Periódico Tierra
"Este libro surge de la investigación titulada: “Periódico Tierra: análisis estético, gráfico e histórico de los discursos visuales que circularon en la prensa obrera colombiana entre 1928 y 1939”, proyecto que convocó a investigadores de la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano y de la Universidad Santo Tomás y que se enfocó en estudiar los fenómenos de producción, circulación y consumo de la publicación periódica Tierra, vigente en Colombia entre 1928 y 1939. Dichos fenómenos se articularon con el análisis de los discursos visuales que fueron creados para el periódico y que tienen una relación estrecha, tanto ideológica como política, con el Partido Comunista Co...
Critical Medical Anthropology
Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights.
Neuropsicología infantil
Si bien los avances en el desarrollo de la neuropsicología en Hispanoamérica son bastante significativos, se presentan algunos vacíos, especialmente en el campo de la neuropsicología infantil pues las pruebas existentes no han sido creadas para la población de habla hispana. Neuropsicología infantil pretende llenar esos vacíos e incluye además temas de actualidad; de la mano de sus editores Juan Carlos Arango-Lasprilla, Diego Rivera y Laiene Olabarrieta-Landa, tendremos una paronámica de los trastornos y alteraciones cognitivas en niños y adolescentes, los problemas de aprendizaje, discapacidad intelectual, y nociones básicas para la evaluación neuropsicológica infantil. Explica...
Artificial Intelligence, Computer and Software Engineering Advances
This book constitutes the proceedings of the XV Multidisciplinary International Congress on Science and Technology (CIT 2020), held in Quito, Ecuador, on 26–30 October 2020, proudly organized by Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE in collaboration with GDEON. CIT is an international event with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes the dissemination of advances in Science and Technology research through the presentation of keynote conferences. In CIT, theoretical, technical, or application works that are research products are presented to discuss and debate ideas, experiences, and challenges. Presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, the book discusses the following topics: Artificial Intelligence Computational Modeling Data Communications Defense Engineering Innovation, Technology, and Society Managing Technology & Sustained Innovation, and Business Development Modern Vehicle Technology Security and Cryptography Software Engineering
Routledge Handbook of Forest Ecology
The Routledge Handbook of Forest Ecology is an essential resource covering all aspects of forest ecology from a global perspective. This new edition has been fully revised and updated throughout to reflect the profound and unprecedented changes in both forests and climates since the publication of the first edition in 2015. The handbook reflects key developments in the field of forest dynamics and large-scale processes, as well as the changes that are now manifesting in different types of forests across the globe as a result of climate change. It covers both natural and managed forests, from boreal, temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. In this second edition, the breadt...
Doing Business in 2005
Doing Business in 2005: Obstacles to Growth is the second in a series of annual reports investigating the scope and manner of regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. New quantitative indicators on business regulations and their enforcement can be compared across more than 130 countries, and over time. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why. Topics in Doing Business in 2005 include: Licensing and Inspections: Having registered a business, now what? In most countries, firms face a myriad of sector specific licenses as well as inspections to enforce compliance. The Doing Business database construc...
Innovative Wastewater Treatment & Resource Recovery Technologies: Impacts on Energy, Economy and Environment
This book introduces the 3R concept applied to wastewater treatment and resource recovery under a double perspective. Firstly, it deals with innovative technologies leading to: Reducing energy requirements, space and impacts; Reusing water and sludge of sufficient quality; and Recovering resources such as energy, nutrients, metals and chemicals, including biopolymers. Besides targeting effective C,N&P removal, other issues such as organic micropollutants, gases and odours emissions are considered. Most of the technologies analysed have been tested at pilot- or at full-scale. Tools and methods for their Economic, Environmental, Legal and Social impact assessment are described. The 3R concept is also applied to Innovative Processes design, considering different levels of innovation: Retrofitting, where novel units are included in more conventional processes; Re-Thinking, which implies a substantial flowsheet modification; and Re-Imagining, with completely new conceptions. Tools are presented for Modelling, Optimising and Selecting the most suitable plant layout for each particular scenario from a holistic technical, economic and environmental point of view.
Designs for the Pluriverse
In Designs for the Pluriverse Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory and practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth. Noting that most design—from consumer goods and digital technologies to built environments—currently serves capitalist ends, Escobar argues for the development of an “autonomous design” that eschews commercial and modernizing aims in favor of more collaborative and placed-based approaches. Such design attends to questions of environment, experience, and politics while focusing on the production of human experience based on the radical interdependence of all beings. Mapping autonomous design’s principles to the history of decolonial efforts of indigenous and Afro-descended people in Latin America, Escobar shows how refiguring current design practices could lead to the creation of more just and sustainable social orders.
Pedagogía de las emociones
Esta investigación tuvo como propósito reconocer las emociones (des)vinculantes que han impactado los escenarios educativos en el marco del conflicto armado y la construcción de paz en el país. A través de un enfoque de investigación mixto o cualimétrico, se buscó analizar emociones relacionadas con modos de menosprecio derivados de los hechos bélicos, las cuales han deteriorado la calidad de vida de los sujetos y colectivos, y han quebrantado el tejido social en los territorios, lo que ha fracturado los vínculos de cooperación, confianza y solidaridad. Además, se sitúan emociones que, en el marco del actual proceso de posacuerdo, han fortalecido patrones de reconocimiento que c...
