Becoming Gods
Through rich ethnographic narrative, Becoming Gods examines how a cohort of doctors-in-training in the Mexican city of Puebla learn to become doctors. Smith-Oka draws from compelling fieldwork, ethnography, and interviews with interns, residents, and doctors that tell the story of how medical trainees learn to wield new tools, language, and technology and how their white coat, stethoscope, and newfound technical, linguistic, and sensory skills lend them an authority that they cultivate with each practice, transforming their sense of self. Becoming Gods illustrates the messy, complex, and nuanced nature of medical training, where trainees not only have to acquire a monumental number of skills but do so against a backdrop of strict hospital hierarchy and a crumbling national medical system that deeply shape who they are.
Urban Transport XXIV
Providing a collection of research works on the continuing requirement for better urban transport systems, this volume consists of papers presented at the 24th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The need for better urban transport systems and for a healthier environment has resulted in a wide range of research originating from many different countries. These studies highlight the importance of innovative systems, new approaches and original ideas, which need to be thoroughly tested and critically evaluated before they can be implemented in practice. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration with telecommunications systems and IT applications in order to ...
Water and Society V
Encompassing papers form the 2019 Water and Society Conference, this book is a collection of latest trans-disciplinary research on issues related to the nature of water, and its use and exploitation by society. This book demonstrates the need to bridge the gap between specialists in physical sciences, biology, environmental sciences and health. Over the centuries, civilisations have relied on the availability of clean and inexpensive water. This can no longer be taken for granted as the need for water continues to increase due to the pressure from growing global population demanding higher living standards. Agriculture and industry, major users of water, are at the same time those that contr...
Territorios y violencias estructurales en el área de la salud - VOL. 2
El presente libro es el segundo de la colección de la línea de "Territorios y violencias en el área de la salud instituiciones y estructuras" el cual está enfocado en esta ocasión a la violencia estructural, reflexionada, descrita y analizada desde diferentes perspectivas disciplinares, todo lo cual pretende introducir al lector desde los conceptos más generales del tema, a problemas más concretos y propuestas de análisis en diferentes contextos de América Latina. La violencia estructural es anónima e ignorada la mayoría de las veces, por lo tanto es necesario conceptualizarla, describirla, problematizarla y evidenciarla en los diferentes escenarios incluyendo aquellos donde la salud sea el foco de atención.

Urban Growth and the Circular Economy
Presented at the 1st International Conference on Urban Growth and the Circular Economy that was held in Alicante, Spain the papers included in this book focus on the continuing and rapid growth of cities and their regions of influence and how that has led to the need to find new solutions which allow for promoting their sustainable development. The quest for the Sustainable City has until recently focused on the efficient use of resources with the application of technical advances giving rise to the definition of SMART Cities. The economic model emphasised however is still “linear” in the sense that the design and consumption follows the pattern of extraction of natural resources, manufa...
Acrylic Polymers in Healthcare
This book on Acrylic Polymers for Healthcare presents eight chapters organised into three parts by providing new ideas in design, synthesis and a detailed study of new acrylate materials in healthcare applications. Part I represents Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 focussing on toning up of technologies for making dental dentures with better properties. Part II comprises Chapters 5 and 6 dealing with synthetic polymer-based nanoparticles as intelligent drug delivery systems and bismuth nanoparticles for improved green light emission. Part III represents Chapters 7 and 8 describing the aspects of mitigation of acrylamide in foods in the context of an African perspective and the importance of acrylic-based polymeric adsorbents so that the reader can get an idea about the various types and forms of polymeric materials used for the removal of heavy metals from water.
Territorios y volencias en el área de la salud
Este es el primero de una serie de libros que pretenden marcar las pautas y las experiencias al momento de estudiar, investigar o implementar acciones y políticas en salud tomando en consideración los territorios no sólo como espacios geopolíticos, sino como escenarios de acción socio-cultural con sus diferentes expresiones, sus conflictos, sus dinámicas y su biodiversidad. Esta colaboración de países Latinoamericanos pone en el centro a los colectivos, sus necesidades en salud y los retos que esto significa para todos los que estamos comprometidos con una salud incluyente, pluricultural y solidaria, lo cual requiere un trabajo colaborativo y cada día más creativo sumando la experiencia de cada uno de los actores.
