How Pharaohs Became Media Stars: Ancient Egypt and Popular Culture
New media and its enormous diffusion in the last decades of the 20th century and up to the present has greatly increased and diversified the reception of Egyptian themes and motifs and Egyptian influence in various cultural spheres. This book seeks to provide new evidence of this interdisciplinarity between Egyptology and popular culture.
Game of Thrones - A View from the Humanities Vol. 1
This book reflects on time, space and culture in the Game of Thrones universe. It analyses both the novels and the TV series from a multidisciplinary perspective ultimately aimed at highlighting the complexity, eclecticism and diversity that characterises Martin’s world. The book is divided into three thematic sections. The first section focuses on space—both the urban and natural environment—and the interaction between human beings and their surroundings. The second section follows different yet complementary approaches to Game of Thrones from an aesthetic and cultural perspective. The final section addresses the linguistic and translation implications of the Game of Thrones universe, as well as its didactic uses. This book is paired with a second volume that focuses on the characters that populate Martin’s universe, as well as on one of the ways in which they often interact—violence and warfare—from the same multidisciplinary perspective.
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma: Updates on Diagnosis and Treatments
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Western countries and is comprised of a heterogeneous group of biologically distinct entities resulting in the clonal proliferation of a germinal or post-germinal malignant B cell. The disease is particularly aggressive with 40% of the afflicted individuals succumbing to the disease. The standard treatment for DLBCL is still chemo-immunotherapy with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Whilst this modality is safe and effective, up to 45%–50% of patients will relapse. Despite advances in therapy, DLBCL remains a challenging disease to manage, with significant heterogeneity in clinical presentation and outcomes. Therefore, there is a need to update the medical community with the latest updates in the diagnosis and treatment of DLBCL.
Innovación y Tendencias Educativas: un camino hacia las nuevas formas de aprendizaje
Vivimos en una sociedad en constante evolución ya sea por los cambios políticos, sociales o económicos. No es necesario indicar que todo esto repercute en todos los sectores de la sociedad pero pensamos que muy especialmente en la educación. Desde diferentes sectores se está demandando un cambio de modelo pedagógico de las instituciones que responda a las demandas de la nueva sociedad del conocimiento, apuntando hacia una mayor transformación, flexibilización y personalización del aprendizaje. Esto implica, de un lado, innovar en la práctica, cultura y organización de las instituciones educativas dando mayor protagonismo a las tecnologías digitales emergentes y, de otro, reducir la desigualdad y la exclusión social que puedan sucederse en cualquiera de sus formas. Enmarcado en este escenario nos hemos propuesto dar voz a los profesionales que actualmente están investigando a nivel nacional e internacional sobre estas nuevas tendencias educativas, dando a conocer las múltiples experiencias desarrolladas.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Arterias de la sociedad del siglo XXI. Las TIC como herramienta multidisciplinar. Estudios de caso
La incertidumbre es la categorización de estos tiempos que hoy vivimos. Una categoría que ha llegado, paradójicamente, en la época de nuestra historia en la que la tecnología más avanzada está. Esto, sin duda alguna, traza la primera de las conclusiones que nuestro tiempo nos otorga: el avance tecnológico no está ligado al progreso humano. Es más, debe ser objeto de reflexión preguntarse si a medida que nos volvemos más tecnológicos no nos deshumanizamos en paralelo y en desproporciones inver-sas. Sí, en efecto, se nos suman muchas preguntas a la cabeza.
