Bi-objective multi-layer location–allocation model for the immediate aftermath of sudden-onset disasters
2019
International audience; Locating distribution centers is critical for humanitarians in the immediate aftermath of a sudden-onset disaster. A major challenge lies in balancing the complexity and uncertainty of the problem with time and resource constraints. To address this problem, we propose a location–allocation model that divides the topography of affected areas into multiple layers; considers constrained number and capacity of facilities and fleets; and allows decision-makers to explore trade-offs between response time and logistics costs. To illustrate our theoretical work, we apply the model to a real dataset from the 2015 Nepal earthquake response. For this case, our method results in…
Managing in-country transportation risks in humanitarian supply chains by logistics service providers: Insights from the 2015 Nepal earthquake
2017
International audience; Humanitarian supply chains (HSCs) play a central role in effective and efficient disaster relief operations. Transportation has a critical share in HSCs and managing its risks helps to avoid further disruptions in relief operations. However, there is no common approach to or culture of risk management that its applicability has been studied through recent cases. This paper incorporates an empirical research design and makes a threefold contribution: first, it identifies in-country transportation risks during Nepal response. Second, we evaluate afore identified risks through an expert driven risk assessment grid. Third, we use our field data to study how some humanita…
Cultural adaptation of the Smiling is Fun program for the treatment of depression in the Ecuadorian public health care system: A study protocol for a…
2021
Background Depression is one of the world's major health problems. Due to its high prevalence, it constitutes the first cause of disability among the Americas, where only a very low percentage of the population receives the adequate evidence-based psychological treatment. Internet-Based Interventions (IBIs) are a great alternative to reduce the treatment gap for mental disorders. Although there are several studies in low-and middle-income countries proving IBIs' feasibility and acceptability, there is still little evidence of the effectiveness in diverse social and cultural contexts such as Latin America. Methods Two studies will be described: Study 1 is focused on the cultural adaptation o…
Un corpo di donna per fare la guerra. Lettura della Ifigenia in Aulide di Euripide
2009
This paper analyzes Euripides’s Iphigenia in Aulis from a perspective that highlights the relationship between three different levels - the sacred, the political and the private -intersected as they are by the opposition male/female. In the course of the tragedy we assist at the gradual domination of the two spheres of “public” and “political”, while the sphere of “sacred” provides only a ritual frame. On the other hand, from the overall structure of the tragedy it also results that the sphere of “private” relationships and loves is a loser. Iphigenia, who takes upon herself the political and patriotic values of war, peculiar to the male, allows the execution of the sacrificial ritual and h…
“Libros para niñas y libros para niños”: Presencia de estereotipos de género en una colección de libros para dibujar
2014
<p>Los aprendizajes que se producen a partir de las propuestas imaginarias y simbólicas en los materiales didácticos pueden contener elementos sexistas. El objetivo del estudio consiste en determinar, a través de un análisis de contenido, si la colección de libros para dibujar <em>“Doodle para niñas”</em> y <em>“Doodle para niños”</em> representa roles estereotipados de género en sus imágenes y en el texto escrito. Tanto a nivel de representación gráfica como escrita, ambos libros utilizan roles estereotipados sobre todo en detrimento de la mujer. Aunque el sistema educativo español señala hace años un modelo igualitario para eliminar la discriminación, los ava…
La agenda oculta del trabajo invisible: aproximación teórica y categorización
2015
<p>Los estudios sobre corresponsabilidad en el trabajo doméstico y en la sostenibilidad de la vida han valorado las desigualdades entre hombre y mujeres en el reparto de las funciones domésticas y de cuidado, pero —hasta el momento— han dejado de lado algunas tareas que por sus características resultan más difusas. Nuestra investigación pretende comprobar cuáles son las tareas que siguen siendo invisibles actualmente, de modo que puedan ser incorporadas para futuros análisis y colaborar, con esta visibilización, a su consideración social y a la corresponsabilidad plena como aspiración imprescindible de igualdad entre sexos.</p>
La lucha contra la brecha salarial de género en el Derecho social europeo
2017
[EN] Starting from the assumption that equal pay for female and male workers form parts of the foundations of European Social Law (both as an essential principle and a fundamental right), this essay reflects on two important challenges in order to face the gender wage gap: firstly, the role of social partners and relevant organisations of civil society in salary negotiations; and secondly, the extension of the scope of the valid comparator beyond the same undertaking to make easier the protective role of national judges (alongside other elements such as the assessment of the weight of statistics or the articulation of the proof burden). The author concludes that, in both aspects, the synerg…
La reliquia nello scrigno / The relic in the casket
2018
Il restauro persegue l’obiettivo di preservare il carattere autentico dell’architettura storica e le sue stratificazioni, rendere distinguibili le aggiunte e proporre un uso compatibile. Questa posizione culturale ha sostenuto l’intervento condotto sui resti dell’ex chiesa Madre a Santa Margherita di Belice in Sicilia, distrutta da un terremoto nel 1968, che oggi ospita il Museo della Memoria. Esclusa l’iniziale proposta di ripristino delle parti crollate, il progetto di restauro è stato indirizzato verso la conservazione critica del frammento autentico, la reintegrazione della fabbrica lacunosa e la ridefinizione dell’involucro architettonico con componenti strutturali dal carattere potenz…
