Dramatized Societies
Over the last decade Spain and Mexico have both produced an extraordinary wealth of television drama. Drawing on both national practices of production and reception and international theories of textual analysis this book offers the first study of contemporary quality TV drama in two countries where television has displaced cinema as the creative medium that shapes the national narrative. As dramatized societies, Spain and Mexico are thus at once reflected and refracted by the new series on the small screen.
Human Computer Interaction
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th bi-annual Latin American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, CLIHC 2013, held in Guanacasta, Costa Rica, in December 2013. The 11 full papers and 14 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers address all current topics in HCI such as: cultural issues, assistive technologies, usability, accessibility, multimodal inter-faces, design issues, HCI education, and visualization and evaluation techniques, among others.
Managing Complex Tasks with Systems Thinking
This book is about improving human decision making and performance in complex tasks. Utilizing systems thinking approach, this book presents innovative and insightful solutions to various managerial issues in various domains including agriculture, education, climate change, digital transformation, health care, supply chains, and sustainability. Practical insights and operational causal models are systematically presented. The key features of the didactic approach of this book are core knowledge, numerous tables and figures throughout the text, system archetypes, and causal loop models. This book serves as a text for college and university courses on Systems Thinking for Management Decision Making in Complex Tasks. Researchers use the developed “causal models” to design and evaluate various decision-aiding technologies. It is used as a source of practical information for a broad community of decision-makers, researchers, and practitioners concerned with the issue of improving human performance in complex organizational tasks.
