Womeńs social movements and their consolidation as interlocutors and political actors in the construction of peace in Medellín, Colombia [Los movimientos sociales de mujeres y su consolidación como interlocutor y actor político en la construcción de la paz en Medellín, Colombia]
No full textThe article analyzes the role played by womeńs social movements in the demand for justice within the Colombian conflict, placing them as recognized actors in the political arena for the defense of human rights, as well as a focus of counter-power. Applying a gender perspective, we studied the communicative strategies that have given legitimacy to two associations, namely: "Mothers of Candelaria" and "Women Walking for Truth", both located in Medellín, Colombia
Methodological implications of assessing ict initiatives from the field of communication [Implicaciones metodológicas de la evaluación de iniciativas tic desde el campo de la comunicación]
No full textIntroduction: This article explains the epistemological implications leading to the generation of a qualitative ICT Evaluation Tool. Such tool was validated through a broad research process which included two pilot tests under the modality of consultancy work. Objective: Investigate the meanings and representations made by the subjects involved in an ICT initiative through the design and testing of a relevant evaluation tool. Materials and methods: Using ethnography, the meanings and representations made by the subjects involved in an ICT initiative were researched through their relationship with technologies. To do this, instruments constituting the ValoraTic Tool were used: focus groups, semi-structured interviews and digital forums. Results: It is possible to analyze the achievements of an ICT initiative through an appropriate evaluation system allowing to analyze issues such as the level of significance of technological tools for users, the generation of indicators that respond to their own contexts, and the social capital achieved in an environment mediated by this type of technology. This is done by using as conceptual bases the vision of education offered by legitimized organizations such as Unesco, and taking advantage of novel digital possibilities such as digital ethnography. Conclusions: ValoraTic constitutes a methodological possibility whose basic principle is to analyze the generation of knowledge in environments mediated by technology, allowing to understand selfcontexts with their structural limitations, in order to reach greater technological appropriation. © Corporacion Universitaria Lasallista

Strategies of the Mexican State to Underestimate Femicides [Estrategias del Estado mexicano para minimizar los feminicidios]
No full textThis article analyses the connections between the militarization processes in Ciudad Juarez (Mexico), from 2008 to 2015, and women's disappearances and femicides. This work provides updated data and analysis on this phenomenon, and aims to demonstrate the existence of strategies by the authorities to underestimate the facts and blame them on the victims. Our analysis relies on seminal works on gender studies, and is supported by documentary work with official data from Ciudad Juarez's Prosecutor Office, as well as on reports from non-governmental organizations. We used a methodology of qualitative approach where ethnography prevailed, conducting participant observation, as well as personal interviews. © 2019, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina

In Situ Geochronology for the Next Decade: Mission Designs for the Moon, Mars, and Vesta
No full textGeochronology is an indispensable tool for reconstructing the geologic history of planets, essential to understanding the formation and evolution of our solar system. Bombardment chronology bounds models of solar system dynamics, as well as the timing of volatile, organic, and siderophile element delivery. Absolute ages of magmatic products provide constraints on the dynamics of magma oceans and crustal formation, as well as the longevity and evolution of interior heat engines and distinct mantle/crustal source regions. Absolute dating also relates habitability markers to the timescale of evolution of life on Earth. However, the number of terrains important to date on worlds of the inner solar system far exceeds our ability to conduct sample return from all of them. In preparation for the upcoming Decadal Survey, our team formulated a set of medium-class (New Frontiers) mission concepts to three different locations (the Moon, Mars, and Vesta) where sites that record solar system bombardment, magmatism, and habitability are uniquely preserved and accessible. We developed a notional payload to directly date planetary surfaces, consisting of two instruments capable of measuring radiometric ages, an imaging spectrometer, optical cameras to provide site geologic context and sample characterization, a traceelement analyzer to augment sample contextualization, and a sample acquisition and handling system. Landers carrying this payload to the Moon, Mars, and Vesta would likely fit into the New Frontiers cost cap in our study (∼$1B). A mission of this type would provide crucial constraints on planetary history while also enabling a broad suite of complementary investigations 2021. The Author(s).

Gospel and culture - accommodation or tension? : an enquiry into the priorities of the Gospel in the light of Jamaica's historico-cultural experience vis-à-vis Western Christian civilization
No full textIn this thesis we enquire into the essence and mission of
Christianity in the light of the Jamaican historico-cultural experience.
Chapter one is devoted to a partial investigation into the nature of
Western Christianity vis-a-vis Western Civilization - the modern dilemma,
its historical beginnings and development, its response to philosophical
ideas and other cultural positions, Church-State relations, its divisions,
and its social attitude.
We next identify the major elements in the Jamaican experience as
revealed in the impact of the Spanish conquest on the original Arawak
population, the enslavement of African Peoples, and the post-slavery
repercussions vis-a-vis Western Christianity.
In order better to understand the New Testament Gospel we locate its
origin in the Old Testament examining its relationship with the Law and
Temple, Priesthood and Prophets, observing its social implications, and we
follow it en route to the New Testament.
In chapter four we engage in a brief examination of the Hellenistic
cultural environment including the Jewish Diaspora, in order to have a
grasp of the initial interaction between Gospel and Culture.
Our concern in chapter five is to recover the essence of Jesus’
proclamation of the Gospel as witnessed to in the Synoptics. From this
go on to examine its transmission to the wider Hellenistic milieu,
concentrating on the Pauline and Johannine presentations.
Finally it is argued that the Gospel in its transmission across
cultures should be proclaimed, as far as possible, without cultural
accretions; that the prevailing categories and symbols understood within
the indigenous Jamaican culture be appreciated and, where possible,
appropriated for purposes of communication; and, fundamentally, that in
all circumstances the Church should faithfully guarantee a synchronization
between its message and action, and Jesus’ Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
described in terms of Good News to the Poor
