TL;DR: In this article, a papel que juega the imagen estereotipada de a mujer musulmana in the vehiculacion del rechazo hacia el Islam, presente in las sociedades occidentales actuales y en Cataluna, is presented.
Abstract: Durante la primera decada del siglo XXI ha aumentado la importancia que se ha dado en la esfera publica al fenomeno llamado “inmigracion”. La diferencia cultural que se ha proyectado sobre los colectivos “inmigrantes” ha sido representada progresivamente en terminos de conflicto y amenaza para la cohesion social. Esta representacion ha tenido mayor incidencia sobre los colectivos de religion musulmana y en Espana muy particularmente sobre las personas de origen magrebi, los “moros”. Por otro lado los ataques terroristas a Estados Unidos, Gran Bretana y Espana, han dado lugar en Europa a manifestaciones de rechazo hacia los musulmanes. Nuestro primer objetivo es mostrar el papel que juega la imagen estereotipada de la mujer musulmana en la vehiculacion del rechazo hacia el Islam, presente en las sociedades occidentales actuales y en Cataluna y subrayar la importancia de los medios de comunicacion social en la propagacion e incluso la construccion de esta imagen. En segundo lugar pretendemos mostrar como la recepcion de los estereotipos por parte de las mujeres musulmanas puede ser subvertido y modificado por ellas, y como estas no pueden ofrecer nuevos caminos para representarlas mas alla de la vieja dicotomia oriente occidente

TL;DR: The femur of a patient autopsied 11 years ago is presented in which an osteophyte comparable to the one of the Pithecanthropus Erectus femur can be observed, and it is assumed that thepithe canthropus erectus suffered a bone fluorosis of the type of the Periostitis deformans, which would be the first disease known in man.
Abstract: The femur of a patient autopsied 11 years ago is presented in which an osteophyte comparable to the one of the Pithecanthropus Erectus femur can be observed. Their analogous anatomopathological disposition is due to the fact that both are caused by the ossification of the tendinous insertion of the adductors of the thigh. The orifices they both present correspond to the channel of the perforating arteries which normally pierce them. This type of osteophyte is only present as a result of bone fluorosis. The autopsied patient presents a bone fluorosis of the Periostitis deformans' type, as described by the author in 1952. The femur of the Pithecanthropus was found by Eugene Dubois in some geological strata composed mainly of volcanic ash. In the Pithecanthropus, the fluoric intoxication came from the ingestion of fruits and plants impregnated with the fluorine filled volcanic ash. This volcanic fluorisis, known as Gaddur, is now seen among animals living on the volcanic region of Iceland. For these reasons we assume that the Pithecanthropus erectus suffered a bone fluorosis of the type of the Periostitis deformans, which would be the first disease known in man.

TL;DR: The arqueologia historica, en su sentido cronologicamente restringido, en tanto que estudio de los procesos que dieron lugar a la formacion del worldo moderno and a su evolucion posterior, va cobrando paulatina fuerza in la academia de nuestro pais as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: La arqueologia historica, en su sentido cronologicamente restringido, en tanto que estudio de los procesos que dieron lugar a la formacion del mundo moderno y a su evolucion posterior, va cobrando paulatina fuerza en la academia de nuestro pais. Este articulo quiere contribuir a generar mas debate al respecto, revisando como se situa la arqueologia historica espanola en el panorama internacional y algunas de sus particularidades mas significativas. Al hacerlo, incide tambien en los estrechos vinculos que unen a la arqueologia historica y a la prehistorica desde sus origenes, tanto en lo que se refiere a la demarcacion ontologica, epistemologica y metodologica de la primera como a la influencia de las inquietudes socio-politicas de la arqueologia historica en la prehistoria. Esta reflexion esta en parte situada desde la prehistoria ya que, como esta ocurriendo en otros casos, una de las firmantes de este articulo procede de esta disciplina.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the evolucion of the acceso to the universidad de Catalunya over a period of doce anos, with respect to the nivel educativo de los progenitores de los newest estudiantes.
Abstract: En este articulo se analiza la evolucion del acceso a la universidad a lo largo de doce anos en los que ha habido cambios institucionales y de contexto importantes. Con datos para Catalunya, primero se analizan los cambios en el acceso segun el nivel educativo de los progenitores de los nuevos estudiantes. Los resultados muestran que se han dado oscilaciones en las tasas de nuevo acceso a la universidad que pueden ser atribuidas a modificaciones del contexto, pero la distancia entre los diversos grupos sociales se mantiene a lo largo del tiempo. A continuacion se observa la evolucion de la frecuencia de eleccion de titulaciones de precio alto y dificultad alta constatando que se han producido cambios en las elecciones de los estudiantes. Son principalmente las mujeres las que han cambiado sus pautas de eleccion, pero polarizando sus comportamientos en funcion de la nota de acceso y de su nivel formativo familiar.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present fundamental models and methods for the geometric description of real networks with a focus on applications of real network maps, including decentralized routing protocols, geometric community detection, and the self-similar multiscale unfolding of networks by geometric renormalization.
Abstract: Real networks comprise from hundreds to millions of interacting elements and permeate all contexts, from technology to biology to society. All of them display non-trivial connectivity patterns, including the small-world phenomenon, making nodes to be separated by a small number of intermediate links. As a consequence, networks present an apparent lack of metric structure and are difficult to map. Yet, many networks have a hidden geometry that enables meaningful maps in the two-dimensional hyperbolic plane. The discovery of such hidden geometry and the understanding of its role have become fundamental questions in network science giving rise to the field of network geometry. This Element reviews fundamental models and methods for the geometric description of real networks with a focus on applications of real network maps, including decentralized routing protocols, geometric community detection, and the self-similar multiscale unfolding of networks by geometric renormalization.

TL;DR: The debate around the commons has often been dominated by ideological opinions about their social, economic, environmental, and political implications as discussed by the authors, and the Catalan High Pyrenees districts, where historically common property has had a wide territorial presence, provide many arguments to analyze the discussions around common property from a conceptual standpoint.
Abstract: The debate around the commons has often been dominated by ideological opinions about their social, economic, environmental, and political implications. Catalan High Pyrenees districts, where historically common property has had a wide territorial presence, provide many arguments to analyze the discussions around common property from a conceptual standpoint. In the context of the changes occurred during the last two centuries, where the mountains have gone from sustaining an agroranching economy, to become a space devoted to tourism and conservation, the commons are interpreted as a central dimension of socio-ecological relations and a factor with high political potential.

TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical model that lies behind time use surveys and the potential of these surveys as an analytical instrument is analyzed and the aim is to unraveling the limitations presented by the surveys to take in account the subjective dimensions of time related to the wellbeing of people.
Abstract: Time use surveys -despite having represented a turning point in the study of inequalities between women and men- continue hiding care times and subtracting relevance to the qualitative dimensions of time This due both, to the ideological conception that lies behind this type of studies that consider more relevant market process as to surveys methodology This article analyzes the theoretical model that lies behind time use surveys and, consequently, the study of the conceptual aspects, the methodology and the potential of these surveys as an analytical instrument The aim is to unraveling the limitations presented by the surveys to take in account the subjective dimensions of time related to the wellbeing of people

TL;DR: In this article, a balance of the antropologia de la conservación in el Estado espanol is presented, with the aim of reflexionar acerca de its continuidad, with el fin of evitar the mera reiteracion and favorecer el avance in its result.
Abstract: En este articulo presentamos un balance de la Antropologia de la Conservacion en el Estado espanol. Durante las ultimas decadas, la proteccion de los espacios naturales ha aumentado de una manera exponencial en todo el mundo. A la vez que se extendia esta patrimonializacion de la naturaleza, los trabajos etnograficos sobre las areas protegidas han ido ganando terreno dentro de la disciplina y, en particular, en el campo de la Antropologia Ambiental. La mencionada bibliografia ha puesto de relieve los multiples aspectos derivados de las nuevas politicas territoriales de regulacion, apropiacion y mercantilizacion de la ‘naturaleza’. En este trabajo realizamos una revision exhaustiva de la produccion generada a raiz de este interes por las areas protegidas en nuestro pais subrayando sus principales aportaciones, caracteristicas y debilidades. De este modo pretendemos reflexionar acerca de su continuidad, con el fin de evitar la mera reiteracion y favorecer el avance en sus resultados.

TL;DR: The distribution of the tituli vasis fictilibus inscripti in el CIL IV, parte de la bibliografia que apoya su estudio, and las estrategias seguidas for their organizacion e interpretacion are discussed in el presente trabajo as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: La informatizacion de la epigrafia anforica contenida en el volumen IV del Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum resulta altamente significativa para los estudios economicos del mundo romano. El valor dado a sus caracteristicas cuantitativas y cualitativas se ha puesto en evidencia por contraposicion a los tituli picti anforicos publicados en otras obras. Se detallan en el presente trabajo la distribucion de los tituli vasis fictilibus inscripti en el CIL IV, parte de la bibliografia que apoya su estudio y las estrategias seguidas para su organizacion e interpretacion. Se ha sintetizado una documentacion notablemente fragmentada, publicada en varios suplementos y por distintos autores a lo largo de un siglo. Su analisis posterior muestra la composicion tematica de los tituli picti y la clasificacion tipologica de sus soportes epigraficos segun los autores del CIL IV.

TL;DR: In this article, the author reviews the research methodologies that relate Anthropology and Law based in her experience as a researcher in the area of property relations, showing that the complementarity between these two disciplines broadly contributes to the understanding of conflicts and realities of complex ownership-establishing a relationship between property and community.
Abstract: The author reviews the research methodologies that relate Anthropology and Law based in her experience as a researcher in the area of property relations. The complementarity between these two disciplines broadly contributes to the understanding of conflicts and realities of complex ownership-establishing a relationship between property and community—, but is not exempt from tension. As the author shows, Legal Anthropology poses a critical relationship with Law when Legal approaches show intransigence vis-a-vis anthropological peculiarities. Abuse of Legal fictions reveals also a source for Anthropological misunderstandings.

TL;DR: Hybrids proved to be more homcostatic than their isogenic parental strains, and more efficient homeostasis in hybrids is suggested to be the cause of increased hybrid superiority with decreasing temperature.
Abstract: Some isogenic strains produced from a natural population at El Prat (Barcelona) were tested at different temperatures for total viability. Their hybrids were also tested at the same temperatures for the same trait. Hybrids proved to be more homcostatic than their isogenic parental strains. More efficient homeostasis in hybrids is suggested to be the cause of increased hybrid superiority with decreasing temperature. Genotype-temperature interaction was always significant for isogenic strains, but never for hybrids. These results are discussed in terms of coadaptation and homeostasis. Some maternal effects have also been detected.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the concepts of light pollution and analyzed the types of luminaires, the case of Sants quarter (Barcelona) was studied, and an extensive photographic inventory was made.
Abstract: Light pollution is excessive or defective artificial night lighting, mainly in cities. Its negative effects are: diffusion to the sky, which hampers astronomical observation; light intrusion or penetration of light through the windows, preventing sleep; glare; and energy overconsumption. Once presented the concepts of light pollution and analyzed the types of luminaires, the case of Sants quarter (Barcelona) was studied. Transects through 21 streets and squares were conducted, and an extensive photographic inventory was made. Problems with light intrusion were detected in 57.1% of the pathways analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how family care and assistance systems that have always been marked by strong ties react to processes of kin loss, typical of the second demographic transition, and to the retreat of the Welfare state.
Abstract: Focusing on the case of au pairs, this article investigates how family care and assistance systems that have always been marked by “strong ties” react to processes of kin loss, typical of the second demographic transition, and to the retreat of the Welfare state. Based on an ethnographic research on the relationships between Latin American au pairs and their host families in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur Region of the South of France, the article addresses the question of how South-European societies, characterised by a familistic ideology of care and assistance, face the need to include external figures in the field of family care. It shows how, despite the use of a fictive kinship language, the vague definition of the au pair figure leaves open multiple possibilities, ranging from effective inclusion and kinning to professionalization and labor exploitation.

TL;DR: This paper analyzed how Spanish national identity was discussed and constructed in Spanish colonial discourse about Morocco during the Rif wars (1909-1927) and found that Spain was described as a decadent, almost African nation.
Abstract: This paper analyzes how Spanish national identity was discussed and constructed in Spanish colonial discourse about Morocco. Some colonial sectors claimed that Spain was and should be a civilized nation in a period during which doubt was cast on its status as a modern nation. Spain was described as a decadent, almost African nation. This article will examine how national identity was discussed through the values and images of manhood. To do so, it will analyze the male archetypes –Spanish and Moroccan– drawn in colonial discourses created in Spain about Morocco during the Rif wars (1909-1927).

TL;DR: In this paper, Lopez was rechazado en la Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando for acceder a catedra de “Preparatorio de colorido, en donde presento su Nevera de hielo.
Abstract: En 1966 el pintor Antonio Lopez fue rechazado en la Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando para acceder a la catedra de “Preparatorio de colorido”, en donde presento su Nevera de hielo. Despues de cinco anos de encargado de catedra abandono la institucion. El articulo analiza las circunstancias de la prueba, en una decada que supuso un cambio definitivo en su obra, hacia un realismo incomodo para un sistema que mantenia con dificultad la copia academica del modelo, una tradicion dificilmente compatible con la abstraccion que se imponia en la Espana de aquellos anos. A la vez, las relaciones con la fotografia han condicionado las reflexiones teoricas del pintor y los metodos de trabajo analizados en estas paginas.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of ethnoarchaeological research to contribute to our understanding of the creation and use of rock art is discussed, which is particularly relevant to Spanish researchers given the lack of training available in this area at Spanish universities.
Abstract: This paper critically reflects on the potential of ethnoarchaeological research to contribute to our understanding of the creation and use of rock art. While most archaeology focuses on material culture separated through time from their makers, ethnoarchaeological research involves working with people and contemporary objects and requires an attention to cultural sensitivities that may differ significantly from those of the researcher. We also reflect, therefore, on the ethics of ethnoarchaeological research. This is particularly relevant to Spanish researchers given the lack of training available in this area at Spanish universities. The reflections summarized in this paper are built upon our long-term experience collaborating and learning from Aboriginal Elders and artists from several communities in western Arnhem Land and the Barunga region of the Northern Territory (Australia).

TL;DR: In this paper, the complex and ambiguous relation between the poet and the tyrant throughout the Archaic Greece is analyzed, where the tyrant is praised in some occasions by poets but mostly he is criticized by them, because he has become an odious character who does not deserve to live in the bosom of a civic community; the tyrant exercises a fascination which can never be easily overcome.
Abstract: This article analizes the complex and ambiguous relation between the poet and the tyrant throughout the Archaic Greece. The tyrant is praised in some occasions by poets but mostly he is criticized by them, because he has become an odious character who does not deserves to live in the bosom of a civic community; the tyrant exercises, however, a fascination which can never be easily overcome.

TL;DR: Barcelona ha experimentado un acelerado crecimiento del turismo in especiala partir del 2000, and parece¯¯indudable que el crecimento e intensificacion of la actividad turistica in Barcelona esta mas que asegurado.
Abstract: Barcelona ha experimentado un acelerado crecimiento del turismo en especial a partir del 2000. Actualmente, el turismo cumple una funcion claramente estructurante en Barcelona: dificilmente se puede comprender la evolucion de la ciudad sin tener en cuenta el papel que el turismo juega en ella, y parece indudable que el crecimiento e intensificacion de la actividad turistica en Barcelona esta mas que asegurado. En los ultimos anos, y coincidiendo con el auge de su oferta y demanda, el turismo en Barcelona ha sido objeto de criticas y aversiones por parte de algunos de sus ciudadanos, que han identificado el turismo como responsable directo de algunas de las carencias y problematicas de la ciudad; Las molestias causadas por la masificacion en determinados espacios publicos de la ciudad, los procesos de gentrificacion que sufren algunas zonas, la banalizacion de algunos simbolos relacionados con la identidad de la ciudad o la especializacion del comercio alrededor de los iconos turisticos, son cuestiones que preocupan a la poblacion y ante los cuales hay que asumir serias gestiones. La intensa actividad turistica en Barcelona exige replanteamientos desde un punto de vista territorial, economico y sociocultural.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pressure sensor was integrated on a silicon chip by means of a standard CMOS technology (1.0 urn from Atmel-European Silicon Structures) followed by micromechanical structuring of the device.
Abstract: Forming a part of the CAD/CAE attempts to simulate and design microsystems, the process of parameter extraction for a pressure sensor macromodel from layout is presented. The pressure sensor was integrated on a silicon chip by means of a standard CMOS technology (1.0 urn from Atmel-European Silicon Structures) followed by micromechanical structuring of the device. A tool for analysing the physical layout of the sensor is also described. From the results, an electrical model of the sensor was obtained for use in conventional CAD tools.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the ethics and aesthetics of care in relation to collaborative art practices in which life experience is fused with the artistic creation and conclude that creation could become a tool to increase critical thinking and a way to politicize social malaise.
Abstract: This article sets out to analyze the ethics and aesthetics of care in relation to collaborative art practices in which life experience is fused with the artistic creation. This close link between the intimate and the social sphere leads us to the slogan “The personal is political” (1969), of the feminist Carol Hanisch, which serves as the starting point for numerous artists, focusing on what has been traditionally protected in the field of privacy. These premises will be articulated from various initiatives –from artists like Eulalia Valldosera, Marga Ximenez and Nora Ancarola– that explore relationships in social and family structures. We conclude, based on the analysis of specific cases, in pointing out how creation could become a tool to increase critical thinking and a way to politicize social malaise.

TL;DR: In particular, the authors analyzes the representación que a naturalista-viajero frances elaboró a relato ilustrado primero, positivista despues, en el cual, las sociedades europeas eran portadoras de la "civilizacion" y del "progreso" and exportaban un proyecto "civilizerio" a los paises extraeuropeos -Bolivia in this caso- in el que los “salvajes” y “
Abstract: Europa y America Latina han desarrollado a lo largo de la historia unas relaciones economicas, sociales, politicas y culturales que han nutrido la construccion de imaginarios en los que la percepcion del “otro” se alimenta de la representacion del “uno”. Estos imaginarios han sido elaborados por diversos agentes europeos y americanos. Objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la “representacion” que uno de aquellos actores, Alcide d’Orbigny, hizo de la region y sus habitantes en la decada de 1830. Tesis sostenida es que el naturalista-viajero frances elaboro un relato ilustrado primero, positivista despues, en el cual, las sociedades europeas eran portadoras de la “civilizacion” y del “progreso” y exportaban un proyecto “civilizatorio” a los paises extraeuropeos -Bolivia en este caso- en el que los “salvajes” y “barbaros” guarayos debian ser “civilizados”. La fuente fundamental sera el relato y los dibujos realizados por el durante el viaje y elaborados tras su regreso a Francia en 1832.

TL;DR: In this article, a classification of various types of conversion to philosophy as they appear in ancient Greek biographies, especially in Diogenes Laertius' Lives and tenets of eminent philosophers, is presented.
Abstract: In this paper I work out a classification of the various types of conversion to philosophy as they appear in ancient Greek biographies, especially in Diogenes Laertius’ Lives and tenets of eminent philosophers, to the purpose of making clear that it was a well-established biographical topic. Moreover, the “rites” of initiation to philosophical activity and the different means employed to socially legitimate a philosopher are reviewed from the point of view of ancient biography. This analysis allows us to shed some light on the image ancient Greeks had about their own philosophers as a kind different from other “cultural agents”, like poets, as well as from other figures belonging to the collective imagery, like heroes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an account of a visually impaired person's life experience, a person who after conquering many obstacles finds a path to its reason of being and existing in this world, and highlights the contradictory situation in Costa Rica of having achieved first-order standards in the academic teaching of people with disabilities.
Abstract: El articulo se refiere al relato de la experiencia de vida de una persona con deficiencia visual, que despues de vencer muchos obstaculos encuentra un camino que la conduce a la busqueda de su razon de ser y de estar en el mundo.Se trata de un articulo donde la autora realiza un analisis introspectivo, a partir de sus relaciones con un marco de referencia y de contexto cultural, legal y politico, y contrastandolo con las diferentes etapas de su desarrollo intelectual, profesional, cultural y social.En este aspecto resulta interesante como se enfatiza en las diferentes posturas sociales, unas vinculadas a la amistad y la relacion familiar, otras que constituyen barreras que condicionan la accesibilidad y participacion social y que responden a la falta de educacion, sensibilidad y conciencia, y por ultimo otras mas esperanzadoras, que en forma solidaria promueven un convivio mas asentado en la concertacion y en el pluralismo, en el amor al projimo y en el reconocimiento de las diferencias que todos los seres humanos poseemos.Entre sus relatos y vivencias pedagogicas y culturales, se refiere a la ausencia de apoyo institucional y a la importancia de las relaciones de cooperacion basadas en vinculos afectivos, las cuales le permiten alcanzar sus objetivos academicos. Actualmente, cursa el segundo ano del Doctorado en Pedagogia. Doctorado Diversidad y Cambio en Educacion: Politicas y Practicas, de la Universidad de Barcelona. Resalta la incongruencia que se da en Costa Rica, en haber logrado estandares de primer orden en la formacion academica de personas con discapacidad, expectativas que resultan insatisfechas en el campo laboral, con lo cual se produce una obstaculizacion de la devolucion de la inversion social. The article is the account of a visually-impaired person’s life experience, a person who after conquering many obstacles finds a path to its reason of being and existing in this world. This is a story in which the author makes a self-examining analysis that gauges her existence, from a cultural, legal and political context or frame of reference, opposable to its personal life in the different stages of its intellectual, professional, cultural and social development. In this aspect, it’s interesting how the different social outlooks are highlighted; some are linked to friendship and the family relationships, and others that constitute barriers to social accessibility and participation, barriers that respond to the lack of education, sensibility and awareness. And finally, some other more auspicious circumstances that in a spirit of solidarity stimulate coexistence based on compromise and pluralism, in love towards one neighbor and in acknowledging the differences all human beings possess between themselves. In its pedagogic and cultural stories and life experiences, the author refers to the absence of institutional support and to the importance of the cooperation relationships based on affective bonds, which in turn have allowed the author reach its academic goals. Currently, the author is at the second year of its Doctorate Degree in Pedagogy, Diversity and Change in Education, Policies and Practices at the University of Barcelona. The article also highlights the contradictory situation in Costa Rica of having achieved first-order standards in the academic teaching of people with disabilities, to then have unfulfilled expectations when the alumni enter the working class. This problem hinders the reaping of the fruits that social investment on special education represented in the first place.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the population daily mobility, particularly in commuting, analyzing the changes between 2001 and 2011 in Barcelona and its metropolitan area, focusing on the changes in the composition of its workers and the effects of unemployment due to the intensity of the economic crisis.
Abstract: Over the last decade the Spanish labour market is undergoing profound changes in the composition of its workers, first as a result of the arrival of large numbers of foreign immigrants in times of economic growth, later by the effects of unemployment due to the intensity of the economic crisis. In this context, we focus our attention on the population daily mobility, particularly in commuting, analyzing the changes between 2001 and 2011 in Barcelona and its metropolitan area.

TL;DR: For instance, this article evaluated 540 patients who participated in a consulta de Oncologia Medica for valoracion de tratamiento adyuvante tras una cirugia oncologica, entre junio del 2015 and diciembre del 2016.
Abstract: Detectar una actitud de afrontamiento estoica en los pacientes con cancer es importante porque puede favorecer o dificultar el tratamiento oncologico. Objetivo: En este trabajo, analizamos si en funcion de la edad, el genero, la presencia de dolor y el tiempo transcurrido desde que empezaron los sintomas hasta el diagnostico del cancer, podemos asignar a las conductas estoicas un valor positivo o negativo, como factor de proteccion o de riesgo en los pacientes. Material y Metodos: evaluamos 540 pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de Oncologia Medica para valoracion de tratamiento adyuvante tras una cirugia oncologica, entre junio del 2015 y diciembre del 2016. Los datos clinicos y demograficos se obtuvieron a traves de la entrevista medica y fueron: genero, edad, estado civil, nivel educativo, area ocupacional, localizacion del tumor, estadio y tiempo trascurrido desde la presencia de los sintomas y la consulta al medico. Se administraron en papel y presencialmente los siguientes cuestionarios: Inventario de Dolor Breve, Brief Symptom Inventory y Liverpool Stoicism Scale . Resultados: Los hombres de la muestra mostraron casi 5 veces mas probabilidad de presentar altas puntuaciones en estoicismo que las mujeres y 7 veces mas si se asocia un estado de animo decaido y edad avanzada. El estoicismo fue mayor en los pacientes de mas edad. No se ha hallado relacion entre el estoicismo y las escalas de dolor. Conclusion: Las tres caracteristicas que discriminan mejor entre los pacientes con altas y/o bajas puntuaciones en estoicismo son el genero, la edad y el estado de animo depresivo. El hecho de que el estoicismo este asociado a hombres ancianos con depresion nos hace pensar que el estoicismo debe ser considerado mas como un factor de riesgo que de proteccion. La madurez relacionada con la edad conlleva inevitablemente una mayor aceptacion de las perdidas y una propension a ocultar el dolor, o a no buscar ayuda para evitar mostrar debilidad. Ante esta situacion es importante contar con la informacion que nos proporciona la familia y reconocer la importancia del apoyo familiar sobre a estas personas que pueden ser de entrada mas vulnerables.
