Doprava je klíčovým prvkem, který umožňuje plnění několika cílů udržitelného rozvoje. Výrazně přispívá k cílům udržitelného rozvoje v oblasti hospodářského rozvoje, průmyslu a malých a středních ...podniků a také obchodu a investic. Proto také pomáhá plnit cíle udržitelného rozvoje, které se zaměřují na podporu zaměstnanosti a životních podmínek a zmírňování nerovností a vyloučení. Doprava však přináší v oblasti cílů udržitelného rozvoje také řadu výzev, jako je potřeba snížit dopady na klima a životní prostředí, zlepšit dopravní systémy a bezpečnost silničního provozu a řešit obavy týkající se pracovních míst a důstojné práce. Cílem příspěvku je poskytnout obsahovou analýzu aspektů trvale udržitelného rozvoje ve vztahu k dopravě a to v souvislosti s naplňováním vybraných cílů Agendy 2030. Prezentovaný příspěvek je součástí řešení projektu VEGA č.1/0302/18 “Inteligentní města jako možnost implementace konceptu udržitelného rozvoje měst ve Slovenské republice”
Internationally renowned essayist and cultural commentator Ilan Stavans spent five years traveling from across a dozen countries in Latin America, in search of what defines the Jewish communities in ...the region, whose roots date back to Christopher Columbus's arrival. In the tradition of V.S. Naipaul's explorations of India, the Caribbean, and the Arab World, he came back with an extraordinarily vivid travelogue. Stavans talks to families of thedesaparecidos in Buenos Aires, to "Indian Jews," and to people affiliated with neo-Nazi groups in Patagonia. He also visits Spain to understand the long-term effects of the Inquisition, the American Southwest habitat of "secret Jews," and Israel, where immigrants from Latin America have reshaped the Jewish state. Along the way, he looks for the proverbial "seventh heaven," which, according to the Talmud, out of proximity with the divine, the meaning of life in general, and Jewish life in particular, becomes clearer.The Seventh Heaven is a masterful work in Stavans's ongoing quest to find a convergence between the personal and the historical.
Odpovědná spotřeba je zahrnuta v jednom z Cílů udržitelného rozvoje (SDG 12), a tento cíl hraje důležitou roli i v rovině vzdělávací: UNESCO pro jeho naplnění stanovilo sadu vzdělávacích cílů pro ...různé úrovně vzdělávání. Je jimi soubor klíčových kompetencí pro SDG12, a jak je patrné z jejich analýzy, jsou tyto vzdělávací cíle rozloženy víceméně rovnoměrně mezi kognitivní, emocionální/sociální a behaviorální doménou učení, což je i znakem vzdělávání pro udržitelnost obecně. Vzdělávání vycházející z těchto cílů tak může přinést nejen potřebné znalosti, ale též působit na proměnu zažitých vzorců myšlení a chování, což je pro změnu spotřebitelských zvyklostí a životního stylu obecně důležité. Článek nejen předvádí, jak si vzdělávací cíle tohoto typu stanovit (tak, aby působily na všechny složky osobnosti a byly součástí transformativního učení), ukazuje také, jak konkrétně mohou vypadat ve zde popisovaném programu vzdělávání pro odpovědnou spotřebu navrženém pro různé typy škol. Cílem programu je dovést děti/žáky/studenty k poznání, že jsou aktivní součástí ekonomiky, a mohou prostřednictvím svého každodenního rozhodování formovat podobu ekonomického systému.
Throughout the colonial period the Spanish crown made numerous unsuccessful attempts to conquer Araucanía, Chile’s southern borderlands region. Contested Nation argues that with Chilean independence, ...Araucanía—because of its status as a separate nation-state—became essential to the territorial integrity of the new Chilean Republic. This book studies how Araucanía’s indigenous inhabitants, the Mapuche, played a central role in the new Chilean state’s pursuit of an expansionist policy that simultaneously exalted indigenous bravery while relegating the Mapuche to second-class citizenship. It also examines other subaltern groups, particularly bandits, who challenged the nation-state’s monopoly on force and were thus regarded as criminals and enemies unfit for citizenship in Chilean society.
Pilar M. Herr’s work advances our understanding of early state formation in Chile by viewing this process through the lens of Chilean-Mapuche relations. She provides a thorough historical context and suggests that Araucanía was central to the process of post-independence nation building and territorial expansion in Chile.
Cristina Vignali-De-Poli examine la question du mensonge dans la poétique et l’œuvre de Dario Fo. Le mensonge occupe une place non négligeable dans ses écrits sur son théâtre, et les figures de ...menteurs peuplent son univers dramatique. Le mensonge y est le lieu et l’instrument de la dénonciation socio-politique. L’article examine plus spécifiquement comment le mensonge devient de manière spectaculaire le moteur narratif de Guerra di popolo in Cile (1973), une pièce entièrement fondée sur un mensonge au public. Le dramaturge lui-même a souligné le recours au “mensonge” dans son Manuale minimo dell’attore – ce “manuel” que Fo réalise après une expérience de leçons de théâtre et où il théorise de façon joyeuse sa pratique théâtrale. C’est que son théâtre, politique, se veut un théâtre de déconstruction de la “vérité” du pouvoir, comme il l’affirme dans un chapitre de son Manuale minimo dell’attore, significativement intitulé Il falso, in teatro, è più attendibile. Par ce procédé paradoxal qui consiste à parvenir à la “vérité” par le biais du mensonge, le dramaturge entend faire un théâtre de la contre-histoire, de la contre-information et de la contre-culture, capable d’impliquer le spectateur, un spectateur qui doit être conscient de son propre rôle et non pas, pour reprendre une image qui est chère à Fo, se contenter de rester vautré dans son fauteuil.
While 20th century architecture learned to control the climate of a building, the architecture of the 21st century needs to learn to cope with the climate of cities. Problems such as urban heat and ...air pollution need to be included in planning and design. The book argues for a new type of "thermal governance" that considers the interdependency of climatic and socio-economic phenomena in contemporary cities.
The year 1879 marked the beginning of one of the longest, bloodiest conflicts of nineteenth-century Latin America. The War of the Pacific pitted Peru and Bolivia against Chile in a struggle initiated ...over a festering border dispute. The conflict saw Chile's and Peru's armored warships vying for control of sea lanes and included one of the first examples of the use of naval torpedoes. On land, large armies using the most modern weapons-breech-loading rifles, Gatling guns, and steel-barreled artillery-clashed in battles that left thousands of men dead on the battlefields. Eventually, the warring parties revamped their respective military establishments, creating much needed, civilian-supported supply, transportation, and medical units. Chile ultimately prevailed. Bolivia lost its seacoast along with valuable nitrate and copper deposits to Chile, and Peru was forced to cede mineral rich Tarapaca and the province of Arica to the victor.
Employing the primary and secondary sources of the countries involved, William F. Sater offers the definitive analysis of the conflict's naval and military campaigns.Andean Tragedynot only places the war in a crucial international context, but also explains why this devastating conflict resulted in a Chilean victory.
The electrochemistry of
l-cysteine (CySH) in neutral aqueous media was investigated using carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE). Comparative experiments were carried out using glassy carbon ...electrodes. At CILE, highly reproducible and well-defined cyclic voltammograms were obtained for
l-cysteine with a peak potential of 0.49
V vs Ag/AgCl, showing that CILE manifests a good electrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of
l-cysteine. A linear dynamic range of 2–210
μM with an experimental detection limit of 2
μM was obtained. The method was successfully applied to the determination of
l-cysteine in a sample of soya milk. Cysteine oxidation at CILE does not result in deactivation of the electrode surface. Mechanistic studies showed that, at CILE, the overall CySH oxidation is controlled by the oxidation of the CyS
− electroactive species.
Chilean soldiers in the twentieth century appear in most historical accounts, if they appear at all, as decontextualized figures or simply as a single man: Augusto Pinochet. In his incisive study The ...Pinochet Generation: The Chilean Military in the Twentieth Century, John R. Bawden provides compelling new insights into the era and posits that Pinochet and his men were responsible for two major transformations in Chile's constitution as well as the political and economic effects that followed. Determined to refocus what he sees as a "decontextualized paucity" of historical information on Chile's armed forces, Bawden offers a new perspective to explain why the military overthrew the government in 1973 as well as why and how Chile slowly transitioned back to a democracy at the end of the 1980s. Standing apart from other views, Bawden insists that the Chilean military's indigenous traditions and customs did more than foreign influences to mold their beliefs and behavior leading up to the 1973 coup of Salvador Allende. Drawing from defense publications, testimonial literature, and archival materials in both the United States and Chile, The Pinochet Generation characterizes the lens through which Chilean officers saw the world, their own actions, and their place in national history. This thorough analysis of the Chilean services' history, education, values, and worldview shows how this military culture shaped Chilean thinking and behavior, shedding light on the distinctive qualities of Chile's armed forces, the military's decision to depose Allende, and the Pinochet dictatorship's resilience, repressiveness, and durability. Bawden's account of Chile's vast and complex military history of the twentieth century will appeal to political scientists, historians, faculty and graduate students interested in Latin America and its armed forces, students of US-Latin American diplomacy, and those interested in issues of human rights.
This work studies the development of bilateral relations in two pairs of states (dyads): Argentina-Brazil and Argentina-Chile. It takes on a moderate constructivist approach that incorporates into ...the analysis of international relations the role of identities, ideas and perceptions as well as of material forces, and understands that the former are affected and changed during interaction. It also uses to securitization theory to explain how issues come or cease to be considered security matters through social constructions.
