Las innovaciones en la universidad son un objetivo legítimo y necesario, pero controvertido. Los cambios estructurales económicos, políticos y socioculturales se materializan en nuevos retos para una institución que tiene que responder a los retos inherentes a esos cambios y que, con matices diferentes, conforman una polifonía de temas que necesitamos abordar. Este libro quiere mostrar, en la diversidad de temáticas y prácticas que la conforman, esa polifonía diversa, incómoda, a veces, que nos cuestiona e impulsa a experimentar otros caminos.
The aim of this book is to provide a synthesis of the newest research in Geography concerning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). Although the world is strongly interconnected, the majority of the chapters in this volume focus on Europe or the work of European researchers. Each chapter of this book focusses on one of the 17 SDG’s providing in-depth knowledge from a geographical perspective, fostering comprehensive research on these global targets to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change. The Sustainable Development Goals are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To achieve them, it will be necessary for all stakeholders, including citizens (civil society, doctors, teachers), governments, private sector to collaborate.
Los nuevos escenarios por los que estamos transitando a nivel planetario demandan un papel más activo de la educación. Esto requiere robustecer la profesión docente «entre lo que es y lo que debería ser, entre lo que hemos hecho y lo que se podría hacer». Necesitamos saberes que revitalicen la educación como un proyecto integrador, poner en valor lo que otros han pensado y hecho para proyectarnos al futuro de otro modo y reinventar nuevas respuestas y acciones. A través de este libro se apuntan algunas claves con las que reformular tanto la formación inicial como permanente del profesorado para la construcción del oficio de «ser profesor como una forma de vivir y de hacer» en un mundo que siempre nos compromete, junto a otros, en el ecosistema del aula como un espacio abierto y compartido.
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of saline and alkaline soils in Latin America, known for having one of the most extensive surface of salt-affected soils in the world. It is organized along two main axes: soils and vegetation. The book discusses the occurrence of such soils in the region, focusing mainly in management strategies for their sustainable use, and it presents accounts of natural vegetation and crops in the various environments of the region. Social impacts of such conditions and ongoing projects to overcome them are considered. Likewise, the book highlights physiological mechanisms that are responsible for the negative effects these soils exert on crops and forest resources and determine vegetation distribution in them. Plant breeding challenges and new perspectives for such environments are discussed. Technologies such as irrigation and drainage are included. The readership includes soil and plant scientists, as well as policy makers.

This book covers the topic of microplastics in water and wastewater. The chapters start with introductory issues related to the growing interest in the scientific community on microplastics and the human water cycle and point out where the microplastics could interact with water. The subsequent chapters examine evidence of the microplastic presence in freshwater, such as in both rivers and lakes, in freshwater biota, and hazardous chemicals associated with microplastics in such systems. Another set of chapters discuss the presence of microplastics in wastewater: their sources; their transfer through a wastewater treatment plant; the concentration of microplastics in effluents throughout the ...

Este libro es resultado del trabajo colaborativo de varios de los profesores y los estudiantes que participaron del seminario del Doctorado en Derecho de la Universidad del Rosario, llevado a cabo en 2022, cuyas reflexiones académicas gravitaron sobre cuestiones contemporáneas que están redefiniendo los alcances de una categoría clásica en el orden jurídico como es la obligación de resarcimiento de las consecuencias dañinas ocasionadas a los derechos o intereses de terceros por una conducta imputable a un sujeto plenamente capaz o realizada por un agente suyo por cuya ocurrencia tenga el deber jurídico de responder. Esta obra integra contribuciones que plantean estos temas novedosos desde las ópticas del derecho civil, el derecho penal, el derecho laboral, el derecho administrativo y el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, tanto desde una relectura de los paradigmas clásicos de determinación de los elementos estructuradores de la responsabilidad como desde una aproximación desde perspectivas más recientes en la materia, como la influencia de los sistemas internacionales de protección de derechos en los regímenes internos para su establecimiento.
Measuring innovation in education and understanding how it works is essential to improve the quality of the education sector. Monitoring systematically how pedagogical practices evolve would considerably increase the international education knowledge base. We need to examine whether, and how ...
This handbook provides the first systematic integrated analysis of the role that states or state actors play in the construction of history and public memory after 1945. The book focuses on many different forms of state-sponsored history, including memory laws, monuments and memorials, state-archives, science policies, history in schools, truth commissions, historical expert commissions, the use of history in courts and tribunals etc. The handbook contributes to the study of history and public memory by combining elements of state-focused research in separate fields of study. By looking at the state’s memorialising capacities the book introduces an analytical perspective that is not often found in classical studies of the state. The handbook has a broad geographical focus and analyses cases from different regions around the world. The volume mainly tackles democratic contexts, although dictatorial regimes are not excluded.
