La educación en América Latina hoy en el horizonte de la agenda educativa post 2015
2016
The year 2030 marks the renewed limit adopted by the international community —through its governmental and non-governmental organizations— for the achievement of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the six goals of the Education for All (EFA). We present here a general approach to some of the issues that define and condition the current state of education in Latin America in the wake of the post-2015 agenda. To this end, some key conditioning factors of the context, such as the social and economic inequality that characterizes the region, will be addressed. Likewise, documents generated within the governmental and institutional fields —directly related to education at all level…
Names for trace fossils: a uniform approach.
2006
The taxonomic treatment of trace fossils needs a uniform approach, independent of the ethologic groups concerned. To this aim, trace fossils are rigorously defined with regard to biological taxa and physical sedimentary structures. Potential ichnotaxobases are evaluated, with morphology resulting as the most important criterion. For trace fossils related to bioerosion and herbivory, substrate plays a key role, as well as composition for coprolites. Size, producer, age, facies and preservation are rejected as ichnotaxobases. Separate names for undertracks and other poorly preserved material should gradually be replaced by ichnotaxa based on well-preserved specimens. Recent traces may be iden…

What Human Rights are not (Or not Only). A Negative Path to Human Rights Practice
2014
What human rights are not (or not only) could offer an inclusive and intersectional approach able to get together the different dimensions (moral, legal, social ones) of the international and domestic practice of protecting individuals against violations and discriminations. The book aims at offering an overview of the current phase of the protection of rights, its relationships with and differences from natural rights and liberal rights of the Western tradition, an approach to their content and their possible uses in the domestic and international domain.
The Tortricidae described by J. C. Fabricius (Lepidoptera)
2011
The identity and nomenclature of the 88 species of Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) described by J. C. Fabricius are reviewed. Type material deposited in the Natural History Museum Denmark is illustrated. Lectotypes for Tinea compositella (Fabricius, 1775), Pyralis rivellana (Fabricius, 1775) and P. strigana (Fabricius, 1775) are designated. Two new synonymies are proposed: Pyralis marmorana (Fabricius, 1798), syn. n., of Ancylis achatana (Denis and Schiffermuller, 1775), and P. rusticana (Fabricius, 1794), syn. n., of Epinotia solandriana (Linnaeus, 1758). In an appendix, the identity and nomenclature of the 49 species of non-Tortricidae described by Fabricius in the genus Pyralis Linnaeus, 1758 …

Conflict management in the international context : analyzing the role of the United Nations in the Western Sahara conflict

This study specifically focuses on the UN’s role in resolving intercultural conflict in Western Sahara and the concrete steps it has taken, such as implementation of the cease-fire, the Settlement Plan and establishing the Mission for an independence referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO). It …

Two-pronged strategy
2004
Publikacijoje analizuojamas Latvijos požiūris į lietuvių ir lenkų santykius 1920 m. įvykių metu. 1920 m. rugsėjį latvių politikai turėjo ketinimų pagerinti Baltijos regiono šalių santykius su Sovietų Rusija, tačiau generolo L. Želigovskio kariniai veiksmai Vilniaus krašte palaidojo bet kokias viltis. Latvijos vyriausybė lietuviams ir lenkams siūlė susitikti deryboms Rygoje, bet lenkai atsisakė. Buvo spėjama, kad L Želigovskis palaiko ryšius su Varšuva. Latviai labai norėjo išvengti bet kokio konflikto su lenkais ir įvairiomis priemonėmis bei būdais to siekė. Atkreipiamas dėmesys, kad latviai neleido savo spaudoje paskelbti Lietuvos diplomatų pareiškimų, kuriuose buvo nepalankus požiūris į l…
Human Trafficking: The Viscous Link Between Vulnerability and Proximity Violence
2020
The definition of “human trafficking”, adopted by the United Nations Protocol, clearly describes how the international community has outlined the concepts of victim and perpetrator. Despite the definitive effort made by this Protocol, the present chapter seeks to throw light on the fuzzy area existing within the rapport between vulnerability and proximity violence which makes the consensual exploitation of the victim by the trafficker possible as well as making it difficult to outline its contours in the courtrooms.
