Volver a estudiar
No hay dudas de que los mundos educativos y laborales constituyen dos espacios ampliamente debatidos cuando se hace referencia a la problemática de la desigualdad social. Ahora bien, ¿cómo se construyen experiencias en estos espacios?, ¿cómo se articulan estas temporalidades en las biografías de los sujetos?, ¿cómo se vinculan las clases populares con distintos niveles del Estado? Volver a estudiar aborda las experiencias de terminalidad educativa de jóvenes y adultos en el Plan de Finalización de los Estudios Secundarios (FinEs2), prestando especial atención a las formas en que se articulan las dimensiones educativas, laborales y políticas. Se inserta, de esta manera, en discusi...
Symmetry in Renewable Energy and Power Systems
This book includes original research papers related to renewable energy and power systems in which theoretical or practical issues of symmetry are considered. The book includes contributions on voltage stability analysis in DC networks, optimal dispatch of islanded microgrid systems, reactive power compensation, direct power compensation, optimal location and sizing of photovoltaic sources in DC networks, layout of parabolic trough solar collectors, topologic analysis of high-voltage transmission grids, geometric algebra and power systems, filter design for harmonic current compensation. The contributions included in this book describe the state of the art in this field and shed light on the possibilities that the study of symmetry has in power grids and renewable energy systems.
Global Bioethics: What for?
Through the experiences of each of the authors, specialists from all over the world, men and women who have contributed to the Bioethics Programme of UNESCO, here are thirty articles of four pages each providing us with many accessible definitions of bioethics and its use. This book is just one of the ways in which the Programme is celebrating its twenty years of existence. The reader will find thought-provoking ideas with regard to philosophical concepts and attributes of bioethics, its normative interest and fields of application, and the challenges it faces. Authors such as Daniel Callahan, Michále Stanton-Jean, Federico Mayor, Juliana Gonzâlez, Michael Kirby, Mary Rawlinson, Henk ten Have or Vasil Gluchman talk of UNESCO's Programme's history and the benefits it provides and they debate which is the best framework for its future in terms of values, procedures, principles and policies. It is through bioethical discernment, with its complexity, cultural diversity, social differentiation and economic inequality that answers can be found, with our feet planted in local history but our sights set on the holistic horizon.

Social Capital II
Low levels of social interaction across class lines have generated widespread concern and are associated with worse outcomes, such as lower rates of upward income mobility. Here, we analyze the determinants of cross-class interaction using data from Facebook, building upon the analysis in the first paper in this series. We show that about half of the social disconnection across socioeconomic lines--measured as the difference in the share of high-socioeconomic status (SES) friends between low- and high-SES people--is explained by differences in exposure to high- SES people in groups such as schools and religious organizations. The other half is explained by friending bias--the tendency for lo...
Hyperborder
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.
