Transitions to upper secondary education are crucial to
understanding social inequalities. In most European countries, it
is at this moment when students are separated into different tracks
and faced with a 'real choice' in relation to their educational
trajectory. Based on a qualitative driven approach with multiple
research techniques, including documentary analysis, questionnaires
and over 100 interviews with policymakers, teachers and young
people in Barcelona and Madrid, this book offers a holistic account
of upper secondary educational transitions in urban contexts.
Contributors explore the political, institutional and subjective
dimensions of these transitions and the multiple mechanisms of
inequality that traverse them. Providing vital insights for policy
and practice that are internationally relevant, this book will
guarantee greater equity and social justice for young people
regarding their educational trajectories and opportunities.

Sanchez and Sanchez have selected, edited, translated, and
introduced some of the most influential texts in Mexican
philosophy, which constitute a unique and robust tradition that
will challenge and complicate traditional conceptions of
philosophy. The texts collected here are organized chronologically
and represent a period of Mexican thought and culture that emerged
from the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and which culminated in la
filosofia de lo mexicano (the philosophy of Mexicanness). Though
the selections reflect on a variety of philosophical questions,
collectively they represent a growing tendency to take seriously
the question of Mexican national identity as a philosophical
question-especially given the complexities of Mexico's indigenous
and European ancestries, a history of colonialism, and a growing
dependency on foreign money and culture. More than an attempt to
describe the national character, however, the texts gathered here
represent an optimistic period in Mexican philosophy that aimed to
affirm Mexican culture and philosophy as a valuable, if not urgent,
contribution to universal culture.
Emilio Uranga, a founding member of the famed el grupo Hiperion,
devoted his life to characterizing the nuances and uniqueness of
Mexican existence. His landmark book, Analisis del ser del mexicano
became an instant classic. This is the first English translation of
the work, which, accompanied by a comprehensive introduction,
features: * Key moments in the development of 20th century Mexican
philosophy up to the writing of Uranga's text * A detailed overview
of the translated text and its most significant movements *
Discussion of Uranga's relevance to contemporary debates in the
phenomenology of culture, decolonial philosophy, phenomenology, and
Latin American philosophy itself * Considerations of Uranga's
"ontology," and how he justified his project by appealing to
20th-century Mexican poetry and existential phenomenology Reading
Uranga's brilliant words expertly translated and introduced by
Carlos Alberto Sanchez finally allows us to understand why this
Mexican philosopher is considered one of the most fearless and
original thinkers of the 20th century.

La oscuridad en el ser humano es tan vital, necesaria e irrefutable
como el mismo oxigeno que necesitamos desde el primer segundo de
nuestra existencia. Que hay dentro de esa oscuridad que el ser
humano ha catalogado como vil y diabolica desde el comienzo? Quien
o quienes nos guiaron o nos obligaron a medir o definir el bien y
el mal en nuestra naturaleza? Que es y que hace nuestra luz en
contra de nuestra propia oscuridad? O mejor aun... Es nuestra luz
en verdad esa "virtud celestial" que creemos que es? Que es la gran
bestia, la gran criatura que nos mira desde esa oscuridad? Es el
tiempo de un nuevo despertar humano. Es la hora en que la humanidad
se de cuenta de su verdadero origen divino y haga valer su poder en
si mismos. Un despertar tan violento como lo mas cruel y putrido
del hombre nos espera. Mas alla de cualquier profecia y vaticinio
sobre el fin de los tiempos; nuestros protagonistas se enfrentan a
una realidad jamas pensada acerca de nuestra verdadera y unica
naturaleza divina o demoniaca. Todo esta relacionado al fin de
cuentas, y la gran criatura lo sabe y nos asecha. "Destellos en la
oscuridad," te asombrara, te aterrara y te llevara a conocer a
nuestra especie como jamas la conociste. La gran criatura te
espera.

This work engages Edmund Husserl's phenomenological philosophy from
the years 1901 to 1913. It argues that central to what Husserl
calls 'the phenomenology of reason' is a theory of epistemic
justification which proposes that one holds a belief as true when
it is 'rational' to hold that belief as true, and this occurs when
the belief is justified by an intuitive presentation of the object
to which it refers. I focus on three major works of Husserl's early
period: Logical Investigations (1900/1), The Idea of Phenomenology
(1907), and Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and
Phenomenological Philosophy, Book 1 (1913). The claim is that the
epistemological ideas leading to the phenomenology of reason follow
an uninterrupted and intentional path culminating in the view that
it is justification of one's beliefs which allows the thinking
subject to overcome her skeptical worries and, ultimately, that it
is the phenomenological method itself that serves as the means to
achieve philosophical, and human, authenticity.

Se realizo un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo y longitudinal, con
el proposito de describir el comportamiento clinico epidemiologico
de la enfermedad cerebrovascular hemorragica en pacientes de 40
anos y mas en el Hospital Joaquin Paneca del municipio Yaguajay
entre el ano 2006 y 2010. Se revisaron datos estadisticos y las 97
historias clinicas de pacientes ingresados con el diagnostico en el
periodo. Los resultados indican una morbilidad hospitalaria por
hemorragia cerebral de 0,8%, mortalidad 6,4% y una letalidad de
39,2%, la hemorragia intraparenquimatosa fue 2,7 veces mas
frecuente relacionada a la hipertension arterial como principal
factor de riesgo en el 62,9%, la edad entre 60 y 69 anos con el 63%
y el sexo masculino en relacion 1,4 hombres/mujer, predominaron en
ambas formas de ICTUS hemorragico, las alteraciones de la
conciencia 81,4% y la hipertension arterial con el 48,4% fueron las
manifestaciones clinicas mayoritarias. Se concluyo que la
enfermedad cerebrovascular hemorragica en la institucion tiene un
comportamiento similar al resto de otros centros hospitalarios del
pais."
Se realizo un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en el
consultorio de odontologia del modulo de Barrio Adentro sector La
Resistencia, Municipio Simon Bolivar, Estado Anzoategui, con el
objetivo de identificar el comportamiento de la odontalgia por
Caries Rampante en pacientes de 0-5 anos. La poblacion estuvo
constituida por 154 ninos que acudieron a consulta estomatologica
con el diagnostico de Caries Rampante y la muestra la integraron
107 pacientes de esta edad, que asistieron a recibir tratamiento
por odontalgias debido a este tipo de caries. En el mismo
predominaron los mayores de 4 anos del sexo femenino. Las entidades
patologicas mas frecuentes que ocasionaron odontalgias por este
tipo de caries fueron la pulpitis reversible aguda, necrosis pulpar
y el absceso dentoalveolar agudo. Segun la clasificacion de Caries
Rampante los pacientes en estadio moderado fueron los mas
afectados. La dieta cariogenica, fue el factor de riesgo que mas
estuvo presente. La mayoria de los pacientes refirieron alivio
despues de haber sido tratados. El analisis de los resultados
permitio comprender la necesidad de recomendar acciones de salud,
para la prevencion y manejo de esta entidad."
