Redes de valor ético, construcción de lugar y sustentabilidad en los territorios productores de palta en México y Chile
The expansion of the avocado industry has generated social, economic and environmental conflicts. Faced with these problems, the production sector has adopted legitimization strategies based on discourses of sustainability, ethical consumption and environmental certifications. This study analyzes the cultural dimension of the networks of ethical value of production in Uruapan (Mexico) and Quillota-La Cruz (Chile), exploring how territorial narrat…
An experiment in forecasting out-of-sample coup events with artificial intelligence
Out-of-sample forecasting of political violence is now common among academics and security practitioners, with varying degrees of success. While forecasting methods range from informal expert estimates to “big data” algorithmic models, large-language models (LLMs) are only now emerging as a potential tool to supplement these established methods. LLMs, however, are known to be sensitive to variations in prompt narrative style, prompt syntax, rando…
Improving evacuation policies through agent-based modeling and stakeholder engagement in hazard-prone areas
This paper introduces C-SAFE , a comprehensive framework for developing emergency evacuation simulations to enhance pre-disaster preparedness. C-SAFE combines a simulation framework encompassing five key dimensions: Infrastructure, Population Demographics, Evacuation Policy, Hazard Model, and Human Behavior Model. This allows for the systematic creation of what-if scenarios to test the effectiveness of evacuation policies under various conditions…
Global Healthy and Sustainable City Indicators
Measuring and monitoring progress towards achieving healthy, equitable and sustainable cities is a priority for planners, policymakers and researchers in diverse contexts globally. Yet data collection, analysis, visualisation and reporting on policy and spatial indicators involve specialised knowledge, skills, and collaboration across disciplines. Integrated open-source tools for calculating and communicating urban indicators for diverse urban co…
Ethical value networks, metabolic fracture and sustainability in avocado production in Mexico and Chile. The cases of Uruapan and Quillota - La Cruz
The increase in avocado consumption produces the expansion of the areas occupied by monoculture and the exacerbation of environmental impacts that show the obsolescence of the sustainable certification strategies adopted by the industry. The theoretical analysis addresses the networks of ethical value and the metabolic fracture from which the legitimation of the product is sought from the discourse of sustainable production while making invisible…
El capital toca fondo
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los discursos centrales presentes en narrativas sobre la minería en aguas profundas, para comprender qué representaciones se están constituyendo del fondo del océano y sus minerales. Con una metodología basada en el análisis cualitativo de contenido aplicado a literatura gris, incluidos medios de comunicación y redes sociales publicados en el periodo de junio de 2021 a junio de 2024, los resultados muest…
Periferias de sacrificio ambiental y acumulación de capital en Chile
A nivel global se generan espacios periféricos destinados a la extracción y procesamiento de materiales, pero también espacios centrales que concentran la riqueza. Utilizando el marco analítico de la periferia de recursos, se profundiza en cómo el excedente de capital generado en la periferia circula hacia los núcleos metropolitanos y es capturado en grandes áreas urbanas, dando cuenta de procesos económicos espaciales que, han descuidado la pers…

Measuring what matters to older persons for active living
Through the prism of governance
Between 2019 and 2021 multiple residential cores emerged in rural areas in Chile. Real estate companies and individuals acquired plots of agricultural land for housing purposes. The change prompted rapid changes in land use that were largely regulated. This article analyses the role of formal and informal rules, as well as territorial planning policies, in the spreading of residential cores in the Andean Lake axis, Villarrica – Pucón – Curarrehue…

La crisis del Covid-19 en Chile
La comunicación inicial en la crisis sanitaria en Chile se focalizó en el autocuidado individual, pero la difusión espacial de los contagios desnudó graves problemas en la configuración espacial de nuestras ciudades. Así, barrio y vivienda, tuvieron nuevos usos, que, si bien se dan en un contexto que amplifica las desigualdades socio espaciales tradicionales existentes antes de la pandemia, también muestran particularidades propias de su localiza…

Learning Echocardiography in the Workplace
PURPOSE: Although workplace learning environments provide authentic tasks to promote learning, elements of clinical settings may distract trainees and impede learning. The characteristics of workplace learning environments that require optimization are ill-defined. Applying principles of cognitive load theory (CLT) to optimize learning environments by managing intrinsic load (complexity of the task matched to learner knowledge and skill), minimiz…
Governance of Water in Southern Chile
The management and organization of water resources shapes complex territorial scenarios. This is seen in south-central Chile, where the construction of hydropower plants in Indigenous territories has strained relations between the state, the Mapuche people and hydropower companies. We analyze the Indigenous consultation process to identify the relations between actors and the role of state institutions to evaluate the extent to which these facili…
Emprendimiento en ciudades intermedias en Chile
Entrepreneurship has been understood as an important driver of new employment, and of economic well-being, and therefore many public policy programs have focused on it. Drawing on conceptual proposals that underpin this supposed relationship, it is argued here that the central point for an assessment from a sustainability perspective lies in the employment generated. The paper analyzes quantitatively the recent development of entrepreneurship in …
Santiago de Chile through the Eyes of Jane Jacobs. Analysis of the Conditions for Urban Vitality in a Latin American Metropolis
The urban planning ideas proposed by Jane Jacobs in the 1960s remain relevant to this day, promoting a perspective on the relationship between urban morphology and the community that takes into consideration the experiences of the people themselves in the planning of cities. With Jacobs’ ideas in mind, this article seeks to explore the urban territory of Santiago, Chile, and to assess the vitality of its neighborhoods with their diversity of morp…
Boom city! Regional resource peripheries and urban economic development in Chile
Although most studies of resource peripheries are macroeconomic in scale, a regional perspective permits a better understanding of the economic implications of commodity dependence. This study of the boom in commodity exports in Chile in the period 2005–15 shows that while a boom may have adverse effects on other activities, it also had positive impacts on the demand for ‘non-tradable’ construction, commerce and hospitality services in urban area…
Ciudades en auge en Chile
Las ciudades en Chile han vivido una fase de expansin al inicio del presente siglo relacionada con actividades de exportacin. Si bien un auge exportador puede producir efectos negativos sobre otros rubros, tambin genera importantes impulsos en las economas urbanas, debido a la demanda por servicios considerados no exportables o a travs de la inversin de renta y el circuito secundario del capital. Contrastando de manera cuantitativa ciudades chile…

La máquina de crecimiento en una ciudad minera y el papel del espacio público
El auge exportador en Chile ha transformado las ciudades del norte, generando un rápido crecimiento urbano, cambiando estructuras y promoviendo proyectos emblemáticos, entre ellos espacios públicos como el parque Kaukari en Copiapó. Este responde a una necesidad de la ciudad, debido a la deficiencia de los espacios públicos en cuanto a cantidad y calidad, pero también se puede interpretar como parte de una lógica de crecimiento urbano, intrínseca…
All Roads Lead to Computing
Computer science (CS) is becoming an increasingly diverse domain. This paper reports on an initiative designed to introduce underrepresented populations to computing using an eclectic, multifaceted approach. As part of a yearlong computing course, students engage in Maker activities, participatory simulations, and computing projects that foreground the social and collaborative aspects of CS. Collectively, these activities are designed to introduc…
Faculty perceptions of instrumental and improvement reasons behind quality assessments in higher education
While the stated aim of quality assessments is to improve the quality of the products and services offered by universities, some faculty view them as instrumental in justifying government budget cuts in education. By means of a survey administered to more than 300 faculty from 20 academic programmes undergoing quality assessments, we studied perceptions of the reasons behind the assessments. The results of our analysis show that faculty participa…
La gestión del hábitat articulada a iniciativas productivas para los sectores de bajos recursos en Rosario (Argentina)
La ciudad de Rosario y su aglomerado urbano cuentan con una población aproximada de 1.100.000 habitantes, y se sitúa en la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina). En esta ciudad la producción de la vivienda social se realiza básicamente desde los organismos públicos, registrándose también algunas experiencias gestionadas por cooperativas. En el contexto de crisis de la última década y por las condiciones de pobreza de los asentamientos irregulares sur…
