Preliminary Results from the 96 Spanish Bottom Trawl Survey in the NAFO Regulatory Area for Divisions 3NO

As the last year a stratified-random bottom trawl survey was performed in NAFO Regulatory Area (Divisions 3NO) during May: 7th to 24th. The survey, wich covered offshore areas of the Grand Bank, was conducted following the sames procedures and the same vessel and gear of the 1995 survey (Paz, et al, 1995). The area and strata to be covered by the survey were based on the stratification charts and tables in Bishop (1994)

Preliminary Results from the 1997 Bottom Trawl Survey in the NAFO Regulatory Area for Divisions 3NO

As the previous years, a stratified-random bottom trawl survey was performed in NAFO Regulatory area (Division 3NO) during 26th April to 17th May. The survey, which covered offshore areas on the Grand Bank, was conducted following the same procedures and the same vessel and gear of the 1995 and 1996 surveys (Paz et al. 1995; 1996). The area and the strata to be covered by the survey were based on the stratification charts and tables in Bishop (1994)

Discapacidad intelectual y violencia de género: programa integral de intervención

In general, all people with intellectual disabilities have difficulties to exercise their civil and social rights. Within this deficit of citizenship, women with intellectual disabilities suffer triple discrimination: as a woman, because of her disability and because this is an intellectual disability. In this paper we present a comprehensive intervention program that aims to address three specific needs: the fight against abuse and violence, the support for women with intellectual disabilities who are mothers and the promotion of employment as a tool for empowerment. This paper addresses each of the above issues: fight against abuse, support for mothers and employment promotion. The tools discussed to address these objectives are different in each case but contain two common features which are essential to ensure positive results. From one side, training and information for women with intellectual disabilities in all these matters especially the need to raise awareness in the whole society in order to promote their full inclusion. Thanks to the comprehensive intervention program, a greatest impact to the situation of exclusion and discrimination against women with intellectual disabilities has been given. A total of 311 people with disabilities are been trained in how to identify and deal with situations of abuse and violence; there is a greater awareness in groups involved in the care of victims; a total of 17 women have received specialized support contributing to the improvement of the family’s quality of life. On the other hand, the supported employment as a key tool for personal autonomy, allowing 8 women to be included in the labor market. Access to opportunities is the main objective of this program. To this end, specific and individualized work to each woman needs is the key to ensure we are providing the required support. Currently, there are more women with intellectual disabilities who are trained and they would identify an abusive situation. Mothers with disabilities have a support network that allows them to raise her children in a standardized environment, and the results affect both the mother's self-esteem and the children development. Finally, women with disabilities do not remain as a dependent and carer figure and seek their place in society through employment.ResumenEn general, todas las personas con discapacidad intelectual tienen dificultades para el ejercicio y disfrute de sus derechos tanto civiles como sociales. Dentro de este déficit de ciudadanía, las mujeres con discapacidad intelectual sufren una triple discriminación: por ser mujer, por tener discapacidad y por ser esta intelectual. Dentro de este trabajo se presenta un programa integral de intervención que pretende dar respuesta a tres necesidades específicas: la lucha contra el abuso y la violencia; el apoyo a mujeres con discapacidad intelectual que son madres y el fomento del empleo como herramienta para el empoderamiento. Este documento aborda cada una de las necesidades citadas: lucha contra el abuso, apoyo a madres y fomento del empleo. Las herramientas analizadas para atender estos objetivos son diferentes en cada caso pero contienen dos aspectos comunes fundamentales para garantizar resultados positivos: de un lado la formación y la información de las mujeres con discapacidad intelectual en todas estas cuestiones y sobre todo la necesidad de sensibilizar al conjunto de la sociedad para favorecer su inclusión plena. Gracias al programa integral de intervención se ha dado mayor repercusión a la situación de exclusión y discriminación de las mujeres con discapacidad intelectual. Se ha formado a un total de 311 personas con discapacidad en identificar y saber cómo actuar ante situaciones de abuso y violencia, hay una mayor sensibilización en colectivos implicados en la atención a víctimas; se ha dado un apoyo especializado a un total de 17 madres que ha contribuido en la mejora de la calidad de vida del núcleo familiar. Por último, el apoyo en el empleo como herramienta clave para la autonomía personal y que ha permitido la inclusión al mundo laboral de 8 mujeres. El acceso a las oportunidades es el objetivo principal de este programa. Para ello, el trabajo individualizado y específico a las necesidades de cada mujer, es la clave para asegurarnos que estamos ofreciendo el apoyo necesario. Actualmente, hay un mayor número de mujeres con discapacidad intelectual que están formadas y sabrían identificar cuando están sufriendo una situación de abuso. Las madres con discapacidad cuentan con una red de apoyo que les permite poder sacar adelante a sus hijos en un entorno normalizado y donde los resultados repercuten tanto en la autoestima de la madre como en el desarrollo de los niños. Por último, la mujer con discapacidad deja de ser una figura dependiente y cuidadora y busca su espacio en la sociedad a través del empleoAbstractIn general, all people with intellectual disabilities have difficulties to exercise their civil and social rights. Within this deficit of citizenship, women with intellectual disabilities suffer triple discrimination: as a woman, because of her disability and because this is an intellectual disability.

La expresión artística como estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo de la afectividad y la autoestima en una persona con Discapacidad Intelectual y Síndrome Alcohólico Fetal (SAF)

Este artículo describe las experiencias artísticas de una persona con Discapacidad Intelectual y Síndrome Alcohólico Fetal (SAF) en un taller de artes visuales realizados en dependencias de un establecimiento de Educación Municipal de la comuna de Yungay, Chile. A partir de la investigación exploratoria, la metodología de estudio de caso y la aproximación de los resultados por medio de diferentes técnicas de pintura y dibujo como herramientas didácticas para desarrollar los aprendizajes artísticos en el contexto escolar, se concluye que las artes visuales amplían los canales de la expresión visual y permite la comunicación subjetiva de la afectividad y la autoestima a partir de determinados ejercicios prácticos y actividades sistemáticas que benefician la salud mental de las personas con Discapacidad Intelectual. La conclusión también refuerza la importancia de un ambiente propicio para la enseñanza de la Educación Artística y la valoración de la actividad creadora en el marco de la diversidad, el autodescubrimiento y una inclusión más afectiva con la comunidad educativa en general.</p

Decadal variability 2010-2021 of zooplankton community at the Guadalquivir estuary (southern Spain)

A Long Term Ecological Research Program has been monitoring the Guadalquivir estuary meso- and macro- zooplankton community monthly since January 2010. As an important nursery area for many marine species (fish and crustacean) from the Gulf of Cadiz, whose juveniles and recruits depend on zooplankton as main prey, understanding how abiotic and biotic factors determine zooplankton community structure it´s necessary to unreveal recruitment variability. We sampled throughout the whole salinity gradient, 2 locations, the two diurnal ebb and flood tides during the new moon days using a 100 μm zooplankton net. Zooplankton community is mainly composed by copepods and mysids. While the exotic Acartia tonsa calanoid copepod is the most abundant specie by abundance, mysid Mesopodopsis slabberi contribute the most to total biomass, followed by mysids Rhopalophthalmus tartessicus and Neomysis integer. Other abundant groups were copepods Acartia bifilosa and Acartia clausii, Calanipeda aquaedulcis, Paracalanus parvus and Acanthocyclops robustus, cladocera Pleopis polyphaemoides, together with veliger larvae, Cirripeda and Ostracoda, and Decapoda larvae. About total biodiversity, we found up to 183 species, estimating a total mean Species Richness of 9.7 (minimum 2- maximum 33) per sample, mean Shannon Diversity Index 3.27, Pielou Evenness 0.50 and mean betadiversity 0.630. While copepods area abundant form fall to early spring and summer, mysid density peaks form spring to fall. Community is structured by Salinity, but Temperature, Turbidity, Nitrate, Nitrite and Dissolved Oxygen were also important variables leading spatio-temporal variability, mainly when estuary recives high freshwater discharges from Alcala del Río dam
