Father Francisco del Castillo S. J. (Lima, 1615-1673), nominated to sainthood by the Society of Jesus in the Peruvian province, wrote his autobiography according the requirements of his superiors in order, as he states, to bring to light the mercy and blessings offered to him by God. In this work, he speaks above all of his inner life, thereby following the model of Saint Ignatius. Additionally, the autobiography accurately reflects the religious mentality of the era and the pastoral policies and strategies employed by the Society of Jesus in the Peruvian province during the 16th century. Father Francisco’s biography is included in the Society’s general policies as it is an historical account that identifies some common ideals, principles and paths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In seventeenth century Peru, which was characterized by an intense religiosity, virtuous men and women lived in a permanent confrontation with the devil that was understood as an expression of the conflict between Good and Evil that existed from the beginning of time and would last until the end of time. The devil, attempting the perdition of the "saints", tried to destroy the work of God, because they were his chosen. But, on the other hand, the devil acted in these matters with Gods permission who in this way tried to test the strength of his favored children. Using hagiographic accounts, this article analyzes these phenomena and describes the strategies that the devil used in order to make the "saints" fall. It also examines the means those turned to in their struggles and the meaning that those confrontations had. The article tries to understand why for seventeenth-century Peruvian society, and more so for the "saints", the devil maintained a prominence in daily life throughout the century, while in Europe its image tended to become diluted.

The article focuses on the role of the Catholic Church in the construction and support of the Chilean Republic over the span of 200 years, from 1810 to 2010, with specific attention to the Church's work in indigenous communities and with the poor. Missions of the church reviewed in this study include the work of the Franciscan order in the indigenous communities of Araucanía, Chile, efforts of the Capuchin Franciscans, and charity provided to poverty-stricken communities and people. The role of the church in social legislation and reform is also discussed.

The figure of Gonzalo Vial Correa is remembered here, who died on October 30th, 2009, leaving an impression as one of the greatest Chilean historians of the second half of the 20th century. This work summarizes his educational and journalistic contributions, which were always characterized by being immensely cultural, with a deep analysis and full commitment to his principles.

Resumen En este artículo se examinan los orígenes, los objetivos y el diseño de los créditos impositivos en el Reino Unido, y se analiza hasta qué punto esos beneficios representan un nuevo enfoque en la política de seguridad social. Luego la atención se concentra en el papel que estas transferencias desempeñan en materia de sostén a las madres empleadas que están solas al frente del hogar, recurriendo a las experiencias de las familias monoparentales para explorar cómo funcionaron en su caso los créditos impositivos. La exposición pone de relieve las tensiones entre los cambios que se han operado en la familia y el empleo y las reglas que el crédito impositivo establece respecto de la información de las modificaciones que surjan en lo concerniente a circunstancias e ingresos.

How did a young girl virtually unknown to the great majority of the inhabitants of Lima, who lived as a semirecluse, become a saint just after her death, and was venerated by hundreds who came to pay homage and approach her body to obtain relics and the cure of disease? This article analyzes the role played in the phenomenon of Saint Rose of Lima (1586-1617) by Luisa Melgarejo de Soto, the circumstances surrounding Rose's death, and the influence of the Dominican order in generating a climate of opinion that made possible the start of the beatification process. An important element in that process was an account of the life of Rose written by a member of that order a few days after her death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Cuba, there is little information on the foot pathologies affecting cattle, and these constitute a problem of animal welfare under production conditions. In the present study, 384 dairy Siboney de Cuba cows were examined, which represented 100 % of milking cows from six dairy farms in Artemisa province. The prevalence of lesions was calculated and the logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with these pathologies. Fifty-six cows were detected with foot lesions (14.58 %), of which 53.57 % presented first degree of lameness. The most affected members were the hind legs (66.26 %) and, of these, the side hooves with the highest number of lesions. The main pathologies diagnosed were: pathological deformations of the hoofs, ulceration of the sole and white line disease. It is concluded that poor drainage and sleeves in poor condition were the main risk factors for the presentation of foot lesions in the cows studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este artículo se presenta una propuesta de un modelo de gestión estratégico de servicios de información y comunicaciones. El modelo consta de cuatro perspectivas en las cuales se integran una herramienta de gestión estratégica, un modelo de proceso de telecomunicaciones y de gestión de servicios. También se muestra cómo se puede aplicar el modelo y los resultados que se obtendrían, demostrando su utilidad para identificar servicios, requerimientos de negocio, procesos y herramientas claves para el proveedor de servicio que no se están teniendo en cuenta actualmente y que se requieren para lograr la excelencia en la gestión de servicios y su alineación con los objetivos y estrategias de negocio.
