Gratitude and Palliative Care
Gratitude is a natural part of life, especially when appreciating what another has done. We have all felt and perceived gratitude at times, even in situations of serious and advanced illness. Surprisingly, gratitude for life persist at the end of life. This book focuses on profound gratitude in palliative care. It explores what gratitude is in this context, who expresses it, how it happens, its impact, and the influence of culture. The book emerges from a collaboration between clinicians and philosophers, blending clinical experiences and reflections to reveal gratitude in relationships between seriously ill patients and health professionals. It examines key aspects such as the concept and reason for gratitude, and its transformative power for patients, families, and professionals amidst vulnerability due to serious illness.

Temas actuales de investigación en ciencias penales
La investigación nos aporta el conocimiento que precisamos para establecer el contacto con la realidad a fin de mejorarla. Y la investigación penal, además, se siente necesaria cuando los cambios sociales urgen de respuestas no improvisadas sino meditadas y sometidas al análisis que propicia toda investigación. Éste ha sido el sentido del Primer Congreso Internacional de Jóvenes Investigadores en Ciencias Penales, contribuir al debate, revisar y analizar propuestas, precisamente, por y con quienes comprometen la labor investigadora por antonomasia, esto es, la relativa a la elaboración de sus Tesis Doctorales en el ámbito de las ciencias penales. Así, los días 26, 27 y 28 del pasado mes de octubre de 2009, el viejo estudio salmantino se nutrió con la frescura de unas inestimables reflexiones, protagonizadas por un excelente grupo de jóvenes investigadores que acudieron a esta cita universitaria que tiene vocación de continuidad.
Política criminal de enfrentamento da macrocriminalidade
Ao explicitar a agenda da política pública dirigida ao enfrentamento da macrocriminalidade, Octahydes extrai a projeção normativa presente no Direito brasileiro das Convenções de Viena, de Mérida e de Palermo, cada qual com seus reflexos e (esperados) resultados internos. A abordagem dirige-se, pois, à política criminal irradiada desses compromissos assumidos pelo Estado brasileiro na seara internacional. Seguidamente, a pesquisa distingue temas que comumente são confundidos no momento de se pensar alternativas para seu enfrentamento: como se apresentam os vetores da política brasileira de enfrentamento de cada um desses componentes da macrocriminalidade e como esses vetores se relacionam tanto com o contexto sociopolítico quanto com a ausência de presença estatal em espaços de crise emergencial (como os presídios brasileiros)?
El comiso autónomo y la extinción de dominio en la lucha contra la corrupción
"Los autores del libro, a través de una revisión pormenorizada de los principales instrumentos internacionales suscritos en la lucha contra la corrupción y el marco jurídico-teórico internacional, abordan dos mecanismos heterodoxos frente al clásico modelo garantista como es el comiso autónomo (Decomiso) o también denominado "sin condena" y la variante originaria latinoamericana que lleva por título "extinción de dominio". En esta edición autocalificada como "iberoamericana", se introduce aspectos sobre la evaluación de la primera década en la Ley Modelo sobre Extinción de Dominio, propuesta en 2011 por la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra las Drogas y Delincuencia Organiza...
Governance Strategies for Effective Sustainable Development
Good governance is an ongoing challenge for sustainable development in today's world. The current paradigm of neoliberal restructuring has dominated development governance, often disregarding alternative methods. To address this gap, Governance Strategies for Effective Sustainable Development explores governance's multidimensional nature, offering insights into diverse perspectives on institutional roles in development and the underlying reasons for variations in governance mechanisms across countries. This work aims to provide a roadmap for creating effective, accountable, and transparent institutions, as outlined in SDG16, by examining the need for institutional changes at local, national,...
