La rápida adopción de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, en todos los entornos sociales, ha comportado que las interacciones entre grupos dejen de circunscribirse en un espacio y tiempo determinados para tener lugar en cualquier parte y a cualquier hora. Presenta, pues, este libro una selección de casos que ilustran el uso de la red en contextos de interacción grupal. Veremos en ellos, por ejemplo, cómo la red permite poner en contacto a familiares de niños y niñas con enfermedades crónicas; veremos compartir experiencias y formación en una administración pública; o a una madre de un bebé en lactancia participando cómodamente desde su casa en un pleno del ayuntamiento junto con otros ciudadanos. Se trata de un libro que invita a trasponer a nuestro propio caso la experiencia de quienes nos precedieron en el arte de la acción comunitaria.
Achtzehn Jahre nach Erscheinen der 1. Ausgabe des LEXIKONS DER EXLIBRISKÜNSTLER war es an der Zeit nach der 2., 3. und 4. Auflage, die von den Bibliotheken und den Sammlern gut aufgenommen wurden, eine 5. Ausgabe des Lexikons folgen zu lassen. Es entspricht einem Bedürfnis des ernsthaften Sammlers, stets auf der Höhe der Zeit zu sein. In diesem Sinne hoffe ich, ihm, dem Sammler, ein Hilfsmittel an die Hand zu geben, das seine Wünsche zumindest teilweise befriedigt. Bei all meinen Recherchen zeigte sich immer wieder, dass viele Lebensdaten der Exlibris-Schaffenden unvollständig oder gar falsch sind oder sich widersprechen. All diese Daten wurden in das Lexikon so gut es eben ging eingear...
This comprehensive Handbook provides a synthesis of current work and research in media management and economics. The volume has been developed around two primary objectives: assessing the state of knowledge for the key topics in the media management and economics fields; and establishing the research agenda in these areas, ultimately pushing the field in new directions. The Handbook's chapters are organized into parts addressing the theoretical components, key issues, analytical tools, and future directions for research. Each chapter offers the current state of theory and scholarship of a specific area of study, and the volume contributors--all well established in their areas of specialty--r...
First published as a special issue of the journal Medieval Encounters (vol. 23, 2017), this volume, edited by Josefina Rodríguez-Arribas, Charles Burnett, Silke Ackermann, and Ryan Szpiech, brings together fifteen studies on various aspects of the astrolabe in medieval cultures. The astrolabe, developed in antiquity and elaborated throughout the Middle Ages, was used for calculation, teaching, and observation, and also served astrological and medical purposes. It was the most popular and prestigious of the mathematical instruments, and was found equally among practitioners of various sciences and arts as among princes in royal courts. By considering sources and instruments from Muslim, Christian, and Jewish contexts, this volume provides state-of-the-art research on the history and use of the astrolabe throughout the Middle Ages. Contributors are Silke Ackermann, Emilia Calvo, John Davis, Laura Fernández Fernández, Miquel Forcada, Azucena Hernández, David A. King, Taro Mimura, Günther Oestmann, Josefina Rodríguez-Arribas, Sreeramula Rajeswara Sarma, Petra G. Schmidl, Giorgio Strano, Flora Vafea, and Johannes Thomann.
Describes how patterns of information, knowledge, and cultural production are changing. The author shows that the way information and knowledge are made available can either limit or enlarge the ways people create and express themselves. He describes the range of legal and policy choices that confront.
Diabetes has become a worldwide health problem, the global estimated prevalence approaches ten percent and the burden of this disease in terms of morbidity and mortality is unprecedented. The advances acquired through the knowledge of the mechanisms of the disease and the variety of therapeutic approaches contrast with the inability of private and public health systems in underdeveloped and even developed countries to achieve the goals of treatment. This paradox has been described in many sources: the surge of scientific advances contrast with an unprecedented amount of human suffering. Thus, a patient centered and an evidence based approach with the capacity to produce measurable clinical a...
This book explores the potential creation of a broader collaborative economy through commons-based peer production (P2P) and the emergent role of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The book seeks to critically engage in the political discussion of commons-based peer production, which can be classified into three basic arguments: the liberal, the reformist and the anti-capitalist. This book categorises the liberal argument as being in favour of the coexistence of the commons with the market and the state. Reformists, on the other hand, advocate for the gradual adjustment of the state and of capitalism to the commons, while anti-capitalists situate the commons against capitalis...
