Reconfiguraciones de la epistemología en la filosofía contemporánea
Esta obra es el resultado de una reflexión colectiva acerca de las ideas de diversas corrientes actuales en epistemología, cuya incidencia impacta la investigación en las ciencias sociales y humanas. Mediante el trabajo dialógico, de un grupo de profesores y profesoras, hemos emprendido la tarea de hallar puntos de encuentro entre las propuestas de diversos enfoques epistemológicos que tradicionalmente se habían negado a asumir una posición de escucha y retroalimentación recíproca. Aprovechando la metáfora wittgensteiniana de "parecidos de familia" hemos puesto en deliberación las contribuciones del pragmatismo, la fenomenología, la hermenéutica fenomenológica, el posestructuralismo, las epistemologías del sur y las epistemologías feministas, con el fin de hacer énfasis en los vasos comunicantes e ideas comunes entre estos enfoques. Estas nuevas configuraciones de la epistemología están realizando aportes significativos tanto en los fundamentos ontológicos y epistemológicos de las ciencias sociales y humanas, como en la generación de recursos metodológicos.
Sustainable Smart Cities
This volume provides the most current research on smart cities. Specifically, it focuses on the economic development and sustainability of smart cities and examines how to transform older industrial cities into sustainable smart cities. It aims to identify the role of the following elements in the creation and management of smart cities:• Citizen participation and empowerment • Value creation mechanisms • Public administration• Quality of life and sustainability• Democracy• ICT• Private initiatives and entrepreneurship Regardless of their size, all cities are ultimately agglomerations of people and institutions. Agglomeration economies make it possible to attain minimum efficie...
Devenires animales
A lo largo de la historia, el arte ha dedicado un espacio importante a la presencia del animal, su simbolismo y la tematización de los vinculos afectivos que tienen lugar entre especies, elaboraciones que resuenan hasta nuestros días. El autor da cuenta de ese devenir, lo actualiza en el tiempo y lo aterriza en el contexto de su propia experiencia como profesor de una escuela de artes. De esta manera, el libro configura una suerte de intertexto donde toman voz la historia del arte, los estudios visuales, la filosofía, la estética, el estudio de los símbolos y la literatura. En la manera como teje sentido entre temporalidades, especies y espacios, propicia una suerte de paneo conceptual ...
Measuring Regional Authority
This is the first of five ambitious volumes theorizing the structure of governance above and below the central state. This book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and consequences of governance within the state and for social scientists who take measurement seriously. The book sets out a measure of regional authority for 81 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific from 1950 to 2010. Subnational authority is exercised by individual regions, and this measure is the first that takes individual regions as the unit of analysis. On the premise that transparency is a fundamental virtue in measurement, the authors chart a new path in laying out ...
Realising REDD+
REDD+ must be transformational. REDD+ requires broad institutional and governance reforms, such as tenure, decentralisation, and corruption control. These reforms will enable departures from business as usual, and involve communities and forest users in making and implementing policies that a ect them. Policies must go beyond forestry. REDD+ strategies must include policies outside the forestry sector narrowly de ned, such as agriculture and energy, and better coordinate across sectors to deal with non-forest drivers of deforestation and degradation. Performance-based payments are key, yet limited. Payments based on performance directly incentivise and compensate forest owners and users. B...
Nutritional Quality Improvement in Plants
This book presents a detailed overview and critical evaluation of recent advances and remaining challenges in improving nutritional quality and/or avoiding the accumulation of undesirable substances in plants using a variety of strategies based on modern biological tools and techniques. Each review chapter provides an authoritative and insightful account of the various aspects of nutritional enhancement of plants. In the course of the last two decades, several food crops rich in macro- and micronutrients have been developed to improve health and protect a large section of the populace in developing countries from chronic diseases. Providing extensive information on these developments, this book offers a valuable resource for all researchers, students and industrialists working in agriculture, the plant sciences, agronomy, horticulture, biotechnology, food and nutrition, and the soil and environmental sciences.
Artificial Intelligence, Computer and Software Engineering Advances
This book constitutes the proceedings of the XV Multidisciplinary International Congress on Science and Technology (CIT 2020), held in Quito, Ecuador, on 26–30 October 2020, proudly organized by Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE in collaboration with GDEON. CIT is an international event with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes the dissemination of advances in Science and Technology research through the presentation of keynote conferences. In CIT, theoretical, technical, or application works that are research products are presented to discuss and debate ideas, experiences, and challenges. Presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, the book discusses the following topics: Artificial Intelligence Computational Modeling Data Communications Defense Engineering Innovation, Technology, and Society Managing Technology & Sustained Innovation, and Business Development Modern Vehicle Technology Security and Cryptography Software Engineering
Tissue-Specific Cell Signaling
Signal transduction comprises the intracellular biochemical signals which induce the appropriate cell response to an external stimulus. The players in signal transduction are diverse, from small molecules as first messengers, to proteins, receptors, transcription factors, among many others. The different signaling pathways and the crosstalk between them originates the unique signaling profile of every cell type in the human body. The cell signaling specificity depends on several aspects including protein composition, subcellular localization and complexes and gene promoters. This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the specific signaling pathways on a variety of human tissues. This information can be of great value for health science researchers, professionals and students to understand key pathways for tissue-specific functions in the plethora of signals, signals receptors, transducers and effectors.

Antarcticness
Antarcticness joins disciplines, communication approaches and ideas to explore meanings and depictions of Antarctica. Personal and professional words in poetry and prose, plus images, present and represent Antarctica, as presumed and as imagined, alongside what is experienced around the continent and by those watching from afar. These understandings explain how the Antarctic is viewed and managed while identifying aspects which should be more prominent in policy and practice. The authors and artists place Antarctica, and the perceptions and knowledge through Antarcticness, within inspirations and imaginations, without losing sight of the multiple interests pushing the continent’s governanc...
