Los capítulos que integran este libro surgen de las contribuciones exploratorias realizadas por un equipo de jóvenes investigadoras quienes participaron en el proceso de formación teórica y metodológica virtual ofrecido durante 2021 por el semillero de investigación Territorialidades Urbano-Rurales en la Ciudad Contemporánea, promovido por el profesor e investigador Manuel Enrique Pérez Martínez de la Facultad de Estudios Ambientales y Rurales de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. No obstante el aislamiento producido por la pandemia del covid-19, el uso de los medios virtuales de comunicación posibilitó el encuentro con personas de diversos orígenes y lugares, así fue como la promoción del mencionado semillero se realizó a través de las redes sociales que dio como resultado la integración de intereses temáticos comunes entre personas ubicadas en lugares geográficos que no hubiese sido posible conectar en las condiciones del desarrollo de procesos de investigación convencional.

Financing SMEs and Entrepreneurs 2024: An OECD Scoreboard monitors SME and entrepreneurship financing trends, conditions and policy developments in close to 50 countries.
This proceedings book features selected papers on 12 themes, including telecommunication, power systems, digital signal processing, robotics, control systems, renewable energy, power electronics, soft computing and more. Covering topics such as optoelectronic oscillator at S-band and C-band for 5G telecommunications, neural networks identification of eleven types of faults in high voltage transmission lines, cyber-attack mitigation on smart low voltage distribution grids, optimum load of a piezoelectric-based energy harvester, the papers present interesting ideas and state-of-the-art overviews.
Colombia’s response to the country’s drug problem has been based on the repression of the weakest links in the drug chain—namely consumers and small farmers—which has led to disproportionate rates of imprisonment and has involved a heavy focus on forced crop eradication. Not only has such an approach failed to effectively control the cocaine market, but it has also unleashed harmful side effects in terms of security, social development, and human rights as they concern communities in coca-growing areas. Moreover, although scholars and practitioners have analyzed Colombia’s drug problem from a variety of perspectives, these efforts have tended to overlook women’s experiences. This...
This is the second edition of the classic book An Introduction to Bioceramics which provides a comprehensive overview of all types of ceramic and glass materials that are used in medicine and dentistry. The enormous growth of the field of bioceramics is due to the recognition by the medical and dental community of the importance of bioactive materials to stimulate repair and regeneration of tissues. This edition includes 21 new chapters that document the science and especially the clinical applications of the new generation of bioceramics in the field of tissue regeneration and repair. Important socioeconomic factors influencing the economics and availability of new medical treatments are co...
The strict relationships between bacteria and plants represents one of the major facets of terrestrial ecology. Depending on the type of interaction and amount of metabolic advantage one organism can obtain from such relationships, these are classified as mutualistic, commensal or parasitic interactions. Within this context, Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas are bacterial genera with a worldwide spread, capable of establishing all of the above mentioned interactions with plants. Therefore, they represent good models for studying different lifestyles and, accordingly, deciphering distinct evolutionary trajectories followed by different lineages of a single genus to infect and/or to establish a mutualistic relationships with the plant. Some members of these two genera are regulated pests that are recognized as economically major threats for their host crop(s) both in temperate and tropical environments.
Estamos frente a una obra colectiva muy interesante para generaciones actuales y futuras. Tal vez es una osada síntesis de nuestra ya longeva relación con instituciones francesas, tanto de formación e investigación en ingeniería, como de cooperación diplomática y académica. Es resultado de la clara voluntad de avanzar por parte de una joven Universidad llena de ilusiones y de jóvenes profesores y líderes dispuestos a tomar riesgos: la Universidad de los Andes y su Facultad de Ingeniería de los años sesenta y setenta. La República de Francia, con una visión de mediano y largo plazo, identificó un espacio para que, con base en la construcción de mayores capacidades científicas...
