Interpreting will at the end of life
As a result of the methodological route traced and followed, this document systematizes nine technical guidelines that will guarantee the right to a dignified death, to legal capacity and make operational the principle of the best interpretation of persons’ will and preferences. These guidelines address the following matters: (1) the significance of making the best interpretation of the person’s will and preferences; (2) the need to assess the impossibility of giving consent of those for whom MAiD is requested; (3) the composition of the support network; (4) addressing and ruling out conflicts of interest; (5) verifying that the health system has offered palliative care and the adequacy of the therapeutic effort ; (6) the role that both the medical records and previous conversations with care practitioners can play in the process; (7) the assessment of suffering in terms of the person’s life experience; (8) constructing the life narrative and the best interpretation of the will and preferences through interviews with the support network and; (9) the necessary consensus in the interpretation of the will and preferences.
Interpretar la voluntad en el fin de la vida
Producto de la ruta metodológica trazada y recorrida, el presente documento sistematiza nueve lineamientos técnicos los cuales permitirán garantizar el derecho a la muerte digna, a la capacidad jurídica y volver operativo el principio de la mejor interpretación de la voluntad y de las preferencias de las personas en casos en que las personas no pueden manifestar su voluntad y no lo hicieron anticipadamente. Los lineamientos abordan: (1) el significado de hacer la mejor interpretación de la voluntad y las preferencias de la persona; (2) la necesidad de evaluar la imposibilidad de manifestar la voluntad por parte de la persona en nombre de quien se hace la solicitud; (3) la composición ...
Much more than euthanasia. The evolution and core of the emerging right to die with dignity in Colombia
This publication has four objectives which are pursued in three chapters. First, it synthesizes and describes the emergence of the right to die with dignity in Colombia, analyzing how it was born, how it has evolved, and how it has been consolidated in recent decades, proposing a genealogy of the process that allows us to understand and communicate it. Second, it reflects on the law as an instrument of social change: it uses the path of the emergence and evolution of the right to die with dignity as a successful case—despite its difficulties and limitations. These two objectives are developed in the first chapter. Third, the publication examines Colombia's current state of the right to die...
Subjetividades. Abordajes teóricos y metodológicos
Esta obra compuesta por ocho capítulos de diversos autores, presenta diferentes enfoques y maneras de asumir lo que se entiende por subjetividad y las opciones metodológicas para su abordaje desde nuestro contexto particular colombiano, con lo que aportamos en la construcción de la psicología social latinoamericana y con ello en el diálogo académico sur-norte. Con esta obra, editores y los autores esperan contribuir al fortalecimiento de una comunidad académica de psicólogos y psicólogas sociales que se preguntan por algunos de los fenómenos y problemáticas más apremiantes de la sociedad actual, con el ánimo de generar algunas reflexiones teórico-metodológicas para aportar en su comprensión.
Mucho más que eutanasia. Trayectoria y contenido del derecho emergente a la muerte digna en Colombia.
Esta publicación se propone cuatro objetivos que se logran en tres capítulos. En primer lugar, sintetiza y describe el proceso de surgimiento del derecho a morir dignamente en Colombia. Analiza cómo nació, cómo ha evolucionado y cómo se ha consolidado en las últimas décadas y propone así una genealogía del proceso que permite entenderlo y comunicarlo. En segundo lugar, hace una reflexión sobre el derecho como una herramienta de cambio social usando el proceso de surgimiento y evolución del derecho a morir dignamente como un caso exitoso y, por supuesto, lleno de límites y dificultades. Estos dos objetivos se desarrollan en el primer capítulo. En tercer lugar, la publicación ab...
Music, Race, and Nation
Long a favorite on dance floors in Latin America, the porro, cumbia, and vallenato styles that make up Colombia's música tropical are now enjoying international success. How did this music—which has its roots in a black, marginal region of the country—manage, from the 1940s onward, to become so popular in a nation that had prided itself on its white heritage? Peter Wade explores the history of música tropical, analyzing its rise in the context of the development of the broadcast media, rapid urbanization, and regional struggles for power. Using archival sources and oral histories, Wade shows how big band renditions of cumbia and porro in the 1940s and 1950s suggested both old traditions and new liberties, especially for women, speaking to a deeply rooted image of black music as sensuous. Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.
Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives. September 2018
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
National Interest and International Solidarity
Focusing on a range of regional cases, the book evaluates the respective weight of national interest and internationalist (solidarity) considerations. Ultimately, while classical national interest considerations remain to this day a powerful motivation for power projection, the book shows how an enlightened conception of national interest can encompass solidarity concerns, and how such a balancing of the imperatives of both national interest and solidarity is the major challenge facing decision-makers.--Publisher's description.
Energy and Behaviour
Changes to energy behaviour - the role of people and organisations in energy production, use and efficiency - are critical to supporting a societal transition towards a low carbon and more sustainable future. However, which changes need to be made, by whom, and with what technologies are still very much under discussion. This book, developed by a diverse range of experts, presents an international and multi-faceted approach to the sociotechnical challenge of engaging people in energy systems and vice versa. By providing a multidisciplinary view of this field, it encourages critical thinking about core theories, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and policy challenges. It concludes by addressing new areas where additional evidence is required for interventions and policy-making. It is designed to appeal to new entrants in the energy-efficiency and behaviour field, particularly those taking a quantitative approach to the topic. Concurrently, it recognizes ecological economist Herman Daly's insight: what really counts is often not countable.
