Eco-localismos y resiliencia comunitaria frente a la crisis civilizatoria

En todo el mundo existen multitud de iniciativas comunitarias regeneradoras que tratan de responder a la crisis multidimensional. Han interiorizado el hecho de que la ciudadanía es un sujeto de primer orden para el cambio social. Entre ellas, las Iniciativas en Transición (IT) constituyen un ejemplo con un grado relativamente alto de incidencia, creatividad y expansión. Tratan de fortalecer la autosuficiencia local y la resiliencia comunitaria ante fenómenos como el cénit del petróleo y el cambio climático. Estas líneas comienzan con una lectura sintética del mundo, y siguen con el análisis de las fortalezas y limitaciones delas IT. El análisis que presentamos se ha construido desde la observación de distintas IT en contextos muy distintos (localidades del País Vasco, en la ciudad estadounidense de Portland, y en la región del Bio-Bio, Chile), así como desde la participación activa de los autores en el propio movimiento de Transición.Il existe dans le monde entier une multitude d’ initiatives communautaires régénératrices qui tentent de répondre à la crise multidimensionnelle. Elles ont intégré le fait que la citoyenneté est un sujet de premier ordre pour le changement social. Dans ce cadre, Les Initiatives en Transition (IT) constituent un exemple ayant un degré d’incidence, de créativité et d’expansion relativement élevé. Elles s’efforcent de renforcer l’autosuffisance locale et la résilience communautaire face aux phénomènes comme la fin du pétrole et le changement climatique. Ce texte commence par une interprétation synthétique du monde, et se poursuit avec l’analyse des forces et limites des IT. L’analyse que nous présentons a été élaborée à partir de l’observation de diverses IT dans des contextes très différents (localités du Pays Basque, dans la ville de Portland aux Etats-Unis et dans la région du Bio-Bio au Chili), ainsi qu’à partir de la participation active des auteurs à ce mouvement de Transition.Around the world there are a multitude of regenerative community initiatives trying to respond to the multidimensional crisis. They take for granted the fact citizen’s action is essential in the process of social change. Among these, Transition Initiatives (TI) are an example that is especially important for its prevalence, creativity, and growth. TI’s try to strengthen local self-sufficiency and community resilience in the face of peak oil and climate change.This article begins with a synthesis of the global situation and continues with an analysis of the strengths and limitations of TI’s. The analysis is based on TIs in very different contexts (in País Vasco localities, in the city of Portland in the United States, and in the Bio-Bio region in Chile) as well as the authors’ own participation in the Transition movement.Em todo o mundo há uma infinidade de iniciativas comunitárias regenerativas que tentam responder à crise multidimensional. Eles aceitam o fato que a ação cidadã é essencial no processo de mudança social. Entre estes, as Iniciativas de Transição (IT) são um exemplo de que é especialmente importante para a sua prevalência, crescimento, criatividade e. Tentativa da IT para reforçar a resistência ea auto-suficiência da comunidade local em face do pico do petróleo e da mudança climatica. Este artigo começa com uma síntese da situação global e continua com uma análise dos pontos fortes e limitações da IT. Nossa análise é baseada em ITs em contextos muito diferentes (no País Basco, na cidade de Portland, nos Estados Unidos, e na região de Bio-Bio, no Chile), bem como em a participação dos próprios autores no movimento de Transição

Connective tissue activation

Connective tissue activating peptide-III (CTAP-III) isolated from human platelets is a potent mitogen for human connective tissue cells in culture in addition to stimulating glycosaminoglycan synthesis, glucose consumption, and lactate formation. The amino acid composition of apparently homogeneous CTAP-III was determined, confirming the presence of two disulfide links and providing a calculated molecular weight of 11,633 daltons. Comparison of the mitogenic activity of serum and plasma-serum suggests that CTAP-III is a major mitogenic component of human serum. Seventeen strains of human connective tissue cells (synovial, cartilage, dermal and thyroid) incorporated [ 3 H]-thymidine at up to 30 times control at levels under the influence of microgram quantities of CTAP-III and caused detectable increases in thymidine incorporation at levels as low as 10–29 ng/ml. Prostaglandin E 1 (0.01 Μg/ml) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (25 Μg/ml) potentiated the glycosaminoglycan stimulating effect of CTAP-III, but not its mitogenic effect. Cycloheximide and actinomycin D blocked the biologic actions of CTAP-III. Cortisol and penicillamine had little effect on the mitogenic activity of CTAP-III, whereas antirheumatic agents such as acetylsalicylic acid and phenylbutazone opposed the mitogenic activity when added to cultures at clinically relevant concentrations. A weak antiheparin factor secreted by platelets, low affinity platelet factor 4 (LA-PF 4 ), was shown to be similar to CTAP-III in biologic actions, electrophoretic mobility, amino acid composition, and antigenic determinants.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/37739/1/1780220308_ftp.pd

Una carta a Ignacio con respeto a la tarea de la desideologización

En forma de una carta ficticia a Ignacio Martín-Baró, el fundador de la psicología de la liberación, el autor revisa la situación política global y propone que el concepto de la desideologización se refiere a una tarea no sólo para las masas, sino también para los activistas en sus grupos. Muchos obstáculos a los movimientos sociales surgen porque los activistas no han podido cuestionar los supuestos de sus ideas sobre metas y estrategias

Ráfaga : the life story of a Nicaraguan Miskito Comandante

Rafaga is the nom de guerre of Reynaldo Reyes Davis, a Nicaraguan Miskito Indian. This work chronicles his life and his role in the war for the rights of Miskitos in Nicaragua. He recounts his childhood and the struggle for basic education that led him, still a teen, to a Church of God seminary. He served briefly as a minister in a Miskito community. By the time he was in his early twenties, however, Rafaga had become part of the Sandinista revolution. Then, angered by the Sandinista atrocities against the Miskitos and other Nicaraguan indigenous groups, he joined the Contras as a field commander. Eventually disillusioned by the Contra leadership, he began to work for peace and Miskito autonomy. His book presents a very personal and certainly controversial view of the complexities of Nicaragua\u27s recent history.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/petry-books/1141/thumbnail.jp
