El reto de construir una cultura de paz en Colombia que acompañe un posconflicto armado se encuentra intrínsecamente ligado al posicionamiento social de la educación y pedagogía para la paz, entendida como el proceso educativo y reflexivo para desarrollar dicha nueva cultura. En ese sentido, esta obra presenta un análisis académico para plantear los elementos orientadores de la apuesta de la universidad por una cultura de paz, sin perder de vista la naturaleza de la institución universitaria, la cual deja de relieve la educación y la formación como su objeto central y la pedagogía como su herramienta. Así, este libro revisa varios elementos teórico-conceptuales que pueden identificarse para la orientación de la educación y pedagogía para la paz en el posconflicto armado, desde el ámbito institucional de la universidad colombiana, a partir de la reflexión pedagógica.
Paz en crisis es un proyecto editorial de largo aliento que ofrece en todos y cada uno de los tomos que conforman la serie (cuatro en total) perspectivas multidisciplinares y multidimensionales, pluralidad metodológica y variedad en las maneras de hacer investigación. Los tomos, en su conjunto, presentan reflexiones diversas sobre las antiguas, múltiples y nuevas conflictividades (tanto armadas como no armadas), así como de los diferentes actores (heredados, emergentes y transformados), en el escenario de lo que ha venido refiriéndose por algunos especialistas como una situación de posacuerdo bélico en Colombia. Este tercer tomo de la serie, que lleva por título Ciudadanías para tra...
Este libro del Grupo de Investigación en Seguridad y Defensa (Gisde) de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, La Fuerza Pública Colombiana en el posacuerdo: reflexiones acerca de su proceso de adecuación, busca contribuir a la reflexión y el debate actual en nuestro país acerca de qué tipo de fuerza pública es la que requerimos en este periodo de posacuerdo con las FARC. Con este objetivo examinamos cuál debe ser el camino más adecuado para avanzar, a partir de múltiples miradas, dado que las transformaciones necesarias deben ser incrementales, consensuadas, fundamentadas y con una importante apropiación de la sociedad. Esta es una contribución para una mejor Colombia en la que se analizan sus Fuerzas Militares y de Policía para un escenario de posacuerdo.
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text is a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This includes a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
This book provides a unique exploration of the inter-relationships between the science of plant environmental responses and the understanding and management of forest fires. It bridges the gap between plant ecologists, interested in the functional and evolutionary consequences of fire in ecosystems, with foresters and fire managers, interested in effectively reducing fire hazard and damage. This innovation in this study lies in its focus on the physiological responses of plants that are of relevance for predicting forest fire risk, behaviour and management. It covers the evolutionary trade-offs in the resistance of plants to fire and drought, and its implications for predicting fuel moisture and fire risk; the importance of floristics and plant traits, in interaction with landform and atmospheric conditions, to successfully predict fire behaviour, and provides recommendations for pre- and post- fire management, in relation with the functional composition of the community. The book will be particularly focused on examples from Mediterranean environments, but the underlying principles will be of broader utility.
Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an
The School of International Arbitration of the Centre for Commercial Law Studies at Queen Mary University of London celebrated its 30th anniversary in April 2015 with a major conference featuring presentations by 35 international arbitration practitioners and scholars from many countries representing a variety of legal systems. This volume has emerged from that conference. What is striking is not only the range and diversity of the topics examined but also the emergence of new subjects for examination, demonstrating that arbitration law and practice do not stand still but are constantly evolving. The issues and topics covered include the following: - Evolution of case law and practice in int...

"In recent years, the concept of fair and equitable treatment has assumed prominence in investment relations between States. While the earliest proposals that made reference to this standard of treatment for investment are contained in various multilateral efforts in the period immediately following World War II, the bulk of the State practice incorporating the standard is to be found in bilateral investment treaties which have become a central feature in international investment relations. In essence, the fair and equitable standard provides a yardstick by which relations between foreign direct investors and Governments of capital-importing countries may be assessed. It also acts as a signal from capital-importing countries, for it indicates, at the very least, a State's willingness to accommodate foreign capital on terms that take into account the interests of the investor in fairness and equity."--Provided by publisher.
Almost 20 years after the first MEDPINE book "Ecology, biogeography and management of Pinus halepensis and P. brutia forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin "(Ne'eman and Trabaud, 2000) was published, this new book presents up-to-date and state of the art information, covering a wide range of topics concerning Mediterranean pine trees growing in native and planted forests, their ecosystems and management. This will be an essential source of scientific information for learning, exploring planning and managing mediterranean pine and mixed forests. We focus on: genetics, adaptation, distribution and evolution; ecophysiology and drought resistance; pine and mixed forest ecosystems; forest d...
