Las literaturas regionales se reconocen a sí mismas en un intercambio acotado por su tiempo y espacios propios. En el caso del Estado de Guanajuato, se origina en fechas recientes un movimiento de tertulias literarias que, de modo itinerante, ha recorrido prácticamente todo el mundo. Con ese dinamismo se ha podido integrar una nómina amplia de escritores que no sólo engrosan la propia tertulia, sino que dan testimonio de la vitalidad del orbe de las letras en este sector del mundo. Benjamín Valdivia La Antología de Escritores Guanajuatenses es un proyecto de gran importancia para la Red Estatal de Tertulias Literarias de Guanajuato, ya que no sólo contiene la participación de los integrantes y simpatizantes de la Red, provenientes de treinta municipios de la entidad, sino que su impresión, permitirá que sea una obra que permanezca como una huella en la historia, una evidencia perenne y a la vez tangible del quehacer literario en este momento.

"En todos mis futuros, el feminismo será parte importante de mi misión y mi manera de ver el mundo. Así que lo digo con toda claridad: soy feminista, y con ello logré reconciliarme conmigo misma, sentirme cómoda en mi propia piel, más conectada con mi ser femenino y más hermanada con otras mujeres, más libre, independiente y feliz". Como es bien sabido, el feminismo no es un tema acabado; por el contrario, los distintos puntos de vista que existen en torno a este tema, de dónde surgieron esos feminismos para entender dónde estamos paradas, sus protagonistas, la visión patriarcal y los posibles caminos para abrir brechas diferentes, así como comprender qué es lo que ya no podemos aceptar como sociedad, es lo que plantea Ana Vásquez Colmenares como una guía para construir un mundo basado en la igualdad. De esta forma, principiantes en el tema, conocedor@s e interesad@s encontrarán, con un lenguaje accesible y personal, el universo que estos feminismos plantean para elegir y vivir de acuerdo con el que más nos acomode. Porque como dice Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: " Todos deberíamos ser feministas".
This updated second edition of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Imaging and Intervention provides a comprehensive account of the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The basic format of the first edition has been retained, with sections on fundamentals such as pathophysiology and causes, imaging techniques and interventions. However, each chapter has been revised to reflect the important recent progress in advanced neuroimaging and the use of interventional tools. In addition, a new chapter is included on the classification instruments for ischemic stroke and their use in predicting outcomes and therapeutic triage. All of the authors are internationally recognized experts and members of the interdisciplinary stroke team at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The text is supported by numerous informative illustrations, and ease of reference is ensured through the inclusion of suitable tables. This book will serve as a unique source of up-to-date information for neurologists, emergency physicians, radiologists and other health care providers who care for the patient with acute ischemic stroke.
Illustrates how the children of immigrants use art to grapple with issues of citizenship, state violence, and belonging Young immigrant children often do not have the words to express how their lives are shaped by issues of immigration, legal status, and state-sanctioned violence. Yet they are able to communicate its effects on them using art. Based on ten years of work with immigrant children as young as six years old in Arizona and California— and featuring an analysis of three hundred drawings, theater performances, and family interviews—Silvia Rodriguez Vega provides accounts of children’s challenges with deportation and family separation during the Obama and Trump administrations....
Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms.

This book reports on fundamental research, cutting-edge technologies and industrially-relevant applications in biomedical engineering. It covers methods for analysis, modeling and simulation of biological systems, reporting on the development and design of advanced biosensors, nanoparticles and wearable devices. It covers applications in disease monitoring and therapy, tissue engineering, sport and rehabilitation, and telehealth. It also reports on engineering methods for improving and monitoring medical service, and on advanced robotic applications. Gathering the proceedings of the XLV Congreso Nacional de Ingeniería Biomédica (CNIB2022), organised by the Mexican Society of Biomedical Engineering, this book offers a timely snapshot on technologies and methods in bioengineering, and on challenges related to their practical implementation in the health sector.
Under violent military dictatorship, Operation Condor and the Dirty War scarred Argentina from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, leaving behind a legacy of repression, state terror, and political murder. Even today, the now-democratic Argentine government attempts to repair the damage of these atrocities by making human rights a policy priority. But what about the other Dirty War, during which Argentine civilians--including indigenous populations--and foreign powers ignored and even abetted the state's vicious crimes against humanity? In this groundbreaking new work, David Sheinin draws on previously classified Argentine government documents, human rights lawsuits, and archived propaganda to illustrate the military-constructed fantasy of bloodshed as a public defense of human rights. Exploring the reactions of civilians and the international community to the daily carnage, Sheinin unearths how compliance with the dictatorship perpetuated the violence that defined a nation. This new approach to the history of human rights in Argentina will change how we understand dictatorship, democracy, and state terror.
