Salut mental i execució penal

La recerca vol complimentar l’encàrrec de la Secretaria de Serveis Penitenciaris, Rehabilitació i Justícia juvenil, feta al Centre d’Estudis Jurídics i Formació Especialitzada respecte al coneixement de la problemàtica de les persones sotmeses a sancions penals que pateixen algun tipus de trastorn mental. L’interès de la recerca es centra en conèixer l’abast del fenomen de la salut mental en l’execució penal a nivell quantitatiu i conèixer més a fons les característiques i particularitats del col•lectiu afectat, per tal de poder millorar la seva atenció des dels serveis d’execució penal i la seva derivació un cop finalitzat el compliment de la pena o mesura. En la primera part de l’estudi s’aproxima al col•lectiu de persones afectades de trastorns mentals que es troben complint una pena de presó o una mesura de seguretat a Catalunya durant un període determinat de temps. Concretament la mostra la composen els interns penitenciaris de les presons ubicades a les comarques de Barcelona que durant l’any 2005 van passar com a mínim un dia per una unitat de psiquiatria dels centres penitenciaris: CP Homes Barcelona, CP Quatre Camins, CP Brians 1 i la Unitat Hospitalària Penal Penitenciària. També formen part de l’estudi les persones sotmeses a mesures de seguretat de les comarques de Barcelona que estaven d’alta durant l’any 2005. S’analitzen nombroses variables que descriuen aquest col•lectiu i la manera en que s’adapten al compliment de la pena. També es compara aquest grup de persones amb altres col•lectius de penats sense problemes mentals declarats. La segona part de l’estudi recull mitjançant la tècnica Delphi, l’opinió de professionals i experts vinculats al tema de la salut mental i l’execució de penes, a qui s’ha preguntat sobre diverses qüestions clau. Concretament se’ls ha preguntat pel diagnòstic de les persones penades amb trastorns mentals, el seu tractament, les propostes de derivació i les perspectives de futur en aquest tema. S’ha posat especial èmfasi en les previsions i estimacions que fan eles experts sobre les possibilitats futures de la sanitat penitenciària i les propostes de solució i millora dels principals problemes detectats per ells mateixos.

Salud mental y ejecución penal

La investigación recoge la situación de las personas que sufren algún tipo de trastorno mental y se encuentran cumpliendo una medida de ejecución penal, ya sea internamiento en prisión o bien una medida de seguridad. La muestra del estudio la componen las personas que en el año 2005 pasaron como mínimo un día por las unidades psiquiátricas de los centros penitenciarios, o que cumplieron alguna medida de seguridad (en el ámbito territorial de las comarcas de Barcelona). En la segunda parte del estudio, más de un centenar de profesionales y expertos opinan sobre las principales necesidades presentes y futuras de la intervención en salud mental en el mundo de la ejecución penal.

X-chromosome tiling path array detection of copy number variants in patients with chromosome X-linked mental retardation

Background: Aproximately 5–10% of cases of mental retardation in males are due to copy number variations (CNV) on the X chromosome. Novel technologies, such as array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), may help to uncover cryptic rearrangements in X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) patients. We have constructed an X-chromosome tiling path array using bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) and validated it using samples with cytogenetically defined copy number changes. We have studied 54 patients with idiopathic mental retardation and 20 controls subjects. Results: Known genomic aberrations were reliably detected on the array and eight novel submicroscopic imbalances, likely causative for the mental retardation (MR) phenotype, were detected. Putatively pathogenic rearrangements included three deletions and five duplications (ranging between 82 kb to one Mb), all but two affecting genes previously known to be responsible for XLMR. Additionally, we describe different CNV regions with significant different frequencies in XLMR and control subjects (44% vs. 20%). Conclusion:This tiling path array of the human X chromosome has proven successful for the detection and characterization of known rearrangements and novel CNVs in XLMR patients.

Trade-off between formal and informal care in Spain

The remarkable growth of older population has moved long term care to the front ranks of the social policy agenda. Understanding the factors that determine the type and amount of formal care is important for predicting use in the future and developing long-term policy. In this context we jointly analyze the choice of care (formal, informal, both together or none) as well as the number of hours of care received. Given that the number of hours of care is not independent of the type of care received, we estimate, for the first time in this area of research, a sample selection model with the particularity that the first step is a multinomial logit model. With regard to the debate about complementarity or substitutability between formal and informal care, our results indicate that formal care acts as a reinforcement of the family care in certain cases: for very old care receivers, in those cases in which the individual has multiple disabilities, when many care hours are provided, and in case of mental illness and/or dementia. There exist substantial differences in long term care addressed to younger and older dependent people and dependent women are in risk of becoming more vulnerable to the shortage of informal caregivers in the future. Finally, we have documented that there are great disparities in the availability of public social care across regions.

Socio-economic inequalities in reported depression in Spain : a decomposition approach

Recent evidence questions some conventional view on the existence of income-related inequalities in depression suggesting in turn that other determinants might be in place, such as activity status and educational attainment. Evidence of socio-economic inequalities is especially relevant in countries such as Spain that have a limited coverage of mental health care and are regionally heterogeneous. This paper aims at measuring and explaining the degree of socio-economic inequality in reported depression in Spain. We employ linear probability models to estimate the concentration index and its decomposition drawing from 2003 edition of the Spanish National Health Survey, the most recent representative health survey in Spain. Our findings point towards the existence of avoidable inequalities in the prevalence of reported depression. However, besides ¿pure income effects¿ explaining 37% of inequality, economic activity status (28%), education (15%) and demographics (15%) play also a key encompassing role. Although high income implies higher resources to invest and cure (mental) illness, environmental factors influencing in peoples perceived social status act as indirect path as explaining the prevalence of depression. Finally, we find evidence of a gender effect, gender social-economic inequality in income is mainly avoidable.

La Razón frente a la imposición en las estrategias didáctico-propagandísticas del ejército estadounidense durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial: "Why We Fight" de Frank Capra como ejemplo

El presente artículo analiza algunos aspectos de los métodos de formación y propaganda destinados a los sol-dados del ejército estadounidense al enfrentarse a la implicación de su país en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El general George C. Marshall, jefe del alto mando militar, pretendía oponer a los anticuados métodos de instruc-ción basados en la fuerza del hábito corporal, la fuerza del hábito mental. Esta pretensión supuso desplegar un amplio programa que contemplaba, además de la instrucción militar, la formación intelectual y que contaba, para ello, entre otros recursos, con el cine. En este último ámbito, destacó la producción de la serie documen-tal de siete episodios “Why We Fight”. La serie, desde su mismo título, pareció apostar por la argumentación racional antes que por la emocional, para hacer comprensible, a los soldados, la implicaciónde Estados Unidos en la contienda mundial. Sin embargo, más allá de su apariencia retórica, la serie debía funcionar como un efectivo mecanismo de propaganda a favor de los intereses estratégicos del país norteamericano
