Véritable voyage au coeur de la Colombie catholique et conservatrice, González nous décrit toute la beauté des paysages andins et les fins intérieurs motivant cette randonnée. S'identifiant comme simple aficionado à la philosophie, il considère n'être compromis à aucune position béatique en ce domaine. Il utilise à la fois l'humour pour dénoncer ou ridiculiser subtilement les vices et les défauts des Colombiens qu'il aime, et le langage populaire pour diffuser et rendre accessible sa réflexion philosophique. Combien d'auteurs en philosophie peuvent se targuer de faire rire et d'utiliser un langage populaire ? La philosophie normalement perçue comme un discours sérieux et raisonné ne laisse aucune place au rire et aux explications simples, sauf chez Fernando González.

Cette bande dessinée raconte quatre histoires réelles du monde du sport. Leurs héros ne sont pas de grands vainqueurs, mais des personnes en chair et en os qui, bien que n'ayant pas atteint leur but, ont su nous transmettre des qualités essentielles qui servent pour la vie personnelle et sociale. Tout au long de ces pages nous trouverons des exemples dignes d'éloges de dépassement, d'effort, d'amitié désintéressée, de noblesse et de loyauté, d'humour et d'esprit sportif dans la défaite. Toutes ces vertus font partie des valeurs que le sport se doit de stimuler et qui sont beaucoup plus importantes qu'une victoire.

Komiki honetan, kirolaren munduko benetako lau istorio azaltzen zaizkigu. Beren protagonistak ez dira garaile handiak, hezur-haragizko pertsonak baizik, beren helburua lortu ez arren, funtsezko balioak helarazi zizkiguten pertsonak, geure barruari nahiz jendarteari begiratzeko dugun moduari eragiten baitiote. Komikiaren orrietan barrena, argi ikusi ahal izango dugu zer den nork bere burua gainditzea, jo eta ke aritzea, adiskidetasun desinteresatua, prestutasuna, fideltasuna, umorea, bai eta porrot-uneetan kiroltasunez jokatzea ere. Bertute horiek guztiak kirolak sustatu behar ditu, garaipenak berak baino garrantzi handiagoa dutelako.
This book draws upon Vygotsky's idea of perezhivanie, emotions and imagination, and introduces the concepts of subjective sense and subjective configuration. These concepts are crucial for explaining and understanding children's development from a cultural-historical perspective. A book which theorises the relations between the social and the individual through a study of a child's perezhivanie, which analyses emotions more holistically, and advances the concepts of subjective sense and subjective configuration, is much needed. This book examines the complexity of human development through a comprehensive elaboration of these concepts, allowing for new insights to be put forward. It doesn't always follow the chronological order of Vygotsky's publications, as many of his works remained in the family archives until the 1980s, when his Selected Works were first published in Russian. There has long been a need for a contemporary book on the scholarly treatment of perezhevanie, emotions, and subjectivity, and as such this book revisits dominant representations of these concepts and then puts forward new ways of conceptualising and using them in empirical research. The chapters cover a broad range of case studies where the concepts of perezhivanie, emotions and imagination and subjective sense and subjective configuration are used to give new empirical and theoretical insights into the study of human development.
This book covers the most recent advances in all the topics with which researchers and professionals need to be familiar in order to obtain a better understanding of, and to better exploit, beneficial plant-microbe interactions. The use of microorganisms for agriculture and environmental applications is gaining importance worldwide to improve crop performance, but also for other environmental applications, such as bioremediation in chemically polluted soils. The search for an equilibrium between fundamental and applied aspects makes this book useful for professionals at various levels in the value chain of the "microbial biofertilizers". Challenges of comercializing biofertilizers involve efficiency of the products and safety for human health and the environment, topics that have paid central attention in this book. Students, scientists and biofertilizers developers will find updated and comprehensive information about the different aspects to be considered to address a successful introduction of biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture and environmental actions.
This book presents advances in alternative swarm development that have proved to be effective in several complex problems. Swarm intelligence (SI) is a problem-solving methodology that results from the cooperation between a set of agents with similar characteristics. The study of biological entities, such as animals and insects, manifesting social behavior has resulted in several computational models of swarm intelligence. While there are numerous books addressing the most widely known swarm methods, namely ant colony algorithms and particle swarm optimization, those discussing new alternative approaches are rare. The focus on developments based on the simple modification of popular swarm methods overlooks the opportunity to discover new techniques and procedures that can be useful in solving problems formulated by the academic and industrial communities. Presenting various novel swarm methods and their practical applications, the book helps researchers, lecturers, engineers and practitioners solve their own optimization problems.
This book presents a synthesis of the research carried out in the Laboratory of Signal Processing and Communications (LaPSyC), CONICET, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina, since 2003. It presents models and techniques widely used by the signal processing community, focusing on low-complexity methodologies that are scalable to different applications. It also highlights measures of the performance and impact of each compensation technique. The book is divided into three parts: 1) basic models 2) compensation techniques and 3) applications in advanced technologies. The first part addresses basic architectures of transceivers, their component blocks and modulation techniques. It also describes the performance to be taken into account, regardless of the distortions that need to be compensated. In the second part, several schemes of compensation and/or reduction of imperfections are explored, including linearization of power amplifiers, compensation of the characteristics of analog-to- digital converters and CFO compensation for OFDM modulation. The third and last part demonstrates the use of some of these techniques in modern wireless-communication systems, such as full-duplex transmission, massive MIMO schemes and Internet of Things applications.
El libro, más allá de ser un mero soporte textual, debe ser considerado como una obra de arte en sí misma y como un medio de comunicación a muy diferentes niveles. Es un artefacto físico en cuya materialidad intervienen las más variadas técnicas; pero también es un espacio en el que lo textual y lo icónico interactúan, posibilitando un ámbito de mutua influencia entre literatura y artes plásticas. Nuestro propósito es presentar el libro desde sus más variadas dimensiones, ofreciendo un recorrido lo más completo y novedoso: desde su carácter material hasta el valor simbólico que lo rodea; desde su concepción más práctica hasta la más artística; desde su función como medio para conocer otros espacios y tiempos hasta su capacidad para adaptarse a los retos de la era digital.
The book is a comprehensive compilation of the most recent advances in the practical approach of the use of microbial probiotics for agriculture. Unlike the rest of the publications about biofertilizers, this book bridges the gap between the lab studies (molecular, physiological, omics, etc.) and the agronomic application.
