Teaching and Learning in a Digital World
This book gathers the Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL2017), held in Budapest, Hungary on 27–29 September 2017. The authors are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education. The impact of globalisation on all areas of human life, the exponential acceleration of technological developments and global markets, and the need for flexibility and agility are essential and challenging elements of this process that have to be tackled in general, but especially in engineering education. To face these current real-world challenges, higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to them. Since its inception in 1998, this conference has been devoted to new approaches in learning with a focus on collaborative learning. Today the ICL conferences offer a forum for exchange concerning relevant trends and research results, and for sharing practical experience gained while developing and testing elements of new technologies and pedagogies in the learning context.
Atlas of Bedforms in the Western Mediterranean
This atlas illustrates the characteristics of present-day bedforms, from the shoreline to deep-sea environments, and it also includes short reviews of the main mechanisms that generate such bedforms. The atlas is aimed at the research community, in addition to students, the public at large and companies with interests in the marine environment. The book is divided into seven sections composed of a number of short chapters: 1) bedform analysis and the main physical processes, 2) bedforms in the coastal zone, 3) bedforms on prodeltas and sorted bedforms, 4) bedforms on the continental shelf, 5) bedforms and benthos, 6) bedforms in submarine canyons and 7) slope and deep-sea bedforms. This atlas offers a comprehensive, though not exhaustive, view of the diversity of bedforms and associated processes and of the morphological and temporal scales in the enclosed tideless western Mediterranean Sea.
Thinking Globally and Responding Locally in the Church
How has Pope Francis’s groundbreaking document on marriage and family, Amoris Laetitia, been implemented in Africa? In Asia? In Latin America? In this volume, scholars from across these regions reflect on their experiences, correcting the overly western focus of most reactions to AL. The contributions look at local issues like polygamy in Africa, as well as more global issues in a local context, like feminism in Indonesia and synodality in Colombia. The reader will find that concerns about marriage and family can be similar throughout the world or specific to different contexts. As a whole, the book contributes to a more diverse and revisited catholic understanding of marriage and family.
Coastal Engineering 2008 (In 5 Volumes) - Proceedings Of The 31st International Conference
This proceedings contains papers presented at the 31st International Conference on Coastal Engineering, which has held in Hamburg, Germany (31 August - 5 September 2008). The proceeding is divided into five parts: Waves; Long Waves, Nearshore Currents, and Swash; Sediment Transport and Morphology; Coastal Management, Environment, and Risk; and Coastal Structures. The papers cover a broad range of topics including theory, numerical and physical modeling, field measurements, case studies, design, and management. Coastal Engineering 2008 provides coastal engineers, scientists, and planners, with state-of-the-art information on coastal engineering and coastal processes.
Infection Management in Hematology
This book provides a thorough update on the management of infections in patients with hematologic malignancies, focusing particularly on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Detailed attention is devoted to the central roles that vaccination and anti-infective prophylaxis have gained in improving overall survival in this patient group, in accordance with the principle that prevention is better than cure. Careful consideration is also paid to risk stratification, which is crucial in ensuring that anti-infective prophylaxis is targeted to those at the highest risk. While preventive strategies reduce the prevalence of infections, optimized management strategies are vital to decrease infection-related morbidity and mortality in those who nevertheless develop infections. Here, readers will find in-depth, up-to-date knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections, according to the affected organ and the causative pathogen. Finally, treatment in intensive care units is reviewed. The book will be of high value for hematologists, oncologists, and infection specialists.

Mujeres migrantes
La errancia femenina en la época contemporánea constituye el tema central de este volumen que se acerca a las corrientes migratorias desde la perspectiva del género y la sexualidad. Los distintos capítulos recogen las reflexiones de un grupo interdisciplinar de especialistas sobre desplazamientos migratorios —nacionales e internacionales— y aborda las construcciones identitarias, representaciones e imaginarios de las migrantes en la opinión pública y en los discursos socioculturales. 80 años después del éxodo republicano, y en un contexto internacional complejo, con millones de seres humanos obligados a salir de sus países de origen huyendo de conflictos bélicos, estas cuestiones tienen una vigencia absoluta. La obra aborda las migraciones de mujeres y la búsqueda de la identidad desde la perspectiva del género, la etnicidad y la sexualidad. Libro dirigido al público universitario en general y especialmente al especializado en los estudios feministas y de género, así como personas interesadas en el fenómeno de los desplazamientos de población y de las migraciones femeninas desde cualquier punto de vista.
Calidad de vida en personas adultas y mayores
En nuestra sociedad, el envejecimiento de la población y la búsqueda por la mejora de la calidad de vida de las personas adultas y mayores es una realidad incuestionable. En esta obra colectiva se abordan, desde la acción socioeducativa y de forma global y especializada, diferentes temáticas de relieve que pretenden garantizar el bienestar de las personas adultas y mayores, así como el logro de una vida plena. El libro se dirige a estudiantes y profesionales del ámbito de educación social, psicología, terapia ocupacional, trabajo social y a todas aquellas personas inquietas e interesadas ante los desafíos que ocurren en esta etapa del ciclo vital. A su vez, la obra es resultado de la participación de varios autores, todos ellos docentes e investigadores procedentes de diferentes universidades que a lo largo de cinco capítulos afrontan aspectos cruciales vinculados al aprendizaje de las personas adultas en la sociedad del conocimiento, la intervención y el desarrollo integral en personas adultas y mayores, la calidad de vida en personas mayores, el envejecimiento activo y saludable y cómo intervenir en personas mayores.
