Alineación de prótesis y parámetros biomecánicos en pacientes amputados trastibiliales
En este libro se presentan los resultados de un estudio descriptivo transversal con componente observacional para la medición de variables anatómicas en sujetos amputados transtibiales a causa de trauma por minas antipersona y usuarios de prótesis. Mediante esta investigación se identificaron parámetros cinéticos y cinemáticos, tanto en posición estática como en posición dinámica, y se evidenció el efecto en la bipedestación y la marcha producido por variaciones en la alineación estática, reflejando aspectos que no son considerados en la adaptación de la prótesis dado las pocas tecnologías para este tipo de procedimientos y que parecen despreciables en la técnica de alineación, pero que resultan relevantes a mediano y largo plazo.
Universidad y desarrollo regional. Aportes del Cider en sus 40 años.
Prólogo El Cider en sus cuarenta años: testimonio de un pasado con futuro Me sorprendió y me halagó el que los profesores Javier Pineda Duque y Bert Helmsing me invitaran a escribir algunas reflexiones sobre el Cider, con ocasión de la publicación de documentos que relatan su evolución en cuatro décadas, por algunos de quienes tienen el justo reconocimiento de haber sido protagonistas de su historia o continúan relacionados con su construcción. Mi vinculación con esta realización ha sido marginal. Ocurrió durante la expansión de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de los Andes. En 1966, el Gobierno de los Países Bajos aceptó la propuesta de la Facultad de apoyarla en...
Political and Legal Perspectives of the EU Eastern Partnership Policy
This book examines EU Eastern Partnership taking into account geopolitical challenges of EU integration. It highlights reasons for limited success, such as systematic conflict of EU External Action. In addition, the book analyses country-specific issues and discusses EaP influence on them, investigating political, economic and social factors, while seeking for potential solutions to existing problems. The reluctance of the Eastern countries to the European reforms should not reduce political pro-activeness of the EU. The authors suggest that EaP strategies should be reviewed to be more reciprocal and not based solely on the EU-laden agenda. This book is one of the good examples of cooperation between scholars not only from EaP and EU countries, but also from different disciplines, bringing diversity to the discussion process.

Managing Chronicity in Unequal States
By portraying the circumstances of people living with chronic conditions in radically different contexts, from Alzheimer’s patients in the UK to homeless people with psychiatric disorders in India, Managing Chronicity in Unequal States offers glimpses of what dealing with medically complex conditions in stratified societies means. While in some places the state regulates and intrudes on the most intimate aspects of chronic living, in others it is utterly and criminally absent. Either way, it is a present/absent actor that deeply conditions people’s opportunities and strategies of care. This book explores how individuals, groups and communities navigate uncertain and unequal healthcare sy...
Self Portrait in Green
'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.
Engaging Contradictions
Scholars in many fields increasingly find themselves caught between the academy, with its demands for rigor and objectivity, and direct engagement in social activism. Some advocate on behalf of the communities they study; others incorporate the knowledge and leadership of their informants directly into the process of knowledge production. What ethical, political, and practical tensions arise in the course of such work? In this wide-ranging and multidisciplinary volume, leading scholar-activists map the terrain on which political engagement and academic rigor meet. Contributors: Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Edmund T. Gordon, Davydd Greenwood, Joy James, Peter Nien-chu Kiang, George Lipsitz, Samuel Martínez, Jennifer Bickham Mendez, Dani Nabudere, Jessica Gordon Nembhard, Jemima Pierre, Laura Pulido, Shannon Speed, Shirley Suet-ling Tang, João Vargas
