Jugar en la primera infancia
En este libro se destaca la importancia de darle un lugar al juego de los niños, libre de ataduras didácticas y terapéuticas; y de garantizar condiciones que aseguren el derecho a jugar. Las experiencias relatadas, acompañadas de los fundamentos que sostienen la práctica, se han desarrollado en diversidad de ámbitos: no formales, formales, en contextos de pobreza. Algunas son propuestas comunitarias y barriales donde los niños pequeños juegan; en otras, se pone el acento en un trabajo articulado con las familias y distintos integrantes de la comunidad en donde se transmiten con orgullo legados y valores ancestrales. Se despliegan así variedad de dispositivos que propician la espontaneidad, la creatividad, la vinculación del juego con el arte, la construcción de ambientes estimulantes. Todos los relatos destacan la fortaleza de las instituciones y el lugar de las familias para dar cabida al juego. A ese juego por medio del cual los niños y niñas se hacen sujetos, donde ensayan lo que escuchan, lo que sienten, lo que piensan. Porque el juego es la infancia, no hay infancia sin juego.
Inequality in Good and Bad Times: A Cross-Country Approach
This paper provides evidence of a strong relationship between the short-term dynamics of growth and inequality in developing economies. We find that reductions in inequality during growth upswings are largely reversed during growth slowdowns. Using a new methodology (mediation analysis), we identify unemployment, and youth unemployment especially, as the main channel through which fluctuations in growth affect future dynamics in inequality. These findings suggest that both the quality of jobs created and labor market policies are important to ensure that growth outcomes are conducive to inequality reduction.
Medici Women
The ducal court of Cosimo I de' Medici in sixteenth-century Florence was one of absolutist, rule-bound order. Portraiture especially served the dynastic pretensions of the absolutist ruler, Duke Cosimo and his consort, Eleonora di Toledo, and was part of a Herculean programme of propaganda to establish legitimacy and prestige for the new sixteenth-century Florentine court. In this engaging and original study, Gabrielle Langdon analyses selected portraits of women by Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, Alessandro Allori, and other masters. She defines their function as works of art, as dynastic declarations, and as encoded documents of court culture and propaganda, illuminating Cosimo's conscio...
Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning, 9th International Conference, Workshops
This book is based on the 9th International Conference in Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning, which was hosted by the University of Salamanca and held in Ávila (Spain) from 26th to 28th June 2019. Expanding on the topics of the evidence-based TEL workshops series, it provides an open forum for discussing intelligent technologies for learning. In particular, it discusses recommendation mechanisms that enable us to tailor learning to different contexts and people, e.g., by considering their personality; and learning analytics that help augment learning opportunities, e.g., by supporting the adaptation of the learning material. In addition to technologies, i...
Hidden Faces: Covered Portraits of the Renaissance
Many small Renaissance portraits were richly adorned with covers or backs bearing allegorical figures, mythological scenes, or emblems that celebrated the sitter and invited the viewer to decipher their meaning. Hidden Faces includes seventy objects, ranging in format from covered paintings to miniature boxes, that illuminate the symbiotic relationship between the portrait and its pair. Texts by thirteen distinguished scholars vividly illustrate that the other “faces” of these portraits represent some of the most innovative images of the Renaissance, created by masters such as Hans Memling and Titian. Uniting works that have in some cases been separated for centuries, this fascinating volume shows how the multifaceted format unveiled the sitter’s identity, both by physically revealing the portrait and reading the significance behind its cover.
Redox and Nitrosative Signaling in Cardiovascular System: from Physiological Response to Disease
The role of ROS/RNS signaling in cardiovascular functions and diseases is increasingly emerging in the last decades. The involvement of ROS/RNS in the control of a large number of cardiovascular functions like the regulation of the vascular tone, the control of blood pressure or myocyte excitation-contraction coupling and force development has been broadly investigated and in part clarified. On the other hand, many efforts have been focused in clarifying the redox mechanisms involved in cardiovascular diseases like ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes-associated cardiovascular dysfunctions, atherosclerosis or hypertension, just to mention the major ones. However, in most cases the two level...
