González Q., Cristian [Parte I Análisis estratégico y de mercado], Prieto Farías, Marcio[Parte II Análisis organizativo financiero]
Chile, un país emergente y en vías de desarrollo, ha visto como en los últimos 10 años la llegada de estudiantes extranjeros ha aumentado considerablemente. Nuestro país ha pasado del completo anonimato a ser una opción muy atractiva para este tipo de estudiantes, que desean realizar sus programas de intercambio académico, y a su vez, aprovechar su estadía para conocer y recorrer este rincón de Sudamérica. Un estudio realizado a 10 Universidades de nuestro país, refleja que en el primer semestre de 2013 el número de alumnos extranjeros en Chile ha aumentado un 21% a igual período de 2012. De la misma forma, estudios y distintas iniciativas convergen en que la proyección de crecimiento para este nicho de mercado bordeará en los próximos años el 18%. De acuerdo a lo anterior, hemos detectado que existe un nicho importante al cual podemos atacar: “Jóvenes extranjeros de pregrado” que tienen la intención de permanecer un periodo de tiempo determinado en Chile. Nuestra compañía, CEC (Chile Exchange Community), actuará como intermediador entre el cliente y el proveedor ofreciendo distintas opciones de servicios turísticos basados en viajes, paseos y excursiones dentro del país, actividades culturales, así como también, actividades de entretención sana orientadas al estudiante extranjero de pregrado. Como creación de valor, brindaremos servicios de apoyo al estudiante basado en necesidades insatisfechas previamente identificadas, tales como asesoría en la búsqueda de alojamiento así como también entrega de información útil al estudiante extranjero dirigida a una mejor adaptación en su llegada y estadía durante su permanencia en nuestro país. Ofreceremos servicios muy similares a nuestra competencia, no obstante nuestra diferenciación se basará en la especialización y conocimiento del cliente y en generar diversas instancias para que el estudiante extranjero desarrolle distintas actividades no cubiertas por la competencia enfocadas al deporte y a la cultura. A su vez, en el mediano plazo, ampliaremos las opciones turísticas con el propósito de que el estudiante extranjero experimente una vivencia distinta y en el largo plazo, teniendo en consideración que el precio es una variable relevante para este nicho especifico de mercado, centraremos nuestros esfuerzos en contar con precios más convenientes que la competencia, mediante diversos mecanismos (control de gastos, redes y convenios con proveedores, eficiencia operacional, etc.) y a su vez, asignando de forma eficiente las responsabilidades hacia nuestro personal, apoyándonos en el outsourcing, lo que se acomoda perfectamente a nuestra forma de operar En base a lo descrito anteriormente, nuestro propósito será que los estudiantes extranjeros de pregrado se sientan, cómodos y a gusto en nuestro país, que disfruten y vivan una experiencia única con servicios orientados en sus necesidades. Riesgos: Dentro de los principales riesgos que presenta el negocio, es un cambio o disminución de los programas impulsados tanto por el gobierno así como las propias universidades. De igual modo, otro riesgo relevante sería contar con una demanda menor a la estimada o bien que los proveedores en su conjunto suban sustancialmente sus precios, afectando negativamente tanto la liquidez como rentabilidad del negocio, sin embargo, para cada uno de estos riesgos hemos definido medidas de mitigación previamente analizadas. Índices Financieros Proyectados: El negocio proyecta un crecimiento sustancial en el margen de utilidad, alcanzando al año 5 un ROE de un 48%. Con una inversión inicial de M$ 11.760, el proyecto nos ofrece un EBITDA promedio al año 5 equivalente a un 24%, el cual en términos monetarios equivale a M$64.085. A su vez, a una tasa de descuento del 20,07%, se logra un VAN de M$18.489, mientras que la inversión se logra recuperar en un período de 4 años. En lo relacionado a la gestión del negocio propiamente tal, observamos una proyección al año 5 de un 48% de rentabilidad sobre nuestros activos y un índice de crecimiento promedio en ventas de un 30%.

This paper presents investigations on integration of Chilean Diaspora in Sweden. Largegroups of Chilean refugees arriving in the 1970s and 1980s in multiple waves. Sweden wasknown as a country with a very generous refugee policy allowing numerous entries to stay.Reflections are made on the refugees in the different waves, the legal view on refugee statusand the division into political and economical refugees. Interviews with Chileans how theyintegrated are included. The questions analysed are if there is any differences in integrationprocess between first and second wave and what the impact was of the first wave beingpolitical and second wave economical refugees. The paper includes a short summary of thehistorical events leading to the flow of refugees, theories behind integration and why languageand identity is important factors in the integration process. The political refugees in the firstwave had a significant influence on the awareness among the Swedish population on thesituation for Chileans after the military coup.

Donoso, María Elena. "The Chilean national identity and the indigenous peoples of Chile." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2004. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/1210/.
Full textAbstract:
This research was prompted by the questions 'What is being Chilean?, Who are tile Chileans? Do all those born in the country feel the same about their nationality and about their fellow nationals? A large number of Chileans will describe their country as culturally and ethnically homogenous, probably because they do not include the native peoples in their description; least of all would they acknowledge that mestizo blood runs in their veins. Therefore, my objective has been to deconstruct the myth homogeneity in the Chilean identity. Moreover, this research, which started as an exploration into tile complex terrain of tile Chilean identity, finally turned into a rather painful soul-searching process. It is obvious that having been born in Chile, it was impossible for me not to become involved, not to feel touched more than once, not to feel guilty more than once. The identities of the indigenous peoples and the descendants of Spanish colonisers have been profoundly transformed during 500 years of social, cultural and political change. Tile rise of the nations states and tile construction of national identities after the wars of Independence were key moments for Latin America, but although no longer tinder colonial rule, the social and cultural differences between 'Indians' and Spaniards continued into the republic, based on the imagined superiority of the Spanish culture, language and religion. Currently Chile, where in recent times - and in the past as well - the military played a crucial role, is in a process of globalisation and reconstruction of the national identity. The research was framed by the understanding that the imagined community of the nation is formed by 'us' and 'them', and a distinction which does not indicate a binary opposition but a complex articulation which both supports and fractures tile nation. In the imagined community of tile Chilean nation identities are multiple and cultures are multiple too. They are constituted in relation to dimensions such as history, place and culture. Geography, in Chile, is also a defining marker of national identity that does not imply inert geography, but an essential dimension in the cultural and social dynamics of tile nation. I challenge the view, long sustained by many Chileans that their country is culturally and ethnically homogeneous. In order to achieve this end I explore the 'skeleton in the cupboard' of the Chilean identity, that is to say, their mestizo origin. With that objective in mind, this research was conceived as a contribution to make Chileans come to terms with the fact that they have some amount of 'Indian' blood in their veins. Only when they are able to take that step, will they be able to appreciate and take pride in the ancient cultures they descend from because in that way they will shed light into that dark comer of their identity. National communities are not only in people's heads or in the imagination of a nation of citizens, but are projected and articulated through channels like the media and educational practice; they are also embodied and practised. From the moment that identity is conceived, not as a fixed ethos formed in a remote past, but as a future project, Chileans great challenge now is to define what they want to be. There may be different projects, alternative proposals and different versions of national identity that will lead on to different roads, but they must include a notion of collective identity that is open to alterity, invention and transgression and also a diversity that Chileans have so far refused to accept.

Galdames, Castillo Ximena. "(Un)doing the Chilean Child and Aunty in a Chilean early years classroom." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2018. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10045606/.
Full textAbstract:
Chile’s history of (neo)colonisation and neoliberalism in education impacted early childhood education (ECE) and its curriculum. Its untroubled philosophical and pedagogical roots promote normalised ideas of ‘childhood’, and the (re)production of a specific subject: ‘the Child’. Consequently, regimes of truth about ‘the Child’ are (re)established in pedagogical and curricular practices. Drawing on Butler’s concept of performativity and Foucault’s understandings of power and discourse, I explored how the Child is not born, but made. During 2013 I spent approximately five months in an EC classroom with 32 young children and four female practitioners. The approach was framed under a postmodern rationale. It was ethnographically informed, which involved participating and observing the everyday routines in the classroom. The ‘data’ that was generated throughout that period was analysed using Haraway’s metaphor of a ‘cat’s cradle’, which had Rapa Nuian influences. This resulted in three Kai-Kai figures, where I (dis)entangled several discourses of ‘the Child’ and ‘the Aunty’. Analysis suggest that ‘the Child’ is made in the ECE classroom, and cannot exist without ‘the Aunty’ (female practitioner), who is accountable for producing child subjects. Both subjects are bound in a binary logic, creating polarised relationships of need and dependency, and care and facilitation. Discourses of ‘the Child’ and ‘the Aunty’ are made through pedagogies informed by the ECE curriculum, produced and regulated by all the subjects, but also resisted and transformed.

Full textAbstract:
The 2006 student movement, termed the Penguin Revolution for the black and white uniforms worn by high school students, and the 2011 student movement, called the Chilean Winter, a reference to the "Arab Spring," have captivated the attention of the media and scholars alike. However, little work has been done to place these student movements into a broader historical context. Historically, Chilean students have had a long record of both general political activism and specific activism over educational matters dating back over 100 years. Even the most recent student protests, which developed into a broader movement against the neoliberal policies implemented under the dictator General Augusto Pinochet, were preceded by demonstrations with similar demands dating back to at least 2000. However, these precedents do not explain why the movements developed between 2000 and 2011, rather than immediately after the fall of the dictatorship in 1990. I argue that part of the reason is because that the students in the twenty-first century were the first ones to attend high school and college who were not raised under the dictatorship and for that reason they did not fear the repression and violence their predecessors, who grew up predominantly under the dictatorship, experienced. Thus, an analysis of the history of student political activism in Chile, the history of Chilean politics, the history of the Chilean education system, and the neoliberal reforms, especially in education, is necessary to provide a historical, political, and social context for the recent student movements.

Peirano, María Paz. "Contemporary Chilean cinema : film practices and narratives of national cinema within the Chilean 'film community'." Thesis, University of Kent, 2015. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/50776/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an anthropological perspective on the film production practices and narratives underlying the construction of contemporary Chilean national cinema. Based on a multi-sited ‘travelling’ ethnography, it reflects on small, peripheral film production in a transnational neoliberal context, where ‘local’ and ‘global’ trends converge, and focuses on the case of Chilean cinema, which has expanded its production, global circulation and exhibition. The research is grounded in the film experiences of the Chilean film community, a network of film professionals (filmmakers, critics, exhibitors and other film agents) involved in the construction of national cinema. The thesis provides a contextually-based perspective on national film, which is uncommon in both Anthropology and Film Studies, seeking to expand the still emerging field of anthropology of cinema. More than as a group of ‘national’ films, Chilean cinema is understood as both an art world and a field of cultural production, arguing that ‘national cinema’ is both a cultural artifact and a social practice, which is constructed in permanent negotiations between Chilean professionals and other agents in the field. The thesis claims that the film experience of Chilean professionals is part of a broader experience of globalisation, and discusses the formation of artistic, professional and national subjectivities in the neoliberal context, where the identity of Chilean ‘national’ cinema is often contested. It then deconstructs the idea of national cinema as a bounded cultural product, highlighting the overlapping social and cultural traits that affect Chileans’ creative processes. The thesis examines the ways in which Chilean professionals have made sense of this transnational context, reshaping both their social performances and their cinematographic imagination. By referring to the case of Chilean cinema, the thesis shows the complexities of building a contemporary peripheral film industry. It discusses the construction of national communities, cultural commodification, precarious global labour conditions, and the role of national and international social networks in media production. It argues that Chilean cinema practices, particularly at international film festivals, evince overlapping narratives of art and business as well as localism and cosmopolitanism, revealing some of the cultural paradoxes of local film production.

Full textAbstract:
Information on the ecology of sympatric species provides important insights into how different animals interact with their environment, with each other, and how they differ in their susceptibility to threats to their survival. In this study habitat use and population ecology of Chilean dolphins (Cephalorhynchus eutropia) and sympatric Peale's dolphins (Lagenorhynchus australis) were investigated in the Chiloe Archipelago in southern Chile from 2001 to 2004. Distribution data collected during systematic boat-based sighting surveys revealed a distinct pattern of small-scale habitat partitioning, probably reflecting differences in foraging strategies and habitat preference. Chilean dolphins were sighted consistently in the same selected bays and channels in southern Chiloe. Peale's dolphins were distributed over wider areas, and were more frequently encountered in central Chiloe. Spatial overlap between both dolphin species and mariculture farms (for mussels and salmon) was extensive. Predictive habitat modelling using logistic regression in a model selection framework proved a useful tool to determine critical habitat from absence-presence data and enviromental parameters. Chilean dolphins preferred shallow waters (< 20 m) close to shore (< 500 m) with estuarine influence. Peale's dolphins also occurred predominantly in shallow nearshore waters, but preferred more exposed shores with sandy shoals and were found further from rivers and mussel farms than Chilean dolphins. Analysis of ranging and movement patterns revealed small-scale site fidelity and small ranging patterns of individually identifiable Chilean dolphins. Individuals differed in their site preference and range overlap suggesting spatial partitioning along environmental and social parameters within the population. Individual Peale's dolphins were resighted less regularly, showed only limited or low site fidelity and seemed to range beyond the boundaries of the chosen study areas. Mark-recapture methods applied to photo-identification data produced estimates of local population sizes of 59 Chilean dolphins (95% CI= 54 - 64) and 78 Peale's dolphins (95% CI= 65 - 95) in southern Chiloe, and 123 Peale's dolphins (95% CI= 97 - 156) in central Chiloe. An integrated precautionary approach to management is proposed based on scientific monitoring, environmental education in local schools, and public outreach to promote appropriate conservation strategies and ensure the dolphins' continued occupancy of important coastal habitat.

Full textAbstract:
On 1st September 1931, the most serious mutiny affecting the Chilean Navy in nearly two centuries of existence broke out. The various books and articles which have examined this subject have used as their sources the local press and the participants´ own stories. Just in a few cases, historians have had access to official documents, because they were seldom published or access was restricted until now. This has led to gross factual mistakes in the existing historiography, leading to questionable interpretations and to the creation of legends still alive in Chile and elsewhere. This thesis discusses these topics. The Chilean Navy has in its archives a collection of 35 volumes (about 9,200 pages) of Courts Martial official documents and proceedings never studied by historians. The author used these sources under a special authorization for academic purposes. The following theories of the causes of the mutiny commonly expounded by contemporaries and subsequent historians have been researched: a. Participation of Marxist groups in the origin of the mutiny and exploitation of it. b. Participation of the two Chilean populist political groups in the movement’s generation (headed by the former presidents Arturo Alessandri and Carlos Ibáñez) c. Army and Navy officers’ participation in politics during 1924 to 1931 and the consequence in the behaviour of the mutineers. Examination has also been made of connections with the mutiny on board HMS Lucia in Devonport in January 1931 which occurred while the Chilean battleship Latorre was being refitted at that port. Months later and being anchored in the port of Coquimbo, Chile, serious mutiny or revolt started on board Latorre and spread to other naval units as well as other Navy’s, Army’s and Air Force’s shore establishments. One week after the Chilean mutiny, the Invergordon mutiny started in the Royal Navy Atlantic Fleet. This thesis also compares both mutinies because they had many aspects in common.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the implementation of a rights-based policy for children in Chile by examining progress within two programs: rights protection and juvenile imprisonment. By applying a combination of organisational and institutional theories, and relying on multiple sites, case-based, qualitative method, this study explores how organizational and cultural dimensions interact to support or hinder this fundamental shift in the framework for children’s policy. Findings showed the role of power as the major device affecting the implementation process. Structural power in organisational arrangements unveiled a prevalent model of top-down implementation, marked by patronage and symbolic implementation. Institutional power exerted in the cultural and normative Chilean context showed a persistent hierarchical society infused with conservative beliefs based in dichotomous conceptions of people. This resulted in policy implementers distinguishing strongly between those they considered worthy or not worthy, good or bad, service provider or user, either or, with no room for overlap and little appreciation of difference as a positive societal feature. Interplay between organisational and cultural variables evidenced the strong legacy of deep-rooted understandings of the place of child care services in family life. Until this legacy can be effectively challenged, the implementation of a rights-based approach will remain partial and ineffective.

Ramírez, Ibaceta Sebastián Eduardo. "Exergy analysis of the chilean society." Tesis, Universidad de Chile, 2017. http://repositorio.uchile.cl/handle/2250/146760.
Full textAbstract:
Ingeniero Civil en BiotecnologíaThe present report contains an exergy analysis of the Chilean society in 2013. Wall s approach was taken to assess the exergy efficiency of four main economic sectors: mining, manufacturing, transportation, and households. Several assumptions were taken to simplify the complex thermodynamic interactions within the society model. For instance, exergy flows among economic sectors were not considered, due to the lack of relevant statistical data on these interactions. On the other hand, only some of the exergy carriers entering and leaving the society were accounted, as the focus of this work is to provide a first outlook of the Chilean exergy efficiency from a chemical exergy standpoint. An extended exergy analysis (EEA) is proposed for future studies, in order to integrate exergy of labor and capital into the analysis. Statistical power plays an important role in this matter, as key data required to perform an EEA is nowadays unavailable. The efficiency of the society in 2013 was 24%. Comparing with other societies, the Chilean case was found to be in between advanced economies and less developed countries. The current development model is criticized, as the most developed countries previously analyzed have the lowest thermodynamic efficiency. In the long term, a shift of paradigm is expected, fostering local development and educating about resources overconsumption. Regarding Chilean economic sectors, exergy efficiency was found to be higher in extractive activities, such as mining (53%), and manufacturing (53%). In general, exergy efficiency was lower in services and end-use sectors, such as transportation (21%), and households (10%). This is considered to be related with omission of labor in the analysis, as end-use sectors show a higher dependency on human work compared to industrial/extractive activities. Despite of methodological difficulties, interesting suggestions were obtained from the analysis. Structural changes are proposed in the manufacturing sector, to improve the efficiency of transformations carried out in agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture activities. Food industry as a whole would improve its thermodynamic performance if steps in this direction were taken. Likewise, fostering a technological shift towards electric vehicles would imply a much better use of the available resources. In the same way, improvements in water and space heating are desirable, as these two end-uses are the most exergy intensive applications in household consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail a comme objectif de reconstruire, à travers les annonces publicitaires parues dans la presse de l’époque, un pan de l’histoire cinématographique chilienne jusqu’ici relativement peu étudié et pourtant fondamental : le spectacle cinématographique muet à Santiago du Chili pendant les années 1920 – 1929, une décennie clé pour le cinéma national.Cette recherche utilise comme source principale les journaux El Mercurio de Santiago et El Diario Ilustrado. L’analyse des annonces publicitaires des salles de cinéma parues respectivement dans ces journaux, archives riches en contenu et qui participent du dialogue intertextuel et interculturel, a été le pilier fondamental de cette recherche.C’est par l’étude du spectacle cinématographique, des salles de projection, des cinémas et de leurs exploitants et leurs répercussions dans la presse écrite des années vingt, que ce travail, qui s’inscrit dans ce que Bongers appelle la « discusivacion del cine », initie, à notre sens, une approche nouvelle de cette mémoire culturelle que constitue le cinéma.Cette perspective amène à questionner précisément le rôle joué par la production cinématographique nationale, l’une des plus dynamiques dans l’histoire du cinéma chilien, et par la censure dans le spectacle cinématographique tel qu’il se construit à cette époque.Notre recherche aborde des sujets qui concernent la naissance du cinéma chilien, le début de la sédentarisation du spectacle cinématographique dans la capitale du Chili et le rôle socialisateur des salles de cinéma, la politique tarifaire appliquée par leurs exploitants, les productions cinématographiques locales et le rapport de ce spectacle avec la presse de l’époqueThe purpose of this work is to reconstruct, through the study of advertisements published in the press of the time, a part of Chilean film history that is so far relatively unstudied, but nevertheless fundamental: the silent film show in Santiago, Chile during the 1920 - 1929.This research uses as it's main sources the newspapers El Mercurio de Santiago and El Diario Ilustrado. The analysis of cinema advertisements published in these content-rich newspapers, which contribute to intertextual and intercultural dialogue, were the fundamental pillar of this research.It is through the study of the cinematographic show, projection rooms, cinemas and their operators, as well as and their repercussions in the press of the 20s, that this work, which is part of what Bongers calls the "discusivacion del cine", initiates in our opinion, a new approach to the cultural memory that constitutes the cinema.This perspective leads to a precise questioning of the role played by production one of the most dynamic in the history of Chilean cinema, and by censorship in the film show as it was being constructed at that time.Our research addresses topics related to the birth of Chilean cinema, the beginning of the sedentarisation of the cinematographic show in the Chilean capital and the socializing role of cinemas as well as the price policy applied by their operators, local film productions and the relationship of this show with the press of the time

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores representations of landscape in Chilean fiction cinema from 2008 to 2014, through a corpus drawn from the so-called novisimo cine chileno, a generation of young filmmakers who have attracted significant critical attention both within Chile and on international festival and arthouse circuits. The thesis is built on close readings of the selected films within a conceptual framework informed by interdisciplinary perspectives from the developing field of landscape studies. It aims to show how these cinematic landscapes function beyond the limitations of narrative setting or symbolic imagery and are instead represented in ways which capture landscape's processual, experiential and polysemic nature, which in turn throws light on landscape as an approach to a wide range of thematic concerns within these films. It begins by placing the selected corpus within a broader cultural history of the Chilean landscape and maps out the conceptual framework which will be applied and developed through the thesis, considering landscape as experience and process, as well as image. The thesis then sets out the foundations for the thesis' close readings by demonstrating how such a conceptual approach can reveal the inherent tensions of film landscapes - between being inside and outside, contemplation and immersion, proximity and distance - and can also uncover the multisensory and embodied aspects of landscapes on screen, with particular attention to the roles of sound and haptic imagery. In the remainder of the thesis, this approach to landscape is developed through further close analysis of selected films in order to demonstrate how landscape functions in relation to certain thematic concerns - what contact between body and landscape reveals about materiality and mortality, how the cinematic landscape both invites and resists its framing as territory, and how film as a medium has a particular capacity to evoke the multiple temporalities at work within landscape. As a whole, the thesis works to illuminate the aesthetic, formal, narrative and thematic functions of landscape in the chosen films and argues for the usefulness of interdisciplinary conceptual approaches in the study of cinematic landscapes in order to reach a more nuanced understanding of film's representation of the relation of people and place.

Full textAbstract:
An emerging body of research is paying a particular attention into the family life of lesbian mothers who live in Latino countries. These studies have revealed how the cultural understandings of gender, sexuality and homophobia and the political/legal context have constrained the family experiences of Latina lesbian mothers. Notwithstanding, these studies have failed to recognize possible linkages between religious discourses and family of origin influences on understandings of lesbian motherhood within a Latino context. Latino societies hold a strong Christian religious heritage, with the Catholic Church being historically influential on national legislation that privileges heteronormative assumptions of family formation. By exploring the case of Chile, this thesis aims to examine how understandings of lesbian motherhood are constructed within the context of a strongly Catholic, and to some extent Evangelical, Latino society. The thesis details findings from three empirical, qualitative studies, within a life course theory perspective. Data from 29 participants collected through individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups were analysed. The first study used individual interviews and Narrative Analysis to explore the stories of sexual identity and motherhood of eight lesbian mothers who conceived their children within the context of a previous heterosexual relationship. The study found that participants struggled to express their same-gender feelings because lesbian women were often seen as "sick" or "deviant" and inappropriate models of motherhood. The second study used focus groups and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore the expectations of motherhood of a younger cohort of six lesbian and bisexual prospective mothers. The study revealed that participants thought that it would be difficult to deal with Chilean society as mothers because the same-gender attraction was still seen as a perversion/abnormality by some people within their family of origin and their social contexts. The third study investigated contemporary Chilean attitudes towards lesbian and gay parenting using Thematic Analysis of focus group data from 15 heterosexual women who were first-year psychology students in an evening university program. The study revealed that a minority of participants had worries that having same-gender parents could disrupt children's gender and sexual orientation development. It is concluded that despite an increasing level of acceptance of “homosexuality” in Chile, lesbian mothers were still regarded as "immoral" models for children by some heterosexual people, particularly those who had a Christian religious background. These moral discourses had a strong impact on what lesbian and bisexual participants felt they could reasonably do or on what they expected to happen by living in Chilean society as a mother.

This paper aims to review the model of transitional justice applied in Chile as part of a growing critical assessment has been formulating the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its jurisprudence about the way that the states resolve the issues of truth, justice, reparation of victims and institutional design in processes of democratic transition and democratic consolidation. We will try to show that the conflict is a consequence of the characteristics of gross and systematic violations and political limits imposed transitional processes characteristics. The way this tension is resolved is what sets a model of transitional justice that fulfill or not the international standards on human rights.Este estudio busca revisar el modelo de justicia transicional aplicado en Chile en el marco de una creciente evaluación crítica que ha ido formulando la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, en su jurisprudencia, contenciosa de la forma en que los Estados resuelven los temas de verdad, justicia, reparación de las víctimas y cambios al diseño institucional en procesos de transición democrática o consolidación democrática. Se intentará demostrar que la tensión se produce a partir de las características propias de las violaciones graves y sistemáticas y los límites políticos que imponen los procesos transicionales. La forma en que se resuelve esta tensión es lo que configura un modelo de justicia transicional acorde o no a los estándares internacionales en materia de derechos humanos.

Full textAbstract:
Sweden is well known for receiving both immigrants and refugees. People of Chilean heritage, make up the biggest Latin American group in Sweden with approximate 50 000 residents in Sweden being born in Chile or having at least one parent born in Sweden. Slightly over half of these migrated from Chile. This study will therefore focus on the Chilean integration into a small society, which in this case is Växjö municipality. This study investigates the extent to immigrants are integrated into Swedish society, and seek to understand the problems and obstacles the Chilean immigrants faces regarding social integration. It is a qualitative field study and using semi-structured interviews to understand and analyze the Chilean immigrants’ integration in Växjö on a micro level. There were ten interviews, with five female and five male participants. The interviews were analyzed by using the social integration theory. The findings are complex and demonstrate that most of the participants feel part of Swedish society and that most of them see themselves as integrated into the Swedish society. However, the majority of the participants speak very poor Swedish, and do not socialize with Swedish individuals very much. The findings thus contrast the theoretical idea of integration used as an analytical lens, which almost all participants in this study fails to achieve, with their own worldview that they have integrated into Sweden

Full textAbstract:
The role of education in the formation of citizens, particularly from the perspective of sustainable development, has strongly influenced the Chilean environmental-education curriculum since Chile’s educational reform of the 1990s. The school textbooks provided by the Chilean Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) are an important resource for teachers and students in Chilean public and private-subsidized education. This study explores how Chilean school textbooks for basic-education (elementary years) appear to convey relationships between citizens and the environment. Apart from the Chilean context, similar studies have focused on identifying conceptions and social representations of the environment and the human-environment relationship among students, teachers, curricula, and textbooks. In this study, I specifically explore school textbooks and focus the inquiry on three aspects that appear to link environmental citizenship, sustainability, and education: awareness, values, and civic action. For the purpose of this interpretive study, I conducted a qualitative content analysis to examine the text and images in school textbooks for grades one, four, and eight for two compulsory subjects in Chile: Natural Science and History, Geography, and Social Science. These textbooks seem to represent civic-environmental relationships generally at local and national scales. The textbooks also appear to encourage environmental care mainly as an individual or personal duty and scientific attitudes, skills, and knowledge focusing mostly on material and practical aspects of the human-environmental system. The results of this study intend to advance our knowledge and understanding of how Chilean textbooks for the public and private-subsidized educational systems represent citizen-environment relationships. These representations appear to disconnect humans from dimensions that regard the environment symbolically and promote collective deliberation and participation. This study may guide interested ministries of education and publishers in the production of future school textbooks that may better foster sustainable and participative relationships between citizens and the environment.Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the macroeconomic effects of the earthquake that struck Chile in 2010 and the impact it had on the Chilean economy. It is a narrative case study of a small, open emerging economy and the timeframe is short term. Like other studies made about macroeconomic effects of a natural disaster, it is surprising to find how fast a country can so rapidly recover from a big devastation like the Chilean earthquake 2010. The final economic impact depends on the structural conditions of the economy and the economic policy mix undertaken to handle the short-term effects. The paper shows that despite the big disaster, Chile showed great resilience to the adverse shook due to its sound finances and effective countercyclical policies.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the role of human rights and reformist lawyers in incipient legal mobilisation strategies, as members of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) communities seek to advance and/or uphold their rights through the Chilean judicial system. Given the inaccessibility of the legislative arena for securing legal change, legal mobilisation strategies are increasingly being deployed by civil society actors promoting rights pertaining to sexual diversity. Drawing on legal ethnographic research, I examine the difficulties for members of these populations in securing legal representation and articulating their voice. I examine how individuals overcome barriers, such as mitigating the ‘stigma contagion’, in a highly hetero-normative socio-cultural and political context, and access the necessary legal resources to mount a legal challenge. Scholarship on stigma, deviancy and identity, and social justice serves as the point of departure for studying the interaction between lawyers and claimants. In Chile in the late 2000s, legal mobilisation is emerging and consolidating as a strategy to achieve social and legal change. I analyse the social processes occurring in tandem with aforementioned legal processes. I focus specifically on the role of activist lawyers in ‘brokering’ these cases and how, as a consequence, LGBTI identities are becoming more visible in multiple public domains.

Full textAbstract:
The Chilean scallop Argopecten purpuratus is a commercially important cultured bivalve in both Chile and Peru with annual yields of approximately 37,000 tons. At present no studies have been carried out to investigate the population genetics of this species and therefore genetic management cannot currently be successfully practised. The aims of this study were to provide baseline data for genetic improvements of stocks and the conservation of genetic resources. This was to be achieved by assessing the genetic diversity using microsatellites and mitonchondrial DNA genetic markers. A species-specific mitochondrial DNA primer pair was successfully developed using sequence amplified from PCR primers developed for the clam complex Lasaea. PCR primers were developed for three microsatellite loci successfully isolated from A. purpuratus and one locus was variable and therefore suitable for phylogenetic analysis. The genetic variation of over 150 individual scallops from 5 populations were assayed and a variety of tests were performed on the allele frequencies and sequences. The sequence analysis results provide evidence supporting the existence of two separate, genetically differentiated, stocks in Chile: The Tongoy Bay stock (consisting of the Coquimbo and La Serena samples) and the Antofagasta/Concepcion/Valparaiso stock. It is hypothesised that the anthropogenic introduction of scallops from Tongoy Bay and the Mejillones and the Rinconda stocks into newly established cultures around Puerto Montt combined with the hydrology of the region have acted to cause an extreme form of range expansion. The differentiation observed between the stocks, is considered to result from the replacement of original wild scallops in Tongoy Bay by individuals descended from larvae from cultured individuals. In addition, tests of population expansion suggest recent large increases in scallop numbers. This finding supports the hypothesis of large periodic El Niño induced expansions of A. purpuratus numbers, previously only documented through increases in scallop catches (up to 60% growth).

In the history of the Chilean real estate market, little has been done to study the price dynamic of real estate. Currently, the Chilean industry has two types of residential indices that do not effectively present the available information. One of the existing indices uses the correct methodology (Hedonic Method), but it does not represent the whole metropolitan residential market. The second index has enough data, but the methodology (stratification or mixed adjustment method) is not the most appropriate because of its simplicity, given the great quantity of information available on the market. We briefly review different index methodologies, and base an extensive database on reliable information from the greater Santiago market. We created two types of Hedonic price indices (Pooled and Chained) for residential and commercial real estate, respectively. These hedonic methodologies are based on an econometric model to account for the problem of the heterogeneity of real estate; each property is unique within its characteristics, and should not be read independently. Thus, the objective of an index is to estimate the marginal contribution of those characteristics and generate a quality-adjusted price index. Between the two different results, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology, and why should choose one over the other in each situation. For the most of the results we obtained, they are consistent with the existing indices having nominal return of 98% and 117% for the residential market and 58% for the commercial. Our indices show some subtle differences, and they are based on a more rigorous and sophisticated methodology that is consistent with the recommendations of the Eurostat International CPPI Handbook. Finally, this document should be the first step to internationalize and professionalize the processes of measurement and should be helpful to make better public and private decisions within the Chilean real estate market.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing from a cultural studies perspective, this dissertation examines digital, visual, and idiomatic expressions and platforms that both create and inform youth culture in Chile. In what ways have globalized media trends influenced cultural production, class-consciousness, and identity formation in Chilean youth culture, and how do these expressions mirror a global neoliberal agenda and shed light on a history of economic, political, and religious globalization in Chile? In order to answer these questions, this dissertation provides an interdisciplinary approach to evaluate changing media trends in Latin American youth culture. I argue that cultural influence of the United States and the rise of global neoliberalism have informed the production, reception, dissemination, and identity formation of this segment of Chilean society. This dissertation is organized into four chapters. Chapter 1 provides a historical contextualization of political and economic changes in Chile as well as the literature review and theoretical foundation for my analysis. Chapter 2 contends that the class-consciousness spectrum in Chilean television and film works as a reflection of consumption behavior and identity formation in youth that has been informed by a U.S. neoliberal agenda. Chapter 3 studies one particular young Chilean, Germán Garmendia, and his popular YouTube channel, "Hola Soy German," to argue that the spreadable and invisible factors that inform his global success as a grassroots, "latino" vlogger can be traced to U.S. digital commercialism. And lastly, Chapter 4 highlights digital texts of the student organization, "Chile Siempre," and their stylized performance of moral values through mediatized and digitalized spaces in order to reveal U.S. religious and cultural interventionism through evangelical missionaries in Chile. The triangulation and interdisciplinary approach of these texts expose a consistent history of political, economic, and religious transculturation and calls into question U.S. cultural influence in Chile that continues, while not overtly, to manifest in new media forms.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the results of a study about peer intimidation and victimization with 1167 school students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade from the Valparaiso Region of Valparaíso, Chile. The instrument used was the Insebull Battery (Avilés & Elices, 2007). Results show that approximately 9% of students have been victim of peer victimization many times or almost every day during the school year. Psychological victimization was more frequent thanphysical aggression, particularly through virtual communication such as cell-phone messages and e-mails. Participants tend to be groups of male students. Although male students participate more in physical aggression, they also receive more physical and psychological aggression. The most frequent places were inside the classroom and the school yard, when the teacher is not present. Most students inform not knowing, or vaguely knowing, thereasons underlying these aggressions, and do not do anything to deal with them. These results coincide with international studies and allow a better understanding of the characteristics of peer victimization in specific educational contexts within the Chilean school system.Se presenta un estudio de conductas de intimidación y victmización en 1167 escolares de 6º, 7º y 8º año Básico de la Región de Valparaíso, Chile. Se utilizó la batería Insebull (Avilés &Elices, 2007). Los resultados indican que 9% ha sido víctima del maltrato de sus compañeros bastantes veces o casi todos los días durante el año escolar. El maltrato psicológico es más frecuente que la agresión física, destacándose el uso de medios virtuales. Los participantes suelen ser varones que actúan en grupo. Los lugares más frecuentes son la sala de clases y el patio de recreo, en ausencia del profesor. La mayoría señala no saber, o solo difusamente, las razones que subyacen a estos actos, y no hacer nada frente a actos observados. Estos resultados coinciden con los estudios a nivel internacional, y permiten comprender el maltrato entre pares en contextos específicos de la realidad educativa chilena.

Thesis (M.A. in National Security Affairs)--Naval Postgraduate School, September 2005. Thesis explains why Chile maintains military budgets in excess of its threat levels. Historically, Chile required a well-funded and capable military due to tense regional relations. However, resolution of border conflicts, equipment acquisitions and superior economic performance reduced Chile's threats during the 1990's. Nonetheless, analysts attributed the continued high military budgets to an authoritarian hangover following General Pinochet's reign (1973-1989). Pinochet's 1998 arrest and trial diminished the power of the military, calling into question past explanations. The judiciary purged the state of junta era commanders, younger more flexible leadership came to power and the political parties agreed on constitutional reform. Yet, after sweeping constitutional reforms, budgets remained high. This thesis argues the government maintained defense budgets in order to further the "normalization" of civil-military relations. The military received high budgets and in turn recognized past human right abuses and pledged subordination. With relations stable, both the civilian elite and military agreed to reorient the military's mission towards peacekeeping. Peacekeeping reinforces civil-military relations while benefiting each party individually. The civilian elite receive international prestige furthering their foreign policy goals while the military's mission and budgets are justified. The stable equilibrium guarantees Chile will remain a regional leader in peacekeeping for the future.Thesis Advisor(s): Harold Trinkunas. Includes bibliographical references (p. 61-68).

Full textAbstract:
Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura InglesaThe following thesis reports on a qualitative study of the Estándares Orientadores para Carreras de Pedagogía en Inglés by MINEDUC (2014). Since there are values associated with standards, the creation and application of them entail an ideology that reflects a particular shared vision. Then, the goal of this study is to identify these values in order to understand the ideologies behind the standards for teacher training in Chile, by means of characterising (a) their structure, (b) their content and (c) their social function. The Estándares Orientadores para Carreras de Pedagogía en Inglés consists of 10 standards which state the necessary skills and knowledge an early English teacher should have. These standards were analysed by assigning codes to their content in order to observe general ideas that could be interpreted as ideologies. These ideologies were categorised into three domains: structure, where standards are constructed as principles, declarations and illustrations; content, where it is explained that teachers of English should know, apply, and value their knowledge and abilities; and social function where standards seem to be created as a set of curriculum features, and not as mere guides. Ideologies identified were interpreted also in the light of an interview conducted to the head of standard design team. The ideologies identified in this study are relevant to the discussion of current English teacher training processes in Chile, and the impact that public policies have on the teaching of English in the country.

Full textAbstract:
Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Lingüística mención Lengua InglesaThis work aimed to investigate about the way Chilean students acquire English Prepositions ‘in’, ‘on’, and ‘at’. Through the identification of the most common strategies used by students when choosing one these three prepositions, the researcher aimed to find out about the difficulties the learners face when using those particles. The data analysis is based on the cognitive aspects of interlanguage, as well as some different notions on the learner´s knowledge. This work shows the way modern Linguistics has considered this kind of words and emphasizes their semantic roles. The data was collected through the use of Cloze Tests and interviews made to primary and secondary students from The Deutsche Schule in Los Angeles, Chile. The aim of the researcher with the interviews was to find out about the reasons why the students chose a particular preposition for their cloze tests. The results showed the students used several strategies to choose among ‘in’, ‘on’, and ‘at’, like overgeneralization of basic uses, inference, application of rules, mental images, among others. The researcher could conclude that learners do have tools to deal with the knowledge they already have and the knowledge they do not yet, which may contribute to the development of more appropriate approaches for teaching English prepositions, to make learning a more meaningful process for the students.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThe purpose of this study is to analyze the Chilean Navy acquisition system using the Supply Management Theory elements as a framework. The research describes the Chilean Navy acquisition system based on its current organization, its regulations, and procedures, and the Supply Management foundations act as a theoretical structure to analyze Chilean Navy acquisition systems, whose results are expressed in eight recommendations to improve the Chilean Navy acquisition system. The Supply Management Theory provides a competitive advantage that is applicable to the defense environment in reducing costs, improving combat systems, and increasing efficiencies that accelerate the satisfaction of troop’s requirements. The foundational principles used in the analysis include strategic formulation, performance measurement, supply base optimization and management, and an adequate organizational structure. The Chilean Navy acquisition organization possesses a center-led type organization and follows the Chilean procurement laws, regulations, and procedures to acquire material and contracting services that emphasize the principles of transparency and equality of offers. Those regulations determine that all acquisitions shall be performed under a full and open competition procedure. The analysis results were structured under eight recommendations to improve Chilean Navy acquisition systems and establish the difficulty for the Chilean Navy to establish long-term relationships with suppliers, given regulations that emphasize the principles of transparency and equality of offers.
