La incertidumbre que caracteriza los tiempos actuales y venideros y las múltiples consecuencias de su influencia (a nivel individual y colectivo) se constituyen en fuente de formación y confrontación para los investigadores. De manera particular, las facultades de educación, comprometidas con la formación de doctores en este campo, tienen como desafío propiciar el desarrollo de propuestas que contribuyan a transformar la compleja crisis de las certezas desde la investigación, desarrollo e innovación de las dinámicas sociales, económicas, políticas, comunicativas y culturales. En atención a este desafío, este texto plantea una propuesta para la comprensión y construcción teóri...
La educación y el sujeto político: aporte crítico ofrece la reflexión de la acción educativa desde una perspectiva social, política, ética y cultural, donde se privilegia la mirada hacia los contextos sociales en los que están inmersos los actores de un proceso de formación educativa. A partir de esa premisa, se presentan once capítulos integrados en cuatro núcleos temáticos que recogen los diálogos construidos en el Seminario de Fundamentación Política del Doctorado en Educación y Sociedad, espacio en el que se propuso relacionar de manera crítica al doctorando con su propia circunstancia de sujeto político y ético. Tal perspectiva implicó que cada uno se pensara como un ciudadano activo, con la capacidad de transformar el entorno educativo desde una doble condición: la de estudiante-trabajador, en esencia privilegiada para el entendimiento textual y contextual de un fenómeno educativo. Y, desde ese lugar, intentar la combinación del estado del arte, que domina desde el análisis referencial, con el estado de la práctica, que asume con su larga experiencia como formador o gestor educativo.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geological evolution of the Northern Andes and contiguous shield areas, with a focus upon Colombia. Updated geological interpretations are supported by modern lithogeochemical, seismic, gravity and magnetic data and radiogenic isotope and radiometric age determinations. The composite data permits a detailed interpretation of the tectono-magmatic history of the Northern Andean Block, including the Andes of Colombia, northern Ecuador, western Venezuela and eastern Panamá. Tectonic reconstructions based upon characterization of more than thirty litho-tectonic and morpho-structural units, terrane assemblages and tectonic realms, and their bound...
An extraordinary coming-of-age memoir by the Nobel-Prize-winning playwright My First Seven Years is Dario Fo's fantastic, enchanting memoir of his youth spent in Northern Italy on the shores of Lago Maggiore. As a child, Fo grew up in a picturesque village teeming with glass-blowers, smugglers and storytellers. Of his teenage years, Fo recounts the struggles of the Fascists and Partisans, the years of World War II, and his own tragicomic experience trying to desert the Fascist army. In a series of colorful vignettes, Fo draws us into a remarkable early life filled with characters and anecdotes that would become the inspiration for his own creative genius.

Permutation testing for multivariate stochastic ordering and ANOVA designs is a fundamental issue in many scientific fields such as medicine, biology, pharmaceutical studies, engineering, economics, psychology, and social sciences. This book presents new advanced methods and related R codes to perform complex multivariate analyses. The prerequisites are a standard course in statistics and some background in multivariate analysis and R software.
Multiple criteria decision aid (MCDA) methods are illustrated in this book through theoretical and computational techniques utilizing Python. Existing methods are presented in detail with a step by step learning approach. Theoretical background is given for TOPSIS, VIKOR, PROMETHEE, SIR, AHP, goal programming, and their variations. Comprehensive numerical examples are also discussed for each method in conjunction with easy to follow Python code. Extensions to multiple criteria decision making algorithms such as fuzzy number theory and group decision making are introduced and implemented through Python as well. Readers will learn how to implement and use each method based on the problem, the ...
This book highlights cutting-edge research in the field of network science, offering scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners a unique update on the latest advances in theory and a multitude of applications. It presents the peer-reviewed proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Complex Networks and their Applications (COMPLEX NETWORKS 2019), which took place in Lisbon, Portugal, on December 10–12, 2019. The carefully selected papers cover a wide range of theoretical topics such as network models and measures; community structure, and network dynamics; diffusion, epidemics, and spreading processes; resilience and control as well as all the main network applications, including social and political networks; networks in finance and economics; biological and neuroscience networks; and technological networks.
This book describes the Mesozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the Chilean and Argentinean Andes. The book is structured from a historical perspective concentrating on specific processes explained in each chapter. The chapters cover dynamic subsidence; neotectonics; magmatism; long and short term deformation; spatial development of ancient orogenic processes that control Andean reactivations; relation between ocean bathymetry and deformation. Sources of detritus through Andean construction are discussed by specialists from both sides of the Southern Andes. This book provides up-to-date reviews, maps, evolutionary schemes and extensive reference lists useful for geoscientists and students in Earth Science fields.
