Authors: KIRAĞ Nükhet , TANILMIŞOĞLU Ece
Published: March 2020

AbstractAim:
This study aims to investigate self-efficacy and the related factors of
students enrolled in two different types of high schools regarding protection from
substance abuse.Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted with 170 volunteer students enrolled in an Anatolian
High School in city center and a Technical High School in district in the
academic year 2018-2019. Data were collected using a sociodemographic
characteristic form and Self-Efficacy Scale for Protection from Substance
Abuse. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software, percentage, chi-square,
t-test and Anova test for independent groups.

Results:
The mean age of the participants was 15.2±0.85. Of them, 58.8% were female and
55.3% were enrolled in Anatolian High School, 11.8% both smoked and used
alcohol. There was a significant relationship between the mean score on the
Self-Efficacy Scale for Protection from Substance Abuse and gender, residence,
mother’s education background, income level, type of high school, alcohol and
smoking habits (p<.05). Substance abuse protection self-efficacy levels of
the Technical High School students were lower than that of the Anatolian High
School students.

Conclusion: At
risk students of substance abuse were male, those with lower income, those
living in districts and villages, the Technical High School students, smokers
and alcohol users. The high-risk groups should be diagnosed early and be aware
of the risk. Early
intervention measures should be taken for high-risk groups. These high-risk
groups in schools should be closely monitored and, if necessary, collaborated
with the family.

Published: March 2020

AbstractAim: The
aim of this study was to evaluate the role of intermediate echo time (TE) Proton
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1 H-MRS)  in the differential diagnosis of neoplastic
and nonneoplastic cerebral mass lesions.Materials and Methods: The
research was done at Cukurova University in a 1.5 Tesla whole-body MR system.
In point-resolved-single volume-spectroscopy (PRESS) localization method,
Probe-P pulse sequence was studied with intermediate TE (TE=144). Of 55 cases
whose diagnosis was confirmed with the histopathologically or clinical and
radiological follow-up,  MR Spectroscopy
findings were discussed.Results: Twenty cases’ definite diagnosis
were neoplastic and thirty-five cases’ were nonneoplastic lesions. For tumor
detection in cerebral mass lesions, intermediate TE MRS  was determined 100% sensitive and 91.7%
specific.  The positive predictive value
was 86.4% and the negative one was 100%. In this study, in the neoplastic-nonneoplastic
lesion differential diagnosis, NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, and Cho/NAA ratios were
evaluated and the most useful of them were found to be Cho/NAA ratio.

Conclusion: It is
concluded that intermediate TE MR Spectroscopy is a reliable imaging technique
for the neoplastic-nonneoplastic differential diagnosis of the cerebral mass
lesions.

Authors: ÇELEBİOĞLU Emre Can , ÇALIŞKAN Selma , AKKAŞOĞLU Sinem , GÖKTÜRK NAKKAŞ Hilal , SANCAK İbrahim Tanzer
Published: March 2020

Aims:  The aim of the study recognize and classify
the Tracheal Bronchus (TB) in our population.Materials and
Methods: A total
of 1500 patients who underwent thoracic Computed Tomography (CT) examination
for different reasons were enrolled in this retrospective study. 12 patients
with TB were reported. Of the 12 patients with TB; five were males and seven
were females. Prevalence of TB was found to be 0.8%. It was indicated more
frequently in women (58.3%) than in men (41.7%). Results: Of the 12 patients with TB seven
had displaced type (58.3%), two had supernumerary type (16.7%) and three had
pig bronchus (25%). Displaced type was most common among the females. Of the five
males two had displaced type, two had pig bronchus and one had supernumerary
type. Relation between gender and type was not found to be statistically
significant (p=0.516). The mean diameter of the TB was 5.24±1.53 mm. Difference
between displaced and pig bronchus types according to diameter is statistically
significant (p=0.017). Distance between carina and TB was also measured in the
present study. There was no difference between displaced type and pig bronchus
type according to distance from carina (p=0.067).

Conclusions: Recognizing the TB is critically
important during endotracheal intubation. When the TB is occluded by the side
of the tube the lobe may collapse. On the other hand when it is mistakenly
intubated, over aeration may lead pneumothorax.
Endobronşiyal Ultrasonografi Eşliğinde Gerçekleştirilen Transbronşiyal İğne Aspirasyonu Biyopsi Materyallerine Histopatolojik Yaklaşım
Authors: ÖZMEN Sevilay , CEYLAN Onur
Published: March 2020

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı Endobronşiyal ultrason-transbronşiyal iğne aspirasyonu (EBUS-TBİA) yönteminin etkinliğini histopatolojik veriler eşliğinde göstermek ve materyallerin kliniğimize gelme aşamasından tanı anına kadarki süreci en uygun şekilde yönetmeyi belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda 2015-2019 tarihleri arasında incelenen EBUS-TBİA materyalleri retrospektif olarak tarandı. 4 yıl içerisinde 552 olgu mevuttu ve bu vakalar çalışmaya dâhil edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda EBUS-TBİA materyallerine ait tanılarımızda sensitivite %90, spesifite %98, Pozitif Prediktif Değer (PPD) %89, Negatif Prediktif Değer (NPD) %98 oranında bulundu. İlk işlem sonucu tanı için yetersiz doku örneği şeklinde tanı verilen olgularda ikinci EBUS-TBİA sonrası alınan biyopsi materyallerinin %75’ ine efektif tanı verilebildi. Biyopsi materyallerine efektif tanı verebilmek için ortalama 2 biyopsi camının (ilk H&E camı+1 seri kesit), camlar üzerine yayılarak gönderilen sitolojik preperatlar için ise ortalama 12-13 camın yeterli olduğu görüldü.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızdaki bulgular EBUS-TBİA yönteminin tanı ve evrelemede son derece önemli bir yöntem olduğunu destekler özelliktedir. Komplikasyon oranının düşük olduğu dikkate alınacak olursa kemo-radyoterapi sonrası ve cerrahi işlem öncesi yeniden evrelemede ilk seçilecek yöntem olabilir. Ayrıca düşük komplikasyon riskinden dolayı ilk EBUS-TBİA ile tanı için yetersiz materyal gelen vakalarda ikinci işlem olarak yine ilk tercih edilecek işlem olabilir. Son olarak da sitoloji camlarının değerlendirilmesinde harcanan zamanı kısaltmak ve her cam başına düşen maliyeti azaltmak için klinik tarafından doku biyopsisi yanı sıra ortalama 12-13 cama yayılarak gönderilen sitoloji materyalinin yeterli olacağı düşüncesindeyiz.

Efficacy of Sight Translation in English-Japanese Consecutive Interpreting Training in a University Course
Authors: Yamada Hiroko
Published: March 2020

A special type of simultaneous interpreting, sight translation has been a topic of particular interest as a variant of written and oral translation. The association of sight translation and simultaneous interpreting has been discussed for many pedagogical and professional purposes. However, few studies based on empirical evaluation have investigated the efficacy of sight translation as a comprehension component in relation to consecutive interpreting. This study examined the effectiveness of intensive sight translation activities for the subsequent training in consecutive interpreting of students registered on an English-Japanese interpreting course at a university in Japan. Data analysis revealed the efficacy of sight translation practice but showed that it had no significant impact on consecutive interpreting. Several exploratory analyses were conducted that may provide insight into the characteristics of the two distinct modalities by presenting the differences in processing capacities needed by the two respective modes.

Published: March 2020

The purpose of this study was to assess the appropriateness of reading passages of Grade Seven English textbook suitability in developing students’ reading comprehension Descriptive research design with both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed. In the study, 42 Grade Seven students randomly and four English language teachers with comprehensive sampling technique were included. The instruments used to collect data were document analysis, students’ questionnaire, and teachers’ interview. The data gathered through document analyses and students’ questionnaires were analyzed with frequency, percentages and mean; whereas, teachers’ interview data were analyzed through narration. The finding of study showed that, the reading passages of the current Grade Seven English textbook lack interestingness, authenticity and sufficient vocabulary. These deficiencies could hamper the appropriateness of reading passages so that the reading texts could not be adequate to develop the students’ reading skills. Hence, the reading passages should be revised to be appropriate for students’ success in reading.

Published: March 2020

Based on the engagement system of appraisal theory, this study made a comparative study of entertain strategies between English and Chinese scientific research articles. This study aimed to address the following two questions: (1) What are the similarities and differences of semantic resources expressing the meaning of entertain between English and Chinese scientific research articles? (2) Is there any quantitative difference in the entertain between English and Chinese scientific research articles? 30 English scientific research articles and 30 Chinese scientific research articles were compared from the qualitative and the quantitative perspectives. This article only focused on Result & Discussion section of English and Chinese scientific research articles. The results showed that English and Chinese scientific research articles generally use the similar semantic resources to express entertain meaning. As for the quantitative use, the frequency of entertain in English scientific research articles were significantly different from that in Chinese scientific research articles. This study may provide a new perspective for the comparative study of English and Chinese scientific discourses. These findings may also provide some pedagogical implications, especially for the teaching and learning of English academic writing.
A Study on Self-efficacy and Its Role in Mobile-assisted Language Learning
Authors: Yang Zhenyu
Published: March 2020

In this era of digital technology, time and place no longer limit access to information, communication, and learning. Following the trend and popularity of CALL (Computer-assisted Language Learning), MALL (Mobile-assisted Language Learning) is gaining increasing attention and application. Many teachers as well as language learners turn to these mobile devices for various language learning purposes due to easy access to resources, convenience, and less language anxiety. Despite the comprehensive functions and sophisticated devices, a high percentage of learners still lag behind and even give up the apps after some time of use. Some research shows that the unsuccessful learners’ lack of motivation constitutes a major hinderance in their self-regulated learning. This study tries to analyze an important component in learners’ motivation, that is self-efficacy (especially computer self-efficacy), and seek for good solutions to the current problems.
Reflexive and Reciprocal as Valency Decrease: A Morpho-syntax Study in Sasak
Authors: Azizah Nurul , Artawa Ketut , Indrawati Ni Luh Ketut Mas , Satyawati Made Sri
Published: March 2020

This research is a descriptive study that examines the constructions of reflexive and reciprocal of valency decrease using linguistic typological theory proposed by Dixon (2012). The results of data analysis revealed that in Sasak Kuto-Kute dialect, reflexive constructions can be formed through two techniques; namely verb derivation and combination techniques. The verb derivation technique involved the addition of a nasal prefix (N) to the verb functioning as reflexive marker (REF), whilst, the combination technique employed the addition of confix n- -in followed by the pronoun diriqnya ‘him/herself’. The formation of reciprocal construction is carried out through three techniques: the use of reciprocal verbs, verb derivation and the use of reciprocal adverbs. The reciprocal verb used in the data is tempur 'meet'. Meanwhile, for verb derivation the addition of confix meng- -an on the verb kaol 'hug' makes the verb’s meaning reciprocal. In the technique of using adverbs, the sentences that bear reciprocal meaning are formed by adding the word saling ‘each other’ appearing before the bases (affixless), verbs with suffix -in and confix ke- -n. From the overall data, it was found that the verb derivation techniques for reflexive is more preferred, while for reciprocals, the technique of using adverbs is more often used compared to the other two.
Enforcing Your Own Human Rights? The Role of Social Norms in Compliance with Human Rights Treaties
Authors: Benneker Violet , Gërxhani Klarita , Steinmetz Stephanie
Published: March 2020

Although scholars are increasingly able to explain why states (do not) comply with human rights treaties, the role of social norms in compliance has been neglected. This is remarkable because human rights often directly address social norms. Our study aims to contribute to the existing literature by providing quantitative and qualitative evidence on the relationship between citizens’ social norms and compliance with human rights treaties. The quantitative results provide strong support for such a relationship. The findings from the additional qualitative analysis suggest that bargaining over (and thus changing) social norms is an important process through which compliance with human rights can be influenced.
Meeting Boundaries: Exploring the Faces of Social Inclusion beyond Mental Health Systems
Authors: Walker Carole Heather , Thunus Sophie
Published: March 2020

This article examines social inclusion in the context of the deinstitutionalisation of mental health care. It draws on a scientific evaluation of the Belgian reform of mental health care (2010), designed to assess the influence of organisational mechanisms on the social and care trajectories of service users. The findings highlight the ongoing challenge for mental health systems to support the inclusion of service users within the community, and the increasingly difficult access to mental health care for people with complex and chronic mental health problems. Drawing from Systems Theory (Luhmann, 2013) and the analysis of subjective experiences, this article delves into the complex processes of social inclusion using the empirically-grounded concepts of the patient role and the impatient role. By acknowledging the relational dimensions of social inclusion, this article argues that complementarities between two faces of the mental health system are key to achieving inclusion beyond the walls of institutions and within society at large.

Authors: GÖKSU İdris , BOLAT Yusuf İslam
Published: March 2020

Bu meta-analizde teknolojinin akademik başarıya etkisini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, EBSCO ve TR Dizin veri tabanlarında yapılan tarama neticesinde 2005 ile 2019 Temmuz ayı aralığında yayınlanan toplam 2908 sonuç elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda Türkiye adresli kontrol gruplu toplam 122 deneysel araştırma, bu çalışma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Toplamda 10011 örneklem sayısını kapsayan 144 etki büyüklüğü (EB) hesaplanmıştır. Etki büyüklükleri hesaplanırken (1) Ortalama, standart sapma, örneklem büyüklüğü ve (2) örneklem büyüklüğü, p değeri olmak üzere iki farklı kombinasyon kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada veriler heterojen dağıldığından EB hesaplanırken “random effects model” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma soruları doğrultusunda kodlanan moderatorler için “mixed effects model” tercih edilmiştir. “Random effects model” kullanılarak yapılan meta-analiz sonucunda teknolojinin akademik başarıya genel etkisinin geniş düzeyde (EB=0.88) olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca “mixed effects model” kullanılarak yapılan analiz sonucunda teknoloji tabanlı öğrenme ortamı, örneklem büyüklüğü ve eğitim düzeyine göre teknolojinin akademik başarıya etkisi anlamlı düzeyde farklılık göstermiştir. Teknoloji tabanlı öğrenme ortamlarının öğrenme kuramlarına dayandırılması ve alan/derse göre teknolojinin akademik başarıya etkisinde anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Bu çalışmada nispeten daha kapsamlı ve yeni bir meta-analiz yapılarak teknolojinin akademik başarıya genel etkisinin tespit edilmiş olması önemli görülmektedir.

Brain Drain: Economic and Social Sufferings for Bangladesh
Authors: Abdullah Abu Md.
Published: March 2020

This paper presents the alarming issue of brain drain with the causes that are responsible for the migration of academics, doctors and engineers from Bangladesh to developed countries. Bangladesh being one of the least developed countries needs its talents to stay to contribute to the development. But majority of these highly skilled immigrants do not come back after completing their study or training and start living in the foreign countries. Lack of opportunity, higher standard and insecurity are some reasons behind their immigrations. After exploring the causes, the paper also examines the suffering of Bangladesh in want of native talent.

Authors: Talukder Tusar
Published: March 2020

Bangladeshi poetry underwent significant changes in cases of subject-matter, theme, and technique over the period of last 40 years. With the passage of time, it embraced as well as adapted to those changes. De facto, after the year of 2000, how poetry has been fashioned in a new way is brought into focus through this research paper. More particularly, I have studied the subject-matter, theme, and language of four contemporary Bangladeshi poets namely Mujtaba Ahmed Murshed, Obayed Akash, Binoy Barman and Rakibul Hasan. I have considered these less known but substantial poets’ poetry because while coming across their poems I have minutely noticed the changes and variety they have celebrated through their verses. Therefore, I have selected four poetry collections of the aforementioned poets to expose multifarious aspects of the contemporary Bangladeshi poetry.
Transcending Binariesin Hanif Kureishi’s Goodbye, Mother’s Dichotomous Settings
Authors: Termizi Arbaayah Ali , Yin Cheong Pui
Published: March 2020

Hanif Kureishiis often noted for his tendency to pit his protagonist against the dichotomous setting around him. In one of Kureishi’s short stories titled Goodbye, Mother, Harry, the protagonist is placed against the dichotomous physical and spatial settings in the story. This dichotomous physical setting reflects a long time conflict between the urban and the suburban, whereas the spatial one represents the past and the present on opposing sides. Accordingly, these opposing elements also come to represent equally conflicting connotations to the protagonist, in terms of (a) class difference (high class versus middle class), (b) female figures in life (mother versus wife), and (c) generational contrast (previous versus current generation). Thus, this paper intends to elucidate the struggle that Harry goes through as he confronts the three above said elements in relation to the physical and spatial settings in the story. Hence this paper focuses on the relationship between the motif of movement/leaving with freedom as well as looking at the form(s) of victory/freedom that Harry may obtain when (or if) he succeeds while moving between the binaries. The exploration of these themes is guided, primarily, by Raymond William’s concept of ‘social formula’ and John Christman’s extension of Isiah Berlin’s notion of positive/negative freedom. In short, this study proposes that Harry does transcend from one sphere of the binaries to the other, and his movement/leaving has helped to facilitate a positive freedom within him, which culminates, ultimately, in the discovery of his self-knowledge and identity.
Voice of Protest against Choice of Politics: A Study of Selected Texts in South African Literature
Authors: Morve Roshan K.
Published: March 2020

This paper interrogates the nature of protest literature as well as their issues and problems while addressing the discourse on apartheid South Africa underlined the politics. In this paper, I explore the connection of banned books of history with the present time. In South Africa: the numbers of the books banned, and these books never become part of a literary form. As a result, it also claims to the Censorship Act (have an authority to ban the books). This paper relates to examine the relationship between these two major research queries, which underpins as under two contexts as: (i) Protest literature and (ii) Racial discrimination. The racial discrimination needs for understanding the problems and struggle in South African. It also ignites to the fight for human rights of the people, who suffer from inequality and struggling for their identity crisis. South African novels represent the problems and concerns of people who belong to the marginal group. However, this paper focuses on South African protest literature, which demands to the end of racial discrimination, unequal educational system and segregation as divided land policy represents through the discourses. This paper has significant to demand for equality and justice through the protest literature also it demands of non-racial society as well. I come to conclude, it can be inferred in apartheid and the post-apartheid government failed to give equal rights to all.

Published: March 2020

Tourism is an important sector and contributes significantly in the economy of Bangladesh. However, in comparison to others, the tourism industry has not developed and flourished considerably due to some obstacles.  The increasing rate of crime is regarded as a potential threat for the industry. Besides some evidence from worldwide suggest that now a day, tourists and visitors are at risk of being victims of violent and property crimes. Some criminological theories such as rational choice theory, routine activity theory and opportunity theory indicate the significant relationship between crime and tourist areas.  Mainly the present study attempts to find out the relation between crime and tourism in Bangladesh along with the patterns of crime in tourist areas and the associated risk factors behind it. The qualitative method has been used to conduct the study and data has been collected from secondary sources like various statistics, articles, books, newspapers and so on. The findings of the study revealed that most of the tourist places were affected by criminal activities such as dacoity, robbery, murder, hijacking, riot, women repression, kidnapping, police assault, burglary, theft, etc. Consequently, the frequency and number of tour by the tourist increased at a slower rate and our country are earning lower foreign currency from the tourism sector in recent years. Concerning the high volume of crime, factors like high inequality, mass unemployment, low income, and low level of education has strong influences on crime. Also, it is cheap and easy to buy different types of weapons and bombs in hilly areas due to lack of proper oversight of law enforcing agencies. In 2011, the number of international visitor tourist reached 443,000 generating revenue of BDT6.6 billion. However, in our study period,     we found that the number of reported crime has been increasing day by day. Although the police reported crime increased sharply, in most cases residents have been victimized more than the foreigner. For this, the tourism industry is not yet badly affected by police-reported crime in most cases.
Universe in Movement

Published: March 2020

In this paper, we analyze some aspects of the posthumous work of American writer Edgar Alan Poe, titled Eureka. A prose poem, published in 1848. This is a controversial book for several reasons, among others, by the complexity of its artistic characterization, depth of and cognitive influences and impact of its nutrients for the world of science, especially physics and astronomy. First, we proceed to do a panoramic review of the contributions of the writer outside the United States, and it is explained the interest in his vast literary production in France and in the Spanish-speaking world. They are then analyzed the links that Eureka may have with the literary career of Poe and other fields of culture, art and science that are related precisely with philosophy, aesthetics and above all, the Astronomy of his time. Finally, it is considered and weighted the prospective dimension of the work under study, trying to clarify to what extent Eureka is ahead of the universe conception that we have today and what effect it may have had on the contemporary scientific and technological change.
Masculine Performance in Hong Kong Crime Films from Post-Bruce to the 2000s
Authors: Tsang Gabriel F. Y.
Published: March 2020

Masculinity, in Lacan’s sense, is an imagination. To specifically theorise Chinese masculinity, Kam Louie examined the elements of wen (cultural attainment) and wu (martial valour) rendered through historical or artistic images, and Song Geng and Derek Hird guide the discussions about Chinese manhood represented in everyday life. With a Marxist perspective, Lo Kwai Cheung illustrated the dissolvability of Chinese masculinity under international capitalism. With reference to Aristotle, it is supposed that Chinese masculinity, similar to ‘tragicity’ in nature, can be represented through imitating actions and hence be perceived. Based on Aristotle’s understanding, we can regard actions as ‘iterable’ media (like Derrida’s understanding of written texts) which engender performances according to the genealogy of quantitative mimesis. Integrating theoretical discussions with a chronological approach, my full paper will go through following points in order to summarise the changes in Hong Kong crime films from the post-Bruce Lee era to the 2000s: (1) Hong Kong crime film inherited the martial side of masculinity from action films and became a popular genre since A Better Tomorrow was well received in the mid-1980s. (2) Many directors diversified the interpretation of crime in the late 1980s and the 1990s, but remained a focus on the strength, nimbleness and boldness of men. (3) After the decline of Hong Kong film industry for several years, Infernal Affairs’s success renewed the representation of manhood. (4) From the 2000s to now, male characters in crime films are preferably intelligent and wisely-romantic, like the fragile scholar in ancient China. (5) While globalisation seems to be eliminating the Chineseness of Chinese masculinity, I argue that geographical specificity and different speed of cultural development lead to the impossibility of synchronic masculine similarity. (6) Through a brief discussion concerning Hollywood’s adaptation of Hong Kong films, I argue that local masculinity is not transformable.
Patterns of Male/Erotic Fantasy in Coover’s “The Babysitter”
Authors: Biswas Banani
Published: March 2020

The paper aims at studying the patterns of the male fantasy in Robert Coover’s erotically charged short story, “The Babysitter”. The story centres on the image of a Babysitter stepping into a bathtub for having a shower while the phone in the living room rings, driving her out of the tub to answer it by the time the towel wrapping her pulls off giving a view of her naked body. In a rapid succession of one hundred and seven fragmented paragraphs, this image vividly recurs in and rolls up through the fantasies to fantasies of its male characters, blurring and overlapping these, creating fresh new versions of the story from the Babysitter being raped to the Babysitter saved from being raped. The study examines a clear line of development in the fantasies of each of these characters. Considering age, sexual orientation, experiments, adjustment and satisfaction, personality, and other socio-cultural variables, it (re)conceptualizes their fantasies as falling into certain patterns like obsessive, childlike, romantic, or deviant. And, finally and most importantly, it explores the binary power relation embedded in these fantasies wherein the Babysitter poses a fetish, an inanimate, sexualized object while the fantasies around her confirm to male/sexual power, violence, and masochistic pleasure. The research approaches the fantasies with psycho-feminist viewpoints.

This study aims to understand the kind of relationship that students from two Portuguese higher education institutions – the Portalegre School of Health Sciences (ESSP) and the University of the Azores (UAC) – have with hazing and whether there are profiles of students associated with different types of relationship with hazing. Data were collected through the scale ‘Evaluation of Bullying Situations in Higher Education Hazing’. The findings obtained using appropriate statistical techniques, exhibit significant differences between the ESSP and the UAC, with students from the ESSP displaying a better relationship with hazing. They also showcase appreciable differences in the relationship with hazing between the ESSP and the UAC depending on personal, academic and behavioral variables. The findings finally indicate that, at each institution, the profile of students who express a better relationship with hazing differs from those who distance themselves from this ritual in terms of personal, academic and behavioral variables.

Colombia vive desde hace muchos años el drama de la ilegalidad, nicho en el cual han germinado conductas, prácticas sociales y personales, de carácter delictivo la mayoría de ellas. Está ilegalidad, de la mano de la desigualdad social, de una justicia lenta, ineficaz e inoportuna agravadas por guerras paralelas entre diversos actores sociales: guerrilla, paramilitares, narcotraficantes, bacrim, delincuencia común, el Estado y entre ellos, ha conducido al país a un callejón sin salida. Hoy los representantes del Estado colombiano y de las FARC se sientan en La Habana para tratar de poner fin a una de las guerras entre las fuerzas gubernamentales y un grupo insurgente. Una confrontación que es atípica con otras similares de liberación nacional, guerra civil o guerra regular. El análisis es delicado y complejo, porque no está entre los estándares conocidos, hay que desarrollar una propuesta teórica paradigmática para comprender y analizar el caso colombiano y no caer en el maniqueísmo, ni en la visión religiosa de buenos y malos, porque aquí muchas veces los buenos son malos, los malos son buenos unas veces y perversos muchas otras. En ese cruce de guerras paralelas se han producido atrocidades, crímenes contra la población civil y crímenes de lesa humanidad, por esto la importancia de aclarar de una vez por todas la responsabilidad de los diversos actores sociales de la confrontación armada que ha dejado una estela de víctimas que hoy reclama justicia y reparación pero fundamentalmente el derecho a conocer la verdad de lo sucedido.
