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.
This volume explores the various methods used to study tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in pathological situations. Pre-clinical models are also discussed in detail to show how TLS structure, development, and maintenance can be targeted and studied in vivo. The chapters in this book cover topics such as humans and mice; strategies to quantify TLS in order to use it in stained tissue sections; classifying a gene signature form fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues; and development of murine inflammatory models to help look at TLS in the context of infection or malignancy. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and thorough, Tertiary Lymphoid Structures: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource that increases the reader’s knowledge on immune functions and how they will pave the way to future therapeutic applications.
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. Within its eleven chapters it explores the changing social and legal status of LGBTI people, the political disenfranchisement and the social exclusion that affects imprisoned individuals, the harshness of policing on poor and marginalized communities, the deprivation of indigenous peoples of meaningful rights, the vulnerability that affects workers as a consequence of the exis...
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...
From celebrated art historian, curator, and teacher Sarah Lewis, a fascinating examination of how our most iconic creative endeavors—from innovation to the arts—are not achievements but conversions, corrections after failed attempts. The gift of failure is a riddle: it will always be both the void and the start of infinite possibility. The Rise—part investigation into a psychological mystery, part an argument about creativity and art, and part a soulful celebration of the determination and courage of the human spirit—makes the case that many of the world’s greatest achievements have come from understanding the central importance of failure. Written over the course of four years, th...
