Biodesign in high schools
Traditional education, which is mainly based on evaluating theoretical content at the end of a course, is not in keeping with the skillset we require in the twenty-first century. Today, we need creative and innovative individuals who can think critically, who are capable of learning to learn, and who have complex problem-solving skills. We need people who can work collaboratively using transdisciplinary communication skills. We need citizens who are aware of local needs but have a global vision. They must make decisions not only based on their own well-being, but also in the best interests of the community and the planet. They must understand that the solution requires a balance. People can acquire these skills through design thinking, which builds the learning process by carrying out projects, and theorizes based on set challenges. Biodesign for High Schools is a pedagogical proposal that combines scientific topics with a creative approach; it offers a plethora of possibilities to prepare future high school graduates to respond to the needs of today's world.
Technology, Sustainability and the Fashion Industry
There is widespread rhetorical agreement that the fashion industry must get itself onto a more sustainable footing. What does this mean in practice, and how can sustainability be achieved in different regions around the world? This book brings together expert scholars and reflective practitioners via a network of dialogue and exchange to help drive forward a sustainable future for the fashion industry. With a focus on technological innovation, the contributions to this book provide a range of case studies from design thinking, through digital clothing and inclusive fashion. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of circular business and the fashion industry, and provides a unique resource for readers seeking to understand more about the need for responsible fashion and how technology might be able to help.
Biodiseño en colegios
La educación tradicional, que se basa principalmente en evaluar un contenido teórico al finalizar el curso, no se alinea con el desarrollo de competencias que requiere el ciudadano del siglo XXI. Hoy necesitamos individuos creativos e innovadores, con pensamiento crítico, capaces de aprender a aprender y con habilidades de resolución de problemas complejos. Personas que trabajen de manera colaborativa con habilidades de comunicación transdisciplinar. Ciudadanos que conozcan las necesidades locales con visión global y que tengan la capacidad de tomar decisiones y actuar considerando aquello que favorece el bienestar propio, el de la comunidad y el del planeta, y que comprendan que la solución radica en el equilibrio entre ellos.Estas habilidades pueden ser adquiridas por medio del pensamiento de diseño, el cual construye el aprendizaje mediante el desarrollo de proyectos y se teoriza de acuerdo con el reto que ha sido planteado. Biodiseño en colegios presenta una propuesta pedagógica en combinación con temáticas científicas y brinda un universo de posibilidades que prepara a los futuros bachilleres para responder a las necesidades del mundo de hoy.
The Myth of Community
Papers presented at a two-day workshop at Institute of Development Studies at University of Sussex, U.K. in December 1993.
Before Time Began
- Overview of the Aboriginal Art, focusing on the first large-scale exhibition staged by the Fondation Opale (Switzerland)The common thread running right through this work is man's link with the land, the legacy of the ancestors that still echoes in the present. It is no accident that Before Time Began is one of the expressions used by Aboriginal artists in central Australia to refer to the creation of the world, in an oneiric sense. Understanding and following this underlying bond enables the reader to explore the art's narrative content in its association with dreams and the passage of time, elements that inevitably distinguish the temporal dimension in the different societies. But it is a...
Dissident Cartographies
The contemporary city (in Spain and Latin-America) and the ensemble of social, cultural, and personal relationships are the reference points for this project. The new city that converts itself into a metropolis unites millions of people through economic, social, and cultural integration. This publication reflects on the 'new city' through works by international contemporary artists including; Antoni Abad, Carmela Garca, Hanna Collins, Mario Navarro, Alexander Apstol, Minerva Cuevas, Carlos Garaioca, Grupo de Arte Callejero and Itziar Okariz.
Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer
Telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in “cancer stem cells” has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.
