El objetivo del presente trabajo fue especificar un modelo para el estudio de las actitudes hacia los efectos de la pandemia sobre el medio ambiente. Se realizó un trabajo exploratorio, transversal y correlacional con 100 estudiantes, considerando su confinamiento y uso intensivo de tecnologías, dispositivos y redes electrónicas. Se encontró una estructura factorial de tres componentes; afectivo, cognitivo e intencional con siete indicadores cada uno sumando un total de 21 la cual explicó el 35% de la varianza total, aunque el diseño de la investigación limitó los resultados al escenario del estudio, sugiriendo la extensión del trabajo hacia la contrastación del modelo propuesto.

A model is a data management, production and transfer system organized in explanatory trends of past, current and future relationships. The emphasis on each suggests decision making and strategy execution. The objective of this work was to specify a model for of the perception of utility. An exploratory and cross-sectional study was conducted with a selection of 186 students from a public university in central Mexico, considering their participation in the system of professional practices and social service in local organizations. The validity of the instrument that found a one-dimensional variable that explained 43% of the variance was established, but the research design limited the results to the research scenario, suggesting the extension of the work.

Although federal regulations require the presence of at least one nonaffiliated member on the roster of an institutional review board (IRB), little research exists about how to foster their participation and satisfaction. Guided by principles of justice and diversity, the Kaiser Permanente Southern California IRB adapted the sociological concept of "cultural capital" to develop training and support with its nonaffiliated IRB members. Using in-depth qualitative interviews with four past and current nonaffiliated IRB members, we describe how our initial and ongoing activities enhanced their ability to analyze, communicate, and complete the ethical review of research. This case study is situated in the gaps of existing research about nonaffiliated IRB members by providing insights into how to sustain their engagement while protecting the rights of research volunteers, particularly from vulnerable communities.
