The objectives include analyzing the current legal framework in Colombia and as…
Violent Conflict, the Struggle for Identity, and the Contagion of Mimetic Desire in the Prison Environment
My name is Carlos Garcia. I am 56 years old and a junior class member of the Hope College–Western Theological Seminary Prison Education Program. I have lived my entire life in the state of Michigan. Unfortunately, more than forty of those years have been spent in juvenile detention centers, county jails, rehabilitation centers, reformatories, and prisons. I have been accused, tried, and convicted legitimately, and wrongfully, for just about every…
The Drifting Influence of Hall's Random-Walk Hypothesis on Consumption Modeling
Hall's 1978 article titled "Stochastic Implications of the Life Cycle-Permanent Income Hypothesis" was meant to revolutionize consumption modeling. It indeed delivered, but not by becoming the dominant modeling strategy, but by unleashing a complex process of interaction between researchers in consumption and interconnected fields that transformed Hall's original object, from a local theory of consumption into a growing research area spanning the…
Utopía y revolución
En este artículo se analizan algunos aspectos teóricos e ideológicos que determinaron que las vanguardias artísticas se comprometieran en la construcción y el desarrollo de lo que Jean Francoise Dupuis (2004) ha llamado «estética radical», con el objetivo de mostrar que conceptos como utopía y revolución se vuelven fundamentales para poder entender el modo en el que las vanguardias de principios del siglo entendieron tanto su labor artística como…

The aims of the study were: (i) to describe the work integration after retirement in elite athletes, (ii) to compare the working integration of women and men, and Olympic and non-Olympic athletes, and (iii) to specify the factors that affect their employment status and current monthly income. A total of 476 former elite athletes were surveyed. Non-parametric statistics were applied to compare the differences between groups and a classification tr…
Support for a Fluid-Continuum Model of Sexual Orientation: A Large-Scale Internet Study
In a study with 17,785 subjects obtained over the Internet from the United States and 47 other countries, Kinsey's hypothesis that sexual orientation lies on a continuum was supported. Self-identifications of subjects as gay, straight, bisexual, and other corresponded to broad, skewed distributions, suggesting that such terms are misleading for many people. Sexual orientation range-roughly, how much flexibility someone has in expressing sexual or…
Modeling an economic evaluation of a salt fluoridation program in Peru: Modeling an economic evaluation of a salt fluoridation program in Peru

Mortalidad, crisis económica y costo de vida: Análisis de coyunturas sociodemográficas. Medellín-Colombia, 1917-1985
Este artículo pretende demostrar que Medellín a pesar de ser un centro industrial de formación temprana, no ha logrado erradicar socialmente (mejores condiciones de vida y de salud para la población) los beneficios del desarrollo económico. Por el contrario, el modelo de industrialización ha tenido como factor de acumulación una permanente política de “bajos salarios”, que obliga a la fuerza de trabajo a someterse a un régimen de reproducción soc…

The Role of Quality of Life in the Rural Resettlement of Mexican Immigrants
The past 10 years have seen the continued growth of the Mexican-origin population in the United States. This growth has been accompanied by the movement of immigrants away from traditional settlement locations in the Southwest. Using data collected from 45 interviews with immigrant workers in Northeastern Oklahoma, this study explores factors that motivate the movement of Mexican immigrants to nontraditional locations. The study finds that along …
American Identity and Attitudes Toward English Language Policy Initiatives
Relatively little is known about what individual-level factors drive Americans' attitudes toward offering services to immigrants. Using national-level data and logistic regressions, we examine what factors co-vary with whether respondents agree or disagree with specific policy initiatives regarding support for English language use for immigrants. We then examine what factors are related to whether respondents agree that tax money should be used t…
Buscando Trabajo: Social Networking Among Immigrants From Mexico to the United States
The growth of the Latino population in the United States has placed a sharp focus on immigration. Previous research on immigration has taken for granted the existence of immigrant networks. This is a significant oversight given their importance in both conveying social capital and their contribution to the growth of immigrant communities. Using data collected in the summer of 2002, the author looks at the development of an immigrant network in a …

La desordenada codicia de los bienes agenos
Giulio Massano nos ofrece aqui, en cuidada impresion, el texto de La desordenada codicia de los bienes agenos*. Merece la pena poner al alcance de los estudiosos una obra poco conocida y menos difundida que, sin embargo, es muy interesante; las ediciones existentes hasta ahora eran poco asequibles o no estaban hechas con el rigor filologico que seria de desear. Giulio Massano trata de remediar la situacion estableciendo el texto con sumo escrupul…
Ritual Preludes to Tewa Indian Dances
each moiety in alternate years. His assistants stem from both sides, three men from the winter, three from the summer moiety. When the new officers decide on the presentation of a particular dance they choose composers, singers, and dancers. The selection of composers presents no problems because only three gifted men have a genius for new song creation, and they are invariably appointed for new songs. They compose new songs for Turtle Dance (oku…
