Abstract The rent gap theory, a consistent explanation of gentrification in inner‐city spaces, sees growing disparity between capitalized ground (CGR) and potential (PGR) as catalyst for large‐scale property reinvestment thence gentrification. In historical working‐class Santiago's peri‐centre (inner city), not only is there measurable gap, but state‐subsidized market high‐density urban renewal based on the accumulation increased CGR by few developers. This article focuses low‐income...
The increasingly influential post-colonial approach to comparative urban studies helps us see with great detail the richness of an ample array diverse regimes in world. There are so ma...
This special issue, a collection of papers presented and debated at an Urban Studies Foundation-funded workshop on Global Gentrification in London 2012, attempts to problematise contemporary understandings gentrification, which is all too often confined the experiences so-called North, sometimes narrowly understood as classic gentrification. Instead simply confirming rise gentrification places outside usual suspects North America Western Europe, more open-minded approach advocated so not...
Abstract Protein Kinase (casein kinase 2, CK2) is a serine-threonine that frequently dysregulated in many human tumors. Therefore we hypothesized peptides capable of binding to the CK2 acidic domain may exhibit potential anticancer properties. By screening random cyclic peptide phage display library, have identified novel peptide, P15, abrogated phosphorylation by blocking substrate vitro. To verify its antineoplastic effect, P15 was fused cell-penetrating derived from HIV-Tat protein....
Between 2000 and 2012, the Santa Isabel area of Santiago-Centro comuna (municipal district) saw increasing capital concentration in middle-income-oriented, new-build real estate. Whilst large developers devised several ways to pay low land prices original owner-residents, average sale price new apartments rose, reducing amount housing options by at least 50% for low-income residents—a form exclusionary displacement. In parallel, state regulations intensified Floor Area Ratio order anchor...
ResumenFundamentales para la producción neoliberal del espacio urbano son los ajustes técnico-urbanísticos orientados a atracción de capital requerido producir renovación urbana gran escala, factor preponderante pero poco estudiado en Latinoamérica.Tales operaciones municipales propias lo que se conoce como urbanismo pro-empresarial (urban state-entrepreneurialism) o regulación ad hoc uso e intensidad explotación suelo, con generación alianzas público-privadas, inyección lógicas rentabilidad...
En Latinoamérica y Chile, en la última década, se observan intensos procesos de reestructuración urbana zonas pericentrales, con recambio clase social, lo que es comprendido bajo el apelativo "gentrifi cación".El presente artículo ofrece una lectura crítica aspectos teóricos esenciales del fenómeno gentrifi cación, enfatizando distinción resulta regular (sustancial) versus anecdótico o visualmente contingente proceso.Tal defi nición estima útil para entablar un diálogo conceptual más...
Currently, Latin American cities are seeing simultaneous processes of reinvestment and redevelopment in their historic central areas. These not just mega-scale interventions like Porto Maravilha Rio or Puerto Madero Buenos Aires the luxury renovations seen Santa Fé Nueva Polanco Mexico City, they also include state-led, piecemeal, high-rise Santiago, Aires, de Janeiro, Panamá Bogotá, all which causing displacement original populations thus forms gentrification. Until very recently, these...

Contrary to the idea that neighbourhood cohesion is something inherently benefits poor or counterbalances forces of social exclusion, in this article we argue it can also function as a mechanism cumulative advantage. In order explore proposal, offer definition and key dimensions based on three components: place attachment, local relations commitment common good. We test our proposal highly segregated Latin American city: Santiago, Chile. A combination survey data georeferenced information...
Many authors agree that gentrification in Latin America depends on the intervention of state. However, for renovation large urban areas have long lacked public attention, state is a pivotal driver. This comparative analysis involved fieldwork and short ethnographies Mexico, Argentina, Brazil. Results show variations some common threads, namely land valorization policies, schemes designed to promote creation economic opportunities upper-income investors developers, establishment creative or...
Abstract This study examined if a series of epidermal growth factor (EGF) local infiltrations can enhance the healing process complicated diabetic wounds. Twenty‐nine in‐hospital patients with neuropathic or ischaemic lesions high risk amputation were treated in non controlled pilot conducted at National Institute Angiology, Havana. Lesions, classified as Wagner’s grade 3 4, included ulcers ≥20 cm 2 for ≥25 days residual bases ≥30 ≥15 days, refractory despite comprehensive wound care. EGF...
Se plantea la existencia de una forma particular 'gentrificación por desposesión renta suelo' en Chile, resultante interacción entre estrategias estatales pro-mercado (entrepreneurial urbanism), regulaciones urbanas locales que aumentan rentas potenciales suelo, y devaluación del espacio construido a través políticas públicas limitan renovación urbana baja escala. Como resultado, los propietarios residentes – cerca 80% habitantes peri-central popular (inner city) Santiago encuentran...
Diabetic foot ulcer is a principal diabetic complication. It has been shown that patients have decreased growth factor concentrations in their tissues, particularly epidermal factor. Growth shortage impairs wound healing, which leads to chronic nonhealing wounds and sometimes eventual amputation. Ischemic the most difficult treat confers highest amputation risk.
Developed during the Second World War, 'three-sector theory' popularized notion of 'services' sector. It has quietly underpinned understandings economic structure ever since. The limitations and influence this basic breakdown have led to many critiques extensions, but no replacements. Inspired by Henri Lefebvre's Urban Revolution (1968), we develop a four-sector model that replaces services with sectors focused on urbanization control. We argue is better reflection material life, more useful...
Land upzoning and state investment in public infrastructure are two of the principal factors that increase rent gap city; however, scale their impact remains unknown. This paper presents a novel method analysis based on multiple linear regressions with controlled fixed factors, tested for Greater Santiago, Chile. Drawing an administrative dataset 36,911 transactions new apartments sold between 2008 2011, along data regarding size each apartment its commercial sale price—but discounting...

However, some experience rapid disease progression. Identifying specific phenotypes predictive circulating biomarkers is essential the early detection who may be refractory to ICI-TKI therapy. Methods: Serum samples peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from classified as complete responders (CR,...

Rent gap theory is used here as a way to analyse exclusionary displacement in six high-rise urban renewal areas Santiago, Chile. Drawing on survey of 746 original households, this article finds 40 per cent low-income owner-residents do not have the chance purchase new replacement accommodation using portion rent they capture after selling their land developers. Whilst sale price apartments rises, particular type blockbusting limits choices residents at good or staying put. The ratio between...
