1. La violencia de género en la relación de pareja: ¿una cuestión no perceptible en la vida cotidiana? - Martínez Q., Lucía W.
La violación de los derechos humanos afecta tanto a hombres como a mujeres, pero la permanencia de estructuras culturales y la inequidad en las relaciones de poder y de control permiten caracterizar a la violencia contra la mujer como una violencia de género. La escasa información estadística y conceptual sobre la violencia de género, considerada como conducta socialmente aceptada, hace difícil su comprensión y magnitud, por lo tanto, la investigación se centra en detectar y analizar la prevalencia de la violencia de género en la relación de pareja. La muestra de estudio corresponde a las mujeres estudiantes de la Carrera...

2. Socially stable matchings in the hospitals / residents problem - Askalidis, G.; Immorlica, N.; Kwanashie, A.; Manlove, D.F.; Pountourakis, E.
In the Hospitals/Residents (HR) problem, agents are partitioned into hospitals and residents. Each agent wishes to be matched to an agent in the other set and has a strict preference over these potential matches. A matching is stable if there are no blocking pairs, i.e., no pair of agents that prefer each other to their assigned matches. Such a situation is undesirable as it could lead to a deviation in which the blocking pair form a private arrangement outside the matching. This however assumes that the blocking pair have social ties or communication channels to facilitate the deviation. Relaxing the...

3. Libro: Parsons hoy - Alasino, Nadia
En el campo de las ciencias sociales, quien desea investigar un problema en profundidad se siente siempre obligado a realizar un pasaje por los orígenes que conformaron la base de la disciplina, ya que en éstos encuentra una riqueza de hipótesis, de atisbos, de ambigüedades, que los convierte en una fuente inagotable de inspiración y de invención (De Ípola, 2004). Es por esta razón que en el análisis sociológico encontramos un interés constantemente renovado por la obra de los convencionalmente considerados clásicos (Girola, 1999). Parsons hoy es el reflejo de este interés, centrado en la obra que representa uno de...

4. Opportunistic earnings manipulation among bankrupt unlisted firms: How and when they do that - Campa, Domenico; Camacho Miñano, María del Mar
Firms� bankruptcy is a problem not only related to companies but also affects social welfare. Analysing a matched sample of bankrupt and healthy unlisted companies from a code law institutional setting (Spain), this paper has three main objectives: it aims to demonstrate that bankrupt firms are more keen to manage financial statements in comparison with their nonbankrupt pairs; it investigates when and what practices they use; finally, it provides empirical evidence across time and sectors. Using proxies of sale and production cost manipulation, the results highlight upwards earnings manipulation among Spanish bankrupt firms in comparison with healthy ones, starting at...

6. The Effect of the National School Lunch Program on Childhood Obesity - Cho, Yongwon
Childhood obesity has been recognized as not only a personal disease, but also as a social problem inducing government development of policies to address the childhood obesity problem. Since the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been one of the most important nutrition supplement programs for children, the government has tried to solve the childhood obesity problem through the NSLP.We set a goal of the pa- per as investigating theoretical relationship between the NSLP and the children’s BMI and establishing support for a new school lunch program policy emphasizing quality of foods to reduce the childhood obesity epidemic. To develop an e¢ cient nutrition sup- plement policy on...

7. Spatially Explicit Dynamically Optimal Provision of Ecosystem Services: An Application to Biological Control of Soybean Aphid - Yun, Seong Do; Gramig, Benjamin M.
Grass conservation plantings (CP) are regularly installed as filter strips to supply water quality benefits and provide wildlife habitat, but these CPs also provide other agroecosystem services, including pest control which may reduce the need for insecticide spraying. This research extends previous work (Zhang and Swinton, 2009), by developing a multi-year space-time optimization problem as a dynamic bioeconomic model. The suggested model is applied to the problem of controlling Soybean Aphids in Newton County, Indiana. The previous literature is expanded in four major ways: the objective function is formulated as the social planner’s problem to reflect externalities, stochastic arrival of...

9. Individualized or non-individualized IDM: What elicits consumer preferences best? - Langena, Nina; Klink, Jeanette; Hartmann, Monika
In this paper we measure consumers’ preferences for different (ethical) product attributes by questionnaires and compare the results to the ones obtained using an individualized and a nonindividualized Information Display Matrix (IDM). The latter contains only those attributes the respective respondent stated to be important for her purchase decision. The products considered in our study are ham and coffee. The findings first confirm that the IDM is able to reduce social desirability effects, a problem which likely is of relevance in surveys investigating the relevance of ethical product characteristics. Second, using sequence analysis we show that the intensity of the information search process is significantly higher in...

11. Etnodiscriminación hacia el afrovenezolano en la educación secundaria - González Silva, Freddy
La etnodiscriminación hacia el afrovenezolano es una realidad que se viene explorando en diferentes estudios realizados en Venezuela. Hasta el presente, las investigaciones habían abordado la temática desde un punto de vista predominantemente cognitivo; fueron detectados indicios de discriminación en las creencias, actitudes, opiniones y algunas otras manifestaciones no visibles. En este trabajo se plantea que la discriminación étnica también presenta manifestaciones externas que pueden ser percibidas en las conductas cotidianas propias de la interacción social de los adolescentes. Explicitar el problema no ha sido fácil debido a las múltiples señales presentes en la interacción social y a todo lo...

12. Conhecer, tratar e combater a “peste branca” : a tisiologia e a luta contra a tuberculose em Portugal (1853-1975) - Vieira, Ismael Cerqueira
A presente dissertação de Doutoramento em História visa compreender como se desenvolveu um saber médico e científico próprio em torno da tuberculose e como se estruturou e concretizou a luta contra a tuberculose em Portugal entre 1853 e 1975. Durante o século XIX, a tuberculose tornou-se numa das doenças com maiores taxas de morbilidade e de mortalidade no mundo ocidental. Em Portugal, o despertar para o problema médico e social da tuberculose foi crescendo a partir da segunda metade da centúria de Oitocentos, devido ao interesse dos médicos pelo estudo desta doença e pela organização e concretização dum plano de...

13. Step-Up: Promoting Youth Mental Health and Development in Inner-City High Schools - Alicea, Stacey; Pardo, Gisselle; Conover, Kelly; Gopalan, Geetha; McKay, Mary
African American and Latino youth who reside in inner-city communities are at heightened risk for compromised mental health, as their neighborhoods are too often associated with serious stressors, including elevated rates of poverty, substance abuse, community violence, as well as scarce youth-supportive resources, and mental health care options. Many aspects of disadvantaged urban contexts have the potential to thwart successful youth development. Adolescents with elevated mental health needs may experience impaired judgment, poor problem-solving skills, and conflictual interpersonal relationships, resulting in unsafe sexual behavior and drug use. However, mental health services are frequently avoided by urban adolescents who could gain...

14. Multicultural Mastery Scale for Youth: Multidimensional Assessment of Culturally Mediated Coping Strategies - Fok, Carlotta Ching Ting; Allen, James; Henry, David; Mohatt, Gerald V.;
Self-mastery refers to problem-focused coping facilitated through personal agency. Communal mastery describes problem solving through an interwoven social network. This study investigates an adaptation of self- and communal mastery measures for youth. Given the important distinction between family and peers in the lives of youth, these adaptation efforts produced Mastery-Family and Mastery-Friends subscales, along with a Mastery-Self subscale. We tested these measures for psychometric properties and internal structure with 284 12 to 18-year-old predominately Yup’ik Eskimo Alaska Native adolescents from rural, remote communities — a non-Western culturally distinct group hypothesized to display higher levels of collectivism and communal mastery. Results...

18. Survey of living conditions of Arctic indigenous peoples - Kruse, Jack; Poppel, Birger; Abryutina, Larissa; Duhaime, Gerard; Martin, Stephanie; Poppel, Mariekathrine; Kruse, Margaret; Ward, Ed; Cochran, Patricia; Hanna, Virgene
Major findings of the Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic (SLiCA) are: (1) A combination of traditional activities and cash employment is the prevailing lifestyle of Arctic indigenous peoples; (2) family ties, social support of each other, and traditional activities have a lot to do with why indigenous people choose to remain in Arctic communities; (3) well-being is closely related to job opportunities, locally available fish and game, and a sense of local control. Well-being and depression (and related problems like suicide) are flip sides of the same coin. Improving well-being may reduce social problems; and, (4) health conditions...

19. Reactive attachment disorder in the general population: a hidden ESSENCE disorder - Pritchett, R.; Pritchett, J.; Marshall, E.; Davidson, C.; Minnis, H.
Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a severe disorder of social functioning. Previous research has shown that children with RAD may have poor cognitive and language abilities; however, findings mainly come from biased, institutionalised samples. This paper describes the characteristics of all children who were given a suspected or likely diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder in an epidemiological study of approximately 1,600 children investigating the prevalence of RAD in the general population. We found that children with RAD are more likely to have multiple comorbidities with other disorders, lower IQs than population norms, more disorganised attachment, more problem behaviours, and poorer...

20. Las políticas sociales durante la transición hacia la democracia en perspectiva comparada - Iatco, Mariana
Esta investigación está dirigida a entender y analizar un fenómeno extremadamente complejo y multidimensional como es la política social. La política social, nacida como una forma del control social de la población mediante la promoción del bienestar, ha tenido la finalidad de la estabilidad y la paz social. Independiente de las motivaciones, bien sea humanitarias, de justicia social, de amortiguación de los conflictos generados por el capitalismo o incluso de conservación del poder por parte del partido dominante, y de los factores que la han impulsado, como, por ejemplo, movimientos sociales, el obrero o el feminista, partidos políticos, grupos de...
