Resumen
his is a research about "Academic Capitalism", a new concept that links workplace dissatisfaction of faculty members with foreign elements to the institution, and the way financial resources and power are managed. These new business styles cause discontent among faculty members, since their participation in processes traditionally-considered academic are reduced. This work shows part of a comprehensive survey on attitude in the work place carried out in the University of Puerto Rico. This is a research applied from the Industrial and Organizational Psychology, since it addresses the attitudes of the members of the Business Administration faculty members towards their job and their satisfaction right in their workplace. The first part of the investigation consisted of the revision of secondary data about Academic Capitalism and attitudes, faculty member‘s satisfaction in the workplace and the like. The second part was action research. Its main goal was to validate the apparent dissatisfaction and complaints informally observed in the faculty. The research, also, seeks to find a link between Academic Capitalism and the discontent among the Business Administration faculty members of the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. Findings led to the conclusion that faculty member‘s attitudes were adverse in relation to governance or administration of the processes in the Business Administration faculty, and those related to the workplace environment. These findings could be linked to the approach of Academic Capitalism, since these group felt discriminated against, for they took no part whatsoever in the institution‘s decision-making processes.

Resumen
This paper proposes a framework that organizes and encompasses the various elements and aspects to be considered for a program oriented to identify, select and engage, from the Latin American Student Movement -concieved as a valuable pool of human resources-, the political leadership that the region needs. It also provides the conceptual basis for the proposition of further studies and systematic initiatives, in order to coordinate, facilitate and promote the emergence of an effective leadership, able to concentrate on those more demanding challenges to the political and social development of the region.

Resumen
Geological events in the Caribbean have affected populations through history. Phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and landslides are examples of geological events that have caused human and economic losses to the Caribbean countries. All populations in the Caribbean may be potentially affected, but urban areas are highlighted in this article due to their population density, concentration of infrastructure and frequent location in coastal areas. This reflection exercise presents the situation of geological risk for Puerto Rico and the vulnerability of its urban areas toward this risk. It is also reason about the current conditions on the island of Puerto Rico in geological risk management. The reflection closes with recommendations that could put the inhabitants of urban areas of the island in a less vulnerable position toward geological risks.

Resumen
Biotechnology presents itself as a promise for the reactivation and development of the economy in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean countries. Nevertheless, a large part of our population lacks the fundamental theories that enable the comprehension of diverse inter and multidisciplinary topics that make up and accompany this discipline. In this work are described three projects which were developed in the Department of Biological Sciences for the education of university students and preparation of educators in schools and universities. These topics are of concern to biotechnology from the perspective of General Education. One of the projects described was realized as part of the Exchange Program between the Department of Biological Sciences of the General Studies College (UPR-RP) and the School of Biology of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD). The objective of these projects is the formation of individuals with actualized scientific knowledge, capable of analyzing, evaluating and making decisions in a technologically dynamic society.

The result with respect to which it was the Propedéutico Cycle, was that from this reform, a Cycle of common General Education would be shaped to all the students who enter the university, whose contents are distributed in a Modular Curriculum. As well each one of the five Modules designed for this Cycle, conform an educational academy, conceived like a space of reflection and analysis that constantly tests the curriculum.

Resumen
This essay is a bit of a confession, a share my own demons, but also my elves, these creatures of my inner city leading to the desire, and a terrible hope that we are in a privileged moment where, in spite of all signs and signs of loss (of models and utopias), we are building a better world. A more livable and inclusive city where an economy can flourish, policy, culture and different everyday. I have no doubt that, as I have no doubt that the architects are called to participate in the creation of this new city that is emerging, creating new spaces, transforming existing ones to facilitate the operation and the symbolic representation of the new projects. This, despite the abysmal increasing distance between the architectural culture and popular culture, including architectural fees and the daily allowed the immense majority of the population. Based on the foregoing, the author proposes a design practice based on participation, using the design process as an opportunity for users to exercise greater power in and about their daily lives.

Resumen
The sequential art was developed initially by Wilhem Busch and Rudolf Topfer, european draftsmen, obtaining different perceptions of the city, in his urban and architectural form, as well as of the social composition of his citizens. In the Latin-American sequential art, and particularly in the Venezuelan cities, it reflects strongly and clarity every component of the urban Latin- American dynamics. Such it is Fonseca's case that with the "Ranchito" he presents day after day of those that live in the neighborhoods or urban spontaneous accessions; or "El magistrado" of Julio Lopez Hallaco (1936-2006), comical personage inspired by the Venezuelan dictator Gómez.

Resumen
With the insertion of the Caribbean into the world capitalist economy in the 16th Century, its cities were exposed to a dynamic process of changing hegemonies in which geopolitics played a decisive role. This article, the result of a course given at the UPR College of General Studies in 2010 and the draft for a book in preparation, analyzes the progression of this urban history. The analysis focuses on four cities— Santo Domingo, San Juan, Havana and Miami—over a period of five centuries. The urban history of the Caribbean takes shape in three phases— colonial, developmentalist and open cities—with a parenthesis operating in the case of Havana, the "socialist city," a failed attempt to vary the political dynamic of a a region faced with North American hegemony and Miami‘s urban primacy since the 1960s. The article concludes postulating the formation and the implications of a 21st Century marked by a hegemonic megacity, Havana/Miami.
