A topic of interest about prostitution research is the assessment of beliefs or attitudes related to. The Levin and Peled (2011) scale of Attitudes Toward Prostitutes and Prostitution is an innovative instrument with a quantitative methodology approach. Our aim will be to test the preliminary psychometric properties of this scale in Spanish population. Our sample included 357 students from the Miguel Hernández University. Most of them (74.8%; n = 267) are women and the rest are men (n = 90; 25.2%). The mean age was 20.8 years (SD: ± 4.6). The scale of Levin y Peled (2011) was culturally adapted by the research team and it was administered to selected sample. We analyze the internal consistency and construct validity. The Total Scale, Attitudes towards Prostitution Scale, and Election-Victim Prostitution subscale, showed internal consistency ≥.80. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test was ≥. 80 and Bartlett test was significant (p = .000) were satisfactory scores for 2 or 4 factor models. We could not get any model to reproduce the same structure of original scale. The item analysis showed some item-total correlations <.20 that suggest to review them. As a conclusion, the authors support both models for 2 or 4 factors represent the scale in a coherent way with the theoretical framework.

The acquired pneumonia community is one of the most common causes of hospital admissions, with high impact on mortality. The objective was to evaluate the association of various factors with the state of severity at admission in patients hospitalized for pneumonia. It was done a descriptive study with 1,809 patients hospitalized for pneumonia between 2012 and 2020. Factors related to the patient, the disease, and prehospital management were evaluated as independent variables; as a dependent variable, the status at admission was considered. Through bivariate and multivariate analysis, the association was measured through the odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval. It was showed association significant among various conditions and evaluated the state of gravity entry; the factors that showed the greatest strength of association were: bedridden (OR 5.4 [4.2;7]) , presence of a medium or large pleural effusion (OR 4.8 [3.2; 7.2] ) , age of 60 or more (OR 4.2 [3.5,7]), extension nonlocal a radiation lobe (OR 3.6 [2.8;4.6] ) and a history of advanced dementia (OR 2.2 [1.7,2.8]). As conclusions, there is a relationship between the occurrence of the state of severity of patients with community-acquired pneumonia at the time of their hospital admission and several adverse conditions, some inherent to the characteristics of the patients (previous bedridden, advanced dementia and diabetes mellitus) and others to the radiological behavior of the disease (the radiological extension of the affectation beyond one lobe and the presence of a medium or large pleural effusion at the time of admission).

Because in the health care area there are few studies linking this with customer loyalty in the Latin American context, the level of corporate social responsibility with customer loyalty was examined.  The level of corporate social responsibility was examined with the loyalty of dental care customers in times of pandemic. Instrument applied to 323 patients of the dental clinic. An Exploratory Factor Analysis was applied through open source and free distribution software. An Ordinal Alpha of 0.996 and 0.922 was obtained, showing that the model presented is adequate. Patients give priority to their emotional, sentimental commitment to the institution, being the main variable, followed by the interdependent relationship they give between themselves and the institution. We successfully presented the performance of an ERA to measure and find the latent variables in the study defined for the present study, the numerical results, of the multivariate method have indicated its suitability and ability to explain the suitability of its use, with values of goodness of fit, and reliability that meet the requirements for its applicability. In the case presented, the results of the AFE confirm that for the clinical study in times of pandemic only two latent variables are important to understand the relationship of patients with the clinical, being these the Factor 1: Relational Commitment and the Factor 2: Relational value of interdependence.

Background: In Crohn's disease enterovesical fistula is relatively uncommon, the diagnosis of enterovesical fistula can be challenging, and often patients are monitored for months before the condition is recognized and effectively treated. Case presentation: This is a 38-year-old patient with a condition of dysuria, diagnosed with Crohn's Disease 7 years ago and repeated Urinary Tract Infections for the past two years.Although Crohn's Disease is a primary disorder of the digestive tract, typically patients with Crohn's Disease associated with enterovesical fistula seek medical attention as a result of urinary tract complaints, delaying the diagnostic time. Conclusion: Although infrequent, the occurrence of recurrent urinary tract infections associated with Crohn's disease should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent urinary tract infections due to the high morbidity and mortality and severity of the pathological process.

The first third of the 20th century was a period of great social and cultural transformations. But how did these changes affect secondary education in Extremadura? The objective of this article is to analyze the development and evolution of secondary education (official, collegiate and free) in Extremadura in the years between 1900 and 1936 through the tracing of students enrolled in the historical institutes of Caceres and Badajoz. To do so, in this work we have not only resorted to quantitative analysis through tables and graphs that show data on the enrolled population, including their origin, types of education, differences by sex, etc., but we have focused on detecting the causes that influenced the evolution, or lack thereof, of this educational level. We conclude that, although the process of democratization of this type of education began thanks to educational policies enacted during the first third of the 20th century, especially during the Second Republic - favored by the implantation of new schools as well as to the fact that a degree was required to become a teacher – the overall impact was limited in Extremadura. This owes to a combination of a high rate of illiteracy in the area, a scattered population and low economic development, among other causes

In this paper we examine the educational work carried out in the city of Zamora from the beginning of the 20th century by the Company of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in two schools run by the Order. They were opened precisely 40 years after the religious society’s arrival in the capital in 1860, in response to as request by the Provincial Charity Board to run the Nuestra Señora del Tránsito hospice. Four decades later, their initial welfare work took on an explicitly educational character with the management of two schools. Managed by the same religious institution, the school of the Patronato de San Vicente de Paúl started up in 1904, continuing the work of a school located in a city slum and poorly supported by the City Council with municipal funds after the elderly teacher who attended it ceased her work. Only a year earlier, in 1903, the Company also opened the Colegio Medalla Milagrosa, moved by the impulse of the provincial deputies, who wanted their daughters to receive an education at a level comparable to that given by the nuns to orphan girls in their orphanage. In this research, we focus on the analysis of their respective school architecture as an example of the diversity of the educational attention of the Company in Zamora.

This study compares a sample of Spanish and British textbooks to analyse how they present the topic of the First World War, a conflict that has distinct meanings in the national memory of both countries. With this aim, activities from the chosen textbooks are quantitively assessed with reference to two main variables: historiographical focus and the cognitive level required to complete them. To this we add another objective: to associate these variables with the position of different activities within the didactic sequence embedded in each textbook. The results confirm that both Spanish and British textbooks dedicate a large part of their activities to political-institutional history and military events. However, British books also incorporate a strong element of the history of everyday life, women’s history and “history from below”. In general, activities in British textbooks require a higher cognitive level than Spanish ones. Finally, introduction, extension and specific skills-based activities are more likely to require a high cognitive level than those found in the main body of a given teaching unit.  

From its beginnings, the Franco dictatorship developed a policy of memory that tried, by all means, to demonise and then make the memory of the Second Republic disappear, burying with it all the victims of the Civil War and, of course, the victims of the dictatorship itself. Although it may seem surprising, more than forty years later, parts of this discourse transmitted about the Second Republic, the Civil War and Franco’s repression are still present not only among those generations who were educated in Franco’s institutions and their children, but also in school textbooks currently used in secondary schools. This fact reveals that, despite the fact that in recent decades a great deal of specialised research has been carried out on this period, the ideas and conclusions drawn from this research have not permeatedschool textbooks. This constitutes a major impediment to the transmission of this knowledge to the rest of society. In this sense, through the analysis of a good number of textbooks from different publishers, this studyaims to analyse the proportion of textbook material devoted to this historical period in relation to the rest of the contents; the aspects covered most thoroughly in the textbooks - as opposed to those that are silenced or hidden - and, finally, the vision that is presented in these textbooks about the victims of the Civil War and Franco’s regime.

The bulletin La Escuela. Boletín de la Asociación Provincial del Magisterio de primera enseñanza [The School: Bulletin of the Provincial Association of Primary Education] is one of the many professional pedagogical publications that appeared in Spain between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Published in Castellón, it was mostly aimed at primary education teachers and it addressed a wide variety of education- related topics. In this work, we carry out a detailed analysis of the mathematics problem section that appeared in the bulletin from 1913 through 1916. Throughout the issues studied, we have identified four different periods in the section, featuring different approaches: problems to be implemented in the classroom or problems meant to engage the participation of the readers. Despite the restrictions involved in publishing graphics and figures in the bulletin, most of the problems are related to geometry, especially to the calculation of areas, volumes and lengths of different geometric figures, which for the most part require the use of algebraic techniques. Furthermore, the algebra used in many of the published solutions exceeds the contents that were studied at Normal Schools (Teacher Training Centers) of that time. The results of our study provide interesting information about the mathematical training of Spanish teachers in a specific historical and geographical context (Spanish provinces during the first quarter of the 20th century) and about the possible impact that this type of section could have had on the educational practice of readers

This study deals with the political purge of Victoriano Taibo García (1885-1966), a poet and narrator in the Galician tongue and one of the signatories of the « Manifesto Nacionalista» during the first assembly of As Irmandades da Fala (IF) in 1918. Our work is based on the dossier kept in the Archivo General de la Administración (AGA), in Alcalá de Henares; on his collection of letters, that is part of his personal archive, kept in the Instituto de Estudos Miñoráns (IEM); on the documentation regarding municipal plenary sessions in the archive of Gondomar (AMG); and on other detailed sources that are cited. Taibo García was a cultural activist and teacher in several schools in Galicia. Shortly before the proclamation of the II Republic, as an already renowned poet, he was appointed to the school of Morgadáns, a civil parish of Gondomar (Pontevedra), , where he taught for almost two decades and forged a strong bond to the area. He was never affiliated with the Partido Galeguista (PG), despite his being committment to Galicianism. After the military uprising, he was not punished immediately, but, in the purge that followed, was sanctioned with banishment to Villalar de los Comuneros (Valladolid), from January of 1938 to the same month of 1942. In 1948 he was accepted into the Real Academia Galega (RAG) and gave a speech on Rosalía de Castro. He died in 1966.
