Epistemología Aplicada a la Investigación Pedagógica, aborda desde diferentes puntos de vista la problemática respecto al trabajo científico en la docencia, enfocado mediante un juicio crítico que en ocasiones pretende apartarse de estereotipos convencionales, pero con el fin de constituir una fuente de consulta apropiada para docentes en ejercicio y estudiantes de carreras pedagógicas. El lector podrá percatarse del carácter dinámico que se proyecta en cada uno de los capítulos, con ejemplos prácticos del quehacer pedagógico que en estos momentos reclama al producto tangible que tanto hace falta en este importante rubro. Es objetivo de los autores que el mismo constituya un aporte tendiente al perfeccionamiento del proceso docente educativo que en ocasiones se relegó a un segundo plano, pero ahora la sociedad lo incorpora al campo científico.
El futuro del planeta hoy presenta pronósticos trágicos. En la primera conferencia internacional celebrado en 1992 en Río de Janeiro, los países asistentes se comprometieron a afrontar el problema de los gases de efecto invernadero firmando la Convención Marco sobre el Cambio Climático. El hombre se encuentra en una situación difícil de confrontación con su conciencia y su prolongación vital está en peligro. ¡Vivir o morir! La temperatura promedio del planeta ha crecido 0,8 grados centígrados desde 1980, según el Instituto de estudios Espaciales de la NASA. Las últimas dos décadas del siglo XX fueron las más calurosas en cientos de años. Las temperaturas en Alaska, el Oeste canadiense y el Este de Rusia han subido a un ritmo que duplica el promedio mundial. El hielo del ártico está desapareciendo rápidamente y la región puede experimentar su primer verano completamente libre de hielo tan pronto como en el año 2040. Los glaciares se disuelven, las estaciones se modifican, los bosques se extinguen, miles de especies sucumben y el agua dulce languidece: la vida amenaza con desaparecer o mutar a estados imprevistos.
La diversidad cultural del Perú definida por Arguedas como país de todas las sangres constituye la mayor riqueza nacional, el bastión de desarrollo, el potencial cultural invaluable, que deberá ser al mismo tiempo fuente y medio de configuración de un rostro singular por el que los demás nos reconozcan. La posibilidad de lograr un espíritu genuino y sólido, pende de los contenidos y métodos educativos y exige aquello que Carpentier (2008) proclamaba: “El hombre nacido, crecido, formado en nuestras proliferantes ciudades de concreto armado... tiene el deber ineludible de conocer a sus clásicos, de releerlos, de meditarlos, para hallar sus raíces, para tratar de saber quién es y ...
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
A nuanced account from a user perspective of what it’s like to live in a datafied world. We live in a media-saturated society that increasingly transforms our experiences, relations, and identities into data others can analyze and monetize. Algorithms are key to this process, surveilling our most mundane practices, and to many, their control over our lives seems absolute. In Living with Algorithms, Ignacio Siles critically challenges this view by surveying user dynamics in the global south across three algorithmic platforms—Netflix, Spotify, and TikTok—and finds, surprisingly, a more balanced relationship. Drawing on a wealth of empirical evidence that privileges the user over the corp...
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
Ellen's stopped talking. She thinks she may have killed her dad. Her brother's barricaded himself in his room. Their mother, a successful actress, carries on as normal. We're a family of light! she insists. But darkness seeps in everywhere and in their separate worlds each of them longs for togetherness. Welcome to America is a scintillating portrait of a sensitive, strong-willed child and a young mind in the throes of trauma, a family on the brink of implosion, and the love that threatens to tear them apart.
