The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
Drawing upon the empirical scholarship and research expertise of contributors from all settled continents and from diverse life settings and economies, Viral Loads illustrates how the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses to it, lay bare and load onto people’s lived realities in countries around the world.

At the same time, the contributions highlight the nature of contemporary social life, including virtual communication, the nature of communit...

The species–area relationship (SAR) describes a range of related phenomena that are fundamental to the study of biogeography, macroecology and community ecology. While the subject of ongoing debate for a century, surprisingly, no previous book has focused specifically on the SAR. This volume addresses this shortfall by providing a synthesis of the development of SAR typologies and theory, as well as empirical research and application to biodiversity conservation problems. It also includes a compilation of recent advances in SAR research, comprising novel SAR-related theories and findings from the leading authors in the field. The chapters feature specific knowledge relating to terrestrial, marine and freshwater realms, ensuring a comprehensive volume relevant to a wide range of fields, with a mix of review and novel material and with clear recommendations for further research and application.
La posibilidad de inserción en el campo de los centros de alfabetización y educación básica para jóvenes y adultos constituye una experiencia formadora que permite comprender características específicas de la modalidad, en pos de la profesionalización y especialización docente requerida para la inserción en este contexto. A tal fin es relevante construir acuerdos intercátedra e interinstitucionales que hagan viables la posibilidad de inmersión y avistamiento de un intento, quizás, para inventar una gramática. Entre redes y convergencias: una experiencia de formación sociocultural permite pensar a la educación en clave de derecho humano y educativo. En el recorrido del libro se realiza el abordaje de una gramática, una articulación entre experiencias, existencias, sentires y pensares que cobija singularidades y pluralidades. Rostros, otredades y políticas que circunscriben, en este caso, los modos de enseñar en los CAEBA y los modos de aprender a enseñar en el ISPEL3.
This important reference textbook covers the surgical management of all major orthopaedic and traumatological conditions. The book will act as the major source of education and guidance in surgical practice for surgeons and trainees, especially those preparing for higher surgical examinations and the Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology examinations within and beyond Europe. The emphasis throughout is on the application of current knowledge and research to technical problems, how to avoid operative problems, and how to salvage complications if they occur.
