Los contratos en el Código civil de Ecuador
Como acertadamente refiere el Doctor Francisco José Infante Ruiz, quien se encarga de realizar el prólogo de esta obra, el presente libro coordinado por las profesoras Grisel Galiano Maritan y Teresa Delgado Vergara y, en el que participan una serie de abogados y profesores, trata del Derecho de contratos en el Código Civil de Ecuador. Pero no sólo eso, hay más. También se mueve en la encrucijada de un Derecho cambiante, que debe responder a una realidad social y económica muy diferente a la que conformó el Código civil de Ecuador en el siglo XIX, el cual casi no ha merecido la atención del legislador sobre este tema en sus sucesivas reformas. Estamos ante un Derecho elaborado t�...
Justicia en REDefinición: Inteligencia Artificial en los métodos adecuados de resolución de controversias
El proceso judicial, pese a ser concebido por la mayoría de procesalistas como “lo mejor” -el método más depurado, garantista y “confiable” para la obtención de la respuesta mejor adaptada al ideal Justicia- se ha mostrado, sin embargo, en los últimos tiempos, como una herramienta insuficiente -tal vez también, en unas ocasiones, ineficaz y en otras, ineficiente- para sortear airosamente toda la inmensa -en creciente progresión- litigiosidad que asfixia a nuestros Juzgadores. Y de tanto aspirar a “lo mejor” hemos venido perdiendo el pulso de “lo bueno”: en paralelo a la Jurisdicción de forma alternativa -muy pronto, complementaria- venían desarrollándose -en el plan...
Los desafíos contemporáneos de la legítima hereditaria
“El derecho comparado permite abrir también el diálogo entre distintos continentes, siendo especialmente atractiva la comparación en torno a una determinada institución sucesoria entre distintos sistemas que forman parte de la misma familia jurídica. Este es el principal objetivo de esta obra (…), la cual reúne once estudios sobre la legítima y sus desafíos actuales en distintos sistemas sucesorios, todos ellos con raíces romanas. Por una parte, la legítima en los sistemas español (que comprende también el estudio de los seis sistemas sucesorios autonómicos) e italiano. Por otra, cruzando el Atlántico, los estudios de la legítima en Cuba, Argentina, Brasil, Perú, Chile y ...
Production Research
This two-volume set presents selected and revised papers from the 10th International Conference of Production Research - Americas, ICPR-Americas 2020, held in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, in December 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held in a fully virtual format. The 41 full papers and 11 short papers were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 275 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on optimization; metaheuristics and algorithms; industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems; smart city; intelligent systems and decision sciences; simulation; machine learning and big data.
The Data Science Design Manual
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests
Though seasonally dry tropical forests are equally as important to global biodiversity as tropical rainforests, and are one of the most representative and highly endangered ecosystems in Latin America, knowledge about them remains limited because of the relative paucity of attention paid to them by scientists and researchers and a lack of published information on the subject. Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests seeks to address this shortcoming by bringing together a range of experts in diverse fields including biology, ecology, biogeography, and biogeochemistry, to review, synthesize, and explain the current state of our collective knowledge on the ecology and conservation of seasonally dry tro...
Music, Race, and Nation
Long a favorite on dance floors in Latin America, the porro, cumbia, and vallenato styles that make up Colombia's música tropical are now enjoying international success. How did this music—which has its roots in a black, marginal region of the country—manage, from the 1940s onward, to become so popular in a nation that had prided itself on its white heritage? Peter Wade explores the history of música tropical, analyzing its rise in the context of the development of the broadcast media, rapid urbanization, and regional struggles for power. Using archival sources and oral histories, Wade shows how big band renditions of cumbia and porro in the 1940s and 1950s suggested both old traditions and new liberties, especially for women, speaking to a deeply rooted image of black music as sensuous. Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.
Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
The initial ‘idea’ for the book emerged during the seminar Sharing of Innovative Pedagogical Practices that occurred at the University of Coimbra (Portugal) in 2018. Like all ‘good ideas’, this one originated in a conversation between colleagues from the University of Coimbra and the University of West London in the United Kingdom. The ‘idea’ of this book was to move away from sharing experiences related to teaching and learning in higher education in just one or two countries, but instead to organise a more European view about the policy, research and teaching practices that are shaping the way our students learn, academics teach and do research. We have a total of 16 chapters from academics in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic. The book is organised in four interrelated themes: (1) policy and quality; (2) professionalisation of teaching and academic development; (3) research and teaching nexus; and (4) pedagogy and practice. Enjoy reading the book!
