Este libro ofrece una selección de textos sobre problemas éticos relacionados con la teoría e investigación en el campo social. Con esta compilación se busca promover un diálogo interdisciplinar entre ética y ciencias sociales animado por lo siguiente. Primero, que los comportamientos humanos en una comunidad se relacionan con valoraciones, juicios éticos y afectos que pueden ser comprendidos de mejor manera si tejemos una relación entre la ética y las teorías e investigaciones en el campo social. Segundo, que es necesario fomentar un debate profundo sobre la manera en que las teorías sociales intervienen en las valoraciones, juicios éticos y afectos que dan forma a una comunidad. Sobre cómo las aproximan, las narran y moldean. Sobre cómo hacerlo. Y tercero, que en perjuicio de lo anterior las reflexiones sobre la investigación en el campo social se han visto limitadas por el estudio de principios y normatividades del quehacer del investigador social, muchas veces asociadas tan solo a la necesidad de promover determinados códigos de ética.
The prevalence of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa is growing, and these disorders are affecting adolescents and young adults at increasingly younger ages. This has led to a greater number of patients presenting to health services. Although novel therapeutic approaches have been introduced in recent decades, the mortality rates of patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa remain alarmingly high. The course of anorexia nervosa in particular is often chronic and can lead to persistent disability. This book covers the clinical features and symptoms, neurobiology, pathophysiology, and current and potential future treatment options for both anorexia and bulimia nervosa. It also highlights the important aspects of support for families and their perspectives on these disorders.

Este libro pretende seguir las preocupaciones de los primeros ejercicios de reflexión sobre la pandemia. Nos hemos propuesto estimular un debate público, que sea informado y original, sobre la experiencia actual, dotándolo de ideas, argumentos y algunas problematizaciones poco divulgadas. Porque creemos en la necesidad de exponer dilemas y problematizar realidades que, desde diferentes disciplinas y sensibilidades, permitan comprender el profundo y complejo impacto que esta pandemia tiene y podrá tener sobre las condiciones materiales, pero también subjetivas, de muchas y muy diferentes personas a lo largo de nuestras sociedades. Y porque creemos también, dicho lo anterior, en la necesidad de ayudar a crear −e insistir sobre− nuevas visiones del mundo actual, siempre críticas, nunca ingenuas, pero necesarias y posibles [Juan José Fernández Dusso].

Archaeologists are increasingly aware of issues of gender when studying past societies; women are becoming better represented within the discipline and are attaining top academic posts. However, until now there has been no study undertaken of the history of women in European archaeology and their contribution to the development of the discipline.

The collection spans the earliest days of archaeology as a discipline to the present, telling the stories of w...
