Objective: The NAOS (Nutrición, Actividad Física y Prevención de la Obesidad) strategy implemented by Spanish Ministry of Health proposes a range of healthy dietary guidelines. The objective of this article is to analyze the degree these nutritional patterns are monitored by the Roma population, compared to the rest of the population, compared to the total Spanish population.
Methods: Data from the 2012 National Health Survey and the 2014 Roma Health Survey were compared. Sex, age and socio-occupational scale were used as independent variables, applying a logistic regression analysis to assess their degree of influence.
Results: There was less monitoring carried out by the Roma population of the dietary plans recommended by the Ministry of Health and differences of more of 20 percentage points were found in some of them. In both populations, age was the variable with the greatest influence, but even more so in the Roma population, while sex did not show statistical among Roma people. The follow-up data of these dietary patterns in the Roma population were lower in comparison with any of the socio-occupational groups of the rest of the population.
Conclusions: The Roma population is in a situation of inequality as regards the levels of adherence of the healthy dietary guidelines proposed by the Spanish NAOS strategy. The distance from these healthy eating habits is even greater among the younger Roma population.

Understanding Self-Criticism: A Systematic Review of Qualitative Approaches.

School of Cognitive Psychotherapy, Rome, Italy.
Objective: Self-criticism (SC) is a central transdiagnostic factor in several psychopathological conditions, influencing the development and maintenance of symptomatology. The importance of this construct has stimulated quantitative and qualitative research about it. The main purpose of this systematic review is to highlight which qualitative methods have been used most frequently and which are most suitable for studying SC.

Previous research shows the importance of building up self-help structures in a transnational perspective for the inclusion of migrant women who are fleeing their home countries because of war, violence, or different forms of vulnerability. The mobilization of self-help organizations through the intersection of transnationalism and gender is, in fact, a useful direction for a practice-oriented pedagogy directed both towards (1) the most vulnerable groups of women, or (2) those already empowered either as community leaders or network facilitators, other migrants and the whole native population. For this paper, we compare two video-interviews of refugee women collected in Bulgaria and Italy, which are important receiving countries either at the South-Eastern or Southern external border of the European Union.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of severe asthma (SA) treatments after 12 months in achieving clinical remission (CR) within the context of the Severe Asthma Network in Italy (SANI) using the recent SANI definition of CR on treatment.
Methods: CR has been defined by SANI as complete, partial, and no CR. Complete CR is defined by the absence of oral corticosteroids (OCS), no symptoms, no exacerbations, and stable lung function, and partial CR requires the absence of OCS and the fulfillment of 2 out of the other 3 criteria.

Frankenstein matrices: Among-population life history variation affects the reliability and predictions of demographic models.

Population matrix models are routinely used to study the demography of wild populations and to guide management choices. When vital rates are unknown for a specific population or life history stage, researchers often replace them with estimates from other populations of the same species. Such 'hybrid' matrices might ignore among-population life history variation and lead to incorrect inferences.
