, para identificar qué actitudes y comportamientos perciben como violentos en una situación de pareja mujeres de diferentes edades y niveles educativos, y saber con qué frecuencia y modalidades se presentan; a partir de esta información, conocer la posible correlación entre la percepción de conductas violentas y su ocurrencia, replicando dos estudios anteriores que conforman una investigación más amplia. La muestra se integró con 200 mujeres divididas en dos Estudios. En el primero se incorporó a 50 mujeres adolescentes y a 50 jóvenes; en el segundo a 50 mujeres con nivel educativo profesional (licenciatura) y a 50 con un nivel básico (primaria). La información se obtuvo aplicando el VIDOFyP, y permitió observar la presencia de comportamientos violentos en ambos estudios. En general, las mujeres jóvenes y las de nivel profesional mostra

1 The aim of this pilot study was to investigate if the porphyrinuria produced by arsenic in rodents was present in humans chronically exposed to arsenic via drinking water. 2 The concentrations of uroporphyrin, coproporphyrin and total arsenic in urine were compared between 21 individuals exposed to arsenic in their drinking water (0.390 mg 1-1) and 19 controls exposed to 0.012 mg 1-1. 3 Arsenic-exposed individuals had significantly higher total arsenic concentrations in their urine than the control group. No increase in urinary porphyrin excretion was found in exposed individuals. However, an inversion of the coproporphyrin/uroporphyrin (COPRO/ URO) ratio was observed in most exposed individuals. This inversion was caused both, by a decrease in coproporphyrin excretion and an increase in uroporphyrin excretion. 4 No demonstrable correlations between porphyrin excretion, the COPRO/URO ratio and total arsenic concentration in urine were found in exposed individuals.
