Regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recognize pharmacogenetics as a key tool in their pharmacological guidelines for pharmaceutical counseling. In this context, community pharmacies play a crucial role in addressing this healthcare need, which could lead to a significant improvement in patients' quality of life by preventing ineffective or contraindicated treatments. In this work, we conducted a systematic review of the available scientific evidence regarding druggene interactions relevant to community pharmacy. We identified the main genes and polymorphisms associated with treatment response and adverse effects in primary care. Finally, we propose a model for implementing pharmacogenetic services in community pharmacies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to contribute to the debate on basic education teacher training policies in Mexico during the 2018-2024 period. The analysis strategy starts with a review of the discursive constituents conditioning the educational policy, followed by an assessment of the aspects that impacted the transmission of information, and concludes by examining the instruments that made up the structure of the training system. The constitutional reforms of 2019 were supposed to meet the commitment to revalorize the teaching function and to have an impact on the actors in charge of public policies, although, throughout the six-year term, the federal and state agencies responsible for lifelong learning lacked coordination and articulation.

Medicines are an essential element for all health systems. This makes them an indispensable social good of quality and effectiveness for health problems. From a public health perspective, it is important to have health regulations as a fundamental instrument of health protection. This paper aims to characterize the role of health regulation of medicines from four historical, political and socioeconomic determinants of Mexico, and present the strategies implemented by Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (Cofepris, in Spanish) to close gaps in universal access to medicines. Discussion. In the 21st century, the constant increase of population without access to health care entails a great challenge for the State to reduce gaps between supply and demand and to focus such policies on the functions of regulating, providing and reporting. For Mexico, the last two centuries have reflected a national drug policy model that permeated a health regulation that prioritizes efficiency, quality, and pre-market with little attention to universal access to medicines and other health supplies. Faced with this, the current administration of the Cofepris promotes a paradigm shift, orienting its action strategies to regulatory optimization and reduction of asymmetry of direct information to the population which also takes into account access to health supplies. Conclusions. In the Region of the Americas, the actions of National Regulatory Agencies such as Cofepris are crucial for the solidification of a public policy model focused not only on the efficacy and quality of medicines, but also regulatory optimization that supports the objectives and goals of universal access to essential medicines and other health supplies.

This article explores the cultural and educational policies developed by the Argentine State in relation to the institutionalization of music. We will try to establish a dialogue between the national dynamics and those of the province of Buenos Aires and, particularly, those of Bahía Blanca, a city located in the southwest of that jurisdiction that experienced profound cultural transformations during the first part of the 20th century. Considering the links between politics and culture, we will provide an approach to the public music policies that were devised and executed by state agencies in interaction with different groups and individuals who were involved in musical education and its performance in the region.

The following work analyzes the state intervention in tourism in Tucumán during the radical governments between 1935 and 1943, focusing especially on exploring the legislative debates around the 1936 tourism plan and on examining the functions, scope, and chronologies of the specialized departments of 1936 and 1942. Based on the widespread agreement that existed at the national level since the 1930s regarding the idea that tourism should be fostered and organized by the State, the article recovers the specifics of the Tucuman interventionist phenomenon. Thus, the foundations that allowed the establishment of a more active state role regarding tourism in Tucumán are investigated. For this, the marches and countermarches, the projects, regulations, debates, and capacities that defined certain types of agencies are problematized. Therefore, two core moments of the process of subnational state configuration at the tourism level are examined. To carry out this research, primary sources were used, such as session diaries of the parliamentary chambers of the province, written press of national and provincial rank, relevant State documentation such as descriptive memories, among others.

This article reflects on the extensive use of irregular burials in public cemeteries as a method of disappearance/elimination of bodies during the last civic-military dictatorship in Argentina. Drawing on a historical-anthropological perspective, it investigates a paradigmatic case: the discovery of one of the largest mass graves in Latin America, located in the San Vicente Cemetery in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. The underlying assumption guiding the analysis is that irregular burial involved the intervention of bureaucraticadministrative instances linked to the regular handling of corpses--hospitals, morgues, and public cemeteries--resulting in the existence of documentary traces that currently account for its use and extent. The article begins with the description of a letter written in 1980 by morgue workers and a newspaper article about the first identification in Córdoba, serving as temporal markers of a lengthy search process. The geographical and historical reconstruction of San Vicente and its burial practices configure it as a territory of marginalities and impurities, as a receiver of bodies of the sick, the poor, and also "subversive delinquents." Analyzed as cultural artifacts, the morgue's entry books and the 1980 letter reveal different aspects of the irregular burial practice and how the bodies of the murdered were incorporated into the routines of state agencies. Such records were crucial in the forensic anthropological work of searching for and locating the large mass grave. The article is framed among studies focusing on the "legal" and "administrative" forms of state repression and terror. It seeks to highlight the importance of preliminary investigation and interdisciplinarity in the application of forensic anthropology, not only in the analyzed geographical area but also in clarifying the multiple violences that permeate the region.

Ecuador is a small Andean country located in the western hemisphere of South America. The country has 361;747hm3 annual superficial water resources; As a result, Ecuador, in the last fifteen years (2005 to 2020), has been rapidly developing hydropower projects to triple the production in this renewable source. There were eight new hydroelectric plants constructed in Ecuador among 2007 and 2015 invested close to USD 6 billion the projects. Increased the energy response with renewables; for example, in 1985, the country produced 4 TWh, in 2005-registered 7 TWh, and to 2020, 24 TWh. According to the Electricity Corporation of Ecuador in 2020 reported that generated around 80% of all electricity through hydropower; thus, the article aims to critically analyze the development of hydropower in Ecuador in recent years and establish general energy projections to 2030 to expand the fields of knowledge and perspectives. The paper methodology is quantitative, according to scientific editorial sources, articles, investigative documents, and collects data from government agencies that regulate energy development in Ecuador. It is conclusive between a projection's calculation, Ecuador will need for the year 2030 around 43 TWh, 47 TWh, or 52 TWh to supply the energy grid, according to the scenarios proposed (low, medium, high). Although hydropower will be essential to contribute to this requirement, the country has a barrier because hydropower is very sensitive to external factors of diverse nature, generating an uncertainly future directly associated with climatic effects.

This work questions the role and development of the state agency in charge of tourism in Salta during the Peronist years. The evolution, functions, capacities and limits of the State are analyzed at “ground level” in a space barely explored by the historiography of tourism. From this it was demonstrated that the organization of tourism was carried out through the autonomous and decentralized action of the subnational agency, with little or no national coordination and characterized by fragmentation, obstacles, marches and countermarches.

The frontier between Brazil and Venezuela is approximately 2,199 kilometers long. It has been the scene of marked tensions and migratory flows due to the Venezuelan crisis, especially centered between the cities of Pacaraima (in Brazil) and Santa Elena de Uairén (in Venezuela). This border passes through isolated and difficult-to-access areas, with little public service infrastructure and currently has only one land crossing point, between the cities of Pacaraima and Santa Elena de Uairén. In this context, the fundamental objective of this essay is to analyze the territorial dynamics between the two countries, in the period 2016 and 2021, seeking to emphasize, from the perspective of the frontier in motion, the main socioeconomic consequences generated by mobility in this part. of the Amazon. The methodology used is based on the review of reports from Brazilian government agencies and pre-existing bibliographies of related research in Venezuela-Brazil. The question of the border strip implies the (re)cognition of the diversity and interdependence of the challenges, potentials and specificities of the two regions. The results point out important challenges in integration, health and education due to migration, as well as the similarities and differences in the internal dynamics of these two important countries in the border area, mainly in stimulating the sustainable and integrated development of the borders, valuing their cultural, environmental and economic wealth.

Based on an analysis of the struggles of the Nahua peoples of Milpa Alta in Mexico City, this article addresses the following question: How has it been possible to conserve large extensions of forest and agricultural land in a demarcation that is part of one of the largest cities in the world, in rapid expansion since the middle of the last century? The explanation articulates two key categories: reconfigured communality in Milpa Alta through historical struggles that continue to unfold to date; and the social metabolism of human-nature exchanges mediated by the work of various agencies, whose projects come into conflict at different times. We argue that the re-creation of indigenous forms of organization and collective practices have made it possible to curb the extraction of raw materials (wood and water) and land-use change for development projects promoted by government agencies and private companies; in addition to contributing to the conservation of small-scale agricultural practices. The analysis is based on semi-structured interviews that were carried out between 2016 and 2020 with inhabitants of Milpa Alta and on a systematic review of bibliographic, newspaper, statistical, and online sources.

Situated within the field of social conflict studies and focused on the local scale, this paper provides an overview of social conflict in the city of Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina) between January 1997 and February 2002. It centres on two analytical dimensions: firstly, the paper delineates the topics of conflict; and secondly, it identifies what type of organisations participated, with particular emphasis on the ways state agencies were involved. The methodological approach is quantitative, based on the development of a database on conflict taking a local newspaper as its historical source. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Belgian artist Constantin Meunier championed themes of labour and mining during the successful mature stage of his career. In turn, this article focuses on his stay in Seville to carry out a commission for the Belgian government between October 1882 and April 1883. The article delves into this brief period by examining Meunier's correspondence with his wife Léocadie Gorneaux, the works he created in Spain and contemporary specialist criticism in the Franco-Belgian press. Many unforeseen obstacles initially forced Meunier to prolong what was meant to be a decisively short stay, and his letters detail this difficult experience through to the conclusion of the mission entrusted to him.

In the irrigated areas of Mendoza province, located in the centralwest region of Argentina, trees play a central role in the construction of places and the definition of identity. The landscape, understood in a relational and historical sense, emerges as an interesting category for analyzing how material and discursive phenomena and dynamics shape environments that are considered characteristic of an identity. Based on a study of historical and current discourses and materialities regarding the formation of the forest landscape in the central-northern region of the province (currently known as the northern oasis), our objective is to analyze the role of these plants in the shaping and consolidation of distinctive environments, ways of experiencing these landscapes, and ethnic and provincial identities. The historical analysis is approached through a synthesis of archaeological and documentary data, which allows for the delineation and distinction of indigenous, colonial, and modern landscape formations. Current materialities are analyzed through agronomic studies, environmental reports produced by state agencies or provincial legislations, and own records. Discourses are examined through research in local media, web forums, and public debates. This article provides a synthesis and new insights on the topic, particularly by discussing various previously isolated sources. This holistic and historically informed analysis allows us to observe how narratives and materialities are intertwined in the unique construction of the forest landscape in Mendoza's irrigated areas, shaping a distinct environment, experience, and identity in the study region, impacting various fields of knowledge and practice.

This article traces the origin and deployment of a set of operational networks that were formed, during World War II, with the explicit aim of cultivating a favourable environment for the United States in the Latin American press. Coordinated by a state agency, the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) or "Rockefeller Office", these networks served as a link between public and private sectors and, as such, facilitated the mobilization of power resources beyond the realm of the state for the purpose of creating incentives and disincentives aimed at influencing editorial orientation related to issues relevant to US foreign policy. In order to reveal the impacts and also the limits of such a deployment of power, this article focuses on the particular case of the Colombian press, analysing primary sources such as foreign and local press articles, as well as the OIAA archives.

The objective of this study is to identify the various uses given to the extraordinary grant provided by the Peruvian Government to the commission responsible for commemorating the IV Centenary of the Spanish Foundation of the city of Cusco. Additionally, it aims to analyze the conflicts that arose among local elites over the use of this grant. The hypothesis posits that the grant encouraged local leaders to undertake projects that resulted in favorable changes in the urban and economic composition of the city, but simultaneously fueled conflicts among Cusco's elites, who sought larger percentage allocations for execution in their respective sectors. As a result, subcommittees were established to carry out works in support of Cusco's tourist image. The research draws on bibliographic materials, documents preserved in the Historical Archive of the Municipal Library of Cusco (AHBMC), and publications in the El Comercio de Cusco newspaper (ECC). The funds allocated contributed to actions that led to favorable conditions in the city of Cusco and its tourist image, creating an atmosphere of progress and fostering entrepreneurial spirit in the hotel industry sector.

The document reproduced below is a partial selection from Volume 272 (932) of the Archivo Regional Araucanía (ARA), located in the city of Temuco, capital of the Araucanía region, especially from the Fondo de Intendencia de Cautín (FIC). The document constitutes a historical reading and, at the same time, a political position on the part of the National Confederation of Mapuche Associations, Mapuche political formation that since the end of the sixties had proposed to stimulate the unity of the Mapuche organizations, calling the I National Mapuche Congress, meeting held during December 17-20, 1969. The material reveals in detail the general information of the delegates (names, surnames, localities, and communities) who participated in the meeting and, above all, the conclusions of the various thematic commissions that met during the Congress. It is, in fact, a documentary piece of enormous historical value for reconstructing the political experience of the Mapuche movement of the “long” sixties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of the configuration of the state apparatus of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the formation of a specific official agency to protect popular libraries in the region meant the emergence and medium-term affirmation of libraries as social issue in the public agenda of the government. The present work aims to examine the brief existence of this Commission of Protection and Promotion created in 1910 from its composition, its actions and its insertion in the provincial bureaucratic structure, and focusing on the limitations that acted as barriers to its development. Thus, it is shown that the combination of scarce resources, jurisdictional conflicts, an incipient development of library knowledge and the resistance of the libraries themselves, were the factors that led to its dissolution in 1913.

This article describe and analyze the so-called Collective's role as an armed group operating in Venezuela in areas of Aragua and Carabobo, specifically in the cities of Maracay and Valencia. Some reflections on the role of these groups within Venezuelan society and their relationship with government agencies are presented. The data that feed the content of this article are part of an investigation carried out during the first semester of the year 2021, in several states of Venezuela. It was a qualitative study, where the interview was used as a data collection technique, and as an instrument an interview guide for community members, and another for members of armed groups. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and then subjected to content analysis to extract the findings presented here. An analytical look at the information obtained in the research allowed us to see the phenomenon's complexity and understand how the armed organizations represented in the collectives have managed to maintain their power and leadership in the social, political, and economic spheres of communities. There seems to be a weakness or exhaustion of the State model in its capacity to defend the interests of citizens and the government, through its structures, has granted these armed groups impunity in committing crimes and in appropriating their functions. The Collectives represent a key piece for the security of the government, so it may be a government strategy transferring responsibilities and the legitimate use of violence to exercise authority and control in some sectors.

There are four superintendencies to which jurisdictional functions have been conferred; however, there are no regulatory or administrative bodies that systematize the rules for their operation, organization, exercise of the activity of administration of justice and control over their decisions. Consequently, the ordinary citizen, and even lawyers who are not experts in this particular sector, may have a somewhat gray picture when confronted with this type of judges. Accordingly, the objective of this research was to analyze the core aspects of the organization and functioning of the administration of justice by the four superintendencies. Finally, it was found that this offer of justice could be distant for the common public and even for certain jurists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is based on the premise that public information in public procurement processes is diffuse, not very accessible and that its availability through both transparency mechanisms and the right of access to information does not guarantee the citizens' right to know. In order to argue this idea, a brief historical review of the implications of the right of access to information is made and it is differentiated from the mechanisms of transparency as public policy. Subsequently, public procurement processes are described, identifying the type of information in the process, to then analyze the information requests made to federal executive agencies during 2022. Finally, other means that have been created as tools for access to information on public procurement are analyzed. This analysis, in addition to describing how public procurement information is handled in Mexico, allows us to make proposals to strengthen both transparency and the right of access to information for citizens in a complex process such as public procurement.

In this paper, based on the analysis of specific events in which the lieutenant treasurer of San Miguel de Tucumán, Manuel Antonio Pereyra was involved, we intend to investigate the conflictive relationship of this treasury official with other government agencies and members of the army during the revolutionary process and how he adapted to the new context. We ask what interests, perceptions and support he may have had about May's events, the war, and his expectations of an open ending. The aim is to analyze the behaviour of this crown' representant in the face of the unprecedented events of May to understand how the members of the Treasury reacted to the process and what place they had to occupy.

The acute and not so recent political and economic crises in African and Latin American countries, coupled with the armed conflicts that are shaking the Middle East and Eastern Europe, have once again revived the debates centered on migration and its consequences, as well as in the strategies to guide such mass mobilizations and their possible insertion in numerous and different societies, promoting interculturality and facilitating, in principle, cultural assimilation, and therefore, avoiding any possible cultural shock. This essay presents a synthesis of the basic definitions and the main arguments that on migration, multiculturalism and interculturality are currently discussed, both in government agencies, such as universities and non-governmental organizations, and which are echoed by the media social, with the purpose of forming constructive opinions and interpretations about a perspective of this social reality, and that perhaps can only be properly understood as a current fact, beyond the merely political and news, linked to a certain historical context.
