Procesos de subjetivación y salud en mujeres cuidadoras desde un enfoque feminista y participativo
2022
La presente tesis doctoral “Procesos de subjetivación y salud en mujeres cuidadoras desde un enfoque feminista y participativo” investiga los cuidados realizados por mujeres, a personas familiares en situación de dependencia, desde una perspectiva crítica, feminista, post-estructuralista y participativa. Estudiar la realidad de las mujeres cuidadoras desde este abordaje teórico y metodológico, supone indagar cómo los procesos histórico-culturales y políticos de la organización social de los cuidados determinan los procesos de subjetivación y la salud biopsicosocial de las mujeres. Este abordaje requiere entender el género, la organización social de los cuidados, la Ley de la Dependencia y e…
Role of Menopausal Transition and Physical Activity in Loss of Lean and Muscle Mass : A Follow-Up Study in Middle-Aged Finnish Women
2020
In midlife, women experience hormonal changes due to menopausal transition. A decrease especially in estradiol has been hypothesized to cause loss of muscle mass. This study investigated the effect of menopausal transition on changes in lean and muscle mass, from the total body to the muscle fiber level, among 47–55-year-old women. Data were used from the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study, where 234 women were followed from perimenopause to early postmenopause. Hormone levels (estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone), total and regional body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT) scans), physical activity level (self-reported…

Políticas imperiales y género. La Sección Femenina en la provincia de Sahara (1961-1975).
2016
En 1961, la Sección Femenina empieza a desarrollar en las colonias africanas las labores que venía llevando en la España franquista desde 1939. Esta institución, que nació como la organización de mujeres del partido fascista Falange Española y de las JONS, venía ejerciendo en la metrópolis las funciones de dispositivo de encuadramiento de las mujeres. En 1958 y como una estrategia para alargar su permanencia en Sahara, Ifni, Rio Muni y Fernando Poo, se convirtieron los últimos territorios coloniales en Provincias, instalando poco después a la organización de mujeres en un intentando dar una imagen de normalidad. En 1964 abrió la primera Escuela de Hogar en Aaiún y, poco a poco fue creando u…
Preventing occupational injury among police officers: does motivation matter?
2017
Background: Injury prevention is an important issue for police officers, but the effectiveness of prevention initiatives is dependent on officers’ motivation toward, and adherence to, recommended health and safety guidelines. Aims: To understand effects of police officers’ motivation to prevent occupational injury on beliefs about safety and adherence to injury prevention behaviours. Methods: Full-time police officers completed a survey comprising validated psychometric scales to assess autonomous, controlled and amotivated forms of motivation (Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire), behavioural adherence (Self-reported Treatment Adherence Scale) and beliefs (Safety Attitude Questionnaire…
Rikoksista tuomitut naiset : yhteisöstä erottaminen ja takaisinliittymisen mahdollisuudet
2019
Tutkimus käsittelee yhteisöstä erottamisen ja siihen takaisinliittymisen mahdollisuuksia rikostaustaisten naisten elämässä. Tutkimuksen kohteena ovat rikostaustaisten naisten kertomukset elämänkulustaan. Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan naisten kertomuksia siirtymäriittiteorian eli yhteisöstä erottamisen, liminaalin ja takaisinliittämisen näkökulmasta. Aineisto on kerätty haastattelemalla 18 naista, jotka haastatteluhetkellä olivat joko suorittamassa vankeusrangaistustaan, ehdonalaisen vapauden valvonnassa tai rangaistuksensa suorittaneet. Aineiston analyysissa on käytetty narratiivista lähestymistapaa sekä Greimasin aktanttimallia. Aineiston analyysissa esiin nousevia keskeisiä teemoja ovat päih…
Velocity-based resistance training: do women need greater velocity loss to maximize adaptations?
2021
Abstract Purpose Men and women typically display different neuromuscular characteristics, force–velocity relationships, and differing strength deficit (upper vs. lower body). Thus, it is not clear how previous recommendations for training with velocity-loss resistance training based on data in men will apply to women. This study examined the inter-sex differences in neuromuscular adaptations using 20% and 40% velocity-loss protocols in back squat and bench press exercises. Methods The present study employed an 8-week intervention (2 × week) comparing 20% vs. 40% velocity-loss resistance training in the back squat and bench press exercises in young men and women (~ 26 years). Maximum strengt…
Identification of a new nonsense mutation (Tyr129Stop) of the SRY gene in a newborn infant with XY sex-reversal.
2004
Point mutations and deletions of SRY gene have been described in several cases of XY gonadal dysgenesis. To date, most of these mutations affect the HMG domain of SRY which plays a central role in DNA binding activity of SRY. We report on a non-mosaic XY sex-reversed newborn girl (completely female external genitalia). The direct sequencing of SRY showed a new nonsense mutation in a codon of SRY gene flanking the 3' end of the HMG domain: a thymine is replaced by a guanine at position +387 in codon 129, resulting in the replacement of the amino acid tyrosine (TAT) by a stop codon (TAG). The new mutation of this patient provides further evidence to support the functional importance of the pu…
‘Which approach to Sex-Trafficking? Revisiting Feminist Debates on Sex-Trafficking in Europe
2011
By paying attention to the complexities of the issue of sex trafficking in Europe, the paper critically analyzes the feminist debate on sex trafficking, articulated from the «abolitionist» and «sex workers’ rights» perspectives. The article examines the limits of the current feminist interpretations of sex trafficking developed around the «victimhood» versus «agency» dichotomy in relation to prostitution, and explores other possible spaces for a feminist critique of sex trafficking in Europe.
The Impact of Adolescent Internet Addiction on Sexual Online Victimization: The Mediating Effects of Sexting and Body Self-Esteem
2021
Adolescents’ problematic use of the internet and the risk of sexual online victimization are an increasing concern among families, researchers, professionals and society. This study aimed to analyze the interplay between adolescents’ addiction to social networks and internet, body self-esteem and sexual–erotic risk behavior online: sexting, sextortion and grooming. While sexting refers to the voluntary engagement in texting sexual–erotic messages, sextortion and grooming are means of sexual–erotic victimization through the use of the internet. Participants were 1763 adolescents (51% girls), aged 12 to 16 years (M = 14.56
