El presente volumen incluye, entre otros, los trabajos jurídicos seleccionados por la Asociación de Derechos Intelectuales (ASDIN) como los más relevantes entre los que compiten en el concurso anual organizado por esta institución. La propiedad intelectual continúa adquiriendo importancia creciente en países que, como los de Latinoamérica, han comenzado a tomar conciencia de la relevancia de impulsar la investigación científico-tecnológica, las industrias culturales y la innovación productiva. Es por ello que ASDIN fomenta el estudio de la legislación, las regulaciones en la materia y apoya la observancia de los derechos y obligaciones de modo que el sistema jurídico en la región se actualice, manteniendo un adecuado equilibrio entre productores y usuarios, impulsando el desarrollo de la creatividad.
Esta obra es una herramienta útil en la tarea de apoyar y divulgar el conocimiento de los temas que hacen a una adecuada comprensión del valor de la propiedad industrial e intelectual como agente promotor del crecimiento y de sus pilares fundamentales. En este sentido conviene tener presente que Latinoamérica es una región con un potencial importante de innovación que lamentablemente no se aprovecha acabadamente. Las herramientas que proporciona la propiedad intelectual son cruciales para la promoción de los avances científicos y tecnológicos, y de las inversiones, tal como lo ilustran los artículos en español e inglés que trae este nuevo volumen.

Focusing on everyday rituals, the essays in this volume look at spheres of social action and the places throughout the Atlantic world where African–descended communities have expressed their values, ideas, beliefs, and spirituality in material terms. The contributors trace the impact of encounters with the Atlantic world on African cultural formation, how entanglement with commerce, commodification, and enslavement and with colonialism, emancipation, and self-rule manifested itself in the shaping of ritual acts such as those associated with birth, death, healing, and protection. Taken as a whole, the book offers new perspectives on what the materials of rituals can tell us about the intimate processes of cultural transformation and the dynamics of the human condition.
Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile seeks to overcome an existing void in the literature of Latin American studies addressing the impact of Chile’s post dictatorial legal framework on its historically and structurally disadvantaged groups, concentrating on the various issues and challenges that affect them.

Dear Colleagues, The brain is vulnerable to injury. Following injury in the brain, apoptosis or necrosis may occur easily, leading to various functional disabilities. Neuronal death is associated with a number of neurological disorders including hypoxic ischemia, epileptic seizures, and neurodegenerative diseases. The brain subjected to injury is regarded to be responsible for the alterations in neurotransmission processes, resulting in functional changes. Oxidative stress produced by reactive oxygen species has been shown to be related to the death of neurons in traumatic injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, scavenging or decreasing free radicals may be crucial for pre...
In 2018, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees documented a record high 71.4 million displaced people around the world. As states struggle with the costs of providing protection to so many people and popular conceptions of refugees have become increasingly politicized and sensationalized, researchers have come together to form regional and global networks dedicated to working with displaced people to learn how to respond to their needs ethically, compassionately, and for the best interests of the global community. Mobilizing Global Knowledge brings together academics and practitioners to reflect on a global collaborative refugee research network. Together, the members of this netwo...
