A Grey Area of Rights and Knowledge: Displacement in Colombia, South-South Migration and Health Equity

Globalization and liberalization of the economies have produced among others drastic effects on the human mobility, generating confusion, enhancing discrimination and a lack of respect to the rights of several migrant collectives. In this article we analyse several challenges for the study of these phenomena, based on the case of the neglected health rights of Colombian women, who have been forced to displace by the country's internal conflict, and are thus pushed to cross the border to Ecuador. The article identifies several knowledge gaps that could allow and advance a better understanding of these critical subjects. The paper - a think piece -is based upon a general review of documents and studies on the relation between migration and health. The supporting theory on the research comes from international organisations such as the WHO and IOM, NGOs, grass-roots organisations and academic research. This paper shows the need for focusing on the reality of supra states which globalization has generated, and t e urgency of securing the access to essential health preconditions to migrant populations. These issues can no longer be neglected and should be included on agendas at international level, widening the approach of programs to the displaced/immigrant population by taking into account the need to ensure the essential health preconditions (equity), prevention, and protection. Further, it is clear that women and children require a better protection with enhanced prevention and responding measures to sexual abuse, stigmatisation, violence and the respect of their rights.

Desarrollo entorno colaborativo de apoyo a la docencia de asignaturas de teoría de la señal.

En el proyecto se ha desarrollado una herramienta que permita a los alumnos. 1. Hacer operaciones en modo individual sobre tratamiento de imágenes. 2. Hacer operaciones en modo colaborativo sobre este tema. Se ha tratado de crear un entorno de trabajo amigable y fácilmente expandible. Para ello, hemos hecho uso de otros esquemas de procesado de imagen (fundamentalmente lehors y matlab) tratando de incorporar a nuestra aplicación las ventajas de éstos. Asimismo, se han incorporado las ideas de entornos actualmente en uso, concretamente, BSCW, con el objetivo de conseguir crear una auténtica conciencia de grupo en los participantes. Esperamos que esta herramienta consiga a través del intercambio de conocimientos y experiencias, los objetivos educativos perseguidos. La evaluación se llevará a cabo en el segundo cuatrimestre del curso 2001-2002, y en función de ella, se decidirá su publicación.

Narrativas seriales e intimidad amatoria: estudio de caso de Grey's Anatomy

El aparecimiento de la televisión por cable implicó profundas transformaciones en los relatos mediáticos, particularmente en lo que respecta a las series televisivas, que rompen con la narrativa melodramática tradicional. El propósito de este trabajo es el de establecer la forma en que se narra el amor romántico, y que tipo de relación amorosa se representa, en una serie de televisión por cable que se emite en el Ecuador a través de Sony Entertainment: Grey’s Anatomy. Se indaga acerca del amor como un sistema de comunicación altamente complejo, y de resolución improbable, por la cantidad de variables que intervienen para que el amor pasión se consolide. Este sistema, por otra, parte tiene un sustrato genético determinado cerebralmente, cuando se produce simplemente es devastador. Las relaciones amorosas están condicionadas por factores culturales y sociales lo que obliga a establecer distinciones entre el amor romántico y la “relación pura” de pareja cuya característica es construirse a partir de la confianza y la “reflexividad” en la modernidad. Será la relación pura la que fundamentalmente se narre en la serie. La narrativa serial aprovecha esta experiencia universal del amor, para con recursos y técnicas que provienen del campo de la cinematografía establecer una narrativa amorosa particular. Formalmente el montaje, los planos y los movimientos de la cámara, se unen a los efectos emocionales que provoca la música en cada episodio para construir significaciones que conducen a despertar la rememoración emocional del espectador.

Breeding distribution and population decline of globally threatened Grey-necked Picathartes Picathartes oreas in Mbam Minkom Mountain Forest, southern Cameroon

The Grey-necked Picathartes Picathartes oreas, considered 'Vulnerable', is an enigmatic ground-dwelling bird endemic to the central African equatorial rainforest and belongs to a family of only two species. Its distribution extends to the two Endemic Bird Areas within Cameroon (Guinea Congo forest biome and Cameroon mountain arc) and its population is thought to be in decline throughout its range due to increasing habitat fragmentation and disturbance. During March-April 2003 and June and October 2007 we surveyed Grey-necked Picathartes in the north-western region of the Mbam Minkom Mountain Forest. In January-March 2006 we surveyed the entire mountain range and found go breeding and 24 potential breeding sites, mostly located on the western slopes. From the complete survey, we estimated the population at 44 breeding individuals. Populations were highest in the north-west region but had apparently declined from 40 breeding individuals in 2003 to 20 in 2007. This region accounted for 41% of the entire population on the mountain range during the 2006 survey. The Mbam Minkom/Kala Important Bird Area was designated based on the presence of Grey-necked Picathartes but is under high pressure of imminent destruction from agricultural encroachment and illegal timber exploitation. These results have important implications for decision making in delimiting forest boundaries and core areas for protection in the development of management plans. We suggest possible remedial actions, appropriate repeatable methods for future monitoring and opportunities for community involvement in the management and conservation of the site.

Status and distribution of the Grey-headed Fish-Eagle (Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus) in the Prek Toal Core Area of Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia

The regional population of the Grey-headed Fish-Eagle (Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus) in Southeast Asia is thought to be in recent decline and its conservation status Linder threat. We undertook a systematic survey in a flooded swamp forest at the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia and recorded 32 pairs of eagles in an area of approximately 80 km(2). Three species of water snakes were identified as eagle prey items, previously unrecorded for this species. We suggest that this eagle population has significant regional importance and discuss potential anthropogenic threats to population stability, such as water snake harvesting and construction Of upstream hydropower dams.

Hepatozoon griseisciuri in grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis): changes of blood leucocyte numbers resulting from infection

Numbers of leucocytes in squirrels with gametocytes of Hepatozoon in their blood (infected) were compared with animals without gametocytes (uninfected). Typical values for leucocytes/mm(3) blood in uninfected squirrels were: leucocytes 5-7 x 10(3), granulocytes 3-4 x 10(3), lymphocytes 2-0 x 10(3) and monocytes 0-3 x 10(3) cells. Infection caused an increase in monocytes, lymphocytes and granulocytes, and there was a significant positive association between parasitaemia level and numbers of both total leucocytes and monocytes. Infected animals had more uninfected monocytes/mm(3) blood than did uninfected animals. The proportions of monocytes were more variable over time in infected animals, but no shift between infected and uninfected status was detected. Transfer of serum from infected squirrels to mice resulted in elevated counts of total blood leucocytes, monocytes and granulocytes, but not of lymphocytes, as compared with controls. Serum from squirrels with high parasitaemias had a more marked effect than serum from squirrels with low parasitaemias. Results indicate an infection - related monocytosis, possibly controlled by cytokines, that increases the number of cells available for invasion by gametocytes, thus enhancing the chances of parasite transmission.
