Derechos Laborales y de Seguridad Social de las Víctimas de Violencia de Género

En este trabajo se analiza la protección de las mujeres víctimas de violencia de género en el ordenamiento jurídico social, centrándose en el conjunto de derechos reconocidos en el ámbito de las relaciones laborales y en el sistema de Seguridad Social. Con la aprobación de la Ley Orgánica de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género, se perseguía minimizar al máximo los perjuicios que podían ocasionarles a las trabajadoras víctimas de este tipo de violencia en el ámbito familiar. El Derecho del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social se presentaban como instrumentos que podían cumplir una extraordinaria función en cuanto favorecía la independencia económica de la mujer maltratada.In this project, the protection of women victims's of gender violence in the social law is analysed, focusing it on the set of rights recognized in the field of the labor relations and on the Social Security system. With the approval of the Organic Law for the Comprehensive Protection Measures' against gender violence it was aimed to minimize to the maximum the damages that could be caused to the family field of the female workers of such violence victims. The work and the Social Security rights were presented as an instrument that could fulfill an extraordinary role as it was favouring the financial independence of the mistreated woman.42 págs

Moduli Spaces of Semistable Sheaves on Singular Genus One Curves

We find some equivalences of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Gorenstein genus one curve that preserve the (semi)-stability of pure dimensional sheaves. Using them we establish new identifications between certain Simpson moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on the curve. For rank zero, the moduli spaces are symmetric powers of the curve whilst for a fixed positive rank there are only a finite number of non-isomorphic spaces. We prove similar results for the relative semistable moduli spaces on an arbitrary genus one fibration with no conditions either on the base or on the total space. For a cycle $E_N$ of projective lines, we show that the unique degree 0 stable sheaves are the line bundles having degree 0 on every irreducible component and the sheaves $\mathcal{O}(-1)$ supported on one irreducible component. We also prove that the connected component of the moduli space that contains vector bundles of rank $r$ is isomorphic to the $r$-th symmetric product of the rational curve with one node.Comment: 26 pages, 4 figures. Added the structure of the biggest component of the moduli space of sheaves of degree 0 on a cycle of projective lines.

Tradition and Innovation in David Lodge's Thinks...: a Study of the Campus Novel and the Two Cultures Debate

In Thinks… (2001) David Lodge rescues some of the classical generic conventions of the campus novel, a genre considered by many experts worn out and old-fashioned, in an attempt to reopen C.P. Snow’s two-cultures debate and to uplift the realm of arts in the world of academia. Lodge manages to play with a large variety of narrative strategies that suit to perfection character types and ideas. In this dissertation I intend to analyse Thinks... as a contemporary campus novel and to explore its contribution to the debate between science and humanities, taking into account both the formal and thematic aspects of the novel

A Characterization of Jacobians by the Existence of Picard Bundles

Based on the Matsusaka-Ran criterion we give a criterion to characterize when a principal polarized abelian variety is a Jacobian by the existence of Picard bundles.Comment: Latex, 11 page

Noise Sources, Effects and Countermeasures in Narrowband Power-Line Communications Networks: A Practical Approach

The integration of Distributed Generation, Electric Vehicles, and storage without compromising the quality of the power delivery requires the deployment of a communications overlay that allows monitoring and controlling low voltage networks in almost real time. Power Line Communications are gaining momentum for this purpose since they present a great trade-off between economic and technical features. However, the power lines also represent a harsh communications medium which presents different problems such as noise, which is indeed affected by Distributed Generation, Electric Vehicles, and storage. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the types of noise that affects Narrowband Power Line Communications, including normative noises, noises coming from common electronic devices measured in actual operational power distribution networks, and noises coming from photovoltaic inverters and electric vehicle charging spots measured in a controlled environment. The paper also reviews several techniques to mitigate the effects of noise, paying special attention to passive filtering, as for being one of the most widely used solution to avoid this kind of problems in the field. In addition, the paper presents a set of tests carried out to evaluate the impact of some representative noises on Narrowband Power Line Communications network performance, as well as the effectiveness of different passive filter configurations to mitigate such an impact. In addition, the considered sources of noise can also bring value to further improve PLC communications in the new scenarios of the Smart Grid as an input to theoretical models or simulations.This work has been partly funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the National Program for Research Aimed at the Challenges of Society under the project OSIRIS (RTC-2014-1556-3) and through the network of excellence REDYD2050 (ENE2015-70032-REDT)

Analysis of primary language competition through ICT

Este artículo muestra el uso de las TIC para la mejora de la competencia lingüística de los estudiantes de Educación Primaria. Desde un diseño cuasi-experimental, la muestra conformada por 34 estudiantes de tercer ciclo de Educación Primaria de diferentes centros educativos en la comunidad andaluza, se ha dividido en dos grupos, grupo de control y grupo experimental, con la medición de la variable competencia lingüística a través de un cuestionario pretest-postest (? = ,821). A través del análisis estadístico para muestras independientes T de Student, los resultados muestran diferencias significativas en la variable de competencia lingüística (t=2,506; p=0.017) obteniendo un mayor valor en el grupo experimental. En conclusión, se mejora la competencia lingüística con las TIC en las rutinas aprendizaje.This article shows the use of ICTs for the improvement of Primary Education students' linguistic competence. From a quasi-experimental design, the sample made up of 34 students of the third cycle of Primary Education from different educational centers in the Andalusian community, has been divided into two groups, the control group and the experimental group, with the measurement of the linguistic competence variable through a pretest-postest questionnaire (? =, 821). Through statistical analysis for independent Student's T samples, the results showed significant differences in the linguistic competence variable (t = 2.506; p = 0.017), obtaining a higher score in the experimental group. In conclusion, the linguistic competence improves when the ICT is applied in learning routines
