Research priorities for maintaining biodiversity’s contributions to people in Latin America

Maintaining biodiversity is crucial for ensuring human well-being. The authors participated in a workshop held in Palenque, Mexico, in August 2018, that brought together 30 mostly early-career scientists working in different disciplines (natural, social and economic sciences) with the aim of identifying research priorities for studying the contributions of biodiversity to people and how these contributions might be impacted by environmental change. Five main groups of questions emerged: (1) Enhancing the quantity, quality, and availability of biodiversity data; (2) Integrating different knowledge systems; (3) Improved methods for integrating diverse data; (4) Fundamental questions in ecology and evolution; and (5) Multi-level governance across boundaries. We discuss the need for increased capacity building and investment in research programmes to address these challenges

Ley de OPAS : los nuevos cambios derivados de una nueva regulación del mercado de valores

Tesis (Licenciado en Ciencias Jurídicas)El presente trabajo nace con el objeto general de arrojar luces respecto de los antecedentes que motivaron la discusión, creación y posterior entrada en vigencia de la Ley 19.705, conocida, más ampliamente, como la nueva " Ley de OPA". Definiendo, desde un comienzo, que el aporte principal de nuestra labor será proporcionar al lector, no sólo una visión detallada de la nueva ley con sus respectivos alcances y efectos, sino que, además, entregar una variada exposición de juicios y opiniones provenientes de instituciones, organismos y personalidades, que han manifestado su parecer a lo largo de todo el proceso de gestación de este cuerpo legislativo (incluso durante la etapa posterior a su entrada en vigencia), en los más diversos sentidos, siendo así, para algunos, "La gran reforma" que necesitaba el mercado de capitales para su recuperación, modernización y necesidad de volverse competitivo en estos tiempos marcados por la globalización que afecta no sólo a los mercados, sino que más ampliamente a las sociedades como tales. Y para otros, en franca oposición a esta visión, la verdadera lápida que faltaba sobre un mercado moribundo que, lejos de reactivarse, terminará por sucumbir frente a estos nuevos cambios. Así, teniendo a la vista enfoques tan disímiles, hemos creído de un alto valor, para los objetivos de nuestra investigación, recoger y analizar, en la medida de lo posible, todas las opiniones expresadas, pues, tenemos el íntimo convencimiento de que proporcionarán valiosos elementos de juicio para que el lector forme su propia opinión. Para acercarnos a los objetivos propuestos, daremos forma a nuestro trabajo, mediante la construcción de tres capítulos, donde al interior de cada uno de ellos abordaremos diversos aspectos que, por el orden otorgado, desarrollarán de forma ilustrativa y sistemática, una visión completa y general del tema, siendo así eficaz para informar a un tipo de lector específico, como también, para orientar a uno que no lo sea tanto
