Educación en igualdad de género para prevenir la violencia machista
2017
La violencia contra las mujeres es un fenómeno universal e histórico que afecta a las mujeres y niñas de todas las clases sociales, tratándose de una manifestación de desigualdad entre las mujeres y los hombres. Uno de los ámbitos privilegiados y especialmente importantes desde donde se puede y debe prevenir es la educación. Disponemos de un buen marco conceptual para comprender la complejidad del fenómeno, de datos que indican la gravedad y magnitud del problema y de una normativa de obligado cumplimiento en todos los niveles educativos, porque la igualdad también se aprende y, a pesar de los importantes retos que tiene planteados, la coeducación deviene necesaria para poder erradicar la v…
Atención a mujeres inmigrantes en un programa de mediación intercultural en salud
2014
Fundamentos: la mediación intercultural es una estrategia para una atención sanitaria de calidad orientada a la disminución de desigualdades en población inmigrante. El objetivo fue analizar los principales motivos de consulta con el servicio de mediación, el perfil de las mujeres atendidas y las características de la intervención realizada. Métodos: Estudio transversal de 339 episodios de atención de dos mediadoras interculturales (MI) desde febrero de 2008 a octubre de 2011 en Valencia. Se analizaron las variables de los registros individuales de las consultas de mediación: motivos de derivación a MI y profesionales que remitieron, motivos y problemas detectados por MI, tipo de intervenci…
Hierarchical structure of the Sicilian goats revealed by Bayesian analyses of microsatellite information
2011
Summary Genetic structure and relationship amongst the main goat populations in Sicily (Girgentana, Derivata di Siria, Maltese and Messinese) were analysed using information from 19 microsatellite markers genotyped on 173 individuals. A posterior Bayesian approach implemented in the program STRUCTURE revealed a hierarchical structure with two clusters at the first level (Girgentana vs. Messinese, Derivata di Siria and Maltese), explaining 4.8% of variation (AMOVA UST estimate). Seven clusters nested within these first two clusters (further differentiations of Girgentana, Derivata di Siria and Maltese), explaining 8.5% of variation (AMOVA USC estimate). The analyses and methods applied in th…
Anti-Malthus: Conflict and the Evolution of Societies
2013
The Malthusian theory of evolution disregards a pervasive fact about human societies: they expand through conflict. When this is taken account of the long-run favors not a large population at the level of subsistence, nor yet institutions that maximize welfare or per capita output, but rather institutions that generate large amount of free resources and direct these towards state power. Free resources are the output available to society after deducting the payments necessary for subsistence and for the incentives needed to induce production, and the other claims to production such as transfer payments and resources absorbed by elites. We develop the evolutionary underpinnings of this model,…
Proposal of an exploitation method of a national database, the PMSI, to estimate the frequency of the abused children in France, from 0 to 5 years ol…
2017
Importance: Childhood abuse is a global public health issue yet there is a serious lack of reliable epidemiological data and the figures reported are very often underestimated. A large part of these children are not diagnosed. Moreover, diagnosed children are not recorded in a single database.Objective: The aim of this study is to provide two estimations of the frequency of child physical abuse requiring hospitalization (hospital prevalence) and the corresponding in-hospital fatality. Design, setting and participants: This was a national retrospective study using a national hospital database (PMSI).We included all children aged less than 2 years old hospitalized at least once in France from…
Energetic Sustainability Using Renewable Energies in the Mediterranean Sea
2016
The paper is focused on the analysis of the electrical energy sector in the Maltese islands, focusing on the employment of Renewable Energies in order to increase its energy independence. The main renewable source here proposed is wave energy: thanks to its strategic position, Malta will be able to generate electrical energy through the use of an innovative type of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) based on the prototype of linear generator designed and developed by the University of Palermo. This new technology will be able to cut down the electrical energy production from traditional power plants and, consequently, the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Wave energy source and off-shore photovoltai…
Renewable energy sources to fulfill the global energy needs of a country: The case study of Malta in Mediterranean Sea
2016
The paper shows the advantages using different energy resources for the islands of Malta. Moreover, this work is focused on the analysis of the wave energy potential along Malta's coasts. This important resource can be exploited to produce electrical energy using an innovative Point Absorber based on a new generator prototype realized by University of Palermo. The use of renewable source will reduce greenhouses emissions and increase the energy independence of Malta. The procedures applied in the present article, as well as the main equations used, are the result of previous applications made in different technical fields that show a good replicability [1]-[7].
Nature and origin of fault-controlled fluid seepage across the Maltese Islands
2018
The Maltese Islands are intersected by two major fault systems associated with two diverse rifting episodes affect the islands. The first and most widespread system is Early Miocene to mid-Pliocene in age, and consists of faults that are orientated ENE-WSW. The most distinct of these faults is the Great Fault (known also as the Victoria Lines Fault). The younger system of faults (Late Miocene-Early Pliocene) is still active and consists of faults striking NW to SE that often cross-cut the first generation of faults. The most extensive of these faults is the Maghlaq Fault, located along the southern coastline of the Maltese Islands.
Geographical variability in violence against women in Spain
2010
Objetivos: Describir la prevalencia global y por comunidades autónomas (CC.AA.) de la violencia por un compañero íntimo, sus características y la violencia fuera de la pareja, así como estudiar la relación entre la prevalencia de violencia por un compañero íntimo y la frecuencia de denuncias y muertes por este motivo. Métodos: Encuesta transversal mediante cuestionario autoadministrado en 11.475 mujeres que acuden a consultas de atención primaria durante los años 2006-2007. Diseño muestral estratificado y polietápico, con una muestra representativa por CA. Además de la violencia por un compañero íntimo y la violencia fuera de la pareja, se recogieron denuncias y muertes por la primera. Se r…
