Thirty-one family physicians, from 19 primary care teams in Biscay (Spain), were randomly assigned to intervention or control group. The 75 intervention family physicians, after training in primary bereavement care, saw 43 widows for 7 sessions, from the 4th to 13th month after their loss. The 16 control family physicians, without primary bereavement care training, saw 44 widows for 7 ordinary appointments, with the same schedule. Outcome measures were collected at 4, 10, 16, and 24 months after the loss. A linear mixed model was used. No significant differences were found in favor of the intervention group on grief and indeed control group widows experienced more improvement in somatisation, general health, and general emotional outcomes.
Due to the importance of self-editing, a lot of researches tackled with the nature, the techniques, and the observable role of self-editing in creating good writers. However, very few researches were concerned with CALL and self-editing; no research could be found about using MALL in self-editing. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of mobile phones on EFL learners' self-editing. The Self-editing application (White Smoke) was used for the purpose of the study. The participants of the study were 18 students in the 2nd level of English Department, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. The participants were randomly selected to participate in the study. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a quasiexperimental study was designed, with pre-and-post test for the research subjects. The results of the study revealed statistically significant differences in self-editing in the two areas of grammar and punctuation but no statistically significant differences were revealed in the two areas of spelling and capitalization.
Los valores son un sistema dinámico de conceptos abstractos que guían el comportamiento humano y con los que se trabaja permanentemente en la educación, mientras que los objetivos de vida son una perspectiva sobre la dirección que desean dar las personas a sus vidas. El objetivo de este estudio es describir y relacionar los valores y objetivos de vida más importantes para los estudiantes de cuatro planteles de la Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila ubicados en la ciudad de Monclova. La investigación es cuantitativa, descriptiva y correlacional. Se diseñó un instrumento ad hoc para el estudio conformado por 22 valores y 20 objetivos de vida. Los resultados mostraron que los valores más importantes fueron respeto, justicia, responsabilidad, sinceridad y honestidad, y los menos importantes paciencia, entusiasmo, optimismo, ahorro y obediencia. Los objetivos más relevantes fueron bienestar familiar, desarrollo personal, tener una casa, tener éxito profesional y divertirse, mientras los menos importantes fueron tener poder, casarse, tener hijos, tener fama y dedicarse a la política. Las mujeres tuvieron mayores promedios significativos en 13 valores y 7 objetivos de vida, mientras los hombres solo tuvieron un mayor promedio en el objetivo referente a tener hijos. Se encontraron relaciones significativas entre los valores y los objetivos de vida. En conclusión, los valores que más impacto tienen en la vida de los universitarios están relacionados con el desarrollo profesional, personal y familiar.
