Los conflictos internacionales con Irán y Corea del Norte (I): el proceso negociador

El artículo detalla el proceso de negociación llevado a cabo para solucionar el conflicto creado por las pretensiones nucleares de Irán y la República Popular de Corea, así como el contexto político y de seguridad regional. El artículo está dividido en dos partes. La primera parte que se publica en este número detalla, en lo posible, el proceso negociador, las propuestas presentadas y las posiciones contrapuestas. Para su recto entendimiento se explican los dilemas y las líneas rojas establecidas por la Administración estadounidense, que van más allá de lo que establece el Tratado de No Proliferación; así como las razones de esta postura: el programa nuclear clandestino de Irán, la “admisión” de la existencia de un programa de enriquecimiento nuclear clandestino en el caso de la República Popular de Corea. Se analizan así los presupuestos, las carencias negociadoras, la falta de garantías de seguridad y la profunda desconfianza existente en estos dos Estados con respecto a las políticas e intenciones de los Estados Unidos. Una segunda parte explicará con más detalle las implicaciones políticas y de seguridad regional.

Meeting minutes maintained by the Secretary, April 17, 1792 and May 7, 1793

These minutes, recorded on the recto and verso of a single page, are incomplete excerpts.

[Eastern and Oriental book list, 1790]

Folio-sized leaf containing a handwritten lists of books on the recto and verso. One side contains a list marked "Orient. Dict'y Biblioth. &c," and other side contains a list marked "Eastern." Entries contain the author's last name, abbreviated title, and imprint year. The lists are written on a repurposed account book leaf marked, "Shares of the Fines and Forfeitures recovered in the 1750."

Paper wrapper formerly used to bundle records related to Nathan Prince, undated

Recto of wrapper reads: "Oct. 31, 1740 to June 24, 1742. Papers relative to the charges against & defence made by Nathan Prince in 1741. Examined & done with." Verso reads "Hon. President [Josiah] Quincy." These annotations suggest that the records in this collection were consulted by Quincy, who served as Harvard's President from 1829 to 1845. It is likely that he used them when writing his two-volume History of Harvard University, which includes a lengthy passage about Prince and his trials at Harvard.

The report of the committee about Harvard Coledge: presented to the Generall Court held the 3 of (3) month, 1654

Two folio-sized leaves with a handwritten draft of the May 3, 1654 report of a General Court Committee authorized to investigate the financial state of Harvard College. The report responds directly to eight questions raised in the September 10, 1653 Order of the General Court that established the Committee. The report provides summaries of Harvard's income sources and disbursements, offers recommendations regarding the President's salary and the allowances for the academic Fellows, steward, butler, and cook, and indicates specific contributions from local towns.

Student notebook of James Blake on Hebrew grammar, 1767

A small paper notebook containing eight-pages of English notes on Hebrew grammar and Hebrew script written by Harvard undergraduate James Blake in 1767. The title of the first page, "Of Nouns," is annotated with the note, "Benj'm Wadsworth, 1767" and the recto of the back cover contains a personal note to "Rev'd Mr. Wadsworth" signed "J. B.," presumably referring to Benjamin Wadsworth (1750-1826; Harvard AB 1769).

Second St. Gallen European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Gastrointestinal Cancer Conference: consensus recommendations on controversial issues in the primary treatment of rectal cancer

Primary treatment of rectal cancer was the focus of the second St. Gallen European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Gastrointestinal Cancer Conference. In the context of the conference, a multidisciplinary international expert panel discussed and voted on controversial issues which could not be easily answered using published evidence. Main topics included optimal pretherapeutic imaging, indication and type of neoadjuvant treatment, and the treatment strategies in advanced tumours. Here we report the key recommendations and summarise the related evidence. The treatment strategy for localised rectal cancer varies from local excision in early tumours to neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RCT) in combination with extended surgery in locally advanced disease. Optimal pretherapeutic staging is a key to any treatment decision. The panel recommended magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or MRI + endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) as mandatory staging modalities, except for early T1 cancers with an option for local excision, where EUS in addition to MRI was considered to be most important because of its superior near-field resolution. Primary surgery with total mesorectal excision was recommended by most panellists for some early tumours with limited risk of recurrence (i.e. cT1-2 or cT3a N0 with clear mesorectal fascia on MRI and clearly above the levator muscles), whereas all other stages were considered for multimodal treatment. The consensus panel recommended long-course RCT over short-course radiotherapy for most clinical situations where neoadjuvant treatment is indicated, with the exception of T3a/b N0 tumours where short-course radiotherapy or even no neoadjuvant therapy were regarded to be an option. In patients with potentially resectable tumours and synchronous liver metastases, most panel members did not see an indication to start with classical fluoropyrimidine-based RCT but rather favoured preoperative short-course radiotherapy with systemic combination chemotherapy or alternatively a liver-first resection approach in resectable metastases, which both allow optimal systemic therapy for the metastatic disease. In general, proper patient selection and discussion in an experienced multidisciplinary team was considered as crucial component of care.
