El urbanismo, el uso del suelo y la contaminación ocasionan graves daños a los recursos hídricos. Este libro revisa las causas que originan su deterioro y las herramientas para su gestión y corrección. Le ayudará a comprender sobre el tratamiento idóneo del agua y asegurar su permanencia en el mundo urbano y rural.
El estudio y reflexión sobre la conservación y aprovechamiento racional de los recursos naturales no sólo es necesario sino urgente. Las condiciones medioambientales que enfrenta el planeta compelen a que integrantes de la academia, los gobiernos y la sociedad civil dialoguen en torno a un presente y futuro compartidos, basados en una racionalidad no utilitarista ni extractivista, sino en un paradigma que coloque en el centro la viabilidad de la Tierra como hogar de todas las especies, dejando atrás un modelo antropocéntrico de desarrollo. Los trabajos que se reúnen en este libro ofrecen perspectivas nacionales sobre los procesos de gestión de los bienes naturales en México, y también integra perspectivas regionales sobre procesos en la materia que se están dando en Chiapas, Jalisco, Michoacán, Yucatán y Zacatecas. La responsabilidad de una adecuada gestión pública y social de los recursos naturales tiene que darse con una visión integral y sistémica de la naturaleza, el entorno y las comunidades.
Las actividades dentro, en el límite y fuera del hogar, se traducen en la producción de bienes y servicios de las mujeres campesinas para el consumo de los miembros de la familia que a su vez adquieren la forma de trabajador activo, trabajador precario, en formación o en actividades del campo sin remuneración. En la población campesina podemos encontrar maestros, médicos, gerentes, directivos, tanto en la iniciativa privada como en la pública en condiciones de trabajo marcadas en la legislación mexicana. No obstante, la mayoría son trabajadores precarios como obreros generales, jornaleros, migrantes, así como los que no trabajan, no estudian, pero realizan labores de cuidado y queh...
Este proyecto busca construir justicias feministas mediante la reivindicación de prácticas de pluralismo y justicia comunitaria, alejadas de la sanción y enfocadas en la restauración del tejido social.
Mathematical and Statistical Estimation Approaches in Epidemiology compiles t- oretical and practical contributions of experts in the analysis of infectious disease epidemics in a single volume. Recent collections have focused in the analyses and simulation of deterministic and stochastic models whose aim is to identify and rank epidemiological and social mechanisms responsible for disease transmission. The contributions in this volume focus on the connections between models and disease data with emphasis on the application of mathematical and statistical approaches that quantify model and data uncertainty. The book is aimed at public health experts, applied mathematicians and sci- tists in ...
This book covers interesting research topics and the use of natural resources for medical treatments in some severe diseases. The most important message is to have native foods which contain high amount of active compounds that can be used as a medicinal plant. Most pharmaceutical drugs were discovered from plants, and still ongoing research will have to predict such new active compounds as anti-diseases. I do believe this book will add significant knowledge to medical societies as well as can be used for postgraduate students.
The author's main reason for writing this book, however, is simply to provide an introduction to the Mexican commercial cinema for American and other English-speaking readers. Although the United States has been, and continues to be, a major foreign market for Mexican movies, the overwhelming majority of Americans are unaware of them. Mexican films are restricted to the Hispanic theater circuits and shown without English subtitles; therefore anyone wishing to see a Mexican movie would have to be fairly fluent in Spanish. Such a requisite effectively eliminates almost the entire general audience in the United States from exposure to Mexican cinema.
Translation and Multimodality: Beyond Words is one of the first books to explore how translation needs to be redefined and reconfigured in contexts where multiple modes of communication, such as writing, images, gesture, and music, occur simultaneously. Bringing together world-leading experts in translation theory and multimodality, each chapter explores important interconnections among these related, yet distinct, disciplines. As communication becomes ever more multimodal, the need to consider translation in multimodal contexts is increasingly vital. The various forms of meaning-making that have become prominent in the twenty-first century are already destabilising certain time-honoured translation-theoretic paradigms, causing old definitions and assumptions to appear inadequate. This ground-breaking volume explores these important issues in relation to multimodal translation with examples from literature, dance, music, TV, film, and the visual arts. Encouraging a greater convergence between these two significant disciplines, this text is essential for advanced students and researchers in Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Communication Studies.
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
