Migrañas: Un nuevo tratamiento para un antiguo azote?
by Dr. Peter Hermes
Migrañas: Un nuevo tratamiento para un antiguo azote ?Cómo un pequeño orificio en el corazón puede ser la causa del devastador síndrome de la migraña? Por el Dr. Peter Hermes Las migrañas afectan a un 15 % de toda la población del mundo "civilizado". Alrededor de un 50% de los casos jamás se diagnostican correctamente, mientras que apenas la mitad de los pacientes que sí lo son reciben un tratamiento apropiado. Por lo tanto, más o menos un 75% de quienes sufren de migraña llevan una vida infeliz, cautivos de jaquecas que machacan la cabeza, pasan gran parte de su tiempo en habitaciones oscuras, aislados del ruido y de la gente, vomitando y probando el último "remedio milagroso" en venta en el mercado. ?Cómo un pequeño orificio en el corazón (AOP) puede causar tanta desdicha? El autor nos lleva a lo largo del proceso de descubrimiento del AOP, su diagnóstico moderno, su relación con diversos tipos de cefaleas y su gran nivel de incidencia (40% a 50% de quienes sufren de migraña tienen un AOP). Una parte bastante extensa del libro está dedicada a los nuevos dispositivos que pueden cerrar este "agujero" en el corazón con sólo una noche de hospitalización, mediante un procedimiento bajo anestesia local, !en menos de una hora! Siga leyendo para encontrar la respuesta a este enigma médico que atormenta al mundo civilizado desde tiempos antiguos… El doctor Peter Hermes, graduado de la Facultad de Medicina de la Sorbona, es un neurólogo especialista asociado con centros médicos de primera línea y clínicas especializadas en cefaleas en su país natal, Francia, así como en Italia, Estados Unidos e Israel. Junto con sus colegas italianos, los doctores Anzola, Onorato y Santoro, enfoca su atención en la relación entre el AOP (el "agujero en el corazón") y las migrañas. El autor, incansable viajero, ha atendido a enfermos y a pobres en la India, a los ricos y famosos en Park Avenue, Nueva York, a los beduinos de Uadi Naamán en Israel y a pacientes con migraña en Tel Aviv. Divide su tiempo entre sus pacientes en Israel e Italia, donde también dirige un festival de música de gran éxito.

Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick
by Luis Miguel Estrada
In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

Fiction
Andreaa Constantin
by Esteban Torres Lana
A dangerous challenge at sea through a rock arch battered by strong waves. She ends up seriously injured in a leg when her friend Aurelio arrives at the cove. Overcoming her pain, she hides her injuries from Aurelio and tells him the extraordinary story of her mother, which propelled her to undertake such a madness. The story begins 6 years ago in Tenerife, with Nayra's expulsion from Philosophy class for the third time in a week, causing Pablo, her father, to pick her up from school and embark on a long day of disputes, confessions, and finally, complicities between them. Walking around Santa Cruz, canceling classes and professional commitments, Pablo and Nayra spend the day discovering a personal and sentimental reality that surprises them. The problems Nayra mentions with a group of immigrant classmates, along with the aggression Nayra shows towards her mother, Lola, prompt Pablo to tell her the unfinished story with Andreea, a high-class Romanian prostitute. Pablo cannot control the level of intimacy of the tale despite his own amazement, hearing himself say things he thought were unspeakable. Nayra responds, between disputes and affection, interspersing her own confidences, some of them having a strong impact, like the adventure with an immigrant who arrived on the beaches of Fuerteventura during a summer excursion. Neither tells the most intimate details of their stories truthfully, but they are accessible to the reader. Despite frequent arguments due to the teenager's incisive and groundbreaking language, their complicity grows and they end up spending the day together, walking through different places in the city. The story with Andreea takes on dramatic tones that completely captivate the young woman. Two suicides, the chase by Romanian mafia, returning to her hometown, searching for Pablo, Andreea’s struggle to regain her dignity and her artistic capacity through painting, and the apparent disappearance of her father's life, capture Nayra’s attention. Despite the narrative tricks used by Pablo, when night falls and they reach home, Nayra connects the dots and is surprised to discover that her perfectionist and successful mother, a recognized painter from Santa Cruz, with whom she has had a very conflictive season, is Andreea Constantin, the Romanian immigrant her father met as a high-class prostitute. After an initial reaction of rejection due to the ignorance in which she was kept, she understands her mother's situation. All the questions she always had about many details of her life arise with the discovery. A few years after discovering her identity, Andreea disappears from home. A call from Romania alerts them to the discovery of two charred bodies near her birthplace and the presence of her old exploiter nearby, who cursed her for life through a Transylvania ritual when she abandoned prostitution. Knowing she was discovered in Tenerife, Andreea tried to keep her family away from danger and returned to her country, where she was easy prey for the mafia. Pablo and his daughter Nayra fly to Bucharest to identify Andreea’s body, which may have been brutally murdered and burned. When it seems the identification will be negative, a small detail of the clothing makes them doubt. Desolate, they receive medical and psychological support from the Romanian team, but it turns out to be a false lead. Andreea is rescued from a hideout and has survived due to a misunderstanding by her captors. Protected by the Romanian police, she later becomes a key witness whose testimony ends the dangerous band of her pimp. But that bravery comes at a price; 2 years later, she does not return from an art exhibition in Paris. The police believe that her exploiter’s curse was fulfilled by a nephew who visited him in prison shortly before his death and was seen in Paris during the days Andreea had the exhibition. After a year of anguish, Nayra can no longer bear the situation and decides to mourn her mother at the cove where she painted her last picture. It had as its background the rock arch symbolizing the risk of living and facing life’s challenges. Nayra considers her mother lost and throws Andreea’s ashes into the sea, symbolized by those of a magnolia branch she planted many years ago. With this, she internalizes the loss and the fighting values Andreea taught her. The exit from the volcanic cove is a song to the life that continues and to the young woman who represents it. The novel is dedicated to the memory of Andreea Constantin and the thousands of women sexually exploited around the world.

The Animal Mirror
by Zakarías Zafra
Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.

The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

Literary FictionOctober 1990In State of Remembering
by Tununa Mercado
Due to the military dictatorship in Argentina, Tununa Mercado lived in Mexico for almost 13 years, from 1974 to 1987. Her experience, codified as a novel that breaks the frontiers between genres, depicts the exile as an intimate situation that unravels complex and devastating emotions, where the narrative voice resists oblivion, the body fights for a place in the world and the narrator’s gaze elaborates a myriad of details in order to place itself in reality. To read this book is to illuminate the darkest faces of uprooting, poverty and violence that millions of migrants suffer each year and that have become new forms of dictatorship.

FictionJune 2020Drawings of Hiroshima
by Marcelo Simonetti
“The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.

O príncipe eletrônico
Mídia, política e sociedade
by Nauroski, Everson Araújo
O príncipe eletrônico: mídia, política e sociedade No limiar do século XXI, as novas tecnologias de mídia e informação promovem a intercomunicação de pessoas e instituições em escala global, abrindo novas possibilidades, tanto de interação entre pessoas, grupos e organizações, como de controle e influência dos mesmos. Na relação entre economia e tecnologia, os mercados globais assumem novas proporções, penetram os espaços sociais afetando comportamentos. Nesse contexto, o viés econômico-competitivo na globalização, na busca por novos mercados e mão de obra, tem provocado a homogeneização de diferentes culturas, afetado identidades, valores, crenças e costumes, o que foi apontado por Ianni (1997) como uma ocidentalização forçada em todo o mundo sob o signo do capitalismo. The electronic prince: media, politics and society At the threshold of the 21st century, new media and information technologies promote the intercommunication of people and institutions on a global scale, opening up new possibilities, both for interaction between people, groups and organizations, as well as for their control and influence. In the relationship between economy and technology, global markets take on new proportions, penetrate social spaces and affect behavior. In this context, the economic-competitive bias in globalization, in the search for new markets and labor, has caused the homogenization of different cultures, affecting identities, values, beliefs and customs, which was pointed out by Ianni (1997) as a Westernization forced around the world under the sign of capitalism.
