El presente libro se deriva del proyecto de investigación «La introducción de resultados de las investigaciones científicas–tecnológicas en Instituciones de Educación Superior»: un análisis explicativo de sus alcances en la solución de problemas sociales, empresariales y académicos en tres instituciones de la ciudad de Medellín: Instituto Tecnológico Metropolitano, Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid y la Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales de la Universidad de Antioquia. Se propone como objetivo dar cuenta de los componentes necesarios a tener presente en la configuración de un modelo para la gestión de los resultados de la investigación en Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación en las Instituciones de Educación Superior. Con este estudio se espera lograr una contribución a la gestión del conocimiento que dé cuenta de las posibles estrategias, para avanzar de la producción de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación, hacia la introducción, generalización y validación de sus resultados en los diversos contextos, donde se hacen necesarios para lograr metas coherentes con los procesos de construcción de una sociedad del conocimiento.
Ambivalent Desires: Representations of Modernity and Private Life in Colombia (1890s-1950s) is a literary and cultural study of the reception of modernity in Colombia. Unlike previous studies of Latin American modernization, which have usually focused on the public aspect of the process, this book discusses the intersection between modernity and the private sphere. It analyzes canonical and non-canonical works that reflect the existing ambivalence toward the modernizing project being implemented in the country at the time, and it discusses how the texts in question reinterpret, adapt, and even reject the ideology of modernity. The focus of the study is how the understanding of the relationsh...

In this book, experts in the field discuss the latest research in developmental neuroendocrinology. Given that the hypothalamus is the center of neuroendocrine activity, the reader will learn about the molecular specification of hypothalamic cells, developmental modulators and epigenetic factors influencing hypothalamic development, and the development of neuroendocrine circuits. Each chapter provides a concise review of the current and future perspectives in developmental neuroendocrinology. Important insights into state-of-the-art techniques applied to functional circuit tracking, lineage tracing of hypothalamic cells, and the identification of genes altered through epigenetic mechanisms a...
Oblivion is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written memorial to the author's father, Héctor Abad Gómez, whose criticism of the Colombian regime led to his murder by paramilitaries in 1987. Twenty years in the writing, it paints an unforgettable picture of a man who followed his conscience and paid for it with his life during one of the darkest periods in Latin America's recent history.
Our world is changing at an accelerating rate. The global human population has grown from 6.1 billion to 7.1 billion in the last 15 years and is projected to reach 11.2 billion by the end of the century. The distribution of humans across the globe has also shifted, with more than 50 percent of the global population now living in urban areas, compared to 29 percent in 1950. Along with these trends, increasing energy demands, expanding industrial activities, and intensification of agricultural activities worldwide have in turn led to changes in emissions that have altered the composition of the atmosphere. These changes have led to major challenges for society, including deleterious impacts on...
Project ISTP has been engaged in basic research aimed at developing theory and technique for the analysis and description of data structures. Three principal objectives were defined at the outset: Description of data structures with precision and conciseness for communication between designers, implementers, and users; Description of data structures leading to implementation insights; Description of data structures leading to evaluations of the form: Given in particular computing system and a given class of storage-and retrieval problems, how suitable is a described structure as a means of accomplishing problem solutions on the proposed equipment. This report gives the main results to date of the project. (Author).
