Ítem Revista de la Mañana. La Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas proyecta el reinicio de actividades académicas para el 21 de enero de 2019(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Castrillón Cardona, William Fernando; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasThe Academic Vicerector of the District University, Professor William Fernando Castrillón, announced that the restart of academic activities to conclude the 2018-03 period is projected for January 21, 2019. This tentative date, which has been preliminarily approved by the Academic Council, aims to provide sufficient time for the re-hiring of part-time professors (hora cátedra) and for administrative preparations following the vacation period for permanent faculty, who return on January 8th. The goal is to finish the pending period by the third week of February 2019 at the latest, in order to start the 2019-01 period around March 4th and manage to level the two full academic periods throughout the rest of the year. The Vice-Rector highlighted the historic achievement of the national agreements between the student movement and the government, which allocated more than $4.5 trillion additional pesos to public higher education. Although the District University is not the biggest beneficiary of the national resources, the agreement did have a positive influence in securing a budget addition of $15 billion pesos from the Bogotá Council. Finally, Professor Castrillón indicated the Academic Council's willingness to dialogue with the students and movement leaders to guarantee the peaceful resumption of classes, which requires the unblocking of facilities and a positive attitude from the communityÍtem Revista de la Mañana. El Concejo de Bogotá aprueba un aumento histórico del presupuesto para la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) García Duarte, Ricardo; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasThe Rector of the District University, Dr. Ricardo García, announced that the Finance Committee of the Bogotá Council approved an extraordinary increase of $15 billion pesos for the institution's budget in 2019, in addition to the initial draft budget of $300 billion pesos. This increase is composed of an adjustment of the CPI plus 3.5% ($6.2 billion pesos) allocated for operational expenses (to prevent the defunding of essential items), plus an addition of $8 billion pesos to strengthen the core mission areas. The Rector highlighted that this concession is a significant and historic advance, as it had been many years since the Council approved an increase over the preliminary draft presented by the Central Administration. This represents a greater trust and political and academic legitimation towards the District University. Although the budget of needs presented by the university was $32 billion pesos, the $15 billion pesos achieved are an important step in the right direction to achieve a more sustainable and balanced budget in 2019. These resources will be allocated to urgent needs derived from institutional accreditation, especially the creation of more permanent faculty positions for professors, which is fundamental to making a qualitative leap in research, teaching, and social outreach. Dr. García urged the community to value this achievement and to maintain unity, as the recognition gained is a direct result of the university's good management and solid academic developmentsÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas adopta protocolo para prevenir y atender la violencia de género(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Parson, Ximena; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasThe Director of the University Well-being Center, Professor Jimena Parson, highlights the recent adoption of the Protocol for the prevention and handling of cases of gender-based violence and sexual violence at Distrital University, which formalizes and strengthens a support pathway that had already been implemented for approximately one year. This document, which will be reviewed annually, defines the institutional actions and support for any member of the community, including external persons affected within the institution. The professor emphasizes that the protocol is based on key principles such as co-responsibility and, above all, prevention, which will be addressed with an aggressive campaign and events throughout the year to ensure the entire community is aware of the procedure and the rights it guarantees. The current support pathway already includes the immediate reception of the complaint at the Well-being Center, victim support without re-victimization, legal assistance and information about their rights, and the provision of priority care in health services (psychology, medicine, social work, etc.). The university, through departments such as its radio station, is committed to intense dissemination work. The implementation of this protocol is considered excellent news that strengthens the management of the Well-being Center and provides an essential regulatory framework to guarantee a safe environment and the strengthening of human rights within the institutionÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Luz Marilín Ortiz Sánchez asume la dirección del ILUD con énfasis en investigación y pedagogías Críticas(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Ortiz Sanchez, Luz Marilín; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasProfessor Luz Marilín Ortiz Sánchez is assuming the directorship of the District University's Institute of Languages (ILUD), acknowledging both the challenge and the importance of the position. Her main objective is to enrich the standing the Institute has already gained by injecting contemporary academic and pedagogical dynamics. Professor Ortiz, who holds a background in Language and Culture, seeks to transform language teaching beyond linguistic structures. She will focus on the formation of individuals with critical, analytical, and political thinking who understand the learning of a new language as a process of cultural, social, political, and cognitive growth. The new director, who defines herself more as an academic than an administrator, faces the fundamental challenges of generating networked research lines from the Institute, working with respect and feedback alongside the valuable team of professionals at ILUD, and ensuring that academia remains the driving force of her management. This appointment, a result of her solid academic trajectory (including a specialization in Human Development and an upcoming master's degree), seeks to position ILUD not only as a teaching center but as an academic institute that handles more complex elements in comprehensive educationÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Estudiantes de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas marchan con Pliego de exigencias local y nacional(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Pardo, Camilo; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasCamilo Pardo, a student of Cadastral and Geodesy Engineering at the District University (Universidad Distrital), reports on the student mobilization day convened by UNES (National Union of Higher Education Students) towards the Plaza de Bolívar. This march is being carried out as a pressure mechanism while the negotiation table with the Government enters a pause that will extend until mid-January 2019. The student emphasizes that support on the streets is crucial to back the spokespersons at the negotiating table, despite being aware of the risk of lower attendance due to the start of the December holiday season. Internally at the District University, the movement has put forward a Local List of Demands (Pliego Local de Exigencias) which has been preliminarily discussed with the Academic Council. This local list of demands calls for, among other points, an increase in the university's budgetary base, the adoption of a Concurrency Pact (Pacto de Concurrencia) to assume pension payments and free up resources, the creation of a children’s nursery, and the urgent improvement of infrastructure in faculties like Arts and Engineering. The formalization of employment for academic staff is also demandedÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Historia y deterioro de la avenida Caracas como eje de la modernización de Bogotá(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Rojas, Fernando; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasFernando Rojas, a political scientist, historian, and Master in Urban Management, explains that Avenida Caracas is a fundamental axis for understanding the modernization of Bogotá, which at the beginning of the 20th century was a small "town." The Caracas was initially conceived as an urban project, the "Champs-Élysées of Bogotá," built upon the old northern railway line. This vision of an avenue-boulevard, planned by urbanists like Karl Brunner starting in 1933, sought to create a hygienic and architecturally defined space for the elite, contrasting with the colonial center, and subsequently making way for the first rental buildings for the middle class (between 45th and 69th streets). However, this dream of modernity quickly declined starting in 1946 due to the strong opposition of the Modernist movement (inspired by Le Corbusier), the development of new monumental avenues like Las Américas and Décima, and Bogotá's urban expansion toward the West. The deterioration of the Caracas was exacerbated until it was transformed into a transport axis, first with Andrés Pastrana's bus-only corridor (which failed because it wasn't an integral transport project) and then with TransMilenio. Rojas criticizes that the corridor, although initially improving the Caracas, is now a focal point of chaos and insecurity that reflects citizen anger. Currently, Enrique Peñalosa's Elevated Metro project promises a new modernization, but the expert disagrees, arguing that it won't address the city's needs, will compromise financial resources with long-term debt, and will continue prioritizing the TransMilenio vision. Rojas concludes that the history of the Caracas is an example of how the thirteen urban plans Bogotá had between 1930 and 1997 failed by not materializing a comprehensive vision for the city, being overcome by the influence of developers, land speculation, and the lack of social cohesionÍtem Revista de la Mañana: Progresismo y ultraderecha. El contraste AMLO-- BOLSONARO(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Jaramillo Jassir, Mauricio; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasAnalyst Mauricio compares the political projects of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) in Mexico and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, highlighting that, while both came to power driven by the electorate's weariness with traditional politics and corruption, their platforms are profoundly different. AMLO, a seasoned politician and former mayor of Mexico City, represents a project that is perceived abroad as left-wing, but which the analyst describes as moderately progressive. His initial actions, such as the notable increase in the minimum wage and the sale of the presidential plane, are seen as measures consistent with his promise of austerity and ending corruption, seeking a new chapter in Mexico's relations with Latin America. On the other hand, Bolsonaro's election is described as the triumph of anti-politics and a leap into the unknown for Brazil. Although his vote is largely considered a protest vote against the exhaustion of the left (the PT) and the Lava Jato scandal, the analyst expresses deep uncertainty over Bolsonaro's far-right positions, his apology for discrimination, and his threat to human rights achievements and the Amazon. However, it is expected that the strong nature of Brazilian democracy and its social movements may mitigate the most radical aspects of his rhetoric. Globally, the analyst emphasizes the erosion of traditional leaderships, with the struggle between liberal Europe (led by a strengthened Macron) and nationalism (exemplified by the staggering Brexit) being a key trend, in addition to the stagnation of the Venezuelan crisis, which is cataloged as the most important event in the regionÍtem Revista de la Mañana. La Incertidumbre del Brexit: análisis de la negociación, la decisión de la Corte(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Jaramillo Jassir, Mauricio; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasAnalyst Mauricio addresses the profound consequences of the European court's decision that allows the United Kingdom to unilaterally revoke Brexit. This forces a possible renegotiation and weakens the position of Theresa May's government. The Brexit process is divided into three key moments: the 2016 referendum called by David Cameron, the era of uncertainty under Theresa May, and the new phase marked by the judicial decision, which demonstrates the European Union's greater room for maneuver. The political uncertainty has generated great fear in British society regarding the economic and migratory effects of the withdrawal, leading to a general questioning of Brexit's effectiveness and forcing May to share the final decision with Parliament. Mauricio argues that, despite calls for the UK to be punished for its decision, it is unlikely that the European Union (EU) would punish London if it decides to retract. This is because punishment could make the EU unpopular and excite nationalisms in other countries. In fact, the reaction to Brexit has revitalized pro-European sentiment on the continent, making withdrawal unviable in countries like Spain or France. The court's decision clears the way for the UK to reverse the activation of Article 50. Finally, it is highlighted that British politics is highly fragmented and that, if the country remains, a thorough renegotiation of the conditions is unlikely, as the EU has not demanded conditions for remaining since the UK has not actually withdrawn yetÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Colombia reforma política 2018(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Robledo, Angela María; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasRepresentative Ángela María Robledo strongly criticizes the current Political Reform being debated in the Colombian Congress, calling it 'window dressing' (maquillaje) that fails to address the fundamental flaws of the electoral system. The congresswoman points out that the elements she and the opposition considered essential were eliminated: 100% state financing of campaigns (to break the link with corruption), democratic openness to citizen participation by signatures outside the party structure, and the reform of the functioning of the National Electoral Council and the Registrar's Office (Registraduría). The only remaining points, which the opposition will work to defeat, are the closed list with parity (lista cremallera, or 'zipper list') and the limit of three terms for congress members in each corporate body, which could total up to 24 years of career service. Robledo also denounced the use of 'mermelada' (a colloquial term for government favors and resources) to secure votes, pointing to the unusual presence in Congress of high-ranking government officials, such as the director of the Department of Social Prosperity, Susana Correa. This, she insinuated, suggested they were pressuring congress members to approve the reform. Finally, the Representative called for a public hearing to address the excessive use of force by ESMAD (Mobile Anti-Riot Squadron) against the student movement, condemning the violence and the case of the student who lost an eye. She emphasized that the students are the true 'people of the year' for bringing the value of public universities back to the national agenda, and concluded by calling for a vote for a district administration that does not turn its back on public interestsÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Reconocimiento a la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Infante, María del Pilar; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasProfessor Pilar Infante, Coordinator of the Self-Assessment and Accreditation Committee at Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, details the important recognitions received at the "La Noche de los Mejores 2018" ceremony. The institution was honored with the Luis López de Mesa Order for Higher Education and Public Trust, highlighting the university community's hard work and its commitment to continuous improvement. This recognition was specifically granted for the high-quality accreditation renewals for the bachelor's degrees in Artistic Education and Biology, as well as the first high-quality accreditation for the Environmental Administration program. The professor emphasizes that these achievements are crucial and a vital input for the institutional objective of achieving institutional high-quality re-accreditation in the year 2020. In addition to program accreditations, the University was recognized for its students' excellent results in the SABER PRO exams, consistently remaining above the national average. These recognitions confirm the growing national prestige of Universidad Distrital, serving as an example of quality and educational excellence for the entire communityÍtem Revista de la Mañana. La Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas presente en los nuevos retos de CONACES y la calidad educativa nacional(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Mosquera, Carlos Javier; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM; Mosquera, Carlos Javier -- [0000-0001-8640-0803 ]Dr. Carlos Javier Mosquera highlights the importance of the representation of the Distrital University in the National Intersectoral Commission for the Quality Assurance of Higher Education (CONACES). He emphasizes that this participation is not only a personal achievement based on academic expertise, but a key institutional endorsement that elevates the prestige of the university. The selection process to join this commission is described as highly rigorous, demanding technical tests and interviews, which confirms the high level of the Distrital's faculty and their direct contribution to strengthening institutional accreditation and the university's visibility in the national context. Regarding the Ministry of Education's roadmap, two major challenges are announced: the formation of a "School of Academic Peers" to train rectors and faculty in evaluation processes, and the review of the implementation of Decree 1280 of 2018 to ensure that the system evolves without stagnation. Mosquera underscores that Colombia is a regional benchmark in quality systems and that the verification work of academic peers is fundamental to guaranteeing excellence in undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well as maintaining confidence in the processes of degree validation and the creation of new institutionsÍtem Revista de la Mañana. Venezuela en el ajedrez geopolítico: Alianzas con Rusia, China y Turquia, el impacto de la crisis en la región(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Rodríguez, Ronald; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasAnalyst Ronald explains that Venezuela, far from being isolated, has consolidated a "diplomacy of Russia, China, and Turkey," strengthening relations with these countries. These alliances do not arise from ideological affinity, but from a logic of opportunity where these powers seek to take advantage of Venezuelan natural resources (oil and gold) and fill the geopolitical vacuum left by the United States in Latin America. Internally, there is a description of the systematic destruction of the economy and the oil industry, as well as corruption in social programs (CLAP) and the fragmentation of the military forces, whose high "exit costs" — due to their involvement in illicit businesses — make any democratic transition difficult. On the other hand, the humanitarian crisis and its direct impact on Colombia are discussed, warning that the resources from international cooperation are insufficient and that the migratory flow will not immediately reverse following a change in government.Ítem Revista de la Mañana. Legado Controvertio George H.W. Bush : Entre la guerra fría y el costo de la guerra del golfo(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Clavijo, Gabriel; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasThe internationalist Gabriel Clavijo on the legacy of the former President of the United States, George H. W. Bush (Bush Senior). The conversation addresses various topics, the main ones being his presidency (1989-1993) and his role in international politics. Clavijo highlights Bush's principal legacy as the peaceful negotiation with the Soviet bloc that led to the global transformation post-Cold War, prioritizing international consensus over the warmongering of his predecessor. However, it is discussed that his failure to win re-election was due to shortcomings in domestic policy, specifically the unpopular tax hike to finance the First Gulf War. The 1989 invasion of Panama, justified by the United States' monetary interest in the area, and Bush's relationship with Latin America are also covered, noting that Republican administrations usually offer greater economic stability and military aid in the region. Finally, his public image is analyzed; he was perceived as serious and uncharismatic compared to Bill Clinton, as well as his influence on his son, George W. Bush, who was more inclined toward military action.Ítem Revista de la Maña.

Origin of the Tribute: Councilman González explains that the initiative originated with him after noticing that the District University, despite its importance, had never received the highest award granted by the Bogotá Council. He also recalled that it was the Bogotá Council that greenlighted the university's creation 70 years ago. Recognition of the Present and Future: The councilman highlights that the university is an academic and pedagogical benchmark, and that its present is "excellent and magnificent." He expresses his hope that in the future the institution will consolidate itself as an international vanguard, especially in Latin America. Expansion Proposals: González underscores the need for the university to increase its presence in the district's public entities and work on expanding its campuses in the city. He mentions the recent inauguration of the Bosa campus and the Council's insistence on building three or four more campuses, such as in the Suba locality, which has more than two million inhabitants without a public or private university. Resource Injection: The Bogotá Council has been injecting resources into the university so that it can extend its programs and increase the visibility of its name at a national and Latin American level.Ítem Revista de la Mañana.

Identity and Articulation with the City: He stated that this Order symbolizes the Distrital University's identity as an academic, scientific, technological, innovative, and civic project. It reflects the brotherhood and articulation between the university and the city, framing it within a "city educator" and "civic university" project. Present Status and Expansion: He emphasized the university's strong current status, its achievement of high-quality accreditation, and its physical and academic expansion: Physical Expansion: He mentioned the Aduanilla de Paiva headquarters (with land for further development, such as engineering laboratories) and the new facilities in Ciudad Bolívar (an addition to the Faculty of Technology). Academic Expansion: He noted the approval of three science projects, a Doctorate in Arts, and an Institute for Research in Engineering and Innovation. Recognition to the Community: Finally, Dr. García stressed that the decoration is a recognition of the entire university community (teachers, students, officials, workers) and not just himself as a circumstantial figure.Ítem Revista de la Mañana.

Key Points of the Interview: Commitment to Public Education: The Councilman reiterates his main commitment to promoting and guaranteeing greater resources for public higher education in Bogotá, considering that this is where the main social debt lies. University Achievements: He highlights the institution's progress, which has gone from shining due to corruption scandals to shining for academic excellence, thanks to the community's commitment. He mentions the high-quality accreditation and the successful obtaining of the "pro university" stamp (a special tax/levy for funding the university). Infrastructure Growth: He emphasizes the ongoing expansion projects aimed at increasing coverage: Campus in Bosa (already delivered and operational). Upcoming campus in Ciudad Bolívar (in the El Ensueño project). Unfinished project in Aduanilla de Paiva, with plans to build almost two additional hectares. Strategic Integration: He expresses the desire for the university to be integrated into the city's major strategic projects, such as locating the Faculty of Health Sciences in Ciudad Salud and strengthening the Faculty of Arts in the Bronx project (Orange Economy). Future Vision and Call to Students: He expresses the objective of turning the Distrital into the best regional university in Colombia. Furthermore, he calls upon the students to, beyond the expansion of infrastructure, drive the renewal of the university, dignify the institution, and contribute their knowledge to the growth of the city.Ítem Revista de la Mañana.

La educació integral y el papel de la familia: Claves para la transformación en la primera infancia, según la rectora Patricia Macioliini(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Macioli, Patricia; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de CaldasThe text is an interview with Patricia Macioli, Rector of the Alessandro Volta school/gymnasium and representative for Italy at the Fifth International Congress on Early Childhood Education. Macioli underscores the need to transform traditional preschool towards an education that views the child as an integral and unique being, valuing all their characteristics and aspects of their personality (reason, affectivity, sensitivity). Play and ludic activities are fundamental, as they are the child's natural mode of relating to the world. The objective is not just to develop specific subjects, but skills that allow the child to face the future. A core and fundamental aspect of the new educational model is the union and coherence between the family and the school/college. Macioli emphasizes that the family is the main protagonist in a child's education and the school acts as an ally that broadens the child's environment. The transition from home to school must be "supremely tender," offering the child the same protection, attention, and affection they find at home. Regarding the current complacency and manipulation of children towards parents and teachers, Macioli recommends always focusing on the educational goal: the child's full development, which includes the capacity to love, accept others, and collaborate. Educating them in their relationship with reality and others implies preventing them from being "overbearing" or "arrogant." She mentions Italy as a leading country and an example of excellence in early childhood education, attributing this to its historical tradition of welcoming others and its attention to the weakest members, such as children. Italy promotes personalized attention and viewing the real child in their uniqueness and integrality. Finally, she highlights that any government (including Colombia) must see early childhood education as the best investment for the country's future and transformation. Regarding early schooling (daycare), she points out that it is positive as long as there is total coherence and security between the family environment and the educational environment, and there is investment in teacher training.

This salsa track is a preview of her upcoming album, "Cuba Linda" (Beautiful Cuba), which is set to be released in the second half of the year and was recorded in Cuba. Maite explains that the collaboration with Vicente García came about easily, as he was enthusiastic about the project and the opportunity to record in Havana under the direction of Colombian producer Juancho Valencia (from Puerto Candelaria) and the Cuban Alain Pérez, who is also the song's composer. The album's first single was "Casi muero" (I Almost Died), recorded with the Orquesta Aragón. In addition to Vicente García, the "Cuba Linda" album will include other notable collaborations, such as Robertón (from Los Van Van) and Goyo (from ChocQuibTown), as well as Juancho Valencia's participation on various instruments. As an exclusive, Maite announces that the album will feature an instrumental track with a chorus that she composed herself. Finally, Maite, who considers herself Colombian despite maintaining her Dutch nationality for travel reasons, invites the public to listen to the single "Ayúdame Inspiración" on digital platforms.

Análisis Crítico de conflictos: Siria,Frontera Colombo-Ecuatoriana y Venezuela(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. Emisora LAUD 90.4 FM) Currea Lugo de, Victor; Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas1. The War in Syria: De Currea Lugo argues that the US, French, and British airstrikes are symbolic, ineffective, and counterproductive. He argues that they do not stop the massacre (since less than 1% of deaths are from chemical weapons) and, on the contrary, strengthen nationalism and legitimize Bashar al-Assad's regime, which is winning the war militarily and has no incentive to negotiate. He describes the conflict as a "free-for-all" scenario with multiple internal (regime, rebels, Islamists), regional (Iran, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia), and global (Russia, US) actors, each pursuing their own agenda. He also explains the complex situation of the Kurdish people, a key player who has fought the Islamic State and controls part of northern Syria, but faces hostility from Turkey and an uncertain future. 2. The Colombian-Ecuadorean Border: Following the murder of the Ecuadorian journalists, the analyst describes the border as a reflection of Colombia's structural problems: the absence of a border policy, state neglect, and extreme poverty. He warns that the Nariño region is a hotbed of multiple illegal armed groups (FARC dissidents, ELN, and the Gulf Clan) and is home to international cartels like the Sinaloa cartel, which take advantage of the growth of coca crops and institutional weakness. 3. The Situation in Venezuela: After a month of traveling around the country, De Currea Lugo criticizes the "post-truth" and extreme polarization surrounding the Venezuelan crisis. While confirming that the situation is serious ("Venezuela is screwed"), he clarifies that there is no "famine" on the scale of African countries, although hunger and malnutrition do exist. He denies that anyone is returning to Venezuela, citing migration figures that show a daily flow of people crossing to shop in Colombia and returning. He attributes the crisis not only to Maduro's administration, but to a historical problem of a rentier society dependent on oil that never diversified its economy, a responsibility shared by Chavismo and previous governments. The central message of his speech is an invitation not to "swallow everything," to go to the territory, and to understand the complexity of the conflicts beyond the polarized versions
