Una revisión sobre el tratamiento de los agresores en violencia de género

Este trabajo tienecomo objetivo analizar los programas de intervención para eltratamiento a los agresores de violencia de género. Para abordar esta temática se han analizado los conceptos fundamentales que rodean y explican este tipo de violencia. Se describen los principales enfoques teóricos y, haciendo énfasis en los agresores, se desarrollan los rasgos específicos que los caracterizan, así como la tipología de hombres que maltratan, el tratamiento judicial y la naturaleza de los programas.A pesar de la gravedad de la violencia de género y de la alta tasa de prevalencia de este tipo de maltrato hacia la mujer, el desarrollo de programas se encuentra aún en una etapa incipiente. No obstante, los resultados de los diferentestratamientos descritos son esperanzadores, ya que han conseguido reducir las conductas de maltrato y evitar la reincidencia.Se defiende que el motivo que debe prevalecer en el tratamiento con maltratadores de violencia de género es el de protección a las víctimas

Drugs: a necessary educational review

La prevención de las drogodependencias ha sido, y continúa siendo una de las problemáticas sociales que más han preocupado a nuestra sociedad, eco de ello, y en un intento de poner vías de solución, el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas lleva ya trabajando en esta contienda veinte años. Ha llegado, pues, el momento de conocer los resultados, sus interpretaciones, corregir los errores y seguir apostando por una sociedad preparada para vivir en un mundo donde las drogas existen, han sido consumidas y seguirán siéndolo, donde su uso no constituya un problema social, y contribuya a mejorar nuestra calidad de vida en vez de menguarla. Todo análisis no puede ser desligado del contexto en el que se ha ido configurando, y nuestra contribución pretende proyectar algo de luz sobre este contexto guiado por unos modelos de intervención que, aunque aparentemente se presentan como opuestos, han funcionado como complementarios, si bien es cierto que se hace necesario seguir apostando por acciones educativas para la salud que capaciten a los individuos y a las sociedades.The prevention of the drug addictions has been and continues being one of problematic the social ones that have worried to our society, an echo of it, and in an attempt to put on new routes of solution, the National Plan on Drugs takes already working in this fight twenty years. It has arrived, then, the moment to know the results, his interpretations, for correcting the errors and for continuing betting by a prepared society to live in a world where the drugs exist, they have been consumed and they will continue being it, where its use does not constitute a social problem, and contributes to improve our quality of life instead of diminishing it. All analysis cannot be separated of the context in which it has been formed, and our contribution tries to add some light on this context guided by some intervention models that although apparently appear like opposite, they have worked like complementary, it is of course true that it becomes necessary to continue betting by the educative actions from the health education that empower to the individuals and the societies

Vertical wind profile characterization and identification of patterns based on a shape clustering algorithm

Wind power plants are becoming a generally accepted resource in the generation mix of many utilities. At the same time, the size and the power rating of individual wind turbines have increased considerably. Under these circumstances, the sector is increasingly demanding an accurate characterization of vertical wind speed profiles to estimate properly the incoming wind speed at the rotor swept area and, consequently, assess the potential for a wind power plant site. The present paper describes a shape-based clustering characterization and visualization of real vertical wind speed data. The proposed solution allows us to identify the most likely vertical wind speed patterns for a specific location based on real wind speed measurements. Moreover, this clustering approach also provides characterization and classification of such vertical wind profiles. This solution is highly suitable for a large amount of data collected by remote sensing equipment, where wind speed values at different heights within the rotor swept area are available for subsequent analysis. The methodology is based on z-normalization, shape-based distance metric solution and the Ward-hierarchical clustering method. Real vertical wind speed profile data corresponding to a Spanish wind power plant and collected by using a commercialWindcube equipment during several months are used to assess the proposed characterization and clustering process, involving more than 100000 wind speed data values. All analyses have been implemented using open-source R-software. From the results, at least four different vertical wind speed patterns are identified to characterize properly over 90% of the collected wind speed data along the day. Therefore, alternative analytical function criteria should be subsequently proposed for vertical wind speed characterization purposes.The authors are grateful for the financial support from the Spanish Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness and the European Union —ENE2016-78214-C2-2-R—and the Spanish Education, Culture and Sport Ministry —FPU16/042

Integration and Management of Technologies Through Practicum Experiences: A Review in Preservice Teacher Education (2010-2020)

The presence and use of technologies in educational settings is constantly increasing. Therefore, initial teacher education needs to prepare future teachers to deal with this technological implementation from both practical and pedagogical perspectives. This paper examines the treatment of technologies that initial teacher education offers to early childhood education and primary education preservice teachers facing their practicum experiences. A bibliometric and thematic review during the 2010-2020 period is conducted in WoS, Scopus, PsycInfo, and ERIC databases. An analysis of co-occurrence of terms and the creation of bibliometric maps are considered. The thematic analysis follows an inductive approach. Three big areas are addressed through this approximation: consideration of technologies before practicum, the use of technologies at the schools, and the study of preservice teacher’s personal variables. Findings show the importance of working with technological preparation of university supervisors and cooperating teachers when teacher candidates do their practicum. In this proposal, to consider the self-efficacy and technological, pedagogical and content knowledge model of preservice teachers is encouraged. Conclusions underline the importance of teaching and strengthening pedagogical and reflective experiences during the practicum. Limitations are considered

Spectroelectrochemical study of carbon monoxide and ethanol oxidation on Pt/C, PtSn(3:1)/C and PtSn(1:1)/C catalysts

PtSn-based catalysts are one of the most active materials toward that contribute ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). In order to gain a better understanding of the Sn influence on the carbon monoxide (principal catalyst poison) and ethanol oxidation reactions in acidic media, a systematic spectroelectrochemical study was carried out. With this end, carbon-supported PtSnx (x = 0, 1/3 and 1) materials were synthesized and employed as anodic catalysts for both reactions. In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) indicate that Sn diminishes the amount of bridge bonded CO (COB) and greatly improves the CO tolerance of Pt-based catalysts. Regarding the effect of Sn loading on the EOR, it enhances the catalytic activity and decreases the onset potential. FTIRS and DEMS analysis indicate that the C-C bond scission occurs at low overpotentials and at the same potential values regardless of the Sn loading, although the amount of C-C bond breaking decreases with the rise of Sn in the catalytic material. Therefore, the elevated catalytic activity toward the EOR at PtSn-based electrodes is mainly associated with the improved CO tolerance and the incomplete oxidation of ethanol to form acetic acid and acetaldehyde species, causing the formation of a higher amount of both C2 products with the rise of Sn loading.This research was funded by Fundación Cajacanarias (project BIOGRAF) the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) under projects CTQ2011-28913-C02 and ENE2014-52158-C02 (co-funded by FEDER).

La Cueva de la Revilla, un enterramiento colectivo del Bronce Protocogotas en la Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos)

La riqueza arqueológica de la Sierra de Atapuerca se ve corroborada por la excavación de una pequeña cueva que fue utilizada como panteón colectivo durante el Bronce Medio Protocogotas. Su estudio sirve de punto de partida para valorar el ritual funerario cavernícola de la Edad del Bronce en el reborde nororiental de la submeseta Norte así como para plantear la existencia de diferentes fórmulas de enterramiento vinculadas a distintos espacios geográficos.The excavation in a small cave, which was used as collective pantheon during the middle Bronze Age proto-Cogotas, corroborates the Sierra de Atapuerca's archaelogical richness. Its study serves as initiation into Bronze cavemen's funerary ritual s in the Submeseta Norte (Castilian plateau's) north-eastern border as well as to introduce the different burial customs depending on the geographical area

Diferencias en ansiedad y depresión ante la muerte según edad y sexo en una muestra de universitarios españoles

El propósito de este estudio era evaluar las diferencias en ansiedad y depresión ante la muerte relacionadas con la edad y el sexo en una muestra de universitarios españoles, según el modelo desarrollado por Templer (1970). Participaron 1172 estudiantes en diferentes universidades españolas, de edades comprendidas entre 17 y 28 años. El diseño del estudio fue transversal y el método descriptivo correlacional. Se aplicaron los instrumentos de medida DAS (Death Anxiety Scale) y DDS-R (Death Depression Scale). Se calculan medias y desviaciones típicas, ANOVA y prueba Scheffé. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas asociadas a sexo y edad en ansiedad y depresión ante la muerte, siguiendo un patrón decreciente en función de la edad y mostrando mayor prevalencia en mujeres. Finalmente, se reflexiona acerca de las consecuencias en el contexto de la formación universitaria.The purpose of this study wasto evaluate the differences in death anxiety and death depression related to age and sex in a sample of Spanish university students, according to the model developed by Templer (1970). 1172 students participated from different Spanish universities, aged between 17 and 28 years old. The study design was cross-sectional and the method was descriptive correlational. The DAS (Death Anxiety Scale) and DDS-R (Death Depression Scale) were applied. Means and typical deviations, ANOVA and Scheffé test are calculated. The results show significant differences associated with sex and age in death anxiety and death depression, so that those decrease according to age and are more pronounced in women. Finally, we reflect on the consequences in higher education.Educació

Pre-university orientation in college. The case of the University of Seville

In any educational system, the orientation is considered as an indicator of quality. In further education, counseling for university entrance is an essential element of the system due to the increase of the changes in all matters relating to the university studies. In this respect, is increasing the supply of services intended to help guide students in making decisions for university life. This paper presents and describes the Gateway Program at University of Seville, like a transition from post-compulsory secondary education to university. The objectives of the Gateway Program, orientation program for university entrance, are defined according to the different sectors involved: students, counselors and parents (AMPAS).Universidad de SevillaUniversity of WarwickGeorg-August University GoettingenUniversity of StirlingCanterbury Christ Church UniversityStockholm UniversityUniversity of Lower SilesiaNational University of Ireland Maynoot
