Seeking visibility: experiences and needs of female ex-combatants of the FARC-EP on the stage of peacebuilding
Get PDFLa insurgencia se ha caracterizado por divulgar discursos de igualdad entre hombres y mujeres, vinculando a sus filas la participación de la mujer como combatiente. Teniendo en cuenta el amplio protagonismo de la mujer en la guerra, esta investigación se pregunta acerca de las experiencias, aprendizajes y retos de las mujeres excombatientes de la guerrilla de las FARC-EP, lo anterior, en razón de la reintegración a la civilidad que han emprendido estas mujeres derivado de la firma del Acuerdo Final para la terminación del conflicto y la construcción de una paz estable y duradera. Para lo anterior, se indaga acerca de aspectos como salud, trabajo, seguridad y demás en los registros de la ARN y, además, se realiza una entrevista semiestructurada a profundidad a cinco mujeres excombatientes de las FARC-EP, residentes en el Espacio Territorial de Capacitación y Reintegración de Icononzo Tolima y en la ciudad de Bogotá. Encontrando que el contexto social de crianza caracterizado por el abandono estatal y la presencia constante de la guerrilla, facilitó su ingreso a la organización; igualmente, se encuentra la resignificación del rol de mujer, convirtiéndose en un sujeto político e incidente en el cambio social. Así mismo, se indaga sobre la maternidad y la crianza, encontrando mujeres decididas con el cambio social en pro de sus nuevas familias y comprometidas con la lucha desde el escenario político. Finalmente, como retos identificados se encuentra el relativo a la seguridad y los temores con la terminación de los acuerdos pactados, siendo estos, obstáculos para la reintegración social efectiva de las mujeres excombatientes.The insurgency has been characterized by spreading discourses of equality between men and women, linking to its ranks the participation of women as combatants. Taking into account the broad role of women in war, this research asks about the experiences, learning and challenges of women ex-combatants of the FARC-EP guerrilla, the previous, because of the reintegration to civility that They have undertaken these women derived from the signing of the Acuerdo Final para la terminación del conflicto y la construcción de una paz estable y duradera. For the above, it inquires about aspects such as health, work, security and others in the ARN registers and, in addition, a semi-structured in-depth interview is conducted with five ex-combatant women of the FARC-EP, residents of the Territorial Space of Training and Reintegration of Icononzo Tolima and in the city of Bogotá. Finding that the social context of parenting characterized by state abandonment and the constant presence of the guerrillas, facilitated their entry into the organization; also, there is the resignification of the role of women, becoming a political subject and incident in social change. Likewise, it inquires about motherhood and upbringing, finding women determined with social change in favor of their new families and committed to the fight from the political scene. Finally, the identified challenges include security and fears with the termination of the agreed agreements, which are obstacles to the effective social reintegration of ex-combatant women

Land, Justice, And Angie Debo Telling The Truth To-And About-Your Neighbors
Get PDFWhen Angie Debo was an old woman, she lived in her hometown of Marshall, Oklahoma, where she had warm and close ties with her neighbors. She also had a more geographically dispersed network: a list of several hundred people, scattered around the nation, whom she would mobilize to write senators and congressmen, or to the president, on behalf of particular campaigns for Indian rights. She sent the members of her network mimeographed letters and in urgent circumstances made phone calls to them. She got her network geared up to write in support of Alaskan Native land claims, an enlargement of the Havasupai Reservation, and groundwater rights for the Papago or Tohono O\u27odham. She attended closely to events in Marshall and to events all over North America.
After she retired, Angie Debo did some international traveling. She went to Europe, Africa, and Mexico. In Africa she became friends with a woman who took care of her when she got sick; they stayed in touch for the rest of her life, and Angie Debo helped pay for the education of the children of this African woman. Debo traveled to Russia, and there is something very remarkable about the way she had been interested in and preoccupied by Russia since she was a teenager in Oklahoma. During the Vietnam War, Debo found her thoughts repeatedly turning to this tragedy; it seemed to her an extension of what she called America\u27s real imperialism, which had begun with the conquest of Indian people and which relied on an unfortunate trust in military force. Until the United States reckoned with the early history of its imperialismusually called westward expansion or the frontier -it would occupy a morally compromised position, Debo thought, in trying to uplift the world and spread ideals of democracy and justice.1
Angie Debo\u27s interests then were at once very local and very expansive, truly global. Her sense of the world\u27s connectedness is one dimension of a host of qualities that make her an inspiration. She was entirely and committedly Oklahoman, and entirely and committedly human. Contemplating her example truly stirs the soul.
Angie Debo\u27s capacity to inspire is also marked by a zone of mystery. Her courageous campaign to reveal the injustices done to Indian people, to recognize and explore their internal perspectives and experiences, and, generally, to write honestly and realistically about the process of displacement that put white Americans in possession of most of Oklahoma and the American West contains a puzzle: while Debo is best known for this critical and searching perspective on the conquest of North America, on other occasions she wrote in quite a different vein, returning to a much more familiar and conventional celebration of pioneer hardihood and enterprise. This is a paradox.2
In the twenty-first century, I am less able to cruise past this paradox. While a comparison to Jekyll and Hyde would certainly overstate the case, there do seem to be two public-record Angie Debos: Angie Debo #1, the justly famous, often-reprinted, often-cited author, who wrote critically and openly about the cruel, manipulative process of dispossession that made the modern state of Oklahoma possible, and Angie Debo #2, the much less famous, much less reprinted, much less cited author, who wrote cheerfully about pioneer courage and determination and who made and retained an easy peace with the frontier history associated with Frederick Jackson Turner. Angie Debo # 1 is the author of the famous books Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Republic (1934), And Still the Waters Run (1940), and A History of the Indians of the United States (1970). Angie Debo #2 is also the author of two books, her only novel-Prairie City (1944) and Oklahoma: Foot-loose and Fancy-free (1949)

Silenciamiento transcripcional en el trivalente sexual meiótico de murciélagos pertenecientes al género Artibeus, familia Phyllostomidae
Get PDFThe sex-chromosome system among many bat species of the Artibeus genus, which belong to the family Phyllostomidae, is an exception to the general pattern of sex determination XX / XY among eutherian mammals: they have a multiple sex chromosome system which forms an XY1Y2 body with two synaptic regions between X- Y1 and X- Y2.\nCombining electron microscopy and fluorescent immunolocalization techniques of specific meiotic protein, the results of this thesis show the presence of histone variant ?-H2AX and BRCA1 in the asynaptic segments of the differential regions of the XY1Y2 body, suggesting that these regions are transcriptionally silenced. Moreover, it is confirmed the diploid number, the chromosome morphology, the ultrastructure sequential, and the trivalent XY1Y2 sex determination in A. lituratus and A. planirostris. Furthermore, it is suggested that basic mechanism of meiosis that prevents the spreading of chromatin inactivation to the autosomal segments of the XY1Y2 body in both species, is not the presence of NORs.\nThe present work allows advancing in the comprehension of the basic mechanisms of meiosis in mammals, including human carriers of structural chromosomal rearrangements.Fil: Barajas Ruiz, Angie. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica; ArgentinaLos murciélagos del género Artibeus, pertenecientes a la familia Phyllostomidae, presentan una excepción al patrón típico de determinación sexual XX/XY de los mamíferos euterios: se establece un sistema de cromosomas sexuales múltiples con la consecuente formación de un cuerpo XY1Y2, que incluye dos regiones de sinapsis entre cromosomas X-Y1 y X-Y2.\nCombinando las técnicas de microscopía electrónica e inmunolocalización fluorescente de proteínas meióticas específicas, se confirma la presencia de la variante histónica ?-H2AX y de BRCA1 en la región diferencial del cuerpo XY1Y2, indicando que dichas regiones asinápticas están silenciadas transcripcionalmente. Por otra parte, se confirma lo reportado en la literatura respecto al número diploide, morfología cromosómica, ultraestructura secuencial, determinación del trivalente sexual XY1Y2 en A. lituratus y A. planirostris, y se establece que el mecanismo básico de la meiosis que impide la extensión de la inactivación de la cromatina de tipo sexual hacia los segmentos autosómicos del cuerpo XY1Y2 no es la presencia de NORs, pues estos se alojan en los cromosomas autosómicos y no en los que componen el trivalente sexual XY1Y2.\nLos resultados de esta tesina permiten avanzar en la comprensión de las características típicas de la meiosis en mamíferos, sea normal o patológica, incluyendo a los humanos portadores de reordenamientos cromosómicos estructurales.Magíster de la Universidad de Buenos Aires en Biología Molecular Médic
Caring in Non-Ideal Conditions: Animal Rescue Organizations and Morally Justified Killing
No full textShelter staff in cash-strapped open-admission shelters are locked into a tragedy that is not of their own making: they are routinely and unavoidably confronted with the tragic choice of either killing animals or failing to care for the animals they are tasked with protecting. Consequently, open-admission shelters regularly kill animals who could, but for the want of more time, money, or a suitable home, have led reasonably good lives. This chapter explains how sometimes shelter workers have a full moral justification to kill an animal for non-euthanasia reasons and yet the animal killed is nonetheless wronged. The author argues that this wrong is perpetrated by the state, which is responsible for the distributive injustice that makes it impossible for shelter workers to rescue and care for all animals in need. Moreover, when shelter workers have justification for non-euthanasia killing, all individuals within the political community are responsible for the wrong done
Covid -19 como factor de riesgo para mortalidad y morbilidad postquirúrgicas en pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal
Get PDFDeterminar si el COVID-19 es un factor de riesgo para mortalidad y
morbilidad postquirúgicas en pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal por el
servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital Belén de Trujillo y Hospital Regional
Docente de Trujillo entre marzo y diciembre del 2020.
Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectiva multicéntrico,
realizado en dos de los principales hospitales nivel III-1 de la región, en el cual se
incluyeron 213 pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal entre marzo y diciembre
del 2020. Según los criterios de selección de dividieron en dos grupos en función
de la presencia o no de prueba positiva para COVID-19, donde 69 fueron incluidos
en el grupo expuesto y 144 en el grupo no expuesto. Los datos de las historias
clínicas fueron analizados mediante la prueba U de Mann Whitney y Chi Cuadrado,
fueron asociaciones significativamente estadísticas aquellas que presentaron
p<0,05.
Resultados: No se encontró asociación de COVID-19 con mortalidad a los 30 días
(p=0,750), readmisión (p=0,868) ni reintervención quirúrgica (p=0,821). Tampoco
se asoció a neumonía (4,3% vs 4,2%, p=0,951), insuficiencia respiratoria aguda
(4,3% vs 8,3%; p=0.287) ni necesidad de ventilación mecánica (4,3% vs 3,5%;
p=0.404). En cuanto a complicaciones hemodinámicas no se demostró la
asociación con shock hipovolémico (0%; p=0,000), sepsis (0% vs 4,9%; p=0.063)
ni shock séptico (0% vs 3,5; p=0,117). No se hallaron casos de complicaciones
trombóticas en ninguna de las cohortes.
Conclusiones: La infección por COVID-19 no es un factor de riesgo para
mortalidad ni complicaciones pulmonares, hemodinámicas o trombóticas en los
pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal.To determine if COVID-19 is a risk factor with post-surgical mortality and
morbidity in patients undergoing abdominal surgery by the General Surgery service
of the Hospital Belén de Trujillo and Hospital Regional Docente de Trujillo between
March and December 2020.
Material and methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was carried out,
carried out in two of the main level III-1 hospitals in the region, which included 213
patients who underwent abdominal surgery between March and December 2020.
According to the criteria Selection criteria were divided into two groups based on the
presence or absence of a positive test for COVID-19, where 69 were included in the
exposed group and 144 in the unexposed group. The data from the clinical histories
were analyzed using the Mann Whitney U test and Chi Square, associations that
presented p<0.05 were statistically significant.
Results: No association of COVID-19 with 30-day mortality (p=0.750), readmission
(p=0.868) or surgical reoperation (p=0.821) was found. Nor was it associated with
pneumonia (4.3% vs 4.2%, p=0.951), acute respiratory failure (4.3% vs 8.3%,
p=0.287) or need for mechanical ventilation (4.3% vs 3.5%, p=0.404). Regarding
hemodynamic complications, the association with hypovolemic shock (0%;
p=0.000), sepsis (0% vs 4.9%; p=0.063) or septic shock (0% vs 3.5; p=0.117) was
not demonstrated. ). No cases of thrombotic complications were found in any of the
cohorts.
