Population stratification based on healthcare trajectories: A method for encouraging adaptive learning at meso level
This paper proposes a method to support population management by evaluating population needs using population stratification based on healthcare trajectories. Reimbursed healthcare consumption data for the first semester of 2017 contained within the inter-mutualist database were analysed to create healthcare trajectories for a subset of the population aged between 60 and 79 (N = 22,832) to identify (1) the nature of health events, (2) key transit…

M arixa L asso . Erased: The Untold Story of the Panama Canal
Marixa Lasso’s Erased: The Untold Story of the Panama Canal is the first book written by a Panamanian historian to focus on the period of the US construction of the Panama Canal. A strikingly original study, it provides a novel vantage point on US intervention in Panama from 1903 to 1916, as well as its impact and legacies, and in so doing makes powerful arguments about neocolonialism and modernity. It concentrates on the creation of the Canal Zo…

Interannual variability of phyto-bacterioplankton biomass and production in coastal and offshore waters of the Baltic Sea
The microbial part of the pelagic food web is seldom characterized in models despite its major contribution to biogeochemical cycles. In the Baltic Sea, spatial and temporal high frequency sampling over three years revealed changes in heterotrophic bacteria and phytoplankton coupling (biomass and production) related to hydrographic properties of the ecosystem. Phyto- and bacterioplankton were bottom-up driven in both coastal and offshore areas. C…
Projected future climate change and Baltic Sea ecosystem management
Climate change is likely to have large effects on the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Simulations indicate 2-4 °C warming and 50-80 % decrease in ice cover by 2100. Precipitation may increase ~30 % in the north, causing increased land runoff of allochthonous organic matter (AOM) and organic pollutants and decreased salinity. Coupled physical-biogeochemical models indicate that, in the south, bottom-water anoxia may spread, reducing cod recruitment and incr…

Legal narratives of citizenship, the social question, and public order in Colombia, 1915-1930 and after
This article focuses on what happened to citizenship rights in Colombia in the 1920s when urbanization and industrialization brought the ‘social question’ to the fore. In exploring the categories relating to citizenship and narratives about them in laws and congressional debates, it reads the fields of political, social, and civil rights in relation to one another and signals the particular anxieties that centred and still today centre on civil r…
Evaluation of the practices in Therapeutic Patient Education for peadiatric obesity: Edudora project
Results: Results indicate that mean levels of eating concerns, drive for thinness, bulimic symptoms and body dissatisfaction decreased over the 6-year period. Dietary restraint, weight and shape concerns were stable over time. Also, half of the youngsters who reported objective binge eating at baseline, still reported binge eating episodes at follow-up

The Dictator's Seduction: Politics and the Popular Imagination in the Era of Trujillo
Studying the logic and social bases of twentieth-century dictatorships in the Caribbean and Central America recently has attracted a small coterie of sophisticated historians. Some of the most innovative focus on the “sultanic” regime of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic (Eric Roorda, 1998; Richard Turits, 2003; Christian Krohn-Hansen, 2009). Lauren Derby’s long-awaited study of the symbolic cultural politics of Trujillo’s rule greatly en…

Introduction to Colombia
The Colombian Crisis in Historical Perspective
This article explores the nineteenth- and twentieth-century roots of the present violence in Colombia and the main actors involved therein. Focusing on the civilian government, the Colombian military, the FARC and ELN guerrillas, and the paramilitaries, it emphasizes the chronic weakness of the state, the privatization and regionalization of conflict, the impact of the cocaine export economy, and the difficulties of coming to a peace agreement. T…
Michael F. Jiménez (1948-2001)
Michael Jiménez was passionate about many things: the coffee lands and, above them, the high sabana of Colombia where he grew up; issues of social justice; the liberating potential of radical Catholicism; and his students’ capacity for critical understanding and engagement in social action. He was a gifted teacher, a spellbinding orator, a loving father and husband, and a lively, compassionate friend who left a lasting imprint on all who knew him…
Identity and Struggle at the Margins of the Nation-State: The Laboring Peoples of Central America and the Hispanic Caribbean
As all eyes turned on Central America in the early 1980s, it became clear that much of the history of these countries, essential to making sense of the contemporary crisis, had yet to be written. During the 1980s, concerned graduate students in North American universities began to focus on the small, heretofore “unimportant” nations of Central America and the Hispanic Caribbean, bringing to bear broader analytical questions about how popular grou…

Informal Resistance on a Dominican Sugar Plantation During the Trujillo Dictatorship
The cane cutters who toiled on the great foreign-owne sugar plantations of the twentieth-century Caribbean were sorne of the most exploited of Latin American wage workers. Employed only for the five-month sugar harvest, they did long hours of back-breaking work in stifling heat for barely subsistence pay. Because the work was seasonal and many of the workers were temporary migrant laborers from other countries, unionization was difficult and lega…

In the nineteenth century, however, a significant shift occurred in the kind of materials exported.

Colombian transformations: Peasants and wage-labourers in the Santa Marta Banana Zone
This paper examines the various forms of rural protest directed against the United Fruit Company in Colombia between 1900 and 1964. It explores the three factors that explain the tensions between the rural population and the Company: structural tensions between the peasant economy and the export sector; the relationship between peasants and wage-labourers; and the effects of international market cycles on local conditions. In concluding, it quest…

Perspectives for the Historical Study of Rural Politics and the Colombian Case: An Overview
In the study of agrarian politics in general and the history of rural Colombia in particular, four broad, interrelated perspectives are relevant to the understanding of rural politics: peasants and rebellion, the interaction of local and national politics, patron-client relations, and regionalism. Principal issues and trends within each of these areas are explored here, and an effort is made to generate specific questions for historical investiga…
