Apropiaciones emergentes de tecnologías digitales en Colombia
LA TECNOLOGÍA EMERGE en escenarios particulares para resolver necesidades específicas de individuos y comunidades en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, el abordaje de las tecnologías y de las maneras como estas habitan y cambian el mundo social ha solido afiliarse a un imaginario técnico-científico europeo que las percibe como neutrales y autónomas, y que asume frente a estas una actitud de aceptación acrítica y celebración. Sin pretender anular dicho imaginario, Silvia Buitrago, la autora de este libro, evidencia la necesidad de otras prácticas y lenguajes que posibiliten comprensiones alternativas de la tecnología, indagando en la posibilidad de que su apropiación, en apariencia inmod...

Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives. September 2018
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...

Technocracy and Democracy in Latin America
Praised by some as islands of efficiency in a sea of unprofessional, politicized, and corrupt states, and criticized by others for removing wide areas of policy making from the democratic arena, technocrats have become prominent and controversial actors in Latin American politics. Through an in-depth analysis of economic and health policy in Colombia from 1958 to 2011 and in Peru from 1980 to 2011, Technocracy and Democracy in Latin America explains the source of these experts' power as well as the leverage they have across state policy sectors in Latin America.
Fraught Decisions in Plato and Shakespeare
In the reincarnation myth in Book X of Plato’s Republic, the unnamed first soul, who has lived a good life and has been rewarded in the afterlife, chooses a new life and fate, and chooses catastrophically badly. He finds himself fated to eat his own children. Despite being warned to blame only himself, he wails and blames anything and everything else in his conviction that his fate is undeserved. Though he should not be shocked because he has made this choice himself, he is incredulous because he has completely misunderstood the nature of his choice. Starting with Plato’s myth, this book looks at the errors this soul has made and considers these errors through both the Republic and a ser...
Envejecer en el siglo XXI
Las últimas décadas han evidenciado no solamente un creciente interés acerca de todo lo concerniente a la vejez y a los viejos, sino acerca de las diversas perspectivas desde las cuales se ha abordado el envejecimiento, tan diversas como las múltiples facetas que componen este proceso. De ahí que este libro, Envejecer en el siglo xxi, se haya pensado para estimular el “aprender a aprender” sobre estos temas, más allá de las aulas universitarias; para ofrecer soluciones a las problemáticas sociales, y para que los profesionales de la salud se comuniquen de manera efectiva en los diferentes escenarios del desempeño profesional. También se concibió para consolidar la adquisición de saberes a través de un hilo conductor de contextos sociales y humanísticos desde los cuales se enlazan los problemas clínicos. Además, mediante una integración horizontal, plantea al lector una forma dinámica en la manera de concebir la vejez y de contemplar, al mismo tiempo, el nacimiento de ciencias como la biología, la estadística o la antropología, para determinar al final una mirada integral al surgimiento de la gerontología con sus componentes multidisciplinarios.
