Gabriela Bustelo's planet woman: decifering posthuman identity
Some critics have argued that Posthumanism both precedes but also follows Humanism. Many of those crities also agree that Posthumanism must be conceived as a paradigm driven and sustained by exponential technological and scientific developments and their impact in reconfiguring normative conceptions concerning our understanding of what it means to be human. Gabriela Bustelo's Female Planet (Planeta hembra) offers a valid approach to exploring notions of such a posthuman condition in which the merging of biology and machine redesigns notions of human identity, drives human desire and reshapes attitudes regarding issues of power, sex and gender struggles.Algunos crĂticos han afirmado que el poshumanismo tanto precede como sigue al humanismo. Muchos de ellos concuerdan en que el poshumanismo ha de concebirse como un paradigma informado por avances tecnocientĂficos que sirven para reconfigurar nuestra forma de definir lo humano. Planeta hembra, de Gabriela Bustelo, nos ofrece un buen ejemplo de la confluencia poshumana de biologĂa y máquina en cuanto a las dimensiones de poder, sexo, y gĂ©nero se refiere
Reclutamiento de menores de edad en la Ley de AmnistĂa del proceso de paz en Colombia
Trabajo de InvestigaciĂłnEl conflicto armado que ha atravesado Colombia por más de 50 años, ha evidenciado la difĂcil situaciĂłn de la infancia en Colombia frente al reclutamiento forzado del que son vĂctimas por grupos armados al margen de la ley. La coacciĂłn a la que se ven sometidos determina la entrada de estos menores a grupos armados, donde deben ejercer diferentes funciones. En el marco del Acuerdo de Paz, se pactĂł la amnistĂa para una serie de delitos cometidos por los guerrilleros de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (en adelante FARC), buscando establecer condiciones especiales de juzgamiento. Resulta relevante determinar cĂłmo se juzgará el delito de reclutamiento forzado de menores en el marco de la implementaciĂłn del proceso de paz que atraviesa Colombia.IntroducciĂłn

Halving poverty in Mexico
We estimate the required time and the minimum necessary growth rate to halve poverty incidence and poverty intensity in Mexico’s rural and urban areas for a series of counterfactual distribution and growth scenarios. Results show that, given the current income distribution, per capita incomes in the rural area would have to grow faster –in some cases eight times faster– than they have done historically to shrink poverty by half by 2015. In contrast, income in the urban sector would have to grow around 1 per cent per year to reach the same goal, which seems a more reasonable outcome given its behavior in past years.economic growth, millennium development goals, poverty goals, poverty measurement, Mexico.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of the TM6 MADS-box gene in the octoploid strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa)
El contenido del poster presentado está desarrollado en: doi:10.1093/jxb/ery400 y
Publicado por Oxford University pressThe B-class of MADS-box transcription factors has been studied in many plant species, but
remain functionally uncharacterized in the Rosaceae family. APETALA3 (AP3), a member of this
class, controls the identity of petals and stamens in Arabidopsis thaliana. In this work, we identified
two members of the AP3 lineage in the cultivated strawberry (Fragaria Ă— ananassa): FaAP3
and FaTM6. Interestingly, FaTM6, and not FaAP3, shows an expression pattern equivalent to that
of AP3 in Arabidopsis. Genome editing using Cluster Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system is becoming a robust tool for targeted and stable mutagenesis
of DNA. However, whether it can be efficiently used in an octoploid species such as F. Ă— ananassa
is not known. In our study, we report the application of the CRISPR/Cas9 in F. Ă— ananassa to
characterize the function of FaTM6 in flower development. An exhaustive analysis by high-throughput
sequencing of the FaTM6 locus spanning the target sites showed a high efficiency genome
editing already in the T0 generation. The phenotypic characterization of the mutant lines
indicates that FaTM6 plays a key role in petal and especially in anther development in strawberry.
Our results validate the CRISPR/Cas9 strategy for gene functional analysis in an octoploid
species such as F. Ă— ananassa, and offer new opportunities for engineering strawberry to improve
traits of interest in breeding programs.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech
