Design of a Soft Robotic Pneumatic Actuator for Elbow Physical Therapy
We present an innovative and novel device for home assistance elbow physiotherapy. As our end user has rigidity in superior limbs, our device care about miming the natural flexion-extension movement of the elbow, in order to provide an automatized therapy. Post-stroke patients often suffer from lack in muscle movement due to deoxygenation of the inferior neurons resulting in hemiplegia or hemiparesis. Our goal was to provide a device that can ease the implementation of home therapy, so patients can easily increase their therapy hours.We focus in elbow disability as it is one of the most common disability after an CVA, and because is the upper joint that most restricts daily activities. Answe...
Developing Cultural Industries
Exploring the connection between culture and broader goals of human development, this research focuses on cultural and creative industries in what is commonly referred to as 'developing countries'. Christiaan De Beukelaer offers a thorough exploration of how the concepts of cultural and creative industries are constructed and implemented across African countries and evaluates various policy implications of his findings. Combining an empirical study of the cultural industries of Africa with an understanding towards broader insights regarding global implications of the European debate surrounding creative industries, De Beukelaer's work will greatly benefit our thinking on cultural policy.
Tecnologías disruptivas del proceso de globalización
El fenómeno global y globalizante de las innovaciones disruptivas suele estudiarse desde una óptica meramente técnica. Pero las innovaciones disruptivas son también un fenómeno cultural que reclama una mirada desde la óptica de las humanidades. Aunque el fenómeno `disruptivo' no apareció de repente a finales del siglo pasado, se impone inicialmente un escrutinio detallado del pensamiento económico que encapsuló, a modo de credo, el fenómeno disruptivo como una realidad sui generis del más reciente proceso globalizador. Tal análisis aporta la singular paradoja de que el fenómeno disruptivo carecería de un marco teórico válido que permita no solo explicar, sino anticipar su di...

It covers both natural and managed forests, from boreal, temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. In this second edition, the breadt...
The Spanish Craze
The Spanish Craze is the compelling story of the centuries-long U.S. fascination with the history, literature, art, culture, and architecture of Spain. Richard L. Kagan offers a stunningly revisionist understanding of the origins of hispanidad in America, tracing its origins from the early republic to the New Deal. As Spanish power and influence waned in the Atlantic World by the eighteenth century, her rivals created the “Black Legend,” which promoted an image of Spain as a dead and lost civilization rife with innate cruelty and cultural and religious backwardness. The Black Legend and its ambivalences influenced Americans throughout the nineteenth century, reaching a high pitch in the ...
