Since 2008, more than 50% of the world's population has lived in cities and it is projected that by 2050 around 87% will do so. Designing infrastructure in urban spaces has become increasingly critical for achieving human well-being. This dissertation examines socio-spatial transformation processes related to urbanization, economic development and the marginalization of utilitarian cycling in Cali, Colombia, as a particular expression of the struggle for transportation space occurring in urban areas. The research analyzes (a) the socio-spatial processes that have restricted the use of bicycles as a means of transportation in the city of Cali, Colombia; and (b) the social, health and economic implications for people who use bicycles as their primary means of transportation in this city. Cali is a major city in Latin America and an excellent case to study the complex dynamic of how social and economic forces are evident in resource distribution at the street level. Informed by Harvey's work (1976; 1978; 2012), combined with an environmental justice perspective (Bullard 2007), this research adopts a conceptual framework that examines the transformation of the built environment as part of capitalist led urbanization. It concludes that the implementation of transportation infrastructure was aimed at enabling productivity and profits, with less emphasis on the comprehensive needs of all citizens, ultimately marginalizing transportation options for those of lower socio-economic status. The experience in Cali can be understood as a case of consolidation of inequality at the street level. A historical review of Cali's urbanization process demonstrates that cycling as a mode of transportation has been losing social and physical space. Analysis of the political economy of more recent economic development initiatives suggest that the City, in responding to the demands of globalization, and in conjunction with international financial agencies and national government support has implemented a Bus Rapid Transit system and a set of megaprojects which marginalize bike commuters, particularly those who bike out of economic necessity. Although bike commuters recognize economic and health and time-saving benefits of biking to themselves as individuals they also experience daily travel in Cali as a classed, problematic, stigmatized, and transitory activity. From an environmental justice perspective, the resulting impact on residents, particularly, those of lower socioeconomic stratum, unmasks the uneven distribution of environmental benefits and harms. The marginalization of biking as a means of transportation in urban areas in Latin America may be understood as a social injustice similar to the deprivation of parks, schools, health services, or housing endured by residents of lower socioeconomic status.

Mais precisamente estabelecemos um dicionário entre a teoria de calibre da mecânica quântica de uma partícula carregada sujeita a um campo eletromagnético e o estudo das conexões em fibrados por círculos e por retas complexas. Em seguida, analisamos dois objetos de estudo em física utilizando o conhecimento adquirido no estudo da geometria de espaços fibrados. As classes de Chern e a holonomia de uma conexão nos fornecerão uma visualização geométrica de, respectivamente, monopolos magnéticos e o efeito Aharonov-Bohm.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Hábitat Residencial / La propuesta es una investigación básica que indaga sobre el hábitat residencial en poblaciones de bajos recursos de la ciudad de Cali y su relación con los proyectos de vivienda social producto de la implementación de políticas públicas. El objetivo principal es identificar qué aspectos determinantes de las propuestas de proyectos de viviendas sociales (físico–espacial, políticos, sociales y económicos), contribuyen a potenciar o deprimir el hábitat residencial de los pobladores. Identificándolos desde el estudio de las ransformaciones que los pobladores hacen en sus viviendas y entornos. No es desconocido para todos los que habitamos las ciudades latinoamericanas el hecho de que las personas transformen sus viviendas y su entorno inmediato de acuerdo a sus propias necesidades, en post de mejorar la calidad de su hábitat. Proceso que no siempre es apreciado por los profesionales de la arquitectura que trabajan el tema de la vivienda social, por perjuicios estéticos que no dejan reconocer el valor que tiene identificar estos fenómenos, para luego incorporarlos en el diseño de futuras propuestas mas acordes con las necesidades de los habitantes. Para el logro de este propósito, esta investigación propone involucrar a un profesional de las ciencias sociales que brinde asesoría en la aplicación de técnicas para hacer investigaciones cualitativas, que complemente y enriquezca la propuesta hecha desde la arquitectura. El resultado esperado es producir un modelo de análisis que sea aplicable al estudio de otros casos; locales, regionales, nacionales e internacionales. A partir del cual se pueda dar cuenta del estado del hábitat residencial en estos ámbitos y se generen recomendaciones para futuros desarrollos de proyectos de vivienda dirigidos a poblaciones de bajos recursos. También se espera contribuir al conocimiento y divulgación del tema de estudio y poder replicar ese conocimiento en la academia a través de cursos en pregrado y posgrado, estudiantes que participen en la investigación y más directamente con profesionales y organismos estatales involucrados en la acción habitacional.

The trend in medical education and in general, among health professionals, is based, on the current changes of health systems aimed to improve relevance equity, and cost effectiveness of health care. With respect to human health resources, there is lack of agreement among the competence level, performance and the needs of both the system using them and the target population. Therefore, it is important and necessary to consider both the community and health services as partners in the task of defining these changes and in the provision of health services to meet the above mentioned criteria. / The main purpose of this partnership is to encourage efforts to promote, oversee, and apply the actions in each one of the instances in order to improve training of human resource, strengthen local health systems, and empower the communities. Human resource competence and performance, the capacity to provide services, and the degree of community participation and commitement to health, are key elements in improving service quality. / The philosophy of current curricula reform at the Valle University stresses the partnership relationship between academic institutions, services centers, and the community, in the training of health professionals. The proposed investigation focuses on the community-based training aspect of student performance assessment and its relation to the health care system and academia. Specifically, the study will focus on designing valid and reliable instruments for community assessment of student performance, using both qualitative and quantitative aspects of data collection and analysis to assess "patient satisfaction" as an indicator of quality of care. / The results of this study demonstrate that the proposed assessment activity will allow the educational and health services institutions to have relevant and dynamic information as feedback for planning and adjustment of their programs. At the same time, it will allow the community to participate in an effective way in aspects related to their health care. The results of this study will be used as a basis for producing guidelines for involving communities (users) in the health care students evaluation process.

Neste sentido, os processos eficientes de planejamento e de gestão de bacias hidrográficas, contribuem substancialmente para a consolidação e desenvolvimento de contextos de bens e serviços. Há uma estreita relação entre o desenvolvimento de áreas metropolitanas e a gestão dos sistemas hierárquicos das bacias hidrográficas. O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta metodológica para avaliar a relação entre a funcionalidade das bacias hidrográficas e a conformação de duas áreas metropolitanas, no Brasil e na Colômbia, mediante uma análise comparativa dos arcabouços normativos e institucionais aplicados. Para isso, seguindo o modelo Pressão-Estado-Resposta, foram selecionadas três variáveis de pressão nas bacias (mudanças nas coberturas das terras, usos urbanos em fundos de vale, variabilidade climática) e quatro variáveis de estado (abastecimento de água, perda de solos, produção de serviços ecossistêmicos, estrutura ecológica da paisagem fluvial). Seguidamente, se avaliou e comparou os mecanismos de resposta normativa e institucional metropolitanos. Entre os resultados, se destaca uma abundante normativa, em ambos casos, focada na proteção das bacias com objetivos de produção hídrica, mas insuficientes para controlar as ocupações irregulares, decorrentes da especulação imobiliária das metrópoles. No caso brasileiro há uma relação mais coesiva entre a funcionalidade das microbacias abastecedoras e a projeção do desenvolvimento metropolitano, inserido em um sistema de gestão hídrico maior, concluindo-se que, o sucesso dessa integração está relacionado, entre outros fatores, com o cumprimento das funções institucionais por componentes ambientais e não por jurisdições territoriais, como no caso da Colômbia. / The demographic and urban population growth of South America is reflected in the increase of conurbations, in the consolidation of metropolitan areas and in the increase of demands of infrastructure and resources. In this sense, efficient watershed management processes contribute substantially to the consolidation and development of metropolitan contexts through the provision of goods and services, that is, there is a close relationship between the development of metropolitan areas and the management of the hierarchical systems of the watersheds. This research presents a methodological proposal to evaluate the relationship between watershed functionality and the conformation of two metropolitan areas, in Brazil and Colombia, through a comparative analysis of the normative and institutional structures applied for each case. For that, based on the Pressure-State-Response model, three pressure variables were selected about basins (changes in land cover, urban uses in valley bottoms, climatic variability) and four state variables (supply of water, soil loss, production of ecosystem services, ecological structure of the river landscape), then the metropolitan normative and institutional response mechanisms were evaluated and compared. Among the results of the comparison, there is an abundance of normativity, in both cases, regarding the protection of watersheds with water production objectives, but insufficient to control, for example, the irregular occupations resulting from real estate speculation typical of the metropolises. In Brazil there is a more cohesive relationship between the functionality of the supplying microbasins and the projections of metropolitan development, which in turn are part of a larger water management system. These results allow us to conclude that the success of the integration between the two contexts is related, among others, to the fulfillment of the institutional functions by environmental components and not by territorial jurisdiction as it is done in Colombia. / El crecimiento demográfico y de población urbana de América del Sur se refleja en el aumento de conurbaciones, en la consolidación de áreas metropolitanas y en el incremento de demandas de infraestructura y de recursos. En este sentido, los processos eficientes de planificación y gestión de cuencas hidrográficas contribuyen substancialmente a la consolidación y desarrollo de los contextos metropolitanos mediante la provición de bienes y servicios, es decir, hay una estrecha relación entre el desarrollo de áreas metropolitanas y la gestión de los sistemas jerarquicos de las cuencas hidrográficas. El presente trabajo presenta una propuesta metodológica para evaluar las relaciones entre la funcionalidade de las cuencas hidrográficas y la conformación de dos áreas metropolitanas, en Brasil y Colombia, mediante un análisis comparativo de las estructuras normativas e institucionales aplicadas para cada caso. Para eso, con base en el modelo Presión-Estado-Respuesta se seleccionaron tres variables de presión sobre las cuencas (cambios en las coberturas de la tierra, usos urbanos en los fondos de valle, variabilidad climática) y cuatro variables de estado (abastecimiento de agua, perdida de suelos, producción de servicios ecosistémicos, estrutura ecológica del paisaje fluvial), seguidamente se evaluacon y compararon los mecanismos de respuesta normativa e institucional metropolitana. Entre los resultados de la comparación se destaca la abundante normatividade, en los dos casos, respecto a la protección de las cuencas con objetivos de producción hídrica, pero insuficientes para controlar, por ejemplo, las ocupaciones irregulares resultantes de la especulación inmobiliária propia de las metrópoles. En el Brasil hay una relación más cohesiva entre la funcionalidade de las microbacias abastecedoras y las projecciones del desarrollo metropolitano, que a su vez hacen parte de un sistema de gestión hídrica mayor. Estos resultados permiten concluir que el éxito de la integración entre los dos contextos está relacionado, entre otros, con el cumplimiento de las funciones institucionales por componentes ambientales y no por jurisdicción territorial como se realiza en Colombia. / CAPES PEC-PG 15042-12-0
