international federation presented, in 2020, exclusivist rules under the argument of fair competition and protection of the physical integrity of cisgender women. A critical analysis of the foundations of these rules will be presented and the consequences of similar approaches in the sports career of trans people will be discussed. Regarding methodology, a critical document analysis on the World Rugby's rules was carried out and semi-structured interviews were conducted with people related to the sports universe in Portugal. It was observed that the elaborate rules create a hierarchy between the binary sexes and between trans people themselves, focus on limited measures of comparison such as single repetition strength, and rule out factors such as increased fat mass after transition. In the absence of the possibility of pursuing a sporting career, there was a capacity for agency and engagement in other areas that allows trans people to reach other important functions within the sports universe.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of sex, age, level of education, severity of the condition, losses associated to the disease, and post-COVID-19 difficulties, on Psychological Well-being, and how these variables relate to each other. Hence, a pathway design was used on a sample of 419 COVID-19 patients. The Carol Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (1989) and the Survey on the implications of COVID-19 were implemented. A direct influence of age on all dimensions of well-being was found, except for Positive Relationships and Personal Growth. Educational level has a direct positive influence on most dimensions of wellbeing. Male participants showed greater well-being in the Autonomy dimension. Other variables that directly predicted psychological well-being were having physical difficulties, work difficulties, and other post-COVID-19 difficulties. It is concluded that the model was partially verified and would allow for the development of specific well-being intervention plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The present study aims to develop normative data for the TTCT Figural Form-A and Form-B in school-age children, to employ the instrument for diagnostic purposes and in educational settings. Method: To this end, we conducted two empirical studies. In study 1, the Figural TTCT-Form A was administered to 859 school children of both sexes, between 8 and 13 years old. In Study 2, the Figural TTCT-Form B was administered to 739 children of both sexes aged 6 to 13 years. For both studies, MANOVA was performed to analyze the effect of age, sex, and their interaction. Results: Studies 1 and 2 showed a significant effect of age and sex, but not for the interaction between age x sex on TTCT scores. Normative values were computed according to sex and age. Conclusion: Our normative data for the Figural TTCT-Form A and B, which were established for the first time for Argentinean children, can be useful for the assessment of creativity and the recognition of creative abilities in students.

Background: Childhood maltreatment (CM) can be divided into: emotional abuse (EA), physical abuse (PA), sexual abuse (SA), emotional neglect (EN), and physical neglect (PN). CM is associated with (Complex)Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD/CPTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD). Objective: This cross-sectional study examined the relationships between CM-subtypes with PTSD-severity and CPTSD in patients with SUD-PTSD. Method: Participants (N = 209) were treatment-seeking SUD-PTSD patients who completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-short form, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 and the International Trauma Questionnaire. Regression analyses and a model selection procedure to select an optimal model were used to examine CM-subtypes as predictors of (C)PTSD, adjusted for sex and age. Results: Total CM and all CM-types significantly predicted PTSD-severity in the univariate regression analysis, with EA begin the strongest predictor. In the multiple regression only SA predicted PTSD-severity. Subsequently, model selection indicated that the optimal model to predict PTSD-severity included EA and SA. In the univariate analyses total CM, EA, and PN significantly predicted CPTSD-classification, and total CM and all CM-types significantly predicted CPTSD-severity. In the multiple regression for CPTSD-classification only EA and PA were significant predictors and for CPTSD-severity EA, PA and SA were significant predictors. In post-hoc multiple regression analyses, only EA was a significant predictor of CPTSDclassification and CPTSD-severity. Finally, in the model selection the most parsimonious model only included EA for both CPTSD-classification and CPTSD-severity. Sex was not a moderator in the relationship between CM and PTSD, nor in CM and CPTSD. Conclusions: These findings indicate that for SUD-PTSD patients, several CM-types have predictive value for (C)PTSD-severity, however SA and especially EA appear to contribute to these complaints. Since EA does not constitute an A-criterion, it is generally more overlooked in PTSD treatment. Its impact should therefore be underlined, and clinicians should be attentive to EA in their treatment.

Background: Women have twice the lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) relative to men, and PTSD is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Two sex hormones – estradiol and progesterone – have been found to impact both PTSD and CVD symptomatology, but the way in which sex hormones influence cardiovascular physiology among individuals with PTSD is not well understood. Objective: This study sought to clarify the association between sex hormones, PTSD, and CVD among trauma-exposed women. Method: Sixty-six trauma-exposed women (M age = 31.45, SD = 8.92) completed a clinical interview for PTSD and self-reported CVD symptoms; estradiol and progesterone were assayed from blood samples. The association between each sex hormone and CVD symptoms was analyzed, controlling for age, systolic blood pressure (BP), and diastolic BP. Results: Neither estradiol nor the PTSD-by-estradiol interaction was significantly associated with CVD symptoms. Higher progesterone and, relatedly, progesterone-to-estradiol ratio (PE ratio) were each significantly associated with greater CVD symptom severity, but only for individuals with lower relative PTSD severity. Conclusions: The findings indicate that PTSD moderates the relationship between progesterone and CVD symptoms, and further research is warranted to reconcile findings in existing literature regarding the direction of and mechanisms behind this relationship.

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) prevalence and clinical presentation reportedly vary with gender and/or sex. Equivalent complex PTSD (CPTSD) research is in its relative infancy and to date no systematic review has been conducted on this topic. Objective: To systematically review the literature and provide a narrative addressing the question of whether gender and/or sex differences exist in CPTSD prevalence and clinical presentation. Method: Embase, PsycINFO, PTSDpubs, PubMed, Web of Science, EThOS and Google Scholar were searched. Twelve papers were eligible for inclusion. Data were extracted and synthesised narratively. Results: Four themes were identified: (i) the reporting of gender and/or sex; (ii) index trauma; (iii) CPTSD prevalence rates; and (iv) CPTSD clinical presentation. Findings were mixed. Nine papers reported prevalence rates: eight found no gender and/or sex differences; one found higher diagnostic rates among women and/or females. Four papers reported clinical presentation: one reported higher cluster-level scores among women and/or females; two used single gender and/or sex samples; and one found higher scores in two clusters in men and/or males. Most papers failed to report in gender- and/or sex-sensitive ways. Conclusions: Gender- and sex-sensitive research and clinical practice is needed. Awareness in research and clinical practice is recommended regarding the intersect between identity and the experience and expression of complex trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
