The author analyzes the lone- someness of the main characters of the novel through the nar- IMPRESO EN ESPAÑA POR: Albatros Comunicación, S.L. rative style of stream of consciousness. This novel is considered one of the best works of Virginia Woolf as she goes deep into human psychology and English society at the time describing the difficulties one has to go through to survive in this world. This essay focuses on how Woolf´s narrative technique affects our perception of the characters and their thoughts. 24 DEROGACIÓN DE LA DOCTRINA PAROT: ¿AMENAZA SOCIAL? A partir de debates televisivos, titulares, noticias de prensa, revistas de derecho penal y criminología e instrumentos jurídicos tales como la Constitución, Pactos Internacionales y la CEDH; se llegó a la idea de que su derogación supuso graves consecuencias sociales, entre las que destaca la vulnerabilidad por parte de las víctimas. Sumario Página 3 34 TO WHAT EXTENT WAS THE RECENT MARITIME CONFLICT BETWEEN PERU AND CHILE THE RESULT OF THE TERRITORIAL DISPUTE OVER TACNA AND ARICA CONSIDERING THE MARITIME CONFLICT’S HISTORICAL, POLITICAL,SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CAUSES? This essay will try to answer the question, evaluating four of the main causes involved in the maritime dispute. These are the historical, political, social and economic causes. As well, a possible cause - consequence relation with the territorial conflict will be established. 50 ARQUITECTURA DEL FUTURO. ¿EN QUÉ MEDIDA SON COMPATIBLES LA SOSTENIBILIDAD ECOLÓGICA Y LA BELLEZA EN LA ARQUITECTURA? Hoy en día, y de cara a un futuro mejor, la arquitectura está evolucionando a pasos de gigante en busca de la sostenibilidad ecológica y la minimización del impacto de los edificios en el medio ambiente. Todo esto sin olvidar, evidentemente, la meta artística, es decir, la belleza arquitectónica. Dicho esto, podría definirse el objetivo de la arquitectura del futuro como la creación de espacios en los que la sostenibilidad y la belleza serán compatibles y esta concurrencia dependerá, sobre todo, del arquitecto y de su equipo. 60 MODELING THE EMPTYING PERIOD OF AN OUTFLOW CLEPSYDRA (WAT ER CLOCK) This extended essay studies the emptying of an outfl ow clepsydra, a type of water clocks whose emptying periods (the time it takes the clock to get empty) were taken as a measure of time. In particular, this essay tries to model and evaluate experimentally an equation for estimating the emptying period of a clepsydra with the shape of a truncated cone with an orifi ce on the centre of its base. The author combines a theoretical and an empirical approach to achieve his objective. Página 4 Sumario Mejores monografías de Bachillerato Internacional Or Tj5 78 EULER’S IDENTITY. EXTENDED ESSAY ON MATHEMATICS Complex numbers are those which somehow involve √-1. Those numbers have no value, meaning that they cannot be expressed either as fractions, or as decimals, not even using approximations. This is the reason why the author wondered how they could be useful and how to operate with them. They are broadly used in many different fields of mathematics and even in other areas, especially in those sciences and engineering with a great mathematical base. 96 ¿EN QUÉ MEDIDA SE PUEDEN CONSIDERAR ARTE LAS ANIMACIONES GRÁFICAS? El arte ha ido unido de la mano a la humanidad desde los inicios de esta, y al igual que ella, ha evolucionado. Como consecuencia, tenemos que nuevas disciplinas se han incluido dentro de él en los últimos siglos. No obstante, como en cualquier cambio siempre hay gente reticente a él, en este caso personas que se oponen a que las nuevas tecnologías sean consideradas arte. En esta monografía se tratará de determinar hasta qué punto son válidos los argumentos de esa sección de la población contraria a la consideración de nuevos medios tecnológicos tales como los videojuegos como arte. Or Tj5 Mejores monografías de Bachillerato Internacional Sumario Página 5 Editorial El lector tiene delante una nueva edición de Orbis Tertius Junior, una revista que es fi el refl ejo del extraordinario y riguroso trabajo de investigación que desarrollan nuestros alumnos en el marco del Programa de Diploma del Bachillerato Internacional (IB). Para la comunidad educativa SEK es una satisfacción presentarles una muestra representativa del esfuerzo, la ilusión y el empeño por aprender que nuestros docentes y estudiantes ponen, cada día, en el aula. Se trata de una selección de las monografías que han obtenido mejor califi cación en los exámenes de mayo de 2015. Son trabajos originales realizados por los alumnos de último año de bachillerato. Las monografías, cumpliendo los requerimientos que establece del Programa de Diploma, son trabajos de investigación realizados por los alumnos, con elección en el tema y con el imperativo de no superar las 4.000 palabras. El objetivo –de acuerdo con las directrices del IB– es “fomentar el desarrollo de habilida- des de nivel superior en materia de investigación, redacción, descubrimiento intelectual y creatividad”. Estos proyectos de investigación representan, en realidad, un auténtico reto para sus autores, jóvenes que cursan el último año de su educación escolar. Elegir una línea de investigación, documentarse, indagar y descubrir constituye en sí mismo un enriquecedor ejercicio intelectual que permite al alumno poner a prueba su constancia, su perspicacia y sus capacidades de organización, de com- prensión crítica y de toma de decisiones. En esta apasionante aventura nuestros alumnos no están solos. Cuentan con el inestimable apoyo de profesores que les orientan en el proceso de aprendizaje, les guían y les aconsejan en su investiga- ción, les alientan a perseguir los objetivos prestablecidos y alientan a encontrar el modo de contrastar las hipótesis planteadas. Quiero felicitar sinceramente a todos los alumnos que pusieron lo mejor de sí en estas monografías y obtuvieron el reconocimiento del IB por la labor desarrollada. Editar esta revista y publicar algunos de los trabajos más valiosos es la mejor manera que encontramos en SEK International Schools de agradecer el afán de superación intelectual que ha guiado a nuestros alumnos y que destila, desde luego, cada una de las páginas de estas monografías. Con iniciativas como la presente, nuestros alumnos aprenden que la paciencia, la cultura del esfuer- zo, la refl exión y la perseverancia son, en la vida, grandes aliados para la consecución de nuestros grandes desafíos e ilusiones. Sintiéndome honrada y orgullosa del trabajo de nuestros alumnos, los invito a leer estas monografías que seguramente les van a sorprender gratamente.

Chile) case.1 This judgment addresses a number of important issues in relation to the delimitation of maritime bound- aries, including the treatment of existing maritime boundaries, the use of the three-stage methodology and the procedure of the ICJ. This contribution out- lines the background to the dispute and aims to analyse the main issues arising from the judgment. Background to the Dispute The maritime dispute between Peru and Chile can be traced back to the time the countries obtained independence from Spain. However, it was the discov- ery of guano along the coastline of the Atacama Desert and the subsequent inland exploration for nitrate that contributed to the territorial tensions in the region, and which ultimately changed the political map of South America. The War of the Pacific (1879–1883) between Chile and the joint forces of Peru and Bolivia2 resulted in a redrawing of the boundaries, with Peru and Chile emerging as new neighbours.3 The Treaty of Peace and Friendship (‘Treaty of 1 Maritime Dispute (Peru v Chile) Judgment of 27 January 2014, available at: <http://www.icj-cij. org/docket/files/137/17930.pdf > (hereafter Peru/Chile). 2 Bolivia withdrew from the war in November 1879.

Chile) Summary of the Judgment of 27 January 2014 Chronology of the procedure (paras. 1-15) The Court recalls that, on 16 January 2008, the Republic of Peru (hereinafter “Peru”) filed in the Registry of the Court an Application instituting proceedings against the Republic of Chile (hereinafter “Chile”) in respect of a dispute concerning, on the one hand, “the delimitation of the boundary between the maritime zones of the two States in the Pacific Ocean, beginning at a point on the coast called Concordia . the terminal point of the land boundary established pursuant to the Treaty . of 3 June 1929” and, on the other, the recognition in favour of Peru of a “maritime zone lying within 200 nautical miles of Peru’s coast” and which should thus appertain to it, “but which Chile considers to be part of the high seas”. I. GEOGRAPHY (para. 16) The area within which the delimitation sought is to be carried out lies in the Pacific Ocean. In that region, Peru’s coast runs in a north-west direction from the starting-point of the land boundary between the Parties on the Pacific coast and Chile’s generally follows a north-south orientation.

    POLISH REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW 2015, Vol. 4, Issue 2 THE ICJ JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OF A MARITIME DISPUTE BETWEEN PERU AND CHILE – SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONDUCT OF STATES Joanna Połatyńska* 1. Introduction On 16.1.2008, the Republic of Peru filed in the Registry of the International Court of Justice in the Hague (hereinafter “the ICJ”, “the Court”) an application instituting proceedings against the Republic of Chile in respect of a dispute concerning, on the one hand, “the delimitation of the boundary between the maritime zones of the two States in the Pacific Ocean, beginning at a point on the coast called Concordia” and, on the other, the recognition in favour of Peru of a “maritime zone lying within 200 nautical miles of Peru’s coast” and which should thus appertain to it, “but which Chile considers to be part of the high seas”. The dispute is one of a long line of controversies arising from the Pacific War La( Guerra del Pacífico, 1879-1883), a conflict over control of the nitrate industry in the Atacama desert, which has marred the two States’ relations since the late 19th century. The Pacific War is still remembered painfully in the societies of both States, so the public response to the ICJ’s judgment has been loud and often rather emotional. Apart from public * Professor Joanna Połatyńska, Department of International Law and International Relations, Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Łódź 105 Joanna Połatyńska outcry, in the weeks leading up to the Court’s decision, both parties pub- licly stated that they would comply with the Court’s judgment whatever it might have been.

  • The Chilean Naval Mutiny of 1931
    1 THE CHILEAN NAVAL MUTINY OF 1931 Submitted by Carlos René Manuel Tromben Corbalán to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History, September 2010 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signature) ......................................................................................... 2 ABSTRACT 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.

ISBN(ENG): 978-99974-41-71-3 Reproduction in whole or in part is permitted provided the source is acknowledged. La Paz, Bolivia 2015 EVO MORALES AYMA CONSTITUTIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE PLURINATIONAL STATE OF BOLIVIA “The sea we are claiming as a matter of justice is a sea for the people […] a sea for the Great Fatherland; the Bolivian people shall never renounce the sea, Bolivia shall never be at peace so long as the maritime issue remains unresolved, because giving a solution to this kind of issues is a part of integration”. Evo Morales Ayma Speech delivered on 23 March 2014 (Annex 20) PRESENTATION More than a century has passed since Chile invaded the Bolivian Department of Litoral, waging a war among three sister nations and imprisoning Bolivia in forced geographic confinement. Ever since, several Chilean Presidents and Foreign Ministers have understood that Bolivia should not be cloistered up forever after in the heart of South America, undertaking to negotiate with Bolivia on a sovereign access to the sea. Today, and as it has always done, my country is claiming a peaceful solution to its landlocked condition. We have therefore appealed to the International Court of Justice to resolve, by law, this dispute that is hindering Latin American integration. The Book of the Sea is a reflection of the feelings of all Bolivian men and women to share with the international community and all nations of the world the causes behind the invasion and war; the main commitments undertaken by Chile to negotiate a sovereign access to the Pacific with Bolivia; the reasons why Bolivia has decided to appeal to international jurisdiction to find a solution to its landlocked condition; and the damages Bolivia has endured on account of its confinement from the sea.
