Desarrollo y extensión rural
El libro que presentamos a continuación es producto de los trabajos de investigación que los autores han realizado con comunidades rurales y de agricultura familiar campesina en Colombia. Presenta una mirada para un nuevo modelo de desarrollo rural y del sector agrario del país, en la cual establece los parámetros básicos para reconstruir el contexto rural un escenario que genere oportunidades productivas a partir del uso sostenible de la oferta ambiental, la generación de tecnología apropiada, el incremento de las capacidades de individuos, familias y la comunidad rural donde se fortalezca la idiosincrasia y el acervo cultural campesino, indígenas y afro en pro de mejores condicione...
Metodologías para la estimación de sostenibilidad agropecuaria
En el documento titulado “Metodologías para la estimación de la sostenibilidad agropecuaria”, los autores en tres capítulos presentan algunas herramientas de diagnóstico de la sustentabilidad agropecuaria, donde inicialmente se hace el abordaje conceptual de las metodologías, la descripción de su estrategia de aplicación en el contexto agropecuario y la explicación de los resultados obtenidos en diferentes trabajos de investigación. En el primer capítulo del documento se presenta la Evaluación de agroecosistemas familiares campesinos mediante indicadores de sustentabilidad, usando para ello el “Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Incorporand...
Determinación de huellas ambientales, prácticas y estrategias integradas de manejo en sistemas ganaderos de trópico alto
Más que en cualquier otra época de la historia de la humanidad, la actual generación se enfrenta a diversas coyunturas en temas sociales, económicos y ambientales, pues no ha logrado establecer sus prioridades sobre el planeta. Por un lado, trae el pesado lastre de un modelo económico netamente extractivista, energéticamente dependiente de recursos no renovables, que en su cadena de obtención, transformación y uso dejan una profunda huella ambiental en el planeta, en el mismo sentido, su modelo agroalimentario riñe con los principios básicos de sustentabilidad, pues los dominantes modelos agrícolas de revolución verde, han demostrado alta inequidad en la provisión alimentaria en...
Agroecosystem Diversity
Agro-Ecosystem Diversity: Impact on Food Security and Environmental Quality presents cutting-edge exploration of developing novel farming systems and introduces landscape ecology to agronomy. It encompasses the broad range of links between agricultural development and ecological impact and how to limit the potential negative results. Presented in seven sections, each focusing on a specific challenge to sustaining diversity, the book provides insights toward the argument that by re-introducing diversity, it should be possible to maintain a high level of productivity of agro-ecosystems while also maintaining and/or restoring a satisfactory level of environment quality and biodiversity. - Demonstrates that diversified agro-ecosystems can be intensified with environmental quality preserved, restored and enhanced - Includes analysis of economic constraints leading to specialization of farms and regions and the social locking forces resisting to diversification of agro-ecosystems - Presents a global vision of world agriculture and the tradeoff between a necessary increase in food production and restoring environment quality

Quality of Information and Communications Technology
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology, QUATIC 2020, held in Faro, Portugal*, in September 2020. The 27 full papers and 12 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections: quality aspects in machine learning, AI and data analytics; evidence-based software quality engineering; human and artificial intelligences for software evolution; process modeling, improvement and assessment; software quality education and training; quality aspects in quantum computing; safety, security and privacy; ICT verification and validation; RE, MDD and agile. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sex Determination, Differentiation and Intersexuality in Placental Mammals
How do males become male and females become female? And what are the consequences if the decision is not incisive? Drawing upon interests in animal genetics and molecular biology, the author endeavours to answer these difficult yet fascinating questions. Originally published in 1995, this book describes the genetic determination of sex and examines how sexual organs are differentiated. Using examples of intersexuality, chimaeras and asymmetries, the book describes the underlying molecular basis of sex determination and sexual differentiation, and focuses on the critical role of the rate of embryonic development in these vital processes. Male precocity is a recurrent theme, as is the involvement of Sertoli cells and their secretion of anti-Müllerian hormone. An invaluable book for reproductive physiologists, geneticists and developmental biologists whose interests may extend from animal science through veterinary medicine to human clinical medicine.
The Leatherback Turtle
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
