To examine the relationship between bullying and other forms of peer victimization in adolescence and alcohol use or misuse, all the pertinent studies were reviewed. Fourteen databases were searched. Blind assessments of study eligibility and quality were performed by two independent researchers. Seventy-four studies including 2,066,131 participants across 56 countries all over the world and meeting minimum quality criteria that were enough to ensure objectivity and to not invalidate results were analyzed. Across studies, evidence for a significant association between peer victimization and alcohol use or misuse was conflicting. Results were affected by sample size, definition of victim status, specific forms of peer victimization, and specific types of alcohol consumption. There was some evidence for a number of mediating or moderating variables, such as depression, coping, drinking motives, attachment to school, social support, and gender. Findings are discussed according to stress-coping and self-medication hypotheses. Alternative etiological mechanisms are also considered.

The results of a project on news segmentation at Radio Nacional de España (RNE) carried out by the RTVE Technological Innovation and Media Management areas is presented. The aim of this project is to apply artificial intelligence to automatically transcribe and cut the news items that make up a radio news program. The main goals of this project are to increase the accessibility of the content and to allow its reusability on various platforms and social media. The project was planned in two phases, covering system configuration and service delivery. The minimum quality criteria required were defined in advance, both for automatic voice transcription and for news segmentation. For the speech-to-text process, the highest word error rate (WER) allowed was 10%, while the precision rate for the news segmentation was 85%. System performance in both transcription and segmentation was considered to be sufficient, although a higher degree of accuracy in news cutting is expected in the coming months. The results show that, despite using these quite mature technologies, adjustment and learning processes and human intervention are still necessary. Resumen Se presentan los resultados del proyecto para la segmentación en noticias de los informativos de Radio Nacional de España (RNE) llevado a cabo por el Área de Innovación Tecnológica de Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) en colaboración con la Dirección de Medios de RNE. El objetivo de este proyecto es aplicar la inteligencia artificial para el cortado automático de las noticias que componen un informativo radiofónico, para su posterior difusión en la web de RTVE y en medios de comunicación social. El proyecto se planificó en dos fases: una primera de configuración y ajuste del sistema, y una segunda de prestación del servicio propiamente dicho. Los criterios de calidad mínimos exigibles se definieron previamente, tanto para la transcripción automática del habla a texto, para la que se estableció una tasa de error por palabra máxima (WER) del 10%, como para la segmentación de noticias, para la que se definió una tasa de precisión superior al 85%. El rendimiento del sistema tanto en la transcripción como en la segmentación se considera suficiente, si bien se espera alcanzar un mayor grado de precisión en el cortado de noticias en los próximos meses. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que, a pesar de ser tecnologías bastante maduras, son necesarios procesos de ajuste y aprendizaje con la intervención humana.

Abstract Adequate fertilizing management is crucial to reach high mango yields that demand a well-defined fertilizer management, including micronutrient such as boron which management is more difficult due to the narrow range between deficiency and toxicity. This way, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the fruit production and quality of mango cv. Palmer as a function of boron fertilizing management in Brazilian semiarid. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with six treatments (strategies for boron fertilizing), as follows: T1 = five sprays with H3BO3 (two first at 0.3% and three at 0.2%); T2 = five sprays with H3BO3 (two first at 0.3% and three at 0.4%); T3 = five sprays with H3BO3 (two first at 0.3% and three at 0.6%); T4 = two sprays with H3BO3 at 0.3% + three fertigations with 10 g of H3BO3 plant-1; T5 = two sprays with H3BO3 at 0.3% + three fertigations with 20 g of H3BO3 plant-1; and T6 = two sprays with H3BO3 at 0.3% + three fertigations with 40 g of H3BO3 plant-1. Boron fertilizing management (foliar spray and fertigation) affects fruit production and quality of mango cv. ‘Palmer’ grown in semiarid. According to the minimum quality criteria required for mango fruit commercialization and the fruit production per plant in semiarid, five sprays with H3BO3 [two first at 0.3% and three at 0.2%] could be recommended.

With the push for evidence-informed policy and practice, schools and policy makers are now increasingly encouraged and supported to use and enagage with research evidence. This means that consumers of research will now need to be discerning in judging the quality of research evidence that will inform their decisions. This paper evaluates the quality of evidence behind some well-known education programmes using examples from previous reviews of over 5,000 studies on a range of topics. It shows that much of the evidence is weak, and fundamental flaws in research are not uncommon. This is a serious problem if teaching practices and important policy decisions are made based on such flawed evidence. Lives may be damaged and opportunities missed. The aim of this paper is to show how widespread this problem is and to suggest ways by which the quality of education research may be improved. For example, funders of research and research bodies need to insist on quality research and fund only those that meet the minimum quality criteria. Journal editors and reviewers need to be cognizant of fundamental flaws in research and reject such submissions. One way to do this is to encourage submission of the research design and research protocol prior to acceptance, so acceptance or rejection is based on the design and not on the outcomes. This helps prevent publication bias and biased reporting. Individual researchers can improve quality by making it their moral responsibility to be truthful and transparent.

The panorama of kindergartens Canary, as a whole today, is uncertain due to lack of subsidies and as a result of the global crisis that took place in our country years ago. In addition, large cuts have been made and are still continuously used to make public administrations which affect sensitive way to education. Furthermore, we have analyzed the reality of municipal kindergartens of the Canary Islands. This analysis was done based on what we have considered to be a minimum quality criteria for the effective functioning of these services. Also, we have tried to catch a glimpse of the reality of these schools so as to offer the keys to a model of educational management. This however guarantees both the quality of service and the user’s satisfaction.

The evaluation of the quality of higher education is a key issue that involves a diverse array of factors, factors which encourage the revision of policies and systems of accreditation, both of which are systematic and well-established processes in Argentina. The accreditation of an undergraduate programme of study consists of recognition based on certain standards and minimum quality criteria which have been previously determined. This research analyses the makeup of accreditation standards for medical programmes in Argentina. The results demonstrate differences in the makeup of standards in terms of the quantity and distribution of objects of evaluation and variables associated with each other. In addition, we identified a lack of order of appearance of the different objects and related variables in the standards, with certain objects of evaluation being evaluated, followed by others, while afterwards there is a return to these same objects in subsequent standards. Keywords: Standards, accreditation, makeup, undergraduate, medicine.
