Análisis de correspondencia de la competencia lingüística en el logro de la competencia traductora. Caso: Facultad de Idiomas Tijuana, UABC
En esta obra, se plantea la evaluación del impacto que ejerce la competencia lingüística en el logro de la competencia traductora mediante el análisis de los resultados de la aplicación de dos instrumentos de evaluación a estudiantes de la licenciatura en Traducción de la Facultad de Idiomas, UABC, Campus Tijuana, bajo un enfoque cuantitativo. Es así como se señalan las hipótesis planteadas usando magnitudes numéricas que se procesan con la utilización de herramientas estadísticas. Se analiza minuciosamente la forma en que los estudiantes cumplen con el nivel de idioma extranjero requerido para llevar a cabo una buena traducción. No obstante, la traducción a la lengua meta no resultó como se esperaba. ¿Necesitan más práctica en el ejercicio de la traducción o enfrentan problemas en su propio idioma?

Docentes-investigadoras e investigadores comprometidos con el desarrollo de competencias de comunicación para colaborar al avance social que respondieron al llamado para esta publicación. Sus textos se entretejen en este volumen dedicado a recuperar experiencias, aportaciones y reflexiones que sumen a la sinergia necesaria para desarrollar el campo disciplinar.
Hormones, Metabolism and the Benefits of Exercise
The world is faced with an epidemic of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. This is due to changes in dietary habits and the decrease in physical activity. Exercise is usually part of the prescription, the first line of defense, to prevent or treat metabolic disorders. However, we are still learning how and why exercise provides metabolic benefits in human health. This open access volume focuses on the cellular and molecular pathways that link exercise, muscle biology, hormones and metabolism. This will include novel “myokines” that might act as new therapeutic agents in the future.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
The Artistry of Afro-Cuban Batá Drumming
An iconic symbol and sound of the Lucumí/Santería religion, Afro-Cuban batá are talking drums that express the epic mythological narratives of the West African Yoruba deities known as orisha. By imitating aspects of speech and song, and by metaphorically referencing salient attributes of the deities, batá drummers facilitate the communal praising of orisha in a music ritual known as a toque de santo. In The Artistry of Afro-Cuban Batá Drumming, Kenneth Schweitzer blends musical transcription, musical analysis, interviews, ethnographic descriptions, and observations from his own experience as a ritual drummer to highlight the complex variables at work during a live Lucumí performance.

Joe Cambria
One of the most prolific scouts in baseball history, Joe Cambria almost single-handedly saved the Washington Senators from ruin. Signing a stream of young players from Cuba--as many as 20 per season for three decades--he fed the team affordable talent and kept them competitive during World War II, when many front-liners went to the front lines. Cambria subverted baseball's color line years before Jackie Robinson broke it, signing light-skinned Cubans--many of African descent--who could pass in the all-white Major Leagues. This first ever biography traces his memorable career, including the shady hiring practices and flamboyant deals that drew rulings from the bench of Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
The Book of Salsa
Rondón tells the engaging story of salsa's roots in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, and of its emergence and development in the 1960s as a distinct musical movement in New York. Rondón presents salsa as a truly pan-Caribbean phenomenon, emerging in the migrations and interactions, the celebrations and conflicts that marked the region. Although salsa is rooted in urban culture, Rondón explains, it is also a commercial product produced and shaped by professional musicians, record producers, and the music industry. --from publisher description.
