Der Virus HIV und die erworbene Immunschwäche-Krankheit AIDS führen häufig zur Stigmatisierung der Betroffenen. Sozialwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen dieser Stigmatisierungsprozesse zielen zumeist auf Meinungen, sehr viel weniger jedoch auf Gefühle. In unserer Studie haben wir uns deshalb mit der Rolle von Emotionen im Prozess der Stigmatisierung von Menschen, die mit HIV/AIDS leben, durch Professionelle im Gesundheitsbereich beschäftigt. Hierzu wurden im Rahmen eines explorativen und qualitativen Designs halbstrukturierte Tiefeninterviews durchgeführt. Das Sample setzte sich zusammen aus 80 Professionellen und Studierenden aus Psychologie, Sozialarbeit, Medizin und Pflegewissenschaft. In den Ergebnissen unserer Untersuchung wurden mit HIV/AIDS assoziierte Gefühle wie Mitleid, Ekel und Angst sichtbar, wobei die Forschungsteilnehmer(innen) das Bedürfnis artikulierten, diese Gefühle im Umgang mit Betroffenen kontrollieren zu wollen. Die Ergebnisse verwiesen auch auf die Erfordernis, Faktoren weiter zu untersuchen, die den Umgang mit Emotionen vermitteln – so z.B. die jeweiligen sozialen Kontexte, in denen sie ausgelöst werden, oder die Frage, wem gegenüber solche Gefühle offenbart werden –, und um so Prozesse der HIV/AIDS-bezogenen Stigmatisierung besser verstehen zu können.

The aim of the article was to reveal the content of the controversial elements of the illegal use of humanitarian aid, provided for in Article 201-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; to clarify the validity of the introduction of this prohibition and, moreover, to discuss its impact on law enforcement. All of which in order to be able to determine the prospects for the development of criminal law in the field. Several research methods have been used in the article, such as: comparative, systemic-structural and legal-formal. Referring to the appropriate methodological basis has made it possible to delve into the issues of criminal liability for embezzlement of humanitarian aid funds in Ukraine. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, it has been noted that there are no special provisions on appropriation and embezzlement of humanitarian aid items in the legislation of certain European states. As a conclusion it has been argued that the introduction of article 201-2 in the Criminal Code, is an example of excessive criminalization because: in this case, the act, which is inherent in the social harmfulness necessary for criminalization, did not require criminalization, since criminal liability for it has already existed and is broadly typified in the law.

An estimated 33 million people are today infected with HIV, many living in conflict or post conflict settings. The international community is increasingly recognising the effect HIV/AIDS can have on national security and conflict, both exacerbating conflict and being an obstacle to peace. The article argues for considering HIV/AIDS as a security issue and concludes four main theories on the links between HIV/AIDS, national security and conflict: 1. Uniformed personnel as a vector of HIV, 2. National security threatened by HIV/AIDS affected state institutions, 3. Increased vulnerability to HIV infection in conflict and post-conflict environments, and 4. HIV as an obstacle to peace building. These four theories are explored in the Colombian context. Of the four theories investigated it was found that 1 and 3 presented the strongest linkages between HIV/AIDS, national security and conflict. The theories 2 and 4 were less strong, mainly due to the relatively low HIV prevalence rate in Colombia. (Colombia Internacional/ GIGA)

La politica de cooperacion de los Estados Unidos esta en pleno proceso de reestructuracion.

Science fiction can be used as a pedagogical aid for the teaching, popularizing, critical reflection and promotion of science and technology. A teaching experience is described in which science fiction stories (novels, short stories, movies and short films) were used exclusively to impart a Science, Technology and Society Studies Course for undergraduate students of the Library Science program, in the Interamerican School of Library Science, Antioquia University, during the first semester of 2014. The course was structured as a reading and writing workshop, supplemented with thematical discussions and exercises. The results were satisfactory, showcasing the students creativity and critical thinking. Several recommendations and resources are presented for other teachers who wish to emulate or adapt the experience.

The research was aimed at ascertaining the content of legal guarantees of the lawyer's activity in terms of rendering free secondary legal aid in administrative proceedings. With the help of general and special methods and cognition, it has been shown that the legal guarantees of a lawyer's activity as a subject of rendering free secondary legal aid have the following characteristics: 1) guarantee the freedom, without hindrance, of the exercise of the rights attributed to the lawyer and the due fulfillment of the duties attributed to the obligations; 2) the set of means, modalities and conditions that make up the content of the guarantees are always set at the appropriate regulatory and legal level; 3) they begin to operate after the occurrence of legal events that are related to the acquisition of special rights and obligations by the lawyer, and; 4) it is a component of the more general legal category "guarantee of defense". By way of conclusion, we can state that the legal guarantees of the lawyer's activity depend for their success on several factors: institutional, legal and contextual, which require particular treatment by future research.

Reportaje sobre el grado de sobrevivencia y el estado de los pacientes contagiados por el VIH en el controvertido sanatorio de Santiago de las Vegas que aspira a promover la reinsercion del paciente en la sociedad

Studies on development highlight the rational choice approach; this fact pushes theories of modernization and institutional capacity into the background. However, these theories still predominate in discussions on aid and in international aid agencies, both in words and in deeds. The reason is that the proposals of the theories used are more manageable or legible administratively. Thus, on reviewing recent studies, it can be seen that in the case of rational choice the perspectives and conclusions on international aid differ. This hinders its use by international aid agencies.
