Sexual selection for genetic quality: disentangling the roles of male and female behaviour
2009
According to the good genes model of sexual selection, females choose males of good heritable genetic quality to obtain offspring with high fitness. However, better mating success of high-quality males can also be brought about by direct interference competition between males, or simply through elevated activity of high-quality males. We examined the roles of different processes leading to sexual selection for genetic quality in Drosophila montana. We manipulated genetic quality of male flies by inducing mutations with ionizing radiation. We then recorded the effects of inherited heterozygous mutations on several aspects of mating behaviour of males and females in two experiments. We found …
El derecho de los parlamentarios a recabar documentación administrativa. Nuevas perspectivas jurisprudenciales a raíz de su creciente judicialización
2019
For just over five years, for the first time in our democratic history, the right of parliamentarians to collect documentation from public administrations has been judicialized in the contentious-administrative way. A cluster of cases with a single common focus: tense government-parliament relations in the Valencian Community. This conflict has led, in the course of these years, to a high number of resolutions of both the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community and the Supreme Court. A total of more than forty sentences that have had a considerable impact on the delimitation of this right. This article examines these judicial resolutions and offers a global analysis of the inte…

Prevention of hate speech crimes: digital versus real-life environment
2022
Extending the use of social media and other digital networks, as well as technology development and the impact of the pandemic have raised the problem of how to prevent hateful speech from occurring. Limitations on hate speech closely correlate with restriction of freedom of speech, therefore balance between the two should be met to ensure both fundamental democratic right on the freedom of speech, as well as to restrict limitations on one’s honour, dignity and safety. To answer whether mechanisms for combating the crimes of hate speech in the digital environment are as effective as they are in a real-life situation, the author analyses the international (United Nations) and Council of Euro…

La corte vicereale di Sicilia tra pubblico e privato: dinamiche cortigiane, ruoli, poteri
2021
Il saggio delinea alcuni caratteri della corte del viceré in Sicilia in età asburgica: la sua famiglia, la cerchia dei confidenti, composizione e articolazione dei ruoli istituzionali, costi, forme del coinvolgimento. Ne emerge un contesto articolato, uno scenario in cui si confrontavano poteri di diversa intensità e in competizione sul territorio, si determinavano scontri giurisdizionali, dispute patrimoniali e accordi matrimoniali, liti e vendette private: elementi che evidenziano la complessità del rapporto fra nobiltà periferica e potere centrale, relazioni interpersonali e reti di livello internazionale, pratiche negoziali diffuse, che confermano la rappresentazione di un regno niente …
Gertrude Bonnin on Sexual Morality
2021
This paper examines attitudes to sexual morality held by the Yankton Dakota author and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876–1938), better known by her penname Zitkála-Šá (Red Bird in Lakota). Bonnin’s concerns encompass several themes: the victimization of Indian women, disintegration of Native courtship rituals, sexual threats posed by peyote use, and the predatory nature of Euro-American men. This critique as a whole — in which a ‘white invasion,’ in her words, leads to a corruption of Native sexuality — sometimes produces inconsistencies, particularly regarding Bonnin’s statements on the alleged sexual perils of peyote. Her investigations into the Oklahoma guardianship scandals of the 1920s, h…
La montaña acumulada. La jurisdicción de Responsabilidades Políticas en Valencia hasta la reforma de 1942
2016
In barely two years the jurisdiction of Responsabilidades Politicas became a statewide problem. A mountain of unresolved cases with pending bureaucratic procedures were accumulated in courts. This paper seeks to look into the contributing factors in the rapid collapse of this special jurisdiction in the province of Valencia until the reform in 1942. In order to this end, this paper analyze the creation and the interventions of competent bodies in Ley de Responsabilidades Politicas’ first phase; especially focus is put on three stages of the process: the Court order, the commencement of the judicial proceedings and the examination of the files.
