Peace and Conflict: Europe and Beyond
Peace and Conflict Studies is an increasingly observed discipline, as researchers seek to investigate complex issues and to aid in the building of knowledge which can be used towards transforming conflict. Analyzing case studies from Europe and beyond, this edited volume seeks to provide theoretical tools and alternative approaches for examining the root causes of violence, and to extrapolate possibilities for transcending peace through conflict transformation. The reader is presented with specific case studies from the Middle East, South Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean rim and South America. What differentiates this work is that more than just analyzing the conflicts, contributors offer e...
El enfoque de la Investigación Acción Participativa (IAP) en el estudio de las problemáticas regionales
La Universidad de Ibagué está comprometida con el desarrollo regional. Ese es su lema fundamental. En la medida en que la región enfrenta problemáticas cada vez más complejas, honrar este compromiso demanda de la universidad, entre otras cosas, comenzar a cambiar radicalmente sus formas de producción de conocimiento y, por ende, los enfoques para investigar, comprender y ayudar a resolver dichas problemáticas. Este libro expone el trabajo de investigadores de la universidad (en algunos casos, en alianza con investigadores de otras universidades e instituciones) que han abordado mediante la IAP unas facetas problemáticas de nuestra región.
Paces desde abajo
Las paces construidas desde los territorios son resultado de la interacción entre los procesos de reconocimiento/alineamiento estatal, de la presencia de los actores violentos y de las dinámicas de autonomía local. Los capítulos que componen este libro amplían, profundizan y problematizan estos ejes. Cada capítulo aborda y ofrece un panorama muy rico de los modos como se construyen las paces locales. Con especial énfasis en el departamento del Tolima, este libro pretende contribuir a crear una narrativa frente a los discursos dominantes de la paz en Colombia y analiza los diversos modos en que las comunidades locales vienen creando otras concepciones y prácticas de paz. El recorrido ...
Tetraspanins
Tetraspanin proteins have recently emerged as a new class of modulators of various processes involving cell surface receptors, including cell migration and invasion, host immune responses, cell-cell fusion, and viral infection. The book summarises recent advances in the fields of biology in which the role of tetraspanins have been established and also covers the molecular evolution of the tetraspanin superfamily and structural aspects of the organisation of tetraspanin microdomains.
Underground Protestantism in Sixteenth Century Spain
Frances Luttikhuizen chronicles the arrival, reception, and suppression of Protestant thought in sixteenth century Spain—referred to at that time as 'Lutheranism'. It opens with several chapters describing the socio-political-religious context that prevailed in Spain at the beginning of the sixteenth century and the growing trend to use the vernacular for parts of the Mass, as well as for catechizing the populace. Special attention is given to the forerunners, that is, the early alumbrado-deixados, the role of Cardinal Cisneros, and the impact of Erasmus and Juan de Valdes, etc. The use of archival material provides new details regarding the historical framework and the spread of evangelic...
Constantino de la Fuente (San Clemente, 1502–Seville, 1560)
During the first half of the sixteenth century the Spanish Inquisition fought "Lutheranism" in a benign way, but as time passed the power struggle between those that favoured reform and the detractors intensified, until persecution became relentless under the mandate of Inquisitor General Fernando de Valdés. The power struggle did not catch Constantino by surprise, but the tables turned faster than he had expected. On 1 August 1558 Constantino preached his last sermon in the cathedral of Seville; fifteen days later he was imprisoned. Constantino's evangelising zeal is evident in all his works, but the core of his theology can be found in Beatus Vir, where he deals with the doctrines of sin and pardon, free grace, providence, predestination, and the relationship between faith and works. In his exposition of Psalm 1, Constantino does not resort to human philosophies but associates the spiritual fall of humanity with ugliness. In his exhortation to the reader, he states: "we shall plainly see the repulsiveness of that which seems so good in the eyes of insane men, and the beauty and greatness of that which the Divine Word has promised and assured those who turn to its counsel."
Aromatic and Medicinal Plants
This book covers interesting research topics and the use of natural resources for medical treatments in some severe diseases. The most important message is to have native foods which contain high amount of active compounds that can be used as a medicinal plant. Most pharmaceutical drugs were discovered from plants, and still ongoing research will have to predict such new active compounds as anti-diseases. I do believe this book will add significant knowledge to medical societies as well as can be used for postgraduate students.
Las prácticas de la resolución de conflictos en América Latina
Nuestra reflexión acerca de las prácticas de la resolución de conflictos en América Latina presupone que los conflictos son solucionables por la vía pacífica. Pese al alto contenido académico que contiene esta obra, cierto es también que este libro trasciende el ámbito de la investigación, proyectándose al campo de la resolución de conflictos específicamente en una región de creciente importancia estratégica para la economía mundial.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
