The Relationship between Gamified Physical Exercise and Mental Health in Adolescence: An Example of Open Innovation in Gamified Learning.

Interest in gamified physical activity has been driven by its potential to benefit student mental health. Integrating gamified practices for mental health improvement represents a significant innovation within multidisciplinary approaches to enhancing mental well-being. This review follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and was conducted using the Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases, primary sources for education-related studies. Thirteen papers were analyzed, yielding important insights into the relationship between gamified physical activity and mental health. The findings indicate that gamified physical activity positively influences adolescents' mental health and well-being. Additionally, there is a need for improved application and game design to enhance learning within school contexts. Tailoring exergames to fit specific disciplines and school-related characteristics can promote healthier mobile application usage and offer significant benefits for the mental health of young individuals. The difference between this study and previous ones is that it focuses on mobile applications for encouraging active living to improve quality of life and mental health.

Development and validation of EDU-COV-NEE-NEAE questionnaire to measure educational response, ICT usage and impact of COVID-19 pandemic on students with special educational needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced changes in the educational response, which involved the intensive use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, among other interventions. The circumstances required both families and teachers to make an extra effort to adapt to a reality that was expected to last for a long time. These changes had a special impact on students with Specific Needs of Educational Support (SNES) and Special Educational Needs (SEN). This study aimed to design and validate a questionnaire to assess the impact of the online training model used during the pandemic on teachers of students with SNES and SEN. We used qualitative, exploratory, and confirmatory factor analyses. The final 16-item scale was composed of three factors. Factor1, was labeled as "Educational Response.", factor2 was labeled "ICT Usage and Online Teaching," and Factor 3 was labeled "Impact." The questionnaire demonstrated good validity and reliability. This short questionnaire is recommended for assessing or monitoring the impact of changes in educational interventions involving ICT competencies due to COVID-19. However, they can also be easily adapted to similar circumstances or educational settings.

Restorative methods as a strategy for the prevention of violence and bullying in primary and secondary schools in Mexico: An exploratory study.

School coexistence processes are mediated by conflict situations that are often not adequately, immediately and comprehensively resolved by schools, giving rise to violence. School violence has become a matter of global priority not only at the school or family level, but also socially due to its magnitude and scope. In the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), reported in 2018 that 23% of students in Mexico had suffered bullying at least once a month, these data are worrying as they reveal high rate of violence. Considering the increase of violence in Mexican educational institutions, we wonder if students' awareness in the use of communication to resolve disagreements would be achieved after participating in a conflict prevention project applying restorative practices. The objective of this study was to test whether students acquired greater emotional self-regulation, self-determination, and peaceful strategies to resolve conflicts after participating in a project centred on the restorative paradigm. A total of 336 students from an elementary school and a high school located in Mexico participated in this study. An ad hoc questionnaire was administered to the students by a restorative justice specialist in the middle of the school year. Statistical analyses were performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences V. 25. The results obtained showed that, after the implementation of this program for five months, students in both schools showed greater emotional self-regulation and self-determination. In conclusion, providing students with restorative strategies to resolve disputes favoured the use of peaceful conflict resolution strategies.

Educational and accessible museums and cultural spaces.

Offering access to culture and education to all citizens is a challenge nowadays, inclusive and accessible spaces are increasingly necessary if we really want to offer equal opportunities to all people regardless of their condition, physical or health. This systematic review study aims to investigate the situation of accessibility in museums and other cultural spaces as alternative learning spaces. It analyzes the historical evolution of cultural spaces as learning spaces and analyzes the reality of these spaces in terms of their accessibility conditions. For this purpose, an exhaustive search of documents was carried out between 2015 and 2021, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement, from the Web of Science (WOS), Scopus and Dialnet databases. After the analysis and application of selection criteria, a total of 17 documents were found that show the transformation of these cultural spaces, the improvement of their accessibility and adaptation to the new times. The need to offer cultural spaces for all is a challenge that must be consolidated as a social value.

Validation of the Organizational Dehumanization Scale in Spanish-Speaking Contexts.

The objective of this study is to validate Caesens, Stinglhamber, and Demoulin's (2017) organizational dehumanization scale (ODS) in a Spanish-speaking sample. A sample of 422 employees (49.3% women and 50.7% men) from Chile answered an online questionnaire comprised of measures of organizational dehumanization and job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviors, and authentic leadership. To analyze the structure of the ODS, the sample was divided into two random subsamples and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out. In addition, reliability and criterion validity were tested. As a result, the scale was composed of one factor. One item was eliminated due to its factor loading. The internal consistency was good (α = 0.92; ω = 0.92). The correlations between ODS, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviors, and authentic leadership were statistically significant, from medium to high magnitude, indicating a reasonable degree of criterion validity. In conclusion, the Spanish version of the ODS shows adequate psychometric properties and can be useful for making progress on the understanding of organizational dehumanization and evaluating the organizational dehumanization in Spanish-speaking context.

Oral Health and Pathologies in Migrants and Vulnerable Population and Their Social Impact: The Good Practices of the Intervention Model of a University Dental Clinic.

Numerous studies have shown the high incidence of diseases affecting oral health in vulnerable populations. The Canary Islands is a region particularly affected by the low income of its inhabitants and a high migration rate. Poor oral health habits and limited access to health care have turned these groups into risk groups. The role of the Fernando Pessoa Canarias University (CDUFPC) dental clinic in the health care of these groups has been an example of good professional practice and a fundamental resource in their health care. The present study aims to identify the profile of pathologies as well as the impact on the oral health of vulnerable population groups served by the CDUFPC. This study was developed between September 2019 and July 2022 with a sample of 878 patients, of whom 267 (30.4%) belonged to vulnerable groups referred by institutions and social organizations. The results identified the prevalence of dental caries as the main pathology and the lack of good oral habits and commitment to oral health and care.

Authentic Leadership and Its Relationship With Job Satisfaction: The Mediator Role of Organizational Dehumanization.

The objective of this research was to examine the mediating role that organizational dehumanization plays between authentic leadership and job satisfaction. The study was carried out with a sample of 422 participants, 50.7% were men and 49.3% women, with an average age of 38.96 years. The workers belong to different public and private organizations in Chile, and they responded to instruments of sociodemographic characterization, employment history and the scales of organizational dehumanization, authentic leadership, and job satisfaction. Data analysis included descriptive, correlational, and mediation analyses. The results allow us to maintain the hypothesis that organizational dehumanization plays a mediator role in the relationship between authentic leadership and job satisfaction. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The Ingroup-Outgroup Relationship Influences Their Humanity: A Moderation Analysis of Status and Gender.

The aim of this study is to examine whether gender and status moderate the teacher-student relationship (TSR) and the perception of dehumanization in teachers and students. A total of 528 participants from a university in Laguna (74% students and 26% professors) completed a questionnaire based on the TSR scale, organizational dehumanization, and demographic variables. PROCESS, a mediation and moderation package, was used to analyze data. The results indicated that ingroup-outgroup relationship significantly influences the perception of organizational dehumanization (p < 0.001). In addition, gender (p < 0.001) and status (p < 0.001) have moderating roles. Specifically, female students are at most risk of perceiving themselves dehumanized, and males with high status (teachers) are less vulnerable to dehumanization. These findings are highly significant for the advancement of knowledge of the intergroup relationship and organizational dehumanization and have practical implications for teachers and students.

Educational Programs for the Promotion of Health at School: A Systematic Review.

CONTEXT: Health promotion programs generate healthy changes in the educational community. However, not all of them meet the expected objectives due to multiple factors that affect their development, such as the teachers overload work, the lack of specific training, the lack of time to carry out health promotion activities, the lack of flexibility of the programs, and their non-inclusion in the training programs of the centers. OBJECTIVE: To know the scope of the strategies and programs that promote healthy habits among students in compulsory educational stages. DATA SOURCES: a systematic review of articles in English, using the Web of Science (WOS), Medline, and PsycINFO databases.

Combating homophobia, lesbophobia, biphobia and transphobia: A liberating and subversive educational alternative for desires.

The repression of human sexuality began anew in the twentieth century with a strengthening of patriarchal conceptions that pathologised sexual preferences, such as homosexuality, lesbianism and bisexuality, and medicalised transsexuality. Our educational approaches based on action research have reduced violence and empowered teenagers - girls and boys - and groups of teachers in different countries of the European Union. The diversification of assessment tools has resulted in an improved evaluation of processes and results. As a result, a high percentage of violence has been eliminated, accompanied by a scaling up of prevention and greater respect for sexual diversity. Critical-emancipatory action research is a viable alternative, as is the empowerment of men, not only of women.

Self and hetero-perception and discrimination in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

This study intends to show the external perception that Primary Education students have of their schoolmates with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the perception of the student who has being diagnosed with ADHD himself/herself in order to analyse the differences between both perceptions. For that purpose, a questionnaire was e elaborated ad hoc, and the main results shown point to the fact that the external perception of the Primary Education student is more positive than the perception of the diagnosed student. Moreveover, the perception of the schoolmates of students diagnosed with ADHD tends to worsen in superior courses. This discovery invites us to reflect on and understand the more frequent attitudes and behaviours that develop in interaction situations as well as investigate those conducts related to social prejudice associated to their clinical characteristics and prevalent syntoms (attention déficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity), which develop an increase of the negative perception towards the student with ADHD.

Prevalencia de síndrome metabólico y factores de riesgo asociados en jóvenes universitarios ecuatorianos / Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and associated risk factors in ecuadorian university students

Antecedentes y Objetivo: En México, el 64% de los pacientes hospitalizados sufren de desnutrición hospitalaria y hasta un 100% en adultos mayores, se han estudiado las causas, entre ellas se destacan: la sub-alimentación, el tiempo de hospitalización, el catabolismo presente en diversas patologías, falta de interés o tiempo del personal que labora en los hospitales entre otras. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue obtener la prevalencia de sub-alimentación en los pacientes hospitalizados con soporte enteral, en el Centro Médico 'Lic. Adolfo López Mateos' (CMLALM) durante el periodo Agosto-Octubre 2014. Metodología: Se diseñó un estudio observacional, transversal, descriptivo; con una población de 52 pacientes con soporte enteral en el que se analizó la prevalencia de pacientes con sub-alimentación a partir de la ministración de la dieta enteral y la prescripción nutricional calórica establecida, durante el periodo de Agosto-Octubre 2014. Resultados: Se realizaron medidas de tendencia central para obtener el porcentaje de pacientes con sub-alimentación calórica. La prevalencia de pacientes con sub-alimentación fue del 71%, con mayor predominio el sexo masculino (70%) y en un rango de edad entre 51 años y 61 años (43%). El servicio médico de hospitalización donde se encontró la mayor prevalencia de pacientes con sub-alimentación fue medicina interna afectando a 14 pacientes (38%), seguido de neurocirugía con 7 pacientes (19%) y unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) con 7 pacientes (19%); siendo el turno nocturno donde se presentó en mayor predominio la sub-alimentación. Conclusiones: La sub-alimentación afectó a 37 pacientes con soporte enteral los cuales representan el 71% de la población estudiada, esta cifra coincide con otros estudios similares. La causa principal de la sub-alimentación fue el incumplimiento en la ministración de la dieta enteral (AU)

Introduction: Overweight and obesity in in young people especially in children and adolescents is considered as public health problem in the world. Obesity could be the most important cause of insulin resistance. For this reason obese children and adolescents become in a risky group for developing metabolic syndrome (MS). In Ecuador is shocking the low following that is given to the diagnosis of MS for predicting the risk of cardio and cerebral vascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Objective: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its risk factors in a sample of students from the 'Universidad Central del Ecuador' (UCE) in Quito. Methods: Students form first, second and third semester of Medicine College in UCE were included in the study. The age range was between 17 and 25 years old. All students were measured weight, height, body mass index (BMI, blood pressure, waist circumference and serum levels of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and glucose. Results: The study shows that the prevalence of MS was 7.58% (IDF). It means that 1 of 13 students had MS. 22.24% has pre obesity and 3.14% has obesity. We found that waist circumference was mainly higher in women than men (53.39% vs. 25.85) of low values of HDLc, the 38.84% occurred among women and 19.73% among men, the values of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and glucose were normal. Conclusion: In the tested sample was found that 1 out of 13 students had MS and 1 out of 2 had at least one risk factor for MS. According with the pre-obesity and obesity result, 1 out of 4 students shows one of these symptoms. In addition, these results show the direct relationship between risk factors and TA. Finally, Healthy lifestyles promotion (includes non-pharmacological treatments such diet and exercise) could be the first goal to prevent metabolic disease, because the large amount of persons with at least one risk factor for MS (AU)

Introducción: El sobrepeso y la obesidad en niños y adolescentes se consideran un problema de salud pública en el mundo. La obesidad parece ser el desencadenante más importante de la resistencia a la insulina, lo que convierte a los niños y adolescentes obesos en un grupo de riesgo para desarrollar Síndrome Metabólico. En el Ecuador, el seguimiento que se le da al diagnóstico de Síndrome Metabólico para la predicción del riesgo de enfermedad cardio y cerebro vascular y Diabetes Mellitus, es limitado. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de Síndrome Metabólico y sus factores riesgo en una muestra de estudiantes de la Universidad Central del Ecuador de la ciudad de Quito. Métodos: Fueron incluidos estudiantes de los tres primeros semestres de la carrera de Medicina de la UCE, comprendidos entre 17 y 25 años. A todos los estudiantes se midió peso, talla, se calculó índice de masa corporalIMC, tensión arterial, perímetro abdominal, y niveles séricos de colesterol total, cHDL, cLDL, triglicéridos y glucosa. Resultados: En el presente estudio se encontró que la prevalencia de Síndrome Metabólico fue de 7.58% (IDF). El 22,24% presentó pre obesidad y 3.14% obesidad. Se encontró que el perímetro abdominal estuvo alterado preferentemente en mujeres en relación con los hombres (33.67% vs 9.55%). En el 31.79% se encontró niveles de cHDL bajo los valores normales, siendo más significativo en mujeres (24.50% mujeres, 7.29% hombres), los valores de colesterol total, colesterol LDL y glucosa estuvieron dentro de parámetros normales. Conclusión: En la muestra estudiada se encontró que 1 de cada 13 estudiantes presentaron Síndrome Metabólico y 1 de cada 2, al menos un factor de riesgo. En relación a pre obesidad y obesidad, 1 de cada 4 estudiantes presento algún grado de sobrepeso u obesidad. Se evidencio una relación directamente proporcional entre la presencia de factores de riesgo y un aumento de TA. Dada la gran cantidad de personas que presentan al menos un factor de riesgo es indispensable promover estilos de vida saludable que incluyan medidas no farmacológicas como dieta y ejercicio.

Frecuencia de antígenos eritrocitarios del sistema Rh-Hr en los cónyuges de mujeres Rh negativo / Antigenic profile of Rh-Hr erythrocytes system in the couple of the Rh negative women

Con el objetivo de establecer el perfil antigénico del sistema eritrocitario Rh-Hr, se estudiaron a 177 cónyugues de mujeres Rh negativo. En 15 casos (8.5 por ciento), fueron Rh negativo y 162 casos (91.5 por ciento) fueron Rh positivo. Con respecto a la cigocidad probable al antígeno D, en 100 casos (56.5 por ciento) son homocigotos , en 62 casos (35 por ciento), son hetoocigostos y 15 cónyuges (8.5 por ciento) Rh negativo. El fenotipo probable, de acuerdo a la frecuencia porcentual de casos, fueron DCCee (R1/r) en 48 cónyuges (27.1 por ciento), DCCee (R1/R1), con 46 casos (26 por ciento), DCcEe (R1/R2) en 36 casos (20.3 por ciento), DccEe (R2/r) con 14 casos (7.9 por ciento), DccEE (R2/R2) en 13 casos (7.3 por ciento), DCCEe (R1/RZ) y Dccee (Ro/r) con 2 casos cada uno (1.1 por ciento) y DCcEE (R2/RZ) con un sólo caso (0.5 por ciento). En los cónyuges Rh negativo, la más frecuente con 14 casos (7.9 por ciento) fue el fenotipo dcce (r/r y con el fenotipo dccEe (r"/r), se encontró sólo un caso (0.56 por ciento). La frecuencia génica de la población r/r (Rh negativo), mostró diferencia significativa (p < 0.025) con respecto a la frecuencia esperada de los sujetos Rh negativos en la población del Valle de México.
