El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la eficacia del método Índice Canino Mandibular para la determinación del sexo en la identificación forense de la población que reside en Lima Metropolitana. Para este propósito se evaluó a 200 individuos: 100 hombres y 100 mujeres con edades entre 15 a 25 años, seleccionados en base a los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos para el estudio. El método a utilizar fue el observacional. El dimorfismo sexual del canino inferior izquierdo fue de 7.58% mientras que del canino inferior derecho fue de 6.11%. El promedio del Índice Canino Mandibular en los hombres fue de 0.269 ± 0.017 y en las mujeres fue de 0.256 ± 0.019. La eficacia del Índice Canino Mandibular en los hombres fue del 70% y en las mujeres fue del 82%; obteniendo una eficacia total del 76%. Se concluyó que el índice Canino Mandibular Estándar de la población que reside en Lima con edades entre 15 a 25 años es de 0.264, encontrando una eficacia del 76% para la determinación del sexo. / *** The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Mandibular Canine Index in forensic identification method for sex determination in the population residing in Metropolitan Lima.

In 1819, Ferdinand VII ordered the creation of two Colegios de Abogados in Cuba to prevent the expansion of the number of legal professionals, as well as the unauthorized practice of law. The strategy, however, failed, and lawyers increasingly became a force of political and social change in the island, being mostly inspired by the debates about the implementation of liberal agendas in and out of Cuba. Some Colegios de Abogados eventually became centers of anti-Spanish conspiracy and lawyers even led recurrent uprisings for Cuban independence. Ideas of reform among Cuban lawyers, however, were diverse, and different interpretations of liberalism surfaced, especially under the influence of other movements such as annexationism and autonomism. This variety of ideas encountered one another at the Constitutional Convention of 1901, where self-proclaimed liberal delegates still questioned, for example, free education and universal suffrage, which made evident the many shades that liberalism still had in Cuba at this time. This study takes legal professionals to be a strategic window to approach and explain key social, political and intellectual transformations in nineteenth century Cuba, while unveiling the leading role lawyers themselves played in those processes. Relying on personal and professional documentation, correspondence and job applications, the dissertation recreates lawyers’ political, intellectual and social positions, and shows how they had a decisive participation in historical change in late colonial Cuba. Their ideas survived in periodical publications, newspapers, and political writings that they established or where they participated, as well as in legislations that they enacted, applied or commented on. Being the most influential professional group of the period under study, lawyers represent a perfect tool to understand the end of Spanish times in Cuba and its transit, under the flags of liberalism, to an independent republic.

Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales) / El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que la narración, además de la argumentación legal, tiene efecto sobre la motivación de las sentencias y por eso no debe ser obviada como componente del discurso jurídico. Para probar la afirmación anterior se utiliza la tópica como instrumento de análisis, ya que esta permite analizar los diferentes ángulos que están en juego en un problema específico.

Prior research has repeatedly documented the existence of gender inequality, discrimination, and harassment in the legal practice, an occupation that remains maledominated in terms of both numbers and organizational culture. Despite the availability of some legal remedies, women attorneys rarely sue their employers, and often do not challenge discriminatory behavior. In this dissertation, I explore this seemingly contradictory situation, where lawyers fail to employ the legal system on their own behalf, and I seek to determine whether the law can in fact be mobilized to challenge and perhaps change gender relations in the legal practice. Through ethnographic field research and content analysis of an Internet community, my research examines possible methods by which the law can serve as a tool to challenge gender discrimination. Further, I assess the manner in which the Internet community itself can serve as a vehicle for challenging gender inequality. In particular, I first explore the role formal litigation might play in promoting change for women attorneys, determining that attorneys in the Internet community are hesitant to employ litigation to challenge gender discrimination. This reluctance appears to result in large part from attorneys’ familiarity with the daunting task of establishing a discrimination case in the judicial system, as well as from a fear that the pursuit of litigation could inflict damage upon their legal careers. I then consider whether the law can serve as a useful tool to challenge inequality when legal discourse is employed within the Internet community to invoke a legal right to a discrimination-free workplace. I find that attorneys, despite their legal training, call upon both formal and informal notions of discrimination when confronted with circumstances colored with inequity. The Internet community itself provides a protected, semianonymous forum in which to engage in such discourse, thereby subverting many of the barriers that currently exist to challenging gender inequality in the legal practice. Further, the community serves as a resource to bring public attention to bear upon law firms, creating external pressures which encourage a reevaluation of both lay and legal understandings of prohibited gender discrimination.
