The purpose was to investigate, in a sample of drug abusers, whether subscales in the KAPP (Karolinska Psychodynamic Profile, Weinryb, 1992) interview and defense mechanisms explored by the DMTm (Defense Mechanism Technique modified) could differentiate between DSM-III-R clusters and
personality disorders (PDs). Forty-seven (47) subjects out of the 84 injecting drug abusers (56%) recruited from a detoxification hospital ward in Sweden had a primary antisocial PD (ASPD) with a comorbid second DSM-III-R PD diagnosis. Pathology was significant on the KAPP subscales
of"Dependency and separation," "Alexithymic traits," "Normopathic traits,""Coping with aggressive affects," and "Sexual satisfaction" in relation to cluster B (dramatic). All subscales were predominant in patients with ASPD/narcissistic
PD, who showed the defense mechanism marked denial. The two latter subscales were related to patients with ASPD/borderline PD, who showed the defense of introaggression and the DMTm sign of disappearance of threat. Finally, some psychoanalytic constructs in KAPP and
DMTm showed congruence.

Labor Relations in New Democracies explores how democratization has changed the material and political fortunes of workers in the new democracies of Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. It also examines how workers have responded to their newly found environment. The question is explored through analyses of labor compensation and industrial relations in these countries, and two detailed case studies. The study reveals that where workers have benefited the most from democratization - in Western Europe - they have also become more militant. At the other end of the spectrum, Eastern European countries, workers have benefitted the least from democratization. As a result, they have experienced declines in their ability to strike.

In the following work we have as a central objective to examine the socio-economic implications of the disintegration of the economy of Puerto Rico from the second half of the twentieth century, using as a center of study the cases of the sugar industry, the petrochemical industry -CORCO and the industries under the section 936 sector. The three sectors were at their peak the most important activities in the Puerto Rican economy during the twentieth century; However, the three sectors were displaced and ruined by local and international situations, causing one of the largest economic crises in our contemporary history. ; En el siguiente trabajo tenemos como objetivo central examinar las implicaciones socio-económicas de la desintegración de la economía de Puerto Rico a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, usando como centro de estudio los casos de la industria azucarera, la industria de la petroquímicas-CORCO y las industrias bajo el sector de la sección 936. Los tres sectores fueron en su momento de apogeo las actividades más importantes en la economía puertorriqueña durante del siglo XX; no obstante, los tres sectores fueron desplazados y arruinados por situaciones locales e internacionales, causando una de las crisis económicas más grandes de nuestra historia contemporánea.

¿Puede la publicidad política influenciar el bienestar subjetivo de los votantes? Con la percepción de pobreza subjetiva como medida de bienestar, este estudio intenta dar respuesta a esta pregunta. Utilizando información a nivel individual de percepción de pobreza como medida de bienestar e información de gasto de publicidad en las elecciones de alcalde en Colombia en el periodo 2011-2016, se estima un modelo lineal de probabilidad en cortes transversales repetidos para establecer la relación entre estas dos variables. En la especificación más exigente, un aumento de una desviación estándar en el gasto en publicidad por votante esta correlacionado con un aumento de 1,9 puntos porcentuales en la probabilidad de que un individuo expuesto se declare pobre. Además, se presenta evidencia preliminar del origen del efecto, siendo explicado por el gasto proveniente de los candidatos retadores y no por las diferentes corrientes ideológicas de los candidatos en competencia. ; Can political advertising influence the subjective well-being of voters? With the perception of subjective poverty as a measure of well-being, this study attempts to answer this question. Using the perception of poverty as a measure of well-being and information on advertising expenditure in mayoral elections in Colombia in the period 2011-2016, I estimate a linear model of probability in repeated cross-sections to establish the relationship between these two variables. In the most demanding specification, an increase of a standard deviation in advertising spending per voter is correlated with an increase of 1.9 percentage points in the probability that an exposed individual declare himself as poor. In addition, i present preliminary evidence of the mechanism,with the effect being explained by the expenditure coming from the challengers candidates, and not by the different ideological trends of the competing candidates.

La presente investigación trata sobre un estudio etnográfico en el que se ha analizado, mediante el relato biográfico, el impacto que han tenido los cambios sociales, políticos, y religiosos en la vida de un varón homosexual que nació en los años cincuenta. Por medio de la información recopilada a través de las entrevistas y el diario de campo, se ha podido verificar cómo la dictadura franquista y la religión católica han configurado su identidad y la forma en la que ha vivido su homosexualidad. The current research deals with an ethnographic study that analyses, through the use of a biographical portrait, the impact that social, political and religious changes, which have happened over the years, have had in the existence of a gay man who was born in the 1950s. By means of the information compiled across interviews and a field notebook, it has been verified how the Francoist regime and catholic religion have shaped his identity and the way he has lived his homosexuality.

The Public Works Tax Deduction Law has been enacted to foster public investment at a local and regional level by including participation from the private sector and through the subscription of agreements with local and regional governments.Nonetheless its noble purposes, in the application field of the Law, normative gaps are put into evidence, which impede its practical application. In the present article, the author shows which are the Law's deficiencies, while analyzing them and proposing possible solutions. ; La Ley de Obras por Impuestos tiene como objetivo principal impulsar la inversión pública de impacto regional y local, con la participación del sector privado, mediante la suscripción de convenios con los gobiernos regionales y/o locales.No obstante su noble propósito, en el ámbito aplicativo de la ley se evidencian ciertos vacíos normativos que dificultan su aplicación práctica. Es así que –en el presente artículo– la autora nos muestra cuáles son estas deficiencias a la vez que, luego de hacer un análisis de las mismas, nos propone posibles soluciones.
