Authors: Abay Günseli , Kocaaslan Cemal , Günay Rafet , Doğan Meryem , Demirtaş Mahmut Murat
Published: June 2016

Primary heart tumors are extremely rare and their frequency ranges from approximately 0.01-0.3% in autopsy series. Nearly one quarter of all primary cardiac tumors are malignant tumors such as sarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the second most common malignant primary tumor of the heart following angiosarcoma.
Primary cardiac tumors present with one or more of the symptoms of the classic triad: cardiac symptoms and signs resulting from intracardiac obstruction; signs of systemic embolization; and systemic or constitutional symptoms. The prognosis after surgery is usually excellent in case of benign tumors, but is unfortunately still limited in localized malignant diseases [Butany 2005].
In this case report we present a 45-year-old female patient operated three times in 9 years because of left atrial tumor.
The Chromatin Remodeling ComponentArid1aIs a Suppressor of Spontaneous Mammary Tumors in Mice

Published: June 2016

Human cancer genome studies have identified the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex member ARID1A as one of the most frequently altered genes in several tumor types. Its role as an ovarian tumor suppressor has been supported in compound knockout mice. Here, we provide genetic and functional evidence that Arid1a is a bona fide mammary tumor suppressor, using the Chromosome aberrations occurring spontaneously 3 (Chaos3) mouse model of sporadic breast cancer. About 70% of mammary tumors that formed in these mice contained a spontaneous deletion removing all or part of one Arid1a allele. Restoration of Arid1a expression in a Chaos3 mammary tumor line with low Arid1a levels greatly impaired its ability to form tumors following injection into cleared mammary glands, indicating that ARID1A insufficiency is crucial for maintenance of these Trp53-proficient tumors. Transcriptome analysis of tumor cells before and after reintroduction of Arid1a expression revealed alterations in growth signaling and cell-cycle checkpoint pathways, in particular the activation of the TRP53 pathway. Consistent with the latter, Arid1a reexpression in tumor cells led to increased p21 (Cdkn1a) expression and dramatic accumulation of cells in G2 phase of the cell cycle. These results not only provide in vivo evidence for a tumor suppressive and/or maintenance role in breast cancer, but also indicate a potential opportunity for therapeutic intervention in ARID1A-deficient human breast cancer subtypes that retain one intact copy of the gene and also maintain wild-type TRP53 activity.

Published: June 2016

The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans can reversibly switch between two cell types named “white” and “opaque,” each of which is stable through many cell divisions. These two cell types differ in their ability to mate, their metabolic preferences and their interactions with the mammalian innate immune system. A highly interconnected network of eight transcriptional regulators has been shown to control switching between these two cell types. To identify additional regulators of the switch, we systematically and quantitatively measured white–opaque switching rates of 196 strains, each deleted for a specific transcriptional regulator. We identified 19 new regulators with at least a 10-fold effect on switching rates and an additional 14 new regulators with more subtle effects. To investigate how these regulators affect switching rates, we examined several criteria, including the binding of the eight known regulators of switching to the control region of each new regulatory gene, differential expression of the newly found genes between cell types, and the growth rate of each mutant strain. This study highlights the complexity of the transcriptional network that regulates the white–opaque switch and the extent to which switching is linked to a variety of metabolic processes, including respiration and carbon utilization. In addition to revealing specific insights, the information reported here provides a foundation to understand the highly complex coupling of white–opaque switching to cellular physiology.
Plasticity in the Meiotic Epigenetic Landscape of Sex Chromosomes inCaenorhabditisSpecies
Authors: Larson Braden J , Van Mike V , Nakayama Taylor , Engebrecht JoAnne
Published: June 2016

During meiosis in the heterogametic sex in some species, sex chromosomes undergo meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI), which results in acquisition of repressive chromatin and transcriptional silencing. In Caenorhabditis elegans, MSCI is mediated by MET-2 methyltransferase deposition of histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation. Here we examined the meiotic chromatin landscape in germ lines of four Caenorhabditis species; C. remanei and C. brenneri represent ancestral gonochorism, while C. briggsae and C. elegans are two lineages that independently evolved hermaphroditism. While MSCI is conserved across all four species, repressive chromatin modifications are distinct and do not correlate with reproductive mode. In contrast to C. elegans and C. remanei germ cells where X chromosomes are enriched for histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation, X chromosomes in C. briggsae and C. brenneri germ cells are enriched for histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation. Inactivation of C. briggsae  MET-2 resulted in germ-line X chromosome transcription and checkpoint activation. Further, both histone H3 lysine 9 di- and trimethylation were reduced in Cbr-met-2 mutant germ lines, suggesting that in contrast to C. elegans, H3 lysine 9 di- and trimethylation are interdependent. C. briggsae H3 lysine 9 trimethylation was redistributed in the presence of asynapsed chromosomes in a sex-specific manner in the related process of meiotic silencing of unsynapsed chromatin. However, these repressive marks did not influence X chromosome replication timing. Examination of additional Caenorhabditis species revealed diverse H3 lysine 9 methylation patterns on the X, suggesting that the sex chromosome epigenome evolves rapidly.

RAPID AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DNA EXTRACTION AND PURIFICATION FROM SOIL
Authors: Hamedi J. , Danaiefar M. , Moghimi H.
Published: June 2016

Large proportion of microbial population in the world is unculturable. Extraction of total DNA from soil is usually a crucial step considering to the difficulties of study the uncultivable microorganisms. Humic acid is considered as the main inhibitory agent in the environmental DNA studies. Here, we introduced a rapid and efficient method for DNA extraction and purification from soil. Yield of DNA extraction by the presented method was 130 ng/µl. Three conventional methods of DNA extraction including liquid nitrogen incursion, bead beating and sonication were performed as control methods. Yield of DNA extraction by these methods were 110, 90 and 50 ng/µl, respectively. A rapid and efficient one step DNA purification method was introduced instead of hazardous conventional phenol-chloroform methods. Humic acid removal percentage by the introduced method was 95.8 % that is comparable with 97 % gained by the conventional gel extraction method and yield of DNA after purification was 84 % and 73 %, respectively. This study could be useful in molecular ecology and metagenomics study as a fast and reliable method.

Published: June 2016

Trichoderma viride an anamorph of Hypocrea rufa, is a known bio-control agent against various fungal phytopathogens. In the present study, H. rufa strain P2 was tested for plant growth promoting (PGP) traits and antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Sclerotium rolfsii. In-vitro assessment of H. rufa strain P2 showed maximum IAA production of 68 µg ml-1, solubilised tri-calcium phosphate up to 72 µg ml-1 and showed production of chitinase enzyme 120 U ml-1. In order to determine in-vivo plant growth promotion, talc based formulation of H. rufa strain P2 was prepared and tested on Arachis hypogaea L. using seed and soil application. After 15 days, treated plants showed six-fold increases in the fresh and dry root mass whereas, fresh and dry shoot mass was increased up to two folds. The result indicates the local isolate H. rufa strain P2 can be categorized as phyto-friendly fungi which can be used as both, bio-control agent as well as phyto-augmenting bio-fertilizer.

Published: June 2016

Present study aims to testify usefulness of particular rye SSR markers for the detection of genetic diversity degree in the set of 20 triticale cultivars coming from different European countries. For this purpose, a set of six rye SSR markers were used. The set of six polymorphic markers provided 22 alleles with an average frequency of 3.67 alleles per locus. The number of alleles ranged between 2 (SCM43) and 5 (SCM28, SCM86). Resulting from the number and frequency of alleles diversity index (DI), polymorphic information content (PIC) and probability of identity (PI) were calculated. An average value of PIC for 6 SSR markers was 0.505, the highest value was calculated for rye SSR marker SCM86 (0.706). Based on UPGMA algorithm, a dendrogram was constructed. In dendrogram cultivars were divided into two main clusters. The first cluster contained two cultivars, Russian cultivar Greneder and Slovak cultivar Largus, and second included 18 cultivars. Genetically the closest were two Greek cultivars (Niobi and Thisbi) and were close to other Greek cultivar Vrodi. It was possible to separate triticale cultivars of spring and winter form in dendrogram. Results showed the utility of rye microsatellite markers for estimation of genetic diversity of European triticale genotypes leading to genotype identification.

Published: June 2016

El estudio de la muerte en Costa Rica ha sido abordado por historiadores sobre todo para los siglos XVII, XVIII y por antropólogos para el siglo XX. El siglo XIX no ha sido objeto de estudios profundos que analicen los ritos funerarios y su significado social. En este trabajo se hace una revisión exploratoria con algunas fuentes primarias pero sobre todo con fuentes secundarias, acerca de algunos ritos funerarios católicos característicos del siglo XIX y algunos de los cambios que se dieron en ellos a lo largo del siglo en estudio.

Authors: Vopelius-Feldt Clara von , Wolf Georg , Mueller Ralf S. , Straubinger Reinhard K. , Hartmann Katrin , Dorsch Roswitha
Published: June 2016

Ziel: Ermittlung der Prävalenz prädisponierender Begleiterkrankungen (BE) bei Katzen mit bakteriellen Harnwegsinfektionen (HWI) und der Prävalenz von Bakterienspezies bei verschiedenen BE sowie deren Sensibilität gegenüber den bei HWI häufig eingesetzten Antibiotika Doxycyclin, Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazol (TMS), Amoxicillin-Clavulansäure (AMC), Cephalothin und Enrofloxacin. Material und Methoden: In die retrospektive Studie wurden Katzen mit positiver Urinkultur im Zeitraum 2003–2009 eingeschlossen. Basierend auf den Daten der Krankenakten erfolgte eine Einteilung in vier Gruppen: Katzen mit systemischen prädisponierenden BE, Katzen mit lokalen prädisponierenden BE, Katzen mit Harnblasendauerkathetern (HBDK) und Katzen ohne dokumentierte BE. Zur Ermittlung der wahrscheinlichen Effektivität der Antibiotika wurden deren antimikrobielle Impact-Faktoren berechnet. Ergebnisse: In die Studie gingen 194 Katzen mit 219 bakteriellen Isolaten ein. Davon wiesen 78,4% (152/194) eine BE auf. 49,5% (96/194) hatten eine systemische BE und 28,9% (56/194) hatten eine lokale BE oder einen HBDK. Katzen mit systemischen BE waren signifikant älter als Katzen der anderen Gruppen und häufiger weiblich als Katzen mit lokaler BE und HBDK. Mehr als 50% der Katzen mit systemischer BE zeigten keine klinischen Symptome einer Erkrankung des unteren Harntrakts. Escherichia (E.) coli, gefolgt von Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. und Enterococcus spp. waren die am häufigsten vorkommenden Isolate. Dabei lag der Anteil der E.-coli-Isolate bei Katzen mit systemischer BE signifikant höher, während bei Katzen mit HBDK und Katzen mit anderen lokalen BE der Anteil an Streptococcus- und Staphylococcus-spp.-Isolaten signifikant höher war. Bei Katzen mit lokaler BE und Katzen mit HBDK ergaben sich niedrigere antimikrobielle Impact-Faktoren als bei Katzen der anderen Gruppen. Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz: Ein Großteil der Katzen mit HWI leidet unter einer prädisponierenden BE. Katzen mit systemischer BE zeigen häufig keine Symptome einer Erkrankung des unteren Harntrakts. AMC und TMS waren in dieser Katzenpopulation die Antibiotika mit den höchsten antimikrobiellen Impact-Faktoren.
Student Selected Components - a modern curriculum to complement a systems-based medical degree.
Authors: Killeen Trevor , Skinner Jane , Loke Yoon , Jennings Barbara
Published: June 2016

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. AbstractThe 2009 version of the GMC's Tomorrows Doctors describes student selected components as "an integral part of the curriculum, enabling students to demonstrate mandatory competences while allowing choice in studying an area of particular interest to them". The definition of SSCs and guidance for their delivery and assessment have been interpreted in a variety of ways by individual medical schools and by regional consortia of medical schools. To complement our systems-based MBBS modules we have developed a longitudinal Student Selected Studies (SSS) curriculum which has been reviewed and modified since 2011.Throughout the SSS curriculum, students develop academic skills and competences such as literature review or developing a clinical or research question. In years 1 to 3 these competences are acquired whilst focusing on topics from a given theme of study, for example physiology, pharmacology or ethics. In year 4 the students apply the skills acquired in the earlier years to the evaluation of a case described in their own clinical-placement log-book.In the first three years when students learn how to deliver formal presentations, using PowerPoint, conference-style posters, or anatomy demonstrations, they are given specialist tutor support, and feedback is given in formative assessments; allowing the students to make corrections and refine their skills before summative assessments take place.Our curriculum development has been shaped by the use of a competency-based teaching and assessment strategy with a focus on the student's longitudinal development through the use of a feedforward strategy (Hattie, 2007) during and after formative assessments.
Inside a Radiology Academy – Trainees’ perceptions of new and traditional learning methods
Authors: Ramsden William Hugh
Published: June 2016

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Aim: To investigate trainees' perceptions of learning in both a radiology academy and its associated clinical departments. Materials and Methods: Ten academy trainees participated in semi-structured interviews. All had experienced both academy and clinical work, and had initially spent alternate weeks in each setting, but this was changed to three days clinical each week prior to the study. Their responses were analysed for themes and issues which might give particular insights into combining academy and clinical learning. Results: Alternating between the academy and clinical departments was universally disliked because of a perceived lack of continuity in training. This was felt to inhibit both learning and development of working relationships. Introducing three days' clinical experience each week was seen as an improvement. Participants suggested synchronising academy teaching with clinical training was challenging, particularly in respect of support during diverse departmental attachments. As a result, academy and clinical learning were perceived as poorly integrated. Many trainees saw academy e-learning as a secondary source of information, and preferred books. However, skills lab training in sonography was perceived as relevant, realistic and well supervised. Clinical placements were praised for similar reasons, with trainees emphasising their desire to undertake responsible work, influence patient care, and join the departmental team. Conclusions: Trainees felt that lack of continuity was a major inhibitor in their learning, in terms of both alternating locations and difficulty with synchronising academy and clinical teaching. Although some academy teaching methods were praised, improving integration between academy and clinical training remains a major issue.

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. The regulations regarding the expected conduct of medical students in Shariati hospital's surgery ward have not been updated to match current day standards. Working hours are always discussed in light of the patient's wellness versus the physician's fatigue, however, there is no study about the effects of working hours on medical education. Medical students work 8 hours per day and they are encouraged to attend morning classes after finishing their "on-call" shifts. Instead of learning in class, they should study their educational material on their own. "On call" students may remain in the hospital to attend classes. However, no more work should be expected from these students. The working hours should be scheduled to enhance the students' learning and to strengthen the medical educational environment. The faculty should consider the safety of the students in their policies. Medical students should wear comfortable and appropriate clothing, including white coats. Students should be viewed and treated as members of the surgical team. Students should be asked to prepare and present a 15-minute report in the journal club. Moreover, they should participate in all seminars and educational programs. Finally, medical students have a flexible curriculum in the surgical ward, and these regulation are subject to change according to circumstances.
Depth evolution of mechanical properties of fugitive dust cemented by microbe cement based on carbon dioxide capture and utilisation
Authors: Zhan Qiwei , Qian Chunxiang
Published: June 2016

Fugitive dust, which was cemented with microbe cement based on carbon dioxide capture and utilisation, was prepared and the evolution of mechanical properties over the sample depth was investigated. The microstructure of samples at different depths was analysed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The calcite content and hardness of samples at different depths were also verified. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction evolution and cross-section evolution of porosity at different depths were demonstrated by X-ray computed tomography. The experimental results indicate that calcite could be formed at different depths with the use of microbe cement. Compared with the structure of the lower region of the sample, fugitive dust particles cemented with microbe cement in the upper region were found to be more dense, of lower porosity and with more calcite formed. The calcite content and hardness significantly decreased with an increase in sample depth: at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mm, the respective calcite content was 10·51%, 8·32%, 4·93% and 1·70% and the hardness was 18·2 GPa, 17·1 GPa, 10·9 GPa and 3·6 GPa. 3D reconstructions and cross-section evolutions of porosity at different depths indicate that the inner structure of the sample was not uniform, with the structure of the upper region better than that of the sample bottom. With an increase in sample depth, pores and cracks in the cross-section significantly increased.
Effects of suffusion in embankment dam filters
Authors: Rönnqvist Hans , Viklander Peter
Published: June 2016

This study investigates how varying degrees of internal instability of silt–sand–gravel soils affect the grading characteristics due to suffusion. Suffusion is an initiation mechanism of internal erosion, which is a major cause of the failure of embankment dams. A database comprising gradations representative of those used for embankment dam filters has been compiled. Three are based on downward seepage tests by the authors and the remaining 23 are based on reported results of tests published by others. These 26 gradations are cohesionless sand–gravel soils and silt–sand–gravel soils with < 15% fines, some of which have slightly plastic fines. Internal stability is evaluated using two empirical criteria for shape analysis of the particle size distribution curve. By relating the internal stability to typical grading characteristics, the effects of internal instability are determined. Gradually, more severe effects are observed as the internal instability increases. For clearly unstable soils, with a stability index (H/F)min < 0·5 and a probability of internal instability pinitial > 70%, the effective grain size D15 is increased, on average, by a factor of 9 relative to its initial value. Coarsening of a critical filter to an impervious dam core may adversely affect the filter's protective ability.
Thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis of a full-scale heating test
Authors: Jacinto Abel Carlos , Ledesma Alberto
Published: June 2016

This paper describes the performance, observations and interpretation of the Temperature Buffer Test, a full-scale field experiment simulating repository conditions for high-level radioactive waste. The overall objective of the project was to investigate how well the bentonite buffer blocks can endure the high temperatures expected to be found around vitrified waste canisters. In the experiment, two individually powered heaters were emplaced vertically on top of each other in a pit excavated in crystalline rock and simulated the heat production of radioactive waste. The heaters were surrounded by bentonite hollow cylindrical blocks (the buffer). Extensive instrumentation of the test gave information about the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of the near-field region constituted by the compacted bentonite buffer surrounding the heater and the immediately crystalline bedrock. Interpretation of experimental results was assisted by the performance of a coupled numerical analysis based on a formulation that incorporates the relevant THM phenomena. Special attention was paid to the progress of hydration in the barrier, to the effects of heating and vapour transport and to the development of swelling pressures in the barrier. The analysis has proven the capability of the numerical formulation to provide reasonable predictive capacity of the main physical processes involved.

El deseo sexual, la fantasía narcisista y la violencia
Authors: Ortiz de Zárate Amaya
Published: June 2016

La  construcción  de  una  representación  simbólica  de  lo  femenino  es  uno  de  los problemas urgentes de la cultura de nuestro tiempo. Las relaciones amorosas ponen en juego todas las fantasías en las que se sostiene la identidad intersubjetiva: comunicativa: dual. Pero afrontar la relación sexual supone antes o después ser defraudado por el objeto fascinante puesto en juego en el escenario de la seducción. Saber atravesar ese momento es el saber propio de lo femenino en el lance del cortejo. La mujer cita y se ofrece como objeto de deseo, consciente de que lo que ofrece al yo es la muerte. Si lo consigue, el deseo narcisista atraviesa el espejo y el Sujeto puede hacer una experiencia del Otro real -el otro sexo. Si fracasa, el amante capturado en el juego de reflexión de los espejos, puede optar por quebrarlo.

Palabras Clave:

Abstract

The construction of a symbolic representation of the feminine is an urgent task our culture is required to face up. Love relationships cause all fantasies supporting communicative, dual intersubjectivity to come into play. Yet, facing up sexual relations results, soon or later, in the disappointment about the fascinating object staged within the seduction secene. How to manage to go through such situation is a distinctive knowledge belonging to feminine that intervenes in courtship. Being aware that they offer the Ego the Death, women incite, and offer themselves as being the object of desire. If they succeed, then the narcissistic desire will cross the mirror, and it will be possible for the Subject to experience the real Other, i.e., the other sex. If she fails, the lover, captured in the net of mirror reflections, may opt to break the mirror.
¿Por qué no me dejaron?: experiencias de las mujeres en sus partos
Authors: Montes Muñoz María Jesús
Published: June 2016

La casi totalidad de las mujeres acuden a los hospitales para realizar sus partos. Aunque estamos asistiendo a un proceso de concienciación respecto a sus derechos, en las relaciones que ellas establecen con los/as profesionales, se siguen dando experiencias traumáticas en grados diferentes para las mujeres y que recojo con el término “maltrato institucional”. Desde una perspectiva de género analizo las diferentes formas de maltrato que relataron diez mujeres que tuvieron sus partos entre los años 2003-2006 y que, a mi modo de ver, son el reflejo de la situación social real en que se nos posiciona a las mujeres en nuestro contexto.

Almost all women go to hospitals to carry out their deliveries. While we are witnessing a process of awareness of their rights, the relationships they establish with the / as professionals, are still traumatic experiences to varying degrees for women and pickup with the term "institutional abuse". From a gender perspective I analyze the different forms of abuse that mentioned ten women who had their deliveries between the years 2003-2006 and, in my view, are a reflection of the actual social situation we are positioned as women in our context.
Los trabajos femeninos en el "oikos" de la Grecia Clásica: la madre, la cuidadora, la administradora
Authors: Fernández García Verónica
Published: June 2016

La vida de las mujeres en la Grecia Clásica tenía lugar fundamentalmente en el seno del oikos, la casa griega. Y, especialmente, en la zona reservada a ellas, el gineceo. A
menudo vivían allí las abuelas, las madres, las nietas,... junto con las sirvientas, las esclavas y los niños pequeños. En estas habitaciones hacían sus trabajos: cuidar de los hijos, de los bebés, hasta que cumplían siete años, cuidaban a los enfermos, asistían a los muertos, tejían e hilaban y administraban la casa y a los trabajadores domésticos.
Así pasaban todo el tiempo, con un trabajo que dependía de los hombres, pero que era mucho más importante de lo que estos llegaron a conocer nunca.

Women’s life in Ancient Greece mainly took place within oikos, the greek house, and especially in the area reserved to them, the gynaeceum. Grandmothers, mothers and
granddaughters often lived there,... along with servants, slaves and little children. In these rooms they carried out their work: looking after children, babies, until the age of
seven, caring the sick people, attending the dead people, weaving and spinning and managing the house and houseworkers. Thus they spent all the time fulfilling jobs that depended on men, but which were much more important than greek men ever thought

El fin de la dictadura en España trajo consigo un cambio legislativo en el que se recogía el principio de igualdad reconocido por la Constitución. La legislación laboral eliminó
la discriminación favoreciendo los mismos derechos para los trabajadores independientemente de su sexo. Sin embargo, en la práctica, continuaron existiendo las
diferencias según el trabajador fuera hombre o mujer. La actuación sindical, estuvo más preocupada por los problemas económicos y políticos que por las reivindicaciones específicas femeninas, siempre relegadas para otro momento.

The end of dictatorship in Spain brought along a legislative change, in which was included the principle of equality, recognized by the Spanish Constitution. Labor laws
eliminated discrimination favoring the same rights for all workers regardless the gender. However, discriminatory measures based on the sex of workers continued. Trade-unions were more concerned with political and economic issues than specific female claims, which were always put off.

En este artículo se estudia la trayectoria laboral de las mujeres canarias en las últimas cuatro décadas. Se atiende a las diferencias de género y se hace un análisis comparativo con la situación laboral del resto de las mujeres españolas. Todo esto resulta novedoso,
especialmente si consideramos que el comportamiento laboral de las canarias ha permanecido excluido de las investigaciones sobre la situación laboral de las españolas.
El artículo también refleja hasta qué punto el proceso de modernización experimentado en al archipiélago canario ha incidido sobre las pautas laborales de las mujeres, y cómo
su incidencia se ha manifestado en los comportamientos entre las diferentes generaciones.

It presents the results of differences between genders and makes a comparing analysis of the labour situation on the remainder of Spanish women. All of this is brand new, especially if we considerer that the working behaviour of canary women had been
excluded from the researches about the labour situation of the Spanish women in general. Moreover, the article reflects how effective was the process of modernisation
experienced in the Canary Islands in influence the working behaviour of women and how these effects appeared in the behaviour of different generations.
La emergencia del "coaching" como profesión en un contexto laboral de oportunidad y vulnerabilidad
Authors: Gorroño Arregui Idoia
Published: June 2016

En este texto se reflexiona acerca de los cambios y paradojas que están teniendo lugar en el mundo del trabajo, las organizaciones y los profesionales. Es este contexto, en el que el trabajo incorpora las emociones como competencia, el que puede posibilitar la
emergencia del coaching como profesión en España. En primer lugar, se abordará la paradoja de la era flexible como oportunidad y vulnerabilidad para los profesionales. En segundo lugar, las competencias emocionales como ventaja competitiva y éstas, a su vez, como riesgo. En tercer lugar, el límite cada vez más difuso entre el ámbito laboral y doméstico para, finalmente, subrayar algunas contradicciones en torno a las relaciones de género en las organizaciones. En este transito entre la vulnerabilidad y la oportunidad en el contexto organizativo emerge el ámbito de intervención del coaching, que acompaña a las personas y profesionales en el desarrollo de sus habilidades y
competencias con el propósito de aumentar su rendimiento y calidad de vida.

This paper reflects on the changes and paradoxes that are taking place in the labor world, in the organizations and in the professionals. It is this context, in which the labor
incorporates emotions and communication skills as competences that may enable the emergence of coaching as a profession in Spain. Firstly, we will address the paradox of the flexible era as an opportunity and vulnerability to the professionals. Secondly, emotional competencies as competitive advantage and, in turn, as a risk. Thirdly, the increasingly diffuse boundary between the workplace and home, to finally highlight some contradictions about gender relations in organizations.
El "care", un debate abierto: de las políticas de tiempos al "social care"
Authors: Martín Palomo María Teresa
Published: June 2016

La forma en que se definen los cuidados varía de unos estudios a otros, lo que, en consecuencia, tiene sus implicaciones tanto en la investigación como en las políticas
que derivan de los diferentes enfoques. En el artículo se propone una reflexión a partir del prolífero e inacabado debate sobre el „care’ que está desarrollándose en los últimos años en el entorno europeo. En primer lugar, se exploran las posibilidades que presenta la herramienta conceptual „domesticación del trabajo‟ para analizar la complejidad que presentan los cuidados para su análisis, así como su especificidad al incorporar además de los aspectos materiales, los aspectos afectivos y los morales. En segundo lugar, se revisa la noción care en tanto que permite incorporar en el análisis las tres dimensiones
anteriormente señaladas (materialidad, moral y emociones). En tercer lugar, se revisa la propuesta del modelo social care como una forma de pensar sobre la responsabilidad moral y política de los cuidados, así como el valor social (reconocimiento) que éstos tienen. Frente a las políticas de conciliación, que han tenido, como efecto paradójico, la consagración de la doble jornada para las mujeres, el modelo social care revisa la forma en que se organizará la provisión social del care implicando a los diferentes actores sociales, entroncando así con las propuestas realizadas desde los años 80 sobre políticas de tiempos. Todo ello implica un replanteamiento de la responsabilidad moral y política de los cuidados. El debate está abierto.

The way in which care is defined, varies from one study to another, and in consequence, has its implications both in the research as in the policies that arise from the different
approaches. On the article, a reflection is proposed starting from the prolific and unfinished debate about „care‟ which has taken place in the last years in Europe. First of all, we explore the possibilities of the theoretical tool  domestication of work”, whereas it constitutes a useful conceptual proposal to rethink the different types of work, as well as the social value that they have, when incorporating, besides the material aspects, the emotional and moral dimensions. Secondly, it is explored the notion of care, while it allows to include in its analysis the three dimensions previously indicated (material, moral and emotions). Finally, the model of social care is proposed as a form of reflection about the moral responsibility of care and its social value (recognition).
Confronting the conciliation policies that have produced, paradoxically, the adoption of the double work turn for women, the social care model re-examines the way in which the social provision of care will be organised, involving the different social actors, thus connecting with the proposals made since the 80‟s about time policies. All this implies to rethink the moral and political responsibility of care. The debate is open.

 
Desigualdades de género en la medicación: un tortuoso recorrido por el Vademécum
Authors: Pérez González Lourdes
Published: June 2016

Análisis de las diferencias de género en la medicalización —entendida como la apropiación de parcelas de la vida cotidiana por el ámbito médico/farmacéutico— y sus repercusiones en la vida y la salud de las mujeres. Este análisis utiliza como referencia fundamental el Vademécum, base de datos que nos ha permitido la búsqueda de los fármacos (centrándonos en los efectos adversos y las interacciones) que se expiden sin receta y están destinados fundamentalmente, o únicamente, a las mujeres ―sanas

Analysis of gender differences in medicalization - understood as the appropriation of daily life areas by the medical/pharmaceutical field - and their impact on women’s health and lives. This study relies on the Vademecum as the main reference, database that has allowed us the search of drugs (focusing on the adverse effects and the interactions) that are given without a prescription and are basically, or only, addressed to ―healthy‖ women.
Efectos del aborto clandestino en la subjetividad de las mujeres: resultados de una investigación cualitativa en Uruguay
Authors: López Gómez Alejandra , Carril Berro Elina
Published: June 2016

La dimensión subjetiva implicada en el proceso de aborto voluntario en contextos de ilegalidad y penalización ha sido escasamente explorada. Cuando un aborto se produce en la clandestinidad es, por definición, un aborto inseguro, independientemente de las condiciones sanitarias en el cual éste tenga lugar. El contexto de ilegalidad y penalización se transforma en un texto que determina la experiencia y sus resultados médicos, psicológicos, familiares, sociales y jurídicos. El estudio se realizó en base a un diseño cualitativo con entrevistas en profundidad a mujeres que abortaron clandestinamente en los últimos 15 años en Uruguay. Los hallazgos permitieron conocer los factores subjetivos asociados a las experiencias de aborto en un contexto, como el uruguayo, donde la práctica es tipificada como delito por la ley vigente en el país.

The subjective dimension involved in the process of voluntary abortion in contexts of illegality and criminalization hasn't been studied in depth. A clandestine abortion is, by definition, an unsafe abortion, regardless of the sanitary conditions under which it takes place. The context of illegality and criminalization turns into a text that determines the experience and the medical, psychological, family, social and legal outcome. The study was carried out on the basis of a qualitative design with in-depth interviews to women who underwent clandestine abortions in the past 15 years in Uruguay. The findings allowed for the discovery of the subjective factors associated to abortion experiences in a context, such as the Uruguayan, where the practice is defined as a crime by the law in force.

Authors: Cao Torija María José , Castro Alija María José , Santo Tomás Pérez Magdalena
Published: June 2016

Planteamos en el presente artículo una revisión de la incidencia, los principales factores de riesgo cardiovascular, y manifestaciones diferenciales de estas enfermedades entre mujeres y hombres por una parte desde el punto de vista biológico y por otra, y generalmente más olvidada desde el punto de vista del género, entendido como construcción social de lo femenino y lo masculino y poder así elaborar algunas conclusiones respecto a la prevención en general y específicamente en las mujeres.

We propose in this article a review of the incidence, major cardiovascular risk factors, and differential signs of these diseases between women and men, on the one hand from the biological point of view and, on the other hand, and more generally neglected, from the point of view of the gender, understood as a social construction of the feminine and the masculine, and thus be able to draw some conclusions about prevention in general and specifically in women.
Feminismo y discapacidad
Authors: Sánchez Tierra José Luis
Published: June 2016

Históricamente se ha asociado la discapacidad a lo defectuoso, lo imperfecto, etc. La sociedad, lejos de asumir el problema de la discapacidad, lo redujo al ámbito de lo individual, negándose a asumir la parte de la responsabilidad que le corresponde. Mientras, filósofos y científicos, en su búsqueda de la ―universalidad‖, ante el problema de la discapacidad, profirieron la acusación de marginal, acuñando el término ―normal‖ como base paradigmática de una pseudociencia patriarcal que, de forma paralela, imprimía en la mujer la imagen de lo naturalmente incompleto e incapacitado, inferior al hombre en inteligencia y moral, relegándola a labores asistenciales. Algunos enfoques feministas, reconociendo paralelismos con el problema de la discapacidad, lejos de ignorarlo, lo asumen, saliendo beneficiados, al optar por la liberación y la inclusión en sus más amplias cotas.

Historically, disability was associated to defective, imperfect, etc. The society, far from assume the problem of disability, reduced it to the scope of the individual, refusing to assume the part of responsibility that it‘s entitled. Meanwhile, philosophers and scientists, in their search of the ―universality‖, before the problem of the disability, uttered the charge of marginal, coining the term ―normal‖ as a paradigmatic basis of a patriarchal pseudoscience that, in a parallel way, printed on woman the image of naturally incomplete and disabled, inferior to man in intelligence and morals, relegating her to care work. Some feminist approaches, recognizing parallelisms with the problem of disability, far from ignoring, assume it, being better off with it, by opting for liberation and inclusion in their broadest dimensions.
Homoparentalidad y accesi a la subjetivación y salud mental de los hijos: reflexiones desde el psicoanálisis
Authors: Doménech Delgado Blanca L.
Published: June 2016

El artículo aborda cuestiones relativas a la homoparentalidad y sus implicaciones para la salud mental de los hijos. Desde el psicoanálisis se relaciona la psicosis con la reducción de la estructura familiar a la vinculación madre-hijo, con la exclusión del padre y con la negación de la diferencia sexual, pero es menester reflexionar qué se entiende por padre, madre o por funciones paterna y materna. Aunque la familia se soporta en elementos biológicos, sin embargo, la biología no explica la familia. Lo que nos constituye realmente como humanos no es la familia sino la “familiarización”, la forma en que se traban los primeros vínculos y la forma en que la cultura limita y ordena esas primeras interrelaciones. La salud mental depende de la forma en que se interiorice la ley que pone coto al goce entre el adulto y el niño y ubica a cada miembro en una posición determinada. No es la diferencia anatómica de los padres o la heterosexualidad la que da garantías de salud mental. No es, por tanto, el tipo de elección del objeto de amor de los padres lo que determina la salud mental de los hijos.

The article deals with homo-parental related questions and its implications in children’s mental health. From psychoanalytic viewpoint, psychosis is connected to the reduction in family structure to a mother-child bond, the exclusion of the father and a denial of sexual difference. However, it is necessary to meditate over what is understood by the concepts “father” or “mother”, as well as by paternal or maternal functions. Despite the fact that family is sustained on biological elements, however, biology cannot fully explain it. Family doesn’t define us as human beings, but rather “familiarization”- the pattern of the first family bonds and the manner in which culture limits and orders them. Mental health is conditioned by the assimilation of the law that restricts the Jouissance between adult and child and places each member at a concrete position. It is not determined by either anatomical differences between parents or heterosexuality. Therefore, the parents’ choice of their object of love does not influence their children’s mental health.
