Notas de viaje
Este libro nace del interés de las instituciones académicas latinoamericanas y europeas agrupadas en el Colectivo Iberoamericano de Bioética y Cine (CIBC) en contribuir a la búsqueda de sentido en medio del absurdo que representa la perseverancia de la vida durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Sin aspirar a conclusiones definitivas sobre un proceso histórico trascendental en los planos subjetivos y comunitarios, reúne trece escritos breves que dan cuenta de reflexiones y experiencias vitales en tiempos de pandemia, aprovechando el cine y la literatura como espejos de los significados de pestes antiguas y pestes por venir y los aprendizajes para la investigación, la salud pública y la salvaguarda de los derechos fundamentales.

Materialities of Ritual in the Black Atlantic
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.

Using DNA to Solve Cold Cases
DNA has proven to be a powerful tool in the fight against crime. DNA evidence can identify suspects, convict the guilty, and exonerate the innocent. Throughout the Nation, criminal justice professionals are discovering that advancements in DNA technology are breathing new life into old, cold, or unsolved criminal cases. Evidence that was previously unsuitable for DNA testing because a biological sample was too small or degraded may now yield a DNA profile. Development of the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) at the State and national levels enables law enforcement to aid investigations by effectively and efficiently identifying suspects and linking serial crimes to each other. The National C...
