Medellín, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
Medellín es la segunda ciudad de Colombia con 2 400 000 habitantes en el año 2012, después de Bogotá que se acerca a los 8 millones. Es relativamente moderna, porque apenas desde fines del siglo XIX empieza a desarrollarse hasta alcanzar la dimensión que tiene en la actualidad; sin embargo, esta evolución no ha sido lineal: han existido momentos complejos y de auge. Una ciudad que a fines de los ochenta y principios de los noventa fue considerada la más violenta del mundo, a la que todos la esquivaban para no pasar por ahí. Fue cuna del cartel de Medellín …
An Assessment Of The Effects Of Desertification In Yobe State, Nigeria, Jibril Musa Phd
An Assessment Of The Effects Of Desertification In Yobe State, Nigeria, Jibril Musa Phd
Confluence Journal Environmental Studies (CJES), Kogi State University, Nigeria
Desertification is one of the most serious environmental and socio-economic problems of our time. Desertification describes circumstances of land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions resulting from the climatic variation and human activities. The fundamental goal of this thesis was to assess the effects of desertification in Yobe State, Nigeria. The present threat of desertification in the sahel has reached an alarming stage where crops cultivation and animal rearing/grazing are no more productive, soil has lost its nutrient/fertility, various infrastructure had given way because of windstorm from the neighbouring Niger Republic and sand dunes had taken over. The …

Fernando Carrión Mena
Los años 90 son probablemente el inicio de una época de cambios trascendentales en la historia del fútbol mundial. Allí están la metamorfosis de la tecnología, la indumentaria deportiva, la globalización de las audiencias, la integración de los mercados deportivos; así como también la transformación de la regla que impide al arquero tomar con la mano la pelota entregada con el pie por parte de un compañero; la mutación de los torneos internacionales de clubes con dos campeonatos por año (Libertadores y Sudamericana en América) y con los mundiales de clubes (Confederaciones); y la innovación del mercado de futbolistas que …

Transnational Models Of Citizen Participation: The Case Of Participatory Budgeting, Yves Sintomer, Carsten Herzberg, Anja Roecke
Transnational Models Of Citizen Participation: The Case Of Participatory Budgeting, Yves Sintomer, Carsten Herzberg, Anja Roecke
yves sintomer
This article pursues two main objectives. First, it provides a transnational overview and analysis of participatory budgeting, which has been central to the literature on democratic innovations in citizen participation. Second, it combines this broad empirical project with a theoretical approach based on the construction of ideal-types in the Weberian tradition. Namely, it presents six models of citizen participation: participatory democracy, proximity democracy, participative modernization, multi-stakeholder participation, community development and neo-corporatism. Although these models have evolved from participatory budgeting and the European context, it is our contention that they can help us to understand the socio-political and ideological dynamics, contexts …

Fernando Carrión Mena
El día 11 de diciembre pasado se produjo el Primer Gabinete Binacional entre Ecuador y Colombia, que es una continuación de los gabinetes realizados entre Ecuador/Venezuela y Ecuador/Perú. Sin duda se trata de una nueva forma de ejercer la diplomacia bilateral, mediante tres elementos innovadores: primero, porque se las sube al nivel más alto de las relaciones (presidentes), segundo, porque tiende a generar un enfoque integral (no solo militar o aduanero) y tercero, establece el mecanismo de cooperación entre los dos países para enfrentar la temática (no a la unilateralidad).
En la reunión del 11 de diciembre con Colombia y …

An Estate Dilemma - Inaccessible Assets Hiding Behind Passwords And Encryption, Douglas J. Henderson
DOUGLAS J HENDERSON
Every person living in the modern world holds valuable assets, data, or information in digital mediums. Digital mediums include not only digital hardware storage mediums in personal possession (like external hard drives and internal hard drives within laptop and desktop computers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, and the like), but also those only accessible through a network. Because so much is held in digital mediums, when an individual dies or becomes incapacitated, another person must know how to access the incapacitated person’s digital assets and other important information (this person is known herein as the ‘Responsible Party’). There are potential …

El Cartel De Sinaloa Manda En Colombia, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
El poderoso holding global del crimen –el cártel de Sinaloa- maneja el multimillonario negocio de la cocaína desde el vecino país del norte y las políticas diseñadas para contrarrestarlo dominan la agenda pública del gobierno colombiano. Para nadie es desconocido que el denominado Plan Colombia ha significado una inversión norteamericana no menor a 10 mil millones de dólares en este siglo, la cual ha producido, entre otros, los siguientes efectos: la articulación de las zonas de producción de cocaína (Colombia es el primer productor del mundo), heroína y marihuana con los cárteles mexicanos que controlan los caminos principales del narcotráfico. …
Los Toros Y Las Fiestas De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Los Toros Y Las Fiestas De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
Las corridas de Toros estuvieron vinculadas desde siempre a las fiestas de la fundación española de la ciudad de Quito; es más, son prácticamente las que le dieron la carta de nacimiento.
Esta alianza de las corridas de toros con la fundación española se produce hace aproximadamente sesenta años, cuando los visionarios empresarios españoles vinculados a la tauromaquia deciden exportar las corridas hacia América Latina en las fechas de octubre a diciembre, debido a que en la época invernal española no se las podía realizar, generando pérdidas de grandes oportunidades empresariales. Mientras en España las corridas se cierran en el …

Jaime F. Erazo Espinosa
Afuera de este mundo, en otro mundo, donde el orden ideal es bondad, verdad y beldad, existen ciudades que son todas iguales: o tan reservadas que parecen arbitrarias o tan pensadas que aparecen “sin mezclas”. Adentro de este mundo, nuestro mundo, hay un orden conflictivo e infernal que, en nuestras ciudades, parece malo, aparece falso y preside lo feo. En las ciudades de afuera, sus habitantes, o son entendidos o simples pedantes. La gente de adentro es popular y sólo se afecta cuando le pasa, entre sus carencias, el mercado como una flecha, que vulgariza su voluntad. Aislando cada orden …

This study examined the unique and combined associations of homelessness and school mobility with educational well-being indicators, as well as the mediating effect of absenteeism, for an entire cohort of third-grade students in Philadelphia. Using integrated archival administrative data from the public school district and the municipal Office of Supportive Housing, multilevel linear models were estimated to test these associations while adjusting for nesting of students within schools. Findings demonstrated that homelessness had a unique association with problems in classroom engagement, school mobility was uniquely related to both academic achievement and problems in classroom engagement, and experiencing both homelessness and …

Dennis P. Culhane
Understanding the root causes of homelessness is important for developing effective solutions to the problem. This fact has not gone unnoticed by researchers, who have made numerous attempts to identify the underlying structural determinants of homelessness by modeling inter-community variation in the rate of homelessness as a function of community-level variables. Yet, prior studies in this area have a number of serious limitations, principally their reliance on methodologically flawed estimates of the size of the homeless population. The present study addresses this and other limitations by using newly available and more reliable estimates from the U.S. Department of Housing and …

¿George Michael Murillo León, de 20 años, es una nueva víctima de la violencia del fútbol en el Ecuador? Murillo fue un hincha acérrimo del Barcelona de Guayaquil, tanto que era parte de la agrupación denominada “Sentimiento”, que tiene su base territorial en Durán. Ese día fatídico salió -como lo hacía en cada partido de su equipo- con destino al Estadio Monumental, para mirar el clásico local entre Barcelona y Emelec; desgraciadamente cuando se encontraban caminando por el “Puente de la Unidad Nacional” se produjo una balacera que terminó con su vida. Frente al hecho doloroso de este homicidio han …

¿La Violencia Se Toma El Fútbol?, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
Estamos viviendo un final del campeonato nacional de fútbol sumamente violento. Si hasta el año 2006 la violencia se limitaba a riñas relativamente controladas, desde este año hay una transformación: existe un promedio de un fallecido por año. Pero seis años después -esto es, en este 2012- se han producido hasta ahora dos fallecidos y el aparecimiento de inéditas formas de violencia. Uno de los asesinatos se produce en el “Puente de la Unidad Nacional” cuando un grupo de hinchas del Barcelona iba de Durán hacia el Monumental. Esto es nuevo: el Barcelona es un equipo que no representa solo …

Beyond The Plaza: Barcelona’S Okupa Squatters At Work In The Wake Of La Crisis, Justin Helepololei
Justin AK Helepololei
As ongoing, financial crisis has kept millions in precarity - and over 40% of Spain's youth unemployed - mass mobilizations of the country's indignados have continued to fill the country's streets and plazas. Nearly one year after the original 15M demonstrations, city-wide occupations have triggered a profusion of more localized and issue-based assemblies. Beyond the plazas, squatter-activists of Barcelona's decades-old “okupa movement” have helped to facilitate the continuation of these dialogues by offering space within dozens of pre-existing squats and even opening new sites to host such interactions. Leveraging decades of experience and skill in re-appropriating spaces, squatters create room …

Lo Político De Las Políticas De Seguridad, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
Es importante debatir un tema crucial en la hora actual: las relaciones entre violencia y política y viceversa, porque hoy la violencia asume formas políticas en tanto es organizada y es más poderosa económicamente; así como se infiltra en el Estado mediante el llamado plomo (intimidación) y plata (corrupción) lo hace con el mercado a través del lavado de recursos económicos. En otras palabras, asalta la economía y penetra la política utilizando variados mecanismos.
La violencia tiene una carga política debido a que el crimen actual es fundamentalmente organizado y, en algunos casos, constituido mediante redes mundiales que se articulan …

Fútbol Y Violencia: Las Razones De Una Sinrazón, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
El conflicto es consustancial al fútbol, porque encarna una disputa entre dos bandos que buscan la victoria por todos los medios a su alcance. Pero esta disputa no siempre es pacífica, tanto que el juego está impregnado por la incorporación de los principios, categorías y lenguajes de la guerra1. Allí la estrategia y la táctica aparecen como organizadores pacíficos del conflicto. El disparo de misiles, la existencia de bombazos, el cobro de tiros libres y la falta máxima de un penal. Un jugador potente es el tanque Hurtado, si tiene un tiro fuerte será el Cañoncito Peñaherrera o si el …

La inseguridad se ha convertido en uno de los temas más relevantes en las ciudades latinoamericanas, en parte debido al incremento de su magnitud, a las nuevas formas que asume y a los impactos sociales, económicos y ambientales que produce. Sin embargo, en las zonas de frontera, las cuales generalmente se encuentran alejadas de los centros urbanos principales, la situación tiene características aún más particulares y complejas. Ante esto, se hace necesario posicionar dicha problemática en el debate público, con la ␣nalidad de conocer la realidad cotidiana de las poblaciones fronterizas, de␣nir políticas públicas certeras y, además, reducir la distancia …

Between 2007 and 2011, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released an annual report on the extent of homelessness in the United States—the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR). The report documents how many people are using shelter programs for homeless people, and how many people are in unsheltered locations that are often called “the streets.” The AHAR is delivered each year to the U.S. Congress, and its contents are used to inform Federal, State, and local policies to prevent and end homelessness. This 2011 AHAR presents the most recent national estimates of homelessness, focusing on people …

En estos últimos 20 años el patrón de urbanización en América Latina cambia, lo cual tiene que ver con: a) el significativo crecimiento del número de ciudades (más de 16. 500 en la región), b) el aumento de la población en las urbes (más del 80% urbana), c) el re-direccionamiento territorial demográfico hacia nuevos lugares, d) el cierre del ciclo de la migración rural urbana y la apertura de la internacional, y e) la generación de la urbanización por el territorio continental. En este contexto, las ciudades de frontera son claves.
Las regiones fronterizas tienen un nuevo rol dentro de …

Variations In Climatic Parameters And Food Crop Yields: Implications On Food Security In Benue State, Nigeria., Emmanuel Adamgbe, Fanan Ujoh
Confluence Journal Environmental Studies (CJES), Kogi State University, Nigeria
Agricultural production in Nigeria like in other developing countries is highly vulnerable to variations in climatic parameters which may have inverse or direct effect on the performance of food crops. This paper examines the patterns and trends of the variations in the climatic parameters and the implications of such variations on efficient yield rates of some food crops in Benue State using data on climatic variables (rainfall, temperature, sunshine) and the yield of some crops per hectare for 25 years (1986-2010). Data on the climatic variables were collected from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, AirForce Base, Makurdi while the data on …
