This book gathers the joint proceedings of the VIII Latin American Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CLAIB 2019) and the XLII National Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CNIB 2019). It reports on the latest findings and technological outcomes in the biomedical engineering field. Topics include: biomedical signal and image processing; biosensors, bioinstrumentation and micro-nanotechnologies; biomaterials and tissue engineering. Advances in biomechanics, biorobotics, neurorehabilitation, medical physics and clinical engineering are also discussed. A special emphasis is given to practice-oriented research and to the implementation of new technologies in clinical settings. The book provides academics and professionals with extensive knowledge on and a timely snapshot of cutting-edge research and developments in the field of biomedical engineering.
Las regiones indígenas a prueba de la etnografía
Los ensayos que conforman este volumen son producto de un ejercicio de reflexión colectiva, ¿a qué obedecen las palabras “regiones”, “indígenas” y “etnografía” en el título de uno de los proyectos de mayor envergadura en el quehacer etnográfico mexicano de los últimos veinte años: el Programa Nacional Etnografía de las Regiones Indígenas de México? Escudriñar en el título, implica reabrir los debates iniciales en los que se cimentó un programa que buscaba resarcir las limitaciones de la etnografía producida en México.
Psychoanalysis, Clinic and Context
Psychoanalysis is a strange and mysterious practice. In his new book, Ian Parker offers insights into his own experiences, first as trainee then as analyst, the common assumptions about psychoanalysis which can be so misleading, as well as a map of the key debates in the field today. Beginning with his own history, at first avoiding psychoanalysis before training as a Lacanian, Parker moves on to explore the wider historical development of clinical practice, making an argument for the importance of language, culture and history in this process. The book offers commentary on the key schools of thought, and how they manifest in the practice of psychoanalysis in different regions around the world. Psychoanalysis, Clinic and Context will be of great value to practitioners and social theorists who want to know how psychoanalytic ideas play out in training and the clinic, for trainees and students of psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and for the general reader who wants to know what psychoanalysis is and how it works.
Vovozar
Nestas páginas coloridas e cheias de humor, Maria Heloísa da Silva Ramos e Luiz Briquet falam sobre a delícia de vovozar, isto é, ser avó ou avô. Apresentando as mais divertidas e emocionantes situações, eles ilustram o dia a dia de uma avó louca por seus netos, que dança, canta, conversa, se emociona e até ri do novo desenho na parede feito por eles. Afinal, amor incondicional é isso mesmo, não é?
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
La invención de la música indígena de México
¿Dónde comienza y dónde acaba lo que se define como la música, lo indígena y lo nacional? No se trata aquí de describir o teorizar acerca de las músicas nacionales sino de los modelos de discurso que les conciernen, sus prácticas de promoción y conservación, las políticas culturales en torno suyo, las disciplinas que la indagan, la postulan como tema o simplemente la parasitan. Hay en ello un genuino acto de “invención”, de construcción social, que establece actores, propósitos y responsables. En este proceso Alonso Bolaños reivindica –contra corriente– el aporte de algunos participantes que no han escrito textos, ni siquiera comentarios, pero que han sido instrumentales en la búsqueda y el registro de las músicas para luego tornarse casi invisibles, apenas referidos en listas de apellidos amontonadas en el fondo de las páginas.
Direito À Memória E À Verdade
O livro estabelece paralelismos entre o período militar e a situação atual do país, indicada por muitos especialistas como uma pós-democracia. Isto pois, além de o Brasil estar vivenciando uma instabilidade política inegável – com o impeachment de uma presidenta em 2016, considerado por muitos como um golpe parlamentar –, apontam-se graves desrespeitos aos direitos e garantias constitucionais. Nesse sentido, o sistema político vigente revela-se extremamente excludente, com um agigantamento do Estado Penal, visando sempre à garantia das condições necessárias para o desenvolvimento do neoliberalismo. Nesse contexto, verifica-se uma intensificação das teses revisionistas e ne...
Decentralised Governance
For developing countries, decentralising power from central government to local authorities holds the promise of deepening democracy, empowering citizens, improving public services and boosting economic growth. But the evidence on when and how decentralisation can bring these benefits has been mixed. Under the wrong conditions, decentralised power can be captured by unrepresentative elites or undermined by corruption and the clientelistic distribution of public resources. The picture is complex, and we still do not understand enough about what factors can contribute to creating better local government, and to what effect. Decentralised Governance brings together a new generation of political...
Huir para adelante
¿Cuál es la función del inconsciente del analista en el encuentro clínico con un niño? ¿Cómo situarse en armonía con esa comunicación entre inconscientes que proponía Freud, o cómo valerse del inconsciente para producir una interpretación, según sugería Lacan? Función de la palabra, campo del lenguaje, lalengua... ¿cómo favorecerlos en el encuentro clínico con un niño? Y puesto que al igual que el adulto el niño también está sujeto a la ausencia de proporción sexual, es él mismo con frecuencia quien encarna el resto de ese cálculo de proporción imposible. Pero entonces, ¿cuál es la mejor posición para un analista que debe acompañar un recorrido bajo el signo de ...
Mexican Travel Writing
This book is a detailed study of salient examples of Mexican travel writing from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While scholars have often explored the close relationship between European or North American travel writing and the discourse of imperialism, little has been written on how postcolonial subjects might relate to the genre. This study first traces the development of a travel-writing tradition based closely on European imperialist models in mid-nineteenth-century Mexico. It then goes on to analyse how the narrative techniques of postmodernism and the political agenda of postcolonialism might combine to help challenge the genre's imperialist tendencies in late twentieth-century works of travel writing, focusing in particular on works by writers Juan Villoro, Héctor Perea and Fernando Solana Olivares.
