ORLANDO COSTAS: ENSAIOS NO CAMINHO PARA UMA PASTORAL EVANGÉLICA LATINO-AMERICANA

Nesta pesquisa se propõe analisar a pastoral evangélica latino-americana elaborada por Orlando Costas. Teólogo pastoralista, missiólogo e de origem porto-riquenha, Costas elaborou método e metodologia de pastoral a partir de sua confissão religiosa evangelical em diálogo ecumênico e em consonância crítica com a situação política, econômica, social e religiosa de Porto Rico e da América Latina. Costas, juntamente com Emilio Castro, foi um dos primeiros a lançar as bases para uma pastoral evangélica visando ao homem latino-americano. Criticou o modelo da teologia pastoral norte-atlântica centrada no pastor com sujeito da ação pastoral da igreja alegando ser; repetitiva, profissional e eclesiocêntrica. A pesquisa foi realizada em três passos, que se realizam nos capítulos um, dois e três, respectivamente, compreender o contexto político, econômico, social e religioso da vida de Orlando Costas a partir de Porto Rico, suas experiências de conversão-ruptura dentro da sua tradição religiosa e a nova percepção pastoral; analisar o desenvolvimento histórico teológico da pastoral evangélica, ou seja, os movimentos, conferências, instituições e teólogos que influenciaram o pensamento de Costas; e, apresentar os fundamentos missiológicos e teológicos da pastoral evangélica, em que se demonstra que a pastoral de Costas é missiológico-pastoral, pois assume a missio Dei como princípio arquitetônico e a pastoral como princípio hermenêutico para a ação missional e pastoral. Conclui-se que a proposta de Costas é de uma pastoral evangélica e ecumênica, contextual e autóctone, dentro e fora da igreja.(AU)

Indefensión aprendida como determinante de la salud en mujeres sobrevivientes de cáncer de mama

Los avances en la detección temprana y los tratamientos para el cáncer han aumentado la probabilidad de sobrevivir a esta enfermedad. Según el Registro Central de Cáncer de Puerto Rico, se estiman 61,928 sobrevivientes de cáncer para enero del 2010. De entre los distintos tipos de cáncer entre las mujeres en Puerto Rico, el cáncer de mama es el de mayor incidencia, prevalencia y mortalidad pero también el de más sobrevivencia. El tratamiento del cáncer, como el de todas las enfermedades crónicas, usualmente es prolongado. Además, el tratamiento produce secuelas que se manifiestan a lo largo de la vida del sobreviviente. Es por esto que las personas con diagnóstico de cáncer requieren de un mayor autocuidado posterior al diagnóstico. El autocuidado de la salud se ha definido como las decisiones, las actitudes y las prácticas que las personas asumen para cuidar su salud. Según múltiples estudios, el autocuidado de salud incluyendo factores como el cumplimiento con el plan de seguimiento, afectan las tasas de mortalidad en los individuos. A pesar del aumento en la sobrevivencia, las tasas de mortalidad tienden a ser más altas entre los sobrevivientes oncológicos, especialmente en minorías étnicas en los Estados Unidos. Más aun, el considerar el cáncer como un agente estresor, implica que las mujeres asuman unas prácticas de autocuidado como forma de afrontamiento...

Artistas españoles exiliados en el Caribe: el caso de la República Dominicana y Vela Zanetti

Hemos realizado un estudio analítico del exilio artístico español en El Caribe, principalmente en la República Dominicana, con especial énfasis en las relaciones artísticas y culturales que establecieron los refugiados. Se trata de una contribución, a través de la figura de José Vela Zanetti, al exilio artístico español en Latinoamérica partiendo de la hipótesis de que la proyección creativa de estos artistas y las circunstancias históricas que los acompañaron, determinaron su obra e impactaron en la trayectoria del arte de los países de acogida. El objetivo general de esta tesis es el análisis de la producción artística de los españoles exiliados en Cuba, Puerto Rico y República Dominicana, con especial atención al caso dominicano y la figura del pintor José Vela Zanetti. Otro de los objetivos de esta investigación consiste en el estudio del vínculo de los artistas exiliados con las sociedades receptoras y sus relaciones con el colectivo de inmigrantes establecido en cada una de ellas. En este sentido, podemos determinar las redes artísticas que se tejieron en base a la participación de los creadores españoles en la vida cultural de los países de destino. Por último, tomaremos como caso de estudio la figura del artista burgalés José Vela Zanetti, cuyo paso por la República Dominicana dejó una profunda huella en el imaginario artístico del país. Hemos seleccionado a este pintor por su interesante trayectoria muralística en la isla dominicana y en otros países hispanoamericanos por los que peregrinó. Para llevar a cabo los objetivos propuestos en esta investigación, se ha establecido una metodología centrada en ofrecer una visión panorámica del exilio en El Caribe, hasta llegar al caso concreto de cada artista. Por tanto, ha sido fundamental la aproximación a cada uno de los contextos políticos, sociales y culturales que enmarcaron y condicionaron la producción artística de los creadores españoles. En este estudio hemos tenido en cuenta gran variedad de fuentes, desde una recopilación sistemática de la bibliografía propia del tema, hasta la consideración de fuentes documentales más concretas sin obviar las propias obras de arte como fuente esencial de estudio. Entre las fuentes primarias hemos incluido las publicaciones especializadas (actas de congresos, publicaciones científicas, publicaciones monográficas y catálogos de exposiciones), junto con las fuentes hemerográficas y epistolares. Éstas comprenden artículos de opinión, reportajes de exposiciones, correspondencia, críticas y fotografías aparecidas en prensa...

The Fate of Greece in a ‘Genuine Economic and Monetary Union’: Lessons from a small island state. CEPS Hi-Level Brief, 19 June 2015 Friday, 19 June 2015

As the Greek debt drama reaches another supposedly decision point, Daniel Gros urges creditors (and indeed all policy-makers) to think about the long term and poses one key question in this CEPS High-Level Brief: What can be gained by keeping Greece inside the euro area at “whatever it takes”? As he points out, the US, with its unified politics and its federal fiscal transfer system, is often taken as a model for the Eurozone, and it is thus instructive to consider the longer-term performance of an area of the US which has for years been kept afloat by massive transfers, and which is now experiencing a public debt crisis. The entity in question is Puerto Rico, which is an integral part of the US in all relevant economic dimensions (currency, economic policy, etc.). The dismal fiscal and economic performance of Puerto Rico carries two lessons: 1) Keeping Greece in the eurozone by increasing implicit subsidies in the form of debt forgiveness might create a low-growth equilibrium with increasing aid dependency. 2) It is wrong to assume that, further integration, including a fiscal and political union, would be sufficient to foster convergence, and prevent further problems of the type the EU is experiencing with Greece.

Description and chemical composition of manganese nodules in a core located in the Nares Abyssal Plain, Atlantic Ocean

Three nodules from a core taken north of Puerto Rico are composed chiefly of an x-ray amorphous, hydrated, iron-manganese oxide, with secondary goethite, and minor detrital silicates incorporated during growth of the nodules. No primary manganese mineral is apparent. The nodules are enriched in iron and depleted in manganese relative to Atlantic Ocean averages. The formation of these nodules appears to have been contemporary with sedimentation and related to volcanic activity.
