Giant planets ran amok soon after Solar System ’s birth
In its youth, the Solar System underwent a momentous upheaval: Gravitational tugs between the giant planets threw them off-track, causing Jupiter’s orbit to jump closer to the Sun, while Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were flung outward. The gravity of the rampaging giants scattered Pluto and other icy bodies to the Kuiper belt, shepherded the asteroid belt into its current location, and sent countless bodies crashing into the inner Solar System.
For many years, researchers believed this “giant planet instability” occurred 600 million years after the Solar System’s birth 4.57 billion years ago, based on the ages...

Pediatric anesthesiology in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico
CONCLUSIONS: Brazil an upper middle-income country, population 203 million, has a public system insufficiently resourced and a private system, resulting in inequitable safety and accessibility. Surgical complications constitute the third leading cause of mortality. Anesthesiology residency is 3 years, with required rotations in pediatric anesthesia; five hospitals offer pediatric anesthesia fellowships. Anesthesiology is a physician-only practice. A Pediatric Anesthesia Committee within the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology offers education through seasonal courses and workshops including pediatric advanced life support....

When my neighborhood woke up: Knitting collective action in disadvantaged areas amid the 2019 Chilean uprising.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 30(1), Feb 2024, 117-127; doi:10.1037/pac0000706October 2019 saw the birth of the largest wave of demonstrations to hit Chile in the last 50 years. Protesters, the length of the country, soon joined in, voicing a broad range of demands and driving what has been described as a true “awakening” at the local level. This local dimension of the protests—that is, the events that took place at the neighborhood level—has been overlooked by recent studies of the conflicts that erupted in major cities across Chile and the nationwide demands that came with them. However, ma...

School as a contested territory for citizenship: An ethnographic study of illegal occupation and protest processes at a popular vocational education school in the chilean october.
This article presents the results of an ethnographic study conducted at a vocational school in the marginalized suburbs of the Santiago metropolitan area, focused on analyzing how the practices and discourses that students deployed at the school challenge the definition of school and the citizen practices inside of it, and through these, make the school a public space. The results show that the situated response practices undertaken by the students served to contest and transform the school space, redefining the concept of citizenship, in the sense that student mobilization challenged the conceptualizations of citizenship ...

Breakdown and reform: the Chilean road to the creation of ministries of hygiene and social welfare 1892-1931
This article suggests that it is possible to identify two distinct trends in the creation of health ministries in Latin America. The first, of an early nature, was seen principally in Central America and the Caribbean in countries dependent on or under the influence of the United States which, from the 1880s, promoted health Pan-Americanism. The second trend, which became apparent from 1924, was characterised by the emergence of ministries in a context of institutional breakdown and the appearance of new actors (military or populist leaders). This second trend was first seen in Chile in 1924. This article analyses the crea...

Evolution of Depressive Symptoms Among Depression Subtypes of Clinical and Functional Variables in Primary Care in Chile
CONCLUSION: These results provide additional evidence of a complex depression subtype in primary care in Chile associated with adverse childhood experiences, that had worse resolution of depressive symptoms. Contrary to expectations, patients belonging to this group did not receive further medical and psychological interventions, probably due to a lack of specific clinical recommendations.PMID:38584447 | DOI:10.1177/21501319241241476 (Source: Primary Care)

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1654: Antimicrobial Activity and Phytochemical Characterization of Baccharis concava Pers., a Native Plant of the Central Chilean Coast
In conclusion, the extracts of B. concava showed strong antimicrobial activity, probably due to the presence of metabolites derived from phenolic acids, such as caffeoylquinic acid, and flavonoids, such as quercetin, which in turn could be responsible for helping with wound healing. In addition, the development of antimicrobial therapies based on the molecules found in B. concava could help to combat infection caused by pathogenic yeasts and Gram-positive bacteria, without affecting the Gram-negative microbiota.

NSF tests ways to improve research security without disrupting peer review
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is spending $571 million to build the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile so astronomers can survey the sky in unprecedented detail for evidence of dark matter and energy. It’s part of the agency’s mission to fund basic research.
But when the telescope sees first light next year, its 3.2-gigapixel camera will also see things the U.S. government might not want disclosed, including spy satellites and other military hardware that could pose a threat to the United States. So do the data it collects need to be restricted in some way?
In response to pressure from Congress...
