Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Abierto Inglés Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is viewed as a transitional stage between normal brain aging and dementia and is characterized by subtle cognitive deficits without significant impairment in daily functioning. Growing evidence supports the contribution of neuroinflammation and modifiable lifestyle factors, including diet, in the progression of cognitive decline.Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet, neuroinflammatory biomarkers, and MCI status in older adults.Design: Ninety-two participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, including 37 subjects with MCI. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet explored through the MedDietScore. Plasma levels of TGF-β1 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. Cognitive status was evaluated using the Mini Mental Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), both adjusted for age and education. Statistical analyses included non-parametric tests, correlation analysis, and logistic regression models.Results: MCI patients showed significantly reduced plasma levels of TGF-β1 and increased TNF-α concentrations compared to other participants. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower likelihood of MCI in a dose–response manner (highest versus lowest adherence quartile, odds ratio: 0.07, 95% confidence interval: 0.01–0.60). Additional adjustment for inflammatory biomarkers attenuated the associations, suggesting a potential mediating role.Conclusion: Our findings showed that higher adherence to Mediterranean diet is associated with lower likelihood of being MCI. Such a relation might be, at least in part, mediated by inflammatory biomarkers. Overall, these results support the role of dietary modulation in preventive strategies against cognitive decline and progression into MCI. metadata Grasso, Margherita; L’Episcopo, Francesca; Fidilio, Annamaria; Olvera-Moreira, Marco Antonio; Toscano, Giuseppe; Muratore, Stefano; Drago, Margherita; Musso, Sabrina; Bentivegna, Veronica; Costanzo, Lucrezia; Toral-Noristz, Melannie; Zambrano-Villacres, Raynier; León Brizuela, Lisandra; Lanza, Giuseppe; Ferri, Raffaele y Caraci, Filippo mail SIN ESPECIFICAR (2026) Adherence to the Mediterranean diet, inflammatory biomarkers and cognitive status in older Italian adults.

Universidad de La Romana > Investigación > Producción Científica Abierto Inglés With the growing academic pressure and competitive educational environment, students often face mental stress, which can affect their academic performance and mental health. Its accurate and timely detection and prevention is important. Traditionally, mental stress has been reported by self-assessment, which is highly subjective and can be erroneous. With advances in neuroscience, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have been used to study brain states more objectively. EEG-based features, including time-domain, frequency-domain, and various types of connectivity features, have been used to effectively classify stress signals. However, these individual features are only able to present one aspect of the brain under stress. Several studies have combined a distinct set of features extracted from EEG signals, including time and frequency domain features, with other peripheral signals. Stress is a complex mechanism which leads to alternation in brain dynamics, its connectivity patterns and information flow. This study proposed a feature-fusion model that can effectively combine spatial features, i.e. Microstates (MS), connectivity features like Transfer Entropy (TE) and Granger Causality (GC), which provided a new neuromarker for stress classification. These features are combined with attention fusion, which enhances the discriminant features and mitigates the individual limitations within each modality. We also extracted microstates for stress-based signals. It provided a new set of microstate topomaps to study brain networks when under stress, which was not explored previously. The proposed Attention-fusion based multi-feature set is classified using Support Vector Machine, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and gave a reliable accuracy of 95.47%, 98.91%, and 83.49%, respectively. To validate the proposed method, the classification results were compared with individual and binary fusion of MS, TE and GC features, which further confirmed the robustness of the framework. This proposed feature fusion provides a more robust stress classification neuromarker, which can effectively cover the brain dynamics for accurate reporting of the underlying mental state. metadata Ejaz, Saliha; Javed, Soyiba; Shafi, Imran; Ahmad, Jamil; Allende Monje, Samuel; Alemany Iturriaga, Josep; Choi, Jin-Ghoo y Ashraf, Imran mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, samuel.allende@uneatlantico.es, josep.alemany@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2026) Attention-based multi-feature fusion neuromarker for EEG-driven stress classification in learners.

Universidad de La Romana > Investigación > Producción Científica Abierto Español Introducción: la neuroinflamación crónica de bajo grado y la disfunción del eje intestino-cerebro constituyen mecanismos centrales en la fisiopatología del trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). La curcumina, un polifenol derivado de Curcuma longa, presenta propiedades antiinflamatorias, antioxidantes y neuroinmunomoduladoras que podrían tener un impacto terapéutico en esta población. Objetivos: evaluar los efectos de la suplementación con curcumina sobre la inflamación sistémica, la regulación del procesamiento sensorial y los trastornos de la interacción intestino-cerebro en niños con TEA. Métodos: se realizó un ensayo clínico aleatorizado, doble ciego y controlado con placebo en 60 niños con TEA durante ocho semanas. Los participantes fueron asignados a recibir curcumina (3.000 mg/día) o placebo. Se evaluaron como variables principales la proteína C reactiva ultrasensible (PCR-us), la velocidad de sedimentación globular (VSG) y la calprotectina fecal. Como variables secundarias, se analizaron el Índice General de Disfunción de la Regulación del Procesamiento Sensorial (IGDRPS) y los criterios Roma IV para trastornos de la interacción intestino-cerebro. Resultados: el grupo tratado con curcumina presentó reducciones significativas en PCR-us (-83,8 %), VSG (-42,3 %) y calprotectina fecal (-73,7 %), junto con una mejoría del 49 % en el IGDRPS y resolución de los síntomas gastrointestinales en el 90 % de los casos (p < 0,001). No se registraron eventos adversos durante la intervención. Conclusiones: la suplementación con curcumina atenúa la inflamación sistémica y entérica, mejora la regulación sensorial y reduce los trastornos funcionales gastrointestinales en niños con TEA, posicionándose como una alternativa coadyuvante segura, accesible y de bajo costo dentro de un abordaje integrativo. metadata Vergara Serpa, Juan José y Sumalla Cano, Sandra mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, sandra.sumalla@uneatlantico.es (2026) Curcumina en niños con trastorno del espectro autista: inflamación sistémica, regulación sensorial y trastornos de la interacción intestino-cerebro.

Artículo Materias > Psicología Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Abierto Inglés This study analyzes the relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance in hybrid contexts, characterized by a combination of in-person and remote learning modalities. Using a quantitative correlational approach and a cross-sectional design, validated scales were administered to a sample of 120 Latin American workers from various sectors, including technology, education, telecommunications, and public administration. The results showed a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and task performance (ρ = 0.65) and contextual performance (ρ = 0.56), as well as a negative correlation with counterproductive behaviors. These associations support the literature that highlights the strategic value of emotional competencies in complex work environments. The study highlights the significance of recognizing emotional intelligence as a multifaceted resource that fosters adaptation, psychological well-being, and organizational effectiveness. It also highlights the need to integrate emotional development programs into human talent management, particularly in hybrid frameworks where autonomy, asynchronous collaboration, and emotional regulation are key factors. The study provides relevant empirical evidence for the formulation of organizational policies that aim to strengthen human capital beyond traditional economic incentives. metadata González Morales, Dislayne mail SIN ESPECIFICAR (2025) Beyond salary, emotional intelligence, and performance in hybridenvironments.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Abierto Inglés Predicting depression intensity from microblogs and social media posts has numerous benefits and applications, including predicting early psychological disorders and stress in individuals or the general public. A major challenge in predicting depression using social media posts is that the existing studies do not focus on predicting the intensity of depression in social media texts but rather only perform the binary classification of depression and moreover noisy data makes it difficult to predict the true depression in the social media text. This study intends to begin by collecting relevant Tweets and generating a corpus of 210000 public tweets using Twitter public application programming interfaces (APIs). A strategy is devised to filter out only depression-related tweets by creating a list of relevant hashtags to reduce noise in the corpus. Furthermore, an algorithm is developed to annotate the data into three depression classes: ‘Mild,’ ‘Moderate,’ and ‘Severe,’ based on International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) depression diagnostic criteria. Different baseline classifiers are applied to the annotated dataset to get a preliminary idea of classification performance on the corpus. Further FastText-based model is applied and fine-tuned with different preprocessing techniques and hyperparameter tuning to produce the tuned model, which significantly increases the depression classification performance to an 84% F1 score and 90% accuracy compared to baselines. Finally, a FastText-based weighted soft voting ensemble (WSVE) is proposed to boost the model’s performance by combining several other classifiers and assigning weights to individual models according to their individual performances. The proposed WSVE outperformed all baselines as well as FastText alone, with an F1 of 89%, 5% higher than FastText alone, and an accuracy of 93%, 3% higher than FastText alone. The proposed model better captures the contextual features of the relatively small sample class and aids in the detection of early depression intensity prediction from tweets with impactful performances. metadata Rizwan, Muhammad; Mushtaq, Muhammad Faheem; Rafiq, Maryam; Mehmood, Arif; Diez, Isabel de la Torre; Gracia Villar, Mónica; Garay, Helena y Ashraf, Imran mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, monica.gracia@uneatlantico.es, helena.garay@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2024) Depression Intensity Classification from Tweets Using FastText Based Weighted Soft Voting Ensemble.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Abierto Inglés Communication professionals are experiencing a growing level of exposure to traumatic events as a result of their involvement in the coverage of various tragedies, including accidents, climatic disasters, rights violations, and acts of terrorism. However, it is worth noting that journalism and communication university courses often lack comprehensive instruction on effectively managing emotional challenges, anxiety, trauma, self-care, and the prevention of vicarious trauma. The objective of this study is to assess the inclusion of emotional management within the curricula of Journalism and Communication programmes offered by two universities in Catalonia, namely the University of Barcelona and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. In order to accomplish this objective, a series of semi-structured interviews were carried out with a total of twelve (12) professors who specialise in the fields of Journalism and Communication. Additionally, a thorough analysis was conducted on a set of 97 study plan guides. The results indicate that none of the participants in the interviews possess knowledge regarding any existing training programmes focused on emotional management. Furthermore, they unanimously agree on the importance of implementing such courses. The study plans did not include any subjects that were specifically dedicated to the topic of emotional management. This study presents a set of strategies aimed at creating a cross-disciplinary teaching-learning model that offers a comprehensive educational experience for students. This entails integrating precise subject matter on the previously mentioned topics, fostering critical contemplation and discourse regarding emotions within the educational setting, and advocating for ethical and sound professional behaviours. metadata Escudero, Carolina; Prola, Thomas; Fraga, Leticia y Soriano Flores, Emmanuel mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, thomas.prola@uneatlantico.es, leticia.fraga@uneatlantico.es, emmanuel.soriano@uneatlantico.es (2023) Emotional Management in Journalism and Communication Studies.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Cerrado Inglés Many earlier studies conducted on sports betting and addiction have examined sports betting in the context of gambling and have not taken into account the specific motivations of sports betting. Therefore, the effects of motivational elements of sports betting on sports betting addiction risk are unknown. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of motivation factors specific to sports betting on sports betting addiction. Accordingly, three linked studies were conducted. Firstly, to determine sports betting motivations “Sports Betting Motivation Scale (SBMS)” developed and validated. Secondly, to determine the risks of sports betting addiction “Problem Sports Betting Severity Index (PSBSI)” was adapted from Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Finally, the third study examined effects of the sports betting motivations on sports betting addiction risk. Study one (n=281), study two comprised (n=230), and the final study comprised (n=643) sports fans who bet on sports regularly for 12 months with different motivations. The findings demonstrate that the SBMS appears to be a reliable and valid instrument for assessing sports betting motivations. Also, the findings provided PSBSI validity for the use of the Turkish and sports betting adapted version of PGSI. As a result of the main research, “make money,” “socialization,” and “being in the game” motivations were found to be positive predictors of sports betting addiction risk, while “fun” motivation was a negative predictor. The motivations “recreation/escape,” “knowledge of the game,” and “interest in sport” were found not to be significant predictors of the risk of sports betting addiction. metadata Gökce Yüce, Sevda; Yüce, Arif; Katırcı, Hakan; Nogueira-López, Abel y González-Hernández, Juan mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, abel.nogueira@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2021) Effects of Sports Betting Motivations on Sports Betting Addiction in a Turkish Sample.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Cerrado Inglés In recent decades, perfectionism has generated growing interest from the scientific community in understanding exercise addiction, due to the explicative contributions offered its characteristics that can make individuals more susceptible to unhealthy and compulsive exercise. There have been limited studies of such constructions in sports contexts. With the purpose of identifying the most relevant evidence on the constructs in sports contexts, the main links between perfectionism and exercise addiction in athletes were described. Taking into account the principles established by the PRISMA and AMSTAR statements for the qualitative and quantitative description of findings in systematic reviews, a compendium of original articles in English, French and Spanish published on the Web of Science electronic platforms and databases is presented, Scopus, ProQuest, MEDLINE and EBSCO-HOST, and included major resources such as PSY Articles, PsycINFO, LWW, ERIC, SportDISCUS, PubMed, ERIC, Dialnet, PubMed, ISOC, the Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. Of the 754 articles identified, only 22 met the established inclusion criteria. Finally, the relationship between exercise addiction and perfectionism, and the risk function of certain personality traits, such as narcissism, in this association is confirmed. metadata González-Hernández, J.; Nogueira-López, Abel; Zangeneh, M. y López-Mora, C. mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, abel.nogueira@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2021) Exercise Addiction and Perfectionism, Joint in the Same Path?

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Investigación > Artículos y libros Abierto Inglés Background: In an unprecedented situation of interruption of the sporting dynamics, the world of sport is going through a series of adaptations necessary to continue functioning despite coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). More than ever, athletes are facing a different challenge, a source of discomfort and uncertainty, and one that absolutely alters not only sports calendars, but also trajectories, progressions, and approaches to sports life. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the levels of psychological vulnerability that may have been generated in the athletes, because of the coexistence with dysfunctional responses during the COVID-19 experience, and which directly influence the decrease of their mental health. Methods: With a descriptive and transversal design, the study aims to identify the state of the dysfunctional psychological response of a sample of Spanish athletes (N = 284). The DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale), Toronto-20 (alexithymia), and Distress Tolerance Scale questionnaires were administered to a sample of high-level Spanish athletes in Olympic programs. Results: The results suggest that the analyzed athletes indicate high levels of dysfunctional response (e.g., anxiety, stress, depression, and alexithymia) when their tolerance is low. In addition, the variables show less relational strength, when the capacity of tolerance to distress is worse and age is lower. At the same time, the greater the anxiety and uncertainty are, leading to more catastrophic and negative thoughts, the younger the athletes are. Conclusions: It is clear that both age and tolerance to distress are considered adequate protective factors for psychological vulnerability in general and for associated dysfunctional responses in particular. Moreover, the psychological resources offered by more experienced athletes are also a guarantee of protection against negativity and catastrophism. metadata González-Hernández, Juan; López-Mora, Clara; Yüce, Arif; Nogueira-López, Abel y Tovar-Gálvez, Maria Isabel mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, abel.nogueira@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2021) “Oh, My God!
