Políticas públicas de prevención del embarazo adolescente en los ámbitos internacional, nacional y Tamaulipas

El tema del embarazo adolescente ha sido objeto de grandes controversias en diferentes ámbitos y escenarios del mundo. A lo largo de los años mucho se ha dicho y estudiado en torno a él; sin embargo, y a pesar de ser un tema del que quizá pueda pensarse que todo está dicho, los resultados demuestran lo contrario y abren nuevas aristas dentro de las cuales es urgente ahondar si se busca un pleno desarrollo de los adolescentes de hoy, adultos del mañana. Luego entonces y bajo esta perspectiva, la pregunta no debería ser si ya todo está escrito y estudiado, sino que las interrogantes deberían ir en torno a ¿qué políticas se han desarrollado?, ¿cómo se han implementado?, ¿qué res...

Salud pública en Tamaulipas: hacia la construcción de un enfoque integral y multidisciplinario con perspectiva social

La salud pública es el punto de encuentro entre lo biológico y lo social, pues toda población atraviesa por procesos de salud que se determinan por el contexto histórico de la vida en sociedad, esto desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte. En el ámbito de la ciencia la salud pública representa un espacio para la confluencia de múltiples disciplinas que dan cuenta de los procesos biológicos y sociales de las poblaciones humanas (Frenk, 2000). Este libro se sitúa en las confluencias del conocimiento histórico, social y cultural, es decir, en ese traslape en donde se especifican no solo las necesidades de salud entre la población, sino también las respuestas sociales a estas demandas. La literatura indica que la visión clásica de la salud pública –como disciplina científica– ha sido la encargada de estudiar el proceso de salud-enfermedad en un nivel de análisis poblacional a partir de perseguir dos objetivos: i) el estudio de las condiciones de salud abordado por el enfoque epidemiológico y ii) la respuesta social a estas condiciones abordado por el estudio de los sistemas de salud.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Mosquito Bite Author

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

The Italian

An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction

"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Bride of Amman

The Bride of Amman, a huge and controversial bestseller when first published in Arabic, takes a sharp-eyed look at the intersecting lives of four women and one gay man in Jordan's historic capital, Amman-a city deeply imbued with its nation's traditions and taboos. When Rana finds herself not only falling for a man of the wrong faith, but also getting into trouble with him, where can they go to escape? Can Hayat's secret liaisons really suppress the memories of her abusive father? When Ali is pressured by society's homophobia into a fake heterosexual marriage, how long can he maintain the illusion? And when spinsterhood and divorce spell social catastrophe, is living a lie truly the best option for Leila? What must she do to avoid reaching her 'expiry date' at the age thirty like her sister Salma, Jordan's secret blogger and a self-confessed spinster with a plot up her sleeve to defy her city's prejudices? These five young lives come together and come apart in ways that are distinctly modern yet as unique and timeless as Amman itself.
