Aquí se presentan en 38 capítulos las recomendaciones de las acciones "que no hay que hacer" o hay que "elegir sabiamente" en medicina interna, elaboradas por profesionales del Foro Internacional de Medicina Interna pertenecientes a América y a la Península Ibérica, y colaboradores. Si bien los clínicos y los internistas se caracterizan por ser integradores y tener una visión holística de la persona, por cuestiones didácticas se presentan las recomendaciones, en algunos casos por aparatos y sistemas (cardiología, neumonología, etc.), en otros casos como situaciones prevalentes (hipertensión, dislipidemia, reanimación ante paro cardiorrespiratorio, etc.); también se presentan po...
Este tercer tomo aborda las situaciones especiales, y es otra de las secciones que da un plus a este libro. Estamos acostumbrados a la medicina interna como "la medicina del adulto" (el varón), pero en nuestras salas de internación también ingresan adultos mayores, mujeres y adolescentes; esos 3 grupos tienen sus particularidades diferenciales, en especial los adolescentes y las mujeres, que son los mismos revisados en esta sección.
Los textos colectivos con muchos autores ostentan su propia identidad. Por un lado, la heterogeneidad —que puede ser una virtud en la medida en que se exponen visiones distintas—, por otro, la dificultad para coordinar los esfuerzos, la necesidad de asediar a los autores, de sustituir oportunamente a quienes se atrasan, distribuir equitativamente los créditos y confiar en la idoneidad de los elegidos. Hasta se han roto amistades cuando los compiladores acosan a los colaboradores. Esta complejidad se potencia cuando se trata de una propuesta internacional como esta; por más que las tecnologías vigentes para la comunicación han remediado muchos obstáculos, la distancia no ha desaparecido del todo. Además de la separación geográfica, hay disparidades en visiones, recursos, enfoques, caminos, aunque todo ello enriquece el contenido. Los comentarios anteriores intentan ponderar el valor de una obra plural como la que se ofrece, sus dificultades de ejecución, su variedad de perspectivas y al mismo tiempo la universalidad de sus conceptos.

This book endeavours to pinpoint the relations between musical, and especially instrumental, practice and the evolving conceptions of pitch systems. It traces the development of ancient melodic notation from reconstructed origins, through various adaptations necessitated by changing musical styles and newly invented instruments, to its final canonical form. It thus emerges how closely ancient harmonic theory depended on the culturally dominant instruments, the lyre and the aulos. These threads are followed down to late antiquity, when details recorded by Ptolemy permit an exceptionally clear view. Dr Hagel discusses the textual and pictorial evidence, introducing mathematical approaches wherever feasible, but also contributes to the interpretation of instruments in the archaeological record and occasionally is able to outline the general features of instruments not directly attested. The book will be indispensable to all those interested in Greek music, technology and performance culture and the general history of musicology.
Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, The Book of Disquiet was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with previously missing texts, presented for the first time in order of composition and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript. A mosaic of dreams and a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon, The Book of Disquiet is an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers.
Introducing readers to the study of law, media and popular culture, this text, using three original case studies, re-examines the assumptions underpinning existing research and suggests alternatives. Arguing that the study of law, media and popular culture should be embedded in the sociology of everyday life, the author focuses on four specific topics, in which there is scope for further development. These are the facts that: the current literature in this field predominantly focuses on crime, neglecting the way the media portrays less spectacular, more run-of-the-mill legal topics fiction, primarily, has captured scholars' attention, with remarkably less being paid to representations of law...
This third edition of Understanding Human Rights has been elaborated by the European Training and Research Center for Human Rights and Democracy (ETC) in Graz, originally for the Human Security Network (HSN) at the initiative of the Austrian Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The objective is to assist human rights education efforts worldwide. The book's thematic modules on selected human rights issues cover topics such as: the prohibition of torture, freedom from poverty, human rights of women and children, human rights in armed conflict, freedom of expression, and democracy. New to this updated edition are chapters reflecting current trends in human rights, including new modules on privacy (such as challenges posed by Internet use), minority rights, and the right to asylum. Translations of the earlier editions already exist in 15 languages, among them all the official United Nations languages. Understanding Human Rights has become a basic text for human rights education and training in different countries, on different levels, and for different audiences, from university lectures in China to NGO training in Mali to police training in Kosovo.
