This volume collects some of the papers presented at the 16th IARTEM Conference held in Florence in April 2022. It was a ’difficult conference’, held at a time when the pandemic was still present, and therefore an important opportunity to resume a dialogue that seemed to have been interrupted. The richness of the content, which is the result of the reflections of authors from all over the world, allows us to provide a precise scenario of the research state of art in the field of textbooks and digital resources for teaching.
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text is a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This includes a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
Las Jornadas Internacionales Universitarias de Tecnología Educativa (JUTE 2022) forman parte de las actividades de la red académica RUTE (Red Universitaria de Tecnología Educativa) y su XXIX edición se celebró en la Universitat de València los días 15, 16 y 17 de junio de 2022. Las JUTE 2022 tienen como lema Aprender entre imágenes y pantallas, con el cual se abre un espacio de reflexión y debate sobre las posibilidades que ofrecen los medios digitales para promover una ciudadanía diversa e inclusiva. Los más jóvenes viven y disfrutan intensamente de la iconosfera en la que adquieren nuevos patrones culturales y cognitivos. De modo que cabe preguntarse, ¿qué estrategias de a...
Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an

l papel de los materiales y los recursos didácticos en la Pedagogía Hospitalaria es esencial, ya que son los medios a través de los cuales se concretan los objetivos educativos de los proyectos o programas de intervención en las aulas hospitalarias, los contextos sanitarios u otros espacios socioeducativos donde se trabaja con la salud, la hospitalización, las emociones, la atención a la diversidad, etc. Esta obra busca compartir un conjunto de propuestas de materiales y recursos que impulse el conocimiento y la difusión de experiencias e iniciativas innovadoras y que ponga a disposición de los profesionales de este ámbito herramientas elaboradas específicamente para estos contexto...
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...
This book aims to investigate emerging power quality and stability problems as well as their solutions in more-electronics power systems. The majority of methods presented here are validated through simulation and/or experimental results, thereby improving their credibility. The ultimate objective of these methods is to achieve secured operation of modern power systems with increased (up to 100%) renewable energy penetration, which is an emerging topic in this field. Readers will not only learn about the knowledge of more-electronics power systems but also the step-by-step process of how they can implement this to their research work or industrial practice. This book caters to engineers and academics working in the field of power systems with the main focus of improving power quality and stability.
