"Diagnóstico sobre las barreras de acceso para la obtención de una vivienda digna desde la política pública de Chile para población migrante".

El derecho a la vivienda ha sido un punto central en el desarrollo de políticas y derechos sociales más recientes como garantía de cohesión social. El presente trabajo de investigación pretende acercar la realidad de los asentamientos urbanos irregulares de Chile, así como la respuesta gubernamental para garantizar una vivienda social adecuada. Igualmente, se pone el foco en los agentes involucrados que acompañan, asesoran e informan a personas migrantes -que viven en dichos asentamientos precarios-, durante el proceso de obtención de vivienda y regularización de la situación migratoria. Existiendo dualidad entre los agentes que intervienen en el ámbito habitacional, perteneciendo al Sector Público y Tercer Sector. Finalmente, el objetivo principal de este proyecto de investigación es identificar y determinar los impedimentos que tiene que hacer frente la población migrante en el proceso de postulación a la oferta pública de vivienda.<br /

The Bi-Loop, a new general four-stranded DNA motif

The crystal structure of the cyclic octanucleotide d contains two independent molecules that form a novel quadruplex by means of intermolecular Watson-Crick A.T pairs and base stacking. A virtually identical quadruplex composed of G.C pairs was found by earlier x-ray analysis of the linear heptamer d(GCATGCT), when the DNA was looped in the crystal. The close correspondence between these two structures of markedly dissimilar oligonucleotides suggests that they are both examples of a previously unrecognized motif. Their nucleotide sequences have little in common except for two separated 5'-purine-pyrimidine dinucleotides forming the quadruplex, and by implication these so-called 'bi-loops' could occur widely in natural DNA. Such structures provide a mechanism for noncovalent linking of polynucleotides in vivo. Their capacity to associate by base stacking, demonstrated in the crystal structure of d(GCATGCT), creates a compact molecular framework made up of four DNA chains within which strand exchange could take place

The Longitudinal Role of Working Memory on Adult Acquisition of L2 Grammar

Subject&ndash;Verb Number Agreement in Bilingual Processing: (Lack of) Age of Acquisition and Proficiency Effects

Children acquire language more easily than adults, though it is controversial whether this faculty declines as a result of a critical period or something else. To address this question, we investigate the role of age of acquisition and proficiency on morphosyntactic processing in adult monolinguals and bilinguals. Spanish monolinguals and intermediate and advanced early and late bilinguals of Spanish read sentences with adjacent subject&ndash;verb number agreements and violations and chose one of four pictures. Eye-tracking data revealed that all groups were sensitive to the violations and attended more to more salient plural and preterit verbs than less obvious singular and present verbs, regardless of AoA and proficiency level. We conclude that the processing of adjacent SV agreement depends on perceptual salience and language use, rather than AoA or proficiency. These findings support usage-based theories of language acquisition
