RESUMEN: El artículo analiza la situación de la violencia homicida en América Latina, cuál es su ubicación en la situación mundial de violencia y cuáles serían las posibles explicaciones para el lugar que ocupa. Utilizando la base de datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud se clasifican las regiones por su tasa de homicidios y se ubica a América Latina como la región más violenta. Los países de América Latina son clasificados en cuatro grupos de acuerdo a la relación de su tasa de homicidios con la tasa media mundial y se caracterizan socialmente las víctimas.Para interpretar esa situación se relacionan con los niveles de urbanización y pobreza y se presentan los factores que pueden originar, fomentar y facilitar el incremento o disminución de los homicidios y su potencial utilidad en las políticas públicas.ABSTRACT: This article explores the situation of homicide violence in Latin America, its position within the worlds violence situation and the possible explanations for that position. Using the data bases of the World Health Organization, regions are classified by their homicide rates, which puts Latin America as the most violent region. Latin American countries are set in four groups according to the relation of their homicide rates with the world’s rate, and a social classification of victims is built. For interpreting this situation, those factors are put in relation with the levels of urbanization and poverty, and the possible causes of the increase or decrease of homicides are presented, as well as their potential utility for public policy making.

Historically, Latin American social development has been diverse and heterogeneous. It depends on the use of natural resources (with greater or less added value and productive diversity), the influence of social movements, the role of political parties, the level of education, and the prevailing culture. Inequality and social exclusion are still prevalent in most Latin American countries. Poverty and environmental deterioration tend to be correlated. Therefore strategies for mitigation of and adaptation to climate change must consider measures for overcoming poverty and reducing inequality. El desarrollo social en América Latina es históricamente muy diverso y heterogéneo. Depende del uso de los recursos naturales — con mayor o menor valor agregado y diversidad productiva —, de la influencia de los movimientos sociales, del papel de los partidos políticos, del nivel educacional alcanzado y del tipo de cultura imperante en las diferentes sociedades. Aún persiste la desigualdad y altos índices de exclusión social en la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos. Pobreza y deterioro del medio ambiente suelen correlacionarse. Los pobres por lo general viven en territorios degradados y vulnerables. Las estrategias de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático deben, en consecuencia, contemplar medidas de superación de la pobreza y disminución de los niveles de desigualdad social y ambiental.

This study exposes the opinions of a group of former directors of public schools in Chile who were selected by the system of high public management, and who had to leave their posts before the end of their appointment period. The responses evidence the fragility of the local organization of public education, in terms of the interference of the local political authority in the early dismissal of school leaders and identify the various pressures the leaders received from the higher authorities in the exercise of their position. The main problems they faced were the lack of support during the installation phases as well as a lack of monitoring and evaluation of their performance, which are widespread among Latin American countries, given the trends. This paper examines the selection process for High Public Management, the background on the subject, the answers of the interviewees, and an analysis of the interviews. It concludes with some proposals to improve the selection system.

La producción y el comercio mundial agroindustrial ha registrado un importante incremento en el presente siglo. Algunos países en América Latina, especialmente los sudamericanos se han reposicionado como importantes abastecedores de bienes agrarios. Si bien la expansión tiene múltiples causas, el acelerado crecimiento económico que ha evidenciado en los últimos veinte años la región Asia-Pacífico, motorizado principalmente por China, así como otras regiones y países emergentes, ha estado en la base de este proceso. En ese contexto, Uruguay ha sido uno de los países sudamericanos que ha mostrado un importante dinamismo. En este artículo se analiza cómo este país, históricamente agroexportador, acompañó la expansión de la producción y el comercio mundial de base agraria, desarrollando sus vínculos con el mercado externo a partir de sus principales cadenas industriales relacionadas con la producción de soja, forestación, carne, arroz y lácteos. La clave este proceso implicó, entre otras cosas, una reorganización espacial de las actividades agropecuarias, la captación de inversión extranjera directa, así como potentes transformaciones en materia de innovación tecnológica y gestión de los agronegocios.Palabras claveagroindustria; agronegocios; alimentos; cadenas productivas; comercio mundial; exportaciones; innovación; Uruguay AbstracWorld agro-industrial production and trade has registered a significant increase in this century. Some Latin American countries, especially in South America, have repositioned themselves as important suppliers of agricultural products. Although the expansion has multiple causes, the accelerated economic growth that the Asia-Pacific region has shown in the last twenty years, driven mainly by China, as well as other regions and emerging countries, has been the basis of this process. In this context, Uruguay has been one of the South American countries that has shown significant dynamism. This article analyzes how this country, historically agro-exporter, accompanied the expansion of production and world trade based on agriculture, developing its links with the external market from its main industrial chains related to the production of soy, forestry, meat, rice and dairy products. Products Products The key to this process involved, among other things, a spatial reorganization of agricultural activities, the attraction of foreign direct investment, as well as powerful transformations in terms of technological innovation and agribusiness management.Keywordsagroindustry; agribusiness; foods; productive chains; world trade; exports; innovation; Uruguay

This article describes the availability of different mathematics teaching resources in primary classrooms in Latin America to determine whether it affects student performance. A study was developed exploiting the data collected by SERCE (UNESCO) assessment, using 4-level multilevel models. The sample includes more than 8,000 classrooms in 3rd and 6th grade within 3,000 schools and 16 Latin-American countries, with a total amount of 180,000 students. On one hand, the results show there are significant gaps and differences in availability to specific learning resources for Latin American students in elementary classrooms. The analysis provides evidence that within classes where different resources are handy, students achieve higher performance.

Analysis Of Teaching

Apresenta os resultados de uma análise de práticas de ensino, utilizando dados do Brasil, do Chile e de Cuba. Esses dados incluem fitas de vídeo de 10 a 12 aulas de matemática para a 3ª série de cada país. Cada fita foi analisada mediante um instrumento de observação que enfoca a estrutura da turma, seu nível de engajamento e outros indicadores de processo. Adicionalmente, foi utilizado um sistema de mensuração do nível de conteúdo, visando entender o conceito da aula, o nível de demanda cognitiva e a interação entre a professora e a turma. Em conjunto, esses dois instrumentos são utilizados para aprofundar a análise das variações na pontuação obtida nos testes por Cuba e pelos demais países latino-americanos. Os resultados revelam diferenças significativas entre as aulas observadas nos três países, tanto em relação às práticas adotadas pelos professores no manejo das classes, quanto no que diz respeito à dificuldade relativa dos conteúdos abordados. As aulas cubanas e as aulas das escolas privadas conveniadas do Chile se destacaram positivamente em comparação com aquelas observadas nas escolas brasileiras e nas escolas públicas chilenas. Palavras-chave: práticas de ensino; educação matemática; ensino fundamental; educação comparada; Brasil, Chile, Cuba. Abstract The paper presents the results of an analysis of teaching practices, using data of Brazil, Chile and Cuba. Those data include videos from 10 to 12 mathematics classes for to 3rd grades of each country. Each video was analyzed by means of an observation instrument that focuses the structure of the group, the engagement level and other process indicators. In addition, a system of content level was used, seeking to understand the concept of the class, the level of cognitive demand and the interaction between the teacher and the group. Those two instruments are jointly used to deepen the analysis of the variations in the punctuation obtained in the tests by Cuba and by the other Latin-American countries. The results reveal significant differences among the classes observed within the three countries, so much in relation to the practices adopted by the teachers in the handling of the classes, as in what concerns the relative difficulty of the approached contents. The Cuban classes and the classes of private schools in Chile stood out positively in comparison with those observed at the Brazilian schools and at Chilean public schools. Keywords: teaching practices; mathematics teaching; basic education; comparative study: Brazil, Chile, Cuba.
