Hacer visible lo invisible
Con un enfoque interdisciplinario, esta obra aborda temas fundamentales sobre el cuidado de las personas mayores y quienes se ocupan de su cuidado. Esta obra busca establecer un diálogo desde las diversas disciplinas que se ocupan de reflexionar sobre este tema de vital importancia en nuestra sociedad, ya que desde 2015, cuando surgió la Convención de los derechos humanos de las personas mayores, a nivel regional interamericano en este tema aún no hay suficiente bibliografía, reflexión e investigación. El libro aporta experiencias no solo interdisciplinarias sino que también articula tres temas fundamentales como el cuidado, personas mayores y sus cuidadores, con experiencias de Colombia, Uruguay y España, las cuales enriquecen la construcción que Colombia está haciendo en este ámbito del sistema de cuidado.
New Immigration Destinations
Current population movements involve both established and new destinations, often encompassing marginal and rural communities and resulting in a whole new set of issues for these communities. New Immigration Destinations examines structural forces and individual strategies and behaviour to highlight the opportunities and challenges for ‘new’ destination areas arising from new economic and cultural mobility. Representing a "second wave" in studies of in-migration, this volume examines patterns in "non-traditional" rural and peripheral migration destinations, with a particular case study on Northern Ireland. Indeed, focusing mainly on events in the host society, this book shows how process...

Science by Women
This book provides a roadmap for those embarking on a career in STEM, whether in the research or industry realms. Focusing on paths taken by women, the contributors lend their stories, tips and tricks, and hardships they faced entering into fields historically dominated by men. The authors provide practical advice, highlighting soft skills that are not often taught as modules in the classroom. Topics include research collaborations, performance enhancement, the gender lens in research design and development, imposter syndrome felt by many women in science, ethics in science, scaling feminine leadership, being an influencer as a science leader, and time and resources optimization for career advancement in science from resource-poor settings. Others interested in science and its impacts on society will also find the book informative and timely. As an important part of the Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World (OWSD), University of Port Harcourt Branch Book project, the work hopes to inspire women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure the future in STEM.

The Continuing Professional Development of Physicians
The continuing professional development (CPD) of physicians, formerly called continuing medical education, greatly expands what physicians can do with the help of educational experts to provide optimal patient care. The Continuing Professional Development of Physicians takes the concept of CPD and turns it from theory into practice as an agent for positive physician performance change. In 16 chapters edited and organized into three major sections, more than two dozen noted contributors from throughout the medical education field consider how forces driving the evolution of the physician workforce are affecting the approach to lifelong learning. The importance of physicians reflecting on their clinical experience to direct their learning is emphasized, and specific examples of ways to help the self-directed learner can be found throughout. The Continuing Professional Development of Physicians embraces a broad view of lifelong learning for physicians. All who are dedicated to assisting physicians in that learning and improving health care will find this book to be forward looking, comprehensive, thought provoking, and informative.
Long-Term Macroeconomic Effects of Climate Change: A Cross-Country Analysis
We study the long-term impact of climate change on economic activity across countries, using a stochastic growth model where labor productivity is affected by country-specific climate variables—defined as deviations of temperature and precipitation from their historical norms. Using a panel data set of 174 countries over the years 1960 to 2014, we find that per-capita real output growth is adversely affected by persistent changes in the temperature above or below its historical norm, but we do not obtain any statistically significant effects for changes in precipitation. Our counterfactual analysis suggests that a persistent increase in average global temperature by 0.04°C per year, in th...
