Anatomia macroscòpica i microscòpica de l'aparell genital femení d'Ophidion barbatum (L.) (Pisces, Ophididae)

S'ha realitzat un estudi de l'anatomia macroscòpica i microscòpica de I'ovari d'Ophidion barbatum (L.) (Pisces, Ophidiidae), utilitzant material recollit per pescadors del port de Blanes (mar català) durant el mes d'octubre de 1985. L'absència d'òrgan copulador en els mascles d'aquesta espècie i la posició de l'orifici nasal anterior, a una certa alçada respecte al llavi superior, ens permet identificar-la com una espècie ovípara, del subordre Ophidioidei, dins de l'ordre Ophidiiformes. L'ovari és únic i continuat caudalment per l'oviducte. Els nombrosos cordons intraovarics que tapien la cavitat augmenten considerablement la superfície germinal. El desenvolupament de l'ovari es correspon amb el tipus asincrònic (Marza, 1938) i la fresa repetida al llarg d'una estació reproductiva més o menys llarga és una estrategia que augmenta la fecunditat, normalment limitada pel volum corporal de la femella. Dins de l'ordre Ophidiiformes, el tipus d'ovari únic sense restes de paret mitjana sembla ser la norma entre les espècies de reproducció ovípara. Aquest fet esta en contradicció amb la teoria de Mendoza (1943) que, fora d'algunes excepcions, l'ovari únic es troba principalment en els teleostis vivípars

A qualitative analysis of immigrant population health practices in the Girona Healthcare Region

The research we present here forms part of a two-phase project - one quantitative and the other qualitative - assessing the use of primary health care services. This paper presents the qualitative phase of said research, which is aimed at ascertaining the needs, beliefs, barriers to access and health practices of the immigrant population in comparison with the native population, as well as the perceptions of healthcare professionals. Moroccan and sub-Saharan were the immigrants to who the qualitative phase was specifically addressed. The aims of this paper are as follows: to analyse any possible implications of family organisation in the health practices of the immigrant population; to ascertain social practices relating to illness; to understand the significances of sexual and reproductive health practices; and to ascertain the ideas and perceptions of immigrants, local people and professionals regarding health and the health system. Methods: qualitative research based on discursive analysis. Data gathering techniques consisted of discussion groups with health system users and semi-structured individual interviews with healthcare professionals. The sample was taken from the Basic Healthcare Areas of Salt and Banyoles (belonging to the Girona Healthcare Region), the discussion groups being comprised of (a) 6 immigrant Moroccan women, (b) 7 immigrant sub-Saharan African women and (c) 6 immigrant and native population men (2 native men, 2 Moroccan men and 2 sub-Saharan men); and the semi-structured interviews being conducted with the following healthcare professionals: (a) 3 gynaecologists, (b) 3 nurses and 1 administrative staff. Results: use of the healthcare system is linked to the perception of not being well, knowledge of the healthcare system, length of time resident in Spain and interiorization of traditional Western medicine as a cure mechanism. The divergences found among the groups of immigrants, local people and healthcare professionals with regard to healthcare education, use of the healthcare service, sexual and reproductive healthcare and reticence with regard to being attended by healthcare personnel of the opposite sex demonstrate a need to work with the immigrant population as a heterogeneous group. Conclusions: the results we have obtained support the idea that feeling unwell is a psycho-social process, as it takes place within a specific socio-cultural situation and spans a range of beliefs, perceptions and ideas regarding symptomology and how to treat it

Els «criteris de visibilització de les dones» en català: límits sintacticosemàntics i discursius

L'objectiu d'aquest article és analitzar els principals criteris que les guies d'estil recomanen per visibilitzar les dones ¿o per fer un ús no sexista del llenguatge¿ des de dos punts de vista: el sintacticosemàntic i el discursiu. Des del punt de vista sintacticosemàntic, s'estudien bàsicament els fenòmens relacionats amb la coordinació, la concordança i la repetició o elisió d'elements (per exemple, especificadors del nom), i la manera com les diferents opcions afecten el significat oracional. Des del punt de vista discursiu, s'analitzen els fenòmens relacionats amb la coreferència; és a dir, la relació entre les diferents maneres d'expressar un mateix referent per mitjà d'elements nominals al llarg del text, i l'efecte que provoquen en el text en conjunt. Amb aquest objectiu, l'estudi analitza des d'un punt de vista qualitatiu les dades proporcionades per un corpus de textos procedents de tres àmbits (polític, administratiu i educatiu) en què s'apliquen sovint aquesta mena de criteris. Paraules clau: català, llenguatge no sexista, visibilització lingüística de les dones, sintaxi, cohesió, coreferència, llenguatge androcèntric, estil. The goal of this article is to analyse the main criteria recommended by style guides aimed at making women more visible or, in other words, to make a non-sexist use of language. I will concentrate on two main aspects: the syntactic-semantic and the discursive. From a syntactic-semantic point of view, the main elements being studied are those related to coordination, agreement and repetition or omission of elements (for instance, noun specifiers), and also the way the different options chosen affect the meaning of the sentence. From a discursive and stylistic point of view, the elements analysed are those related to coreference, that is, the relationship between the different ways of expressing a same referent through different elements in the text, and the effect they produce in the text as a whole. Having this as the main goal, the study analyses from a qualitative point of view the data from a corpus in three different areas (politics, administration and education), which often apply this kind of criteria. Keywords: Catalan, non-sexist language, female linguistic visibility, syntax, cohesion, co-reference, androcentric language, style

Julkisten osakeyhtiöiden toimintakertomustietojen kehittyminen ajalla 2005-2008

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on identifioida julkisten osakeyhtiöiden toimintakertomusta säätelevien normien muutokset vuosien 2005 ja 2008 välillä. Tutkimuksessa kartoitetaan sisältyvätkö kaikki normien edellyttämät tiedot yhtiöiden vuodelta 2008 julkistettuihin toimintakertomuksiin, esiintyykö puutteita joidenkin tiettyjen tietovaatimusten osalta, esiintyykö yhtiöiden toimintakertomuksissa selkeitä laadullisia eroja ja ovatko yhtiöt esittäneet vapaaehtoisesti joitain tietoja jo vuoden 2005 toimintakertomuksissa. Tutkimusaineiston muodostavat Helsingin pörssissä noteerattujen markkinaarvoltaan pienten ja suurten suomalaisten julkisten osakeyhtiöiden toimintakertomukset vuosilta 2005 ja 2008. Tutkimus on laadullinen kuvaileva tapaustutkimus, jolla pyritään keräämään yksityiskohtaista, intensiivistä tietoa sekä suomalaisten julkisten osakeyhtiöiden toimintakertomuksiin kohdistuvista normistomuutoksista tarkastelujaksolla että laadullisista eroavaisuuksista yhtiöiden toimintakertomusten välillä. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että suomalaisten julkisten osakeyhtiöiden toimintakertomuksissa esiintyy edelleen puutteita, vaikka tarkastelujaksolla oli tapahtunut myös selvää parannusta. Toimintakertomuksissa esiintyi selviä yhtiökohtaisia eroavaisuuksia, mutta selkeää eroa ei havaittu pienten ja suurten yhtiöiden toimintakertomusten välillä.

Repensando la relación entre la ley y la violencia hacia las mujeres. Una aproximación a los discursos de los/las agentes del ámbito judicial en relación a la ley integral de violencia de género en España = Rethinking the relationship between law and violence against women. an approach to the juridical agents' discourses in relation to the integral law of gender-based violence

Of the many dimensions of the problem of violence exercised by men toward women in the context of the relations of partner or ex partner, this article deals with the analysis of the discursive productions of the institutional actors that are part of the judicial process. Our intention is to investigate the relationship between criminal law and gender-based violence starting from the implementation of the Law of Integral Gender-based Violence in Spain (LO. 1 / 2004) from a theoretical perspective which includes contributions from social psychology, and socio-legal feminism. We have approached the legal instrument - the Law of Integral Gender-based Violence - through the discourse of legal officers with a perspective that questions the values, so often proclaimed, of universality, objectivity and neutrality of the law
