En esta nota de investigación se presenta un sistema de indicadores compuestosdiseñado para describir la brecha digital de género. Esta herramienta,denominada Sistema de Indicadores de Género y TIC (SIGTIC), entendemosque supone un avance en la medición y análisis de la situacióndiferenciada de mujeres y hombres en la Sociedad de la Información. Suaplicación permite: a) hacer comparaciones inter-género, determinadaspor el grado de e-igualdad; b) realizar análisis intra-género, en funcióndel grado de e-inclusión de cada sexo; y c) contextualizar los resultadosobtenidos con los correspondientes a 31 países europeos. Además, esaperspectiva analítica transnacional se concreta en unos rankings de paísesy su clasificación en cinco categorías en función del nivel de uso de TIC,combinado con el grado de igualdad de género existente.

Every year, an undetermined number of loggerhead turtles cross the Gibraltar Strait entering and going out of the Mediterranean Sea. An unknown percentage of them strand on the Andalusian beaches, alive or dead, with an unequal distribution along the coast. We found a geographical pattern in the density of strandings, as well as in the proportion of them that were alive and dead. Atlantic areas receive a higher number of strandings, although most of them correspond to dead individuals, especially on the west coast (province of Huelva), whereas on the Mediterranean coast there is less difference between the number of alive and dead turtles stranded. The causes of stranding also presented a spatial segregation along these coasts: net fisheries were concentrated in Huelva, cold stunning was more frequent in Atlantic Cádiz, and debilitated turtle syndrome and longline were biased to the Mediterranean coast. The Atlantic areas might be an important accumulation zone for turtles, but where they endure a high human-induced stress and mortality. In the Mediterranean area, different causes, such as the narrowness of the Alborán basin, the ocean currents, human activity, or the number of turtles crossing, may increase the number of turtles stranding alive on the coast.
