Nadie se esperaba esto. Nadie imaginó tanto silencio en las calles, tanta angustia en los hospitales, la desesperanza de tantos. La única ventaja de la situación que vivimos es el tiempo que poseemos para reflexionar, una capacidad que marcará la diferencia. Es el momento de la responsabilidad, la entereza y el sacrificio, pero por encima de todo es un periodo para la meditación. Toca cavilar sobre nuestros errores, diferencias, prioridades y prejuicios, con la esperanza de que, cuando acabe la crisis del Coronavirus, seamos mejores, más humanos y solidarios. \r\n En las páginas de esta obra, diversos profesionales del periodismo, la historia, la economía o la política, entre otros, expresan desde un clima de reflexión personal su propia percepción de la crisis que estamos padeciendo. Unos de una forma visceral, otros conmovidos por su día a día, pero todos con un único objetivo: refrendar su compromiso con los héroes y heroínas que mientras escribimos estas líneas, luchan contra el virus genocida.
En las últimas décadas las economías avanzadas han tendido a una evidente desindustrialización. Acompañados de la Gran Recesión, la pandemia de la COVID-19 y los diferentes conflictos bélicos, los países de ingreso mediano tampoco logran un crecimiento estable de sus economías a largo plazo. La industria española no es extraña a este fenómeno. Con el respaldo europeo, el Gobierno de España puso en marcha en 2021 un programa de colaboración público privada, los Proyectos Estratégicos para la Recuperación y Transformación Económica (PERTE), cuya intención es impulsar grandes iniciativas empresariales que contribuyan a cambiar la economía. ¿Está teniendo éxito esta herra...
This book unveils the myriad streams of ecocentric thoughts that have been flowing through the human mind – in indigenous communities, in the wisdom of philosophers, in the creative expressions of poets and writers – sometimes latent, but sometimes more explicit. The strength of this book lies in the fact that it attempts to show that ecocentrism had not emerged suddenly as a distinct line of philosophical thought or found its place among the various normative approaches toward nature, but the seeds of ecocentrism had always been running through human societies. Thus, this book not only emphasizes the “unity of life” but also reveals the inherent unity of all hues of ecocentrism. The...
This book contains a thorough and unique record of recent advances in the important scientific fields fluid–structure interaction, acoustics and control of priority interest in the academic community and also in an industrial context regarding new engineering designs. It updates advances in these fields by presenting state-of-the-art developments and achievements since the previous Book published by Springer in 2018 after the 4th FSSIC Symposium. This book is unique within the related literature investigating advances in these fields because it addresses them in a complementary way and thereby enhances cross-fertilization between them, whereas other books treat these fields separately.
Latin America has among the world's highest homicide rates. The author analyzes the illicit organizations, complicit and weak states, and territorial competition that generate today's violent homicidal ecologies.
The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.
The American Law Institute and UNIDROIT (International Institute for the Unification of Private Law) are preeminent organizations working toward the clarification and advancement of the procedural rules of law. Recognizing the need for a 'universal' set of procedures that would transcend national jurisdictional rules and facilitate the resolution of disputes arising from transnational commercial transactions, Principles and Rules of Transnational Civil Procedure was launched to create a set of acceptable rules and principles that would be accepted globally. This work strives to reduce uncertainty for parties obliged to litigate in unfamiliar surroundings and promote fairness in judicial judgments. As recognized standards of civil justice, Principles and Rules of Transnational Civil Procedure can be used in pleadings, development, and presentation of evidence, legal argument, and tribunal judgments such as arbitration. The result is a work which significantly contributes to the promotion of a universal rule of law norm.
A succinct and disturbing account of the role of the Spanish Right in the course of the twentieth century.
Continuity and Change examines the growth of fictional television in five major European countries. Focusing on drama and comedy, it analyzes the degree to which an increase in the production of fictional television and the extension of fictional television's presence into prime time has led to higher production costs and an emphasis on family-oriented programming.
