This book presents descriptions of interventions, results of empirical research, and theoretical contributions developed by Latine/x psychologists based on affirmative approaches aimed at promoting acceptance and understanding of LGBTIQ+ people. Contributions in this volume bring together the work of Latine/x scholars, practitioners, and activists across five Latin American countries or territories (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico) and in the United States, in an effort to provide multicultural perspectives to LGBTIQ+ affirmative psychological interventions that highlight local, regional and national particularities. Chapters in this volume go beyond contributions made by applied psychology fields (e.g., clinical and counselling psychology), where affirmative orientations are predominantly located, and include contributions from other fields of psychological research such as social and community psychology. The book is divided in two parts. Chapters in the first part focus on the experiences of trans and gender non-conforming people, with emphasis on contemporary systemic issues that affect gender identity among Latine/x communities and those who do not conform to hegemonic narratives about gender. Chapters in the second part focus on sexual identity among Latine/x LGBTIQ+ people and their families and communities. Contributions in this part present discussions about sexual orientation (grouped in LG/LGB identities), sex and gender dissidence, and the inclusion of intersex. LGBTQ+ Affirmative Psychological Interventions: A Latine/x Perspective will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners in different fields of psychology – such as clinical, counselling, social, and community psychology – interested in a multicultural perspective to understand and develop LGBTQ+ affirmative actions to fight against the repathologization of individuals, groups, families and diverse communities.

Today, advances in the area of immunology and breast cancer are made at an increasing rate, yielding an amount of information that can become unwieldy. The opportunity for scientists in this area of research to gather together to exchange results and working hypotheses represents, in my belief, a very attractive proposition. With this in mind, these workshops have been convened with two year intervals for the last ten years. In each of them, selected topics have been highlighted. The present workshop underscores the large advancements made in the molecular biology of both breast cancer associated antigens and their corresponding antibodies. Understanding the genetic information for the expression of these antigens has been recently advanced leading to preparation of molecularly engineered reagents for use in vaccination, serum assays, and immunizations for novel antibody production. In the anti-breast cancer antibody field the availability of molecular engineering approaches to humanize murine antibodies has induced intense interest in the creation of less immunogenic antibody forms that are now available for clinical testing. Clinical studies using anti-breast murine antibody continue to be carried out and are presented at this meeting establishing a base line for safety and efficaciousness in imaging and immunotherapy that it is hoped will be superseded by the humanized forms. Basic immunology and immunochemistry studies in breast cancer are also included in this workshop that demonstrate the fast pace at which this research is advancing in many laboratories worldwide.

Black LGBT Health in the United States: The Intersection of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation focuses on the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of health, and considers both risk and resiliency factors for the Black LGBT population. Contributors to this collection intimately understand the associations between health and intersectional anti-Black racism, heterosexism, homonegativity, biphobia, transphobia, and social class. This collection fills a gap in current scholarship by providing information about an array of health issues like cancer, juvenile incarceration, and depression that affect all subpopulations of Black LGBT people, especially Black bisexual-identified women, Black bisexual-identified men, and Black transgender men. This book is recommended for readers interested in psychology, health, gender studies, race studies, social work, and sociology.

This book describes practical changes that universities and colleges can undertake to support LGBTQ+ students and create more affirming and inclusive campus climates. Integrating examples of structural and administrative changes guided by a minority stress model, the book addresses an array of LGBTQ+ student populations including transgender students, students with disabilities, student athletes, international students, and first-generation college students. The authors also cover issues unique to community colleges, religious institutions, and historically Black colleges and universities.

Cuando Doug Crowley, retrasado en su camino al trabajo, aborda un autobus de la ciudad de Denver, piensa que su unico problema es el tiempo. Crimenes cometidos anos atras han desaparecido de su memoria, la culpa olvidada. Solo cuando se cierran las puertas del autobus y una mujer aterrorizada cuenta sus propios pecados, es que Crowley recuerda las atrocidades sangrientas que el infligio a inocentes hace mucho tiempo en la guerra. Para ese momento es demasiado tarde tanto para Crowley como para todos los demas abordo del autobus en movimiento. Es hora de pagar. El conductor anuncia la siguiente parada, y el horror comienza.

El libro muestra un estudio de la empresa socialista cubana, demostrando que el Estado no aplico el modelo adecuado que propiciara ser eficiente y pivote fundamental para el desarrollo del pais. Como base de referencia para el analisis se utiliza lo escrito en la obra "The Practice of Management" del autor Peter Drucker. Se presentan los principales errores del sistema empresarial, estructurales y funcionales, que han provocado el empobrecimiento de Cuba asi como la influencia del desempeno de los dirigentes empresariales. Presenta, ademas, las malas practicas en los principales sectores economicos que son las verdaderas causas del mal estado de la economia de la nacion, desmitificando la propaganda de las autoridades que los achacan al "bloqueo imperialista."
