It is the aim of this paper to describe the most important techniques that are being used in Mexico City to retrofit buildings damaged during the 1985 earthquake. The information is presented by means of four case studies. These cases offer practical design examples of the typical solutions adopted and illustrate the various aspects of the repair and strengthening process such as damage assessment, emergency measures for temporary protection, the retrofitting technique employed in each case and considerations and decisions made in the analysis and design.

During the September 19, 1985 earthquake about 60 post-1957 multistory steel buildings in Mexico City were subjected to a severe test. In most cases, the damage in the post-1957 structures was minor to moderate. The notable exception is the Pino Suarez complex in which one 21-story building collapsed onto a 14-story building, and two other 21-story buildings were severely damaged. The behavior of these buildings as well as two other case studies are analyzed. Conclusions are drawn on the ductility demands imposed on steel buildings in Mexico City, utilizing simplified structural models and considering the actual strength of buildings that may be much higher than the code design strength.

El objetivo es socializar las experiencias en evaluación promovidas en el Seminario sobre el uso de innovaciones ante los actuales paradigmas de la educación (Maestría en Psicopedagogía). Los dispositivos didácticos diseñados fueron: a) el foro, b) el diario reflexivo, c) los estudios de caso y d) el ensayo. Las consignas de trabajo se constituyeron en las guías para cada una de las actividades. Las rúbricas de evaluación planteadas atendieron al objetivo general del seminario: Analizar diversos temas educativos a la luz de su componente de innovación para potenciar el saber teórico-práctico de la función pedagógica. Entre los hallazgos más significativos está el concebir la  tarea docente como aliada de un proceso de evaluación que apoye, guíe y nutra la travesía de formación y maduración del estudiantado. Palabras clave: evaluación, aprendizaje y proceso de formación. AbstractThe goal is to socialize the experiences in evaluation that took place in the Seminary about the use of innovations in the current paradigms of education (Master's degree in Psychopedagogy). The didactic devices designed were: a) the forum, b) reflective journal, c) case studies and d) reflective papers. The work instructions constituted the guidelines for each of the activities. The assessment rubrics attended the overall objective of the seminar: analyzing various educational topics in the light of its component of innovation to enhance the theoretical and practical knowledge of pedagogical function. Among the most significant findings is to conceive the teaching duty as ally in the evaluation process due to the fact that it supports guides and nurtures the learning and maturation journey students face.Key words: assessment, learning and training process.

Uno de los objetivos de este trabajo es aportar elementos que permitan caracterizar un proceso de gentrificación en un contexto latinoamericano, diferenciándolo de las características del discurso dominante en casos de estudio de ciudades norteamericanas y de Europa occidental. Esto mediante un diálogo, por un lado, entre el estado del arte de la gentrificación, y por otro lado, mediante un análisis de las transformaciones que caracterizan a la colonia Condesa en la Ciudad de México. La información del caso de estudio se obtuvo de diversas instituciones públicas, por medio de la Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública del Distrito Federal, levantamiento de uso de suelo y entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave. Esto permitió caracterizar un proceso de gentrificación en una ciudad latinoamericana y analizar sus consecuencias económicas y sociales.Palabras claveGentrificación / ciudad neoliberal / Ciudad de México / Colonia Condesa AbstractOne of the urban transformation processes that have been observed in the context of the neoliberal city is the return of population and capital to the centers of large cities, a process which is usually named as gentrification primarily on case studies of cities U.S. and Western Europe. One objective of this work is to provide elements to characterize a process of gentrification in a Latin American context, differentiating features of the dominant discourse on case studies of American and Western European cities. This through a dialogue, on the one hand, between the state of the art of gentrification, and secondly, through an analysis of the transformations that characterize the Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City. The case study information was obtained from various public institutions, through the Law of Transparency and Access to Public Information of the Federal District, land use survey and semi-structured interviews with key actors. This allowed us to characterize a process of gentrification in a Latin American city and analyze its economic and social consequences.Keywords:Gentrification / neoliberal city / Mexico City / Colonia Condesa.

This chapter provides context. It stresses the harm caused by corruption in the built environment, while also briefly taking the pulse of corruption in Latin America and highlighting the vulnerability of local bureaucracies to this kind of corruption. This chapter summarizes three case studies of alleged corruption in Mexico City’s construction sector, thus uncovering the dubious tactics used by some developers. As is argued here, cities like Mexico City need not wait for major institutional reforms in order begin to control corruption in construction. Anticorruption audits can prove useful, especially if they are applied to the most sensitive bureaucratic processes.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.
