RESUMO
The purpose of this study is to develop and empirically test a structural equation model (SEM) for healthy and effective self-regulation based on the propositions of self-determination theory (SDT). A cross-sectional data sample (N = 6,705) is used to test the model. The results of the SEM demonstrate good to excellent global fit indices (RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.04 CFI = 0.97, TLI/NNFI = 0.95) and excellent local fit indices (p < 0.001). It is acknowledged that longitudinal and experimental research designs will be necessary to infer causal effects. However, based on the strong theoretical and empirical grounding of the model, indications for causal effects are discussed beyond correlational relations. The local fit indices imply that autonomy of goals, intrinsic values orientation, mindfulness, and the newly integrated construct clarity about personal values positively affect psychological needs satisfaction and facets of subjective and psychological well-being. Additionally, they indicate that mindfulness and clarity about personal values have the greatest benefits on individual health, well-being, and effectiveness. These results are crucial as they emphasize the significant role of mindfulness in healthy and effective self-regulation. Furthermore, they put the spotlight on a rather new construct; clarity about personal values. By having transferred the knowledge base of SDT into an empirically derived model of healthy and effective self-regulation, this study provides well-grounded indications of how health, well-being, and effectiveness in individuals may be fostered. These indications offer new insights for theory building and practical interventions in domains like psychotherapy, healthcare, organizations, sports, and education. (AU)

In this study, we analyzed how urban, housing, and socioeconomic variables are related to COVID-19 incidence. As such, we have analyzed these variables along with demographic, education, employment, and COVID-19 data from 32 communes in Santiago de Chile between March and August of 2020, before the release of the vaccines. The results of our Principal Component Analysis (PCA) confirmed that those communes with more economic, social, organizational, and infrastructural resources were overall less affected by COVID-19. As the dimensions affecting COVID-19 are based on structural variables, this study discusses to what extent our cities can be prepared for the next pandemic. Recommendations for local decision-makers in controlling illegal immigration and investing in housing and urban parks are drawn.

RESUMO
A partir de un enfoque socio-técnico y una perspectiva de género, nos hemos planteado mostrar la relación que existe entre el usuario, en este caso, el Personal Docente e Investigador y las políticas de conciliación trabajo-familia que ofrece la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, en Bellaterra. Veremos las estrategias de traducción de estos instrumentos de conciliación que son reflejadas a través de la forma en que se completan los procesos de domesticación. Descubriremos que las capacidades de las tecnologías no están nunca dadas per se, sino que aprehender sus usos pasa siempre por un trabajo de interpretación; traducción que en este caso tiene relación con una cultura sexista y jerárquica de la organización(AU)
Starting with a social-construction-of-technology (SCOT) approach and a gender perspective, we have considered to show the relation that exists between the user, in this case, the Professors and the work-life balance policies, that Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona offers, in Bellaterra. We will see the translation strategies of these instruments of conciliation, that are reflected across the way in which the domestication processes are completed. We will discover that the technologies capacities are never given per se, but to hold its uses always goes through a work of interpretation; translation that in this case is related to a sexist and hierarchic organizational culture(AU)
