Toda innovación técnico-metodológica en la moderna gestión de recursos humanos ha sufrido en sus inicios el etiquetado de moda. Mientras que algunas de esas modas han caído en el olvido y otras a duras penas han conseguido instaurarse en las prácticas de gestión de un reducido número de compañías, otras, al fin, se han integrado en el quehacer diario de los profesionales y han entrado a formar parte de nuestra práctica habitual. Este último caso es la proyección esperada para las aproximaciones data driven en las que las decisiones se toman informadas por la evidencia que proporcionan los datos. Impulsadas por el avance en las técnicas de análisis de datos, el big data, y la p...
It’s aliiiive! Bring characters to life for Halloween, movie making, and live shows with the mechanical wonders of animatronics! In this issue of Make: follow along as FX designer Jesse Velez builds a custom haunted deer animatronic based on the Evil Dead series. Next, we show you how to make a set of 3D-printed ghosts dance to music using Bottango’s free animatronic software. Then add some personality to your next creature build with a pair of simple, lifelike mechatronic eyes, and take it a step further with a mechanism to simulate realistic breathing patterns. Plus, 33+ projects: Use projection mapping to make any building a screen for multimedia shows, at Halloween or anytime Build a sunlight sensing plant rotator so your leafy friends always get the best light Learn to make perfectly aligned vector images from skewed photographs Explore hidden frequencies with an EMF audio amplifier Make a traditional tortilla press for the freshest tacos Hack a monster toy with a simple LED circuit for a whimsical desktop status light Solve 3D design problems using ChatGPT And much more!
Este libro de Actas representa las memorias del evento intensivo, desarrollado entre el 7 y el 18 de octubre de 2013, del Congreso Virtual Mundial de e-Learning, una comunidad de práctica y aprendizaje gratuita, abierta y colaborativa, que sigue marcando una tendencia a nivel mundial y es un referente diario para todos aquellos profesionales y educandos ligados e interesados en y a la Educación a distancia. A lo largo de las 50 sesiones sincrónicas (una disertación de apertura, otra de cierre, cinco exposiciones magistrales, cuatro e-foros colaborativos y 39 videoconferencias regulares), más de 45 expositores y de 50 coautores, que representaron a similar número de instituciones educativas o relacionadas a la educación, se aportaron ideas y experiencias referidas a la educación a distancia y mediada por tecnología.
A range of perspectives on the complex political, philosophical, and pragmatic implications of opening research and scholarship through digital technologies. The Open Access Movement proposes to remove price and permission barriers for accessing peer-reviewed research work--to use the power of the internet to duplicate material at an infinitesimal cost-per-copy. In this volume, contributors show that open access does not exist in a technological vacuum; there are complex political, philosophical, and pragmatic implications for opening research through digital technologies. The contributors examine open access across spans of colonial legacies, knowledge frameworks, publics and politics, archives and digital preservation, infrastructures and platforms, and global communities.
This new book focuses on new research on cognitive science which is most simply defined as the scientific study either of mind or of intelligence. It is an interdisciplinary study drawing from relevant fields including psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology, computer science, biology, and physics. There are several approaches to the study of cognitive science. These approaches may be classified broadly as symbolic, connectionist, and dynamic systems. Symbolic -- holds that cognition can be explained using operations on symbols, by means of explicit computational theories and models of mental (but not brain) processes analogous to the workings of a digital computer. Connectionist (subsymbolic) -- holds that cognition can only be modelled and explained by using artificial neural networks on the level of physical brain properties. Hybrid systems -- holds that cognition is best modelled using both connectionist and symbolic models, and possibly other computational techniques.
Even before the Helsinki Corpus was published, Spain had a good amount of Historical English researchers, such as the group directed by Teresa Fanego in Santiago de Compostela. In the last couple of decades, the number of scholars working in the field of Historical Corpus Linguistics has increased, and, nowadays, there are some interesting projects in Spain that will result in the publication of valuable material for scholars throughout the world. The aim of this volume is twofold. On the on...
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.
Not easily translated, the Spanish terms cursi and cursilería refer to a cultural phenomenon widely prevalent in Spanish society since the nineteenth century. Like "kitsch," cursi evokes the idea of bad taste, but it also suggests one who has pretensions of refinement and elegance without possessing them. In The Culture of Cursilería, Noël Valis examines the social meanings of cursi, viewing it as a window into modern Spanish history and particularly into the development of middle-class culture. Valis finds evidence in literature, cultural objects, and popular customs to argue that cursilería has its roots in a sense of cultural inadequacy felt by the lower middle classes in nineteenth- ...
This biographical encyclopedia will provide the first comprehensive reference work on leading scholars and professionals who have contributed to the development and institutionalization of psychology in Latin America. The figures biographed will include scholars who have made a significant theoretical contribution to the discipline, as well as, practitioners and those who have contributed to the institutionalization of psychology, through their work in scientific organisations, professional bodies and publications. All persons included are recognized authorities and either natives of, or long-term residents in the region. It will offer an invaluable reference point, in particular for scholars of the history of psychology, Latin American studies, the history of science, and global psychology; as well as for historians, psychologists and social scientists seeking international perspectives on the development of the discipline.
