Validación de la versión breve de la Experiences in Close Relationship en adultos con pareja del mismo sexo
...
Calvillo, Cristóbal | 2019-12-12

Abstract Attachment includes two dimensions (anxiety by abandonment and avoidance of intimacy). For its evaluation, the validation of the brief version of the Experiences in Close Relationship (ECR-S) scale was carried out in adults with a same-sex partner. Construct validity, factorial invariance, differential item functioning, reliability of internal consistency and concurrent validity were examined. A sample of 815 homosexuals and 815 heterosexuals (half men and half women) were used, all of them in a couple relationship. The bifactorial structure of the ECR-S is confirmed, being invariant by sexual orientation and sex. Its two dimensions have an adequate internal consistency and their measurements show evidence of validity. The ECR-S constitutes an excellent tool for assessing attachment in homosexual adults with a samesex partner.

Torres Bejarano, Franklin Manuel | 2015

Water quality models are tools of control, that contribute to the planning, prevention and decision making focused on water resource management. Therefore, different countries, among which is Colombia, have established the relevance of its implementation to determine the discharges assimilation of water bodies. This is why this research aims to simulate the transport of pollutants from effluents of the industrial corridor of Barranquilla, to study the dispersion and contaminants fate to represent the pollution level in this ecosystem. To develop this work, a two-dimensional numerical model was adapted and implemented, which consists of two modules and is solved in two stages. Initially, the hydrodynamic module is applied to solve the Saint Venant equations derived from Navier-Stokes-Reynolds, using an Eulerian-Lagrangian method. After that, the contaminant transport module that solves the two-dimensional advection-diffusion-reaction equation is applied. With the simulation of river’s discharges, the evolution and behavior of pollutants discharged into it was described, which demonstrate the model capability to represent the water quality in receiving bodies with complex hydraulic and hydrodynamic conditions.

Introduction: The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood and adolescence. Its symptoms are manifested in cognitive and behavioral areas, with important functional consequences. In adults, it has a high prevalence ranging from 5 to 20%. The diagnosis is based on identifying symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity entered in the manual classification of mental disorders (DSM and ICD). Objective: To validate the scale IES- TDAH from the analysis of the levels of internal consistency and correlation levels with scales Gold Standard: Wender- Utah Rating Scale - WURS; Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-V1.1) and ICD-10 criteria. Methods: This research is generated from the design of an exploratory inventory of ADHD symptoms (IES-ADHD) from the theoretical construct about the disorder and the DSM-V. Followed design and validation content by judges, it was obtained a preliminary version applied to a pilot Abstract sample of 120 young people (60 men and 60 women) pertaining to institutions of higher education in the city of Barranquilla and whose ages ranged between 18 and 23 years. Results: Satisfactory results were obtained by finding a high level of reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.914) and also the criterion validity was obtained by analyzing the behavior of IES over other tests ADHD gold standard that showed high levels of correlation with the Wender-Utah Rating Scale (WURS) (r = 0.88), with ICD-10 criteria (r = 0.89), and with the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-V1.1) (r = 0.898). Conclusions: We considered that the IES-ADHD constitutes an instrument that provides reliable data in the approach to the clinical diagnosis of ADHD in adults.

Charris, Kevin | 2022

In common refrigeration systems the energy source required for vapor compression is electricity, while in absorption systems its source is heat. Absorption refrigeration systems have gained ground in recent years, thanks to their low electrical energy consumption, compared to compression refrigeration systems, mainly due to the fact that they use residual thermal energy instead of mechanical energy. (Noriega Sánchez and Pérez Rojas 2011). The absorber absorbs the refrigerant that comes from the evaporator, releasing heat (Fernández 2011), this makes the absorber the "heart" of the refrigeration system. In the last 10 years, there has been a boom in experimental and numerical studies seeking design and operation improvements for this component. One of these tools is called computational fluid dynamics CFD for its acronym in English, which has been used to represent the phenomena of heat and mass transfer within the absorber and its relationship with operating parameters such as pressure, temperature, the concentration and the inflows to the system and outflows from the system. In the present study, the comparison of two CFD models was carried out. of a bubble-type absorber with which the effect of two optimization methods was evaluated: mesh refinement and the use of user-defined functions, comparative statistics and precision test methods were used. The results show that the most sensitive variables of the model are the heat and mass fluxes and that mesh refinement will always be necessary to obtain more accurate results in the model when compared to the experimental results. Reviewing CFD model studies of absorbers reported in the scientific literature, a methodological deficiency was observed in the validation of the models that does not allow to conclude statistically, if the optimizations with mesh refinement and the functions defined by the user improve their performance or not, the purpose of the investigation is to make a statistical comparison and evaluate its effectiveness when performing mesh modeling, with models from other studies and carried out. Obtaining as a result that the greater the number of elements in the mesh, it means that in the four variables (total concentration of ammonium at the outlet of the internal tube, temperature of the solution at the outlet of the internal tube and heat flux transferred from the solution and Flux of ammonium absorbed by the solution) minimize their percentage of error, thus being able to raise the acceptability rates to search for an optimal model, in this type of absorbers, making it more efficient. It is then that there is a need to always evaluate with the four variables, with an optimized system of 250,000 elements in the mesh

Suárez Cano, Mario Alejandro | 2012-11-30

En el presente artículo se muestran tres estudios realizados con el objetivo de determinar el grado de utilidad que posee un laboratorio virtual como prototipo diseñado para el estudio de los procesos de decisión en psicología económica. En este orden de ideas, se adelantó la validación piloto del laboratorio en cuanto a su capacidad para permitir el estudio de los procesos de decisión económica. Para esto se expuso a los participantes a un conjunto de situaciones económicas planteadas por Kahneman y Tversky (2002), al dilema del prisionero y al juego del ultimátum. Los resultados de este estudio son similares a aquellos derivados de estudios previos no virtuales. También se observó el efecto de la retroalimentación sobre las decisiones económicas de los participantes. Los resultados muestran un efecto poco significativo de dicha retroalimentación sobre la decisión económica. Dado que algunos estudios han encontrado resultados similares, se puede concluir que el laboratorio virtual permite estudiar la decisión económica en el contexto de diversas manipulaciones experimentales. Adicionalmente, se llevó a cabo un análisis de tipo correlacional para identificar las relaciones existentes entre las diferentes variables que se manipularon en el laboratorio virtual con los aspectos demográficos de los participantes. Este estudio no evidencia hallazgos generales, pero sí algunas correlaciones específicas.

Dementia is a global disease that impacts the world economy. Currently, there are few instruments that assess the cognitive status of the population with little or no education that are useful, sensitive and specific for the detection of cognitive impairment, which is why we need to review whether Moca-B meets the criteria to evaluate MCI in our context, especially taking into account that there are no studies of this test carried out in our country. Objective: To review the psychometric parameters of the cognitive screening "Montreal Cognitive Assessment Basic (Moca-B)" in the Colombian context in a population with little or no schooling. Method: Empirical-analytical paradigm, with a cross-sectional descriptive scope. Results: A satisfactory performance of the MoCa B was found for the population with Mild Cognitive Impairment and the control group, however, an inconsistent result is observed in the subtests with respect to the total scores. The cut-off points were found based on the youden index, being consistent with each population group. Conclusions: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Basic (Moca-B) test showed a high scientific potential to detect MCI and discriminate healthy population, it is recommended to carry out more research about this evaluation in our country with a more significant sample in order to obtain generalizable data.

Roman, Fabian | 2016

Background: “Forgetfulness” is frequent in normal aging and characteristic of the early stages of dementia syndromes. The episodic memory test is central for detecting amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The Memory Binding Test (MBT) is a simple, easy and brief memory test to detect the early stage of episodic memory impairment. Objective: To validate the Argentine version of the MBT in a Latin American population and to estimate the diagnostic accuracy as a tool for early detection of MCI. Methods: 88 subjects (46 healthy controls and 42 patients with amnestic MCI) matched for age and educational level were evaluated by an extensive neuropsychological battery and the memory binding test. Results: A significantly better performance was detected in the control group; all MBT scales were predictive of MCI diagnosis (p<.01). The MBT showed high sensitivity (69%) and high specificity (88%), with a PPV of 93% and a NPV of 55% for associative paired recall. A statistically significant difference (χ2=14,164, p<.001) was obtained when comparing the area under the curve (AUC) of the MBT (0.88) and the MMSE (0.70). Conclusion: The Argentine version of the MBT correlated significantly with the MMSE and the memory battery and is a useful tool in the detection of MCI. The operating characteristics of the MBT are well suited, surpassing other tests commonly used for detecting MCI. © 2016, Academia Brasileira de Neurologia. All rights reserved.

Robles-Haydar, Claudia A. | 2022

Introduction. The most widely accepted theoretical and measurement model in personality study is the Big Five Personality Test, designed to measure five traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. One of the most commonly used instruments for evaluating personality in children and adolescents is the BFQ-C. However, its applicability may be limited by its length. The short version of the test has shown stability across different cultures but there is no empirical evidence on its psychometric properties to enable it to be used in the Latin American context. Objective. This study seeks to validate the short version of the Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C) in the Colombian population. Method. The questionnaire was administered to 844 adolescents (55% boys and 45% girls) aged between 11 and 16 (M = 13.55 and SD = 2.30). Seven possible models were obtained from a series of exploratory and confirmatory analyses to explain the factorial structure of the test, which were compared with each other to find the model with the best statistical fit. Results. The model with the best absolute fit coincided with the five-factor proposal of the scale, for which empirical evidence is provided for the universality of the Big Five model. The factors showed adequate levels of reliability. Discussion and conclusion. The short version of the BFQ-C has good psychometric properties in adolescents and constitutes a useful instrument for measuring personality in the Latin American context.

The Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (IEMSSQ) is one of the few instruments that has been developed from a theoretical model and assess sexual satisfaction. In addition, it has been successfully validated in Spanish heterosexual population. The objective of this study is to adapt and examine its psychometric properties (reliability, evidence of validity, and measurement invariance across sexual orientation and sex) in homosexual adults in a relationship. Method: A sample of 1,820 adults, of whom 50% are homosexuals and 55% men, answered the Spanish version of the IEMSSQ. In addition, subjects with homosexual orientation answered the Massachusetts General Hospital-Sexual Functioning Questionnaire and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Results: When comparing by sex and sexual orientation, the IEMSSQ has a strict invariant structure. Its reliability is good, and the evidence of construct and concurrent validity is adequate. However, the components of equality are moderate. Conclusions: The IEMSSQ makes it possible to compare the sexual satisfaction between homosexual/heterosexual men and women, presenting good psychometric properties in homosexual population, constituting an useful instrument in the clinical and research field.
