Tejiendo vida y memoria

El presente trabajo es resultado de la sistematización del proceso de acompañamiento psicosocial en el marco del proyecto Costurero de la Memoria: Kilómetros de Vida y de Memoria , y se orientó a indagar cómo este proceso contribuyó a que las participantes del espacio pudieran resignificar su experiencia de ser víctimas de la violencia sociopolítica y/o del conflicto armado, en nuestro país. Es una investigación cualitativa, de carácter inductivo, dado que a partir del proceso de sistematización de la experiencia, de lo socializado en talleres y actividades realizadas, se fue identificando una serie de indicadores, que permitieron formular de forma progresiva las categorías de análisis, a saber: potencial terapéutico, redes de apoyo y afrontamiento. A partir de esta identificación preliminar se indagó por referentes teóricos que fortalecieran las mencionadas categorías de análisis. Seguido a esto, con el fin de profundizar en la experiencia, se realizó una entrevista semiestructurada a tres mujeres participantes con edades entre los 45 y los 65 años. Por otro lado, se utilizaron medios visuales y audiovisuales para enriquecer el proceso de sistematización de la experiencia."The work shown here is the result of the systemized process of social and psychological support in the frame of the project entitled ""Sewing box of memories: kilometers of life and memory"". Then oriented to inquire on how this process contributed to the participants, allowing them to find new meaning to their experiences as victims of social and political violence result of the conflict in our country. It is a qualitative research of inductive nature un which the proyect systemized experience and started adding the social interaction carried out in sessions and activities. A series of indicators were identified, which enable to formulate in the progressive manner the main cathegories of analysis such as: therapeutic potential, supporting networks and coping estrategies. Once we identified the cathegories of analysis, in order to enhance ofstrengthen more theoric references were inquired. Follow to this, in order to deepen the experience, an interview was performed to three female participants between the ages of 45 and 65 years old. On the other hand the use of audio and video was applied to enrich the process of systemized experience."Psicólogo (a)Pregrad

Male reproductive skew in multimale social groups of Verreaux’s Sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) at Kirindy Mitea National Park, Madagascar

In many non-human primates living in multimale groups, reproductive success among males is usually skewed towards dominant individuals. Models of reproductive skew have proposed that dominant males’ reproductive success depends on their ability to monopolize female reproduction. These models predict that female monopolization by males depends on the number of receptive females that can be monitored by the dominant male and the number of males in the group that might constitute competitors for access to females. However, female reproductive strategies might hinder dominant males’ monopolization of matings and provide reproductive opportunities to non-dominant and extra-group males. In this study, we explored male reproductive skew in a population of Verreaux’s sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) living in Kirindy Mitea National Park, Madagascar. Using genetic data, we analyzed maternity paternity for 32 individuals born in five different social groups between 2007 and 2012, and examined whether the distribution of paternity was influenced by demographic variables or social factors such as the number of males, the number of females, male dominance rank, and male tenure. We successfully assigned maternity and paternity to 28 and 27 individuals, respectively, and found that 85% of offspring we born to either the single male resident in the group at the time of conception or to the resident dominant male in multimale groups. Although in groups with more than one resident male the dominant male sired 71% of offspring, this result was not significantly different from an even distribution of paternities among dominant and subordinates. In general, male reproductive skew in our study population is not significantly biased towards males either that are more dominant or that have had longer tenure in the group. Although dominant males in multimale groups were unable to completely monopolize female matings, subordinates’ reproductive success did not increase when more females were present in the group, contradicting previous models of male reproductive skew. Our study suggests that in this female-dominant species, females’ mating decisions may play an important role in paternity distribution due to the nature of dominance relationships that prevents males from monopolizing and controlling female reproduction entirely.Anthropolog

Expresión de la Sexualidad y Afectividad de un Hombre con VIH en Relaciones Serodiscrodantes

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo describir la expresión de la sexualidad y afectividad de un hombre con VIH en relaciones serodiscordantes. Método: Esta investigación empleó un enfoque de corte cualitativo con diseño biográfico- narrativo. La muestra estuvo conformada por un sujeto masculino de 23 años, orientación homosexual y con diagnostico VIH positivo. La técnica de recolección de datos fue a través de una entrevista semiestructurada, donde se sistematizó por medio del programa Software Atlas Ti. Resultados: Fue posible evidenciar cambios significativos en la vivencia de la sexualidad y la afectividad del participante después de conocer su diagnóstico. La concepción de relaciones sentimentales y las expectativas en estas, cambian de acuerdo a lo que espera en ellas. El participante muestra claridad sobre el antes y el después del virus y el impacto de este en su forma de relacionarse
