Profesor de la Facultad de Derecho y de la Escuela de Gobierno y Economía de la Universidad Panamericana. -- DANIEL TORRES CHECA. Abogado por la Universidad Panamericana y candidato a maestro en Derecho Constitucional por la Escuela Libre de DerechoLas resoluciones de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación sobre el alcance del principio de relatividad y la protección ante la inacción de las autoridades administrativas, han aumentado el margen de incidencia de los jueces constitucionales en las políticas públicas. Este papel de los jueces es relevante para los estudios de derecho y de políticas públicas. Por ello, este artículo identifica y analiza tres casos de jueces federales que ordenan medidas de protección a la salud, el suministro de agua potable y un ingreso mínimo vital, de marzo a agosto de 2020. Hallamos que, a pesar de los criterios de la Suprema Corte, posiblemente los jueces no participan en el diseño de políticas públicas durante la pandemia y su papel se reduce a la reafirmación de valores sociales.The judicial resolutions by the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice regarding the relativity principle and protection against administrative authorities’ inaction have increased the judicial faculties of constitutional judges on public policies. The role of these judges is relevant for law studies and public policy studies. In this article, we identify and analyze three cases of federal judges that order measures about health protection, wáter supply, and a minimum living wage from March 1st to August 31st, 2020. We found that despite the Supreme Court criteria, judges very likely do not participate in public policy design during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their role is reduced just to the reaffirmation of social values
Here, we become islands
No full textHere, We Become Islands is the debut collection from a poet in motion at the borderlands of hip-hop and Puerto Rican culture, family history known and discovered, masculinity and beauty. These poems of blood-letting honesty shift narrative into lyric, elegy into celebration, and prayer into action. Full of rhythm and discovery these poems remap the line break and pivot into ecstasy, consecrate the unsaid, find roots in a shifting geography and the other. Here is a dancing at the crossroads between life and death. In Here, We Become Islands the poet is a spirit-bridge between his ancestors and a nomadic life inspired music.M.F.A.by Sevé Daniel Torre
Building audiences: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts
No full textBuilding Audiences examines the barriers to and the strategies for increasing audiences in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts sector. This research investigates the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of current and potential audiences.
What is in the report?
The findings reveal the key barriers facing audience attendance include:
uncertainty about how to behave at cultural events and fear of offending
lack of awareness with audiences not actively seeking information about Indigenous arts
and outdated perceptions of the sector – that it is only perceived as ‘serious or educational’.
Building Audiences also considered several strategies to build audiences for Indigenous arts:
providing skills development, advice and resourcing to Indigenous practitioners within the arts sector;
increasing representation of Indigenous artists in the main programing of arts companies by including more Indigenous people in decision making roles;
promoting relationships between Indigenous arts and non-Indigenous companies to present their work to wider audiences;
introducing children and young people to Indigenous arts through schools and extracurricular activities;
allowing audiences to feel comfortable engaging by creating accessible experiences;
implementing long-term strategies to change negative perceptions of Indigenous arts.
The project was commissioned by the Australia Council for the Arts and funding partners include Australia Council for the Arts; Faculty of Business and Law and Institute of Koorie Education, Deakin University; Melbourne Business School, The University of Melbourne
A critical assessment of the theology of Camilo Torres in the light of Latin American theology : a theological paradigm for peace with justice for Colombia
No full textThe thesis aims to provide a critical assessment of Camilo Torres’ concept of efficacious love in the light of a hermeneutics and ethics of liberation, to contribute theoretically to theological reflection upon the mission of the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches in Colombia, and generally in Latin America. It proposes the thesis that the theology of Camilo Torres, viewed from the perspective of a hermeneutics and an ethics of liberation, can be foundational for seeking, constructing, and sustaining peace with justice in a context of oppression and violence.
Based on the theological analysis, the academic and spiritual motivation should respond to two fundamental questions in our academic inquiry: what foundation exists in Camilo Torres’ theology for the construction of a just, peaceful, liberative society and to enable proximity to the excluded, victimized, and poor population in Colombia to be achieved? And how can we as Christians respond to the grace of God in living efficaciously the values of the Kingdom of God, in order to bring structural changes in Colombia? The implications of the answers to those questions would result in the possibility to execute an integrating theological proposal for peace with justice for the church in Colombia.
In an interpretative mode, we consider critically the multidisciplinary interaction of some of the theological foundations of liberation theology. Our task consists in clarifying and constructing theological presuppositions for a dialectical examination of the historical and current situation in Colombia, viewed in the light of the internal problems and realities. Thus, it is our intention in order to attempt a significant interdisciplinary juncture, to examine and interpret such relevant concepts as efficacious love, faith with works, kenosis, hypostatic union, hermeneutics and ethics of liberation, social justice, personal and collective socio-political conversion, and a praxis of faith as the church’s mission in response to the Colombian context of poverty and violence
Towards a Destructive, Unmonumental, Queer Hagiography: Félix González Torres and the Spiritual- Activist Potential of Destruction
No full textThis article presents an examination of two artworks by the late Cuban- American artist Félix González Torres, focusing primarily on the destructive strategies and theological potential of his work. After describing the activist and counter-monumental dimensions of «Untitled» (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) (1991) and «Untitled» (Lover Boys) (1991), the author examines these two pieces, as well as the artist’s life more generally, through the lens of queer martyrdom and queer theology to postulate a hagiographic take on González Torres’ life and oeuvre. Far from a definitive biographical study, this analysis is the result of interdisciplinary research mixed with queer imagination

Computational electronic structure studies of novel condensed matter phases
No full textThis dissertation compiles the bulk of my work as a PhD student in the research group of Professor Prashant K. Jain at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research was exclusively in the field of theoretical chemistry and materials science: I employed high-performance computing tools to perform electronic structure investigations of novel crystalline materials synthesized, some for the very first time, in the group. My placement in the experimentally-focused Jain group afforded multiple opportunities in which the discoveries of my fellow group members prompted me to conduct stand-alone or collaborative theoretical investigations of new nanomaterials. A summary of the experimental backdrop to my work is presented in Chapter 1, along with a description of the theoretical methods that were the mainstay of my PhD research. Chapter 2 presents work in which my density functional theory (DFT) calculations improved our understanding of the metastability of a previously unobserved vacancy ordering in a Cu2Se. Chapter 3 presents a different direction of investigations that we conducted on Cu2Se, this time into its superionic properties. The nucleation, kinetics, and correlation of lattice strain to the order-disorder superionic phase transition were explored through a combination of transmission electron microscopy and DFT. The correlation between lattice strain and superionicity is expanded upon in Chapter 4 where Prashant and I developed a theoretical basis on which to understand compressively strain-stabilized superionicity in Cu2Se and Li2Se. Chapter 5 shifts away from Cu2Se on to HgSe. Additionally, the focus changes from the structure and transport of cations to the structure and transport of electrons, specifically the electron-conducting surface states found in topological phases of matter. Bulk band-structure calculations and charge density character analysis that I carried out led us to hypothesize that a hexagonal phase of HgSe newly-synthesized bny the Jain group was a 3-D topological insulator. The unique topological surface states (TSS) of HgSe and their dependence on strain, crystallographic symmetry, and surface faceting are determined by DFT and presented in Chapter 6. Particularly, the effect of lattice strain on the dispersion and spin texture circles back to the central theme in the studies of super-ionic crystals: that small amounts of strain can significantly alter the charge transport properties of a material.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Daniel Dumett Torres, accepted the attached license on 2020-04-21 at 14:56.The student, Daniel Dumett Torres, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-04-21 at 15:04.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-04-24 at 13:06.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15022 on 2020-08-25 at 17:40:29Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-27T00:49:58Z (GMT).

No full textReconciliation or justice: what role does truth play in Mexico's redress for victims of atrocities?
No full textSince 2018, the concepts of truth, justice, and reconciliation have become increasingly important in the Mexican State’s judicial agenda. In Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s presidential term, two Truth Commissions were established to investigate cases of mass atrocities that have deeply affected the country’s social fabric. The first Truth Commission was established to look into the “Ayotzinapa Case” —a brutal episode of violence resulting in the disappearance of forty-three students. The second Truth Commission sought historical clarification of the atrocities committed in Mexico between 1965 and 1990, a time of political violence commonly known as the “Dirty War”. Despite sharing the same institutional name (commission) and being based on the same ideal (truth), closer examination reveals a conceptual split in their mechanisms and goals. This article shows that the Truth Commission for the Dirty War (“MEH”) revolves around a reconciliatory view, while the Truth Commission for the Ayotzinapa Case (“COVAJ”) prioritizes a sense of retributive justice. The article demonstrates why the selection of one political objective (e.g., reconciliation) resulted in the exclusion of another (e.g., justice) and how truth works inside each political process
State responsibility for wrongful denial of reedom: the criteria of the council of state to provide indemnification ofdamages.
No full textLa actividad u omisión del Estado, dentro del ámbito contractual o extracontractual y en el cumplimiento de cualquiera de sus tres funciones, ya se ejecutiva, legislativa o judicial, es susceptible de causar daños a los particulares que, de acuerdo con la más elemental noción de justicia, requieren ser reparados por su autor, esto es, por el Estado. De la misma forma, el principio de la igualdad de las cargas públicas contempla que ningún ciudadano puede soportar más exacciones o perjuicios de parte del Estado que aquellos que la Ley expresamente señala como obligatorios. Respecto a la responsabilidad extracontractual, se entiende presente en el evento en que entre víctima y autor del daño, en este caso el Estado, no exista vínculo anterior alguno, o que aunque exista tal vínculo, el daño que sufre la víctima no proviene de dicha relación anterior, sino de otra circunstancia. Es por esto que el autor del daño está obligado a indemnizar a la víctima de un perjuicio que no proviene de un vínculo jurídico previo entre las partes. La Rama Judicial en Colombia no está exenta de cometer errores que llegan de cierta forma a causar un daño en las personas intervinientes dentro de un proceso judicial, ya sea por error judicial, por el defectuoso funcionamiento de la Administración de Justicia, o en casos de privación injusta de la libertad.PregradoAbogadoThe activity or mission of the State, within the field of contract or tort and the fulfillment of any of its three functions, whether executive, legislative or judicial, is likely to cause harm to individuals, according to the most elementary notion of justice, need to be repaired by its author, that is, by the State. Likewise, the principle of equality of public burdens provides that no citizen can support more charges or damages from the state than those expressly states that the act as required. With regard to liability, this means in the event that between victim and tortfeasor in this case the state does not exist any link above, or that although such a link exists, the damage suffered by the victim does not come from this previous relationship, but in other circumstances. That's why the tortfeasor is obliged to compensate the victim for damage which is not from a previous legal relationship between the parties. The judiciary in Colombia is not exempt from making mistakes that come in a certain wayto cause damage to persons involved in legal proceedings, either by judicial error by thedefective functioning of the Administration of Justice, or in cases of unjust deprivation of liberty
