This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro surge en un contexto de circunstancias cambiantes, en el que temas de preocupación colectiva como los desplazamientos humanos globales, las catástrofes climáticas, las enfermedades que se transmiten a velocidades pasmosas, la digitalización y automación de las guerras y los políticos agresivamente nacionalistas afectan a varios países desde hace décadas. La experiencia de la pandemia reverbera con variada intensidad en las páginas de Conocimientos, sociedades y tecnologías en América Latina, que fue escrito durante estos meses de cuarentenas inacabables en ciudades de América Latina y Europa. En esta obra hay temas actuales, urgentes, que ofrecen interpretaciones y reflexiones valiosas surgidas de la conciencia de lo que implica la ubicación en el Sur global para su discusión. Esta es una oportuna contribución al campo de los estudios sobre ciencia y tecnología desde una perspectiva regional y en un momento particular de nuestra historia.

Download or read book Habilitando La Apertura El Futuro de La Sociedad de La Informacion En America Latina y El Caribe written by Bruce Girard and published by IDRC Crdi. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los ultimos anos la internet y otras tecnologias de red se han convertido en un asunto central para el desarrollo de America Latina y el Caribe. Han demostrado su capacidad de aumentar la productividad y la competitividad de las economias, crear nuevas formas de ofrecer servicios de educacion y salud, y funcionar como fuerzas impulsoras para la modernizacion de la prestacion de servicios publicos. Este libro examina algunas de las preguntas claves: Internet continuara siendo abierta durante la proxima decada? La vigilancia en linea desafiara cada vez mas la privacidad individual? Los datos abiertos, las redes sociales y las nuevas formas de participacion, mejoraran la democracia en la region? Seremos capaces de aprovechar las posibilidades de colaboracion que ofrece internet para crear economias socialmente mas significativas y sostenibles? La educacion digital, la ciencia y la creatividad, prosperaran en ALC y reflejaran la diversidad cultural de sus pueblos? Las respuestas a estas preguntas seran claves a la hora de determinar si internet efectivamente contribuira a la creacion de una sociedad mas abierta y desarrollada en nuestro rincon del mundo. Este libro continua los debates que se desarrollaron durante el seminario "Desarrollo Abierto: Explorando el futuro de la sociedad de la informacion en America Latina y el Caribe," que tuvo lugar en Montevideo el 2 y 3 de abril de 2013. Organizado por Fundacion Comunica y el Centro Internacional de Investigacion para el Desarrollo (IDRC) en el marco de la "Cuarta Conferencia Ministerial sobre la Sociedad de la Informacion en America Latina y el Caribe," el seminario ofrecio una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre la direccion de los cambios ocurridos en la region y los nuevos temas que estan sobre el tapete, analizando como se pueden tratar mejor desde las iniciativas regionales. Los 25 capitulos del libro presentan una serie de reflexiones y perspectivas de muchos de los expertos de la region en esos temas. Mas que ofrecer una perspectiva consolidada, los autores se sumergen en los temas e indagan nuevas maneras de enmarcar los problemas, a la vez que buscan soluciones novedosas. A pesar de la considerable diversidad, el libro pone de relieve las numerosas concordancias emergentes en cuestiones relativas a las nuevas oportunidades y desafios para la sociedad de la informacion en la region.

Download or read book Future Oriented Technology Analysis written by Cristiano Cagnin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-29 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of foresight to address the challenges of uncertainty and rapid change has grown dramatically in the past decade. In that period, the techniques have been greatly refined and the scope has been broadened to encompass future-oriented technology analysis (FTA) and more recently, the concept and practice of strategic intelligence. FTA addresses directly the longer-term future through the active and continuous development of visions, and pathways to realise these visions. It is increasingly seen as a valuable management and policy tool complementing, and extending further into the future, classical strategy, planning, and decision-making approaches. This book charts the development of FTA and provides the first coherent description and analysis of its practical application and impact in the worlds of business, government, education and research in both advanced and developing countries. It draws on papers addressing the application of FTA around the globe which were presented at the Second International Seville Seminar in September 2006. The insights and practical experience will be invaluable for company managers, government ministers and officials, researchers and academics with responsibilities for effective planning and decision-making in an increasingly turbulent and unpredictable world.

Download or read book Policy and Governance of Science Technology and Innovation written by Gonzalo Ordóñez-Matamoros and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the governance and management of science, technology, and innovation (STI) in relation to innovation policy and governance systems, highlighting its goal, challenges, and opportunities. Divided into two sections, it addresses the role of governments in promoting innovation in Latin-American contexts as well as barriers and opportunities for STI governance in the region. The chapters tackle the role of institutions, innovation funding, technological trajectories, regional innovation policies, innovation ecosystems, universities, knowledge appropriation, and markets. Researchers and scholars will find an opportunity to grasp a better understanding of innovation policies in emerging economies. This interdisciplinary work presents original research on science, technology and innovation policy and governance studies in an understudied region.

This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently statistical knowledge has become an important requirement and occupies a prominent position in the exercise of various professions. In the real world, the processes have a large volume of data and are naturally multivariate and as such, require a proper treatment. For these conditions it is difficult or practically impossible to use methods of univariate statistics. The wide application of multivariate techniques and the need to spread them more fully in the academic and the business justify the creation of this book. The objective is to demonstrate interdisciplinary applications to identify patterns, trends, association sand dependencies, in the areas of Management, Engineering and Sciences. The book is addressed to both practicing professionals and researchers in the field.

Download or read book Inteligencia artificial y bienestar de las juventudes en Am rica Latina written by Lionel Brossi and published by LOM Ediciones. This book was released on 2019 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lo que hoy entendemos por inteligencia artificial está asociado a la planificación, la comprensión del lenguaje, el reconocimiento de objetos y sonidos, la resolución de problemas. Se trata de nuevos algoritmos que conducirían al aprendizaje acumulativo, emulando de esta manera el aprendizaje a través de la experiencia. En la última década hemos sido testigos del rápido progreso de la inteligencia artificial en diversos campos determinantes del quehacer humano. Tal como ocurre con cualquier tecnología, la IA viene acompañada de enormes desafíos y potenciales riesgos para la sociedad, por lo que es imperioso contar con conocimiento relevante que promueva el accionar para reducir o evitar los posibles efectos negativos. Numerosas iniciativas a nivel global dan cuenta de los esfuerzos por establecer formas de gobernanza de la IA para reducir sus potenciales impactos negativos y fortalecer los beneficios que puede brindar a la sociedad en campos como el futuro del trabajo, los sistemas de transporte autónomos, la salud, la educación, las finanzas, el comercio, entre otros. Sin duda son muchas las oportunidades que estas tecnologías pueden ofrecer, pero sabemos que existe un riesgo real de que, sin una intervención cuidadosa, la IA pueda exacerbar los desequilibrios estructurales, económicos, sociales y políticos, y reforzar aún más las desigualdades basadas en diferentes variables demográficas (incluyendo etnicidad, raza, género, identidad sexual y de género, religión, nacionalidad, edad y nivel educativo o socioeconómico) y así impactar negativamente las vidas de muchos jóvenes en el mundo, y en el caso particular que nos ocupa, de la juventud latinoamericana. Es por esto también que los estudios en la región adquieren suma relevancia, ya que estas tecnologías son creadas principalmente en países como Estados Unidos y China, lo que extiende las brechas no sólo en lo referente al acceso, sino en cómo estos sistemas están siendo diseñados, pensados y su consecuente impacto.

Download or read book The New Latin America written by Fernando Calderón and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has experienced a profound transformation in the first two decades of the 21st century: it has been fully incorporated into the global economy, while excluding regions and populations devalued by the logic of capitalism. Technological modernization has gone hand-in-hand with the reshaping of old identities and the emergence of new ones. The transformation of Latin America has been shaped by social movements and political conflicts. The neoliberal model that dominated the first stage of the transformation induced widespread inequality and poverty, and triggered social explosions that led to its own collapse. A new model, neo-developmentalism, emerged from these crises as national populist movements were elected to government in several countries. The more the state intervened in the economy, the more it became vulnerable to corruption, until the rampant criminal economy came to penetrate state institutions. Upper middle classes defending their privileges and citizens indignant because of corruption of the political elites revolted against the new regimes, undermining the model of neo-developmentalism. In the midst of political disaffection and public despair, new social movements, women, youth, indigenous people, workers, peasants, opened up avenues of hope against the background of darkness invading the continent. This book, written by two leading scholars of Latin America, provides a comprehensive and up-do-date account of the new Latin America that is in the process of taking shape today. It will be an indispensable text for students and scholars in Latin American Studies, sociology, politics and media and communication studies, and anyone interested in Latin America today.
