Leopoldo Lugones And Jorge Luis Borges On Science: The Garden Of Forking Opinions, John G. Zehnder

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

This paper attempts to show how the fantastic authors Leopoldo Lugones and Jorge Luis Borges expressed different viewpoints about science and technology through their short stories. These Argentine authors are among Latin America’s most famous authors in the genre of the fantastic. However, these two literary luminaries diverged greatly with regard to their opinion about the role of science in society. While Lugones considered scientific progress to a grave threat to the moral fabric and well-being of society, Borges believed that scientific theories underpin and intersect with a variety of different experiences and thus can serve as tools to explore …

Gas And Development: Rural Territorial Dynamics In Tarija, Bolivia, Leonith Hinojosa, Anthony Bebbington, Guido Cortez, Juan Pablo Chumacero, Denise Humphreys Bebbington, Karl Hennermann

Sustainability and Social Justice

Framed by concepts of territorial project, social coalitions, and scalar relationships, we analyze rural territorial dynamics under conditions of rapid expansion in natural gas extraction.

Depressive Symptoms Affect Working Memory In Healthy Older Adult Hispanics, Mauricio Garnier-Villarreal, Monica Salazar-Villanea, Edward Liebmann, Esteban Montenegro-Montenegro, David K. Johnson

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications

Objectives: Low and middle income nations will experience an unprecedented growth of the elderly population and subsequent increase in age-related neurological disorders. Worldwide prevalence and incidence of all-types of neurological disorders with serious mental health complications will increase with life expectancy across the globe.

Latin America’s population of older adult’s 65 years and older is growing rapidly, yet little is known about cognitive aging among healthy older Latinos. Clinically significant depressive symptomatology is common among community-dwelling older adults and …

Effects Of The Political Climate On Ifrs Adoption In Latin America, Mailyn Fernandez

Open Access Theses

The paper explores the variability of IFRS adoption in Latin America, attempts to identify regional implementation challenges, and provides suggestions for future research. It is unique in focusing on the IFRS experience of developing countries, specifically Latin America, and employs a multi-method approach to analyze the quality of IFRS adoption policies vis-à-vis the potential effects on the comparability of financial information. Moreover, case studies are used to study IFRS adoption and implementation in countries with varying macroeconomic and political climates. The paper suggests IFRS adoption policy quality may be affected by the national political climate, the depth of global economic …
