ABSTRACT
La heterogeneidad de los usuarios de centros deportivos ha incrementado en los últimos años. Como consecuencia, estos clientes demandan servicios y un trato por parte del centro muy personalizados. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los diferentes perfiles de usuarios de los centros deportivos públicos de la ciudad de Barcelona. Los datos se recogieron en una encuesta a 791 clientes de centros deportivos públicos. Mediante un análisis clúster y un análisis discriminante se han obtenido cuatro perfiles diferenciados de usuarios. El trabajo contribuye a conocer en profundidad quienes son los clientes y qué estrategias pueden seguir los gerentes de las instalaciones para satisfacer sus necesidades

BACKGROUND: The fuzzy rating scale was introduced to cope with the imprecision of human thought and experience in measuring attitudes in many fields of Psychology. The flexibility and expressiveness of this scale allow us to properly describe the answers to many questions involving psychological measurement. METHOD: Analyzing the responses to a fuzzy rating scale-based questionnaire is indeed a critical problem. Nevertheless, over the last years, a methodology is being developed to analyze statistically fuzzy data in such a way that the information they contain is fully exploited. In this paper, a summary review of the main procedures is given. RESULTS: The methods are illustrated by their application on the dataset obtained from a case study with nine-year-old children. In this study, children replied to some questions from the well-known TIMSS/PIRLS questionnaire by using a fuzzy rating scale. The form could be filled in either on the computer or by hand. CONCLUSIONS: The study indicates that the requirements of background and training underlying the fuzzy rating scale are not too demanding. Moreover, it is clearly shown that statistical conclusions substantially often differ depending on the responses being given in accordance with either a Likert scale or a fuzzy rating scale
ANTECEDENTES: la escala de valoración difusa se introdujo para abordar la imprecisión inherente al pensamiento humano y la experiencia al medir actitudes en muchos campos de la Psicología. La flexibilidad y expresividad de esta escala permiten describir apropiadamente las respuestas a la mayoría de las cuestiones que involucran mediciones psicológicas. MÉTODO: analizar las respuestas a cuestionarios basados en dicha escala supone un problema crítico. No obstante, en los últimos años se está desarrollando una metodología específica para el análisis estadístico de datos difusos que explota toda la información disponible. En este trabajo se recoge un resumen de los procedimientos más relevantes. RESULTADOS: los métodos se ilustrarán mediante su aplicación a los datos de un estudio realizado con niños de nueve años. En él, los niños han respondido a algunas cuestiones del conocido cuestionario TIMSS/PIRLS recurriendo a un formulario basado en la escala de valoración difusa y en formato impreso o digital. CONCLUSIONES: en primer lugar, el estudio muestra que los requisitos previos de formación y entrenamiento para cumplimentar tal formulario son poco exigentes. En segundo lugar, se verifica que a menudo las conclusiones estadísticas difieren sustancialmente dependiendo de que las respuestas se den según escala Likert o de valoración difusa

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma série de atividades práticas visando ao envelhecimento saudável, com base na perspectiva de Paulo Freire e na Política de Envelhecimento Ativo (OMS). As atividades relatadas foram realizadas durante a pesquisa de doutorado da autora e, posteriormente, reaplicadas em outros contextos e com diferentes grupos de idosos. As atividades apresentadas também serão discutidas à luz de outros trabalhos científicos. Com isso, espera-se que essas experiências possam contribuir para o campo da pesquisa e da prática na área da gerontologia aplicada.

Following the considerable increase in the interactions between Ottomans and Europeans, Ottoman port cities, referred to here as "borderlands," became meeting places of distinct worlds. Ottoman and British people met, clashed, and grappled with each other in the borderlands of the Ottoman Empire. There was unbalanced, disparate, and disproportionate, but also mutual and constant interchange between the two societies. This article discusses one facet of this interchange: the Anglo-Ottoman exchange of women's costumes.

En la cotidiana desarrollamos nuestras actividades a través de cargas físicas y dinámicas, como por ejemplo levantar o empujar objetos pesados, saltar, subir y bajar gradas o caminar y cargas físicas estáticas, como estar parados o sentados por tiempo prolongado, lo que significa una sobrecarga especialmente en la zona lumbar de la espalda, que esta sometida a un esfuerszo mecánico superior al que producen en bipedestación. El trebajo habitual en toda profesión en la que se mantiene una posisción sedente a corto plazo puede producir molestias agudas asociadas a la fatiga que se manifiestan como tensión muscular e incluso dolor en algunas zonas del cuerpo: siendo reversibles y alivándose con el reposo despues de la jornada laboral. A largo plazo puede producir trastornos crónicos asociados a procesos inflamatorios y degenrativos en las estructuras sobrecargadas, estas molestias ya no desapareceran al finalizar la tarea y pueden empeorar con el tiempo...

Numerosos estudios epidemiológicos han demostrado que los principales factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de la enfermedad cardiovascular son: los niveles altos de colesterol sanguíneo, la hipertensión y el cigarrillo. La importancia de evaluar estos factores de riesgo desde la infancia y de intervenir en forma precoz, radica en que las lesiones ateroescleróticas comienzan en la niñez, los factores de riesgo son frecuentes en poblaciones pediátricas y el estilo de vida (hábitos alimentarios, actividad física y cigarrillo) que contribuye al desarrollo de esta enfermedad se establece desde los primeros años de la vida
