RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The global diet quality score (GDQS) is a simple, standardized metric appropriate for population-based measurement of diet quality globally. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to operationalize data collection by modifying the quantity of consumption cutoffs originally developed for the GDQS food groups and to statistically evaluate the performance of the operationalized GDQS relative to the original GDQS against nutrient adequacy and noncommunicable disease (NCD)-related outcomes. METHODS: The GDQS application uses a 24-h open-recall to collect a full list of all foods consumed during the previous day or night, and automatically classifies them into corresponding GDQS food group. Respondents use a set of 10 cubes in a range of predetermined sizes to determine if the quantity consumed per GDQS food group was below, or equal to or above food group-specific cutoffs established in grams. Because there is only a total of 10 cubes but as many as 54 cutoffs for the GDQS food groups, the operationalized cutoffs differ slightly from the original GDQS cutoffs. RESULTS: A secondary analysis using 5 cross-sectional datasets comparing the GDQS with the original and operationalized cutoffs showed that the operationalized GDQS remained strongly correlated with nutrient adequacy and was equally sensitive to anthropometric and other clinical measures of NCD risk. In a secondary analysis of a longitudinal cohort study of Mexican teachers, there were no differences between the 2 modalities with the beta coefficients per 1 SD change in the original and operationalized GDQS scores being nearly identical for weight gain (-0.37 and -0.36, respectively, P < 0.001 for linear trend for both models) and of the same clinical order of magnitude for waist circumference (-0.52 and -0.44, respectively, P < 0.001 for linear trend for both models). CONCLUSION: The operationalized GDQS cutoffs did not change the performance of the GDQS and therefore are recommended for use to collect GDQS data in the future.

In Guadeloupe, a French overseas territory located in the Eastern Caribbean, infectious and non-infectious diseases, loss of biodiversity, natural disasters and global change threaten the health and well-being of animals, plants, and people. Implementing the "One Health" (OH) approach is crucial to reduce the archipelago's vulnerability to these health threats. However, OH remains underdeveloped in Guadeloupe, hampering efficient and effective intersectoral and transdisciplinary collaborations for disease surveillance and control. A multidisciplinary research group of volunteer researchers working in Guadeloupe, with collective expertise in infectious diseases, undertook a study to identify key attributes for OH operationalization by reviewing past and current local collaborative health initiatives and analyzing how much they mobilized the OH framework. The research group developed and applied an operational OH framework to assess critically collaborative initiatives addressing local health issues. Based on a literature review, a set of 13 opinion-based key criteria was defined. The criteria and associated scoring were measured through semi-directed interviews guided by a questionnaire to critically evaluate four initiatives in animal, human, plant, and environmental health research and epidemiological surveillance. Gaps, levers, and prospects were identified that will help health communities in Guadeloupe envision how to implement the OH approach to better address local health challenges. The methodology is simple, generic, and pragmatic and relies on existing resources. It can be transposed and adapted to other contexts to improve effectiveness and efficiency of OH initiatives, based on lessons-learned of local past or current multi-interdisciplinary and intersectoral initiatives.

RESUMO
El propósito del presente trabajo consiste en presentar una nueva propuesta de interpretación de la respuesta gráfica al Test de Persona Bajo la Lluvia (PBLL). Ésta se basa en un diseño de investigación con procedimientos específicos para operacionalizar el concepto de recursos frente al trauma, representado por la situación estresante planteada por la consigna de la técnica proyectiva. Se apuntará a la revisión de conceptos teóricos con el análisis empírico de indicadores presentes en las técnicas gráficas correspondientes a casos de psicología laboral.
The purpose of the present paper is to advance a new proposal for the interpretation of graphic responses to the Draw a Person in the Rain Test (DAPR). This proposal is based on a research design with specific procedures that will enable us to operationalize the concept of resources to face trauma, which is represented by a stressful situation posed by the instructions of the projective technique. We will associate the review of theoretical concepts with the empirical analysis of indicators found in graphic techniques related to cases from the field of work psychology.

El trabajo comienza definiendo los conceptos de contrato narcisista y pacto denegativo, considerados centrales en el estudio de los procesos vinculares. Luego propone la operacionalización de estos conceptos al articularlos con el concepto de defensa (y su estado). Agrega que en los estudios psicoanalíticos de procesos vinculares existe otro concepto de gran importancia, que es el de pulsión (y deseo). A continuación el trabajo propone un conjunto de instrumentos que permiten estudiar estos conceptos en las manifestaciones vinculares y describe algunos ejemplos de situaciones vinculares prototípicas en las relaciones de pareja, en las cuales se dan diferentes combinaciones entre deseos y defensas (y el estado de estas). (AU)
The paper begins by defining the concepts of negative pact and narcissistic contract, considered central in the study of relational processes. Then, the paper proposes the operationalization of these concepts thanks to the articulation with the concept o fdefense (and its state). The paper adds that in psychoanalytic studies of the relational processes there is another important concept, which is drive (and desire). Then the paper proposes a set of instruments to study these concepts in relational expressions and describes some examples of prototypical situations in relationships, in which itis possible to detect different combinations of desires and defenses (and their status).(AU)
