Experiencias de movilidad: Una ventana al mundo es una recopilación de 24 textos escritos por estudiantes, egresados y egresadas de la Universidad de Colima, quienes nos comparten sus vivencias de intercambio nacional e internacional. A través de sus letras podemos viajar a diferentes destinos, probar la paella española, el kimchi coreano, caminar por las calles de Veracruz o por los caminos nevados de Canadá, entre muchas otras vivencias. En estos relatos sin filtro, cada estudiante nos permite mirar a través de sus ojos lo que es adentrarse a otras culturas, sistemas de evaluación, climas y vivir con personas de diferentes países. Con una honestidad digna de reconocerse, los textos están plagados de nostalgia por México, de reconocer y añorar el hogar a miles de kilómetros de distancia; nos invitan a estar en la disposición de seguir sorprendiéndonos por las aventuras y hacen hincapié en la enorme oportunidad que representó esta experiencia. El común denominador de estos relatos es el agradecimiento, no sólo a su Alma Mater, sino también a sus padres y a un país que les ha permitido formarse y prepararse para su desarrollo académico en lugares al interior de México o en países como Perú, Chile, Italia, India, Alemania, España, Corea del Sur, Canadá y Tailandia. Por primera vez podemos escuchar las voces de estudiantes que comparten su sentir a un nivel personal, académico y cultural. Es un libro que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia de abrir la mente a lo nuevo, a lo desconocido, a observar sin juzgar y a disfrutar la vida en ambientes multiculturales.

This anthology will broaden our understanding of mentoring within kindergarten, primary and secondary school, and higher education. The book’s contributors have researched various practices and present different scientific inroads and research approaches as well as ethical issues connected to mentoring. In addition, they provide an increased level of theoretical in-depth knowledge from the different mentoring fields, and research that offers perspectives and understandings of the field of professional mentoring that have not been fully explored in the past. The anthology will be of interest primarily to those in the teaching professions, but its theoretical approaches and practical examples will also enhance the knowledge and quality of the mentoring field in general. This book will also be relevant for PhD and master students, and mentoring students, as well as administrators, teachers and mentors in schools and kindergartens, and others involved in mentoring.

Creating antibacterial surfaces is the primary approach in preventing the occurrence and diffusion of clinical infections and foodborne diseases as well as in contrasting the propagation of pandemics in everyday life. Proper surface engineering can inhibit microorganism spread and biofilm formation, can contrast antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and can avoid cross-contamination from a contaminated surface to another and eventually to humans. For these reasons, antibacterial surfaces play a key role in many applications, ranging from biomedicine to food and beverage materials, textiles, and objects with frequent human contact. The incorporation of antimicrobial agents within a surface or their addition onto a surface are very effective strategies to achieve this aim and to properly modify many other surface properties at the same time. In this framework, this Special Issue collects research studying several materials and methods related to the antibacterial properties of surfaces for different applications and discussions about the environmental and human-safety aspects.

Ce premier travail collectif jamais publié en France sur Johann Nestroy trouve son origine dans un colloque international organisé par les universités de Paris III et de Paris IV dans le cadre de la préparation au concours de l'agrégation. Il a permis de mieux faire connaître au pu­blic français un grand dramaturge autrichien auquel s'attache à tort une réputation d'auteur populaire et régio­naliste.

This book is aimed at every person who likes science and art, who is able to enjoy everything that may be beautiful and artistic in the representation of scientific observation, and in a particular way in microscopic observation, with special interestTherefore, it is transmitted in a classroom, for what is illustrated on a blackboard during a course on biology of cells, tissues and organs, or for what is possible to perform with chalk on a blackboard with exclusively plastic motifs.

Die visuellen Welten des Stummfilms sind vielfach durch ornamentale Oberflächen geprägt: Interieurs wie Vorhänge, Teppiche, Tapeten, Möbel, Lampen und ebenso Kostüme. Neben der Funktion als Schmuck im diegetischen Raum erfasst das Ornamentale auch die Beziehung zwischen Figur und Umgebung sowie die Komposition des Filmbildes als Ganzes. Galt das Ornament lange als ‹konservative› Form, so hat sich die ihm innewohnende Abstraktionskraft als ein Prinzip der Moderne erwiesen. Entsprechend zeichnet die Studie an ausgewählten Fallbeispielen film- und stilhistorisch nach, welche Rolle ornamentgeprägte Filmbilder für die Ausformung einer innovativen Filmsprache spielten und welche Ideen des zeitgenössischen Ornament-Diskurses sich in Kunst- und Filmtheorie damit verbinden. Das Buch zeigt, wie Prinzipien des Ornamentierens – vom Kino um 1910 bis hin zur Hochphase der Avantgarde in den 1920er Jahren – in die Inszenierung des Verhältnisses von Fläche und Raum eingreifen und eine neuartige Qualität des filmisch Visuellen schaffen.

Un volume edito solo in italiano, in cui il noto filosofo americano condensa il suo percorso che si misura con le grandi questioni dell'etica, della verità, del soggetto, della politica. Senza essere scettico, il suo approccio soppesa le ragioni di una scelta filosofica riconoscendo che altre scelte hanno anc'hesse buone ragioni per essere fatte valere: è ciò che egli chiama la ""legge della conservazione dell'imbarazzo"". Proprio per il fatto che la filosofia affronta problemi reali, e dunque ...

The Routledge History of Disease draws on innovative scholarship in the history of medicine to explore the challenges involved in writing about health and disease throughout the past and across the globe, presenting a varied range of case studies and perspectives on the patterns, technologies and narratives of disease that can be identified in the past and that continue to influence our present. Organized thematically, chapters examine particular forms and conceptualizations of disease, covering subjects from leprosy in medieval Europe and cancer screening practices in twentieth-century USA to the ayurvedic tradition in ancient India and the pioneering studies of mental illness that took place in nineteenth-century Paris, as well as discussing the various sources and methods that can be used to understand the social and cultural contexts of disease.

Sowohl auf sprachlogischer als auch auf ontologischer Ebene wies Luthers Entfaltung des christologischen Lehrstückes der Idiomenkommunikation von Beginn an die Gestalt einer wechselseitigen Mitteilung der Eigenschaften zwischen göttlicher und menschlicher Natur auf. Solch ein eigenartiger Bezug auf ein relativ traditionelles theologisches Element ließ den Reformator eine Art von Theopaschie postulieren, die kaum vereinbar mit den meisten altkirchlichen Dogmen sowie mit den klassischen philosophischen Axiomen war. Dennoch bildete sie den Kern seiner Theologie. Dieser Punkt motivierte stark ablehnenden Reaktionen einerseits, strenge Verteidigungen andererseits. Eine wenigstens nominale Kompromisslösung konnten die Fronten erst mit der Konkordienformel (1577) erreichen. In dieser Stiftung einer reichsrechtlich anerkennbaren und theologisch glaubwürdigen Konfession bestand ein notwendiger Schritt zur Entstehung einer reifen lutherischen Kirche und Orthodoxie, aber zu welchem Preis? Offensichtlich waren die Mittel des vororthodoxistischen Luthertums unzureichend, um seine Bedürfnisse in Treue zum Wortlaut Luthers abzudecken. Von allem, was am Ende verloren ging, kann man jedoch den Spuren noch folgen. Diese Untersuchung zielt genau darauf ab, die Komplexität von den geflochtenen Linien zurückzugeben, die zur Entstehung des anscheinend einfachen Ergebnisses einer Kompromisslösung führten – in der Überzeugung, ihr Echo sei genauso mächtig wie das Echo von dem, was bleiben konnte.

The technological advancement of our civilization has created a consumer society expanding faster than the planet's resources allow, with our resource and energy needs rising exponentially in the past century. Securing the future of the human race will require an improved understanding of the environment as well as of technological solutions, mindsets and behaviors in line with modes of development that the ecosphere of our planet can support. Sustainable development offers an approach that would be practical to fuse with the managerial strategies and assessment tools for policy and decision makers at the regional planning level.

Multisystemic Resilience brings together for the first time in one volume a wide range of resilience experts. By placing side-by-side the writing of psychologists, epigeneticists, ecologists, architects, disaster specialists, engineers, sociologists and public health researchers (to name just a few of the disciplines represented), this innovative volume provides insights into how to research resilience across systems and the many possible solutions to problems that threaten the physical and mental health of individuals, the wellbeing of our communities and the sustainability of our planet. Every chapter provides a detailed review of resilience from one disciplinary perspective, then uses examples drawn from research and case studies to show that thinking about the resilience of multiple systems is a better way to understand processes of change and sustainability.
