El Madrugón en Bogotá, un mercado textil popular cuyos lazos de solidaridad reproducen órdenes comerciales y productivos de carácter informal

El presente documento explora las estrategias y características de dos unidades de trabajo vinculadas a uno de los fenómenos comerciales informales más importantes en Bogotá y que es conocido popularmente como El Madrugón, mercado en el que se venden principalmente artículos de la confección. Se trató de ilustrar en detalle y relacionalmente mediante la teoría del sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu, las diversas situaciones a nivel comercial y productivo que estructuran la permanencia en un territorio altamente competitivo y que se caracteriza por sus ventas mayoristas. Asimismo, la investigación trata de entender las lógicas comerciales de un fenómeno urbano cuyo origen está fuertemente configurado por una política pública en relación a la recuperación de un espacio público en el sector de San Victorino (Bogotá), pero también por una estructura de mercado muy particular. El objetivo principal del presente trabajo fue el de comprender cómo este territorio se construye a partir de prácticas informales que en algunos casos tienen elementos ‘Modernos’.

"Genome-Wide Linkage in a Highly Consanguineous Pedigree Reveals Two Novel Loci on Chromosome 7 for Non-Syndromic Familial Premature Ovarian Failure"

Background: The human condition known as Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is characterized by loss of ovarian function before the age of 40. A majority of POF cases are sporadic, but 10–15% are familial, suggesting a genetic origin of the disease. Although several causal mutations have been identified, the etiology of POF is still unknown for about 90% of the patients. Methodology/Principal Findings: We report a genome-wide linkage and homozygosity analysis in one large consanguineous Middle-Eastern POF-affected family presenting an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. We identified two regions with a LODmax of 3.26 on chromosome 7p21.1-15.3 and 7q21.3-22.2, which are supported as candidate regions by homozygosity mapping. Sequencing of the coding exons and known regulatory sequences of three candidate genes (DLX5, DLX6 and DSS1) included within the largest region did not reveal any causal mutations. Conclusions/Significance: We detect two novel POF-associated loci on human chromosome 7, opening the way to the identification of new genes involved in the control of ovarian development and function.

The swindle crime: a necessary normative construction of its elements

The present work exposes a review about the performance of the “traditional” thesis(Naturalistic) of the swindle crime in front of the needs of the present’s Political Policy.For this system, the various frauds’ elements require a causal relationship. Today itmight be wondered whether this solution is desirable, i.e. whether respond efficientlyto the problematic assumptions that the contemporary business practices raises.

Some elements for the construction of a definition of human rights

This article seeks to demystify the foundations of rights. It looks at the search for some systemic differentiation. It emphasizes effectiveness, legitimacy, the importance of convention and of political participation as common elements of the different theoretical approaches to human rights. By analysing these elements it is possible to build the term “human rights” as a concept capable of being measured accurately by studying the effectiveness of legal rules as applied to human rights in specific contexts.
