El artículo indaga en la publicación Kokena, revista creada por una organización indígena a fines de la década de 1970. El trabajo se interroga sobre el vínculo entre una publicación de indios e indias, y un territorio que se definía (y define) sin población indígena. Para reflexionar en torno a esa relación, se reconstruye el contexto político-social en que surge la revista y se rastrean los antecedentes etnopolíticos urbanos. Además, se precisan las características y acciones del Centro Kolla (...) (Cenko), encargado de publicar la Kokena, y del indianismo, marco ideológico que reivindicó la organización. Se analizan dos ejemplares de la revista, en los que se busca precisar similitudes y diferencias. Las publicaciones permiten comprender particularidades de la organización y reflexionar sobre la etnicidad de un conjunto de individuos en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA). La Kokena fue parte de un conjunto de estrategias que le permitieron a un grupo de personas configurar sus identificaciones y habitar una ciudad que los negaba e invisibilizaba. De esta forma, en y desde la ciudad, kollas, indígenas y porteños/as construyeron una revista india. (shrink)

Mahatma Gandhi inculcated and lived a value-based life in spite of the human limitations to live a perfect moral life. The seven social sins that he has listed are as follows: Politics without principle, Wealth without wor, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, and Worship without sacrifice. The second and the fifth, get special attention in the context of the present issue on Business Ethics. It is a recognised aspect of social ethics that business (...) with all its intricate dynamics ought to be conducted in an ethical manner. Absence of morality will take away humane and just character altogether. Wealth in itself is not bad, but acquiring wealth for its own sake, that too by unjust means, would go against the spirit ofmorality. This is because; the means and ends are inherently related to each other. Hence, the role of business in enhancing human life will be fulfilled if various means adopted by are basically humane and therefore, moral. In this paper I would like to deal with: Globalisation of Business, The Business of Education, The Business of Health Care, and A Theological Reflection of Business Ethics. (shrink)

Neuroimaging is critical in the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancers; however, the first detection of tumors is a challenge. Detection techniques like image segmentation are heavily reliant on the segmented image’s resolution. Magnetic resonance imaging tumor segmentation has emerged as a new study area in the medical imaging field. This spongy and delicate mass of tissue is the brain. Stable conditions allow for patterns to enter and interact with each other. To put it simply, a tumor is a mass (...) of tissue that has grown unchecked by the natural mechanisms that keep it under control. When cells divide uncontrollably, they create a cancerous tumor. Brain tumors can be detected and segmented using a variety of methods. A new method for detecting brain tumors using MRI images is presented in this research. An innovative Woelfel filter is used for enhancement, and morphological segmentation approaches combined with anisotropic diffusion are used for segmentation. Segmentation of brain tumors can be accomplished using thresholding and morphological techniques, which are both effective. The tumor will be located and identified using morphological image processing. Image denoising refers to the process of removing artefacts such as noise and aliasing from digital images. Here MATLAB programming language is utilised as it incorporates all the toolboxes required for the application involved in the work. (shrink)

Personality disorder symptomatology (PD-Sx) can result in personal distress and impaired interpersonal functioning, even in the absence of a clinical diagnosis, and is frequently comorbid with psychiatric disorders such as substance use, mood, and anxiety disorders; however, they often remain untreated, and are not taken into account in clinical studies. To investigate brain morphological correlates of PD-Sx, we measured subcortical volume and shape, and cortical thickness/surface area, based on structural magnetic resonance images. We investigated 37 subjects who reported PD-Sx exceeding (...) DSM-IV Axis-II screening thresholds, and 35 age, sex, and smoking status-matched control subjects. Subjects reporting PD-Sx were then grouped into symptom-based clusters: N = 20 into Cluster B (reporting Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, or Narcissistic PD-Sx) and N = 28 into Cluster C (reporting Obsessive–Compulsive, Avoidant, or Dependent PD-Sx); N = 11 subjects reported PD-Sx from both clusters, and none reported Cluster A (Paranoid, Schizoid, or Schizotypal) PD-Sx. Compared to control, Cluster C PD-Sx was associated with greater striatal surface area localized to the caudate tail, smaller ventral striatum volumes, and greater cortical thickness in right prefrontal cortex. Both Cluster B and C PD-Sx groups also showed trends toward greater posterior caudate volumes and orbitofrontal surface area anomalies, but these findings did not survive correction for multiple comparisons. The results point to morphological abnormalities that could contribute to Cluster C PD-Sx. In addition, the observations parallel those in substance use disorders, pointing to the importance of considering PD-Sx when interpreting findings in often-comorbid psychiatric disorders. (shrink)

La Ley Fundacional del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) organizó el Consejo en diversos Patronatos. Entre ellos, el “José María Quadrado” se encargó de la coordinación de los Estudios Locales. Este Patronato desapareció en la reorganización del CSIC de 1979 y en 1980 se creó la CECEL, que asumiría sus funciones. Se narra la historia de la Confederación, su personalidad jurídica, sus órganos de dirección, sus objetivos y se relacionan los centros que la componen.

Resumen: El presente trabajo intenta analizar los elementos críticos a la base de aquella suerte de prescripción que Edward Said formulara a los intelectuales bajo la célebre consigna de “decir las verdades al poder”, esto es, de interpelar públicamente al poder -político, económico, religioso, militar- frente a toda evidencia de injusticia, inconsistencia o turbia manipulación en su operar. En tanto tal, y a partir de nuestra lectura de Said, delimitamos cinco dilemas que el intelectual ha de resolver, en tanto requisitos (...) para decir las verdades al poder: orientación intramundana versus extramundana, rol profético versus sacerdotal, libertad universalista versus organicidad, racionalidad sustantiva versus instrumental y arrojo versus temor. Se comentan las implicaciones de estos dilemas a la luz de los desafíos y oportunidades que las sociedades contemporáneas -en particular, las latinoamericanas- presentan para el rol del intelectual.: This work analyzes the critical foundations of that quasi-rule posed by Edward Said to intellectuals through the famous motto “speaking truth to power”, that is, of publicly interpellating to power -political, economic, religious, military- whenever its exercise may involve injustice, inconsistency or underhanded manipulation. So, according to our interpretation of Said’s work, we identify five dilemmas the intellectual should resolve in order to be able to speak truth to power: a worldliness orientation versus an otherworldliness one, a prophetic role versus a priestly one, universalist freedom versus organic compromise, a substantive rationality versus an instrumental one, and courage versus fear. Involvements of these dilemmas are discussed according to the challenges and opportunities posed by current societies -in particular, the Latin American ones- to the intellectual’s role. (shrink)

Tanto en las políticas de memoria en Argentina como en la vasta producción académica en torno a las experiencias traumáticas de violencia estatal durante la última dictadura genocida, las memorias indígenas han sido tematizadas en forma marginal o subsidiaria respecto a otras categorías identitarias (Lenton, 2014). Estos silencios comienzan a romperse partir de la propia agencia indígena en los procesos de recuperación de las raíces ancestrales al calor de las luchas territoriales de las últimas décadas (Delrio, Lenton, Musanti, Nagy, Papazian (...) y Pérez, 2010), y por un creciente campo de estudios en el que abreva la tesis de Sabrina Rosas “Warmikunamanta Atipaq Sonqokuna: Mujeres de corazones valientes”. Memoria, identidad y territorio indígena kolla en la ciudad de La Plata. (shrink)
