Tre saggi caratterizzano il volume. Il primo è di Giovanna De Sanctis Ricciardone, una personalità che ha attraversato gli ultimi cinquant'anni di lavoro nella città di Roma nel campo dell'architettura, della politica e dell'arte. Il secondo è di Luigi Franciosini che rappresenta una figura di spicco nel rapporto tra stratificazioni storiche e progettazione architettonica. Il terzo è di Antonino Saggio, studioso dei rapporti tra informatica e architettura e coordinatore del Dottorato di ricerca in Architettura - Teoria e Progetto. I diversi saggi illuminano con angolature diverse e personali alcuni aspetti della progettazione contemporanea. Undici architetti iscritti al Dottorato intessono relazioni tra il proprio lavoro e le tematiche illustrate."Roma Cosmo Materia Cultura" fornisce in definitiva un'apertura non convenzionale, ma ricca di spunti e tematiche molto pertinenti in particolare alla città di Roma, alla sua storia e ai sui suoi sviluppi futuri.
The title of this book, Supermadre, is ironic. It means, not that women have begun to exercise real power in Latin American political life, but that their participation is mostly confined to roles that are extensions of their roles as mothers—health, education, welfare, for example—and then only on the lower levels of policy-making. Elsa Chaney begins her study with an examination of various attempts to explain women's virtual absence from decision-making councils not only in Latin America but also world-wide, concluding that their motherhood role has had the profoundest effect on the nature of their political activities. She then analyzes the images and realities of women in Latin American society from colonial times to the present. The remainder of the book is a detailed study of women in politics and government in Latin America, with emphasis on the contrasting cases of Peru and Chile. In conclusion, Chaney suggests that women will make only slow progress toward full participation in public life until they themselves stop seeing their role in politics as that of the supermadre.
This book is a guide for educators on how to develop and evaluate evidence-based strategies for teaching biological experimentation to thereby improve existing and develop new curricula. It unveils the flawed assumptions made at the classroom, department, and institutional level about what students are learning and what help they might need to develop competence in biological experimentation. Specific case studies illustrate a comprehensive list of key scientific competencies that unpack what it means to be a competent experimental life scientist. It includes explicit evidence-based guidelines for educators regarding the teaching, learning, and assessment of biological research competencies....
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 1st International Conference on AI for People: Towards Sustainable AI, CAIP'21, held Virtually, on November 20-24, 2021. This event, organized by the non-profit association 'AI for People', aims to provide a platform for people to present, learn and discuss the use of Artificial Intelligence for the societal good, addressing its benefits as well as its risks. In this year's edition, we focus on Sustainable AI as a movement to foster change towards greater ecological integrity and social justice in the entire life cycle of AI systems. The 11 full papers and 1 short paper presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The presentations covered multiple research fields like Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Social Science, and Philosophy brought the discussion on how to shape Artificial Intelligence technology around human and societal needs. In order to foster this idea, this conference hoped to narrow the gap between civil society and technical experts.
