Beauty, Devotion and Spirituality
There is scant research on the art produced under the Congregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, with the exception of a couple of general books focused primarily on major Oratorian art pieces. Therefore, this book of essays aims to discuss the art and culture produced by or associated with the Oratorians by providing a broad overview focused especially on rarely investigated issues. The authors focus on this very important artistic production, commonly forgotten when compared with other religious productions of art, by covering geographical areas spanning from Sri Lanka to Mexico, including Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, India and Brazil.
Practicing Interdisciplinarity
In interdisciplinary projects and research collaborations, participants face multiple demands. However, these expectations encounter a reality that is characterized by time pressure, high demands in one's own discipline, and often increasingly administrative tasks. What can meaningful interdisciplinary work look like in an academic environment? What tasks and constraints do researchers face? And, considering the range of disciplines involved, how can interdisciplinary research projects be designed in a successful way? How does one meaningfully bring different disciplines, their methods, and theories into conversation with each other across the spatial and temporal distance of their subjects?...
Applied Computer Sciences in Engineering
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Engineering Applications, WEA 2021, held in Medellín, Colombia, in October 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held in a hybrid mode. The 33 revised full papers and 11 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 127 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: computational intelligence; bioengineering; Internet of Things (IoT); optimization and operations research; engineering applications.
Becoming Mexipino
Becoming Mexipino is a social-historical interpretation of two ethnic groups, one Mexican, the other Filipino, whose paths led both groups to San Diego, California. Rudy Guevarra traces the earliest interactions of both groups with Spanish colonialism to illustrate how these historical ties and cultural bonds laid the foundation for what would become close interethnic relationships and communities in twentieth-century San Diego as well as in other locales throughout California and the Pacific West Coast. Through racially restrictive covenants and other forms of discrimination, both groups, regardless of their differences, were confined to segregated living spaces along with African Americans...
La filosofía natural del médico J. Gallego de la Serna. Una embriología para la corte de Felipe IV
La filosofía natural antigua ofrecía a los médicos un marco de interpretación del vínculo inexcusable que unía al hombre con todas las formas de vida conocidas. El vigor con que renacían estos estudios en las universidades españolas surgía de los comentarios a los textos médicos junto con la publicación de debates en latín sobre las cuestiones menos claras. El cuerpo humano se describía con detalle, pero era difícil descubrir su funcionamiento. La analogía con distintos seres vivos y el relato de los mitos cosmológicos se admitían como explicación recurrente. El pensamiento del malagueño Juan Gallego de la Serna desvela las condiciones que la tradición filosófica impo�...
Militantes Clandestinos
Militantes clandestinos expone la experiencia de la Comisión Militar (COMIL) como organización autónoma del Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo (PGT). La creación de dicha Comisión, en febrero de 1976, respondió a la exigencia de la militancia para impulsar la guerra revolucionaria popular. Su desarrollo político y militar generó contradicciones internas o recrudecieron las ya existentes, lo cual precipitó su escisión del Comité Central y sus miembros buscaron conformar el nuevo partido comunista de Guatemala, bajo el nombre de Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo-Partido Comunista (PGT-PC). La obra narra, en términos generales, una parte de la historia de este partido comunista, y en l...
The Mononuclear Phagocyte System in Infectious Disease
The Mononuclear Phagocyte System (MPS) of vertebrates is composed of monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells. Together, they form part of the first line of immune defense against a variety of pathogens (bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses), and thus play an important role in maintaining organism homeostasis. The mode of transmission, type of replication and mechanism of disease-causing differ significantly for each pathogen, eliciting a unique immune response in the host. Within this context, the MPS acts as both the sentinel and tailor of the immune system. As sentinels, MPS cells are found in blood and within tissues throughout the body to patrol against pathogenic insult. The strate...
A la luz de Roma. Santos y santidad en el barroco iberoamericano. Volumen III. Tierra de santidad
Nella creazione dei nuovi santi barocchi del mondo iberoamericano, il pontificato ha giocato un ruolo decisivo. Tuttavia, il processo ha coinvolto le chiese locali e anche il potere civile, che ha promosso le cause, mettendo davanti a sé i propri agenti. I nuovi santi rispondono soprattutto alle esigenze rappresentative della nuova Chiesa americana. DOI: 10.13134/979-12-80060-55-6
Postharvest Pathology of Fresh Horticultural Produce
Optimal distribution of fresh horticultural products entails prolonging their freshness and nutritional quality as long as possible after harvest. A major limitation to their marketing is decay after harvest, which is caused primarily by fungal pathogens. Postharvest Pathology of Fresh Horticultural Produce provides a comprehensive resource of information about the biology and control of postharvest diseases of many fresh horticultural products, citing sources from appropriate literature of any age, rather than only the most recent. The etiology and symptoms of postharvest diseases and the biology of postharvest pathogens are reviewed by leading experts, who are familiar with many of world�...
