Multimodal Affective Computing
This book explores AI methodologies for the implementation of affective states in intelligent learning environments. Divided into four parts, Multimodal Affective Computing: Technologies and Applications in Learning Environments begins with an overview of Affective Computing and Intelligent Learning Environments, from their fundamentals and essential theoretical support up to their fusion and some successful practical applications. The basic concepts of Affective Computing, Machine Learning, and Pattern Recognition in Affective Computing, and Affective Learning Environments are presented in a comprehensive and easy-to-read manner. In the second part, a review on the emerging field of Sentime...
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.
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.
Bio-based Wood Adhesives
Adhesive bonding plays an increasing role in the forest product industry and is a key factor for efficiently utilizing timber and other lignocellulosic resources. As synthetic wood adhesives are mostly derived from depleting petrochemical resources and have caused increasing environmental concern, natural product and byproduct-derived adhesives have attracted much attention in the last decades. Although adhesives made from plant and animal sources have been in existence since ancient times, increased knowledge of their chemistry and improved technical formulation of their preparation are still needed to promote their broader industrial applications. The primary goals of this book are to (1) ...

Handbook of Research on Urban and Humanitarian Logistics
City logistics is one of the most popular fields of transportation sciences, dealing with sustainably supplying cities and at the same time reducing congestion and pollution related to goods transport in urban areas. Recently, humanitarian, emergency, and crises logistics has been a subject of increasing interest, often seen from an international viewpoint. However, some of the recent natural crises have shown the importance of resilience and reliability of the current urban logistics systems. The Handbook of Research on Urban and Humanitarian Logistics is a critical scholarly publication that addresses urban logistics and resilience, sustainable urban logistics, humanitarian logistics in urban areas both for crisis or long-term, and planning for resilient urban development. Featuring a broad range of topics that discuss the new and future trends in urban logistics and resilient cities, this publication is ideal for public planners; urban planners; company managers in logistics and transport; consulting agencies; regional, national, and international institutions and organizations; researchers; academicians; and students.
Country reports on human rights practices
The idea of human rights begins with a fundamental commitment to the dignity that is the birthright of every man, woman and child. Progress in advancing human rights begins with the facts. And for the last 34 years, the United States has produced the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, providing the most comprehensive record available of the condition of human rights around the world. These reports are an essential tool—for activists who courageously struggle to protect rights in communities around the world; for journalists and scholars who document rights violations and who report on the work of those who champion the vulnerable; and for governments, including our own, as they work to craft strategies to encourage protection of the human rights of more individuals in more places. Joint Committee Print. S. Prt. 112-40.
