Las ciencias sociales y humanas, al igual que las ciencias de la salud –incluida la medicina–, son, a la fecha, precuánticas. Si les va bien, en el mejor de los casos, son relativistas, en el sentido de la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein. Es imposible entender el mundo de hoy, la realidad y la naturaleza sin un conocimiento básico de la teoría cuántica. Este libro busca llenar un vacío en una triple dirección: tender puentes entre la física cuántica y las ciencias sociales, tenderlos entre la teoría cuántica y las ciencias de la salud, y pensar, al mismo tiempo, la salud (no ya la enfermedad). El marco genérico es el contexto de las relaciones entre la salud y las ciencias de la complejidad. Una idea de base: la salud no es única –ni principalmente– un problema antropológico, antropomórfico o antropocéntrico.
Los temas y problemas de salud pública demandan, dada la complejidad creciente del mundo, nuevos métodos y aproximaciones. Este libro ofrece una aproximación a la relación entre la salud pública y las herramientas de la teoría de la complejidad como el modelamiento y la simulación. Por consiguiente, se trata de una comprensión de la salud en el marco de las ciencias de la complejidad. El modelamiento basado en agentes (MBA) consiste en una exploración de tesis y de problemas en términos del trabajo con posibilidades, antes que en términos simplemente estadísticos y de tendencias. El lenguaje de programación adoptado en los trabajos que componen este libro se concentran en Netlogo(R).

'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.

The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
