Feminización de la dependencia : reflexiones sobre el sistema para la autonomía y la atención a personas en situación de dependencia = Feminisation of dependence : reflections on autonomy and assistance to dependent people
El sistema nacional para la autonomía y atención a la dependencia en España, va a tener una importante repercusión política, jurídica, social y económica en la sociedad. La política social española abona una gran deuda hacia las personas en situación de dependencia y al mismo tiempo trata de resolver situaciones problemáticas que se generan en base a los profundos cambios sociales, en cuyo eje de equilibrio se encuentran las mujeres. En este artículo se ofrece una mirada al sistema desde la perspectiva de las mujeres, por su vinculación cuantitativa y cualitativa al mismo.The national system for autonomy and attention to dependence in Spain will have an important political, legal, social and economic repercussion in society. Spanish social policy pays a great debt towards dependent people as it tries to solve problematic situations that are generated on the basis of deep social changes at the core of which there is the role of women. In this essay I offer a female glimpse into the system, due to women’s quantitative and qualitative relation to it
Cuestiones de género en centros residenciales y de día para personas con discapacidad intelectual en Andalucía. Reflexiones desde el trabajo social
Al analizar los procesos de intervención de trabajadores/as sociales con personas con discapacidad intelectual en centros residenciales y de día de Andalucía, se ha comprobado que las cuestiones de género pueden explicar, por una parte, la invisibilidad científica de disciplinas con importante impacto en la intervención con personas en situación de vulnerabilidad social y por otra, la diferencia de trato en la intervención con personas con discapacidad intelectual en centros, un entorno institucional eminentemente feminizado. En nuestra investigación, mediante un marco conceptual interpretativo de lógica ascendente y una metodología cualitativa bajo los supuestos generales de la “Grounded Theory”, se ha incorporado la perspectiva de género, lo que nos ha permitido hacer visible, desde la reflexión de los/as profesionales, que los procesos de Trabajo Social se integran en un sector feminizado que no tiene asumida la perspectiva de género y donde la discriminación de la profesión se explica por el trasvase de modelos de cuidado patriarcal a la intervención; del mismo modo, la discriminación hacia las mujeres con discapacidad intelectual se explica en la repetición de roles patriarcales tanto en la distribución de tareas en los centros como en actitudes de las familias que obstaculizan la participación de las mujeres en diversos contextos

Encoding Specific 3D Polyhedral Complexes Using 3D Binary Images
We build upon the work developed in [4] in which we presented
a method to “locally repair” the cubical complex Q(I) associated
to a 3D binary image I, to obtain a “well-composed” polyhedral complex
P(I), homotopy equivalent to Q(I). There, we developed a new codification
system for P(I), called ExtendedCubeMap (ECM) representation,
that encodes: (1) the (geometric) information of the cells of P(I) (i.e.,
which cells are presented and where), under the form of a 3D grayscale
image gP ; (2) the boundary face relations between the cells of P(I),
under the form of a set BP of structuring elements.
In this paper, we simplify ECM representations, proving that geometric
and topological information of cells can be encoded using just a 3D
binary image, without the need of using colors or sets of structuring
elements. We also outline a possible application in which well-composed
polyhedral complexes can be useful.Junta de Andalucía FQM-369Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MTM2012-32706Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MTM2015-67072-
Efficiently Storing Well-Composed Polyhedral Complexes Computed Over 3D Binary Images
A 3D binary image I can be naturally represented
by a combinatorial-algebraic structure called cubical complex
and denoted by Q(I ), whose basic building blocks are
vertices, edges, square faces and cubes. In Gonzalez-Diaz
et al. (Discret Appl Math 183:59–77, 2015), we presented a
method to “locally repair” Q(I ) to obtain a polyhedral complex
P(I ) (whose basic building blocks are vertices, edges,
specific polygons and polyhedra), homotopy equivalent to
Q(I ), satisfying that its boundary surface is a 2D manifold.
P(I ) is called a well-composed polyhedral complex over the
picture I . Besides, we developed a new codification system
for P(I ), encoding geometric information of the cells
of P(I ) under the form of a 3D grayscale image, and the
boundary face relations of the cells of P(I ) under the form
of a set of structuring elements. In this paper, we build upon
(Gonzalez-Diaz et al. 2015) and prove that, to retrieve topological
and geometric information of P(I ), it is enough to
store just one 3D point per polyhedron and hence neither
grayscale image nor set of structuring elements are needed.
From this “minimal” codification of P(I ), we finally present
a method to compute the 2-cells in the boundary surface of
P(I ).Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MTM2015-67072-
Spatiotemporal Barcodes for Image Sequence Analysis
Taking as input a time-varying sequence of two-dimensional
(2D) binary images, we develop an algorithm for computing a spatiotemporal
0–barcode encoding lifetime of connected components on the image
sequence over time. This information may not coincide with the one provided
by the 0–barcode encoding the 0–persistent homology, since the
latter does not respect the principle that it is not possible to move backwards
in time. A cell complex K is computed from the given sequence,
being the cells of K classified as spatial or temporal depending on whether
they connect two consecutive frames or not. A spatiotemporal path is
defined as a sequence of edges of K forming a path such that two edges
of the path cannot connect the same two consecutive frames. In our
algorithm, for each vertex v ∈ K, a spatiotemporal path from v to the
“oldest” spatiotemporally-connected vertex is computed and the corresponding
spatiotemporal 0–bar is added to the spatiotemporal 0–barcode.Junta de Andalucía FQM-369Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MTM2012-3270
Integrated Management of Fusarium Wilt Diseases
The integrated management concept is one of the fundamental paradigms that have emerged in crop protection in the last 50 yrs and yet a matter for legislation as exemplified by the European Union that recently has establishes the integrated management as the fundamental procedure for the management of crop diseases, pests and weeds. However, the integrated management is not a panacea for the control of plant diseases. It is an ecology-based approach aiming minimizing damage caused by diseases through ‘the combined use of all available disease control measures, either simultaneously or in a sequence, through actions taken prior and after establishing the crop’. In this chapter, we propose and develop a strategy for the integrated management for Fusarium wilts, one of the most devastating and challenging type of diseases impairing agricultural production worldwide,, based on the: (i) use of pathogen-free planting material; (ii) site selection to avoid planting into high risk soils; (iii) reduction or elimination of F. oxysporum inoculum in soil; (iv) use of biocontrol agents for protection of healthy planting material from infection by resident or incoming inoculum subsequent to planting; (v) use of resistant cultivars regardless the level of resistance; and (vi) choice of cropping practices to avoid conditions favouring infection of the plant. The integrated management of Fusarium wilt diseases is difficult because complexities of target pathosystems are overlaid on the inherent complexities of the management strategy itself. Much research is still needed on population biology and genetic diversity in Fusarium wilt pathogens, disease risk prediction, disease-incidence-yield losses relationships, biological control, biotechnological breeding for disease resistance. On top of difficulties pointed out above, the practice of integrated management requires involvement of well-trained professional plant pathologists able to implement the tenets of the concept at the local level, as well as to incorporate into decision-making framework new knowledge and technologies that may be developed from scientific research. As the demand has increased for knowledgeable practitioners capable of integrating multifaceted controls in rigorous IDM programs, institutional support has declined through declining or even vanishing University education in Plant Pathology and the loss of extension-related activities in commercial agriculture. Erosion at the top of the trickle-down structure responsible for knowledge transfer to the field is one of the most serious threats to IDM
Inteligencia emocional, Resiliencia y Autoestima en personas con discapacidad física y sin discapacidad
Introduction: Emotional intelligence, resilience and self-esteem are concepts related to personal development. People who have physical disabilities, the perception of the different situations that have to face may influence emotions and behavior.Objective: Analyze the differences or similarities between people with disabilities and without disabilities in the field of emotional intelligence, resilience and self-esteem.Methodology: Type descriptive, transversal and prospective, quantitative study using the scales of the emotional intelligence TMMS-24, the scale of the Resilience CD-RISC10 and the scale of the Rosenberg self-esteem, with a total of 100 participants.Results: Persons with physical disabilities present mean statistically higher on emotional intelligence and resilience, although regarding self-esteem people without disabilities have an upper mean.Discussion: Different authors have shown that emotions play a fundamental role in the well-being of individuals. In the case of diseases that involve physical disability, affect different aspects of the life of people, therefore even good emotional management is necessary most to avoid that the person may suffer greater consequences physical and/or emotional.Findings: Persons with physical disability have adequate levels of emotional intelligence in its different dimensions, developing coping strategies that enable them to cope with such difficulties. The self-esteem of people with physical disabilities is weakened by the low perception of independent control.Introducción: La Inteligencia emocional, resiliencia y autoestima son conceptos relacionados con el desarrollo personal. Las personas que presentan discapacidad física, la percepción de las diferentes situaciones a las que tienen que enfrentarse pueden influir en sus emociones y comportamiento.Objetivo: Analizar las diferencias o similitudes entre las personas con discapacidad y sin discapacidad en el ámbito de la inteligencia emocional, la resiliencia y la autoestima. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, transversal, y prospectivo, utilizando las escalas de la Inteligencia emocional TMMS-24, la escala de la Resiliencia CD-RISC10 y la escala de la autoestima de Rosemberg, con un total de 100 participantes. Resultados: Las personas con discapacidad física presentan medias estadísticamente superiores en inteligencia emocional y resiliencia, aunque en autoestima las personas sin discapacidad presentan medias superiores. Discusión: Distintos autores ponen de manifiesto que las emociones juegan un papel fundamental en el bienestar de los individuos. En el caso de las enfermedades que implican discapacidad física, afectan a los diferentes aspectos de la vida de las personas, por lo tanto se hace más necesario aún el buen manejo emocional para evitar que la persona sufra mayores consecuencias físicas y/o emocionales. Conclusiones: Las personas con discapacidad física presentan unos niveles adecuados de inteligencia emocional en sus diferentes dimensiones, desarrollando estrategias de afrontamiento que les permiten hacer frente a dichas dificultades. La autoestima de las personas con discapacidad física, se ve mermada por la baja percepción de control independiente
Socioscientific issues: topics and importance to the scientific education
Las controversias socio-científicas surgen y nos rodean en los temas más actuales y emergentes de nuestra
sociedad: transgénicos, homeopatía, impacto de las telefonías, etc. Por eso creemos importante exponer en qué
consiste una controversia socio-científica, estudiar la relación entre las temáticas de controversias que aparecen
en prensa y en la literatura didáctica así como si es posible el uso de estas controversias en el contexto escolar. La
imagen consensuada con la que suelen aparecer las noticias científicas en los medios de comunicación va a
dificultar su utilización en el aula. Del análisis documental de la literatura didáctica, hemos podido seleccionar
actividades que utilizan controversias y que pueden ser usadas como modelo para utilizar las controversias en el
aula de ciencias y desarrollar distintas finalidades en el alumnado: alfabetización científica, pensamiento crítico,
fomento de la cultura científica, etc.Socioscientific debates arise and become widespread concerning the most popular and innovative issues in our
society: transgenics, homeopathy, the impact of mobile phone network and so on. For this reason we believe it is
important to analyse the meaning of these debates and the relationship between information processing in
newspapers and teaching literature and to determine their possible use in a school context. The common image
of scientific news that tends to appear in the media hampers its use in the classroom. On analysing didactic
literature, we have selected activities that can be used as a model to plan debates in the science classroom with
the objective of developing a series of capacities in students related to scientific literacy, critical thinking and the
promotion of a scientific culture
A glimpse behind closed doors. Alfred L. Kroeber and the representation of native Californian music.
This article looks into the early twentieth century history of anthropological approaches to the study of music. Specifically, it delves into Alfred L. Kroeber’s work on Native Californian cultures. It inquires into why Kroeber did not include music in his anthropological publications, despite collecting and analysing Native Californian music in private
