Análisis y estudio del proceso penal en materia de violencia de género: percepción de la mujer víctima

Trabajo fin de máster de "Derecho penal y Política criminal" de la Facultad de DerechoSon muchos los estudios que contemplan la discusión teórica de la violencia de género pero pocos los que recogen su vertiente pragmática. La intervención del sistema penal en materia de violencia de género tiene un lugar particular en el marco legislativo e institucional, con el que se dirige la tutela penal hacia su labor preventiva y sobre todo hacia la protección de la mujer-victima. Este trabajo ofrece una visión empírica de la tutela y protección del sistema legal e institucional brindado a las mujeres maltratadas. Se ha utilizado una metodología cualitativa con entrevistas realizadas a quince mujeres protagonistas de procesos penales de violencia de género. Los resultados reflejan las particularidades del trato institucional que se dispensa a las víctimas a través de su visión

One Last Circle

This article provides insights and thoughts on next steps that arose from research on a multi-year NSF-funded project, Mathematics and Culture In Micronesia: Integrating Societal Experiences (MACIMISE). The ideas come from my dissertation study, which tracked the difficulties, challenges, struggles, and successes of Project MACIMISE participants. Students in the MACIMISE graduate program were from ten participating Pacific islands and island groups (Hawai`i, Pohnpei, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, American Samoa, Kosrae, Chuuk, Guam, Saipan, Yap, and Palau). Informed by participant reports on new understandings about how their island cultures mathematized their world, a sense of urgency about documenting what is left of their cultures\u27 indigenous knowledge before it disappears, and the conflicts and violations they negotiated while trying to embed indigenous mathematical knowledge and practices within primarily Western-modeled educational settings, I report here on my exploration of the concept of ethnomathematics, particularly on its nature and utility

Temporal Variation in Optical Properties of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in Southern California Coastal Waters with Nearshore Kelp and Seagrass

Optical properties of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were measured in surf zone waters in diurnal field studies at a Southern California beach with nearshore kelp and seagrass beds and intertidal plant wrack. Absorption coefficients (aCDOM(300 nm)) ranged from 0.35 m21 to 3.7 m21 with short-term variability\u3c1 h, increases at ebb and flood tides and higher values (6 m21) during an offshore storm event. Spectral slopes (S) ranged from 0.0028 nm21 to 0.017 nm21, with higher values after the storm; S was generally inversely correlated with aCDOM(300 nm). 3-D excitation–emission matrix spectra (EEMs) for samples with lower S values had humic-type peaks associated with terrestrial material (A, C), marine microbial material (M) and protein peaks, characteristic of freshly produced organic material. Samples with high S values had no or reduced protein peaks, consistent with aged material. Fluorescent indexes (f450/f500 \u3e2.5, BIX\u3e1.1) were consistent with microbial aquatic sources. Leachates of senescent kelp and seagrass had protein and humic-type EEM peaks. After solar simulator irradiation (4 h), protein peaks rapidly photochemically degraded, humic-type peak C increased in intensity and peak M disappeared. Optical characteristics of kelp leachates were most similar to field samples, consistent with minimal contributions from sea grass, a small component of the biomass at this site. Increases in aCDOM(300 nm) with decreases in S are attributed to the input of freshly produced autochthonous organic material at ebbing and flooding tides, from exudation and microbial processing of senescent plant wrack and nearshore macroalgal vegetation. Other allochthonous sources are hypothesized to be ground water seepage and terrestrial runoff

Optical Characterization and Distribution of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in Soil Porewater from a Salt Marsh Ecosystem

To characterize chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in marsh porewaters and its contribution as a carbon source, optical properties (absorbance, fluorescence indices, 3-dimensional excitation-emission matrices [EEMs]) of soil porewater and surface water were measured in a southern Californian salt marsh. Absorption coefficients and fluorescence intensities were higher in porewater than in overlying surface waters, consistent with higher CDOM concentration at depth. Humic-type peaks A and C were observed in EEMs in all samples, and peak M was observed in surface waters and shallow porewater to -5 cm depth. Fluorescence:absorbance (flu:abs) ratios and spectral slopes (S) decreased across the surface interface, and emission peak maxima were red-shifted—changes that are consistent with increasing molecular weight (MW) and aromaticity in soil porewater due to humification, and lower-MW, less aromatic material in oxic surface waters from oxidative photochemical and biological processing. At lower depths, bands were observed where intensity, flu:abs ratios and S increased; absorption coefficients decreased; emission maxima for humic-type peaks were blue-shifted; and tryptophan-type protein peaks were observed. These changes are consistent with lower-MW and less aromatic material from enhanced microbial activity. Variations in iron concentrations and sulfate depletion with depth were consistent with these bands having different dominant anaerobic microbial metabolic pathways. Overall, optical property trends suggest that soil porewater is a reservoir of CDOM in the salt marsh, with organic material from terrestrial watershed inputs and in situ production from marsh vegetation stored and processed in sediments

Constructing a Predator Exclusionary Fence to Protect Hawaiian Petrels (Pterodroma sandwichensis) at Hawai῾i Volcanoes National Park

Reports were scanned in black and white at a resolution of 600 dots per inch and were converted to text using Adobe Paper Capture Plug-in.Remnant nesting colonies of endangered Hawaiian Petrels, or ‘Ua’u (Pterodroma sandwichensis), on Mauna Loa, Hawai’i Island, are primarily threatened by feral cats. At Hawai῾i Volcanoes National Park, trapping success has been variable due several challenges, including the difficulty of accessing remote, subalpine (9,000’) sites. To create a core area free from cat predation, the park, with support from multiple partners, constructed a five mile barrier fence encircling 640 acres of the richest known concentration of subalpine Hawaiian Petrel nests on Mauna Loa. We report on key fence design elements, pilot studies, step by step construction details, concurrent and subsequent monitoring, and lessons learned throughout the project for the benefit of other managers considering exclusionary fencing
