Violence, Politics and Religion
This book offers a general theory of violent radicalization and uses case studies from a variety of different countries and groups to illustrate this. The first and fundamental objective of the book is to provide an explanatory framework to understand phenomena related to violent radicalization, deradicalization, the prevention of radicalization and to political violence; in particular, that inspired by religion. The second objective follows from the first. Understanding violent radicalization of religious inspiration implies delving into two key concepts: violent radicalization and religion. This second objective is indeed elusive, since, on the one hand, many liberal democracies have under...
Mobilization for Violent Politicized Islam
This book focuses on the involvement of some Kenyans in al-Shabaab, an affiliate of Al-Qaeda based in Somalia, despite their country’s relative stability compared to Somalia. It discusses the origin of the Kenyan state and how colonization created social stratification that benefited elites closer to the center, while excluding marginalized groups at the periphery. The argument is that this pattern still prevails, despite attempts to enhance equality, such as the adoption of a new constitution in 2010 promoting the devolution of power and resources. The persistence of this condition, it is argued, is what initially handed al-Qaeda and later al-Shabaab opportunities for mobilization, enable...
Advances in Artificial Intelligence
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2020, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, amalgamated with CAEPIA 2021, and held in Malaga, Spain, during September 2021. The 25 full papers presented were carefully selected from 40 submissions. The Conference of the Spanish Association of Artificial Intelligence (CAEPIA) is a biennial forum open to researchers from all over the world to present and discuss their latest scientific and technological advances in Antificial Intelligence (AI). The book is subdivided into the following topical headings: machine learning, optimization and search, and real-world applications. It covers such themes as ambient intelligence and smart environments; computer vision and robotics; constraints, search and planning; creativity and A.I.; education and A.I.; explainable and responsible A.I.; foundation, models and applications of A.I, and others.
New Contributions in Information Systems and Technologies
This book contains a selection of articles from The 2015 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (WorldCIST'15), held between the 1st and 3rd of April in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss recent results and innovations, current trends, professional experiences and challenges of modern Information Systems and Technologies research, technological development and applications. The main topics covered are: Information and Knowledge Management; Organizational Models and Information Systems; Intelligent and Decision Support Systems; Big Data Analytics and Applications; Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools; Multimedia Systems and Applications; Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems; Human-Computer Interaction; Health Informatics; Information Technologies in Education; Information Technologies in Radio communications.
Advances in Practical Applications of Agents and Multiagent Systems
PAAMS, the International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems is an international yearly stage to present, to discuss, and to disseminate the latest advances and the most important outcomes related to real-world applications. It provides a unique opportunity to bring multi-disciplinary experts, academics and practitioners together to exchange their experience in the development of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. This volume presents the papers that have been accepted for the 2010 edition. These articles capture the most innovative results and this year’s advances. Each paper has been reviewed by three different reviewers, from an international com-mittee composed of 82 members from 26 different countries. From the 66 submissions received, 19 were selected for full presentation at the conference, and 14 were accepted as short papers. Moreover, PAAMS'10 incorporated special ses-sions and workshops to complement the regular program, which included 85 ac-cepted papers.
Desafíos del sistema de seguridad colectiva
Esta obra pretende analizar la efectividad del sistema de seguridad co-lectiva de la ONU ante ciertas amenazas globales, tales como el terrorismo internacional, la violencia política dentro de los territorios nacionales o las guerras entre Estados. Sin embargo, el propósito de este ejercicio es más amplio y está conectado con varias preguntas: ¿cómo se puede gobernar un mundo donde casi todos los procesos sociales —la economía, la tecnología, los conflictos o la cultura— se han globalizado pero donde la política no ha seguido el mismo ritmo?, ¿qué problemas supone en términos de paz y seguridad la articulación de las relaciones internacionales alrededor de los principios de ...
Distributed Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Soft Computing, and Ambient Assisted Living
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, IWANN 2009, held in Salamanca, Spain in June 2009. The 167 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from over 230 submissions. The papers are organized in thematic sections on theoretical foundations and models; learning and adaptation; self-organizing networks, methods and applications; fuzzy systems; evolutionary computation and genetic algoritms; pattern recognition; formal languages in linguistics; agents and multi-agent on intelligent systems; brain-computer interfaces (bci); multiobjetive optimization; robotics; bioinformatics; biomedical applications; ambient assisted living (aal) and ambient intelligence (ai); other applications.

Violencia, política y religión
“El nuevo libro de Sergio García-Magariño es amplio, importante y original. Es amplio porque, aunque se centra en España, aborda casos de radicalización violenta de inspiración religiosa de todo el mundo. Es importante porque, a diferencia de muchos estudios occidentales sobre movimientos yihadistas, explora las bases religiosas del fenómeno con seriedad. Y es original porque, de nuevo, a diferencia de muchos otros estudios reduccionistas, el autor examina los factores micro, meso y macro que contribuyen al fenómeno en cuestión. Es una obra indispensable tanto para quienes están preocupados por la radicalización violenta en España como para los lectores que tienen un interés teórico general en el fenómeno de la radicalización violenta de inspiración religiosa” (Sidney Tarrow). Sergio García-Magariño es doctor en Sociología, profesor-investigador de la Universidad Pública de Navarra y de su Instituto de Investigación Social Avanzada y cofundador del Instituto para el Conocimiento, la Gobernanza y el Desarrollo globales (ICGD).
Haciendo realidad el derecho a la alimentación en España
Este libro se publica en un momento en el que, por tercer año consecutivo aumenta el número personas que sufren Inseguridad Alimentaria en el mundo, llegando a 821 millones de personas con hambre, cuando la obesidad afecta a 672 millones y otras problemáticas vinculadas a la mala alimentación, como la anemia en mujeres en edad reproductiva, están creciendo a lo largo y ancho del planeta. España no es ajena a estos retos tanto en su vertiente de política exterior y cooperación al desarrollo como en el abordaje nacional de los mismos. La inseguridad alimentaria, emergió con la crisis en determinados espacios, la obesidad supera la cuarta parte de la población adulta española y es patente la necesidad de transitar hacia sistemas alimentarios más sostenibles con un menor impacto ambiental, que permitan conservar la capacidad productiva de los recursos naturales, garantizar la adecuada alimentación de futuras generaciones y un medio rural vivo.
