    Chiral asymmetry during the EWPT from CP-violating scattering off bubble walls

    Full text link
    We compute a net electric current during a first order EWPT arising from the asymmetric propagation of fermion chiral modes due to a CP-violating interaction with the Higgs. The interaction is quantified in terms of a CP-violating phase in the bubble wall that separate both false and true vacuum phases. We comment on the possibility of this current to generate a seed magnetic field and its implications for primordial magne- togenesis in the early Universe.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of the XLVII of the International Symposium of Multiparticle Dynamics, Tlaxcala, Mexico, September 10-15, 201

    This research is of ethnographic nature, focusing on the study of the Ñuu Savi people (people of the rain), also called the Mixtec people, of pre-Columbian origin belonging to the Mixteca Region of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. On the basis of sociocultural theory and the theory of the diffusion and adoption of technological innovations, the study on the cultural identity of the ethnolinguistic group, whose social platform is the “uses and customs,” is carried out. As a result of this research, the descriptive analysis is presented, detailing the effect of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the situation of the vulnerable and disadvantaged group. Likewise, cultural elements have been identified that allow the formulation of a model for the development and inclusion of the ethnic minority. An educational strategy is designed and implemented through the model. However, in the process of implementing the educational strategy, it was observed that the Ñuu Savi people experience a conjunctural stage where technological adoption coexists with some beliefs, aptitudes, and attitudes, characteristic of its form of government of “uses and customs,” which create sociocultural barriers that make social and digital inclusion difficult

    How to establish and maintain dietary habits focusing on good health over time?

    Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido ver el grado de correspondencia de los hábitos alimentarios de un grupo de estudiantes de Enfermería con los conocimientos adquiridos de nutrición y dietética. Método: Se utilizó un cuestionario semicuantitativo de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos, on line y autocumplimentable, que llegó a los estudiantes por mail con una carta de presentación, explicando los motivos de la encuesta alimentaria y garantizando el anonimato. El análisis del cuestionario fue realizado comparando los datos obtenidos con las raciones diarias recomendadas para la población española. Se utilizó el programa SPSS 12.0 para Windows (2003). Resultados: El consumo semanal de alimentos era inferior a lo recomendado excepto en el caso de los embutidos y snakcs, que se ingieren regularmente. Lo mismo ocurre con los alimentos de consumo diario, cuya ingestión era inferior a las recomendaciones nutricionales. Discusión y conclusiones: Los hábitos alimentarios de los jóvenes estudiados pueden considerarse aceptables, en un contexto en el que la dieta mediterránea ha sido ligeramente modificada para adaptarse a los nuevos estilos de vida. Si bien, se detectan errores como tomar semanalmente productos de consumo ocasional; fallos que no deberían producirse ya que el estudio se realiza sobre una muestra de individuos con conocimientos en nutrición. Esto sugiere que la adquisición de conocimientos no determina la adopción de ciertos hábitos saludables, y por ello la educación nutricional y en general de la salud, tendría que centrarse en otros métodos que no incluyan como única técnica el aporte de informaciónObjective: The objective of this project has been to analyze the degree of correspondence between the eating habits of nursing students and the knowledge of nutrition and dietetics. Methods: A semicuantitative, on-line and self-completion survey of food frequency consumption was sentto the students by email with a presentation letter, explaining the reasons of the food survey and guaranteeing the anonymity. The analysis of the survey was performed comparing these data with the daily recommended food portions for the Spanish population. For this purpose, the program SPSS 12.0 for Windows (2003) was used. Results: The weekly intake of food was lower than the recommended servings, except for the snacks and cold meat which are eaten more frequently. In the same manner, the consume of daily intake food was lower than the nutritional recommendations. Discussion and conclusion: In a context where the Mediterranean diet has been slightly modified to adapt to new lifestyles, eating habits of young students could be considered acceptable. Despite the fact that the study was carried out with a sample consisting of people with nutritional knowledge, diet mistakes were detected like the weekly consume of products of occasional intake. This suggests that the acquisition of nutritional knowledge does not determine the adoption of certain healthy habits, therefore nutritional education and health related education in general should concentrate in different methods that don't include the intake of information as the only theor

    The taming of the duel: masculinity, honour and ritual violence in London, 1660–1800

    Get PDF
    Over the course of the ‘long’ eighteenth century the nature and significance of duels fought in the London area changed dramatically. Pistols replaced swords, seconds took on a new role as mediators, and new conventions reduced the violence. Consequently, injuries and fatalities decreased significantly. The purpose of fighting duels also shifted from the defeat of one's antagonist to a demonstration of courage. Although duels continued to occur, growing opposition meant that the audience of people who supported duelling became increasingly limited and duels took place in places far from public view. At the same time, both the press and the courts provided alternative strategies for defending reputations. These changes cannot be attributed to technological developments, official attempts to prevent duelling, or the embourgeoisement of the duel. Rather, they resulted from a series of interlinked cultural changes, including an increasing intolerance of violence, new internalized understandings of elite honour, and the adoption of ‘polite’ and sentimental norms governing masculine conduct. These eighteenth-century changes shed new light on the reasons for the final end of duelling in England in 1852
