La Disposición Final de la Ley 21/2014 establecía que el Gobierno, en el plazo de un año desde la entrada en vigor de la misma, debía afrontar una reforma integral de nuestra vigente Ley de Propiedad Intelectual, lo que a día de hoy no ha tenido lugar. La Ley de Propiedad Intelectual data de 1987 y, a pesar de las sucesivas modificaciones que de la misma se han ido produciendo, se encuentra necesitada de una reforma en profundidad. El paso a una sociedad digital, así como las nuevas exigencias sociales y culturales, requieren una nueva visión en diversos temas. En este libro se abordan, precisamente, las cuestiones más importantes que deberían ser tenidas en cuenta a la hora de proc...
'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.
Es una monografía que parte de la aplicación de la inevitable y ubicua Inteligencia artificial al mundo del arte y de la creación. Partiendo de la consideración de la actividad de creación artística como una actividad inteligente, el autor plantea la posibilidad de que los sistemas inteligentes consigan un grado de creatividad análogo al humano, logrando producir resultados que alcancen la valoración de «obras», tanto literarias como musicales, pictóricas y artísticas. Esto no es sino una aplicación del Test de Turing a la actividad de un sistema inteligente, pero con un plus, el de que lo que se intenta comprobar es una cualidad que no todos los seres humanos poseen, la creativ...
Oceanic islands offer biologists unparalleled opportunities to study evolutionary processes and ecological phenomena. However, human activity threatens to alter or destroy many of these fragile ecosystems, with recent estimates suggesting that nearly half of the world's insular endemics are threatened with extinction. Bringing together researchers from around the world, this book illustrates how modern research methods and new concepts have challenged accepted theories and changed our understanding of island flora. Particular attention is given to the impact of molecular studies and the insights that they provide into topics such as colonisation, radiation, diversification and hybridisation. Examples are drawn from around the world, including the Hawaiian archipelago, Galapagos Islands, Madagascar and the Macronesian region. Conservation issues are also highlighted, with coverage of alien species and the role of ex situ conservation providing valuable information that will aid the formulation of management strategies and genetic rescue programmes.
Los más reconocidos estudiosos de la tecnología muestran su preocupación ante la circunstancia de que, deslumbrados por los beneficios, ya comprobados o futuros, del fenómeno, olvidemos los riesgos y amenazas que también se ciernen sobre nosotros: el llamado «doble uso» de la tecnología. Con esta perspectiva, el gran problema de la era tecnológica en la que nos encontramos es, según esos mismos expertos, el de su control, esto es, evitar un desarrollo incontrolado que pueda poner en riesgo los valores humanos y, con ello, la supervivencia misma de la humanidad («riesgo existencial»). La pregunta surge de inmediato: ¿hay que poner límites al desarrollo tecnológico? La cuestión...
Longlisted for the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence A provocative, exuberant novel about time, memory, desire, and the imagination from the internationally bestselling and prizewinning author of The Blazing World, Memories of the Future tells the story of a young Midwestern woman’s first year in New York City in the late 1970s and her obsession with her mysterious neighbor, Lucy Brite. As she listens to Lucy through the thin walls of her dilapidated building, S.H., aka “Minnesota,” transcribes her neighbor’s bizarre and increasingly ominous monologues in a notebook, along with sundry other adventures, until one frightening night when Lucy bursts into her apartment on a resc...
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.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED 'An astoundingly joyful read . . . a book that shines with intellectual curiosity and emotional integrity' Guardian 'By turns funny, moving and erudite, playfully reminding us of a contemporary Jane Austen' Daily Mail After Mia Fredricksen's husband of thirty years asks for a pause - so he can indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague - she cracks up (briefly), rages (deeply), then decamps to her prairie childhood home. There, gradually, she is drawn into the lives of those around her: her mother's circle of feisty widows; the young woman next door; and the diabolical teenage girls in her poetry class. By the end of the ...
La Ribera, una comarca creada pel Xúquer en el seu tram final, entre les muntanyes interiors i la mar, ha estat històricament terra de castells. Des de les torres (Espioca, Benifaió, Almussafes, Sollana, Trullàs ...) que, pel nord, conformaven el primer cinturó defensiu de la ciutat de València fins als castells que, pel sud i per l’est, controlaven els principals eixos de comunicacions (els de Cullera i Corbera, el camí de la costa; els de Castelló i Sumacàrcer, la vall del Xúquer i el camí interior, cap al centre del país i cap a Castella; i els de la Vall dels Alcalans, altres rutes secundàries cap a i des de la meseta castellana), tot el territori comarcal apareix recobert...
