Save the Children

REA Catalogado

Average rating: 

4

Promedio: 4 (1 reseña)

Save the Children is working flat-out to right the fundamental wrongs that affect children. Too many children are still dying because they do not have enough food or because they can't get treatment for simple illnesses. Millions aren't getting an education and are being exploited and abused. This is not good enough.
We're changing this, partly by working directly with children, and partly by using our experience and influence to persuade governments and others who are responsible for children to do the right thing by them.

Una apuesta por el equilibrio : problemas medioambientales de Japón en la obra de Hayao Miyazaki

REA Auditado

El medioambiente ha ganado en las últimas décadas más atención por parte las organizaciones internacionales y de los gobiernos. El abuso o mal uso de los recursos del planeta lo están poniendo en peligro. El aire y el agua se agotan, los bosques se reducen y muchas especies animales se están extinguiendo por la caza, la pesca y la destrucción de hábitat naturales. Además de organismos oficiales, la población también está preocupada y son muchos los que levantan la voz y aportan su grano de arena para luchar contra el cambio climático y los problemas medioambientales.

An analysis of the differences between national and local coverage determinations of medical procedures in the US

REA Auditado

Medicare coverage policies of medical procedures can be promulgated at a national level by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as National Coverage Determinations (NCDs) or at a local level by Medicare contractors as Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs). Although LCDs shouldn't contradict NCDs, they can differ. In the present study, I analyze some factors that could partially account for the differences between NCDs and LCDs.

Forced Labor: The World Debate

REA Catalogado

Average rating:

Promedio: 3 (1 reseña)

Jean-Robert Câdet lost his childhood, when at the age of four, he became a slave to a rich Port-au-Prince family. After years of washing floors, fetching water, and sleeping under the kitchen table, he found freedom when his owners moved to the U.S., and kicked him out. Câdet, who says the “biggest part was the emotional detachment,” wonders today why the U.S., Haiti’s biggest foreign donor, doesn’t “link foreign aid to the elimination of slavery.”

Efectos de la cocaína y del tolueno sobre la neurogénesis en el hipocampo de rata

REA Auditado

En el presente proyecto se estudió el efecto de dos drogas adictivas, el tolueno
y la cocaína, sobre la neurogénesis hipocámpica. Los experimentos diseñados
para ambas drogas, abordaron el estudio de la neurogénesis, a través de la
medida de proliferación, supervivencia, diferenciación y migración. Además se
analizó el efecto ultraestructural que ambas drogas causan sobre el giro
dentado. De forma más exhaustiva, se estudió el efecto producido por una
administración crónica del tolueno, durante el desarrollo del animal.

This question has gained critical importance for telecom regulators as the unregulated Internet technologies such as voice and video over Internet disrupt the regulated traditional technologies such as telephony and television and the historical paradigm of the regulator. The existing U.S. telecommunications regulations were created in the integral age.
