New Birdie is an opportunity to reflect on prejudices that we sometimes have about a person who is different. In a simple, accessible way, this book addresses concepts like difference, the other, migration and prejudice, plus equality, inclusion, and friendship, opening a window to the dialogue we need to have to look at ourselves and reflect on empathy and valuing difference.
¿Qué forma tiene la crisis? Nueve artistas chilenos, de distintas generaciones, dialogaron durante un año con un grupo de científicos en el Laboratorio Arte y Crisis en torno a la inquietud de ampliar y problematizar las formas de conocimiento disponibles acerca de las crisis sociales.
This volume combines 10 years of accomplished research at the Pilauco site. The studies are focused on a variety of scientific areas including geological, sedimentological, geomorphological and paleobotanical topics, as well as paleontology of vertebrata and invertebrata, micropaleontology, archaeology, biochemistry, taxonomy, taphonomy, astrophysics and the development of some particular touristic aspects. In 18 chapters a variety of authors describe the excavation and investigation of this unique location. The book presents Pilauco as an example for the natural laboratory which can be found in South America, a testing ground for many of the hypotheses regarding migrations of animals and hu...
Destacar mi ángel de la guarda fue mi inspiración. El escrito de lo que siento como un "Privilegiado" El puente es una idea de que ha pasado mucha agua bajo el, para llegar a escribir el fruto de una vocación la de curtidor. Con mi barba más blanca como muestra la foto, además con mi boina favorita, que disimula el poco cabello que me queda, sin ser acomplejado. Héctor Quevedo Abarzúa.
Since 1960, an unequal international structure is recognized in terms of production and circulation of knowledge in the international science system. This phenomenon is called academic dependency and motivated actions towards promoting the education of scientist and stimulating the bond between institutions and scholars of the periphery. This, considering that the peripheral knowledge-production structures were compromised by colonialism and its lasting effects.
Ecotones are dynamic over-lapping boundary areas where major terrestrial biomes meet. As past studies have shown, and as the chapters in this book will illustrate, their structure, size, and scope have changed considerably over the millennia, expanding and shrinking as climate and/or other driving conditions, also changed. Today, however, many of them are changing at a rate not seen for a long time, perhaps largely due to climate change and other human-induced factors. Indeed ecotones are more sensitive to climate change than the biomes on either side, and thus may serve as critical early indicators of future climate change. As ecotones change, they also redefine the limits of the biomes on ...
Se llama "alto riesgo" al embarazo en el cuál existe, asociado a patología materna y/o fetal, un pronóstico de morbilidad mayor que en un embarazo normal. Estos embarazos representan del 20% al 30% del total, pero son responsables de más del 80% de los resultados maternos y perinatales adversos. Problemas como la prematurez, la asfixia perinatal, las malformaciones congénitas y las enfermedades maternas pregestacionales requieren de estrategias orientadas a su prevención diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos.
This new book shows the work done by researchers dedicated to the study of different mycorrhizas types, the fungal species associated and their distribution influenced by geographical and environmental factors among the different South American biogeographic regions. The exclusive biotic and abiotic characteristics delimit natural ecosystems with uniques biological communities, where mycorrhizologists have investigated plant symbioses in those ecosystems for decades, providing data from Venezuelan Great Savannah, Andes, Puna, Chaco, Caatinga, Monte, Atlantic Forest, Marginal Forest, Cerrado, Patagonia, Yungas, Rainforest, Andean-Patagonian Forests, and Antarctic section. In these environment...
This book is intended for students and soil scientists who want to know about the state of the art in soil sciences in Chile. The book merges a comprehensive bibliographical review of the soil surveys carried out throughout the length and breadth of Chilean territory during the past 40 years and more recent information obtained by the authors in a number of field studies. As its starting point the book presents a general overview of important features related to Chilean soils, such as geology and geomorphology, climate, land use and vegetation. In this long and narrow country different soil formation factors and processes have resulted in a broad variety of soil bodies, from the extremely ar...
