PERCEPCIONES DE TUTORES DE PERROS SOBRE LA EFICACIA DE LA ACUPUNTURA Y FISIOTERAPIA EN PROBLEMAS DE MOVILIDAD, ECUADOR
Bibliographic record
Abstract
El estudio analiza la percepción de tutores de perros sobre la eficacia de las terapias alternativas, acupuntura y fisioterapia, aplicadas a canes con problemas de movilidad. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con una muestra final de 133 encuestas válidas. El instrumento se validó mediante el coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach (α = 0.7). La fisioterapia fue la técnica más utilizada (67.7%) y los tutores mostraron un alto nivel de satisfacción, destacando satisfecho (44.4%) como la respuesta más frecuente. Además, el 51.9% de los tutores calificaron como muy satisfecho el impacto de estas terapias sobre la calidad de vida de sus mascotas. Los resultados respaldan la efectividad de estas prácticas integrativas desde la perspectiva del cuidador, lo que sugiere su utilidad como complemento en la medicina veterinaria tradicional.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
