Desegregation court orders in American schools stem from the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education (Brown I) 1 decision that overturned de jure segregation, 2 which had been previously upheld by the "separate but equal" decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. 3 Whereas the Brown I decision "…pronounces the principle of separate as inherently unequal…," 4 Brown v. Board of Education II (1955) 5 ("Brown II") placed the burden of formulating a plan to "effectuate a transition to a racially nondiscriminatory school system" 6 on school districts and provided lower courts with the authority to evaluate the extent to which school districts had complied. 7 Brown II set the precedent for District Court oversight of school district compliance with desegregation orders; 8 however, the widespread resistance and apathy toward Brown II by school districts was not forcefully decried until the Supreme Court's decision in Green v. County School Board of New Kent County (1968), which introduced

This research in the field of Media Sociology and Gender Studies compares the representation of death and of female corpses in two crime TV series produced in the last decade in two very different contexts: the Italian series RIS-Delitti imperfetti (Canale 5) and the Irish one The Fall (BBC Northern Ireland). The interest for this theme is born out of the awareness of the gravity of a phenomenon such as gendered violence. The starting assumption here is that media representations play a key role in fueling or counteracting the culture that feeds gendered violence: this is true both for news media and fictional media, able to shape our social imaginary. At the basis of this research there are three questions: whether the violence, victims and perpetrators represented in media coincide with the actual reality of the above-mentioned countries; what kind of frame is the most commonly used to represent male violence against women; and whether violence itself and the dead female body are represented with any kind of eroticization or spectacularization. To answer these questions, I will carry out a quantitative and qualitative analysis, looking at Feminist Film Theory in order to resolve he last issue.

RESUMEN F u n d a m e n t o : dada la variabilidad del manejo de la hiperc o l e s t e rolemia en el anciano por los Médicos de Atención Primaria (MAPs), se pre c i s a una evaluación inicial. O b j e t i v o : describir el manejo de la hiperc o l e s t erolemia en ancianos entre 65 y 75 años por los mé -dicos de familia.Diseño: estudio observacional transversal. Material y método: de 16 Equipos de Atención Primaria (EAPs) del Área 10 INSALUD, con 125MAPs, se eligieron a 4 EAPs (25%) con 38 MAPs, mediante muestreo bietápico por conglomerados, y de los 841 pacientes elegibles, se seleccionaro n 551 pacientes mediante muestreo aleatorio simple. Se analizó la existencia de factores de riesgo card i o v a s c u l a res (FRCIs), cardiopatía isquémica o enfermedad vascular arterioesclerótica (CI/EVA ) , perfil lipídico, y la adecuación del manejo de la h i p e rc o l e s t e rolemia a las recomendaciones del National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP I I ) .Resultados: utilizando la prueba Chi cuadrado, se detectó que el 71,87% (IC95%: 67,88; 75,55) 64,25% (IC95%: 60,07; 68,23), con estatinas un 20,87% (IC95%: 17,60;24,56), con fibratos un 12,16% (IC95%: 9,61;15,25), y con resinas un 2,36% (IC95%: 1,32;4,11). La hiperc o l e s t e rolemia se manejaba correctamente en el 47,91% (IC95%: 43,68; 52,71), disminuía al 41,05% (IC95%: 35,33; 47,02) cuando el paciente tenía 2 FRCIs, y al 36,94% (IC95%: 28,12; 46,67) cuando padecía C I / E VA . 64.25 percent (CI95%: 60.07; 68.23), 24.56), 15.25), and with bile acid sequestrants in the 2.36 perc e n t (CI95%: 1.32; 4.11). The rate of the accurate dyslipidaemia management in this population was 47.91 percent (CI95%: 43,68; 52.71), decreased to 41.05 percent (CI95%: 35.33; 47.02) if patients had got 2 ARFs, and to 36.94 percent (CI95%: 28.12; 46.67) if they had got CH/AVD.

O b j e c t i v e : to describe the dyslipidaemia management by family physicians in population between ORIGINAL INTRODUCCIÓNLa hipercolesterolemia es un factor de riesgo principal de cardiopatía isquémica (CI) siendo una de las primeras causas de mortalidad. Los estudios epidemiológicos y ensayos clínicos 1 -5 han demostrado que el tratamiento reductor del colesterol reduce la incidencia y mortalidad por CI, y en prevención secundaria también la mortalidad total. La p r e v a l e n c i a 6 de dislipemia en la población adulta es del 20%, y ésta prácticamente se duplica a partir de los 50 años. La importancia del problema no sólo deriva de esta magnitud. Una adecuada indicación terapéutica consigue disminuir la incidencia de patología cardiovascular y sus tasas de mort a l i d a d .La Organización Mundial de la ...
