El presente artículo exhibe un análisis sobre el principio de alteridad desde el planteamiento de Emmanuel Levinas, quien revela su visión antropológica basada en el reconocimiento del Otro. Mediante este estudio se establece un preludio a lo que se podría considerar como una bioética fundada en la alteridad.

El artículo, de carácter aporético, asume como objetivo caracterizar sutilmente los desafíos de la educación artística, a partir de una crítica a la modernidad, hipermodernidad, así como a las manifestaciones de la sociedad estetizada. Se confuta la mirada de progreso desde una óptica emancipadora, con la premisa fundamental de lograr la elaboración del ¿por qué arte?, en los artistas.

[ES] Frente a la globalización, la internacionalización de la universidad es una parte esencial de la solución como factor para su desarrollo sostenible a través de estrategias de innovación abierta y por tanto una prioridad en los campus europeos bien contemplada en la reciente Ley de la Ciencia y los Campus de Excelencia Internacional como parte de la Estrategia Universidad 2015. El acceso a la financiación pública competitiva disponible en los fondos europeos es importante en términos de prioridades de investigación, precisamente en un contexto restrictivo de financiación nacional y autonómica. La atracción internacional de talento y posicionarnos en las grandes áreas de investigación percibidas como prioridades sociales y económicas son asimismo necesidades estratégicas que cuentan con amplio consenso y se plasman en las conocidas grandes áreas temáticas de los programas europeos, siempre con la sensibilidad hacia la consolidación de la cultura de las ciencias de la educación si queremos también avanzar en la armonización del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. La sostenibilidad de nuestros sistema de ciencia, tecnología e innovación dependerá de los retornos de los programas marco en el marco del Espacio Europeo Integrado de la Innovación, la Investigación y la Educación, y la cooperación integrada de todos los componentes del sistema con la administración y el tejido empresarial para asegurar nuestro futuro como sociedad en el modelo social europeo. ; [EN] Faced with globalization, the internationalization of the university is an essential part of the solution as a factor for sustainable development through open innovation strategies and therefore a priority for the European campus as driven by the recent Law on Science and Campus of International Excellence, part of the University Strategy 2015.

Access to competitive public funding available in the European funds is important in terms of research priorities, especially in a restrictive environment for national and regional sources. The international attraction of talent and our position in the broad areas of research perceived as social and economic priorities are also strategic needs that have broad consensus and are reflected in the thematic areas of European programs, always with sensitivity towards the consolidation of the culture of science education if we wish to progress in the harmonization of European Higher Education Area. The sustainability of our system of science, technology and innovation depend on the returns of the Framework Programme within an integrated European Innovation, Research and Education, and the integrated cooperation of all components of the system along with the administration and the industry to ensure our future as a society within the European social model.

We introduce a model of redistributive income taxation and public expenditure. Besides redistributing personal income by means of taxes and transfers, the government supplies goods and services. The government chooses the tax schedule that is found acceptable by the largest share possible of the population. We show that there is a unique income tax schedule that is universally acceptable. The progressivity of the income tax is shown to depend on the composition of the public expenditure and on the substitutability between the goods and services supplied by the government and the consumption goods privately obtained through the market. We test the empirical implications of the model. Specifically, we use OECD data to observe the relationship between marginal tax rates and the distribution over the taxpayers of the benefits produced by the specific composition of the government expenditure in the provision of goods and services. We confirm that for lower elasticities of substitution between public and private goods, there is a negative relationship between marginal tax rates and pro-taxpayer-bias, and for higher elasticities, there is a positive relationship.

This paper criticizes social revolution, by focusing on the reconfiguration of the notion from an ethical point of view. It is divided in three sections: (i) Brother's death; (ii) Remove the sandals; (iii) Thou wilt be as many as the stars. Each section contains Levinas's thought as the main axis. Although it is well known that Levinas does not develop a theory of revolution, it is possible to find a fruitful analysis in light of his meditations about politics and ethics. ; This paper criticizes social revolution, by focusing on the reconfiguration of the notion from an ethical point of view.

Agriculture is the backbone of the Ghanaian economy. It plays an important role in the socioeconomic development of Ghana as it contributes to ensuring food security, provides raw materials for local industries, generates foreign exchange, and provides employment and incomes for most of the population (especially those living in the rural areas), thereby contributing to economic development and poverty reduction. The central goal of Ghana's current development strategy, which is detailed in the Poverty Reduction Strategy II (GPRS-II), is to accelerate economic growth in order to achieve middle-income status within a measurable planning period. Subsequently, the government has placed a focus on implementing agricultural policies to bring more land under cultivation in order to generate a rapid supply response that will quickly benefit the poor in rural areas.1 These interventions are also intended to help develop a private agricultural sector that contributes to accelerated and sustained growth in the long run. Monitoring and evaluating the progress of these initiatives requires quality agricultural data for large-scale and household-based production that is collected frequently (in order to address the dynamics of agricultural production) on a spatially disaggregated level. This suggests the need for a system that regularly produces precise agricultural statistics on an annual basis at the district level. This is an important consideration because numerous interventions are currently implemented at that administrative level and many more will be operationalized at the district level in the future as Ghana continues to decentralize. However, recent data gathering activities by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) and the Statistics, Research, and Information Directorate (SRID) of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) do not currently meet these requirements. Future agricultural surveys must address this gap in order to support the government's interventions and planning processes and, in turn, maximize the effectiveness of agricultural growth and poverty reduction efforts. ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1; GRP32; GSSP ; DSGD; PHND

This study examines the activity of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats with emphasis on the early inflammatory phase. Rats receiving N-acetylcysteine (300 mg kg−1 day−1, intraperitoneal) had less augmented lung wet weight, and lower levels of proteins, lactate dehydrogenase, neutrophil and macrophage counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung myeloperoxidase activity with a betterment of histological score at 3 days postbleomycin. A diminished lung GSH/GSSG ratio and augmented lipid hydroperoxides were observed 3 days postbleomycin. These changes were attenuated by N-acetylcysteine. Alveolar macrophages from bleomycin-exposed rats released augmented amounts of superoxide anion and nitric oxide. N-Acetylcysteine did not modify superoxide anion generation but reduced the increased production of nitric oxide. N-Acetylcysteine suppressed the bleomycin-induced increased activation of lung NF-κB (shift assay and immunohistochemistry), and decreased the augmented levels of the early inflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-β, interleukin-6 and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 observed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at 1 and 3 days postbleomycin exposure. At 15 days postbleomycin, N-acetylcysteine decreased collagen deposition in bleomycin-exposed rats (hydroxyproline content: 6351±669 and 4626±288 μg per lung in drug vehicle- and N-acetylcysteine-treated rats, respectively; P<0.05). Semiquantitative histological assessment at this stage showed less collagen deposition in N-acetylcysteine-treated rats compared to those receiving bleomycin alone. These results indicate that N-acetylcysteine reduces the primary inflammatory events, thus preventing cellular damage and the subsequent development of pulmonary fibrosis in the bleomycin rat model. ; This work was supported by Grant 1FD97-1143 from the European Union (Regional Development Funds, FEDER), CICYT (Spanish Government), Regional Government (Generalitat Valenciana) and Grant FIS98/1367 (Spanish Ministry of Health). ; Peer reviewed
