    Jesús A. Bejarano: la guerra y la paz

    No full text
    This paper pretends to be an analytical itinerary of the works of Jesus Antonio Bejarano that deal with the Colombian violence phenomenon. Initially, the author came through a critical division: hisreflections about war and his reflections about peace. Such a division has been the product of what Bejarano baptized as "the tension between public and private [affairsJ" -democratic rationality versus economic individual rationality- and underlies as the frontier that led him from his initial discipline, economy, to other social sciences such as political science and sociology. The journey through disciplinary frontiers combined with academic rigour is what, in the author's opinion, establishes the stamp of an absolutely singular piece of work.Este artículo intenta ser un itinerario analítico de las obras de Jesús Antonio Bejarano relacionadas con el conflicto armado colombiano. Inicialmente se establece una disyunción nuclear: sus reflexiones sobre la guerra y sus reflexiones sobre la paz. Dicha disyunción es provocada por 10 que Bejarano bautizó como 'la tensión entre lo público y 10 privado' -racionalidad democrática versus racionalidad económica individual- y constituye la frontera que 10 condujo desde su disciplina inicial, la economía, hacia otras ciencias sociales como la politología y la sociología. El recorrido entre fronteras disciplinarias, combinado con el rigor académico, es 10 que en opinión del autor marcará la impronta de una obra absolutamente singular

    Bejarano frente a la política comercial agropecuaria

    No full text
    This article analyzes the development of Jesus A. Bejarano\u27s thoughts on the commercial agricultural policy. For this purpose, the author examines Bejarano\u27s writings at the beginnings of the opening up of agriculture in the very early nineties, the papers he produced during the middle of the decade, and the influence he may have had on SAC\u27s thinking. This work shows that although Bejarano strongly departed from the simplistic opinion of those who believe that the restructuring of agriculture is best left solely to market forces, nevertheless he did not favor a radical protectionist policy. On the contrary, he supported a transitional, gradual, long-term policy that would generate efficiency and competitiveness, and he was little inclined in encouraging income policies favoring specific agricultural groups.Este artículo analiza la evolución del pensamiento de Jesús A. Bejarano sobre la política comercial agropecuaria. Para ello, se examinan los trabajos que Bejarano escribió cuando comenzó la apertura de la agricultura a principios de la década de los noventa, los artículos que escribió a mediados de la década y la influencia que ejerció sobre el pensamiento de la SAC. El artículo muestra que pese a que él se apartó considerablemente de la opinión simplista de que lo más adecuado es dejar la reestructuración de la agricultura exclusivamente a las fuerzas del mercado, tampoco defendió una política proteccionista radical. Por el contrario, defendió una política de transición gradual y de largo plazo que aumentara la eficiencia Y la competitividad, y poco se inclinaba a impulsar políticas de ingresos que favorecíeran a grupos agrícolas específicos

    CICAS: Toward a critical framework of information literacy in Addiction Science

    No full text
    This paper is an attempt to suggest a critical framework for addiction information literacy. Since the ACRL information literacy standards were updated in 2015, our field is in need of guidelines about how to translate its general principles to meet the special needs of our diverse audiences. The authors wish to identify the unique application of the ACRL standards to the field of addiction science. An applied and transdisciplinary science requires a particular emphasis on evaluating sources and a special regard for the sensitive nature of the information sought. The authors' exploratory information literacy sessions have been presented in various settings with researchers ranging from post-docs to distinguished professors; counselors at the bachelors, masters, and continuing education levels; undergraduate and graduate students; and the general public. This presentation draws upon these sessions and calls for the collective effort of substance abuse librarians to provide both a general overview and specific customized training programs for our distinctive field.Peer reviewe

    Az addikciótudomány történetéből: E. M. Jellinek

    No full text
    This paper pays tribute to a pioneer in addiction science, Elvin Morton Jellinek, born 125 years ago. The authors were inspired to look into Jellinek’s pre-alcohol years while compiling his comprehensive bibliography. This article shares their results in Hungarian for the first time. Jellinek’s role in laying the foundations of a multidisciplinary field is not considered smaller due to his mysterious background and gaps in his biography, also related to his recently verified Hungarian origin. Instead, his complex approach to the alcohol problem, reflected by his complete bibliography, might be better interpreted with an awareness of his past.Peer reviewe

    A tribute to Bunky at 125: A comprehensive bibliography of E. M. Jellinek’s publications

    No full text
    Objective: E. M. Jellinek is considered one of the founders of alcohol science. On the 125th anniversary of his birth, the authors wish to contribute to existing, incomplete bibliographies of his work by offering a more comprehensive bibliography that includes his non–alcohol-studies publications as well as newly discovered alcohol-related items. Method: After we reviewed the two existing Jellinek bibliographies, records were checked against the full-text items to correct errors and discrepancies. This led to the consolidation of the two bibliographies as well as the discovery of various reprints and republished titles. Based on the authors’ parallel biographical investigations into Jellinek’s lesser researched past, it was established that he had started his scientific career much earlier than previously documented. Additional publications attributed to E. M. Jellinek under various names were sought, located, and collected from geographically diverse sources in several languages, with the help of an international network of academic librarians. References were organized and separated by publication type, with reprinted and republished texts arranged underneath the original entries. Results: Jellinek’s comprehensive bibliography covers 70 years, from 1912 to 1982, with 165 original publications, as compared with the 90 and 96 publications, respectively, of the previous bibliographies. When reprints and republished items were included, the number of publications totals 308, as compared with the previous respective totals of 117 and 116. Conclusions: The new Jellinek bibliography highlights his multidisciplinary approach to several scientific disciplines and provides the potential to reevaluate his contributions and total scholarly impact.See supplemental material for bibliography.Peer reviewe
