WikiPlaza presents a practical and theoretical research in the field of the participatory social construction of public space mediated by information and communication technologies. The work aims to condense the experiences of free software and hacker culture, and the social and independent media movements that emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century, in order to produce "ecosophic machines," that is, new technical, social and mental ecologies that offer an alternative to the dominant neoliberalism and promote and stimulate emancipation, autonomy and spaces of the commons. The subtitle Request For Comments is our small homage to the pioneers of the Internet, and points to the fact that the wikiplaza project is a work in progress, open to anybody who wants to question, use or change it, or to create new versions.

In recent decades, the mainstream microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis was proven to be insufficient for exploring the dynamic and complex interactions among humans, institutions, and nature in our real economy. On the one side, microeconomics is filled with black-box models that fail to study the actual contractual relations between firms and markets, while on the other side macroeconomics were proven useless because they mistook the beauty of theoretical models for truth. Thus, questions have arisen about using new theoretical and empirical structures that would better describe our economic systems. Bridging Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and the Effects on Economic Development and ...

Fermented foods harbour diverse and complex microbial communities that change over time and vary depending on the type of product, particularly artisanal ones, that do not rely on starter cultures to conduct the fermentation process. Thus, autochthonous microbiota can originate from raw materials, be added by workers, be introduced via equipment, or develop as a consequence of the production environment. The contribution of this microbiota is crucial for the development of specific organoleptic features of the final product. Moreover, the complex dynamics and interactions between microbes, and growth substrates (raw materials) can positively influence the quality and safety of the final prod...
