Disolución de disputas legales en mediación familiar
.La mediación familiar es un método de resolución de conflictos que se extiende inexorablemente como una alternativa previa al litigio. Este proceso es lento debido a la concepción cultural del conflicto que existe en nuestra cultura y a disquisiciones corporativistas de los profesionales que desde diferentes contextos intervienen en el problema. Mientras tanto, miles de parejas continúan acudiendo a los juzgados en busca de una guerra segura. Desde una filosofía del consenso, se hace imprescindible ofrecer una oportunidad para el diálogo una vez iniciado el litigio. La mediación es posible y, como método, requiere un abordaje previo de las modificaciones en la estructura del conflicto propiciadas por la intervención legal contenciosa
Has a Higgs-flavon with a GeV mass been detected at the LHC13?
Higgs-flavon fields appear as a part of the Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism,
which attempts to explain the hierarchy of Yukawa couplings. We explore the
possibility that the 750 GeV diphoton resonance recently reported at the LHC13,
could be identified with a low-scale Higgs-flavon field and find the
region of the parameter space consistent with CMS and ATLAS data. It is found
that the extra vector-like fermions of the ultraviolet completion of the FN
mechanism are necessary in order to reproduce the observed signal. We consider
a standard model (SM) extension that contains two Higgs doublets (a standard
one and an inert one) and one complex FN singlet. The inert doublet includes a
stable neutral boson, which provides a viable dark matter candidate, while the
mixing of the standard doublet and the FN singlet induces flavor violation in
the Higgs sector at the tree-level. Constraints on the parameters of the model
are derived from the LHC Higgs data, which include the search for the lepton
flavor violating decay of the SM Higgs boson . It is also
found that in some region of the parameter space the model may give rise to a
large branching ratio for the decay, of the order of 0.1, which
could be searched for at the LHC.Comment: 18 pages, 7 Figures, includes updated files to match published

Detecting Hands in Egocentric Videos: Towards Action Recognition
Recently, there has been a growing interest in analyzing human daily
activities from data collected by wearable cameras. Since the hands are
involved in a vast set of daily tasks, detecting hands in egocentric images is
an important step towards the recognition of a variety of egocentric actions.
However, besides extreme illumination changes in egocentric images, hand
detection is not a trivial task because of the intrinsic large variability of
hand appearance. We propose a hand detector that exploits skin modeling for
fast hand proposal generation and Convolutional Neural Networks for hand
recognition. We tested our method on UNIGE-HANDS dataset and we showed that the
proposed approach achieves competitive hand detection results
REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE PACIFIC ALLIANCE COUNTRIES ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INCOME INEQUALITY AND SOCIAL CAPITAL
Social capital is considered a productive resource for societies. The increase in social trust is usually related to both economic growth and a reduction in inequality. In Latin American countries, and particularly the economies that belong to the Pacific Alliance, the relationship between social capital and income inequalities has not been studied at regional level. The paper aims to analyze whether social capital impacts income inequality in the case of the Pacific Alliance regions. Dynamic panel data models were used, covering 72 regions during the period 2002-2011. The results show that the decline in generalized trust and congress trust impacts negatively income inequality, while government trust, police trust and company trust have not effect
Wildlife Diversity and Relative Abundance Among a Variety of Adjacent Protected Areas in the Northern Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica
Protected areas are intended to achieve the long-term conservation of nature, but not all such areas are equal in their effectiveness because of their varying regulation of human activities. In Costa Rica, we assessed mammal and bird species presence and relative abundance in three protected areas in the northern Talamanca Mountains. In this humid tropical forest area, we placed camera traps in an adjacent national park, forest reserve, and indigenous territories, each with a different mix of human activities. In 10,120 trap nights, we obtained 6181 independent photos of mostly mammals (34 species other than humans) and birds (34 species). Species with greater abundance or only occurrence in the national park were mammals and birds commonly hunted outside of the park, large carnivores rarely documented in other areas, and poachers. Species found more often outside of the park were medium-sized mammals, some birds, and domestic mammals. We conclude that even in the same ecological area, varying regulations related to type of protected area have significant effects on some mammal and bird species abundances and occurrences, and thus need to be considered when assessing the overall effectiveness of protection as a conservation strategy
Introduction: latest advancements in audiovisual translation education
The consumption of audiovisual content, from the more traditional animations, documentaries, movies, and TV shows to the more recent online user-generated content found on social media platforms, including video games, has grown exponentially over the last few decades. The omnipresence of screens in society has led to transformations in audiences’ watching habits, now impatient to enjoy their programmes as soon as possible and inclined to binge watch. Recent technological advances in the production of specialist audiovisual translation (AVT) software and web-based applications have paved the way for further changes and enhancements in the ways professionals localise audiovisual content and in the nature of the services provided. This special issue sheds light on the current teaching and learning practices, methodologies and issues encountered by translator trainers specialised in AVT, with particular emphasis on pedagogical innovation, media accessibility, and translation technology
Subtitlers on the Cloud: The Use of Professional Web-based Systems in Subtitling Practice and Training
The bourgeoning and rapid evolution of cloud-based
applications has triggered profound transformations
in the audiovisual translation (AVT) mediascape. By
drawing attention to the major changes that webbased ecosystems have introduced in localisation
workflows, we set out to outline ways in which these
new technological advances can be embedded in the
AVT classroom. Along these lines, the present study
sets out to explore the potential benefits of cloud
platforms in AVT training curricula by exploring ways
in which this technology can be exploited in subtitling
training. An analysis of current subtitling practices
and tools, localisation workflows, and in-demand
skills in the AVT industry will be followed by an
experience-based account on the use of cloud-based
platforms in subtitler training environments to
simulate and carry out a wide range of tasks. Our
study pivots around the idea that cloud subtitling
might prove useful to bridge the technological gap
between academic institutions and the profession as
well as to enhance the distance-learning provision of
practice-oriented training in subtitling
