The purpose of this research is to answer the question regarding when the specific danger to the life or integrity of people required by article 380 Penal Code. For this, the most recent doctrine and jurisprudential pronouncements are analysed, having to warn that the decisions from the Provincial Courts show that it is debatable, in many cases, to consider as certain the causation of a serious and imminent risk for people as required by the penal type. In this sense, the essential parameters that a specific situation must meet to qualify it as dangerous and the circle of subjects that must be affected are exposed. As a closing clause, a brief reference is made to the subjective type of the crime, characterized by the intent of danger.

A clear discrimination against women has been verified in multiple areas, among which it is worth mentioning the prevention of occupational risks due to the use of asbestos. The absence of a gender perspective in the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks, the traditional regime of employer responsibilities, or the traditional Social Security protection system are fundamental elements to deal with. A truly relevant aspect in conducting this study has been the absence of scientific or informative doctrine in this regard, since, among other reasons, the construction of Law has been conducted from a reality corresponding to the masculine sphere. For this reason, among the bibliography and non-legal sources, scientific-medical articles, interviews, information provided by victims' associations and press releases predominate.

The present work analyzes the historical evolution of the public employment from its emergence in the Roman Empire to its current configuration. The progression of this figure, and the determination of its contours, is opposed to that of personnel in the health field. The singularities of this sector and the coexistence of public health personnel with the birth of their own and differentiated regime, the regime of statutory personnel, are the core of this analysis. To this end, the parallel evolution of the public service and statutory regime and the subsequent separation into two differentiated legal systems are analyzed.

Schizophrenia is a disabling mental disorder that limits the functionality of people. The objective of the study was to recognize the cultural domain of disability in schizophrenia in relatives of users from Instituto Jalisciense de Salud Mental. As results, a single valid cultural domain was found (p ≤ 0.05), in which, work capacity and independent living were part of the main beliefs about disability. The conclusions are that the environment of the person with schizophrenia has a great impact on the experience of disability that a human lives. Individual and family beliefs configure barriers that limit inclusion. 

The article reflects on three issues: the theoretical and ethnographic model employed by Bronisław Malinowski in the Melanesian system of kula exchange, their similarities and variations within the study of the market system in the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca, and the usefulness of the model to interpret the practice of festive reciprocity gueza, reproduced among Oaxacan Mixtec communities, making use of ethnographic, theoretical-conceptual and epistemological juxtapositions. Thus, with this theoretical and ethnographic intersection between kula, markets system and gueza, it is intended to prove the validity of Malinowski’s thought and its usefulness for thinking about contemporary reciprocity practices. 

In the village of Khamlia, Morocco, religious practices and festivities of Islamic, Amazigh and Gnaoua tradition are held throughout the year where music is used for spiritual and medicinal purposes. These practices maintain its historical origins under a multicultural context, harboring traditions, customs and cultural attributes of pre-Islamic origins and attributed to West African ethnic groups, such as the Bambara and other belonging to the Mande ethnolinguistic group. The most important annual festival in Khamlia is the Sadaka. This ethnographic work exposes in detail the preparation, administration, and organization of the festival, in charge of the council of elders of the village, as well as an ethnographic approach to the festival and rituals carried out throughout the three days of duration. 

The conflicts and partisan disputes that arise when legislating the rights of towns, barrios originarios, and indigenous communities residing in Mexico City are analyzed. Through an ethnography of social life in the textual evidence produced when preparing the Political Constitution of the city, it is shown that its paradoxical effects in the political struggles of the pueblos of the capital have their genesis in power relations occurred in the Constituent Assembly, since in the constituent committees the first conflict occurred between the perspectives that wanted to rethink state law, with those that sought to reproduce its hegemonic logic. 

We analyze emblematic sections of documental trajectories concerning cases of summary execution occurred during police raids in favelas of Rio de Janeiro. This article is guided by the understanding that certain governmentality practices are directly articulated to bureaucratic formalities of police stations, forensic institutes and public defender’s offices, etc. The documentation produced by the State is seen as a key element in upgrading government gears that control territories and bodies. Through a methodological design that combines participant observation and ethnography of documents, we follow a bureaucratic route, that begins at the police station, of an autopsy report included in the investigation report send to the Public Ministry that makes the complaint, which finally reaches the criminal judge. 

I analyze two texts by Ernest Gellner in which he interprets a figure of Mali-nowski, his life and the functionalist theory. In the first article, “Zeno of Cracow or Revolution at Nemi or the Polish Revenge. A Drama in Three Acts”, Gellner compares Malinowski and his functionalist theory to Zeno from Elea and his philosophy of being as an Immovable One. In the second text, Language and Solitude. Wittgenstein, Malinowski and the Habsburg DilemmaI, he approaches Malinowski taking as a frame of reference the discrepancies between him and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Each one of them results the inverted image of the other. Although they both were inhabitants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they reflected the contradictions of their time, especially the opposition of the cosmopolitan and the nationalist visions of the man and the world. 

In 1922 we saw the realization of a methodologial revolution in Birtish anthropology, whos cretis is given Bronisław Malinowski. That revolution began in 1898, with the Cambridge University expedition to the Torres Strait in Melanesia. We accept the importance of the revolution, and the pivotal role of Malinowski in it, but we insist on the relevance of the participation of nine other British anthropologists in its preparation. The text is a brief presentation of these anthropologists’ work and of the final result as presented in Malinowski’s ethnography. On the basis of this empirical material I study the available sources of the gradual appearance of fieldwork in British social anthropological research in Melanesia and discuss the characteristics of the aforementioned revolution.
