The minimum pension and its effect on the gender gap in retirement pensions in Spain
2021
The gender gap in pensions is greater than the gender gap in wages in the majority of countries in the European Union. Similarly, more women live on a minimum pension than do men. Therefore, the me...
Murdered women’s children: A social emergency and gloomy reality
2018
Femicide, defined as the killing of females by males because they are females, is be-coming recognized worldwide as an im-portant ongoing manifestation of gender inequality. Actual or imminent separation, abuser’s access to firearms, prior threats with a weapon, prior threats to kill the victim, a stepchild in the household, prob-lematic alcohol and illicit drug use, as well as mental health problems, are associated with a substantially higher risk of femi-cide. Little is known about the number of orphaned children who have instantane-ously lost both parents. Sparse attention has been focused on children whose moth-er was murdered: these are difficult cases for child psychiatry teams. Decis…
Measuring wage discrimination according to an expected utility approach
2012
Following on from the seminal works by Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973), many methods have been proposed to measure wage discrimination against women. Some of these methods focus on the entire distribution of the discrimination experienced by each woman, underlining a common aspect of poverty and discrimination analysis: the latter two are both based on an idea of deprivation which originates from a poverty line (in the case of poverty) and from the expected wage in the absence of discrimination (in the case of wage discrimination) (Jenkins, 1994; Del Río et al., 2011). These approaches hinge on conditional-to-individual-characteristics expected wages, lacking in any focus regarding the ent…
Dealing with a potential bias in estimating the share of discriminated women
2012
The Blinder-Oaxaca [1, 6] decomposition neglects any distributional issues of discrimination. Instead, Jenkins [5] has argued the importance of a distributional approach in evaluating wage discrimination, focusing on the entire distribution of discrimination experienced by each woman. In their distributional approach, Del Río et al. [3] have adapted the Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) [4] poverty indices in studying wage discrimination. These discrimination indices depend on a parameter which can be interpreted as a measure of aversion to discrimination. When the aversion parameter is zero, the index measures the share of discriminated women. In this paper we will demonstrate that the naï…
On the analysis of the cat's pattern recognition system
1983
The objective of the paper is to determine in abstract terms the algorithms used by the cat detecting simple patterns and to quantify the contributions of the visual areas 17, 18, 19 for this task. The data incorporated in the algorithm are collected from behavioral experiments where the animals had to distinguish between two patterns. The patterns were superimposed with gaussian noise and the detection probability was measured. The resulting model describes pattern recognition in two steps: first extraction of features and second classification. The test of the validity of the model system was to predict the outcome of similar experiments but with different patterns. With the help of the m…
Violación de la prohibición de discriminación en el tratamiento de la prostitución por parte de los tribunales laborales españoles
2020
El reconocimiento pleno de derechos laborales a toda manifestación del trabajo sexual, incluida la prostitución, resulta plenamente necesario para la tutela no discriminatoria de las personas que, por necesidades económicas, decida ejercer libremente la prostitución. Los tribunales laborales españoles no responden, en este punto, a la lógica tuitiva del derecho del trabajo e ignoran la vulnerabilidad a la que dejan expuesta a las trabajadoras sexuales. Aplican para ello criterios que no siempre son estrictamente jurídicos, efectuando conclusiones voluntaristas que predeterminan el contenido de sus fallos sin tomar en consideración el derecho. Se produce como consecuencia de ello una discrim…
Palabras clave y léxico frecuente como indicadores de la mentira
2015
Aunque la creencia popular sostiene que el lenguaje no verbal es el mejor indicador a la hora de detectar la mentira, diferentes investigaciones han puesto de manifiesto que la combinacion de lenguaje verbal y no verbal ofrece mayores porcentajes de acierto en la deteccion del engano que el uso de uno solo de estos parametros. De hecho, existe evidencia cientifica de que el lenguaje verbal puede ser el mejor predictor del comportamiento no veraz. Para nuestra investigacion, hemos elegido 38 informantes de entre 17 y 19 anos, a los que se ha sometido a dos pruebas. En la primera de ellas, los informantes deben expresar la verdad o mentir ante una serie de preguntas previamente establecidas y…
Tailoring a pair of pants
2021
Abstract We show how to deform the map Log : ( C ⁎ ) n → R n such that the image of the complex pair of pants P ∘ ⊂ ( C ⁎ ) n is the tropical hyperplane by showing an (ambient) isotopy between P ∘ ⊂ ( C ⁎ ) n and a natural polyhedral subcomplex of the product of the two skeleta S × Σ ⊂ A × C of the amoeba A and the coamoeba C of P ∘ . This lays the groundwork for having the discriminant to be of codimension 2 in topological Strominger-Yau-Zaslow torus fibrations.
Genetic diversity and trait genomic prediction in a pea diversity panel
2014
Background Pea (Pisum sativum L.), a major pulse crop grown for its protein-rich seeds, is an important component of agroecological cropping systems in diverse regions of the world. New breeding challenges imposed by global climate change and new regulations urge pea breeders to undertake more efficient methods of selection and better take advantage of the large genetic diversity present in the Pisum sativum genepool. Diversity studies conducted so far in pea used Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Retrotransposon Based Insertion Polymorphism (RBIP) markers. Recently, SNP marker panels have been developed that will be useful for genetic diversity assessment and marker-assisted selection. Resu…
