60 años bajo el signo de la prohibición: balances críticos de la política de drogas e iniciativas de cambio

Más de 100.000 personas, entre ellas millares de menores de edad, mueren anualmente debido a sobredosis de fentanilo en los Estados Unidos. Esta sustancia, en sus diferentes presentaciones, encabeza la Lista I que la Convención Única de 1961 sabre Estupefacientes catalogo como estupefacientes "sujetos a todas las medidas de fiscalización". Aunque de otra índole, en Colombia los problemas que ha arrastrado esta lista resultan igualmente inquietantes. En ella se encuentran tanto la cocaína como las hojas de coca, y en las otras dos listas hay fármacos para los que estas medidas no son tan drásticas. Luego de seis décadas bajo el signo de la prohibición, el balance de la política de ...

Reflexionar para innovar

Lejos de ser una investigación sobre el manejo de las contingencias por parte de las instituciones de educación superior, Reflexionar para innovar es un testimonio. Es la voz de la Universidad del Rosario (Colombia) contándose a sí misma y al mundo de qué manera desde las dependencias de la Vicerrectoría, en medio de un escenario tan adverso, se fortaleció y demostró cómo es posible encarar la incertidumbre frente la interrupción del derecho a la educación, la migración a modelos de educación remota mediados por tecnologías, las afectaciones a la salud (física, mental y emocional), la crisis financiera generalizada, el riesgo de abandono de las trayectorias de formación, entre muchos otros. En suma, este libro es un reconocimiento para cada uno de aquellos quienes contribuyeron a que la Universidad estuviera preparada para continuar con su labor de educar, investigar y transformar la sociedad, cuando todo parecía estar en su contra.

The Zebrafish

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a valuable and common model for researchers working in the fields of genetics, oncology and developmental sciences. This full-color atlas will aid experimental design and interpretation in these areas by providing a fundamental understanding of zebrafish anatomy. Over 150 photomicrographs are included and can be used for direct comparison with histological slides, allowing quick and accurate identification of the anatomic structures of interest. Hematoxylin and eosin stained longitudinal and transverse sections demonstrate gross anatomic relationships and illustrate the microscopic anatomy of major organs. Unlike much of the current literature, this book is focused exclusively on the zebrafish, eliminating the need for researchers to exclude structures that are only found in other fish.

High-Risk Feminism in Colombia

High-Risk Feminism in Colombia documents the experiences of grassroots women’s organizations that united to demand gender justice during and in the aftermath of Colombia’s armed conflict. In doing so, it illustrates a little-studied phenomenon: women whose experiences with violence catalyze them to mobilize and resist as feminists, even in the face of grave danger. Despite a well-established tradition of studying women in war, we tend to focus on their roles as mothers or carers, as peacemakers, or sometimes as revolutionaries. This book explains the gendered underpinnings of why women engage in feminist mobilization, even when this takes place in a ‘domain of losses’ that exposes them to high levels of risk. It follows four women’s organizations who break with traditional gender norms and defy armed groups’ social and territorial control, exposing them to retributive punishment. It provides rich evidence to document how women are able to surmount the barriers to mobilization when they frame their actions in terms of resistance, rather than fear.
