El derecho humano al agua y los desafíos para su adecuada gestión en Colombia
El cambio climático, la ocurrencia de fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, la contaminación y la mala gestión de las administraciones están amenazando el desarrollo socioeconómico sostenible y la biodiversidad en todo el planeta. De ahí que el libro El derecho humano al agua y los desafíos para su adecuada gestión aporte al estudio sobre el derecho humano al agua para la dignidad humana, así como reflexione de forma crítica sobre el régimen regulatorio del suministro del agua potable y saneamiento básico en Colombia, con el objetivo de evidenciar los avances, los puntos de mejora y las dificultades que han tenido las administraciones públicas central y descentralizadas, desde la expedición de la Constitución de 1991, para garantizar el acceso a agua potable de forma universal y sustentable. Así, esta obra será una herramienta de permanente consulta para todas las personas interesadas en analizar los grandes desafíos que se tienen para la debida gestión del derecho humano al agua en Colombia en el siglo XXI.
Constitución Política de 1991
Esta obra colectiva es fruto de reflexiones y debates realizados en diciembre de 2020, en la Facultad de Jurisprudencia, entre académicos, profesores, investigadores y funcionarios públicos, con el objetivo de analizar los avances, desafíos y las promesas incumplidas que ha tenido la aplicación de la Constitución Política de 1991, tras treinta años de su expedición. El libro ha sido organizado bajo tres ejes temáticos principales: pluralismo jurídico estatal, estado social de derecho y cuarta revolución industrial. El primer eje busca llamar la atención sobre la existencia de diferentes racionalidades jurídicas dentro del propio Estado que causan diversas interpretaciones y conf...
Bioactive Sphingolipids in Cancer Biology and Therapy
This volume presents information on both the basic and clinical aspects of sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes in various cancers. The volume also includes discussions of the innovative techniques and approaches for quantitative analysis and imaging that could significantly impact the general understanding of this topic, and the potential benefit of targeting sphingolipid enzymes to develop novel cancer therapeutics. As well, the volume includes a critical examination of the specific pathways and pathobiologies associated with the altered regulation of sphingolipid metabolism as a contributor to the development and/or maintenance of pathological conditions such as cancer.
The Epidemiology and Ecology of Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne, parasitic disease with tremendous variety in presentation, biology, and epidemiology. Any book on this disease must acknowledge the nearly impossible task of providing an exhaustive account of leishmaniasis simply because the epidemiology of the disease is so very complex. This book addresses some of this variety with chapters on the epidemiology of leishmaniasis in North Africa, Central America, and South America. The purpose of the book is not to specifically address diagnosis and treatment of the disease, but rather to provide a sample of the differing epidemiologies of leishmaniasis that occur due to variations in local habitats; the presence of different vectors, reservoirs, and agents; and the wide variety of cultures in which this disease occurs.
The Construction of the Customary Law of Peace
This thought-provoking book explores the emerging construction of a customary law of peace in Latin America and the developing jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It traces the evolution of peace as both an end and a means: from a negative form, i.e. the absence of violence, to a positive form that encompasses equality, non-discrimination and social justice, including gendered perspectives on peace.
Truth, Justice and Reconciliation in Colombia
The signing of the peace agreements between the FARC-EP and the Colombian Government in late November 2016 has generated new prospects for peace in Colombia, opening the possibility of redressing the harm inflicted on Colombians by Colombians. Talking about peace and transitional justice requires us to think about how to operationalize peace agreements to promote justice and coexistence for peace. This volume brings together reflections by Colombian academics and practitioners alongside pieces provided by researchers and practitioners in other countries where transitional justice initiatives have taken place (Bosnia and Herzegovina, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Peru). This volume has been wri...
Geotechnics of Roads: Advanced Analysis and Modeling
At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However, analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses experienced by road surfaces, their intense interaction with climate, and the complicated behavior of the materials used in road construction. Modern mechanistic approaches to road design provide the tools capable of developing new technical solutions. However, use of these approaches requires deep understanding of the behavior of constituent materials and their interaction with water and heat which has recently been acquired thanks to advances in geotechnical engineering. The author comprehensively describes and ex...
