Con el fin de explorar la literatura de impacto, el estudio se condujo en la base de datos Scopus (2022-2024). Metodología: se realizó un estudio mixto de revisión en dos fases con estructura embebida (Cuan-cual), la primera con diseño bibliométrico y la segunda con enfoque hermenéutico. Se analizaron un total de 822 estudios en la primera fase y 23 en la segunda. Resultados: los hallazgos confirman el crecimiento del campo, así como el incremento de su relevancia, y a la vez permitieron elaborar los ejes de tensión que dan forma a la intersección entre sostenibilidad y economía verde. Conclusiones: se presenta una síntesis de los desafíos y potencialidades, así como se ofrecen ideas para entender el estado de la economía verde como campo y la realización de estudios futuros. ABSTRACT - Introduction/Objective: In today’s context, the green economy has emerged as a pivotal multidisciplinary field of study and research. This study aims to delve deeply into its bibliometric trends, primary research themes, and critical challenges within the framework of sustainable development. The objective was to explore influential literature, conducted through analysis of the Scopus database spanning from 2022 to 2024. Methodology: This study employed a two-phase mixed-method review with an embedded design (quan-qual). The first phase utilized bibliometric analysis, while the second phase adopted a hermeneutic approach. A total of 822 studies were analyzed in the initial phase, followed by an in-depth examination of 23 studies in the second phase. Results: The findings underscore the burgeoning growth and increasing relevance of the green economy. Moreover, they outline the key thematic tensions that define the intersection between sustainability and the principles of the green economy. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive synthesis of the challenges and potentials inherent in the green economy as a field of study. It also offers insights into future research directions to further elucidate its current state and trajectory.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo develar el gesto de reescritura como ejercicio de traducción de signos, que se presenta como uno de los territorios de la escritura radicante en las obras El libro de Tamar, de Tamara Kamenszain, y Tratado de arqueología peruana, de Roberto Zariquiey. Para ello, se decidió encauzar la investigación a través de un estudio literario comparado del corpus, lo que se logra con base en la definición que ofrece Nicolás Bourriaud sobre el arte contemporáneo en su libro Radicante (2009). En ambos textos, se identifica una incursión en esa “modernidad traductora” que el propio Bourriaud plantea, ya que los actos de apropiación desarrollados constituyen traducción de voces pretéritas; estas ayudan a despejar los signos de pasajes anteriores que se encuentran contenidos en archivos herméticos, con la finalidad de construir presente a partir de ellos. The purpose of this article is to unveil the gesture of rewriting as an exercise of sign translation, which is presented as one of the territories of radicant writing in the works El libro de Tamar by Tamara Kamenszain and Tratado de arqueología peruana by Roberto Zariquiey. For this purpose, it has been decided to guide the research through a compa-rative literary study of the corpus, which is achieved based on the definition offered by Nicolas Bourriaud on contemporary art in his book The Radicant (2009). In these works we identify an incursion into that “translation-oriented modernity” that Bourriaud him-self proposes, since the acts of appropriation that are developed constitute a translation of past voices, which help to clear the signs of previous passages that are contained in hermetic archives, in order to build the present from them.

The main objective of this study was to analyze democracy legitimacy in a non-WEIRD country from a political psychology perspective. More specifically, two dimensions of democracy legitimacy were empirically isolated: diffuse and specific support. We tested a system justification model of democracy legitimacy, while also assessing the role of sociodemographic and context evaluation variables. We applied a questionnaire with closed-ended response choices to a non-probabilistic quota sample of adults from Cordoba, Argentina (n = 450). Besides descriptively analyzing democracy legitimacy, two hierarchical multiple regression analyzes were performed, one for each criterion variable. The results evidenced that diffuse support for democracy remains relatively high, while specific support for Argentine political system is markedly low. Different variables explained each dimension of political legitimacy: those regarding ideological system justification—right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and political conservatism—explained an important amount of the variance of diffuse support but had only a marginal role in explaining specific support. The latter was better predicted by context evaluation variables, suggesting that system performance is more relevant than ideology when it comes to specific support. Thus, although democracy legitimacy could be based on a relatively developed civic culture, a poor system performance is not innocuous. The authors discuss how the theoretical explanations developed and framed in Western democracies may be not adequate to comprehend Latin American political culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The proposal rehearses an analysis from the category of parrhesia developed by Foucault in terms of the acts of political denunciation that occurred in conflicts over the government of land in Latin America. It is a bet that, assuming the distances of time and context, attempts a temporal retreat of the notion, focusing on the danger assumed by those who speak frankly in the midst of disputes that confront a governmentality of extractivist type with ways of life whose relationship with the land supports a different truth. In effect, parrhesia elaborates a contract of meaning between the right to speak and participation in a political conjuncture; between discourse and a community that harbors the dangerous exercise of freedom.

Latin American marxism, understood as a category, phenomena and process hasn’t been studied broadly, despite how fruitful the Marxist tradition has been in our region. It is proposed in the next pages a series of theoretical-methodological approaches and coordinates to push out into its analysis, respecting the analytical plurality and heterogeneity that characterizes it, describing its enunciation origins and development and outlining the essential ingredients that separate it from other approaches giving its specificity within Latin American critical social thought. The purpose of the article is to provide the researcher a basic framework to dive into deeper inquiries that concern the different topics circumscribed to the marxisms in Latin America.

Objectives: Describe the characteristics of the different cardiology medical residencies in Latin America. Method: Cross-sectional study that aims to evaluate the characteristics of cardiology residencies in Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, through self-administered electronic surveys. Results: Three hundred seven residents of 147 residences were surveyed. Mean age was 31 years and 63% were male. Ninety eight percent carry out their training in the capital city. The average total training time is 4.8 years. Forty four percent complete their residency in internal medicine prior to starting cardiology, and 10% have no prior training. In cardiology training is 3 years in most countries. Fifty four percent present academic activities every day and 16% only once or less, consisting of theoretical classes (93%), clinical cases (85%), bibliographic workshops (69%), and writing scientific papers (68%). Supervision is carried out by the chief resident (45%), resident coordinator (44%), resident instructor (27%) or the department head (54%), while 2.6% do not present supervision. The main rotations were echocardiography (99%), hemodynamics (96%), coronary unit (93%), and electrophysiology (92%). Residents highlighted the need to improve academic activities (23%) and scientific production (12%). Conclusions: There are important differences in the academic and practical training between the residences of the different countries of America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Latin America is facing a socio-political and economic context of great violence and crisis of care, reproduction of life, bonds and social fabric, with women being one of the most vulnerable groups. Therefore, it is necessary for social psychology, as a discipline permeated by neoliberalism and patriarchy, to turn its gaze and pay more attention, on the one hand, to the complex problems caused by political violence in our region and, on the other, to be critically examined to implement substantial transformations to its own research, academic education and social action or university extension processes. This article addresses some of the disciplinary challenges and responsibilities in a very complex regional context that requires a concrete and situated Latin American experience, and at the same time, a decolonial and intersectional feminist place of enunciation, that represents an area of resistance to continue building a critical, emancipatory and liberating, inclusive, feminist, diverse, intersectional and decolonial social psychology. Furthermore, it is necessary to forge a discipline that acts from epistemic disobedience and that can recognize other epistemological, theoretical, methodological, practical and interpretative frameworks of history and scientific knowledge that are enriched by the methods and practices of feminisms. Therefore, it is necessary to collaborate in making visible the contributions mainly of Costa Rican, Mesoamerican and Latin American women authors that confirm the political and socially transforming character of feminist research processes. However, to achieve this, it is essential to recognize that this is a disciplinary responsibility that concerns all professionals and not only women. Thus, the bibliographical review provides us with insights to continue working on a transforming, intersectional and encouragingly feminist social psychology, sensitive to regional contexts and from a psychosocial and decolonial praxis. Objective: This text seeks to contribute to the understanding and transformation of the disciplinary practice through a praxis that is critical towards a social approach, from feminist decolonial perspectives that are self-critical of the neoliberal patriarchal forms of reproduction of violence in the region and inside the activity of the discipline. Method: This article was developed through an online bibliographic search and review in scientific research portals, in journals such as Reflexiones and WimbLu of the University of Costa Rica (UCR), Revista Costarricense de Psicología, Revista de Pensamiento e Investigación Social, Revista Psicología Política, Revista Psicoperspectivas, Individuo y Sociedad of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso and Revista Interamericana de Psicología. In addition, books from the repositories of the libraries of the National University (UNA) and the University of Costa Rica (UCR) were reviewed. Likewise, libraries of nongovernmental human rights and feminist organizations in the Mesoamerican region –which have developed interesting theoretical and methodological proposals and models of intervention and accompaniment applied to Latin America– were consulted, such as Aluna Acompañamiento Psicosocial of Mexico and the Community Studies and Psychosocial Action Team (ECAP) of Guatemala. From this review, texts mainly by Latin American authors were identified and selected with emphasis on the period from 2007 to 2022 as a means of covering the trends of the last 15 years in the fields of social psychology and intersectional feminisms, a period in which multiple forms of violence, chiefly against women, have increased and intensified, posing important challenges to the discipline of psychology in facing a very complex regional context that requires a concrete and situated experience at the Latin American level. Thus, this text is proposed as a critical bibliographic research based on theoretical elements of intersectional and decolonial feminisms and their contributions to the work of Latin American social psychology and its current trends. In addition to presenting a critical approach, it is intended as a reflective and self-reflective document; in other words, it is theoretical research, but also situated within a personal professional practice and a concrete experience that requires constant introspection in order to identify elements of the endeavor that could reproduce or are reproducing patriarchal and violent practices. Results: Few theoretical-practical investigations were found on structural violence in the region, and even fewer feminist investigations on the experiences of Latin American women and from the approaches of social psychology. The ones that were discovered were developed only by women, and do not include a critical perspective on patriarchal practices within our professional praxis. Conclusions: We find ourselves in a complex and violent socio-political and economic context in Latin America, which renders the care and reproduction of life, bonds and the social fabric vulnerable, with women being one of the most affected groups. Therefore, it is urgent that social psychology contributes to the transformation of this context, but at the same time, it needs to look internally to transform the multiple ways of reproducing neoliberalism and patriarchy within its disciplinary work. To do so, it requires support from decolonial and intersectional feminisms in order to promote, empower, motivate and recognize the wisdom of the peoples of Abya Yala and of Abya Yala herself, and the scientific and epistemological production of feminist women as a group that is also in resistance. The theoretical and methodological contributions addressed in this paper provide situated perspectives, from ethically and politically clear places of enunciation, epistemologically disobedient and committed to in-discipline. They also provide theoretical and methodological tools that collaborate in the reconstruction of the social fabric on which the dominant socio-political, neoliberal and patriarchal violence is produced and reproduced, but at the same time, where life and bonds, resistances and connections between women are reproduced. These contributions inspire creative, inclusive and critical practices that can strengthen new paths, but mainly provide insights to continue working in a transformative, intersectional and encouragingly feminist social psychology, sensitive to regional contexts and from the praxis of a decolonial psychosocial approach.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological behavior of dengue and its serotypes in Mexico and Latin America. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive analysis was conducted using data from the Information Platform for Health of the Americas (PLISA) and national and international epidemiological bulletins from January 2019 to January 2024. Confirmed, severe and non-severe cases, cases with and without warning signs, fatal cases, simultaneous circulation, serotypes, and mortality rates were identified. RESULTS: A total of 13,967,156 dengue cases were registered in Latin America during the study period. Of these, 42% were laboratory-confirmed. There were 7,600,985 non-severe cases, 47,700 severe cases, and 6278 fatal cases. The countries with the highest number of severe cases were Brazil, Honduras, Colombia, and Mexico. The most frequent serotypes were 1 and 2. An increase in the simultaneous circulation of the four serotypes was observed, as well as an increase in serotype 3 in Mexico. CONCLUSIONS: In Latin America, the number of dengue cases increased, but not the severity, mortality or lethality. The simultaneous circulation of multiple serotypes poses a challenge for prevention and control efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cultural formation of the Latin American continent amplifies, in all degrees and variants, the presence of voices, oral traditions and nature, whether combined with countless written series and genres or not. It is important to unfold the three levels of language in their interactions, constitutive of the cultural processes of Latin America and the Caribbean, which draw from the Ibero-Amerindian and Afro-Arabic crucibles. It is the interweaving of that layers that underpins a multiple Baroque style from the start. The Baroque presence in the continent cannot be understood without the intercultural turn in which oral traditions are nuanced, amidst the superabundance of mestizaje, with their acoustic series. From this conglomerate of marginal variants emerges what we have called a self-moving palimpsest archipelago, where the casual forms of the excessive peripheries do not fit within the linear and causal logical-interpretive schemes of Western tradition and reason, since, among other procedures, they radicalize the figures of metonymic proliferation and oxymoron.

Shadow education is a widely used metaphor for private supplementary tutoring, i.e. instruction in academic subjects on a fee-charging basis outside school hours. The metaphor is used because much tutoring mimics schooling. Thus, as the curriculum changes in the schools, so it changes in the shadows; and as schooling grows, so does the shadow. Initially with particular prominence in East Asia, albeit with deep roots elsewhere, shadow education has expanded worldwide. The phenomenon has been mapped in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America, but has received modest attention in Latin America. This article provides an overview of the phenomenon in the region using available data and stressing the need for further research. It presents global as well as Latin American contextual factors and drivers of demand before turning to data on the scale, nature and suppliers of shadow education. The assembled picture then permits commentary on educational and social impact, and on policy implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The First Latin American Communication Congress CIESPAL FELAFACS, held last year, brought together more than 500 participants, including prominent academics. 75 presentations were addressed on various topics related to contemporary communication and its challenges towards 2030. The thematic axes included communication and human rights, contemporary communication practices, epistemology of communication from the south, among others. The Quito Declaration, arising from the congress, presents a work agenda until 2030. This edition delves into these topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A documentary review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers related to the study of the variable Artificial Intelligence and Radiology. The purpose of the bibliometric analysis proposed in this paper was to know the main characteristics of the volume of publications registered in Scopus database during the period 2017-2022 by Latin American institutions, achieving the identification of 48 publications. The information provided by said platform was organized by means of graphs and figures categorizing the information by Year of Publication, Country of Origin, Area of Knowledge and Type of Publication. Once these characteristics were described, a qualitative analysis was carried out in order to refer to the position of different authors in relation to the proposed topic. Among the main findings, it is found that Brazil, with 32 publications, was the Latin American country with the highest scientific production registered in the name of authors affiliated to institutions of that nation. The Area of Knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material referring to the study was Medicine with 32 published documents, and the most used type of publication during the above-mentioned period was Conference Articles with 48% of the total scientific production.

How do people make decisions on where, when, and how to commute? And how did the pandemic crisis affect their commuting patterns? Based on exploratory interviews in Lima and family chronicles collected in Bogotá during 2020; and a second round of interviews in six low-income areas in the peripheries of these two cities during 2021, this article offers a panoramic view of the changes experienced in low-income neighbourhoods and their families during these recent years of pandemic. These changes bring to light the role of intra-household arrangements regarding mobility and accessibility. We suggest that mobility and accessibility can better be understood on a more systemic level (influenced by intra-household arrangements), as a collective phenomenon (based on the household’s resources and the household’s needs), and even as a collective decision-making process.

The ability to overcome geographical distance is necessary to participate in social inclusion activities, such as employment. This paper seeks to describe the accessibility of job opportunities outside Uruguay’s capital city metropolitan area. This analysis entails empirically assessing intercity accessibility because workers in small cities frequently have to commute outside their cities of residence. This research reveals different regional accessibility profiles and allows us to identify vulnerable regions based on lack of accessibility to job opportunities. For the most vulnerable regions, travel by public transport would afford access to a number of job opportunities that, after considering the number of job seekers, would provide a level of employment well below the national rate. The findings suggest that policies to improve accessibility should not be homogeneous and must consider regional disparities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To investigate the main challenges in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 health emergency according to the scientific evidence available to date in this area in Chile. Materials and methods. Scoping review based on three searches in Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar of publications in English and Spanish published between 2020 and 2023. Results. Three key areas were identified: the challenges of access and effective use of the health system, the challenges beyond the health system, including those related to social determinants of health, self-care and information, and finally, the challenges of integrating intercultural, gender and international cooperation approaches. Conclusions. There are opportunities to better address the health of international migrants in Chile in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, anticipating future health crises and to reduce gaps and inequities that impact population health.

With a theoretical approach to tax incentives, direct taxes and their incidence on cooperatives, it was sought to identify the current Latin American legal systems for Income Tax. Especially, the norms that include the legal figures for the release of the tax are analyzed, verifying its scope, requirements and procedures for its application. It is based on the fact that the granting of incentives is based on the principle of tax equity and on the recognition of the countries about the benefits that they contribute to social and economic development. Therefore, the research is based on theoretical guidelines on incentives and equity for cooperatives. It is recognized that the region is heterogeneous but that it shares legal similarities, which makes it possible to contrast its regulations. For this reason, the comparative method was considered suitable. With this, the particularities of the normative systems of seventeen nations were understood, through the confrontation of their tax precepts, allowing the identification of their convergences and divergences. The results show that most of the countries integrate exemptions in the various legal devices and, to a lesser extent, countries that tax cooperatives with reduced rates or tariffs were distinguished.

Specialized international organizations discuss museology on an ongoing basis. These institutions usually develop various recommendations that, despite not binding, are considered soft law norms since they influence the generation or modification of the internal law of the countries. However, the influence of these soft law norms will depend on how permeable the legal-administrative systems are. For this reason, this paper proposes to analyze the permeability of the countries of Latin America and The Caribean to global trends regarding museums based on the evaluation of four variables that reconstruct the degree of implementation of the recommendations issued by specialized international organizations. A traffic light methodology is adopted with a three-level assessment scale that describes the status of each country. The results show that the region’s countries present very different situations regarding the situation of their museums in the national system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Concepts of ‘cyberspace’, ‘cybersecurity’ and ‘cyberthreats’ and an analysis of policy documents are employed to explore the character and evolution of cybersecurity policies in Mexico, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, chosen as examples of ‘accelerated’, ‘transitional’ and ‘lagging’ Latin American development. Mexico focused on the stability of the Internet as a space that contributes to faster economic growth. Columbia’s ‘risk management’ path seeks a balance between plausible threat evaluation and the estimated cost of eliminating them and concentrates on the active prevention of cyberattacks, emphasising the importance of developing concrete mechanisms for international regulation in the field of cybersecurity. The approach to cybersecurity of the Dominican Republic is based on the idea of ensuring a rapid transition to an innovative development model with the widespread introduction of information and communication technology (ICT), while addressing domestic cybercrime to which ordinary citizens and businesses are constantly exposed to. Comparing these experiences, it is clear that these approaches are characterised by two trends: randomness and non-imitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this work is to observe and analyze the way in which in the mid-20th century a part of Latin American Catholic religiosity was represented in the comics format. Through the indentification, Reading and analysis of the issues of the comic strips Vidas Ejemplares y Patronos y Santuarios, carried out jointly by the Buena Prensa publishing houses and the Editores-Impresores Novaro workshops around various personalities --religious and secular--, to virgins and holy places of Latin America, we want to explain the reasons for the production of a Project with these religious characteristics and that was distributed in several Latin American countries. In this sense, we want to show that more tan meaning a comercial bet behind the product, which undoubtedly existed, there was also an ideological reason for the reaffirmation of Latin catholicity between members of the Society of Jesus in Mexico and the director of the publishing house most successful in the production of comics or historietas in Latin America: the Editores-Impresores Novaro workshops.

The new paradigm in Forensic Sciences initiated by the entry of genetics (the current standard of legal evidence) and accentuated by recognized wrongful convictions derived from experts today in the eye of criticism, has highlighted the potential for bias and error in forensic disciplines when they depend on human interpretation and subjectivity, which has not been avoided by Forensic Odontology (FO). However, a subjective judgment is not necessarily wrong, so the refinement of processes, the development of standards, and robust research can contribute to the validity of interpretation to increase objectivity. Latin America (LATAM) has its own realities and needs, which have conditioned the priorities and objectives of FO research. A scoping review is presented to systematically map the investigation of LATAM researchers and identify the objective or subjective nature of their assessments. LATAM shows interesting productivity and intentions to adhere to international standards, with Brazil leading this research significantly, followed by Chile and Colombia, among others. However, there is a disproportionate approach in certain lines of research (dental age estimation), and needs to address other quantitative studies, and to improve the visibility of the LATAM FO research.

The intergenerational transmission of textile practices among women are considered a strong reclaiming statement. Currently, textiles practices have been recognized as social struggle manifestations that favor the development of a human rights culture, allowing the expression of communities 'without a voice'. This article examines the emergence of textile artivism linked to recent socio-political conflicts in Latin America, emphasizing the role of women as promoters of these projects. Mil agujas por la Dignidad, a platform and textile community emerged in 2019 as a response to human rights violations in Chile, has been analyzed to understand how digital technologies favour the dissemination of textile calls, and the connection between women through feminist meetings. This research proposes that textile practices are a form of resistance art, activated simultaneously in various spaces due to their political nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
