Attention Check Items and Instructions in Online Surveys: Boon or Bane for Data Quality?
2019
In this paper, we examine rates of careless responding and reactions to detection methods (i.e., attention check items and instructions) in an experimental setting based on two different samples. First, we use a quota sample (with monetary incentive), a central data source for internet-based surveys in sociological and political research. Second, we include a voluntary opt-in panel (without monetary incentive) well suited for conducting survey experiments (e.g., factorial surveys). Respondents’ reactions to the detection items are analyzed by objective, nonreactive indicators (i.e., break-off, item non-response, and measurement quality), and two self-report scales. Our reaction analyses rev…
A brief history of the formation of DNA databases in forensic science within Europe.
2001
The introduction of DNA analysis to forensic science brought with it a number of choices for analysis, not all of which were compatible. As laboratories throughout Europe were eager to use the new technology different systems became routine in different laboratories and consequently, there was no basis for the exchange of results. A period of co-operation then started in which a nucleus of forensic scientists agreed on an uniform system. This collaboration spread to incorporate most of the established forensic science laboratories in Europe and continued through two major changes in the technology. At each step agreement was reached on which systems to use. From the beginning it was realise…
El nuevo dilema de la izquierda: identidad vs justicia social
2011
ResumenLa izquierda carece en la actualidad de iniciativa real. Desde la caída del muro se vio ampliamente desbordada por el neocapitalismo. La idea de justicia social dejaba entonces de tener valor. Desde entonces los partidos de izquierda no asumen posiciones diáfanas en este sentido. No reivindican la justicia social y son ambiguos frente a las condiciones que impone el capitalismo. Sitúan el eje de sus discurso político en cuestiones más relacionadas con la identidad, que con la justicia social y la clase social. De la respuesta a la pregunta ¿sigue siendo hoy una prioridad para la izquierda la búsqueda de la justicia social?, dependerá en buena medida la razón de su existencia. Abstrac…
Deportation, Crisis, and Social Change
2018
In contemporary migration policy and practice across the globe, deportation has emerged as an apparently inevitable response to real, or otherwise perceived, migration crises. A skeptical attitudetoward the analytic use of “crisis” in the context of deportation is called for, as is the need to concentrate on the political genealogy of the term, which culminates in the justification of “emergency” policies and the implementation of new measures of control. Yet, at the same time—when states govern undocumented or unwanted residents through deportation and employ the notion of crisis for justifying irregular and often violent acts towards deportable subjects—a situation emerges that indeed sha…
La necesaria deconstrucción del modelo patriarcal de Justicia (The Necessary Deconstruction of the Patriarchal Model of Justice)
2018
Spanish Abstract: El Derecho ha sido tradicionalmente creado e interpretado por hombres. Esta situacion resulta poco aceptable en la actual realidad social y requiere una revision en profundidad. En el presente articulo se aborda esta situacion en profundidad apostando por una revision en profundidad de los parametros clasicos del Derecho y de la Justicia, y apostando por una aproximacion a este con ojos de mujer, tanto a la hora de su elaboracion, de su interpretacion y aplicacion. English Abstract: The Law has traditionally been created and interpreted by men. This situation is not acceptable in modern times and requires a change in depth. In this article the current situation of the Law …
De como la incorporación de las ADR convierte el Derecho Procesal en Derecho de los medios de tutela del ciudadano (How the Incorporation of ADR in P…
2012
Spanish Abstract: La nueva realidad que la sociedad global nos presenta destaca un dato indudable: los procesos judiciales y los tribunales del Estado se muestran en la actualidad desbordados, sobredimensionados en todos los sectores del ordenamiento juridico (personal, material, presupuestario) y han experimentado, paralelamente a la sofisticacion de la litigiosidad, una imposibilidad de asumir con todas las garantias el derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva. Esa profusion de la conflictividad en calidad y cantidad es el dato innegable desde el que hay que afrontar un nuevo escenario de la solucion de conflictos y de la resolucion de la litigiosidad que, allende los tribunales de justicia …
Education for development in the university context. Why and for what?
2021
La educación para el desarrollo se ha venido popularizando progresivamente en las universidades españolas en paralelo con la extensión de la cooperación para el desarrollo entre estas. La educación para el desarrollo se ha visto como una oportunidad para promover el compromiso social de la Universidad y fomentar valores de solidaridad y justicia a través de la formación universitaria. La educación para el desarrollo ha puesto de relieve el componente educativo de la Universidad, a menudo subsumido por el afán formativo. Sin embargo, el alcance de la educación para el desarrollo y, sobre todo, su transversalización en los programas de estudio universitarios siguen siendo muy limitados. El ob…
Il diritto di voto secondo la Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo e secondo la Corte comunitaria
2007
By two judgments of 12 september 2006 (Kingdom of Spain v. United Kingdom and Eman, Sevinger v. College van burgemeester en wethouders van Den Haag), the Court of Justice of the European Communities found that the provisions of the EC Treaty “contain no rule defining expressly and precisely who are to be entitled to the right to vote and stand as a candidate for the European Parliament”. As a con- senquence, in the current state of community law, the definition of these persons “falls within the competence of each Member State”. The Court pointed out that in the exercise of their competence Member States may not act contrary to EC law and in particular to the principle of equal treatment or…
Ethics of Vulnerability
2016
The chapter begins by showing the facticity of vulnerability in different situations of life. Then, it asserts, as do authors such as Williams, Nagel, MacIntyre or Nussbaum, that western ethics has relegated the vulnerable nature of individuals and has brought to the fore the ideal of self-sufficiency, autonomy, will of power or of agency, when sketching models of good life. But, going beyond that, the question asked, in a third stage, is how to establish a foundation for the moral obligation of protecting vulnerable beings as a requirement of justice, and the chapter presents three relevant answers. Firstly, an ethics of care in the tradition of Hyginus, Heidegger, Boff and the Ethics of E…
Forbidden words in symbolic dynamics
2000
AbstractWe introduce an equivalence relation≃between functions from N to N. By describing a symbolic dynamical system in terms of forbidden words, we prove that the≃-equivalence class of the function that counts the minimal forbidden words of a system is a topological invariant of the system. We show that the new invariant is independent from previous ones, but it is not characteristic. In the case of sofic systems, we prove that the≃-equivalence of the corresponding functions is a decidable question. As a more special application, we show, by using the new invariant, that two systems associated to Sturmian words having “different slope” are not conjugate.
