Aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial en la escritura y la corrección académicas en la universidad: Una revisión sistemática
La corrección y la edición son esenciales para mejorar la calidad de los textos. Aunque existe abundante bibliografía sobre herramientas tecnológicas para identificar errores semánticos y léxico-gramaticales, las pruebas sobre la eficacia real de la inteligencia artificial (ia) en este proceso siguen siendo limitadas, y los estudios varían en alcance y rigor. Este estudio examina si las pruebas existentes apoyan o contradicen la hipótesis de que …
Application of inverse weighting analysis to assess the association of youth perceptions with the age of initiation of tobacco products
Introduction: To examine if perceptions of harmfulness and addictiveness of hookah and cigarettes impact the age of initiation of hookah and cigarettes, respectively, among US youth. Youth (12-17 years old) users and never users of hookah and cigarettes during their first wave of PATH participation were analyzed by each tobacco product (TP) independently. The effect of perceptions of (i) harmfulness and (ii) addictiveness at the first wave of PAT…

The association of perceptions of harmfulness and addictiveness on the age of initiation of cigar product use among youth: Findings from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) study, 2…
Background: Perceptions of cigar products' harmfulness and addictiveness in youth are associated with subsequent cigar product initiation, but their association on the age of initiation of cigar product use is unknown. Methods: The association of perceptions of harmfulness and addictiveness at youth's first wave of PATH participation (waves 1 or 2 in years 2013-2015) on the age of initiation of (i) ever. (ii) past 30-day, and (iii) fairly regular…
Effects of Large-Scale Municipal Safe Routes to School Infrastructure on Student Active Travel and Physical Activity: Design, Methods, and Baseline Data of the Safe Travel Environment Evaluation in Te…
Past evaluations of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs have been relatively small in scope and have lacked objective measurements of physical activity. A 2016 Mobility Bond in Austin, Texas, USA, allocated USD 27.5 million for infrastructure changes to facilitate active commuting to schools (ACS). The Safe TRavel Environment Evaluation in Texas Schools (STREETS) study aims to determine the health effects of these infrastructure changes. The pu…
The Effect of Perceptions of Hookah Harmfulness and Addictiveness on the Age of Initiation of Hookah Use among Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Youth
Despite the negative health consequence of hookah, hookah risk perceptions are misguided among youth. Secondary data analysis of 12-17-year-old never hookah users at their first wave of PATH participation (2013-2019) was performed. The effect of perceptions of hookah harmfulness and addictiveness on the age of initiation ever, past 30-day, and fairly regular hookah use were estimated using interval-censored Cox proportional hazards models. The di…
Age of Initiation of Dual Tobacco Use and Binge Drinking among Youth (12–17 Years Old): Findings from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study
Earlier exposure to binge drinking and tobacco use is associated with higher odds of substance use disorders. Using national youth data from the PATH study, we prospectively estimate the age of initiating past 30-day use of (1) cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and binge drinking, and (2) cigarettes, cigarillos, and binge drinking. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate differences in the age of initiation by sex, race/ethnicity, and previo…

Background: One potential exposure on a dairy farm is Mycobacterium bovis or bovine tuberculosis (bTB)—an infectious zoonotic pathogen. The prevalence of tuberculosis among dairy workers in the U.S. is unknown largely due to insufficient surveillance and testing practices. Our objective was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of LTBI among dairy workers potentially exposed to cattle infected with bTB in two Bailey County, Texas dairy far…

A Simulation of the potential impact of restricting tobacco retail outlets around middle and high schools on tobacco advertisements
Students can be exposed to a great deal of tobacco advertising in TROs around their schools. The implementation of a 1000 ft ban of TROs, or at minimum a ban on tobacco advertising outside and within these outlets, is one way to prevent or reduce the use of tobacco among adolescents

Transitar periferias y resistir en la precariedad: Cuerpos e identidades trans en el Caribe colombiano
This paper reflects upon how trans people in the Colombian Caribbean build their bodies and identities on the basis of an ongoing process of subjectivation. The trans body is produced in power settings, but it is not defined by it, which enables a real fostering of techniques and technologies that are made up in a range of diversities in precarious contexts; bodies unintelligible by a binary sex-gender system, which often results in these bodies …

Estimación de la oferta de médicos especialistas en Colombia con el método de captura-recaptura
The capture-recapture technique is useful in the study of human resources. In Colombia the number of specialists doubled in less than a decade. There are specialties that are already oversupplied, such as neurosurgery. All the other specialties show growth rates that indicate a future over-supply for the health care system
Physical activity and overweight among adolescents on the Texas-Mexico border
Nearly one-third of the students in both Matamoros and the LRGV are at risk for overweight or are overweight. Implementation of interventions on healthful dietary choices and participation in physical education classes and sports teams are essential for reducing the extremely high prevalence of overweight among students on both sides of the Texas/Mexico border
Using Visual Methods to Uncover Context
The accurate assessment of physical activity and dietary intake is essential for assessing the relationships between physical activity, dietary intake, and health outcomes. However, the measurement of physical activity and dietary intake among women, particularly minority women, poses unique challenges related to gender, ethnicity, and social context. Measures that are not culturally relevant or sensitive to the experiences, traditions, or belief…
