Dust and Dignity
What makes domestic work a bad job, even after efforts to formalize and improve working conditions? Erynn Masi de Casanova's case study, based partly on collaborative research conducted with Ecuador's pioneer domestic workers' organization, examines three reasons for persistent exploitation. First, the tasks of social reproduction are devalued. Second, informal work arrangements escape regulation. And third, unequal class relations are built into this type of employment. Accessible to advocates and policymakers as well as academics, this book provides both theoretical discussions about domestic work and concrete ideas for improving women's lives. Drawing on workers' stories of lucha, trabajo...
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery
This new multithematic book in the series Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery offers an update on several basic and clinical problems in neurosurgery. The main topics are cerebral tumors, epilepsy and vascular malformations. The first chapter will deal with the burden of childhood cancer across the globe, a particular relevant problem in times where economic restrictions and the increased difficulties to access cure are the direct impact of the Covid19 pandemic. A very detailed chapter will provide new guidelines for neuroimaging investigations for intracerebral pathological conditions of surgical interest in the pediatric population. The technical aspects and technological adva...
The Fungal Cell Wall

Reflexiones críticas sobre la teoría de la salud pública
Pensar la salud, hasta la fecha, es una tarea que jamás se ha emprendido en Occidente, pues la preocupación fue siempre negativa: el rechazo de la enfermedad, la superación de la pobreza y otras expresiones semejantes. Es posible decirlo en términos fuertes y directos: el llamado a la salud coincide con un auténtico giro civilizatorio. Occidente siempre supo solamente de la enfermedad y cómo vencerla; hoy asistimos a los albores de una nueva civilización que se enfoca en aspectos nunca antes considerados. Se trata del desplazamiento de la tradicional y dominante concepción antropológica, antropocéntrica y antropomórfica de la realidad y la naturaleza por una visión más orgánica, horizontal y no jerárquica, en la que la naturaleza y la vida en general se convierten en la fuente de todo valor y sentido, en la finalidad de cualquier consideración ética, axiológica o estética.
Modelling and Control of Switched Reluctance Machines
Today, switched reluctance machines (SRMs) play an increasingly important role in various sectors due to advantages such as robustness, simplicity of construction, low cost, insensitivity to high temperatures, and high fault tolerance. They are frequently used in fields such as aeronautics, electric and hybrid vehicles, and wind power generation. This book is a comprehensive resource on the design, modeling, and control of SRMs with methods that demonstrate their good performance as motors and generators.
Pathology
Pathology: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants bridges the disciplinary knowledge gap to help advance medical sciences and provide preventative and treatment strategies for pathologists, health care workers, food scientists and nutritionists who have divergent skills. This is important as oxidative stress can be ameliorated with pharmacological, nutraceutical or natural agents. While pathologists and clinical workers understand the processes in disease, they are less conversant in the science of nutrition and dietetics. Conversely, nutritionists and dietitians are less conversant with the detailed clinical background and science of pathology. This book helps to fill those gaps. Saves clinicians and researchers time by helping them to quickly access the very latest details on a broad range of pathologies and oxidation issues Combines the science of oxidative stress and the putative therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet Includes preclinical, clinical and population studies to help pathologists, nutritionists, dieticians, and clinicians map out key areas for research and further clinical recommendations
Vamos navegar no imaginário do oceano samba?
"Que noite mais funda Kalunga, no porão de um navio negreiro / Que viagem mais longa Candonga ouvindo o batuque das ondas / Compasso de um coração de pássaro no fundo do cativeiro / É o samba do mundo Kalunga, batendo forte em meu peito". Com esses versos tirados de Yaya Massemba, dos compositores Roberto Mendes e Capinam, eu descrevo a viagem que o samba fez até aportar nas terras de Vera Cruz, trazido pelo escravizador e pelo escravizado. Da mistura do lamento do tambor do negro, com a melancolia do fado português e o balanço malemolente do mar surgiu o nosso samba, produto genuinamente brasileiro, que ao longo do tempo foi sendo moldado por habilidosos artífices até chegar ao fo...
Salud y no enfermedad. Transiciones hacia la complejidad
Pensar la salud es una tarea que jamás se ha emprendido en Occidente. Hasta la fecha, la preocupación fue siempre negativa, así: el rechazo de la enfermedad, la superación de la pobreza y otras expresiones semejantes. Es posible decirlo en términos fuertes y directos: el llamado a la salud coincide con un auténtico giro civilizatorio. Mientras que Occidente siempre supo solo de la enfermedad y cómo vencerla, asistimos a los albores de una nueva civilización que se enfoca en otros aspectos nunca antes considerados. Por eso, hay un modo idóneo mediante el cual es posible pensar la salud; que es equivalente a pensar en la vida. Se trata de las ciencias de la complejidad. En este libro nos proponemos pensar la salud y complejidad, o lo que es equivalente, salud como un fenómeno complejo. Ahora bien, las ciencias de la complejidad constituyen ciencia de frontera (spearhead science). Aunque han ganado espacios en diferentes latitudes, la verdad es que están lejos de ser ciencia normal. En consecuencia, se hace necesario un doble trabajo: introducir un pensamiento de salud –y vida– tanto como elaborar una propedéutica para la complejidad.
