“…To understand this low mainstreaming of the gender perspective, we must take into account that, in recent years, neoliberal measures have been adopted in the university context that have encouraged teachers to prioritize research over teaching, both to consolidate their careers and in order to gain access to a permanent position [14,15]. These measures have especially affected young women with childcare responsibilities, because caring for family members or students continues to be a woman's task [16]. Furthermore, the data from the Científicas en Cifras report confirm low male participation, around 25%, in training actions on gender equality in universities and public research organizations.…”

In the academic world, there are also gender inequalities, which are especially visible in certain masculinized STEM areas, such as physics and mathematics. An essential factor in correcting these inequalities is the involvement of men, who should act as “allies” in the university setting. Likewise, as the literature shows us, we must offer models with gender-incongruent roles to break down stereotypes and promote non-traditional behaviors. However, to date, these actions have been especially directed toward women, who generally do not hold power and therefore have less possibility of promoting change. For the first time, this work compiles, in a single document, important male physicists and mathematicians who acted as allies of women throughout history. These examples can be presented to provide male references in the teaching of physics and mathematics at university (and high school). With this initiative, we intend to contribute to incorporating the gender perspective in university teaching, since, in practice, university professors are unaware of references of alternative masculinities in the academic world. We hope that this article will be the seed to recover hidden male allies in these and other scientific fields. This can help break down stereotypes, and contrary to previous actions, this work is especially directed toward men.

Curves are complex data. Tools for visualizing, exploring, and discovering the structure of a data set of curves are valuable. In this paper, we propose a scalable methodology to solve this challenge. On the one hand, we consider two distances in the shape and size space, one well-known distance and another recently proposed, which differentiate the contribution in shape and in size of the elements considered to compute the distance. On the other hand, we use archetypoid analysis (ADA) for the first time in elastic shape analysis. ADA is a recent technique in unsupervised statistical learning, whose objective is to find a set of archetypal observations (curves in this case), in such a way that we can describe the data set as convex combinations of these archetypal curves. This makes interpretation easy, even for non-experts. Archetypal curves or pure types are extreme cases, which also facilitates human understanding. The methodology is illustrated with a simulated data set and applied to a real problem. It is important to know the distribution of foot shapes to design suitable footwear that accommodates the population. For this purpose, we apply our proposed methodology to a real data set composed of foot contours from the adult Spanish population.

La universidad pública española cuenta con sólidas fortalezas que se mantienen a lo largo de las décadas. Sin embargo, también podemos señalar sólidas debilidades que son tan pertinaces como los puntos fuertes. En este artículo voy a señalar esos puntos débiles con relación al objetivo de llegar a una universidad más igualitaria en términos de sexo/género. Me centraré en las cuestiones laborales y de promoción en la carrera académica del Personal Docente e Investigador (PDI) a tiempo completo. Para este análisis partiré de los recientes estudios e informes que desde diferentes ministerios e instituciones se han publicado con datos actualizados a los años 2020 a 2023. En este análisis propondré un marco conceptual feminista desde el que abordar las barreras que mantienen la desigualdad. Se trata del marco que parte de los conceptos de patriarcado académico y de capitalismo académico. La aportación será una reflexión que desde las demandas feministas explique una ruta de salida de ese patriarcado académico.
