Este volumen contiene cinco capítulos que abordan diversas caras de un fenómeno común: la violencia de género en el discurso, el cual se aborda por un grupo de estudiosos de México y Colombia desde perspectivas interdisciplinares. No podía ser de otra manera, ya que este hecho social involucra diversas aristas que van más allá de lo discursivo, aunque el discurso sea la vía de acceso “porque tiene que ver con las representaciones de la experiencia del mundo, con lo que las personas saben, dicen que saben, o cómo asignan el saber a otros” (Bolívar, 2003). De esta manera, las autoras y autores ofrecen sus aportaciones a la tarea de aportar a la equidad social desde la academia. El punto de partida en común de este grupo de trabajo es la investigación que llevó a cabo en 2017 el doctor Ariel Cordisco, investigador del Instituto de Lingüística de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.
En este libro, concebido por la labor conjunta de los Cuerpos Académicos UANL-480 “Estudios de la cultura. Literatura, Discurso, Género y Memoria”, UANL-465 “Estudios de la lengua francesa: pragmática, enseñanza y traducción”, UANL-457 “Estudios interdisciplinarios de la Historia”, ENSMSG-3 “Discurso, Educación y Sociedad”, UACOAH-135 “Discursos, semióticas y lenguajes: Estudios de la cultura en la región”, e investigadores invitados, se contienen diecinueve trabajos cuyo foco es el examen semiótico-discursivo de hechos culturales, en cuyo análisis se tiene en común la consideración de que “los diversos procesos [naturales, culturales, sociales] interactúan entre sí y que no permanecen independientes uno de otro; lo que hace necesario pues, la reconstrucción holística de la realidad estudiada” (Sarquis y Buganza, 2009, pág. 46)
La brujería es un tema presente e importante en el imaginario popular, ante el cual no se suele tener una actitud de neutralidad. Muchas personas creen en ella y la viven como una realidad operante y efectiva, la cual consideran importante conocer para, al menos, evitarse problemas. Para otras personas la creencia en la brujería es sinónimo de superstición, falta de formación crítica y hasta de ignorancia. Desde estas perspectivas, las historias y relatos sobre brujería suponen una mirada a la tradición, a un pasado cultural lejano, guardado en la memoria de la cultura. En este sentido, los discursos forman parte de la memoria de la cultura de un grupo social dominante, el cual con la Conquista y la Colonia fue trasladado a la periferia de la estructura social, lo que activó bruscamente su propia capacidad de desempeñar el papel de generador cultural (Lotman, 1996: 160).
MANAGEMENT OF GENETIC SYNDROMES THE MOST RECENT UPDATE TO ONE OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL REFERENCES ON MEDICAL GENETICS Cassidy and Allanson’s Management of Genetic Syndromes, Fourth Edition is the latest version of a classic text in medical genetics. With newly covered disorders and cutting-edge, up-to-date information, this resource remains the most crucial reference on the management of genetic syndromes in the field of medical genetics for students, clinicians, caregivers, and researchers. The fourth edition includes current information on the identification of genetic syndromes (including newly developed diagnostic criteria), the genetic basis (including diagnostic testing), and the routin...
Fruits and fruit based products are, in most cases, associated with very good sensory characteristics, health, well-being, perishability, relatively easy to mix with food products of diverse origin, amenable to be processed by conventional and novel technologies. Given the multiplicity of aspects whenever fruit preservation is considered, the editors took the challenge of covering in a thorough, comprehensive manner most aspects dealing with this topic. To accomplish these goals, the editors invited well known colleagues with expertise in specific disciplines associated with fruit preservation to contribute chapters to this book. Eighteen chapters were assembled in a sequence that would faci...
This handbook in two parts covers key topics of the theory of financial decision making. Some of the papers discuss real applications or case studies as well. There are a number of new papers that have never been published before especially in Part II.Part I is concerned with Decision Making Under Uncertainty. This includes subsections on Arbitrage, Utility Theory, Risk Aversion and Static Portfolio Theory, and Stochastic Dominance. Part II is concerned with Dynamic Modeling that is the transition for static decision making to multiperiod decision making. The analysis starts with Risk Measures and then discusses Dynamic Portfolio Theory, Tactical Asset Allocation and Asset-Liability Manageme...
This second edition of Water Activity in Foods furnishes those working within food manufacturing, quality control, and safety with a newly revised guide to water activity and its role in the preservation and processing of food items. With clear, instructional prose and illustrations, the book’s international team of contributors break down the essential principles of water activity and water–food interactions, delineating water’s crucial impact upon attributes such as flavor, appearance, texture, and shelf life. The updated and expanded second edition continues to offer an authoritative overview of the subject, while also broadening its scope to include six newly written chapters covering the latest developments in water activity research. Exploring topics ranging from deliquescence to crispness, these insightful new inclusions complement existing content that has been refreshed and reconfigured to support the food industry of today.
Extending the shelf-life of foods whilst maintaining safety and quality is a critical issue for the food industry. As a result there have been major developments in food preservation techniques, which are summarised in this authoritative collection. The first part of the book examines the key issue of maintaining safety as preservation methods become more varied and complex. The rest of the book looks both at individual technologies and how they are combined to achieve the right balance of safety, quality and shelf-life for particular products. - Provides an authoritative review of the development of new and old food preservation technologies and the ways they can be combined to preserve particular foods - Examines the emergence of a new generation of natural preservatives in response to consumer concerns about synthetic additives - Includes chapters on natural antimicrobials, bacteriocins and antimicrobial enzymes, as well as developments in membrane filtration, ultrasound and high hydrostatic pressure
