Cooperació descentralitzada i economia social i solidària
Aquest llibre analitza i reflexiona sobre tres àmbits profundament relacionats: les Polítiques de Cooperació al Desenvolupament, en especial la Cooperació Descentralitzada a nivell català, les empreses de l’Economia Social i Solidària, i l’Ètica del Desenvolupament, com a ètica aplicada en aquest àmbit. L’objectiu és demostrar que la incardinació de l’Economia Social i Solidària en el sistema de cooperació, no només és desitjable, sinó també factible. Aquest entroncament provocarà que la política de cooperació guanyi legitimitat social i que les seves accions tinguin més possibilitats de reeixir, dos imperatius morals en tractar-se d’un àmbit en què les persones són l’objectiu últim i, alhora, el principal recurs.
Regards Croises Sur la Gouvernance
L'ouvrage se propose de faire la synthèse des principaux développements sur le concept de "gouvernance", de remonter à ses origines, d'en explorer les acceptions, d'en décliner les paradigmes, d'en exposer les leviers, les enjeux, les acteurs et les territoires et d'en dévoiler les soubassements.Il évoque l'interdépendance entre les différents paliers de gouvernance et soulève la problématique de la gouvernance nationale, les difficultés d'adoption d'une gouvernance mondiale et les handicaps à une gouvernance régionale. L'auteur cite le cas de l'UMA, paralysée par la ''question'' du Sahara occidental marocain qu'il compare au Sahara méridional algérien.L'ouvrage incite à la réflexion à une gouvernance responsable et montre l'intérêt de la recherche sur la gouvernance pour les PVD et le monde Arabo-musulman qui subit, en ce moment, de profonds bouleversements sous la pression internationale véhiculée par un acteur ''apolitique'' insoupçonné : la société civile qui a surgi de l'ombre.
WJP Rule of Law Index 2016
The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
Standing up for a Sustainable World
The world has witnessed extraordinary economic growth, poverty reduction and increased life expectancy and population since the end of WWII, but it has occurred at the expense of undermining life support systems on Earth and subjecting future generations to the real risk of destabilising the planet. This timely book exposes and explores this colossal environmental cost and the dangerous position the world is now in. Standing up for a Sustainable World is written by and about key individuals who have not only understood the threats to our planet, but also become witness to them and confronted them.

Deep Learning
An introduction to a broad range of topics in deep learning, covering mathematical and conceptual background, deep learning techniques used in industry, and research perspectives. “Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive book on the subject.” —Elon Musk, cochair of OpenAI; cofounder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Deep learning is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. Because the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs. The hierarchy of concep...
Hidradenitis Suppurativa
This is the first book to specifically deal with hidradenitis suppurativa, a common but overlooked disease that regularly causes significant problems for both patients and doctors. The first section of this book presents the best current knowledge about diagnosis, pathogenesis and complications. The second section offers comprehensive guidelines on diagnosis and therapy. The book will assist doctors in providing a broader range of treatments for their patients. To increase the practical usefulness of the book, a description of the patients’ perspective and patient information is included.
The Andean Cloud Forest
A book focused solely on Andean Cloud Forests (ACF) has never been published. ACF are high biodiversity ecosystems in the Neotropics with a large proportion of endemic species, and are important for the hydrology of entire regions. They provide water for large parts of the Amazon basin, for example. Here I take advantage of my many years working in ACF in Ecuador, to edit this book that contains the following sections: (1) ACF over space and time, (2) Hydrology, (3) Light and the Carbon cycle, (4) Soil, litter, fungi and nutrient cycling, (5) Plants, (6) Animals, and (7) Human impacts and management. Under this premise, international experts contributed chapters that consist of reviews of what is known about their topic, of what research they have done, and of what needs to be done in the future. This work is suitable for graduate students, professors, scientists, and researcher-oriented managers.
Stem Cells in Aesthetic Procedures
Interest in the use of stem cells in aesthetic procedures has been increasing rapidly, reflecting the widespread acknowledgment of the tremendous potential of stem cell fat transfer. This is, however, the first book to be devoted entirely to the subject. The book opens by reviewing the history of the development of pluripotent stem cells and the results of research into the biochemistry and physiology of stem cells. Adipose tissue anatomy and survival are discussed and the wide range of aesthetic procedures involving stem cell fat transfer are then described in detail. These procedures relate to the face, breast, buttocks, legs, hands, penis and Poland syndrome. In addition, potential risks and complications are identified. The book has been written by leading experts and will be an invaluable source of information for students, beginners and experienced surgeons in a range of specialties.
