Nuestras dos bibliotecas nacionales y el intercambio de publicaciones

Besides of the present National Library of Argentina, inicially named as Public Library of Buenos Aires, the author sets the existence of another National Library created by a presidential decree on february 11 st 1870, from this he studies the contradictions, lows and highs of the official publication exchange, betwen local and forgein institution

¿Cuál es la situación actual del crimen organizado en Argentina?

El crimen organizado transnacional se ha erigido como la principal amenaza a la seguridad internacional, y regional. El fin de la guerra fría, y la expansión del capitalismo conllevaron a la globalización del fenómeno de la criminalidad organizada, brindando nuevos mercados al tráfico ilícito, logrando constituir estructuras de poder paralelas que ponen en jaque las instituciones de los Estados.Área: Ciencias Sociales y Humana

Collaborative Family Law, the New Lawyer, and Deep Resolution of Divorce-Related Conflicts

Unlike many of the contributions to this Symposium issue, mine is a speculative, idiosyncratic opinion piece. I want to explore what we know, what we think we know, what we do not know, and what we need to know about Collaborative Law and interdisciplinary team Collaborative Divorce Practice as they presently exist in the field of family law, in two respects: what these processes offer to clients (the deep resolution part of my title) and what effect the practice of these processes has on lawyers (the new lawyer part of my title). Instead of citing to authority, this essay draws mainly upon perceptions and concerns arising from fifteen years of practicing Collaborative Law, as well as a decade of training lawyers and mental health and financial professionals in Collaborative Law and interdisciplinary team Collaborative Divorce Practice. I will also draw upon my decade of building, leading, and supporting the international umbrella organization for the Collaborative movement, the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP). I believe it is worth giving serious consideration to these ideas while we await empirical research that reliably tests their validity. I ask readers, in other words, to play what has been called the believing game

Collaborative Family Law

Collaborative Law appears to meet significant needs both among family law clients and among the lawyers who assist them through divorce. As will be discussed more fully below, clients appear to want the advantages of a contained, settlement-oriented, creative, private, respectful process without sacrificing the benefits of having a committed legal advocate at their sides. For that reason Collaborative Law appeals to clients who may hesitate to commit to a dispute resolution process facilitated solely by a neutral mediator. And, while many family lawyers suffer considerable professional angst as a consequence of their awareness that family law courts are neither safe nor effective places for clients to resolve divorce-related disputes, the decision by a family lawyer to become a mediator instead of a litigator in order to work in a more positive conflict resolution modality with clients requires an immense and difficult step: leaving the practice of law. Because collaborative legal practice, unlike mediation, allows family law attorneys to represent clients in the role of advocate, continuing to practice law and to be bound by all ethical mandates for lawyers, the switch from conventional lawyering to collaborative law is not a leap out of one profession into another, but rather a short step through an open door into a different approach to lawyering. As collaborative practitioners, lawyers who have become disillusioned with what they can offer clients in adversarial family law practice can embrace an identity as a member of a helping profession while maintaining their chosen professional identity as lawyers. Collaborative lawyers often report that the process of retooling from litigator to collaborative lawyer involves integration of personal and professional values into a coherent identity that brings a professional gratification previously absent from their work as lawyers

Shock-waves and commutation speed of memristors

Progress of silicon based technology is nearing its physical limit, as minimum feature size of components is reaching a mere 10 nm. The resistive switching behaviour of transition metal oxides and the associated memristor device is emerging as a competitive technology for next generation electronics. Significant progress has already been made in the past decade and devices are beginning to hit the market; however, it has been mainly the result of empirical trial and error. Hence, gaining theoretical insight is of essence. In the present work we report the striking result of a connection between the resistive switching and {\em shock wave} formation, a classic topic of non-linear dynamics. We argue that the profile of oxygen vacancies that migrate during the commutation forms a shock wave that propagates through a highly resistive region of the device. We validate the scenario by means of model simulations and experiments in a manganese-oxide based memristor device. The shock wave scenario brings unprecedented physical insight and enables to rationalize the process of oxygen-vacancy-driven resistive change with direct implications for a key technological aspect -- the commutation speed.Comment: Featured in Physics Synopsis: "Waves that Shock Resistance" (Mar. 15, 2016). http://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevX.6.01102
