The psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in a university student sample
No full textEste trabajo analizó las propiedades psicométricas en una muestra de 590 estudiantes universitarios españoles de una versión española del Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI). La fiabilidad de consistencia interna fue alta (α = 0,88) y los análisis factoriales revelaron una dimensión de ansiedad general compuesta de dos factores sintomáticos altamente relacionados, uno somático y otro afectivo-cognitivo. La validez de contenido del BAI fue aceptable pues, tomando como referencia el DSM-IV, sus ítems cubren el 45% de los criterios sintomáticos específicos de los trastornos de ansiedad y el 78% de los síntomas que definen las crisis de angustia. El BAI correlacionó 0,58 con el Inventario para la Depresión de Beck-II, pero los análisis factoriales revelaron que sus ítems forman dos factores distintos, sugiriendo que la correlación entre ambos se debe más a la relación entre los constructos de ansiedad y depresión que a un problema de validez discriminante. Los análisis de validez de criterio respecto a la entrevista estructurada Quick DIS-III-R indicaron que el BAI tiene buena capacidad discriminadora para detectar casos de ansiedad patológica en muestras de estudiantes universitarios. Finalmente, se ofrecen datos normativos a partir de la muestra total y de la muestra dividida por sexos, ya que las mujeres puntuaron más alto que los varones.The present study examined the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) in a sample of 590 Spanish university students. The BAI demonstrated a high level of internal consistency (α= 0,88), and the factor analyses revealed a general anxiety dimension composed of two highly interrelated factors, corresponding to somatic and affective- cognitive symptoms. Taking the DSM-IV as standard the content validity of the BAI was adequate since, its items covered 45% of the specific symptomatic criteria of anxiety disorders and 78% of the symptoms of panic attacks. The BAI was correlated 0,58 with the Beck Depression Inventory-II, but a combined factor analysis of their items revealed two distinct factors, suggesting that the correlation between the BAI and BAI-II is a reflection of the relationship between anxiety and depression constructs rather than a problem of discriminant validity. Criterion validity analyses concerning the Quick DIS-III-R structured interview pointed out that the BAI had a good discriminative ability to identify clinical anxiety in university student samples. Finally, norms scores for university students were provided from the total sample and from the male and female subsamples, since females scored higher than males.Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología ClínicaFac. de PsicologíaTRUEpu
Loss of susceptibility as a novel breeding strategy for durable and broad-spectrum resistance
No full textRecent studies on plant immunity have suggested that a pathogen should suppress induced plant defense in order to infect a plant species, which otherwise would have been a nonhost to the pathogen. For this purpose, pathogens exploit effector molecules to interfere with different layers of plant defense responses. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on plant factors that are activated by pathogen effectors to suppress plant immunity. By looking from a different point of view into host and nonhost resistance, we propose a novel breeding strategy: disabling plant disease susceptibility genes (S-genes) to achieve durable and broad-spectrum resistanc
y-bai/pbmc-pe: Characterizing immune variation and diagnostic indicators of preeclampsia by Single-cell RNA sequencing and machine learning
No full text<p>We sought to develop cell type-specific random forest (RF)-based classifiers for total Mono (VCAN+ Mono, classical Mono, IFN- non-classical Mono and IFN+ non-classical Mono), CD4+ Tn 2, CD8+ Tn 2 and Treg to diagnose preeclampsia based on our scRNA-seq data and the results of the gene expression. Briefly, for each cell type, we first generated pseudo-cells from single cells per patient after single-cell data processing, where each pseudo-cell was labeled as either positive or negative according to the status of the patient (PE or NP). The random stratified sampling was then applied on the pseudo-cell dataset to create a training set and an independent test set for ensuring the same ratio of positive and negative samples in the two sets. Upon the training set after data normalization and feature selection, each cell type-specific classifier was trained using the 5-fold cross-validation (CV) scheme (80% of random stratified samples used for training while 20% for internal validation). This procedure was repeated 100 times and the optimal hyperparameter values were determined based on the highest AUROC (area under ROC curve) values . Due to the imbalanced data in this study (positive samples much less than negative ones), we additionally calculated weight F1 scores and confusion matrix to fairly quantify the classification performance. To do this, we utilized the Youden's J statistic to determine the optimal cutoff threshold for each classifier.</p>
Monitoring Of Temperature-Induced Deformations in High Mountain Huts
No full textGlobal warming is affecting a lot ofhuman activities and has a relevant environmental impact. This is particularly evidentin the Alps, where the recorded temperature increases are larger than average. This trend has direct consequences onthe stability of high mountain slopes, as it provokes the upward receding of permafrost and triggers a series of rockfall events. Although it is difficult to pinpoint the direct cause-effectrelationship for any recorded event, two general facts emerge: failures are becoming more and more frequent, especially during particularly hot summer seasons; failures tend to concentrate within the altitude range affected by permafrost receding.In this paper,we discuss the structuralmonitoring at Capanna Margherita hut (Punta Gnifetti 4554m a.s.l., Monte Rosa massif), which is the highest mountain hut in the Alps and Europe in general. Geomechanicalmonitoring was activated there in 2023 and it is now complemented by the installation of sensors onthe hut structurein 2024. Afull set of data is continuously being recorded, including inclinometric, thermometric and accelerometric data.The paperanalysisis based on the data recorded by thesensors and the air temperature at Capanna Margherita hut, includingthe relationship between the temperatures and displacements, and the dynamic characteristics of structural vibrations

The influence of tourism on the sustaining of vernacular architechtural tradition embodied in the Bai and Naxi dwellings in Yunnan, China.
No full textYunnan is an economically underdeveloped region in south-western China, in which many ethnic settlements are preserved well. Within the last two decades, many ethnic communities at a grass-roots social level have been conducting a series of tourism-related developments of Bai and Naxi dwellings in Yunnan. They are altering, restoring, rebuilding, refurbishing and renewing ordinary Bai or Naxi dwellings into multi-function dwellings, which are not only the residential homes of families, but are also capable of providing an exotic cultural experience for tourists‘ consumption. Nevertheless, Bai and Naxi dwellings are representations of a living culture, embodying a complex set of vernacular architectural traditions which have been transmitted for many generations. When the Bai and Naxi dwellings are involved in tourism development, the transmission and adaptation of these vernacular architectural traditions are changed, and the manner in which such traditions aresustained in new circumstances becomes an interesting problem. This study explores the influence of tourism development on sustaining the vernacular architectural tradition embodied in Bai and Naxi dwellings in Yunnan, China. The researcher has conducted three rounds of fieldwork, choosing 30 Bai and Naxi dwellings involved in tourism development, from four ethnic minority settlements in Yunnan, for investigation. Observation, interview and questionnaire have been applied to collect data, and template analysis has been used to analyse the data. The results of the analysis show that if tourism development is conducted mainly at a community level, itcan enhance the sustaining of the vernacular architectural tradition embodied in Bai and Naxi dwellings. In summary, the sustaining of vernacular architectural tradition is not simply influenced by the nature of tourism, but is highly dependent on the social level of the developers, the construction pattern they choose, and the socio-cultural interaction they produce
