Language and computers (Open Access)

Lelia Glass, Markus Dickinson, Chris Brew, Detmar Meurers

This book offers an accessible introduction to the ways that language is processed and produced by computers, a field that has recently exploded in interest. The book covers writing systems, tools to help people write, computer-assisted language learning, the multidisciplinary study of text as data, text classification, information retrieval, machine translation, and dialog. Throughout, we emphasize insights from linguistics along with the ethical and social consequences of emerging technology. This book welcomes students from diverse intellectual backgrounds to learn new technical tools and to appreciate rich language data, thus widening the bridge between linguistics and computer science.

Puno: Caso Qali Warma un año de impunidad, fiscalía concluye que no hay responsables

La intoxicación de 23 escolares del colegio Gamaliel Churata en Cabana en la provincia de San Román, tras consumir alimentos del programa Qali Warma,  cumple un año sin que la justicia haya determinado responsables. La fiscal Beatriz Cahuari Durand ha concluido que no existen pruebas suficientes para atribuir responsabilidad penal en un caso que dejó secuelas graves en la salud de los menores.

Los hechos ocurrieron el 25 de marzo de 2024, cuando los estudiantes consumieron arroz chaufa preparado con conservas de pollo “Don Simón”, fabricadas por Peruvian Aliment Company SAC, vinculada a Frigoinca y su propietario Nilo Burga Malca. Los niños presentaron síntomas devastadores como fiebre, vómitos intensos y dolores estomacales que requirieron atención médica de emergencia.

La investigación fiscal está plagada de irregularidades. El informe del 21 de noviembre de 2024 revela la inexistencia de un análisis completo de las historias clínicas, imposibilitando determinar el verdadero impacto en la salud de los menores. La fiscal ha optado por una reserva provisional de la investigación, dilatando así el esclarecimiento de los hechos.

Un informe controversial de Ronald Loza Machicao, director de Higiene Alimentaria de Diresa Puno, certificó la aptitud de las conservas para consumo. Sin embargo, posteriores investigaciones periodísticas revelaron posibles pagos indebidos para evitar sanciones a la empresa proveedora de alimentos.

Declaraciones reveladoras de Noemí Alvarado Llanos, representante de Frigoinca, sugieren adulteración de conservas con aditivos y mezcla de carne de caballo. Estas revelaciones cuestionan la legitimidad de los análisis realizados por Mevalab, laboratorio con vínculos directos con la empresa alimentaria.

El abogado César Quispe Calsín, representante legal de los escolares, ha denunciado públicamente la posible impunidad del caso. Ha manifestado su preocupación por la falta de avances en la investigación y la aparente intención de archivar el expediente sin determinar responsabilidades concretas.

Los niños continúan sufriendo graves secuelas de salud. Muchos de ellos no pueden asistir normalmente a clases, presentando síntomas como inflamaciones, dolores estomacales severos y problemas neurológicos que interfieren directamente con su desarrollo académico y personal.

La investigación ha trascendido incluso las fronteras nacionales. El equipo legal ha presentado una medida cautelar ante la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, buscando visibilizar la vulneración de derechos fundamentales de los menores afectados por esta negligencia alimentaria.

El caso revela profundas deficiencias en el programa social Qali Warma, ahora denominado Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar Comunitaria Wasi Mikuna, exponiendo la fragilidad de los sistemas de control alimentario y la necesidad urgente de garantizar la seguridad nutricional de los escolares peruanos.

Update from August 2021:

Bolivia's Lake Poopo was once a fountain of life for local inhabitants, who fished from its teeming waters and farmed along its banks. Now it is a desert. Scientists say the one-time lake, which sprawls across Bolivia's sun-drenched, high-altitude altiplano, has fallen victim to decades of water diversion for regional irrigation needs. And a warmer, drier climate has made its recovery increasingly unlikely. "It's like a perfect storm," says Jorge Molina, a researcher with the Universidad Mayor de San Andres. [...] The lake, Bolivia's second largest, is very shallow, and has traditionally ebbed and flowed, according to both scientists and the lake's long-time Aymara inhabitants. Valerio Rojas [...] "In our Aymara language it is said that: 'Our mother earth is tired'." [...] “It is no longer a functional lake. A lake that dries up too often is no longer functional for fauna, flora and biodiversity," Molina told Reuters. The drought is also driving away the communities that once lived along its banks, says Benedicta Uguera, an Indigenous woman from Untavi [...]. “The families decided to leave the island, because we cannot survive without water and there is no more life," she said

Original post:

A huge lake in Bolivia has almost entirely disappeared.

Lake Poopó used to be the country’s second largest, after Lake Titicaca [the largest freshwater lake on the South American continent], and just a few decades ago in its wet season peak it would stretch almost 70km end to end and cover an area of 3,000 sq km – the size of a small country like Luxembourg.

Today, the lake is largely a flat expanse of salty mud.

What happened? We’ve looked into this in various scientific studies over the past few years, and the answer is a mix of both climate factors and more direct human factors such as too much irrigation. [...]

Lake Poopó, is found at nearly 3,700 meters above sea level in the “Altiplano”, a large plateau in the centre of the Andes mountains. It is an endorheic basin: nothing flows out, and water is lost only through evaporation. Since dissolved minerals stick around when water is evaporated, the lake is as salty as the ocean – in some places considerably saltier. Nonetheless, some decades ago Poopó was home to large communities of plants and animals and was a source of resources for the region’s inhabitants. Nowadays, the situation is drastically different. Water levels have declined over the past two decades, and eventually the lake dried out entirely at the end of 2015 after the extreme weather phenomenon of El Niño.

This was ecological devastation. Many of the lake’s 200 or so animal species disappeared, including reptiles, mammals, birds – it hosts a huge community of flamingos – and of course fish. There was also an exodus of rural people to the nearest big cities.

Worst affected of all are the Urus-Muratos, an Indigenous community whose entire way of life was based around fishing Lake Poopó.

But during the past few decades, much of the Desaguadero was diverted for irrigation, so there was less water left to top up the lake. As Poopó is unusually shallow, mostly just a few metres deep, relatively small changes in overall water volume make a big difference to its surface area. Though the lake has partially recovered due to above-average precipitation in the years since 2015, the situation is still dire. [...]

We found the highest increases in water losses took place in the area around the city of Oruro, which lies to the north of the lake. This is an area with lots of human activity, urban growth, new highways, and where river water has been used for mining and agriculture. Bolivia is the biggest producer of quinoa in the world and the crop increased by 45.5% from 1980 to 2011. As quinoa became more popular around the world over the past decade, production increased a further 60% in just five years to meet global demand.
