Students’ movement and participation in Latin-American psychology: historical and future perspectives

The historiographical paper presented is about the students’ activism and participation in the Latin American psychology. This aims are: 1) to provide a brief historic overview of the Latin American psychology; 2) to review on the students’ participation in the Latin American psychology; 3) to raise students’ future perspectives for the Latin American psychology. It is recognized that there is an extensive past of Latin American psychology and an emerging historiographical work that re fl ects that past.However, there are several historiographical gaps not covered yet by the investigations in the region. In this context, this paper wants to contribute to the study of the students’ activism and participation in the Latin American psychology construction. The historical perspective is supported by the renewed historiographical conception called instant history” which focuses on ancient and recent history at the same time. Indirect sources were used: articles, monographs and compiled editions.

Minimalist perspectives for psycholinguistic research

A particular approach to the study of psycholinguistic processes is presented, which is based on a minimalist conception of language. A procedural model of language acquisition is sketched, which reconciles infants speech processing and the idea of innately guided learning with a minimalist view of the initial state of language acquisition in an account of the bootstrapping problem. Language acquisition is viewed as proceeding with the progressive specification of formal features of the functional categories of the lexicon. The possibility of a minimalist derivation to be incorporated in a sentence production and/or comprehension model is discussed. Possible sources of language impairment, as manifested in SLI (Specific Language Impairment) syndrome, are considered in the light of this integrative approach. Reference is made to experimental work carried out in Brazilian Portuguese, with some extension to European Portuguese and River-Plate Spanish.

Introducción: El trabajo infantil es una problemática mundial que lleva a los niños a adquirir responsabilidades de adultos desde temprana edad, con el fin de obtener recursos económicos que contribuyan a mejorar la economía familiar. El presente trabajo estudia las características de los niños trabajadores en Colombia en el año 2010, teniendo en cuenta el tipo de empleador. Métodos: Estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal que se realizó empleando datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Demografía y Salud Colombia-2010. Se incluyeron en el análisis todos los niños entre los 6 y 17 años con datos en la encuesta. Resultados: En total se incluyeron 51.496 niños. A comparación de los niños no trabajadores, los niños que trabajan, independientemente de su empleador, tienen mayor edad, vienen de hogares más pobres, son con mayor frecuencia hombres, no se encuentran escolarizados y pertenecen al régimen subsidiado o no están afiliados al sistema de seguridad social. Los niños que trabajan con sus familias refieren peor estado de salud, pertenecen con mayor frecuencia a la etnia indígena, reciben subsidios de alimentación, tienen con menor frecuencia presencia de su madre y viven en áreas rurales. Los niños que trabajan con un tercero están afiliados con menor frecuencia al régimen de seguridad social especial, tienen menor probabilidad de haber visitado un médico en el último año, el jefe de hogar no es hombre con mayor frecuencia, y viven principalmente en áreas rurales.

Conclusiones: Los niños trabajadores presentan características comunes independientemente de su tipo de empleador, pero de acuerdo al tipo de empleador también se encuentran características particulares.

Bilateral trade between New Zealand & the pacific alliance: perspectives and possibilities for further trade engagement

Due to the rapid and effective success of countries in the Pacific Rim for the last two decades, current world trade attention has been focussed on what appears to be the common vision of the ‘Pacific Century’. Reducing attention from the Atlantic and focusing it on the Pacific represents a new challenge for countries touching this ocean. The main Latin American economies bordering the pacific have taken upon this challenge with the creation of the Pacific Alliance in 2011. In this way, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru intend to penetrate and increase trade with the region by forming a coalition. The Pacific Alliance has attracted international attention, interest and support from nations around the world, counting 32 countries as observers; 7 are actually located in the region and six of them rank amongst the Top 15 world economies. As is expected, the possibility of closer trade engagement with big players such as China, India, Japan, South Korea or Australia absorb the main attention of media, governments and academics alike, leaving behind other feasible and possible opportunities unattended. That is precisely the case of New Zealand and its favourable commerce opportunities with the Pacific Alliance. The following document will study the major trends and variations in trade between New Zealand, the Pacific Alliance and its members between 2010 and 2014. Proving that mutual trade is most likely to keep on growing.
