Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todos recordaremos el año 2020 como un punto de inflexión en nuestro pasado reciente. La declaración por parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) de la COVID-19 como una pandemia en el mes de marzo de ese año configura un nuevo escenario mundial para el que la mayor parte de los países y sus gobiernos no estaban preparados. Algo más de un año después, iniciado ya el proceso de vacunación contra esta enfermedad, echamos la vista atrás y podemos observar cómo la crisis socio-sanitaria causada por el SARS-CoV2 ha cambiado nuestras vidas por completo.Una de las lecciones aprendidas en medio de esta pesadilla es la importancia que tiene y ha tenido la investigación científica para luchar contra esta situación. El presente libro presenta las investigaciones significativas en el campo de la salud, la comunicación y la educación y que presentan un escenario nuevo como fruto de la nueva situación socio-sanitaria.No queremos dejar pasar estas líneas sin antes realizar nuestro pequeño homenaje a todas las víctimas que ha tenido y tendrá esta pandemia. Y, por supuesto, agradecer a todos y cada una de las personas que han estado en primera línea en los peores momentos.

This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las consecuencias del coronavirus son de distinto orden. En este libro se consideran algunas de las que afectan el orden mundial, el cual tendrá diversos impactos en la pospandemia. La pandemia de covid-19 no ha sido la primera ni tampoco será la última, en un mundo en el que la humanidad no ha sabido guardar la debida relación con la naturaleza y con el planeta. Se ha reaccionado con interpretaciones variadas sobre el coronavirus, algunas racionales y otras disparatadas que incorporan teorías lineales y hasta conspirativas. Hay visiones que invitan a pensar en el futuro en derivas autoritarias innecesarias frente a las del respeto de las libertades individuales democráticas, en un clima de generalización de sistemas de vigilancia y de tecnologías digitales de control lideradas por China, pero utilizadas también por algunos Gobiernos en Occidente. El comportamiento chino se ofrece como modelo para el mundo, lo cual plantea disyuntivas para países latinoamericanos de alineamientos diferentes frente al nuevo poder y el alineamiento tradicional con Estados Unidos. Este entorno ofrece la posibilidad de pensar en un régimen político mundial fundamentado en experiencias maquiavelianas, pero sin descuidar el trasfondo político de un terrorismo siempre activo y vigente y de los fuertes cambios en el entorno geoeconómico con el acortamiento de las cadenas globales de valor en su espacialidad transcontinental.
Download or read book Representaciones Sociales del Coronavirus SARS COV 2 written by María Guadalupe Villegas Tapia and published by Innovación Editorial Lagares de México, S.A. de C.V.. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El mundo cambió a partir de que se declara al Covid-19 una pandemia, lo que afectó a todas las naciones. Según la OMS, para mayo del 2021 han muerto 3 millones 300 mil personas a nivel mundial por esta enfermedad, y de acuerdo con la UNESCO, 1,215 millones de estudiantes se quedaron sin poder recibir clases presenciales. En este libro se recuperan las voces de los jóvenes estudiantes, apoyándonos en la línea teórico-metodológica de las representaciones sociales del creador de estas y uno de los más grandes pensadores de las ciencias sociales y humanidades, Serge Moscovici, en Francia, por el año de 1969. En Representaciones Sociales del Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, podrá encontrar cómo los jóvenes representaron estos momentos de miedo, tristeza, desesperación, angustia, dolor e incertidumbre ante la pandemia, sorprendiendo siempre con los conocimientos que construyen en el campo del “nuevo sentido común” y del “sentido común”, develando sus posicionamientos. Sólo por abrir la curiosidad del lector se mencionan los siguientes: el estigma que enfrentará el país de China, el planteamiento de si el coronavirus es una enfermedad del consumismo impuesto por el modelo capitalista, la indignación ante el abandono en que el gobierno ha mantenido al sector salud, y la desprotección de los que “viven al día”. Alertan sobre la existencia de una crisis mundial, y la que vendrá, aún mayor, tanto económica como humanitaria. Las páginas del presente conducen al lector a descubrir la esencia de la juventud, que ante todas las catástrofes emerge de sus cenizas a partir de su capacidad de resiliencia, solidaridad, esperanza e imaginación, abriendo senderos para transitar hacia el cambio, hacia un mundo más equitativo y justo, como, por ejemplo: la búsqueda de un modelo económico de desarrollo sustentable que logre abatir la destrucción del planeta, porque desde la visión de los jóvenes, “este es un virus en contra de la humanidad”. Además, también hacen un reconocimiento al personal del sector salud, a quienes ofrecen “su admiración y respeto porque van a una guerra virológica, prácticamente sin fusil”, con el único deseo de salvar vidas. Por otra parte, el lector podrá ubicar el contexto en el que se desenvuelven los jóvenes en este momento de pandemia, escrito por personalidades con el grado de doctor que ejercen en el campo de la educación superior, así como las propuestas innovadoras de dos estudiantes del sector educativo público y privado. Sin lugar a duda, la lectura de esta obra también representa un homenaje póstumo a las víctimas del coronavirus, así como un reconocimiento a todo el personal del Sector Salud de México y del mundo, que lucha por salvar vidas; y a todos aquellos que anhelan el cambio y están dispuestos a emprender acciones, en aras de un “nuevo comienzo”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La realidad en la que vivimos y de la que formamos parte, es sumamente compleja, y dada la crítica situación por la que atraviesa la sociedad humana actual, puede merecer la pena reflexionar sobre sus posibles causas, e incluso tal vez indagar en el pasado, en la búsqueda de respuestas a preguntas que han estado en el pensamiento humano desde la antigüedad. La historia de la humanidad no es meramente una colección de hechos inconexos y sin relación; desde la perspectiva ventajosa del presente, puede apreciarse que el panorama actual del mundo es, en gran parte, una herencia de nuestro pasado, y que podríamos estar encaminándonos al punto culminante al que inevitablemente habrían de llevarnos los grandes errores que se cometieron en él, y que se han repetido cada vez con más intensidad a lo largo de los siglos. ¿Podríamos estar pasando por alto la clave principal, la lección más importante que la historia y la situación actual deberían enseñarnos?

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
Download or read book Indigenous Peoples food systems written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
Download or read book Digital Information Ecosystems written by Dominique Augey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital information, particularly for online newsgathering and reporting, is an industry fraught with uncertainty and rapid innovation. Digital Information Ecosystems: Smart Press crosses academic knowledge with research by media groups to understand this evolution and analyze the future of the sector, including the imminent employment of bots and artificial intelligence. The book adopts an original and multidisciplinary approach to this topic: combining the science of media economics with the experience of a practicing journalist of a major daily newspaper. The result is an essential guide to the opportunities of the media to respond to a changing global digital landscape. Independent news reporting is vital in the contemporary democracy; the media must itself become a new “smart press”.
Download or read book Research Literacy and Communication Education New Challenges Facing Disinformation written by Belén Puebla-Martínez and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information that comes through digital media and social networks is increasing. This potential access to almost infinite information makes it difficult to select relevant content with a good understanding. It is therefore necessary to generate research that thoroughly analyses the phenomenon of communication and information in the digital age. For this reason, this monograph presents different research studies that highlight the need for greater media literacy and education in order to prevent the existence and dissemination of fake news. Citizens must know how to deal with disinformation and be able to detect the source of bad intentions behind information. Therefore, people need to be aware of the new communication challenges in order to determine what is important, which media they can trust, and where information has been misused or manipulated. In conclusion, society must be prepared to face new challenges related to misinformation. An educated and digitally literate society will be able to face these problems and be prepared to face the new communication challenges, including interaction with social networks, new audiences, new media, fake news, etc.

Download or read book Cradle to Cradle written by William McDonough and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.
Download or read book Poverty Mosaics Realities and Prospects in Small Scale Fisheries written by Svein Jentoft and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-15 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small-scale fisheries are a major source of food and employment around the world. Yet, many small-scale fishers work in conditions that are neither safe nor secure. Millions of them are poor, and often they are socially and politically marginalized. Macro-economic and institutional mechanisms are essential to address these poverty and vulnerability problems; however, interventions at the local community level are also necessary. This requires deep understanding of what poverty means to the fishers, their families and communities; how they cope with it; and the challenges they face to increase resiliency and improve their lives for the better. This book provides a global perspective, situating small-scale fisheries within the broad academic discourse on poverty, fisheries management and development. In-depth case studies from fifteen countries in Latin America, Europe, South and Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, demonstrate the enormously complex ecological, economic, social, cultural and political contexts of this sector. Conclusions for policy-making, formulated as a joint statement by the authors, argue that fisheries development, poverty alleviation, and resource management must be integrated within a comprehensive governance approach that also looks beyond fisheries. The scientific editors, Svein Jentoft and Arne Eide, are both with the Norwegian College of Fishery Science, Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics, University of Tromsø, Norway.

Download or read book Ecology of Shallow Lakes written by Marten Scheffer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecology of Shallow Lakes brings together current understanding of the mechanisms that drive the diametrically opposite states of water clarity, shown by the cover paintings, found in many shallow lakes and ponds. It gives an outline of the knowledge gained from field observations, experimental work, and restoration studies, linked by a solid theoretical framework. The book focuses on shallow lakes, but the lucid treatment of plankton dynamics, resuspension, light climate and the role of vegetation is relevant to a much wider range of aquatic systems. The models that are used remain simple and most analyses are graphical rather than algebraic. The text will therefore appeal to students, scientists and policy makers in the field of ecology, fisheries, pollution studies and water management, and also to theoreticans who will benefit from the many real-world examples of topics such as predation and competition theory, bifurcation analysis and catastrophe theory. Perhaps most importantly, the book is a remarkable example of how large field experiments and simple models can catalyze our insight into complex ecosystems. Marten Scheffer wrote this book while at the Institute of Inland Water Management and Waste Treatment, RIZA, Lelystad, The Netherlands. He is currently at the Department of Water Quality Management and Aquatic Ecology of the Wageningen Agricultural University. Reviews `Much rarer are textbooks that so succinctly sum up the state-of-the-art knowledge about a subject that they become instant `bibles'. This book is one of these. It is probably one of the best biological textbooks I have read. Scheffer masterfully pulls all this information together under one cover and presents a coherent account, which will serve as a benchmark for the subject. The reader will not gain any great insight into the breeding biology of pike from this book, nor learn much about dragonflies or newts. They will, however, come to understand the essential nature of shallow lakes or, as the author puts it, `how shallow lakes work'. Overall, this book will be of great interest to practical and theoretical ecologists, students and managers in all fields of biology. All freshwater ecologists should certainly read it.' Simon Harrison in Journal of Ecology, 86 `The book by Scheffer can be seen as a milestone in the recognition of shallow lakes as a research topic in its own right. Scheffer uses three approaches concurrently to unravel the functioning of shallow lakes: 1) statistical analysis of large datasets from a variety of lakes; 2) simple abstract models made up of a few non-linear ordinary differential equations, which he calls `mini-models'; and 3) logical reasoning based on a mixture of results from fieldwork, experiments and models. What is new is that Scheffer links mathematics very nicely with what one feels is a correct description of the functioning of a shallow lake. Employing logical reasoning, Scheffer combines all these sources of knowledge into a general, coherent picture of the functioning of a shallow lake.' Wolf Mooij in Aquatic Ecology, 32
