REPRESENTACIONES SOCIALES SOBRE “MUJER” EN MIEMBROS DE PAREJAS HETEROSEXUALES VIOLENTAS Y NO VIOLENTAS, SEGÚN ESTRATO SOCIOECONÓMICO, EDAD Y RELIGIÓN.

This article presents the description of the different social representations of "woman" on members of violent and non-violent heterosexual couples and their impact on the occurrence of episodes of violence against women in relationships. The sample consisted of 400 heterosexual subjects over 18 years, belonging to a ratio of violent or non-violent city of Barranquilla, Colombia, according to factors such as socioeconomic status, age, and religion. The results initially allowed to describe what are the social representations of women members of violent and non-violent heterosexual couples and establish that there is indeed a direct impact between social representations that are the subject of women and the appearance or not, cases of intimate partner violence against women, considering that according to what was observed in the groups of subjects pertaining to relations violent and nonviolent couples, such representations prevail upon her to act in relationships.Este estudio presenta la descripción de las diferentes representaciones sociales sobre “mujer” que tienen los miembros de parejas heterosexuales violentas y no violentas y su incidencia en la aparición de episodios de violencia hacia la mujer en las relaciones de pareja. La muestra estuvo conformada por 400 sujetos heterosexuales mayores de 18 años, quienes conforman una relación de pareja violenta o no violenta de la ciudad de Barranquilla, Colombia, según factores como el estrato socioeconómico, la edad, y la religión. Los resultados permitieron inicialmente describir cuales son las representaciones sociales sobre mujer en miembros de parejas heterosexuales violentas y no violentas y a su vez, establecer que en efecto existe una incidencia directa entre las representaciones sociales que tengan los sujetos sobre mujer y la aparición o no, de casos de violencia de pareja hacia la mujer, considerando que de acuerdo a lo observado, en los grupos de sujetos pertenecientes a relaciones de pareja violentas y no violentas, priman dichas representaciones al momento de su actuar en las relaciones de pareja

¿Un sistema educativo comprensivo?

Any good educational system tries to keep the maximum number of students in the educational system for as long as possible, where he or she will receive a quality education which will prepare him or her for higher education and the labour market. In other words, they fight for a comprehensive educational system. The LOMCE is going to achieve the complete opposite. We shall analyze this more deeply in the following paragraphs. Keywords: Vocational training, higher vocational training, educational method, scholar evaluation, exam, income test, scholar dropout, basic education, secondary education, postsecondary education, higher education, private school, public school.Ningún sistema educativo intenta mantener el máximo número de estudiantes en el sistema educativo durante el mayor tiempo posible, donde el o ella recibirá una educación de calidad la cual los preparará para la educación superior y el mercado laboral. En otras palabras, ellos luchan por un sistema educativo comprensivo. La LOMCE va a lograr todo lo contrario. Nosotros analizaremos esto más profundamente en los siguientes párrafos.ReiDoCrea.

Starburst galaxies in the COSMOS field : clumpy star-formation at redshift 0 < z <0.5

This work has been funded by the Spanish MINECO, Grant ESTALLIDOS, AYA2013-47742-C4-2P and AYA2010-21887-C04-04. J.M.A. acknowledges support from the European Research Council Starting Grant SEDMorph (P.I. V. Wild). R.H.G. acknowledges the FPI grant from MINECO within ESTALLIDOS project.Context. At high redshift, starburst galaxies present irregular morphologies with 10-20% of their star formation occurring in giant clumps. These clumpy galaxies are considered the progenitors of local disk galaxies. To understand the properties of starbursts at intermediate and low redshift, it is fundamental to track their evolution and the possible link with the systems at higher z. Aims. We present an extensive, systematic, and multiband search and analysis of the starburst galaxies at redshift (0 1010. We classify galaxies into three main types, depending on their HST morphology: single knot (Sknot), single star-forming knot plus diffuse light (Sknot+diffuse), and multiple star-forming knots (Mknots/clumpy) galaxy. We found a fraction of Mknots/clumpy galaxy fclumpy = 0.24 considering out total sample of starburst galaxies up to z ∼ 0.5. The individual star-forming knots in our sample follows the same L(Hα) vs. size scaling relation as local giant HII regions. However, they slightly differ from the one provided using samples at high redshift. This result highlights the importance of spatially resolving the star-forming regions for this kind of study. Star-forming clumps in the central regions of Mknots galaxies are more massive, and present higher star formation rates, than those in the outskirts. This trend is less clear when we consider either the mass surface density or surface star formation rate. Sknot galaxies do show properties similar to both dwarf elliptical and irregulars in the surface brightness (μ) versus Mhost diagram in the B-band, and to spheroidals and ellipticals in the μ versus Mhost diagram in the V-band. Conclusions. The properties of our star-forming knots in Sknot+diffuse and Mknots/clumpy galaxies support the predictions of recent numerical simulations claiming that they have been produced by violent disk instabilities. We suggest that the evolution of these knots means that large and massive clumps at the galaxy centers represent the end product of the coalescence of surviving smaller clumps from the outskirts. Our results support this mechanism and make it unlikely that mergers are the reason behind the observed starburst knots. Sknot galaxies might be transitional phases of the Blue Compact Dwarfs (BCD) class, with their properties consistent with spheroidal-like, but blue structures.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

Hacia un modelo de análisis de políticas públicas operativ : Un enfoque basado en los actores, sus recursos y las instituciones

Towards an operative analysis of public policies: An approach focused on actors, resources and institutions. This article develops an analytical model which is centred on the individual and collective behaviour of actors involved during different stages of public policy. We postulate that the content and institutional characteristics of public action (dependent variable) are the result of interactions between political-administrative authorities, on the one hand, and, on the other, social groups which cause or suffer the negative effects of a collective problem which public action attempts to resolve (independent variables). The 'game' of the actors depends not only on their particular interests, but also on their resources (money, time, consensus, organization, rights, infrastructure, information, personnel, strength, political support) which they are able to exploit to defend their positions, as well as on the institutional rules which frame these policy games
