The Relationship with Meeting Physical Activity Guidelines in Preschool-Aged Children: A Systematic Review
No full textBackground/Objectives: Physical activity (PA) during preschool is vital for supporting
physiological development, enhancing cognitive abilities and fostering socio-emotional
growth. However, consistent disparities in meeting PA guidelines have been observed. This
systematic review aims to identify studies that compared preschoolers’ PA, as measured by
technological devices, with recommended PA guidelines. Specifically, it examines (i) factors
associated with meeting PA guidelines and (ii) the outcomes observed when children
meet these guidelines. Methods: The search strategy was designed based on the PICOS
framework. Then, a systematic review was conducted using four databases to identify
studies that included children from 0 to 6 years old participating in PA sessions recorded
through technological devices. PA is compared with guidelines, and correlations were
reported. Results: Of the 52 studies reviewed, most found that meeting PA guidelines
in preschool-aged children was linked to favourable outcomes across multiple domains.
Children who met the guidelines tended to show better motor competence, emotional
regulation and cognitive skills, particularly in areas like working memory and social
understanding. However, the relationship with body composition and body mass index
was inconsistent, suggesting that the benefits of PA in early childhood extend beyond
weight-related measures. Conclusions: Meeting PA guidelines in early childhood is
strongly associated with cognitive development, emotional regulation, motor skills and
social behaviours. However, adherence varies significantly due to a complex mix of
individual, familial, socioeconomic and environmental factors

Los resultados evidencian que, aunque su perspectiva estuvo marcada por un trasfondo cristiano, las traducciones de Asín Palacios reflejan una notable exactitud lingüística y conceptual.Abstract: This article examines the translational and hermeneutic work of Miguel Asín Palacios about Islamic terminology, particularly in the context of his studies on Sufism and on key figures such as Ibn ʿArabī and al-Gazzālī. It undertakes a comparative analysis between Asín Palacios’s interpretations and the explanations of both classical and contemporary Arab authors, with the aim of assessing the precision of his translations and their influence on the Western understanding of Islamic mysticism. The findings suggest that, while his perspective was shaped by a Christian background, Asín’s translations display notable linguistic and conceptual accuracy.Universidad de Málag
Modelling Time-series Data Generation with Diffusion Models for triaxial data
No full textRecent advancements in diffusion models have demonstrated their capacity to generate high-quality synthetic images. However, their application to time-series data generation remains under-explored. We propose Diff-TSD, a novel method that leverages diffusion models and Modified Recurrence Plots to generate synthetic triaxial time-series data. By transforming raw signals into RGB image representations, we enable the application of image-based generative models for time-series data generation. In this framework, raw triaxial time-series data, such as accelerometer readings, are first transformed into trivariate recurrence plots that preserve the temporal correlation of the signals. These plots are treated as images, where each variate corresponds to an RGB channel, enabling the use of diffusion models traditionally designed for image synthesis. To evaluate the effectiveness of Diff-TSD, we conducted experiments using the WISDM benchmark dataset for human activity classification based on triaxial accelerometer data. The model, trained over 10,000 diffusion epochs, achieved an accuracy of 76.921 %, an F1-Score of 77.281 %, and exhibited stable performance from 5,000 epochs onward. While the accuracy shows a 7.59 % difference compared to real data performance (84.51 %), Diff-TSD proves valuable for augmenting training datasets, particularly under conditions of data scarcity. Additionally, the optimal trade-off between computational cost and performance was identified at 5,000 diffusion epochs, where the Xception classifier demonstrated the most consistent results. The proposed method contributes to the field of soft computing by leveraging diffusion models for synthetic time-series data generation, offering a robust solution for enhancing machine learning tasks in scenarios with limited data availability.MICIU/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 - ERDF/EU (Grant PID2023-149185OB-I00

Esta investigación fue financiada mediante un crédito condonable otorgado por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación de Colombia (Convocatoria No. 860, 2019) para estudios de doctorado en el exterior.This study analyzes suicidal ideation in Colombian adolescents from an ecological perspec-
tive, considering family, school, religious, and psychological factors. A total of 1372 high
school students participated. The fi ndings demonstrate that family functionality was di-
rectly and positively associated with lower levels of negative suicidal ideation, positioning
it as the most infl uential factor in mitigating risk. This effect was both independent and
substantially stronger than that of personal religiosity or school satisfaction, which exerted
their infl uence primarily through indirect pathways mediated by psychological well-being
and spirituality. Structural equation modeling confi rmed the direct effect of family function-
ality on suicidal ideation, whereas school satisfaction and religiosity operated exclusively
through mediating variables. The study highlights the importance of culturally sensitive
preventive interventions that strengthen the family and school environment and promote
the spiritual and emotional development of adolescents.Este estudio analiza la ideación suicida en adolescentes colombianos desde una perspectiva ecológica, considerando factores familiares, escolares, religiosos y psicológicos. Participaron un total de 1372 estudiantes de secundaria. Los resultados muestran que la funcionalidad familiar se asocia directa y positivamente con niveles más bajos de ideación suicida negativa, posicionándola como el factor más influyente en la mitigación del riesgo. Este efecto fue tanto independiente como significativamente más fuerte que el de la religiosidad personal o la satisfacción escolar, cuyos efectos se manifestaron principalmente a través de vías indirectas mediadas por el bienestar psicológico y la espiritualidad. El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales confirmó el efecto directo de la funcionalidad familiar sobre la ideación suicida, mientras que la satisfacción escolar y la religiosidad operaron exclusivamente mediante variables mediadoras. El estudio destaca la importancia de intervenciones preventivas culturalmente sensibles que fortalezcan el entorno familiar y escolar, y promuevan el desarrollo espiritual y emocional de los adolescentes.Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation of Colombia (Call No. 860, 2019

To evaluate the current state of this field, we conducted a systematic review of studies published between 2014 and 2023. Our research aimed to identify the challenges older adults face online and effective solutions for accessible web design. From 4,052 articles, we identified 25 types of accessibility issues, 104 improvements to enhance website accessibility, 24 technological resources to design these accessibility enhancements, and 20 evaluation methods. Despite notable progress enhancing web accessibility for older people, our findings underscore the need for ongoing improvements for a truly inclusive web, considering the differences within this heterogeneous group and understanding old age not as a problem but as an opportunity.MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/PID2022-136779OB-C33FEDER, E
A guide to functional methods beyond one-loop order
No full textFunctional methods can be applied to the quantum efective action to efciently
determine counterterms and matching conditions for efective feld theories. We extend the
toolbox to two-loop order and beyond and show how to evaluate the expansion of the path
integral in a manifestly gauge-covariant manner. We also generalize the method to theories
with mixed spin statistics and prove the validity of the hard-region matching formula to
all loop orders. The methods are exemplifed with a two-loop matching calculation of the
Euler–Heisenberg Lagrangian resulting from decoupling the electron in QED.MICIU/AEI - FEDER/UE (PID2022-139466NBC21)Junta de Andalucía (P21_00199, FQM101, AST22_6.5)MCIN/AEI - European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR (IJC2020-043549-I, EUR2024.153549)Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) (grants: 186866; 209042
Why do you pay me this way? The effect of pay attributions on employees’ perception of organizational support
No full textThis study aims to analyze the effect of internal pay attributions on employees’ perceived organizational
support (POS). Furthermore, it examines the pathway through which these pay attributions influence POS
by analyzing the mediating effect of pay level satisfaction. Based on survey data from 695 employees, the
results show that commitment-focused pay attributions are positively and directly related to POS, and also
indirectly related to it through the mediated effect of pay level satisfaction. Regarding control-focused pay
attributions, while getting the most out of employees’ pay attribution is only directly and negatively related
to POS, the cost-reduction HR strategy pay attribution is only indirectly and negatively related to POS
through pay level satisfaction. This study is relevant because it provides a more in-depth understanding of
how employees’ perceptions of the intentions behind pay decisions can influence how they assess both the
organization and the outcomes they receive
