Los usos múltiples del agua son un concepto asociado al acceso al agua por parte de las familias campesinas de las zonas rurales tanto para sus actividades humanas como productivas de subsistencia desde sistemas de abastecimiento domésticos. Esta tendencia implica que los sistemas incluyan en sus dotaciones de agua la cantidad suficiente para que la gente realice sus actividades productivas de subsistencia considerando el uso de diversos tipos de fuentes de agua y la conservación del agua dentro del ciclo antrópico la mayor cantidad de tiempo y usos posibles. En Colombia, la normatividad separa los sectores doméstico y agropecuario, por lo que las actividades productivas de subsistencia...
Actualmente, los recursos se ejecutan a través de proyectos que deben estar armonizados con los planes y programas a nivel territorial, que tienen ahora los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) en la mira. Se espera que los proyectos de desarrollo permitan la participación de los distintos actores involucrados con el problema que se desea resolver y de las instituciones y organizaciones que apoyan la solución de ese tipo de problemas. Igualmente, los proyectos deben ser sostenibles social, económica y ambientalmente, y respetar los ecosistemas naturales. Deben promover el enfoque de género que incluye tanto a los hombres como a las mujeres y el enfoque de pobreza que permite a los m...
El Uso Múltiple del Agua se propone en el marco del concepto de Gestión Integrada de Recursos Hídricos como una estrategia que contribuirá a la reducción de la pobreza y la inequidad. El libro recoge resultados de investigaciones que incluyen casos de estudio, propuestas tecnológicas y administrativas para sistemas de abastecimiento de uso múltiple y aplicaciones a escala real. Las investigaciones continúan en aspectos como la tecnología de mejoramiento de calidad del agua para el riego, la aplicación de la producción más limpia a nivel de vivienda y asentamiento humano y el desarrollo tecnológico para MiPymes.
Este libro presenta lineamientos para el diseño de sistemas de abastecimiento rurales que apliquen el concepto de usos múltiples del agua. Además de lineamientos técnicos, incluye lineamientos para la administración, operación y mantenimiento de tales sistemas. Su estructura se basa en los principios que deben cumplir los sistemas de uso múltiple, buscando un servicio de agua sostenible, que satisfaga las distintas necesidades de la familia rural.
"Human tissue and biobank research is of increasing importance for understanding the causes of widespread diseases and developing effective therapies. However, while the success of biobank research depends on the availability of a large number of samples and the consolidation of collections across country borders is very desirable from the perspective of researchers, the legal and ethical requirements for the procurement, storage and use of human tissue samples are rather heterogeneous across different countries. Moreover, the lack of comprehensive supranational regulation on human tissue and biobanking can be seen as posing a serious threat to transnational biomedical research. Against this...
This volume includes all the abstracts of the keynotes, oral contributions and posters presented by participants on the occasion of the Forum on Fisheries Science in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (Fish Forum 2018). Organized by the GFCM at FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy, from 10 to 14 December 2018, in collaboration with technical partners, the Fish Forum 2018 is a first-of-the-kind event gathering scientists, researchers, engineers, academics, practitioners, managers and decision-makers from around the world to discuss and share knowledge on the latest developments in fisheries science. The material contained in this book of abstracts stems from the contributions received from particip...
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
This volume explores the latest techniques used to better understand the brain reward system with respect to neurotransmitters, brain structures, and connectivity. This book aims to show readers tested laboratory protocols to study neural circuitry and biological processes implicated in reward, and in neuropsychiatric disorders such as substance use disorders. The chapters are organized into four parts. Part One addresses classical techniques to study the brain reward system, including the curve shift paradigm in intracranial self-stimulation, stereotaxic surgery in rodents, and the use of brain lesions. Part Two focuses on neurochemical, behavioral, and chemogenetic techniques such as immun...
"Published by the Argentine Dept. of Culture and the National Academy of Tango, this beautifully produced coffee-table book is an abridged version of the author's El libro del tango (see HLAS 46:7032). Written in English to serve as a gift from Argentine authorities to foreign visitors, the work is richly illustrated and covers over 100 years of tango history. Lacking a bibliography and source citations, it is of limited use to specialists"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Covering basic theory, new research, and intersections with adjacent fields, this is the first comprehensive reference work on cognitive control – our ability to use internal goals to guide thought and behavior. Draws together expert perspectives from a range of disciplines, including cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and neurology Covers behavioral phenomena of cognitive control, neuroanatomical and computational models of frontal lobe function, and the interface between cognitive control and other mental processes Explores the ways in which cognitive control research can inform and enhance our understanding of brain development and neurological and psychiatric conditions
