La historiografía sobre los movimientos armados en Colombia se ha enfocado, principalmente, en analizar las guerrillas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX desde una perspectiva macro y ofreciendo explicaciones estructurales. En este trabajo, la reducción en la escala de observación, las entrevistas, la historia oral y el análisis de trayectorias biográficas son herramientas que permiten dar cuenta de una organización guerrillera compleja, diversa, con matices y conflictos en las experiencias de cada militante, como lo es Movimiento 19 de Abril (M-19). A través de doce historias de vida de estos militantes urbanos de Bogotá, quienes ocupaban cargos medios y operativos, cada capítulo per...
Durante 365 años, el Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Señora del Rosario ha sido una institución que permanece a la vanguardia de la educación y de los debates políticos, sociales, económicos y culturales del país. Esta obra se trata de un largo camino, una historia que no cesa y que se alimenta constantemente de aportes a las ciencias, a las letras y a la sociedad. Las diversas microhistorias recopiladas en este libro partieron de la idea de casos aislados que, durante mucho tiempo, habían pasado inadvertidos por parte de historiadores e investigadores. La conmemoración que hoy se hace al claustro, junto a una mirada en perspectiva —y haciendo alusión al Plan de Desarrollo de la institución— permite concluir que la Universidad del Rosario continúa formando a sus estudiantes bajo los mismos principios rectores con los que fue fundada, esto es, no solo ser de los estudiantes y para ellos, sino constituirse en un baluarte para la formación ética, humanística y científica.
One-volume reference work on the first twenty-five years of the cinema's international emergence from the early 1890s to the mid-1910s.
Telemedicine and remote patient monitoring are innovative tools to provide remote transmission, interpretation, and storage of data for review by the care team. These tools allow for accurate home monitoring of patients enabling the team to improve care through prevention and early identification of problems. This book is structured into four main parts. The first describes the evolution of peritoneal dialysis and related technology. The second part summarizes current unmet clinical needs reported by patients and care teams, the need for innovation in the field, and the technical and clinical issues involved with the modern management of peritoneal dialysis. The third section presents the op...
Placing the prostitute at the center of reading, Fictions of Bad Life moves between text and meta-text, exploring how to rescue the prostitute from her imprisonment and turn her into the subject of history.
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
Peter Salter is an architect and teacher (at the Architectural Association, the University of East London, the University of Bath, and the Welsh School of Architecture) whose work has influenced several generations of students. Walmer Yard, in Notting Hill, is his first residential project in the UK and one of only a small number of buildings he has completed worldwide. Although modest in scale, the project is extraordinary in many ways. On an irregularly shaped site, Salter's design brings four houses into a complex relationship with each other, half-formal, half-familiar, interdependent yet solitary. Similarly, the relations among the core team who developed the design are more nuanced than in most architectural projects, since they all met at the Architectural Association in Peter Salter's unit, where Crispin Kelly (the client) and Fenella Collingridge (Peter's current collaborator) were student contemporaries. This book documents the project with Peter Salter's original pen-and-ink drawings and H�l�ne Binet's extraordinary photographs.
Despite constant significant advances, cardiovascular as well as more general outcomes of hemodialysis treatment remain unsatisfactory. The introduction of innovative 'high retention onset' membranes has led to the development of a new treatment modality called 'expanded hemodialysis' (HDx), which is the focus of this book. This new therapy is likely to benefit end-stage kidney disease patients, thanks to enhanced removal of molecules retained by current dialysis techniques. HDx is simple to set up and application does not require special hardware or specific nursing skills. This book contains emerging evidence and fascinating new hypotheses on HDx. It is highly recommended for all physicians and healthcare professionals who are caring for dialysis patients and are seeking innovation and improved care solutions. It will also be of considerable interest to students and fellows.
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
