This book is a call to expand and diversify our approach to the study of the human mind in relation to the Theory of Mind. It proposes that it is necessary to combine cross-disciplinary methods to arrive at a more complete understanding of how our minds work. Seeking to expand the discussion surrounding the Theory of Mind beyond the field of psychology, and its focus on our capacity to ascribe mental states to other people, this volume collects evidence and research to point to a more holistic understanding of our own minds, the minds of others, behavior, language, and reasoning. This book therefore illuminates the conceptual intricacy underlying the Theory of Mind. It posits that a wide scope is necessary to make a breakthrough in scientific research towards a full understanding of the nature, function, and development of our capacity to converge on biological processes of the brain towards consciousness, emotion, awareness, and cognition. The volume presents methods, results, critiques, and models intended to provoke debates in various academic disciplines. It is of interest to scholars working in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence.
La historia de los métodos de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras evidencia una evolución constante desde principios del siglo XX hasta nuestros días. De teorías del aprendizaje conductistas y fundamentadas en el estructuralismo se evolucionó a un paradigma de enfoque comunicativo y basado en la teoría constructivista del conocimiento. El cambio de siglo puso en valor la aplicación de recursos metodológicos nuevos hasta con-figurar un entorno de aprendizaje en el que destaca sobre todo la aplica-ción de metodologías activas para desarrollar la competencia comunica-tiva en el hablante.
Son tales las transformaciones introducidas por los estudios de género que muchos aspectos del orden social se han visto afectados. Por un lado, han supuesto toda una revolución que nos ha conducido al cuestionamiento de muchos de los relatos culturales y científicos que nos construyen como sujetos. Hemos asistido a la descomposición de las grandes meta-narrativas de la modernidad y no podemos más que ver estas transformaciones sociales como los vestigios de una reunión totalizante incapaz de explicar la relación del sujeto con su entorno, incapaz de dotar de sentido y organicidad a cada una de las partes que constituyen una superestructura intelectual que pareciera hacerse añicos. P...
Este es el contexto en el que se encuentra la humanidad en 2020. La Covid-19 es un problema de salud pública agravado por la interconexión entre naciones que requiere de planteamientos y soluciones que impliquen a todos los países. Sin un verdadero multilateralismo, no se encontrarán soluciones duraderas a la pandemia. Algo similar ocurre con los siete desafíos actuales identificados por el Secretario General. Aunque éstos tengan impactos locales, es necesaria una visión global para poder afrontarlos. Este dilema del equilibrio entre lo nacional y lo internacional forma parte de un debate más amplio sobre los derechos humanos ante los nuevos desafíos de la globalización; debate al ...

In Clinical Bioinformatics, Second Edition, leading experts in the field provide a series of articles focusing on software applications used to translate information into outcomes of clinical relevance. Recent developments in omics, such as increasingly sophisticated analytic platforms allowing changes in diagnostic strategies from the traditional focus on single or small number of analytes to what might be possible when large numbers or all analytes are measured, are now impacting patient care. Covering such topics as gene discovery, gene function (microarrays), DNA sequencing, online approaches and resources, and informatics in clinical practice, this volume concisely yet thoroughly explores this cutting-edge subject. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Clinical Bioinformatics, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for scientists and health professionals working in genetics and genomics.
Sleep and Health provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of the relationship between sleep and health at the individual, community and population levels, as well as a discussion of the implications for public health, public policy and interventions. Based on a firm foundation in many areas of sleep health research, this text further provides introductions to each sub-area of the field and a summary of the current research for each area. This book serves as a resource for those interested in learning about the growing field of sleep health research, including sections on social determinants, cardiovascular disease, cognitive functioning, health behavior theory, smoking, and more. - Highlights the important role of sleep across a wide range of topic areas - Addresses important topics such as sleep disparities, sleep and cardiometabolic disease risk, real-world effects of sleep deprivation, and public policy implications of poor sleep - Contains accessible reviews that point to relevant literature in often-overlooked areas, serving as a helpful guide to all relevant information on this broad topic area

This unique book will provide readers with an understanding of innovative models of delivering both primary and secondary eye care, focusing not just on providing quality care itself, but on best practices to provide and strengthen comprehensive eye care services. A wide variety of conditions will be addressed in Innovative Approaches in the Delivery of Primary and Secondary Eye Care, including childhood blindness, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration, and refractive errors. Detailed descriptions of various models are presented for each condition, which are then followed by a discussion for incorporating integrated eye care services; highlighting the importance of...
The relatively new technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) is an important tool to prepare samples both in the lab and on-site. SPME is a "green" technology because it eliminates organic solvents from analytical laboratory and can be used in environmental, food and fragrance, and forensic and drug analysis. This handbook offers a thorough background of the theory and practical implementation of SPME. SPME protocols are presented outlining each stage of the method and providing useful tips and potential pitfalls. In addition, devices and fiber coatings, automated SPME systems, SPME method development, and In Vivo applications are discussed. This handbook is essential for its discussion of the latest SPME developments as well as its in depth information on the history, theory, and practical application of the method. - Practical application of Solid Phase Microextraction methods including detailed steps - Provides history of extraction methods to better understand the process - Suitable for all levels, from beginning student to experienced practitioner
