El inicio de la vida humana y el alcance de su protección jurídica en la jurisprudencia europea e internacional
2014
The international human rights treaties recognize the right to life, but most of them do not determine if the unborn is within its scope and what the degree of protection. Given this lack of specificity, the interpretation and application of this fundamental right by its supervisory bodies is particularly important. The analysis of existing case law about it - mainly from Europe - will enable us to contribute to the definition of subjective and objective scope of the protection of the unborn.
La herida original de las políticas de inmigración : A propósito del lugar de los derechos humanos en las políticas de inmigración
2002
El artículo plantea algunas condiciones que permitan superar las dos posiciones en las que parece alternativamente preso el debate actual sobre la inmigración: la visión instrumental, torpemente pragmática, y la «humanitaria», anclada en la conmiseración o la piedad. Para alcanzar la dimensión política es preciso superar un análisis de los flujos migratorios erróneo, el que está en la base de ambas posiciones. Y si se supera esa visión, se superarán los actuales instrumentos jurídicos de política de inmigración, que no son acordes con el reconocimiento pleno y la garantía de los derechos humanos fundamentales, pero tampoco con el necesario reconocimiento de la condición de sujeto del espaci…

Politics of Humanitarianism: The Ahmadiyya and the Provision of Social Welfare
2020
Ahmadi Muslims have combined local contributions and financial support from overseas to support various development projects since the 1920s when they started their mission activities in West Africa. The chapter outlines contemporary social welfare activities of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Ghana and Burkina Faso.

A different pattern of risk factors for atopic and non-atopic wheezing in 9-12-year-old children
2005
Few epidemiological studies have compared the risk factors of asthma or wheezing between atopic and non-atopic children. The objective of this study was to determine if there are specific risk factors for current wheezing related to atopic status in schoolchildren. Schoolchildren 9-12 yr of age from three Spanish cities (n = 2720) were subject to a cross-sectional study of asthma risk factors (by questionnaire) and atopy (by skin prick test) according to the ISAAC phase-II protocol. Risk factors for current wheezing (in the last 12 months) as reported by parents were investigated among the atopic (positive prick test to at least one allergen) and the non-atopic (negative prick test) childre…

The following themes emerged: “Here, there and everywhere”, “Doing, being, becoming”, “Talking” and “Order, planning and improvisation” concerning the contradictions service users and professionals m…
Efeitos das práticas verdes na lealdade: proposta de um modelo para o segmento hoteleiro colombiano
2021
Resumen El propósito de este estudio fue analizar la incidencia de las prácticas verdes como impulsoras para generar confianza, satisfacción y lealtad en los huéspedes. Para ello, a partir de una muestra de 302 huéspedes de hoteles en Bogotá, Colombia, se estimó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales a través de la regresión de mínimos cuadrados parciales. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que las prácticas sostenibles contribuyen al aumento de la confianza y la satisfacción de los huéspedes, y que estas, a su vez, influyen positivamente en su lealtad hacia el hotel. Además, dichos resultados ponen de manifiesto que una comprensión más profunda del perfil de los turistas medioambientalment…
Sobre la impertinencia de las políticas austericidas : algunos efectos y reflexiones desde el ámbito de la universidad.
2020
En esta aportación se describirán brevemente cuáles fueron las principales transformaciones en las condiciones de acceso y permanencia en los estudios universitarios que tuvieron lugar a partir de las reformas post- 2012 en un escenario de austeridad en el gasto público. Se parte del más reciente trabajo de investigación de la autora en torno a esta temática y se concluye con el carácter de reajuste clasista a que dichos cambios dieron lugar. En un apartado final se esbozan algunos argumentos que, en el contexto actual de crisis sanitaria y social, refuerzan la valoración de la inoportunidad de ese giro inequitativo en la política universitaria.
