El peritaje médico en la práctica judicial

Desde la cátedra, la judicatura, el ejercicio profesional y el estudio del derecho penal, en todos los niveles del quehacer, el interés por los avances científicos en el campo de la criminalística y la criminología es creciente. Más allá de la natural inquietud teórica, existen una gran preocupación por que estos se apliquen en la cotidianeidad de las investigaciones judiciales como una eficaz ayuda para el descubrimiento de la verdad.From the professorship, the judiciary, professional practice and the study of criminal law, at all levels of work, interest in scientific advances in the field of criminalistics and criminology is growing. Beyond the natural theoretical concern, there is a great concern that these are applied in the daily life of judicial investigations as an effective aid for discovering the truth

Temas Socio-Jurídicos. Volumen 18 No. 39 Diciembre 2000

En la presente edición, la número 39 de la Revista Temas Socio-Jurídicos, colocamos a disposición de nuestros lectores los ensayos elaborados por los profesores y estudiantes de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga, durante el segundo semestre del presente año 2000. La crisis institucional de la nación inquieta de especial manera a la comunidad académica que se expresa en propuestas, análisis o a veces con simples manifestaciones de perplejidad, que son las que se postulan por los distintos voceros de esta, nuestra escuela jurídica, que este medio escrito las acoge, recopila y divulga para incentivar el debate. Reiteramos la convocatoria a los profesores, estudiantes y egresados a vincularse con sus escritos al desarrollo y proyección de este instrumento de comunicación entre la academia y la comunidad, que sin reticencias ni reparos censurantes deja al criterio del lector el lacerante estímulo de la crítica, en procura de generar a través de la controversia dialéctica un ámbito propicio para el desarrollo intelectual de quienes despliegan el placer de escribir.In this edition, number 39 of the Socio-Legal Issues Magazine, we place at the disposal of our readers the essays prepared by the professors and students of the Faculty of Law of the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga, during the second semester of the current year 2000 The institutional crisis of the nation is particularly worrying way to the academic community that expresses itself in proposals, analyzes or sometimes with simple expressions of perplexity, which are the ones that are postulated by the different spokesmen of this, our legal school, that this written medium welcomes, compiles and disseminates to encourage the debate. We reiterate the call to professors, students and graduates to link with their writings to the development and projection of this instrument of communication between the academy and the community, which without reluctance or censorious objections leaves to the reader's discretion the lacerating stimulus of criticism, in seeks to generate through dialectical controversy a favorable environment for the intellectual development of those who display the pleasure of writing

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
