This book brings together recent research by a group of specialists
in history and sociology to provide a new reading of the late
Franco dictatorship, especially in relation to its political
culture. The authors focus on the election of local, trade union
and national representatives, the work of the first Spanish
sociologists, the struggle over administrative reform, the role of
the media and the intellectuals, as well as the evolution of the
dictatorships political class and its response to the regimes
decline. Not only are the politics of the late dictatorship
scrutinised, but also the mechanisms that were deployed to control
the fast-changing society of the 1960s and 1970s. In examining the
late Franco period, the contributors do not believe that it
contained the seeds of Spains later democratisation, but maintain
that certain sectorial regime initiatives -- electoral and
political changes, an evolving discourse and an interest in
political processes outside Spain -- made many Spaniards aware of
the dictatorships contradictions and limitations, thereby
encouraging its subsequent political and social evolution. This
transformation is compared with the latter stages of the parallel
dictatorship in Portugal. The great majority of Spaniards felt that
the embrace of democratic freedoms and integration into the
European Community was the only way forward during the Transition.
But the shift from dictatorship to democracy from the 1960s onwards
in Spain needs to be understood in relation to the multitude of
political and social changes that took place -- despite the
opposition of Franco and the bunker mentality of the regime. These
changes manifested in a complex interaction between internal and
external factors, which eventually resulted in the transformation
of Spanish society itself.

This Open Access book is an excellent synthesis of the initial and
continuing preparation for Mathematics Teaching in Colombia, Costa
Rica, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, from which comparative
analyses can be made that show similarities and differences, and
highlight various perspectives. In August 2012, a workshop of the
Capacity and Networking Project (CANP) of the International
Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) was held in Costa
Rica. This CANP brought together for two weeks a group of 66
Mathematics educators, mathematicians, university administrators,
and elementary and secondary teachers from Colombia, Venezuela, the
Dominican Republic, Panama and Costa Rica. The goal was to promote
progress in Mathematics Education in the region; as such it was a
unique experience in the region. One of the most important results
of this event was the creation of the Mathematics Education Network
of Central America and the Caribbean (REDUMATE). It was organized
by persons associated with the Mathematics Education Reform Project
in Costa Rica (responsible for the most outstanding and innovative
curriculum reform in Latin America) and the Inter-American
Committee on Mathematics Education (IACME), which is an official
regional multinational organization affiliate of ICMI. This book
brings to the international Educational Community an important
collection of experiences and ideas in the Mathematics Education of
four countries of a region within the heart of the American
continent, a region that has been many times forgotten. The
dissemination of these results can promote the search for
international collaborative actions in a wider scale.
This book aims to clarify the priorities of the Sendai Framework
for the DRR 2015 - 2030, through gathering recent contributions
addressing the different ways researchers define, measure, reduce,
and manage risk in the challenge of the DRR. Beyond a discussion of
the different definitions of disaster risk; this book provides
contributions focused on optimization approaches that support the
decision-making process in the challenge of managing DRR problems
considering emerging disaster risks in the medium and long term, as
well as national and local applications. Some of the topics covered
include network flow problems, stochastic optimization, discrete
optimization, multi-objective programming, approximation
techniques, and heuristic approaches. The target audience of the
book includes professionals who work in Linear Programming,
Logistics, Optimization (Mathematical, Robust, Stochastic),
Management Science, Mathematical Programming, Networks, Scheduling,
Simulation, Supply Chain Management, Sustainability, and similar
areas. It can be useful for researchers, academics, graduate
students, and anyone else doing research in the field

En Argentina el 75 por ciento del territorio se halla en
condiciones de aridez o semiaridez. En los ultimos anos se ha
producido un corrimiento de la actividad ganadera hacia zonas
marginales debido a la expansion de la agricultura, lo que desplazo
a las especies forrajeras hacia una gran heterogeneidad ambiental.
Esto obligo a la busqueda de especies y variedades de buena calidad
forrajera y alta productividad que se adaptaran a los nuevos
ambientes, los cuales en general presentan mayor deficiencia
hidrica y temperaturas extremas. Entre las especies perennes que se
introdujeron y estudiaron se destacan Panicum coloratum y P.
virgatum. En este libro se muestran estudios realizados en la
region semiarida central de Argentina donde se evaluan cultivares
de P. coloratum, P. virgatum y otras forrajeras de interes, en
cuanto a produccion de forraje, porcentaje de proteina bruta,
dormicion de la semilla, implantacion y produccion de
biocombustibles.
Este libro recoge estudios monograficos en homenaje al profesor
Emilio Suarez de la Torre, sobre religiosidad y supersticion -en
particular la magia, pero tambien la astrologia- en la Grecia
Antigua. Un grupo de ellos se centran en el estudio de los dioses y
heroes griegos, desde la perspectiva mitica y literaria y la
cultual. El ultimo apartado se dedica a la cuestion de la
religiosidad y el ateismo en la filosofia y la religion.
Esta obra recoge trabajos, en el ambito de la Peninsula Iberica e
Hispanoamerica, que son resultado de la labor de varios grupos de
investigacion dedicados a la profundizacion en el estudio de la
tradicion clasica. La atencion se centra en algunos autores muy
conocidos como Gil Vicente, Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega,
Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora o Pedro Peralta y Barnuevo. Otros
autores, cuyo reconocimiento ha sido menor, como es el caso de
Manuel de Faria e Sousa, Alvaro de Cadaval, Lorenzo de Zamora,
Gregorio Lopez Pinto, Jose Rivilla Bonet o Jose Fernandez Madrid,
son tambien estudiados, por su importancia en la valoracion de lo
clasico. Todos los estudios se centran en el arco temporal que va
del siglo XVI, con el gran auge de la tradicion clasica, a los
inicios del siglo XIX, cuando entra en crisis ante el avance del
Romanticismo.
Swift's A Modest Proposal has always aroused the interest not just
of literary critics, but also of linguists and pragmatists. Within
the latter approaches, the study of irony, and more concretely, the
intentions and attitudes that must have guided the production of
such an intricate work, have always been paramount. However, it
seems that within pragmatics the analysis has been restricted so
far to the 1729 work itself. In the present author's view, it is
interesting to contextualise this masterpiece of irony and satire
within Swift's wider writing on Ireland, an approach that remains
to be carried out. Accordingly, this work sets out to analyse a
selection of Swift's Irish Tracts, with a view to tracing the
evolution within Swift's literary production of his views and
attitudes towards the situation of his homeland. Although different
pragmatic approaches are applied, the emphasis is laid upon the
contributions that the relevance-theoretical framework and its
studies on irony may bring to the understanding of this particular
Tract. The works selected are meant to cover and also be
representative of the main phases currently distinguished within
Swift's writing on the "Irish Question". It is therefore hoped that
a deeper analysis of the former works by Swift on this topic will
provide new insights for a better understanding of A Modest
Proposal.
