This book is the “Study Book” of ICMI-Study no. 20, which was run in cooperation with the International Congress on Industry and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM). The editors were the co-chairs of the study (Damlamian, Straesser) and the organiser of the Study Conference (Rodrigues). The text contains a comprehensive report on the findings of the Study Conference, original plenary presentations of the Study Conference, reports on the Working Groups and selected papers from all over world. This content was selected by the editors as especially pertinent to the study each individual chapter represents a significant contribution to current research.
La problemática asociada al aprendizaje y la enseñanza de las matemáticas va cambiando según evoluciona la sociedad en la que se da este proceso. Sin lugar a dudas la globalización y los problemas con ella asociadas ocupan un lugar preponderante en las dinámicas de nuestra sociedad. Nuestra sociedad ha dejado de ser un grupo homogéneo de personas con referencias culturales uniformes y se ha convertido en pocas décadas en una sociedad multicultural. La enseñanza de las matemáticas no puede dejar de constatar esta situación y parece que deberá pasar de una concepción cultural única a una visión más poliédrica de la relación, siempre interesante, entre la enseñanza de las matemáticas y el medio social en el que se da.
Muchas de las propuestas didácticas en torno al uso de las matemáticas en la vida cotidiana consisten en la aplicación de contenidos matemáticos que se enseñan en las distintas etapas de educación secundaria. Sin embargo, el presente libro se aleja pretendidamente de dicho enfoque, puesto que parte de la constatación de que las distintas situaciones y actividades vitales no se organizan ni por asignaturas ni contenidos e involucran además distintas competencias y saberes. Así, no es lo mismo relacionar, identificar o aplicar matemáticas en situaciones cotidianas que crear nuevas ideas matemáticas inspiradas en ellas o convertir dichas situaciones en una actividad de enseñanza y a...

This comprehensive subspecialty reference book on NeuroEndocrine Tumor (NET) pathology brings together the diagnostic and clinical expertise of an outstanding team of practicing neuroendocrine pathologists and oncologists. In addition to in-depth coverage of clinico-pathologic aspects of NETs of the various organ systems, the recent histological grading and staging schemes proposed by the North American and European NeuroEndocrine Tumor Societies (NANETS, ENETS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), this book also focuses on the recent molecular and therapeutic advances in the field of NET pathology and oncology. Neuroendocrine Tumors: Review of Pathology, Molecular and Therapeutic Advances will be an essential reference book for anatomic pathology (histopathology) residents, fellows, surgical pathologists, researchers, oncologists, surgeons and other medical professionals practicing advanced NET Pathology and Oncology in academia, community, private practice and research settings.
This open access book is supported by the European Atherosclerosis Society Association (EAS). This follow-up edition of the well-received Handbook volume 'Atherosclerosis: Diet and Drugs' reflects the state-of-the-art and most recent developments in atherosclerosis research. Outstanding international experts give a comprehensive overview of the field covering topics, such as improving the treatment focusing on established targets, novel drug developments addressing pre-defined targets, hypothesis-based and hypothesis-free approaches to unravel novel targets.
Building in existing fabric requires more than practical solutions and stylistic skills. The adaptive reuse of buildings, where changes in the structure go along with new programs and functions, poses the fundamental question of how the past should be included in the design for the future. On the background of long years of teaching and publishing, and using vivid imagery from Frankenstein to Rem Koolhaas and beyond, the author provides a comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects. History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse as a design practice field of its own right.
This open access book offers the first comprehensive account of the pan-genome concept and its manifold implications. The realization that the genetic repertoire of a biological species always encompasses more than the genome of each individual is one of the earliest examples of big data in biology that opened biology to the unbounded. The study of genetic variation observed within a species challenges existing views and has profound consequences for our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underpinning bacterial biology and evolution. The underlying rationale extends well beyond the initial prokaryotic focus to all kingdoms of life and evolves into similar concepts for metagenomes, p...
