Entre 2015 y 2020, América Latina ha tenido que lidiar con la desaceleración económica de los modelos neoextractivistas, el estancamiento de la reducción de la pobreza y de la desigualdad, la creciente rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y China, además de la cada vez mayor insatisfacción de la sociedad civil con las promesas de las democracias -con frecuentes derivas autocráticas-, que han sido minadas por la corrupción o por la violencia. Con este pasado reciente en mente, este libro ofrece los aportes de veintitrés académicos de varios rincones del continente que identifican ciclos y entreciclos socioeconómicos y políticos, para entender los resultados y los desafíos de una modernización regional inacabada. El primer cuarto del siglo xxI finaliza con el agotamiento de la ola rosa, el descrédito de las promesas de las nuevas derechas o las vías intermedias y, principalmente, con una pandemia que fuerza a reformular el lugar de América Latina en el mundo y viceversa, mediante la puesta a prueba de herencias y proyectos compartidos
La transformación del conocimiento sobre el crimen y el castigo en la región les ha exigido a los abogados una metamorfosis en su manera de aproximarse a la cuestión criminal. Las provocativas críticas normativas a la política criminal que han sido precursoras de la criminología crítica latinoamericana siguen siendo fundamentales y están presentes en Perspectivas sociojurídicas sobre el control del crimen, pero con una mirada interdisciplinaria más amplia y empíricamente fundamentada, tan necesaria para el fortalecimiento del pensamiento criminológico latinoamericano. A lo largo de estas páginas, investigadores colombianos de diferentes universidades analizan críticamente cómo...
This two volume set LNAI 10947 and LNAI 10948 constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, AIED 2018, held in London, UK, in June 2018.The 45 full papers presented in this book together with 76 poster papers, 11 young researchers tracks, 14 industry papers and 10 workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 192 submissions. The conference provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of approaches, techniques and ideas from the many fields that comprise AIED, including computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, game design, psychology, sociology, linguistics as well as many domain-specific areas.
Illustrating developments in electrochemical nanotechnology, heterogeneous catalysis, surface science and theoretical modelling, this reference describes the manipulation, characterization, control, and application of nanoparticles for enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity. It also offers experimental and synthetic strategies in nanoscale surface science. This standard-setting work clariefies several practical methods used to control the size, shape, crystal structure, and composition of nanoparticles; simulate metal-support interactions; predict nanoparticle behavior; enhance catalytic rates in gas phases; and examine catalytic functions on wet and dry surfaces.
An Introduction to Labor Law is a useful and course-tested primer that explains the basic principles of the federal law regulating the relationship of employers to labor unions. In this updated third edition, which features a new introduction, Michael Evan Gold discusses the law that applies to union organizing and representation elections, the duty to bargain in good faith, economic weapons such as strikes and lockouts, and the enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. Gold describes the structure and functions of the National Labor Relations Board and of the federal courts in regard to labor cases and also presents a number of legal issues presently in contention between labor and management.

This book develops a new framework for analyzing the spatio-temporal workings of law and other forms of governance. Chronotopes of Law argues that studies of law and governance can be reinvigorated by drawing on a bundle of quite heterogenous analytical tools that do not have a single provenance or a single political or normative aim but that work well in combination. Analyses of legal temporality carried out by anthropologists and studies of law and space undertaken by geographers and legal scholars have proliferated in recent years, but these research traditions have remained largely separate. By adapting notions such as intertextuality, dialogism, and the ‘chronotope’ from Mikhail Bak...
Abogadas, economistas, sociólogas y antropólogas analizan, en esta obra, el acceso de las mujeres al empleo, los castigos laborales frente a la maternidad, las diferencias salariales y la feminización de los trabajos. Mucho camello, poco empleo reúne diez investigaciones que estudian las condiciones laborales de la mujer-madre, la campesina, la ejecutiva, la cuidadora de la salud, la trabajadora del servicio doméstico, la que sobrevive a su pareja. Las conclu¬siones de estos textos son provocadoras, otras controversiales, e incluso algu¬nas podrían ser consideradas conservadoras. Al ser escritos por personas que provienen de distintas disciplinas y que asumen la comprensión de los fenóme¬nos desde distintos marcos teóricos y metodológicos, lo lógico es que se generen desacuerdos y tensiones entre ellos. Precisamente eso es lo que busca este libro. El objetivo es estimular el diálogo de tal forma que sea imposible pensar en agendas de investigación o políticas públicas que ignoren la variedad de enfoques necesarios para entender una realidad tan compleja como el trabajo de las mujeres.
A collaboration between some of the leading international experts in the field, AOCMF proudly presents Antiresorptive Drug-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ARONJ)-a Guide to Research, which unravels the many biologic processes and risk factors associated with this debilitating condition. With its unknown pathophysiology, lack of established management regimens, and because of the millions of patients currently taking antiresorptive agents, this important book on ARONJ has been produced to provide the latest in contemporary evidence and insight. The book's key features include: Detailed analysis of the historical definitions, classifications, and clinical features of ARONJ Review of the risk factors and treatment options currently available, and why the jaw bone is predominantly affected Discussion on the use of large and small animals in modelling. With dozens of clinical images to help illustrate the impact of this condition on real patients, Antiresorptive Drug-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ARONJ)-a Guide to Research is an excellent resource for anyone involved or interested in this important medical field.
