Sommario/riassunto |
|
Este libro está basado en un estudio antropológico y una labor de asistencia social en la ciudad nicaraguënse de Matagalpa. Durante cinco años la autora visitó regularmente a familias en las que uno o más familiares han desarrollado un trastorno psicótico en la pubertad. Aquí se narran las conmovedoras historias de cuatro de estas familias. Tratan de pobreza, violencia y la búsqueda en vano de una cura. El título Mejor dejarlo tranquilo hace referencia a una estrategia de supervivencia que los familiares, después de años de lucha, se han visto obligados a adoptar para poder pasar los días de la forma más llevadera posible. Además de los familiares, también hablan los asistentes de salud y otras personas del entorno. Así el lector se puede hacer una idea de la ayuda de que disponen los pacientes psicóticos y lo que la sociedad piensa de ellos. Finalmente describe la autora como, junto con las familias, se llega a constituir una organización para hacer frente a la psicosis y a los problemas que esta conlleva. La publicación de este libro tiene como objetivo dar a estudiantes, profesionales y legisladores una visión de la problemática que hay en Nicaragua relacionada con la psicosis. El libro es, además, un alegato a favor de la atención psiquiátrica en el hogar y el involucrar a los familiares en el tratamiento de los pacientes psicóticos. |

Sommario/riassunto |

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon platform drilling the Macondo Well in Mississippi Canyon Block 252 (DWH) exploded, killing 11 workers and injuring another 17. The DWH oil spill resulted in nearly 5 million barrels (approximately 200 million gallons) of crude oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). The full impacts of the spill on the GoM and the people who live and work there are unknown but expected to be considerable, and will be expressed over years to |

decades. In the short term, up to 80,000 square miles of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) were closed to fishing, resulting in loss of food, jobs and recreation. The DWH oil spill immediately triggered a process under the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) to determine the extent and severity of the "injury" (defined as an observable or measurable adverse change in a natural resource or impairment of a natural resource service) to the public trust, known as the Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA). The assessment, undertaken by the trustees (designated technical experts who act on behalf of the public and who are tasked with assessing the nature and extent of site-related contamination and impacts), requires: (1) quantifying the extent of damage; (2) developing, implementing, and monitoring restoration plans; and (3) seeking compensation for the costs of assessment and restoration from those deemed responsible for the injury. This interim report provides options for expanding the current effort to include the analysis of ecosystem services to help address the unprecedented scale of this spill in U.S. waters and the challenges it presents to those charged with undertaking the damage assessment. |
