Cualquiera que sepa que las microempresas en Medellín, actualmente suman cerca de 95.000 -algo así como el 96% del tejido empresarial-, y que generan alrededor del 50% del empleo de la ciudad, le interesará este libro. La razón es simple: en él se ofrecen modos muy concretos, no sólo de conservarlas sino de fortalecerlas. Haga el lector el siguiente ejercicio: cierre los ojos e imagine qué le ocurriría a la ciudad y a miles de sus familias si por algún albur, todas -o la mayoría- de las microempresas desaparecieran de repente. Seguramente lo que vería, no sería agradable, entonces abra los ojos y dispóngase a leer esta obra.
This book deals with threats to the sustainability of specific Caribbean states in the face of the concerted threats posed by the illicit drug trade, the illicit gun trade, human smuggling and the sex trade. These concerted threats have impacted the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean creating a conjunction of forces that is now the single most potent threat to Caribbean state survival and sustainability.
La reflexión que propone este libro, señalan los autores, se articula a partir de dos ejes fundamentales del desarrollo sostenible: la dimensión social y la ambiental. Aseguran que los diferentes estudios muestran la urgencia de buscar cambios en lo que hacemos y en cómo lo hemos venido haciendo, ya que si bien la pobreza, la marginación y la desigualdad siguen siendo problemas prioritarios en el Estado de México, se han venido agravando por los efectos del uso intensivo de los recursos naturales. Enfatizan que el dilema entre el impulso a las actividades económicas que definió la dinámica de la entidad- con el disfrute pleno de los derechos sociales y la conservación del medio ambiente aumenta la complejidad de los problemas sociales y ecológicos. Subrayan que estudiar los procesos de desarrollo a nivel municipal y estatal contribuye a tener una mejor comprensión de dicha complejidad y a proponer soluciones adecuadas. Destacan que de esta manera, se pueden diseñar políticas públicas integrales orientadas a revertir las tendencias de deterioro social y ambiental.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
This book gathers the peer-reviewed papers presented at the 8th edition of the International Workshop “Service Orientation in Holonic and Multi-Agent Manufacturing – SOHOMA’18” held at the University of Bergamo, Italy on June 11–12, 2018. The objective of the SOHOMA annual workshops is to foster innovation in smart and sustainable manufacturing and logistics systems by promoting new concepts, methods and solutions that use service orientation of agent-based control technologies with distributed intelligence. Reflecting the theme of SOHOMA’18: “Digital transformation of manufacturing with agent-based control and service orientation of Internet-scale platforms”, the research included focuses on how the digital transformation, as advocated by the “Industry 4.0”, “Industrial Internet of Things”, “Cyber-Physical Production Systems” and “Cloud Manufacturing” frameworks, improves the efficiency, agility and sustainability of manufacturing processes, products, and services, and how it relates to the interaction between the physical and informational worlds, which is implemented in the virtualization of products, processes and resources managed as services.
