Violencia Domestica

Este artículo tuvo como objetivo principal analizar el abordaje dado a la violencia doméstica en el marco del Módulo de Psicología y Violencia Doméstica de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), durante la pandemia provocada por el COVID-19; esto en las noticias de prensa escrita provenientes de medios virtuales en el contexto latinoamericano y en el período comprendido entre marzo a mayo del año 2020. La muestra estuvo conformada por 12 noticias y 8 notas de prensa provenientes de 4 países latinoamericanos y de 4 organizaciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales, las cuales fueron escogidas bajo el criterio de saturación. Como principales resultados, se encontró que las noticias y notas de prensa visualizan la preocupación de las autoridades y organizaciones correspondientes ante el inminente aumento en casos de violencia doméstica y violencia de género, además, dejan en claro la necesidad de nuevos mecanismos de denuncias y la importancia de la sensibilización en temas de género al personal de las instituciones que atienden los casos de violencia.

Violencia Domestica

Este trabajo es un estudio, que presenta una óptica de la promulgación legislativa sobre violencia doméstica de un país Latinoamericano, Costa Rica, preocupado por tratar de dar contenido normativo de contención a uno de los males que más afectan a la humanidad: la agresión dentro del hogar. Se trata de una normativa, relativamente joven, que ha encontrado una serie de limitaciones para su buena y correcta aplicación, y encierra situaciones del diario vivir que trascienden los estrados judiciales. Por eso es importante un análisis de su estado actual, con una breve exposición de los antecedentes legislativos que la justificaron y algunas recomendaciones, que le darían mayor viabilidad para el cometido que le dio su creación.

Maize rayado fino virus (MRFV) causes a severe disease of corn (Zea mays) in many locations throughout the neotropics and as far north as southern U.S. MRFV particles detected by direct electron microscopy of negatively stained sap from infected leaves are not necessarily distinguishable from many other small isometric viruses infecting plants (Fig. 1).Immunosorbent trapping of virus particles on antibody-coated grids and the antibody coating or decoration of trapped virus particles, was used to confirm the identification of MRFV. Antiserum to MRFV was supplied by R. Gamez (Centro de Investigacion en Biologia Celular y Molecular, Universidad de Costa Rica, Ciudad Universitaria, Costa Rica).Virus particles, appearing as a continuous lawn, were trapped on grids coated with MRFV antiserum (Fig. 2-4). In contrast, virus particles were infrequently found on grids not exposed to antiserum or grids coated with normal rabbit serum (similar to Fig. 1). In Fig. 3, the appearance of the virus particles (isometric morphology, 30 nm diameter, stain penetration of some particles, and morphological subunits in other particles) is characteristic of negatively stained MRFV particles. Decoration or coating of these particles with MRFV antiserum confirms their identification as MRFV (Fig. 4).

Social representations of human rights violations were investigated in a questionnaire study conducted in five countries (Costa Rica, France, Italy, Romania, and Switzerland) (N = 1239 young people). We were able to show that respondents organize their understanding of human rights violations in similar ways across nations. At the same time, systematic variations characterized opinions about human rights violations, and the structure of these variations was similar across national contexts. Differences in definitions of human rights violations were identified by a cluster analysis. A broader definition was related to critical attitudes toward governmental and institutional abuses of power, whereas a more restricted definition was rooted in a fatalistic conception of social reality, approval of social regulations, and greater tolerance for institutional infringements of privacy. An atypical definition was anchored either in a strong rejection of social regulations or in a strong condemnation of immoral individual actions linked with a high tolerance for governmental interference. These findings support the idea that contrasting definitions of human rights coexist and that these definitions are underpinned by a set of beliefs regarding the relationships between individuals and institutions.
