Book excerpt: Nací en Manicaragua, las Villas, descendiente de una familia humilde. Creo que mi vida comenzó cuando a los siete u ocho años me separaron de mi madre y me llevaron para La Habana, capital de Cuba. Allí mis hermanas mayores residían y empecé a estudiar los grados primarios. Ya cursando grados primarios, a los diez años empecé a escribir mis primeras composiciones e historias así como un diario que siempre cargaba con él para todos lados. Tuve mi primer maestro Juan Marquetti Lastra (de los famosos hermanos Marquetti de Alquízar-Habana, todos negros y profesionales) que marcó pautas excelentes en la que aprendí de él buenas lecciones de moral y cívica. Siempre me llevaba el consejo certero de que "no dejara de escribir...que ya se podía creer todo lo que dijera". A los pocos años me vi en los cementerios donde sentía que allí se enriquecía mis deseos de escribir, en el póstumo silencio que ofrecen los muertos, porque los vivos no dejan concentrar mucho a uno. Estudié en el tecnológico Osvaldo Herrera en Rancho Boyeros y Lombillo Ciudad Habana, estudié telegrafía y operación de larga distancia, teniendo allí el cargo de Resp. de cultura a nivel del plantel. Participé en varios talleres literarios, así como en el Concurso Nacional a la Mujer Trabajadora, auspiciado por la CTC de trabajadores de Cuba donde obtuve el segundo lugar. Participé en encuentros de cultura con poemas míos que fueron mencionados. La Federación Nacional de Mujeres Cubanas auspició un concurso "Te ofrezco mis manos" obteniendo mención. Participé en el concurso "Mario Muñoz Monroy" del ministerio de Comunicaciones en Cuba obteniendo premios y reconocimientos. Siempre seguí escribiendo ya que mi trabajo proporcionaba la posibilidad de seguir incursionando en este ámbito. Fui supervisora de Radio y Tv en Comunicaciones en Cuba hasta que emigré a los Estados Unidos en el año l994 trabajando en varias actividades, hasta el 2008 en que decido ponerme a escribir con más ahinco y desde ahí he continuado hasta el momento en que he recopilado cerca de 5,000 poemas. Publiqué en el año 2011. "Donde nace el Poema" y "Manifiesto de Pasión" en el mismo año. Próximamente saldrá un poemario de sonetos y haikus. Participo activamente en el espacio Poemas del Alma desde el 2009, donde feliz comparto mi actividad como escritora.

Download or read book La medicina del nuevo siglo written by Carlos Tajer and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2021 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los médicos tenemos conciencia de la verdadera revolución que se opera en la base científica de nuestra práctica, acompañada del acceso a nuevos recursos terapéuticos y de diagnóstico inimaginables poco tiempo atrás. Pero desde la mirada de los pacientes, la medicina se ha deshumanizado: los médicos escuchan poco, arrogantes de su saber o apurados por sus compromisos (algo muy lejos del modelo nostálgico del médico de la familia). El origen de ese malestar es complejo, y la posibilidad de saltar de la queja a una reflexión que nos permita avanzar hacia una medicina mejor parece muy difícil de lograr. Este libro intenta explorar algunos caminos de debate sobre el complicado panorama de la medicina del nuevo siglo, mediante capítulos agrupados en tres temas de interés: “La Medicina Basada en Evidencias”, “El encuentro entre pacientes y médicos”, y “Las nuevas miradas a la medicina del siglo XXI”.

Download or read book Mission and Migration written by John Lapp and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission and Migration is the first comprehensive history to be written by Latin American Mennonite historians about Mennonite church life in Central and South Americas from its beginnings. From the Introduction to the volume: "The story of the coming of Anabaptist-descended churches to Latin America begins, not in the Spanish colonial period, but in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in the period following Latin American political independence from Spain and Portugal. " The first Mennonite church to take root in Latin American soil gathered for worship in 1919, in the town of Pehuajo, Argentina. It was the result of North American mission efforts and represents one major impulse for the planting of Mennonite churches in Latin America. "The second major impulse came with the settling of Mennonite colonists in Mexico, Paraguay, and Brazil, in the 1920s and '30s. The Mennonite colonists did not come to Latin America as missionaries, but rather to settle as ethnic and religious communities, seeking new life and a future. "Given the variety of Mennonites who live in Latin America, the question, ‘Who or what is a Latin American Mennonite Christian?' is a recurring theme that runs throughout our story, including the present day."

Download or read book Compound Remedies written by Paula S. DeVos and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compound Remedies examines the equipment, books, and remedies of colonial Mexico City’s Herrera pharmacy—natural substances with known healing powers that formed part of the basis for modern-day healing traditions and home remedies in Mexico. Paula S. De Vos traces the evolution of the Galenic pharmaceutical tradition from its foundations in ancient Greece to the physician-philosophers of medieval Islamic empires and the Latin West and eventually through the Spanish Empire to Mexico, offering a global history of the transmission of these materials, knowledges, and techniques. Her detailed inventory of the Herrera pharmacy reveals the many layers of this tradition and how it developed over centuries, providing new perspectives and insight into the development of Western science and medicine: its varied origins, its engagement with and inclusion of multiple knowledge traditions, the ways in which these traditions moved and circulated in relation to imperialism, and its long-term continuities and dramatic transformations. De Vos ultimately reveals the great significance of pharmacy, and of artisanal pursuits more generally, as a cornerstone of ancient, medieval, and early modern epistemologies and philosophies of nature.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Using Disruptive Methodologies and Game Based Learning to Foster Transversal Skills written by Rivera-Trigueros, Irene and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As new technologies and professional profiles emerge, traditional education paradigms have to be adapted to new scenarios, creating favorable conditions for promoting transversal skills among students. Consequently, there is a growing demand for training in emergent skills to solve problems of different natures, distributive leadership competencies, empathy, ability to control emotions, etc. In this sense, one of the challenges that educators of all different educational levels and training contexts have to face is to foster these skills in their courses. To overcome these obstacles, innovative and disruptive methodologies, such as game-based learning activities like escape rooms, can be a great ally for teachers to work on transversal skills and specific knowledge at the same time. The Handbook of Research on Using Disruptive Methodologies and Game-Based Learning to Foster Transversal Skills gathers knowledge, skills, abilities, and capabilities on innovative and disruptive methodologies that can be applied in all educational levels to foster transversal skills. This publication contains different contributions focused on the description of innovative educational methods, processes, and tools that can be adopted by teachers to promote transversal skills such as creativity, critical thinking, decision-making, and entrepreneurial skills. This book is ideal for teachers, instructional designers, educational software developers, academics, professionals, students, and researchers working at all levels in the educational field and provides valuable background information to professionals who aim to overcome traditional paradigm obstacles and meet student needs by means of innovative and disruptive methodologies.

Download or read book Evidentiality and Epistemological Stance written by Ilana Mushin and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the discourse pragmatics of reportive evidentiality in Macedonian, Japanese and English through an empirical study of evidential strategies in narrative retelling. The patterns of evidential use (and non-use) found in these languages are attributed to contextual, cultural and grammatical factors that motivate the adoption of an 'epistemological stance' - a concept that owes much to recent trends in Cognitive Linguistics. The patterns of evidential strategies found in the three languages provide a fine illustration of the balancing act between speakers' expressions of their own subjectivity, their motivations to tell a coherent and exciting story, and their motivations to be faithful retellers of someone elses' story. These pressures are further complicated by the grammatical and pragmatic conventions that are particular to each language. Evidentiality and Epistemological Stance: narrative retelling will appeal to those interested in evidentiality, grammar and pragmatics, cross-linguistics discourse analysis, linguistic subjectivity and narrative.
