Sobre el libro: La Revoluci n Bolivariana es un proceso en marcha y
est creando colectivamente y democr ticamente, paso a paso, golpe a
golpe un nuevo modelo de estado. El estado bolivariano es aut ntico
se fundamenta en la historia, las ideas solidarias de Sim n Bol var
y la prioridad de los derechos humanos b sicos de "seguridad y
subsistencia" de todos los venezolanos sin exclusiones. Es
revolucionario primero porque incorpora participativamente a un
sector mayoritario de la poblaci n -incluyendo a los pobres y a los
militares-- que hab an sido hist ricamente marginados y excluidos
de la pol tica, la econom a y la sociedad. Segundo, porque el nuevo
modelo de "Seguridad y Subsistencia" es lo opuesto a su predecesor
hist rico: el modelo de "Seguridad Nacional" o "Pacto de Punto
Fijo." La "Seguridad Nacional" fue impuesta desde los Estados
Unidos durante la guerra fr a a toda su rea de influencia y ha
causado estragos: guerras, muertes, torturas y la violaci n sistem
tica de los derechos humanos en Venezuela, en Latinoam rica y en
muchas partes del mundo. Tercero, porque el modelo bolivariano
ofrece una respuesta democr tica y solidaria al capitalismo salvaje
que propone el neo-liberalismo en la actualidad. Venezuela hoy nos
ofrece algo radicalmente diferente, es "la posibilidad optimista"
de una democracia nueva, solidaria, soberana, socialista, moderna,
no dogm tica y por qu no, ecol gica.
This study aims to understand the centrality of human rights in
Venezuela today and what philosophical and political models it has
proposed.
In Researching Yugoslavia and its Aftermath, a common thread is the
authors' path through the time and space context in which fieldwork
has taken place. Accordingly, this collection tackles problems that
have always existed but have not been dealt with in a single
volume. In particular, it examines a range of methodological
questions arising from the contributors' shared concerns, and thus
the obstacles and solutions characterising the relationship between
researchers and their objects of study. Being an interdisciplinary
project, this book brings together highly regarded historians,
sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, cultural and
social theorists, as well as experts in architecture and
communication studies. They share a belief that the awareness of
the researcher's own position in fieldwork is a precondition of
utmost significance to comprehend the evolution of objects of
study, and hence to ensure transparency and ultimate credibility of
the findings. Moreover, the contributors come from diverse
backgrounds, including authors from the former Yugoslavia and
others who have made their way to the region after starting their
research careers; some from universities in the area, others from
institutions in the Global North. Here, they explore cross-cutting
issues such as the repercussions of gender, nationality,
institutional affiliation and the consequences of their entry into
the field. This is examined in terms of the results of the research
and the ethical aspect of the relationship with the object of
study, as well as the implications of the chosen time framework in
the methodological design and the clash between this decision and
the interests of the actors studied.
In Breastfeeding made Easy renowned paediatrician and
father-of-three Carlos Gonzalez, author of Kiss Me! How to raise
your children with love and My Child Won't Eat!, brings his warmth
and positivity to a subject close to his heart: breastfeeding. In
his characteristic friendly style he explains how breastfeeding is
a woman's right, as an integral part of her normal sexual and
reproductive life. With this clear perspective he carefully
explains how breastfeeding works, and gently debunks many of the
myths that still surround breastfeeding, while also offering sound
practical suggestions that will empower mothers to find the answers
to questions they have and seek out appropriate help. The author's
own experience of supporting breastfeeding mothers and their
babies, coupled with his scientific understanding of human
lactation, are combined in a book that is an accessible,
confidence-inspiring companion for every breastfeeding mother.
On the Dark Side of the Archive examines nineteenth-century nation
building through narratives that are not part of the romantic or
realist traditions, specifically those associated with the critique
of traditional ideas often portrayed in Decadentism and modernismo.
The study focuses on the "non-canonical" works of
turn-of-the-century authors-including Jose Maria Vargas Vila,
Horacio Quiroga, Clemente Palma, and Jose Marti-and concludes with
a study that compares the literary portrayal of doomed societies in
the nineteenth century with the work of contemporary authors, such
as Fernando Vallejo. Gonzalez Espitia establishes a critique of the
concept of nation building in the romantic narratives of South
America. These narratives are generally characterized by underlying
erotic discourses meant to set the recently liberated countries of
Latin America on a path toward class harmony, racial integration,
socially beneficial marriage, and demographic expansion. An
analysis of nation-building narratives understood as erotic
discourses must also consider novels that manifest a dynamics of
self-destruction. The authors included in this book subvert the
idea of "nation" as a clear, positive, and fruitful space, bringing
a dose of reality to this elusive concept. These authors design
alternative futures for Latin America, futures that were seen as
fruitless, obscure, contemptible, or doomed.

While mentorship has been shown to be critical in helping graduate
students persist and complete their studies, and enter upon and
succeed in their academic careers, the under-representation of
faculty of color and women in higher education greatly reduces the
opportunities for graduate students from these selfsame groups to
find mentors of their race, ethnicity or gender. Recognizing that
mentoring across gender, race and ethnicity inserts levels of
complexity to this important process, this book both fills a major
gap in the literature and provides an in-depth look at successful
mentorships between senior white and under-represented scholars and
emerging women scholars and scholars of color. Following a
comprehensive review of the literature, this book presents chapters
written by scholars who share in-depth descriptions of their
cross-gender and/or cross-race/ethnicity mentoring relationships.
Each article is co-authored by mentors who are established senior
scholars and their former proteges with whom they have continuing
collegial relationships. Their descriptions provide rich insights
into the importance of these relationships, and for developing the
academic pipeline for women scholars and scholars of color. Drawing
on a comparative analysis of the literature and of the narrative
chapters, the editors conclude by identifying the key
characteristics and pathways for developing successful mentoring
relationships across race, ethnicity or gender, and by offering
recommendations for institutional policy and individual mentoring
practice. For administrators and faculty concerned about diversity
in graduate programs and academic departments, they offer clear
models of how to nurture the productive scholars and teachers
needed for tomorrow's demographic of students; for
under-represented students, they offer compelling narratives about
the rewards and challenges of good mentorship to inform their
expectations and the relationships they will develop as proteges.
Parents everywhere worry about what their babies and toddlers will
and won't eat, and whether they are getting the nutrients they
need. In My Child Won't Eat Dr Carlos Gonzalez, a renowned
paediatrician and father of three, tackles these fears, exploring
why some children refuse food, the pitfalls of growth charts, and
how growth and activity affect a child's appetite and nutritional
needs. He explains how eating problems start and how they can be
avoided, and reassures parents that their only job is to provide
healthy food choices: trying to force a child to eat more is a
recipe for disaster and can lead to tears and tantrums and even
health problems in later life. With real-life case studies, and a
calm and practical tone, My Child Won't Eat will answer many
questions parents have about feeding their young children, from
breastfeeding and introducing solid foods, to encouraging older
children to eat vegetables.
Syphilis was a prevalent affliction in the era of the Americas'
colonization, creating widespread anxiety that is indicated in the
period's literature across numerous fields. Reflecting Spaniards'
political prejudices of the period, it was alternately labeled "mal
frances" or "el mal de las Indias." Sifilografia offers a cultural
history that traces syphilis and its consequences in the
transatlantic Spanish-speaking world throughout the long eighteenth
century. Juan Carlos Gonzalez Espitia charts interrelated literary,
artistic, medical, and governmental discourses, exploring how fears
of the disease and the search for its cure mobilized a transoceanic
dialogue that forms an underside of Enlightenment narratives of
progress.Through a narrative revealing the transformation and
retooling of ideas related to syphilis as a bodily contagion,
Gonzalez Espitia demonstrates the Spanish-speaking world's crucial
relevance to a global understanding of the period in the context of
current reassessments of Enlightenment thought. Broad in its scope,
the book incorporates an extensive corpus of medical treatises,
literary essays, poems, novels, art, and governmental documents.
The rich overlapping matrix of authors and texts broached subvert
the idea of a homogeneous interpretation of syphilis and
contributes to the rediscovery of the wide-ranging historical,
cultural, and philosophical impact of this disease in the
Spanish-speaking world. Sifilografia seeks to open a Productive
dialogue with other area studies about the disparate meanings of
science and Enlightenment.

The goal of this research is to show in a simulated environment
that security of the network can be strengthen by first fielding
the trust system and second, by dividing a network into smaller
clusters, called "domains," in order to isolate anomalies or
intrusions detected. In order to show this, a mathematical model of
the problem will be built and translated into a software tool that
at the end will receive real-life-network data as input. This
program uses real world power grid representative data, outputs a
network configuration that has used the concepts described above of
network compartmentalization and strategic placing of trust nodes.
As a result, this new network configuration ensures safe day-to-day
operations by minimizing the effects in case of an attack or
equipment malfunction of the system by subdividing the network into
domains. Each domain protected by a trust node(s) without violating
timing constraints.
