El diablo dijo… “¡acción!”: Hellboy en el laberinto Del Toro
No full textDirected by Guillermo del Toro from the comic-book created by Mike Mignola, Hellboy (2004) is the most cherished film by the author of Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). This paper analyses the film’s literary debts –gothic narrative, Lovecraft, Machen, american pulp serials– as well as filmic homages and borrows –Spielberg, Lucas, 50’s science fiction, B movies, cartoons, manga, etc.– that enriches the deltorian imaginery
Evolución de las finanzas públicas de Toro: Una mirada descriptiva 1985 - 2022
No full textUna estructura fiscal sólida en cualquier nivel de la administración pública es una condición necesaria para realizar todas las acciones de política pública imperiosas y las deseadas para satisfacer las necesidades de sus pobladores.
Este documento presenta una breve revisión histórica de la evolución y composición de los ingresos y gastos de Toro 1985 - 2022. Para realizar nuestro análisis empleamos datos del Sistema de Información del Formulario Único Territorial (SISFUT) y del Departamento Nacional de Planeación (DNP). Para permitir la comparabilidad durante el periodo, todas las cifras son expresadas a precios constantes del 2022 y en términos per cápita. Es decir, se controla por la inflación y por el crecimiento poblacional del municipio o distrito. Así mismo, esto permitirá realizar comparaciones con otras entidades territoriales de Colombia similares.
Para lograr lo anterior, este trabajo está dividido en seis sesiones: la primera sección es la presente introducción. La segunda y tercera sección muestran la evolución de los ingresos y los gastos respectivamente. En la cuarta sección se exponen los Indicadores de Desempeño Fiscal (IDF) para el Distrito. En la quinta sección los resultados del IDF comparado con entidades territoriales similares y en la sexta, los comentarios finales
Choice Experiments in Enviromental Impact Assessment: The Toro 3 Hydroelectric Project and the Recreo Verde Tourist Center in Costa Rica
No full textChoice experiments, a stated preference valuation method, are proposed as a tool to assign monetary values to environmental externalities during the ex-ante stages of environmental impact assessment. This case study looks at the impacts of the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity’s Toro 3 hydroelectric project and its affects on the Recreo Verde tourism center in San Carlos, Costa Rica. Compared to other valuation methods (e.g., travel cost and contingent valuation), choice experiments can create hypothetical but realistic scenarios for consumers and generate restoration alternatives for the affected good. Although they have limitations that must be taken into account in environmental impact assessments, incorporating economic parameters—especially resource constraints and tradeoffs—can substantially enrich the assessment process.stated-preference, economic valuation, choice experiments, hydropower, tourism, Costa Rica

No full textDifferentiating neurons delaminate from the neuroepithelium via the process of apical abscission, which involves loss of apical polarity and primary cilium disassembly. This corresponds with cessation of canonical, Gli transcription factor-dependent Shh signalling and leads to cell cycle exit. Newborn neurons undergo a switch to non-canonical, transcription factor-independent Shh signalling, which mediates axon navigation. As cilia play important roles transducing extracellular signals, it is conceivable that the switch from canonical to non-canonical Shh signalling is mediated by remodelling the cilium during early stages of neuronal differentiation. Live tissue imaging reveals that differentiating neurons retain an Arl13b+ particle which elongates and progressively initiates intraflagellar trafficking as it transits towards the cell body, indicating cilium remodelling. Strikingly, disruption of cilia during and after remodelling inhibits axon extension and leads to dramatic axon collapse respectively. Remarkably, ciliary accumulation of the Shh transducer Smoothened is progressively restored during cilium remodelling in the absence of Gli transcriptional activity. Furthermore, the remodelled cilium also accumulates GPR161, a negative regulator of Gli dependent Shh signalling. These results indicate that newborn neurons are responding to Shh via a non-canonical pathway through the remodelled cilium, providing differentiating neurons the opportunity to configure a new signalling centre. </p

Defying the law, negotiating change The Futanke’s opposition to the national ban on FGM in Senegal
No full textThis thesis is concerned with the politics of the preservation and ‘abandonment’ of female circumcision in Fouta Toro, Senegal. The focal point of analysis is the overt opposition to the law criminalising female genital cutting in 1999, and development projects raising awareness about excision in human rights and reproductive health education programmes. As an ethnography of the politics around bodily practices in the light of governmental and non-governmental intervention, the thesis looks at how different interest groups justify their position towards excision. This is a timely enquiry, given the Senegalese government’s ‘acceleration programme of the complete abandonment of excision by 2015’ and some Futanke leaders’ non-compliance with, and opposition to this intervention.
After providing details about ‘the ban’ on ‘female genital mutilation’ in Senegal and a critical reflection on the events that are seen to have led to the call for this ban, I carefully disentangle what ‘the opposition to the law’ is and who disagrees with ‘the abandonment’ of the practice in Fouta Toro. The central part of the thesis is guided by an analysis of how excision is embedded in constructions of personhood, sociality and ethnic identity, and how the body is imagined and located in this process. I show how conceptions of ethnic purity and pride are formulated in terms of fear about a ‘loss of culture’ and ‘foreign invasion’ which nourishes discourses of opposition to the law and non-governmental intervention. Others use ‘human rights’ associated with non-governmental organisations and the state as a vehicle to express their views against excision and those who oppose its criminalisation. I examine how idioms like ‘the state’, ‘human rights’ and ‘Futanke way of life’ feature in discourses around the ban of excision in Fouta Toro, and how respectability and honour are maintained through competing representations of the female body as a site of morality. Some claim the female body – a reproducer of cultural identities – with reference to duties through kin obligations, others with reference to ‘human rights’ and ‘the state’.
Based on 15 months’ ethnographic fieldwork in Fouta Toro and nine years working in and researching the impact of development in Senegal, this dissertation contributes to scholarship on Fouta Toro and indicates how governmental and non-governmental intervention stirs up the caste-related power structures of a society led by the Tooroɓɓe since the Islamic revolution in the 18th century. It shows how the female body is located as a site of morality, key to the reproduction of cultural identities
