Perspectivas de la justicia de paz y reconsideración: escenarios de investigación para el fortalecimiento de los saberes prácticos

The article identifies the prevailing directions for research on the practice of the justice of peace and reconsideration in Colombia. The purpose is to identify some scenarios whose permanent development would contribute to strengthening the practical work carried out by judges, which must include the knowl-edge and skills of specific competencies. The analytical work departs from a characterization of the legal aspects of peace justice, its recurrent problems in the practice, and the formulation of outlooks based on bibliographic research and the triangulation of information. The authors also use this reflection to highlight the democratic potential of informal justice. As the main finding, we highlight that the justice of the peace in Colombia integrates three dimensions: the regional, the one that concerns specialized legal aspects, and other related to the management of the conflicts. The three dimensions converge on an integral perspective constructed from main issues like the sense of equity justice, the solution of tensions with formal justice, or the question about adequate institutional capacity.El artículo identifica las orientaciones predominantes en el ejercicio investigativo sobre la Justicia de Paz y Reconsideración en Colombia, para a partir de ello precisar algunos escenarios cuyo desarrollo permanente contribuiría al fortalecimiento del trabajo práctico que adelantan los jueces, entendiendo que este comprende la aprehensión de saberes y la destreza en competencias específicas. El trabajo analítico parte de una caracterización de los aspectos jurídicos de la Justicia de Paz, sus problemáticas recurrentes y la reconstrucción de perspectivas a partir de la indagación bibliográfica y la triangulación de información. De igual manera, destaca el potencial democrático de la justicia informal. Como hallazgo principal se destaca que la Justicia de Paz en Colombia integra al menos tres dimensiones: la regional, la que atañe a aspectos jurídicos especializados, y la relacionada con el manejo integral de los conflictos. Las tres en conjunto confluyen en una perspectiva integral que aborda temáticas centrales tales como el sentido de la justicia en equidad, la solución de tensiones con la justicia formal, o la indagación por la capacidad institucional que permita su expansión y articulación con otras jurisdiccione

La enfermedad de Chagas: retos del tratamiento

La enfermedad de Chagas o tripanosomiasis americana es una parasitosis ocasionada por el protozoario hemoflagelado Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), el cual es transmitido al hombre y a otros mamíferos principalmente a través de insectos hematófagos de la subfamilia Triatominae. Otras formas de transmisión son la sanguínea, a través de trasplante de órganos, la vía congénita, por accidentes de laboratorio y la vía oral. En cuanto a la vía congénita se estima que, en Latinoamérica, existen unos 2 millones de mujeres en edad fértil, con capacidad para transmitir el parásito al feto. Así mismo, se ha reportado que se infectan, al menos, 15,000 neonatos cada año en Latinoamérica y 2,000, en Norteaméric

Assessment of Child, Mother, and Environmental Factors Associated with Undernutrition in Children Less than Five Years Old in a Maya Community in Yucatan, Mexico

The objective of this study was to examine child, mother, and environmental factors associated with undernutrition in children less than five years old in a Maya community in Yucatan, Mexico. This investigation was designed as a case-control study. All cases (n=42) of undernutrition were included, and a sample of 52 controls was randomly selected from the study population. The frequency of investigated exposure factors was compared between cases and controls by using logistic regression. Undernutrition was associated with child’s age (> 36 months old; OR = 3.53; 95% CI = 1.04, 18.40) and mother’s marital status (married; OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.09, 0.90). The odds of undernutrition were 2.81 times higher in children infected with Giardia spp, but this association was not significant (P = 0.18) after controlling for child’s age and mother’s marital status. In conclusion, child’s age and mother’s marital status were associated with child undernutrition in study subjects. Futures studies on undernutrition in children should examine more carefully how mother’s marital status alone or in combination with other factors (e.g. socio-economic, psychological factors) can influence child nutrition

EEG abnormalities and clinical phenotypes in pre-school children with autism spectrum disorder

Abnormalities on electroencephalography (EEG) results have been reported in a high percentage of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence of EEG abnormalities in a clinical population of pre-school children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and the differences in terms of the following phenotypic characteristics: adaptive behavior, executive functioning, severity of Autism Spectrum Disorder core symptoms, and comorbidity symptoms.The first author have been supported by Alicia Koplowitz Foundation and University of Málaga to carry on the present study.

Synergistic Effect of Lupenone and Caryophyllene Oxide against Trypanosoma cruzi

The in vitro trypanocidal activity of a 1 : 4 mixture of lupenone and caryophyllene oxide confirmed a synergistic effect of the terpenoids against epimastigotes forms of T. cruzi (IC50=10.4 μg/mL, FIC = 0.46). In addition, testing of the terpenoid mixture for its capacity to reduce the number of amastigote nests in cardiac tissue and skeletal muscle of infected mice showed a reduction of more than 80% at a dose level of 20.8 mg·kg−1·day−1

American trypanosomiasis and associated risk factors in owned dogs from the major city of Yucatan, Mexico

AbstractBackground The American trypanosomiasis is a zoonosis caused by the protozoaTrypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). The disease is widely distributed throughout the American continent, affecting a wide range of hosts, including dogs. It is present in the canine population in the State of Yucatan, Mexico. However, no significant studies in owned dogs have been performed in the metropolitan area of Merida. A transversal study was conducted in 370 owned dogs from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.Methods A cross-sectional study including 370 dogs was performed in a major city of Yucatan, Mexico, to detect IgG antibodies against T. cruzi. A commercial ELISA test kit was used and a chi-square test used to evaluate associated risk factors; odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were also estimated.Results The indirect ELISA and western blot (WB) tests were used to detect specific immunoglobulin G antibodies against T. cruzi in serum samples. A prevalence of 12.2 % was found; age and area of residence were statistically associated with seropositivity in dogs (p<0.05).Conclusions Results from the present study suggests the presence and abundance of the vector in urban conditions where a high number of seropositive cases ofT. cruzi cases were found
