Advancing the management of primary immunodeficiency diseases in Latin America: Latin American Society for Immunodeficiencies (LASID) Initiatives

Couple and family relationships have changed in different aspects in the recent history of Latin America. This paper reviewed comparative studies on couple and family relationships in Latin America published between 2001 and 2015. These studies used data from different countries. The contents analyzed in these investigations were divided in five main themes: (a) family size, structure and diversity; (b) couple and family internal dynamics, including couple and family formation and dissolution, gender and social roles, social care and protection, and couple and family violence; (c) couple, family and health; (d) couple, family and education; and, (e) couple, family and economy. Although comparative studies in Latin America are based mainly on data from national censuses and have a demographic approach, the comparative perspective is proposed as an important mean for the integration of diverse disciplines and the development of international cooperation in studies about couple and family in Latin America. Macro and micro perspectives, as well as quantitative and qualitative data, may complement each other and contribute to a more integrated knowledge about couple and family relationships in the region. Couple and family internal structure and dynamics are related to Latin American society and culture in diverse ways. Some possibilities and suggestions for future investigations are also presented.

This article studies the role which the Constitutionalist group of the Mexican Revolution assigned to propaganda of their actions and programs. It evaluates the significance of the publicity campaigns launched after 1914, in an effort to counter negative reports and information about the Revolution coming from the United States. In particular, it reconstructs the propaganda campaign carried out in Latin America. On the one hand, it reviews the various mechanisms which made it possible for Mexico and its Revolution to achieve a presence in the press and the academic and political venues of Latin America; on the other, it evaluates the effects of that propaganda, the solidarity which it aroused, and the exemplary model which the Mexican Revolution became in certain spaces of Latin American society. / En este artículo se estudia el papel que el núcleo constitucionalista de la Revolución mexicana asignó a la propaganda de sus acciones y programas. Se evalúa el significado de las campañas publicitarias puestas en marcha a partir de 1914, con el fin de contrarrestar noticias e informaciones provenientes de los Estados Unidos. En concreto, se reconstruye la estrategia propagandística desenvuelta en Latinoamérica. Por un lado, se analiza los distintos mecanismos que hicieron posible que México y su Revolución alcanzaran una presencia visible en medios de prensa, ámbitos académicos y políticos de América Latina; y por otro lado, se reconstruyen los efectos de aquella propaganda, las acciones de solidaridad que despertaron y el perfil ejemplificador que comenzó a adquirir la Revolución Mexicana en determinados espacios de las sociedades latinoamericanas.
