El presente compendio es una obra dedicada al envejecimiento, que busca evidenciar la primera versión del Programa del Posgrado de Geriatría y Gerontología que, desde el año 2015, se impartió en la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE), como parte de los 18 programas de especialidades médicas de la Facultad de Medicina. La primera versión de Geriatría y Gerontología se desarrolló con 5 cohortes. En Ecuador, esta especialidad es ofertada únicamente en una Institución educativa superior: la PUCE, que fomenta la formación de profesionales en esta rama con énfasis en la investigación en adultos mayores, un grupo vulnerable de la sociedad. En el programa, los estudian...
"The ethnics are coming" --and the fear of many observers is that the quality of traditional disciplines will suffer as a result. Immigrant Voices: In Search of Pedagogical Reform is a new book which shows that such fear is unfounded. Ethnic scholars of international repute come together in this new collection of essays to meditate upon the single most important social phenomena in America today: Immigration. Due to the ever increasing ethnic diversity in today's school populations, the need to explore this issue has become more critical than ever. Giving voice to a broad range of complex experiences, contributors from China, Taiwan, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, and Slovakia provide insight into the numerous obstacles immigrants must overcome in order to succeed in both the academy and society at large. Offering broad theoretical perspectives, as well as powerful and unforgettable personal narratives, this book serves as a invaluable resource for continued efforts toward educational equity.
The “omics” era has given a new perspective to the findings on the origin and evolution of the process of translation. This book provides insight into the evolution of the translation process and machinery from a modern perspective. Written by leading experts in molecular biology, this text looks into the origins and evolution of the protein synthetic machinery.
Technical problems require technical solutions that are innovative, simple, cheap, robust and easy to maintain. This book lists 100 winning inventions in the first International Inventors Award competition, organized in Stockholm.
Written in a comprehensive yet accessible style, Urban Violence, Resilience and Security investigates the diverse nature of urban violence within Latin America, Asia and Africa. It further analyzes how regular and irregular governing mechanisms can provide human security, despite the presence of chronic violence.
Para iniciar con la presentación de esta obra, se consideran las características actuales del contexto mundial que han propiciado la conformación de sociedades cada vez más complejas, y hacen necesaria la reflexión en torno al papel de la ciencia en el siglo XXI. De igual forma, en la valoración de un nuevo compromiso social de la ciencia, que se refleje en una mayor responsabilidad por parte de las comunidades científicas para coadyuvar en la solución de problemáticas emergentes, así como en la aplicación de estrategias comunicativas óptimas que garanticen la apropiación social del conocimiento. Lo anterior, tiene su fundamento desde el análisis de política pública de organismos internacionales, siendo uno de los documentos rectores, el Informe Comunicación Pública de la Ciencia, propuesto en el año 2021 por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (Unesco). Su enfoque está en el incentivo e implementación de acciones para la apropiación social del conocimiento, la participación ciudadana en ciencia y tecnología, y fomentar el diálogo entre ciencia y ciudadanía.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the XVI Multidisciplinary International Congress on Science and Technology (CIT 2021), held in Quito, Ecuador, on 14–18 June 2021, proudly organized by Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE in collaboration with GDEON. CIT is an international event with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes the dissemination of advances in Science and Technology research through the presentation of keynote conferences. In CIT, theoretical, technical, or application works that are research products are presented to discuss and debate ideas, experiences, and challenges. Presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, the book discusses the following topics: · Electrical and Electronic· Energy and Mechanics
The goal of Advances in Plant Biotechnology is to integrate the most recent knowledge on tissue culture, secondary metabolites production under controlled conditions, scaling up to produce them at bioreactor level, and their industrial applications. The biosynthetic pathways and the factors that affect them and the accumulation of metabolites, including metabolomics in medicinal plants, are key components as well. Several extraction and encapsulation technological procedures are reviewed. The structure and function of metabolites from selected commercial crops are reported in detail. Finally, items of paramount importance, such as bioavailability and stability of metabolites in pharma and fo...
