La juventud es una etapa compleja y cambiante en la que se afianza la construcción de la identidad personal, laboral, social. En ese periodo de tránsito a la vida adulta se consolida un proyecto de vida independiente que requiere altos niveles de autonomía. Profesionales de diferentes ámbitos -educativo, social y psicológico fundamentalmente- se plantean como objetivo de sus intervenciones fortalecer esos procesos de autonomía juvenil y, para ello, requieren de instrumentos que les ayuden a evaluarlos. Ante esta necesidad, los grupos de investigación Psicología, Ciclo, Vital y Derechos de la Universidad Santo Tomás (Colombia) y el Grupo internacional TABA sobre Inclusión Social y Derechos Humanos de la UNED (España) han construido esta Escala de Autonomía en el Tránsito a la Vida Adulta (EDATVA). Se trata de un instrumento estandarizado, de fácil cumplimentación, con 19 ítems distribuidos en cuatro dimensiones -capacidad de autoorganización, capacidad crítica, comprensión del...
El Proyecto Acompaña de Cruz Roja Española atiende cada año a miles de jóvenes que alcanzan la mayoría de edad y que han crecido bajo el Sistema de Protección a la Infancia, separados de sus familias y que egresan del sistema teniendo que afrontar una emancipación precoz y forzosa, que los predispone a una situación de riesgo de exclusión social.

This book, now in a second revised edition, casts light on the often complex diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors and tumor-like conditions by drawing on the experience of the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute during more than 100 years of treatment and research in the field. The different entities are described from a multidisciplinary perspective, highlighting clinical, radiological, and histological correlations. Particular emphasis is placed on differential diagnosis, which often needs to take into account nontumoral conditions. The recent identification of further significant biological and genetic features, and the impact of these discoveries on the classification of round cell tumors, vascular lesions, and spindle/pleomorphic entities in bone, is also extensively discussed. The Rizzoli case archive dates back to September 1900 and contains the original material relating to more than 29,000 bone lesions and 11,000 soft tissue lesions. It is a fabulously rich resource, and this book will be invaluable for pathologists, radiologists, and clinicians at all levels of experience.
