In contrast to processes involving commodification, commercialisation, bureaucratisation and corporatisation, the SSE reasserts the place of ethics, social well-being and democratic decision-making in economic activities and governance. Identifying and analysing a myriad of issues and topics associated with the SSE, the Encyclopedia broadens the knowledge base of diverse actors of the SSE, including practitioners, activists and policymakers.
A estas alturas está claro que los dos grandes paradigmas que rigieron las economías occidentales del siglo XX, el keynesianismo y el neoliberalismo, ya no sirven para inspirar el nuevo siglo que hemos comenzado. Es necesario reinventar la economía y, por lo tanto, una de sus células básicas, la empresa, empantanada en una organización jerárquica del trabajo, una relación con la comunidad puramente interesada y una percepción ultracompetitiva del mundo de los negocios. Frente a esta situación, nacen por doquier brotes de una nueva forma de hacer empresa al servicio de las personas. Estos brotes pertenecen a menudo a una especie muy enraizada, que se ha mostrado particularmente resi...

Para el cambio social, no basta con la protesta; también hay que proponer alternativas y practicar nuevas formas de vida que prefiguren ya la sociedad que queremos. En ¡Participacción! Una caja de herramientas para la economía solidaria, las compañeras y los compañeros de la revista alternativa Illacrua (www.illacrua.cat) nos cuentan cómo crear formas colectivas, democráticas y sostenibles de trabajar, consumir o invertir, distintas a la empresa capitalista, el centro comercial o el banco de turno.

Illacrua es una revista mensual, especializada en tratar la actualidad social, política y cultural desde los análisis y las alternativas que aportan los llamados nuevos movimientos sociales.
Nanoparticles may be used in industrial processes, incorporated into consumer products, or applied as biomedical agents. Isotopic (radio)labeling is one of the most powerful methods for nanoparticle tracing in experimental studies. This book presents an introduction to some commonly used nanomaterials, describes various methods with which they may
This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it , takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.
This book contains papers selected for presentation at the Sixth Annual Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing. The workshop washosted by the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology. All the major research efforts in parallel languages and compilers are represented in this workshop series. The 36 papers in the volume aregrouped under nine headings: dynamic data structures, parallel languages, High Performance Fortran, loop transformation, logic and dataflow language implementations, fine grain parallelism, scalar analysis, parallelizing compilers, and analysis of parallel programs. The book represents a valuable snapshot of the state of research in the field in 1993.
