La Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (UNGRD) a través de la Comisión Nacional Asesora de Investigación en Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en cumplimiento de la misionalidad, de los planes y la agenda internacional, presentan el: Libro de Investigaciones en Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres para Colombia, el cual recopila avances, perspectivas y casos de estudio; reconociendo la importancia de las investigaciones. Esta publicación desarrolla capítulos relacionados con: ingeniería sísmica, fenómenos hidrometeorológicos, análisis y evaluación del riesgo, reducción del riesgo, aspectos históricos, educación del riesgo, comunicación del riesgo y casos de estudio; permitiendo presentar al público en general las investigaciones actuales en materia de gestión del riesgo de desastres, puntos clave y recomendaciones, el cual es el inicio de diferentes publicaciones divulgativas en conocimiento del riesgo, que muestran los aportes de la academia, entidades técnico-científicas y otros actores del SNGRD.
Flavonoids are abundant secondary metabolites found in plants and fungi that have various roles in these organisms, including pigmentation, cell signalling, plant defence and inter-organism communication. Due to their abundance in nature, flavonoids are also important components of the human diet, and the last four decades have seen an intense study focused on the structure characterization of flavonoids and on their roles in mammal metabolism. This book reviews most of the well-established activities of flavonoids, and we also present more recent research studies on the area of flavonoids, including the chemical aspects of structure characterization of flavonoids, the biosynthesis of flavonoids in model plants as well as their role in abiotic stress situations and in agriculture, the role of flavonoids in metabolism and health and their importance in foods, from consumption to their use as bioactive components.
Research into complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF) as basic dimensions of second language performance, proficiency and development has received increased attention in SLA. However, the larger picture in this field of research is often obscured by the breadth of scope, multiple objectives and lack of clarity as to how complexity, accuracy and fluency should be defined, operationalized and measured. The present volume showcases current research on CAF by bringing together eleven contributions from renowned international researchers in the field. These contributions not only add to the body of empirical knowledge about L2 use and L2 development by bringing new research findings to light but they also address fundamental theoretical and methodological issues by responding to questions about the nature, manifestation, development and assessment of CAF as multifaceted constructs. Collectively, the chapters in this book illustrate the converging and sometimes diverging approaches that different disciplines bring to CAF research.
This collection gives broad and up-to-date results in the research and development of materials characterization and processing. Topics covered include characterization methods, ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, minerals, ceramics, polymer and composites, powders, extraction, microstructure, mechanical behavior, processing, corrosion, welding, solidification, magnetic, electronic, environmental, nano-materials, and advanced materials The book explores scientific processes to characterize materials using modern technologies, and focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence among processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials.
This book explores various and distinct aspects of environmental health literacy (EHL) from the perspective of investigators working in this emerging field and their community partners in research. Chapters aim to distinguish EHL from health literacy and environmental health education in order to classify it as a unique field with its own purposes and outcomes. Contributions in this book represent the key aspects of communication, dissemination and implementation, and social scientific research related to environmental health sciences and the range of expertise and interest in EHL. Readers will learn about the conceptual framework and underlying philosophical tenets of EHL, and its relation ...
El campo de estudios sobre la familia fue el punto de confluencia para un conjunto de estudios adelantados por investigadores y estudiantes, de posgrado y pregrado, formándose en antropología, psicología, trabajo social, sociología y filosofía, quienes optaron por abordar la familia como sujeto social, colectivo y político, que se gesta en un imbricado entramado de interacciones con la vida natural, social y psicológica, cuya complejidad logra ser enriquecida gracias al encuentro interdisciplinar. Luego de más de 10 años de trabajo educativo e investigativo, este libro da cuenta del modelo y enfoque investigativo consolidado para ello, como de sus resultados. El abordaje epistemoló...
Cities are now home to 55% of the world’s population, and that number is rising. Urban populations across the world will continue to grow, including in megacities with populations over ten million. In 2016 there were 31 megacities globally, according to the United Nations’ World Cities Report, with 24 of those cities located in the Global South. That number is expected to rise to 41 by 2030, with all ten new megacities in the Global South where the processes of urbanization are intrinsically distinct from those in the Global North. The Routledge Handbook of Planning Megacities in the Global South provides rigorous comparative analyses, discussing the challenges, processes, best practices, and initiatives of urbanization in Middle America, South America, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. This book is indispensable reading for students and scholars of urban planning, and its significance as a resource will only continue to grow as urbanization reshapes the global population.
