Amor, muerte y esperanza : reflexiones desde Gabriel Marcel

Resumen: No vivimos solos ni morimos solos. Por ello el acompañamiento del enfermo terminal desde una actitud de amor, sostenido en su base por la esperanza trascendente, es ciertamente necesario como actitud cristiana de donación, y su reflexión se incorpora a toda antropología que no deje de lado la tanatología. Si la antropología margina el “thanatos”, se torna fragmentaria e incompleta. Morir no es el fin de la biografía que le “pasa” a los demás: es la experiencia universal a la cual cada uno ha de prepararse. Este asunto será analizado teniendo como guía a un destacado filósofo francés, Gabriel Marcel, quien, de algún modo, ha dado luz con sus escritos y su preocupación vital sobre esta temática.

Structural geology of the region between Pacoima and Little Tujunga Canyons, San Gabriel Mountains, California

An area of about 25 square miles in the western part of the San Gabriel Mountains was mapped on a scale of 1000 feet to the inch. Special attention was given to the structural geology, particularly the relations between the different systems of faults, of which the San Gabriel fault system and the Sierra Madre fault system are the most important ones. The present distribution and relations of the rocks suggests that the southern block has tilted northward against a more stable mass of old rocks which was raised up during a Pliocene or post-Pliocene orogeny. It is suggested that this northward tilting of the block resulted in the group of thrust faults which comprise the Sierra Madre fault system. It is show that this hypothesis fits the present distribution of the rocks and occupies a logical place in the geologic history of the region as well or better than any other hypothesis previously offered to explain the geology of the region.

San Gabriel Valley sewerage system

The disposal of sewage is the most important item in public sanitation. It is the most important present day problem in every city whether large or small. The direct cause of the majority of epidemics is the contamination of the water supply of the city by the excreta of man or animal. Public health varies directly as public sanitation, and if the public sanitation be good, the liability of sickness caused by contamination of the water supply is greatly lessened. When a city outgrows its sewerage system the public health becomes endangered. There are two causes for the increased amount of sewerage, increase in population and increase in industrial and manufacturing wastes. The main problem in this connection is the ultimate disposal of the matter which reaches the sewers.
