La discriminación es un problema estructural. Prejuicios, estereotipos y estigmas son prácticas que vulneran la dignidad humana y, en pleno siglo XXI, por sorprendente que parezca, impiden el pleno goce de ciertos derechos como el trabajo, la seguridad social, la educación y la impartición de justicia. Sentencias relevantes en materia de igualdad y no discriminación, es un libro que analiza la compleja situación nacional en materia de exclusión. Muestra, también, algunos criterios jurisprudenciales que han contribuido en la construcción de un Estado comprometido con la igualdad sustantiva. La discriminación es una realidad y debemos visibilizar el fenómeno, así como reconocer el trabajo que han emprendido los gobiernos —federal y locales— y diversas instituciones para afrontarlo. La lucha contra la discriminación demuestra que, a través de las diversas herramientas del derecho, es posible mejorar la vida de las personas y construir una sociedad más incluyente e igualitaria.

This book provides an overview of the latest experimental work on sex-based differences in lung function and inflammation. Readers will learn how these differences relate to individual predispositions for the development of lung disease in men and women, and in different stages of their reproductive lives. Further, the book focuses on diseases that predominantly affect women or men, with an emphasis on the physiological mechanisms underlying their pathobiology. In turn, these findings are complemented by chapters on recent studies, which investigate how circulating sex hormone levels impact the lung’s innate immune response to environmental agents and air pollution. The pathogeneses of asthma and viral respiratory infection are also major focus areas. As an outlook, the book also discusses current and future research directions aimed at developing sex-specific therapies for lung disease. To examine these anatomical and physiological differences in the male and female respiratory systems, the authors employ a broad range of methods from molecular and clinical biology. Accordingly, the book will be a fascinating read for physiologists and clinicians alike.
Presents the state-of-the-art of model-based integration of ecology and economics in the field of biodiversity conservation.
On February 13, 1970, Black Sabbath released its first album and changed the face of music forever. The band seemed to come out of nowhere, with a dark, otherworldly sound dominated by the soul-piercing wail of twenty-two-year-old John "Ozzy" Osbourne. Once its brooding, overpowering music was out, millions of listeners couldn't get enough, an record and in concert. It was the birth of heavy metal. In Black Sabbath: An Oral History, Mike Stark leads you into the studio and on tour with the quintessential British metal band, a primary influence right up to the present day on hundreds of rock groups, from Metallica to Spinal Tap. Here are firsthand accounts from Black Sabbath's four founding members -- Bill Ward, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy Osbourne -- and from other members through the years, including Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Eric Singer, Tony Martin, Cozy Powell, and Neil Murray. In their own words, they tell you what it's like to turn up the amps, hit the stage, and power-chord an audience into submission -- and create a brand -- new kind of rock in the process.
Universities are becoming more entrepreneurial, and for local communities and companies, this has increased their economic standings tenfold. However, the competitiveness of developing economies thanks to these financially focused institutions has likewise increased. Examining the Role of Entrepreneurial Universities in Regional Development provides emerging research exploring how universities foster and support entrepreneurship and the development of a more entrepreneurial organization and highlights the importance of this process for local communities and companies. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as institutional entrepreneurship, public management, and economic contribution, this book is ideally designed for university presidents, provosts, rectors, chancellors, board members, managers, business professionals, policymakers, academicians, students, and researchers.
