Salud pública y teoría cuántica
Las ciencias sociales y humanas, al igual que las ciencias de la salud –incluida la medicina–, son, a la fecha, precuánticas. Si les va bien, en el mejor de los casos, son relativistas, en el sentido de la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein. Es imposible entender el mundo de hoy, la realidad y la naturaleza sin un conocimiento básico de la teoría cuántica. Este libro busca llenar un vacío en una triple dirección: tender puentes entre la física cuántica y las ciencias sociales, tenderlos entre la teoría cuántica y las ciencias de la salud, y pensar, al mismo tiempo, la salud (no ya la enfermedad). El marco genérico es el contexto de las relaciones entre la salud y las ciencias de la complejidad. Una idea de base: la salud no es única –ni principalmente– un problema antropológico, antropomórfico o antropocéntrico.
Modelamiento basado en agentes (MBA) en estudio de salud pública
Los temas y problemas de salud pública demandan, dada la complejidad creciente del mundo, nuevos métodos y aproximaciones. Este libro ofrece una aproximación a la relación entre la salud pública y las herramientas de la teoría de la complejidad como el modelamiento y la simulación. Por consiguiente, se trata de una comprensión de la salud en el marco de las ciencias de la complejidad. El modelamiento basado en agentes (MBA) consiste en una exploración de tesis y de problemas en términos del trabajo con posibilidades, antes que en términos simplemente estadísticos y de tendencias. El lenguaje de programación adoptado en los trabajos que componen este libro se concentran en Netlogo(R).
Of Love and Papers
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Of Love and Papers explores how immigration policies are fundamentally reshaping Latino families. Drawing on two waves of interviews with undocumented young adults, Enriquez investigates how immigration status creeps into the most personal aspects of everyday life, intersecting with gender to constrain family formation. The imprint of illegality remains, even upon obtaining DACA or permanent residency. Interweaving the perspectives of US citizen romantic partners and children, Enriquez illustrates the multigenerational punishment that limits the upward mobility of Latino families. Of Love and Papers sparks an intimate understanding of contemporary US immigration policies and their enduring consequences for immigrant families.

World Development Report 2016
Digital technologies are spreading rapidly, but digital dividends--the broader benefits of faster growth, more jobs, and better services--are not. If more than 40 percent of adults in East Africa pay their utility bills using a mobile phone, why can’t others around the world do the same? If 8 million entrepreneurs in China--one third of them women--can use an e-commerce platform to export goods to 120 countries, why can’t entrepreneurs elsewhere achieve the same global reach? And if India can provide unique digital identification to 1 billion people in five years, and thereby reduce corruption by billions of dollars, why can’t other countries replicate its success? Indeed, what’s hol...
Forgotten Conquests
Borrowing from the old adage, we might say that to the victor belongs the history. One of the privileges gained in colonizing the New World was the power to tell the definitive stories of the struggle. The heroic texts depicting the discovery of territories, early encounters with indigenous peoples, and the ultimate subjection of land and cultures to European nation-states all but erase the vanquished. In Forgotten Conquests, Gustavo Verdesio argues that these master narratives represent only one of many possible histories and suggests a way of reading them in order to discover the colonial subjects who did not produce documents. Verdesio read the key texts relating to the struggles for poss...
Mud Sweeter than Honey
"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Mud Sweeter Than Honey goes a very long way indeed towards putting that right" New European After breaking ties with Yugoslavia, the USSR and then China, Enver Hoxha believed ...
