Más allá de los autoinformes: una revisión sistemática sobre el uso de medidas implícitas de las actitudes hacia la violencia de género en España
El estudio de las actitudes hacia la violencia contra las mujeres y de género ha despertado
mucho interés, y se ha llevado a cabo, habitualmente, con medidas explícitas (encuestas y
autoinformes). Para determinar el nivel uso de las medidas implícitas en el estudio de las
actitudes hacia estas violencias, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura al respecto.
La búsqueda en las principales bases de datos permitió identificar 54 registros cuyo análisis
mostró que las investigaciones que emplean estas medidas implícitas se han centrado,
principalmente, en agresiones sexuales hacia menores y actitudes hacia la violencia en general.
Las formas específicas de violencia contra las mujeres (como violencia en la pareja, o
agresiones sexuales) han sido temas menos estudiados, y, cuando lo han sido, más que analizar
actitudes sociales hacia ellas, se han abordado otros objetivos (como analizar los estereotipos, o
contrastar la efectividad de la intervención con maltratadores).The study of attitudes towards violence against women and gender has aroused great interest,
and has been carried out, usually, with explicit measures (surveys and self-reports). To determine
the level of use of implicit measures in the study of attitudes towards these violences, a
systematic review of the literature was carried out. The search in the main databases identified 54
records, whose analysis allow us affirm that use these implicit measures have focused, mainly,
on sexual assaults towards minors and attitudes toward violence in general. The specific forms of
violence against women have been less studied topics, and, when they have been, rather than
analysing social attitudes towards them, other objectives have been addressed (such as
analysing stereotypes, or contrasting the effectiveness of the intervention with abusers)
The Questionnaire of Intention to Help in VAW Cases (QIHVC): Development and preliminary results
Introduction: Violence against women (VAW) is a worldwide social and health
problem of epidemic proportions. This violence is preventable, and bystander
programs are one of the possible preventative strategies. The main purpose of
this research was to develop a tool that, by applying a contrastive methodology
for its application in different forms of violence (forms of gender-based violence,
such as intimate partner VAW, sexual harassment at work, and street harassment,
and common violence, such as a robbery), would allow measuring the probability
of occurrence of bystander response in the face of these types of violence with
good evidence of content validity.
Method: Firstly (Study 1), an initial version of a measure tool, the Questionnaire
of Intention to Help in VAW Cases (QIHVC), was developed; secondly (Study 2), a
Delphi (modified) study was carried out to obtain valid, content-based evidence;
and finally (Study 3), a pilot study was carried out to evaluate the appropriate
functioning of the QIHVC and, if required, to make any necessary adjustments.
Results and discussion: The main result is the development of a set of case
scenarios and a questionnaire related to its content which constitutes the QIHVC
and, in its initial approximation, seems to constitute an adequate and sensible tool
to capture the differences between the characterizations of common violence
and VAW and in the possible response of bystanders in the face of such violenc
Synthetic spectra of H Balmer and HeI absorption lines. II: Evolutionary synthesis models for starburst and post-starburst galaxies
We present evolutionary stellar population synthesis models to predict the
spectrum of a single-metallicity stellar population, with a spectral sampling
of 0.3 A in five spectral regions between 3700 and 5000 A. The models, which
are optimized for galaxies with active star formation, synthesize the profiles
of the hydrogen Balmer series (Hb, Hg, Hd, H8, H9, H10, H11, H12 and H13) and
the neutral helium absorption lines (HeI 4922, HeI 4471, HeI 4388, HeI 4144,
HeI 4121, HeI 4026, HeI 4009 and HeI 3819) for a burst with an age ranging from
1 to 1000 Myr, and different assumptions about the stellar initial mass
function. Continuous star formation models lasting for 1 Gyr are also
presented. The input stellar library includes NLTE absorption profiles for
stars hotter than 25000 K and LTE profiles for lower temperatures. The
temperature and gravity coverage is 4000 K <Teff< 50000 K and 0.0< log g$< 5.0,
respectively.
The models can be used to date starburst and post-starburst galaxies until 1
Gyr. They have been tested on data for clusters in the LMC, the super-star
cluster B in the starburst galaxy NGC 1569, the nucleus of the dwarf elliptical
NGC 205 and a luminous "E+A" galaxy. The full data set is available for
retrieval at http://www.iaa.es/ae/e2.html and at

Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to . II. Stellar content of quiescent galaxies within the dust-corrected stellar masscolour and the colourcolour diagrams
Our aim is to determine the distribution of stellar population parameters
(extinction, age, metallicity, and star formation rate) of quiescent galaxies
within the rest-frame stellar masscolour and colourcolour diagrams
corrected for extinction up to . These novel diagrams reduce the
contamination in samples of quiescent galaxies owing to dust-reddened galaxies,
and they provide useful constraints on stellar population parameters. We set
constraints on the stellar population parameters of quiescent galaxies
combining the ALHAMBRA multi-filter photo-spectra with our SED-fitting code
MUFFIT, making use of composite stellar population models. The extinction
obtained by MUFFIT allowed us to remove dusty star-forming (DSF) galaxies from
the sample of red galaxies. The distributions of stellar population
parameters across these rest-frame diagrams are revealed after the dust
correction and are fitted by the LOESS method to reduce uncertainty effects.
Quiescent galaxy samples defined via classical diagrams are typically
contaminated by a % fraction of DSF galaxies. A significant part of the
galaxies in the green valley are actually obscured star-forming galaxies
(%). Consequently, the transition of galaxies from the blue cloud to
the red sequence, and hence the related mechanisms for quenching, seems to be
much more efficient and faster than previously reported. The rest-frame stellar
masscolour and colourcolour diagrams are useful for constraining
the age, metallicity, extinction, and star formation rate of quiescent galaxies
by only their redshift, rest-frame colours, and/or stellar mass. Dust
correction plays an important role in understanding how quiescent galaxies are
distributed in these diagrams and is key to performing a pure selection of
quiescent galaxies via intrinsic colours.Comment: (37 pages, 29 figures, accepted for publication in A&A
Fertilización de arranque en plantaciones de Populus spp. de la Pampa Húmeda: evaluación preliminar de las respuestas a lo largo de la rotación
Los macizos de álamos (Populus spp.) más importantes de la Pampa Húmeda están implantados en Argiudoles o Hapludoles de alta aptitud agronómica, cuyos parámetros generales de fertilidad los hacen muy adecuados para el cultivo (Achinelli et al., 2004). Sin embargo estos suelos presentan frecuentemente niveles bajos de macro y / o micronutrientes que pueden limitar el crecimiento de los álamos.
En este póster se sintetizan los resultados obtenidos con distintos ensayos y parcelas demostrativas de fertilización de arranque en álamos realizados desde 1998 a la fecha, y se discute el tipo, magnitud y duración de las respuestas a esta práctica durante la rotación forestal.Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y ForestalesInstituto de Fisiología Vegeta
Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to . I. MUFFIT: A Multi-Filter Fitting code for stellar population diagnostics
We present MUFFIT, a new generic code optimized to retrieve the main stellar
population parameters of galaxies in photometric multi-filter surveys, and we
check its reliability and feasibility with real galaxy data from the ALHAMBRA
survey. Making use of an error-weighted -test, we compare the
multi-filter fluxes of galaxies with the synthetic photometry of mixtures of
two single stellar populations at different redshifts and extinctions, to
provide through a Monte Carlo method the most likely range of stellar
population parameters (mainly ages and metallicities), extinctions, redshifts,
and stellar masses. To improve the diagnostic reliability, MUFFIT identifies
and removes from the analysis those bands that are significantly affected by
emission lines. We highlight that the retrieved age-metallicity locus for a
sample of early-type galaxies in ALHAMBRA at different stellar
mass bins are in very good agreement with the ones from SDSS spectroscopic
diagnostics. Moreover, a one-to-one comparison between the redshifts, ages,
metallicities, and stellar masses derived spectroscopically for SDSS and by
MUFFIT for ALHAMBRA reveals good qualitative agreements in all the parameters.
In addition, and using as input the results from photometric-redshift codes,
MUFFIT improves the photometric-redshift accuracy by -, and it
also detects nebular emissions in galaxies, providing physical information
about their strengths. Our results show the potential of multi-filter galaxy
data to conduct reliable stellar population studies with the appropiate
analysis techniques, as MUFFIT.Comment: 31 pages, 18 figures, accepted for publication in A&
The ALHAMBRA survey: Accurate merger fractions by PDF analysis of photometric close pairs
Our goal is to develop and test a novel methodology to compute accurate close
pair fractions with photometric redshifts. We improve the current methodologies
to estimate the merger fraction f_m from photometric redshifts by (i) using the
full probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the sources in redshift
space, (ii) including the variation in the luminosity of the sources with z in
both the selection of the samples and in the luminosity ratio constrain, and
(iii) splitting individual PDFs into red and blue spectral templates to deal
robustly with colour selections. We test the performance of our new methodology
with the PDFs provided by the ALHAMBRA photometric survey. The merger fractions
and rates from the ALHAMBRA survey are in excellent agreement with those from
spectroscopic work, both for the general population and for red and blue
galaxies. With the merger rate of bright (M_B <= -20 - 1.1z) galaxies evolving
as (1+z)^n, the power-law index n is larger for blue galaxies (n = 2.7 +- 0.5)
than for red galaxies (n = 1.3 +- 0.4), confirming previous results.
Integrating the merger rate over cosmic time, we find that the average number
of mergers per galaxy since z = 1 is N_m = 0.57 +- 0.05 for red galaxies and
N_m = 0.26 +- 0.02 for blue galaxies. Our new methodology exploits
statistically all the available information provided by photometric redshift
codes and provides accurate measurements of the merger fraction by close pairs
only using photometric redshifts. Current and future photometric surveys will
benefit of this new methodology.Comment: Submitted to A&A, 15 pages, 15 figures, 6 tables. Comments are
