Este libro propone una reflexión crítica sobre conceptos que han sido centrales en la concepción liberal de la información, como la objetividad, el distanciamiento del periodista y la visión dicotómica que caracteriza al discurso periodístico. Esto lo hace en función de promover un periodismo que se conecte más directamente con el significado de la opinión pública, la emergencia de la ciudadanía y el debate de los puntos de vista de los ciudadanos, ya que la debilidad de la esfera pública está vinculada a la exclusión del ciudadano del común y sus propuestas a las visiones colectivas de las sociedades. En el libro se sustenta el modelo conceptual y comunicativo del reconocido proyecto Voces Ciudadanas de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (Medellín, Colombia).

This book presents computational intelligence methodologies and its applications to sustainable development goals. Along 18 chapters prepared by reputed scientists around the world, this book explores and focuses on the impacts produced by the application of artificial intelligence and mainly of computational intelligence, in sustainable development goals and on analysing how particularly computational intelligence can influence the ability to comply in a timely manner with all the sustainable development goals. Specialists from STEM areas will find in this book an attractive showcase of instances and research lines to be explored.
To the pure football fan even winning and losing is of secondary importance to those moments when a glimpse is afforded of footballing perfection, made more perfect still by the long and unpredictable hours spent waiting for it, and often the parade of tragicomic errors that has preceeded it. Such instances, of exultation and despair, are recounted in this book, a parade of all shades of international football.
This book received support from the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Colombia and the scientific Subdirectorate and the Department of Education of the Colombian Society of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation (Sociedad Colombiana de Anestesiología y Reanimación S.C.A.R.E.). It is lucky to be blessed with the participation of young and enthusiastic academics from two public universities, the National University and the University of Caldas. We hope it will contribute to the study and practice of resuscitation in a country like Colombia, where health policies are underdeveloped and where, due to a lack of prevention, treatment is much more difficult. This is all the more the case in the worst of situations —cardiorespiratory arrest.
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: • Electrical and Electronic• Energy and Mechanics
One of the major challenges facing the legal profession today is how to adapt and apply the concept of attorney-client privilege (or professional secrecy) in an increasingly globalised world. Rules on attorney-client privilege differ significantly from country to country. This book explores such differences within 32 jurisdictions in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Together with its complementary volume Professional Secrecy of Lawyers in Europe (Cambridge, 2013), this book explores the creation of a common definition for attorney-client privilege which can be accepted by a wide variety of countries and international institutions. Practice and interpretation within each jurisdiction is mapped and explored, including reference to local laws, ethical rules and case law. This book is a useful resource for those working on transactions or litigations which involve several countries.
Modern science communication has emerged in the twentieth century as a field of study, a body of practice and a profession—and it is a practice with deep historical roots. We have seen the birth of interactive science centres, the first university actions in teaching and conducting research, and a sharp growth in employment of science communicators. This collection charts the emergence of modern science communication across the world. This is the first volume to map investment around the globe in science centres, university courses and research, publications and conferences as well as tell the national stories of science communication. How did it all begin? How has development varied from one country to another? What motivated governments, institutions and people to see science communication as an answer to questions of the social place of science? Communicating Science describes the pathways followed by 39 different countries. All continents and many cultures are represented. For some countries, this is the first time that their science communication story has been told.
