"Por demasiado tiempo, para muchos de nosotros, sobre todo en Occidente, el mundo ha sido demasiado humano. Tenemos la necesidad de aprender de otros entornos basados en relaciones distintas a la división entre naturaleza y cultura, para así forjar imaginarios que nos ayuden en la tarea de estar compenetrados con el mundo” (Harriet Hawkins)
This is the first book to present the idea of using Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing in the microalgae industry for environmental biotechnology. It provides the latest developments on microalgae for use in environmental biotechnology, explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, and discusses the transition to smart manufacturing and how state of the art technologies can be incorporated. It covers applications, technologies, challenges, and future perspectives. • Showcases how Industry 4.0 can be applied in algae industry • Covers new ideas generated from Industry 4.0 for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) • Demonstrates new technologies invented to cater to Industry 4.0 in microalgae • Features worked examples related to biological systems Aimed at chemical engineers, bioengineers, and environmental engineers, this is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals in the microalgae biotechnology field.
Brian R. Hamnett offers a comprehensive and comparative assessment of the independence era in both Spanish America and Brazil.
At the request of the Ministry of Finance, a mission from the International Monetary Fund visited San Jose. The purpose of the mission was to assess the proposal to a universal basic pension and to estimate its fiscal and welfare impact on the budget, on pension schemes, and on old age income poverty. Costa Rica is entering a demographic transition which will see the old age dependency ratios significantly worsen in the coming 20 years. The long-term financial sustainability of the general social security pension scheme (IVM) is a concern, despite various reforms introduced over the past three decades and the scheme’s reserves are expected to be exhausted by the mid-2030s. The government...
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs, which have recently garnered notable attention from both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are founded on the principle of applying a graph-based abstraction to data, and are now broadly deployed in scenarios that require integrating and extracting value from multiple, diverse sources of data at large scale. The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced ...
Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...
El presente libro es fruto del trabajo realizado en el seminario de investigación Historia de la Educación Física y los Deportes en México, que desde 2017 inició sus actividades en el Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. José María Luis Mora. En los nueve capítulos que integran este volumen, se abarca una temporalidad que va del porfiriato a la conclusión del llamado "milagro mexicano". Como su título lo indica, fue nuestra intención presentar una serie de ensayos sobre los temas que trabajamos en las sesiones del seminario, en el cual partimos de una común preocupación historiográfica: mostrar al público general la viabilidad, pertinencia y valía de la historia de la educación física y los deportes en México. Así, esta obra tiene como objetivo fundamental mostrar a la historia de la educación física y los deportes como uno de los medio posibles –tan valioso como la política, las ideas, las mentalidades, la economía, etcétera– para explicar la sociedad mexicana en el tiempo.
