18th International Conference on Soft Computing Models in Industrial and Environmental Applications (SOCO 2023)
This book of Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing contains accepted papers presented at SOCO 2023 conference held in the beautiful and historic city of Salamanca (Spain) in September 2023. Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational techniques in machine learning, computer science, and some engineering disciplines, which investigate, simulate, and analyze very complex issues and phenomena. After a through peer-review process, the 18th SOCO 2023 International Program Committee selected 61 papers which are published in these conference proceedings and represents an acceptance rate of 60%. In this relevant edition, a particular emphasis was put on the organization of sp...
Women in STEM in Higher Education
This open access book addresses challenges related to women in STEM in higher education, presenting research, experiences, studies, and good practices associated with the engagement, access, and retention of women in the STEM disciplines. It also discusses strategies implemented by universities and policymakers to reduce the existing gender gap in these areas. The chapters provide an overview of implementations in different regions of the world and provide numerous examples that can be transferred to other higher education institutions.
Biodegradation of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals

The book provides an understanding of biotechnology-based interventions toward a zero-waste route. KEY FEATURES Provides a deep understanding of biodegradation of toxic pollutants from industries ranging from textiles to pharmaceuticals Presents novel technologies for the sustainable treatment of environmental pollution Revi...
Variation and Evolution
This book is a collection of original studies analyzing how different internal and external factors affect Spanish language variation and evolution across a number of (socio)linguistic scenarios. Its primary goal is to expand our understanding of how native and non-native varieties of Spanish co-exist with other languages and dialects under the influence of several linguistic and extra-linguistic forces. While some papers analyze the linguistic dynamics affecting Spanish grammars from a cross-dialectal perspective, others focus more closely on the relations established between Spanish and other languages with which it is in contact. In particular, some of these studies show how power and pre...
Beyond El Barrio
Freighted with meaning, “el barrio” is both place and metaphor for Latino populations in the United States. Though it has symbolized both marginalization and robust and empowered communities, the construct of el barrio has often reproduced static understandings of Latino life; they fail to account for recent demographic shifts in urban centers such as New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles, and in areas outside of these historic communities. Beyond El Barrio features new scholarship that critically interrogates how Latinos are portrayed in media, public policy and popular culture, as well as the material conditions in which different Latina/o groups build meaningful communities both w...
Sustainable Analytical Techniques in Food Science
Sustainable Analytical Techniques in Food Science covers the most relevant developments for the analytical evaluation and analysis of macro and micronutrients, contaminants, and microbiological studies as well as the approaches in food authentication, and characterization.

Sustainable Agriculture and Global Environmental Health
New technologies have the potential to transform the agri-food industry by improving agricultural productivity. Recent innovations in this sector are making a useful contribution to environmental sustainability as well. This new book presents advanced methods and modern technologies in agri-food sectors to improve environmental health and food security on a global scale. It explores the principles of environmental sustainability and explains how these principles can be applied in practice in agri-food systems. It also provides an accessible framework for the effective management of resources for the reduction of chronic disease in humans and mitigating the degradation of the environment. Key...
Exhibir el lujo. De la intimidad al espectáculo
El libro, resultado del trabajo del Grupo de Investigación Artífice de la Universidad de Zaragoza y de otros especialistas, desarrolla el tema de la exhibición del lujo en diversos ámbitos de la creación artística, musical y literaria, y en un arco cronológico extendido desde la Antigüedad hasta el final de la Edad Moderna. Esta perspectiva amplia y multidisciplinar se orienta además hacia un enfoque historiográfico renovador: el que se pregunta sobre los usos, las funciones y los significados de las creaciones artísticas, musicales y literarias; desde las que satisfacían las necesidades más personales a las que magnificaban los grandiosos espectáculos públicos, en la sociedad de cada momento.
