The volume is highly relevant to the current regional and international discussion on endangered languages, language contact, documentation and areal typology. The publication is the outcome of a fruitful theoretical and methodological exchange between Latin American scholars and international scholars working in other regions. Most of the papers target Latin American languages. Additionally, new insight into the contact situations in Indonesia, Iran, Australia and Papua New Guinea is provided.

Keywords: Social representations; political autonomy; mestizo; population; MunicipalityCIENCIA E INTERCULTURALIDAD, Volume 5, No. 2, December 2009, 118-131 ; La Autonomía Regional de la Costa Caribe de Nicaragua es una temática abordada desde el enfoque de las representaciones sociales que permite conocer de que manera la población de Nueva Guinea, percibe el régimen autonómico; asimismo la identificación de posibles estrategias de definición política y administrativa de este territorio mestizo, que según la Ley 137 es parte de la Región Autónoma Atlántico Sur −RAAS−, no obstante desde el Estatuto de de las Regiones de la Costa Atlántica de Nicaragua y su Reglamento en el artículo 42, no hubo claridad en su jurisdicción. El diseño de investigación tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, de corte transversal, cuyos instrumentos de recopilación de información fueron entrevistas individuales y grupales, con representatividad de todos los sectores sociales y políticos. Se Identificaron diferentes apreciaciones relativas a la conceptualización y sentido de inclusión al régimen autonómico, que puede resumirse en dos posiciones. Una quienes han visto en la autonomía una oportunidad para que el municipio alcance mayores niveles de desarrollo si se integra a la región con los derechos establecidos en la Ley No. 28, y otra, quienes han pensado en una salida que implica la conformación de una nueva Región Autónoma. También se aportan elementos a las autoridades y organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil sobre el sentir de la población respecto a esta situación Los hallazgos sugieren que la población necesita mayor divulgación de la Ley para el conocimiento de sus contenidos, y a partir de ello realizar una consulta amplia a sus habitantes antes de definir el futuro de este municipio. También se ha demandado urgentemente una respuesta clara a la indefinición política – administrativa. Palabras claves: Representaciones sociales; régimen autonómico; mestizo; población; municipio.

National and regional geographic datasets with derivative spatial analysis techniques are often crucial for decision-making in sustainable development for both developing and developed countries. The needs in the spatial data and respective training are demonstrated in this article by the two very diverse examples of Papua New Guinea and the Republic of Lithuania national spatial data infrastructures. Handling and efficient use of geographic data requires rather specific skills. However, the existing curricula are inconsistent and hardly match even the basic needs of geographic information managers in state institutions and municipalities. The main objective of the proposed geographic information e-training system is to develop and provide the modularised Spatial Information Infrastructure courses intended for on-line based learning. This mainly will target employees of civil service and private business in Lithuania and the European Union. The proposed curriculum is a set of modular courses adding up to 1,5-year part-time studies in the field of Geographic Information Science and Geographic Information Infrastructure. Main advantage of on-line-based training is increasing accessibility in terms of both geographic location and time.

Medical interventions played a pivotal role in the European colonizationof Africa. Morbidity and disease were a constant preoccupation for colonial medical officers, the military, scientists, politicians, settlers, and members of the religious orders alike. The role of medicine and science in the architecture of the colonial administration is, therefore, inextricably intertwined with the legitimization of occupation, and the projects of the 'civilizing mission'. The development of a biomedical discourse as part of the Spanish colonial enterprise in Equatorial Guinea contributed, from a very early stage, to the construction of what we understand by "Africa", and of the African body asa site of disease, requiring social repair, and as a subject of knowledge and observation in a repressive colonial state. Biomedical technologies served as powerful instruments of consolidation of colonial structures, particularly during the first half of the twentieth century. The present essay addresses the following questions: How was this biomedical knowledge produced and implemented, and what specificities characterized it? How was it brought into circulation both in colonial Guinea and in metropolitan Spain?To what extent these biomedical technologies contributed to the solidification of the architecture of colonial power? Finally, often in postcolonial regimes health and fear are conflated under one same category, and act as stratagems of socio-political repression. The systemic pathology of dictatorships incorporates, as part of its etiology, clinical manifestations that include the obstruction of democratic values, and the fostering of socio-economic inequalities. The re-appropriation of concrete aspects of the colonialbiomedical apparatus is therefore useful to problematize questions of duration, reproduction and repetition under the current regimes. ; Las intervenciones médicas desempeñaron un papel importante enla colonización de África. La morbilidad y la enfermedad fueron una preocupación constante de los médicos, militares, científicos, políticos, colonos y miembros de las órdenes religiosas. El papel de la medicina y la ciencia en la arquitectura de la administración colonial está ligado, por lo tanto, de manera inextricable, a la legitimización de la ocupación y a los proyectos de 'misión civilizadora'. El desarrollo de un discurso biomédico como parte del proceso colonizador de España en los Territorios españoles del Golfo de Guinea contribuyó desde el primer momento a la construcción de lo que entendemos por "África", y del cuerpo africano como locus de la enfermedad, necesitado de reparación social y sujeto de conocimiento y observación por parte delestado colonial represor. Las tecnologías biomédicas sirvieron como instrumentos de consolidación de las estructuras coloniales, en particular durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. El presente ensayo responde a las siguientes preguntas: ¿cómo se gestó y se aplicó, y qué especificidades caracterizó, el conocimiento biomédico español? ¿Cómo se puso en circulación en la Guinea colonial y en la España metropolitana? ¿Hasta qué punto contribuyó a solidificar la arquitectura del poder colonial? En los regímenes dictatoriales postcoloniales, la salud y el miedo se fusionan con frecuencia bajo una mismacategoría, para actuar como estratagemas de represión socio-política. La patología sistémica de las dictaduras incorpora, como parte de su etiología, manifestaciones clínicas que incluyen la obstrucción de valores democráticos y el fomento de las desigualdades socio-económicas. La reapropiación de determinados aspectos del aparato biomédico colonial es, por consiguiente, instrumental para problematizar cuestiones de duración, de reproducción y de repetición en los regímenes actuales.
