The epidemic of lynching that gripped the American South in the decades after the Civil War and the end of slavery has been glossed over and understated in many history books. Activist Ida B. Wells took it upon herself to document this shameful practice and its prevalence throughout the region and, to a lesser extent, the entire country in a series of seminal volumes, including Southern Horrors

Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation: An Action Assembly Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) November 18-20, 2013, Barcelona, Spain ; Auburn University ; Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) ; Digital Curation Centre (DCC) ; Digital Preservation Network (DPN) ; Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) ; University of North Texas ; Virginia Tech ; Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) ; Innovative Interfaces ; Oracle ; Greendata ; Libnova ; Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) ; Open Planets Foundation (OPF) ; Springer ; The Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation (ANADP) II Action Assembly will align digital preservation efforts internationally between communitiesincluding national libraries, academic libraries, public libraries, research centers, archives, corporations, and funding agencies. ANADP II will be a highly participatory event in which stakeholders will engage in facilitated discussions and action sessions to produce a set of concrete outcomes for the extended digital preservation community in three areas: Community Alignment, Resource Alignment, and Capacity Alignment. These specific action outcomes will include an international tools/services registry, a framework for applying OAIS to Distributed Digital Preservation methodologies, a catalogue of education and training opportunities, and quantitative data gathering around digital preservation costs. history ANADP II will build on a strong foundation. The ANADP community first gathered in Estonia in 2011 with delegates from more than 20 nations to explore a series of targeted opportunities to align efforts in digital preservation. The outcome of that first event, the Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation volume, documented some of the most promising areas for future collaborative engagements between national and international digital preservation efforts (the volume is this years winner of the Society of American Archivists Preservation Publication award). Additional work in aligning international digital preservation efforts took place at the ANADP workshops hosted in Singapore (iPRES 2012) and Amsterdam (IDCC 2012). The Action Assembly ANADP II differs in intent and structure from other digital preservation conferences and meetings. Its primary purpose is not to encourage information sharing, but rather to foster and support sustained global networks of influence and action. Alignment in this context is a lightweight mechanism for cooperation. Alignments are formed around small or modular problems that are directly related to the participants own specific needs and interests. ANADP II will be easy to get involved with, participate in, or define new activities within. The ANADP II Action Assembly will consist of four components. Panel Discussions: Attendees will engage actively with panelists in conversations around three broad alignment themes: Community Alignment, Resource Alignment, and Capacity Alignment. Action Sessions: Attendees will participate in action sessions that demonstrate the powerful impact a concentrated alliance can have. There will be two tracks around each alignment theme, and attendees will select the track to/from which they feel they have the most to contribute/learn. Funder Presentations: Attendees will hear from representatives of funding groups that are interested in supporting cross-national digital preservation projects. Patio Perspectives: Attendees will help to identify and develop new alignment projects that those participating in this international event can pursue together. The purpose of ANADP II is to encourage collaboration among existing organizations and demonstrate what can be achieved through these informal alliances. ANADP II will foster a stronger international community of engagement and practice.

"Lynch syndrome (LS) is one of the most common inherited cancer predisposition syndromes and the most important cause of hereditary colorectal and endometrial cancers. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, caused by a pathogenic germline variant in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2), which encode proteins responsible for maintaining genome stability. A defective MMR system confers an elevated risk of developing certain types of cancer, at a younger age than in the general population and at a high rate of multiple primary neoplasia. Lynch syndrome is not just one disease, but a collection of different subtypes of underlying molecular aspects with specific clinical implications. A better understanding of these subgroup profiles could offer better care for each patient, leading to more personalized risk-reduction and surveillance strategies. Lynch syndrome is a frequent but yet underdiagnosed condition that needs multidisciplinary increased awareness for correct diagnosis and management. The aim of this review is to provide a summary of available literature data on the genetic aspects of Lynch syndrome together with geno-type-phenotype correlations and its clinical implications in the detection, genetic counseling, genetic testing, risk stratification, and management of this condition."

El así denominado "giro visual" y los estudios sobre cine han mantenido una fructífera relación a lo largo de las últimas dos décadas, no sólo respecto de sus influencias cruzadas, sino también reconfigurando el campo de lo que hoy entendemos como cine en relación con la cultura visual. Una obra artística fronteriza como la de David Lynch, que articula su producción a través de la plástica, la fotografía, el cine y los nuevos medios, en este artíclo es examinada a partir de la confluencia interdisciplinaria entre Visual Studies y Film Studies. El abordaje intenta no sólo dilucidar distintos aspectos de la producción de este artista, sino contribuir al replanteo de ciertas cuestiones fundamentales que hacen al lugar y construcción de lo visual en el cine, y a los estados y procesos que hacen a la imagen artística contemporánea, expandida por medios y técnicas en transformación.
