VI Latin American Congress on Biomedical Engineering CLAIB 2014, Paraná, Argentina 29, 30 & 31 October 2014
This volume presents the proceedings of the CLAIB 2014, held in Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina 29, 30 & 31 October 2014. The proceedings, presented by the Regional Council of Biomedical Engineering for Latin America (CORAL) offer research findings, experiences and activities between institutions and universities to develop Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering and related sciences. The conferences of the American Congress of Biomedical Engineering are sponsored by the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE), Society for Engineering in Biology and Medicine (EMBS) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), among other organizations and international agen...
Cardiologie du sport
Le sport est bon pour la santé et doit être encouragé chez les sujets sains comme chez les « malades ». Cependant, le système cardiovasculaire qui occupe une place centrale dans les adaptations de l’organisme aux contraintes du sport peut parfois être le « maillon faible » du pratiquant et être alors à l’origine d’accidents potentiellement graves. Les adaptations du système cardiovasculaire à l’exercice musculaire sont doubles, aigues contemporaines de l’effort et chroniques induites par un entraînement intense et prolongé. Les caractéristiques des contraintes de la pratique sportive et des adaptations qui en découlent varient selon les disciplines, le mode de pratique et les spécificités du pratiquant. Elles doivent être connues pour permettre à chaque sportif de tirer le meilleur bénéfice de sa pratique individuelle avec le meilleur niveau de sécurité possible. Cet ouvrage, actuellement unique en son genre dans le monde francophone, se propose de répondre aux questions souvent inquiètes que les personnes impliquées dans le monde du sport se posent sur les relations parfois tumultueuses qui peuvent exister entre le cœur et le sport.
La femme sportive
Cet ouvrage complet et enrichi de schémas et figures appréhende l’essentiel de la physiologie et de la physiopathologie de la femme sportive pour un accompagnement scientifique vers la performance. Il s'articule en 3 parties : - La première intègre des notions fondamentales de physiologie sportive en s’appuyant sur des références scientifiques nombreuses et récentes. Y sont développés les spécificités de morphologie, la composition corporelle, les métabolismes hydrique et énergétique, le cœur et l’appareil cardiovasculaire, la grossesse et la ménopause. - La deuxième partie, illustrée de cas concrets, décrit des mécanismes physiopathologiques fréquemment observés chez la femme sportive : les troubles du cycle menstruel, les problèmes pelviens, l’évolution de la densité osseuse, les troubles alimentaires, les anémies, le dopage, la fragilité du système ostéo-ligamentaire. - Enfin, la dernière partie regroupe des conseils pratiques portant sur la nutrition, la contraception et l’état de grossesse.
Principles of Exercise Testing and Interpretation
"In this fifth edition of Principles of Exercise Testing and Interpretation, as in earlier editions, we attempt to develop conceptual advances in the physiology and pathophysiology of exercise, particularly as related to the practice of medicine. The underlying theme of the book continues to be the recognition that the most important requirement for exercise performance is transport of oxygen to support the bioenergetic processes in the muscle cells (including, of course, the heart) and elimination of the carbon dioxide formed as a byproduct of exercise metabolism. Thus, appropriate cardiovascular and ven- tilatory responses are required to match those of muscle respiration in meeting the en...
La conquête de l'espace
Measuring just 2.5 x 4 cm with a simple black slipcase, The Conquest of Space. Atlas for the Use of Artists and the Military is an artist's book by Marcel Broodthaers originally published in 1975 in an edition of fifty numbered copies. As Broodthaers's last book, created shortly before his death in 1976, it embodies the artist's sardonic sense of humor with its plays on language and function - the title references the historic use of atlases by militaries for territorial conquests, but printed at such a miniature scale, it is unusable for its intended function. Furthering the level of intrigue with the book, Broodthaers did not follow established geographical organization, choosing rather to present only a small selection of countries organized in alphabetical order and graphically represented in identical size. This facsimile edition, published by The Museum of Modern Art, makes the artist's book available again for the first time since the original printing in 1975 in a limited edition of 500 copies.

School Days
School Days (Chemin-d’Ecole) is a captivating narrative based on Patrick Chamoiseau’s childhood in Fort-de-France, Martinique. It is a revelatory account of the colonial world that shaped one of the liveliest and most creative voices in French and Caribbean literature today. Through the eyes of the boy Chamoiseau, we meet his severe, Francophile teacher, a man intent upon banishing all remnants of Creole from his students’ speech. This domineering man is succeeded by an equally autocratic teacher, an Africanist and proponent of “Negritude.” Along the way we are also introduced to Big Bellybutton, the class scapegoat, whose tales of Creole heroes and heroines, magic, zombies, and fantastic animals provide a fertile contrast to the imported French fairy tales told in school. In prose punctuated by Creolisms and ribald humor, Chamoiseau infuses the universal terrors, joys, and disappointments of a child’s early school days with the unique experiences of a Creole boy forced to confront the dominant culture in a colonial school. School Days mixes understanding with laughter, knowledge with entertainment—in ways that will fascinate and delight readers of all ages.
What is Literature for?
Along with the theoretical or traditionally historical question “What is literature?”, the critical and political question “What can literature do?” begs an answer. What value do contemporary society and culture ascribe to literature? What utility? What role? “My confidence in the future of literature”, wrote Italo Calvino, consists in the knowledge that there are things that only literature can give us, by means specific to it”. Is this still relevant to us today?
Class Choreographies
Awarded Best Book prize by CIES Globalization and Education SIG Awarded 2nd Prize in the Society of Educational Studies Annual Book Prize Elite schools have always been social choreographers par excellence. The world over, they put together highly dexterous performances as they stage and restage changing relations of ruling. They are adept at aligning their social choreographies to shifting historical conditions and cultural tastes. In multiple theatres, they now regularly rehearse the irregular art of being global. Elite schools around the world are positioned at the intersecting pinnacles of various scales, systems and regimes of social, cultural, political and economic power. They have much in common but are also diverse. They illustrate how various modalities of power are enjoyed and put to work and how educational and social inequalities are shaped and shifted. They, thus, speak to the social zeitgeist. This book dissects this intricate choreography.
