Abstract: In this psychometric research, the internal structure and reliability of the Metacognitive Strategies Inventory by O’Neil and Abedi (1996) were analyzed in a sample of university students from Peru. For this purpose, an intentional sample of 404 students from a private university in the city of Arequipa was taken, of which 54.5% were men with an average age of 19 years. The version of the test validated by Vallejos et al. was applied, (2012) which has a three-factor structure: Self-knowledge, Self-regulation and Evaluation. To calculate the validity of the instrument, confirmatory factor analysis was applied, and to calculate reliability, Cronbach’s Alpha test and McDonald’s Omega test were applied. The results corroborated the three-factor structure, but only the first dimension obtained adequate reliability indices.

Worldwide, millions of people suffer from neurological and psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases. These conditions are often linked to hyperactivity of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) in the brain, and inhibiting this enzyme can reduce oxidative stress, stabilize neurotransmitter levels, and alleviate symptoms. In this context, a pharmacophoric model was created using PharmaGist with 31 hits extracted from BindingDB to enable a pharmacophoric-based search of potential MAO-B inhibitors in ZincPharmer’s chemical space, followed by the building of 10 conformers for each molecule in the software OMEGA, screening for structural and electrostatic similarity to safinamide using ROCS (Rapid overlay of chemical structures) and EON (Electrostatic similarity for lead-hopping), respectively. In addition, the molecular docking with Gold using the score function was performed to rank the ligands with the highest probabilities of affinity to MAO-B and then discriminate those with suitable physical chemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological features using the tools QikProp, SwissADME, and DEREK. Four potential ligands with selective MAO-B inhibitor properties were identified, which show promise as future therapeutic agents for MAO-B-related disorders.

Evening primrose oil supplements are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, with emphasis on linoleic and γ-linolenic acids, being taken in the treatment and prevention of diseases, but mainly for the relief of symptoms caused by premenstrual tension and menopause in women. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of the lipid profile of evening primrose oil supplements using gas chromatography techniques with a flame ionization detector and mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. For this, eight commercially available national evening primrose oil brands were used. Of the eight samples analyzed, only two met all the standards established in legislation for fatty acids. The remaining capsules were subjected to triacylglycerol analysis and using a calibration curve the presence of soybean oil in the composition of the evening primrose oil capsules was verified. From the triacylglycerol with a mass/charge ratio of 901, it was possible to identify the addition of 31.16-85.88% of soybean oil in six of the eight capsules, leading the consumer to ingest products that did not comply with current legislation. omega6 omega 6 omega- acids γlinolenic γ linolenic diseases women this used analyzed verified masscharge charge 901 31.1685.88% 31168588 31.16 85.88% 31 16 85 88 31.16-85.88 90 1685 31.1685.88 3116858 3116 31.1 8588 85.88 3 1 8 31.16-85.8 9 168 31.1685.8 311685 311 31. 858 85.8 31.16-85. 31.1685. 31168 85. 31.16-85 31.1685 31.16-8 31.168 31.16-

Resumo: Este estudo de design instrumental analisa as evidências de validade e confiabilidade do IAMI-R em adolescentes peruanos. Participaram 486 alunos do quinto ano da escola secundária (segundo o sistema educativo peruano) (44,03 % homens e 55,97 % mulheres) de colégios de Chiclayo (65,43 %) e Cajamarca (34,57 %), Peru, com idades entre 15 e 17 anos (M = 16,23; DP = 0,62). A estrutura interna foi avaliada por meio de análise fatorial confirmatória (AFC) e a confiabilidade por meio dos coeficientes ômega e alfa ordinal. A AFC foi aplicada com o estimador WLSMV, para avaliar o modelo correlacionado de oito fatores, e foram encontrados índices de ajuste adequados: X 2(1052) = 1786,25, p < 0,001, CFI = 0,96, TLI = 0,96, RMSEA (IC 90%) = 0,04 (0,035 - 0,041) e SRMR = 0,05. Os índices de confiabilidade variaram de 0,82 a 0,91. Foram relatadas diferenças significativas na percepção de autoeficácia para as inteligências lógico-matemática, corporal-cinestésica, interpessoal, intrapessoal e espacial, sendo que os homens se autoavaliaram mais capazes do que as mulheres. Os resultados e alcances do estudo são discutidos

Abstract: This instrumental design study examines the validity and reliability evidence of the IAMI-R in Peruvian adolescents. A total of 486 fifth-year high school students (44.03 % male and 55.97 % female) from schools in Chiclayo (65.43 %) and Cajamarca (34.57 %), Peru, participated in the study. The participants were aged between 15 to 17 years (M = 16.23; SD = 0.62). The internal structure was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability was assessed through omega and ordinal alpha coefficients. CFA with the WLSMV estimator was applied to test the model of eight correlated factors, revealing adequate fit indices: X²(1052) = 1786.25, p < .001, CFI = .96, TLI = .96, RMSEA (90% CI) = .04 (.035-.041), and SRMR = .05. The reliability indices ranged from .82 to .91. Significant differences were found in the self-efficacy perceptions for logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and spatial intelligences, with males rating themselves as more capable than females. The results and implications of the study are discussed

Resumen Objetivo: Establecer las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario de agresión (CA) en una muestra de niños y adolescentes colombianos. Método: El AQ fue sometido al juicio de siete expertos con el fin de verificar y ajustar la claridad de los ítems teniendo en cuenta las características de la población colombiana. Luego de este análisis y ajuste de ítems, se aplicó el instrumento a una muestra de 892 participantes entre 10 y 23 años de edad. Para la validez se tuvo en cuenta la evidencia de la estructura interna a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio y la evidencia basada en la relación con otras variables. Resultados: El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró dos modelos, uno de correlación factorial y otro de segundo orden indicando un ajuste del modelo. Asimismo, se calculó la consistencia interna mediante el índice Omega, que mostró precisión en las medidas para cada factor en cada uno de los modelos. El análisis sugirió la eliminación de cuatro ítems. Conclusiones: Se eligió el modelo de primer orden porque la evidencia empírica muestra que operacionaliza satisfactoriamente el modelo teórico de conducta agresiva con el que se construyó el instrumento, asumiendo que las cuatro subescalas son necesarias en su conjunto, pero por sí solas no son suficientes para evaluar la conducta agresiva por medio de sus ítems.

Abstract Objective: To establish the psychometric properties of the aggression questionnaire (AQ) in a sample of Colombian children and adolescents. Method: The AQ was submitted to the judgment of seven experts in order to verify and adjust the clarity of the items taking into account the characteristics of the Colombian population. Following this analysis and adjustment of items, the instrument was applied to a sample of 892 participants between 10 and 23 years of age. For validity, evidence of internal structure was taken into account through confirmatory factor analysis and evidence based on the relationship with other variables. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed two models, one of factorial correlation and the other of second order indicating a model fit. Likewise, internal consistency was calculated by means of the Omega index, which showed precision in the measures for each factor in each of the models. The analysis suggested the elimination of four items. Conclusions: The first-order model was chosen because the empirical evidence shows that it satisfactorily operationalises the theoretical model of aggressive behaviour with which the instrument was constructed, assuming that the four subscales are necessary as a whole, but by themselves are not sufficient to assess aggressive behaviour by means of its items.

Resumen (Objetivo) El objetivo del documento es verificar la estructura factorial de la Escala de Clima Escolar en Ambientes Universitarios (ECEAU) mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM). (Metodología) Se realizó un estudio transversal no experimental con una muestra aleatoria de 381 estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, a los que se le aplicó la ECEAU. Se planteó un modelo SEM para verificar la estructura factorial de la escala y un análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) que brindó la base para proponer un modelo SEM alternativo con una estructura distinta. La confiabilidad de las escalas se determinó mediante el omega de McDonald y los criterios de bondad de ajuste para los modelos SEM fueron el RMSEA, el CFI, el TLI y el GFI. El análisis se efectuó con el software R. (Resultados) La confiabilidad de las escalas en ambos modelos resultaron adecuadas (w >0.70), aunque mejores en el modelo propuesto. El AFE sugirió una estructura diferente para la ECEAU, manteniendo algunas dimensiones de la estructura original y modificando y eliminando otras. Los indicadores de bondad de ajuste, en ambos modelos, fueron casi idénticos con RMSEA=0.02, CFI=0.99, el TLI=0.99 y GFI=0.98, lo que brinda evidencia a favor de las estructuras factoriales planteadas. (Conclusiones) Se verifica la estructura originalmente planteada en la ECEAU y las diferencias en los métodos de estimación y rotación generaron la propuesta de otra estructura factorial, igualmente válida, para medir el constructo clima escolar, en el contexto universitario estudiado y que puede ser aplicado a contextos similares.

Resumo (Objetivo) O objetivo do artigo é verificar a estrutura fatorial da Escala de Clima Escolar em Ambientes Universitários (ECEAU) usando modelagem de equações estruturais (SEM). (Metodologia) Foi realizado um estudo transversal não experimental com uma amostra aleatória de 381 alunos da Universidade Nacional da Costa Rica, aos quais foi aplicada a ECEAU. Uma modelagem SEM foi usada para verificar a estrutura fatorial da escala e uma análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) forneceu a base para a proposta de uma modelagem SEM alternativa com uma estrutura diferente.

(Resultados) A confiabilidade das escalas em ambos os modelos foi adequada (w >0,70), embora melhor no modelo proposto. A AFE sugeriu uma estrutura diferente para a ECEAU, mantendo algumas dimensões da estrutura original e modificando e eliminando outras. Os indicadores de adequação em ambos os modelos foram quase idênticos, com RMSEA=0,02, CFI=0,99, TLI=0,99 e GFI=0,98, o que fornece evidências a favor das estruturas de fatores propostas. (Conclusões) Confirmou-se a estrutura originalmente proposta no ECEAU e as diferenças nos métodos de estimativa e rotação geraram a proposta de outra estrutura fatorial, igualmente válida, para medir o construto clima escolar no contexto universitário estudado e que pode ser aplicada a contextos semelhantes.

Abstract (Objective) The aim of this paper is to verify the factorial structure of the School Climate Scale in University Environments (ECEAU) through structural equation models (SEM). (Methodology) A non-experimental cross-sectional study was carried out with a random sample of 381 students of the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA), to whom the ECEAU was applied. A SEM model was proposed to confirm the factor structure of the scale and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to provide the basis for an alternative SEM model with a different structure. The reliability of scales was determined using McDonald’s omega, and the goodness of fit indexes used for the SEM models were the RMSEA, the CFI, the TLI and the GFI. The analysis was carried out using R software. (Results) The reliability of the scales in both models was adequate (w>0.70), although the metrics in the proposed model produced better results. The AFE suggested a different structure for the ECEAU, keeping some dimensions of the original structure and modifying and eliminating others. The goodness of fit indexes in both models were almost identical, with RMSEA=0.02, CFI=0.99, TLI=0.99 and GFI=0.98, which provides supporting evidence for the factorial structures proposed. (Conclusions) The original structure of the ECEAU was confirmed, while the differences in the results of the estimation and rotation methods generated another equally valid factorial structure for measuring the school climate construct in this university, and could be applied to other similar contexts.

El MEE generó un modelo con índices de bondad de ajuste en una solución final de 17 ítems y 3 dimensiones correlacionadas con coeficientes superiores a .46. Limitaciones de la investigación: La medición de actitudes de transinclusión en una sociedad donde se ha documentado que tal constructo está en desarrollo y el no recabar datos demográficos en la muestra sobre sus creencias religiosas. Hallazgos: Un instrumento de medida sobre actitudes transincluyentes para actores sociales clave interesados en la promoción de la inclusión de las personas trans, sus derechos humanos y la igualdad sustantiva.

Abstract Purpose: To adapt and validate in Sonora the scale to measure Attitudes towards Transgender People in University Students (EATU), which measures the inclusion of trans people in Higher Education Institutions (HEIS). Methodological design: Quantitative, cross-sectional and non-experimental study. 860 participants were selected among three HEIS, with non-probabilistic and intentional sampling. A 4-point Likert-type scale survey was applied that evaluates transinclusive attitudes. Reliability was obtained with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. For validity, the sample was randomly divided into two; In subsample 1, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was carried out and in subsample 2, the model resulting from the EFA was tested using a Structural Equation Model (SEM). Results: The EFA yielded a final solution EATU of 32 items grouped into 3 dimensions called sensitivity, coexistence and cisexist stigma, with values that demonstrate validity and reliability. The SEM generated a model with indices of fitness in a final solution of 17 items and 3 correlated dimensions with acceptable coefficients. Research limitations: The measurement of transinclusion attitudes in a society where it has been documented that such construct is barely being developing, and the failure to collect demographic data on the sample about their religious beliefs. Findings: A measurement instrument on transinclusive attitudes for key social actors interested in promoting the inclusion of trans people, their human rights and substantive equality.

RESUMEN Diversas escalas se utilizan como herramientas de detección de depresión en entornos clínicos e investigación epidemiológica; sin embargo, muchas de ellas presentan una gran cantidad de ítems y están validadas solo de manera presencial. Objetivo: Validar, por medio de una encuesta virtual, la versión corta de 4 ítems de la Escala de Psicopatología Depresiva (EPD-4), tomando como patrón de referencia la Escala de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos (CES-D). Materiales y métodos: Un total de 256 personas respondieron una encuesta virtual que incluyó preguntas generales sobre características sociodemográficas y antecedentes, la EPD-4 y la CES-D. Se evaluó la estructura de la EPD-4 y se contrastaron sus puntajes con la presencia de depresión definida por un puntaje de la CES-D ≥ 24. Resultados: Con la CES-D como patrón de referencia, la EPD-4 tuvo un área bajo la curva ROC (característica operativa del receptor) de 0,9243 (intervalo de confianza al 95 %: 0,8899-0,9587) con un punto de corte óptimo de 4 (índice de Youden: 0,7; sensibilidad: 82,19 %; y especificidad: 87,43 %). La consistencia interna fue adecuada, con un coeficiente omega de McDonald de 0,8229. El ítem sobre anhedonia fue el que más contribuyó a la medición de la EPD-4. Conclusión: La EPD-4 en línea presentó propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, siendo válida para detectar depresión, tomando como referencia la CES-D.

ABSTRACT A diversity of scales are used as screening tools for depression in clinical settings and epidemiological research; however, many of them have a large number of items and are only validated in person. Objective: The aim of this study was the online validation of the 4-item short version of the Depressive Psychopathology Scale (DPS-4), taking as a reference standard the Depression Scale of the Center for Epidemiological Studies (CES-D). Materials and methods: A total of 256 participants answered a virtual survey, which included general questions about sociodemographic characteristics and background, the DPS-4 scale, and the CES-D. The structure of the DPS-4 was evaluated and its scores were contrasted with the diagnosis of depression defined by a CES-D score ≥24. Results: Taking the CES-D as the reference standard, the DPS-4 had an area under the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve of 0.9243 (95% confidence interval: 0.8899-0.9587) and the optimal cut-off point was 4 (Youden index: 0.7, sensitivity: 82.19% and specificity: 87.43%). Internal consistency was appropriate, with a McDonald's Omega coefficient of 0.8229. The item on anhedonia was the one that contributed the most to the measurement of the DPS-4. Conclusion: The online DPS-4 demonstrated adequate psychometric properties and proved to be valid for detecting depression, using the CES-D as a reference standard.

Resumen Este estudio se centra en analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Prueba de Homonegatividad Internalizada en individuos homosexuales del departamento de Nariño (Colombia), con el propósito de desarrollar un instrumento pertinente y adaptado para los estudios sobre género y orientación sexual en la región. Se emplea un diseño transversal instrumental de enfoque cuantitativo, con una muestra de 161 participantes, tanto gais como lesbianas, provenientes de 25 municipios de Nariño. La edad de los participantes abarcó un rango de 15 a 87 años, seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia tipo Bola de Nieve. Se aplicaron la Prueba de Homonegatividad Internalizada, la Escala de Reconocimiento de la Orientación Sexual Homosexual y un Cuestionario Sociodemográfico-Generacional. Se realizaron análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, pruebas de correlación y de hipótesis, así como cálculos de Alfa de Cronbach y Omega de McDonald mediante el software JASP V 0.17.1. Los resultados indican que el instrumento muestra una estructura unifactorial que explica el 56.4 % de la varianza común de los datos y una consistencia interna adecuada, con valores de fiabilidad entre 0.828 y 0.894. Estos hallazgos respaldan la fiabilidad de la escala para medir la homonegatividad internalizada en el contexto estudiado.

Abstract This study focuses on analyzing the psychometric properties of the Internalized Homonegativity Test among homosexual individuals in the department of Nariño (Colombia), aiming to develop a relevant and adapted instrument for gender and sexual orientation studies in the region. It employs a quantitative instrumental cross-sectional design with a sample of 161 participants, including both gay and lesbian individuals from 25 municipalities in Nariño. Participants' ages ranged from 15 to 87 years, selected through convenience sampling using the Snowball method. The Internalized Homonegativity Test, the Homosexual Sexual Orientation Recognition Scale, and a Sociodemographic-Generational Questionnaire were administered. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, correlation and hypothesis testing, and calculations of Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega were conducted using JASP V 0.17.1 software. The results indicate that the instrument exhibits a unifactorial structure explaining 56.4 % of the common variance in the data and adequate internal consistency, with reliability values ranging from 0.828 to 0.894. These findings support the scale's reliability for measuring internalized homonegativity in the studied context.
