El presente libro es un producto colectivo, resultado de la colaboración de académicos comprometidos con el campo de la psicología de la salud y que han sido convocados mediante la Red de Procesos Psicosociales, Clínica y de la Salud, quienes forman parte del Sistema Mexicano de Investigadores en Psicología. La obra consta de tres secciones en las que se muestran trabajos que se desarrollan en escenarios reales, con investigación y validación de estrategias de promoción, prevención y rehabilitación de la salud, así como técnicas con apoyo empírico, confiables y válidas en la atención de las enfermedades crónicas y degenerativas, para poder mantener sanas a las personas que presentan factores de riesgo y que podrían desarrollar alguna enfermedad de no tomar las precauciones correspondientes. Los autores están convencidos de que la investigación y la intervención que se gesta en las universidades aporta conocimiento importante para la solución de problemas de salud. Este compendio representa un esfuerzo por hacer asequible parte de este conocimiento a los diversos profesionistas en psicología y salud, así como a los especialistas de otras áreas y estudiantes.
Dimensión emocional: abordajes analíticos y exploraciones empíricas socioantropológicas e historiográficas es el noveno volumen de la Colección Emociones e lnterdisciplina de la Red Nacional de Investigación en Estudios Socioculturales de las Emociones. El propósito de este proyecto editorial es colocar en el centro del análisis a las dimensiones emocional y afectiva para explicar los fenómenos sociales en contextos del presente y el pasado, para lo cual se requiere de abordajes que rebasen las fronteras disciplinares y pongan en diálogo distintos saberes. El estudio sociocultural de las emociones es un campo legítimo de conocimiento y en ascenso en México y América Lat...
The Butthole Surfers remain one of the most enigmatic bands in the history of rock music. Most of their records have no information of any kind, and often with the suggestion that you play them at 69 rpm.... They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s, and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of former band members in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they've attracted. Here for the first time is the complete story of one of the most controversial and dangerous bands to have emerged from the ashes of the punk rock movement. 'Let's Go to Hell' compiles the scattered memories into the first comprehensive overview of the band. Featuring exclusive interviews, tons of rare and unpublished photographs, and analysis of the band's vast recorded (and unrecorded) efforts, 'Let's Go to Hell' finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
The handbook provides an understanding of consolidated processing and biorefinery systems for the production of bio-based chemicals and value-added bioproducts from renewable sources. The chapters look at a variety of bioenergy technological advances and improvements in the energy and materials sectors that aim to lower our dependence of fossil fuels and consequently reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The volume looks at a selection of processes for the production of energy and biomaterials, including the Fischer–Tropsch process, gasification, pyrolysis, combustion, fermentation from renewable sources (such as, plants, animals and their byproducts), and others. Applications that are ex...
Publisher description
This book gathers the joint proceedings of the VIII Latin American Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CLAIB 2019) and the XLII National Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CNIB 2019). It reports on the latest findings and technological outcomes in the biomedical engineering field. Topics include: biomedical signal and image processing; biosensors, bioinstrumentation and micro-nanotechnologies; biomaterials and tissue engineering. Advances in biomechanics, biorobotics, neurorehabilitation, medical physics and clinical engineering are also discussed. A special emphasis is given to practice-oriented research and to the implementation of new technologies in clinical settings. The book provides academics and professionals with extensive knowledge on and a timely snapshot of cutting-edge research and developments in the field of biomedical engineering.

The quarter century from 1964 to 1989 was the "time of the generals," the most clearly defined era of military rule and influence in the history of Latin America. The effects of this rule were most evident in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Chile, where French- and German-style military professionalism developed into professional militarism. Frederick M. Nunn shows that the mentality of Latin American generals is typical of a worldwide military ethos but that its application is unique in the context of individual countries. In detailing the pervasiveness of this ethos worldwide, Nunn enables a better understanding of the willingness of Latin American military leaders to intervene in government, and of their activities once in power.
