Reflecting the diverse and profound changes triggered by the latest
wave of economic globalization, this book highlights various
governance responses at national, regional and global levels. The
topics covered are wide-ranging and include economic history and
development, European integration, exchange rate arrangements,
industrial and labor economics, international cooperation and
multilateralism, and public choice. The book is divided into three
parts: The first part, which contains contributions by Barry
Eichengreen and Marc Flandreau, is devoted to economic history. The
second part examines open economy macroeconomics with a focus on
Europe, including contributions by Jurgen von Hagen and Paul
Krugman. The third part presents contributions to international
political economy, and related interdisciplinary topics. This
Festschrift is written in honor of Jorge Braga de Macedo, Professor
Emeritus of Economics at the Nova School of Business and Economics
and a distinguished Portuguese academic whose work has an
impressive global reach. The contributions, written by a selection
of international authors, deal with his oeuvre covering the wide
range of topics broached in this book, as his publication record
amply attests.
This book highlights the latest research on practical applications
of computational biology and bioinformatics, and addresses emerging
experimental and sequencing techniques that are posing new
challenges for bioinformatics and computational biology.
Successfully applying these techniques calls for new algorithms and
approaches from fields such as statistics, data mining, machine
learning, optimization, computer science, and artificial
intelligence. In response to these challenges, we have seen the
rise of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists with a
strong background in the biological and computational
sciences.These proceedings include 21 papers covering many
different subfields of bioinformatics and computational biology.
Focusing on interdisciplinary applications that combine e.g.
bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, and system biology, they are
intended to promote the collaboration of scientists from different
research groups and with different backgrounds (computer
scientists, mathematicians, biologists) to reach breakthrough
solutions and overcome the challenges outlined above.

This book features 21 papers spanning many different sub-fields in
bioinformatics and computational biology, presenting the latest
research on the practical applications to promote fruitful
interactions between young researchers in different areas related
to the field. Next-generation sequencing technologies, together
with other emerging and diverse experimental techniques, are
evolving rapidly, creating numerous types of omics data. These, in
turn, are creating new challenges for the expanding fields of
bioinformatics and computational biology, which seek to analyse,
process, integrate and extract meaningful knowledge from such data.
This calls for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as
databases, statistics, data mining, machine learning, optimization,
computer science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Clearly, biology is increasingly becoming a science of information,
requiring tools from the computational sciences. To address these
challenges, we have seen the emergence of a new generation of
interdisciplinary scientists with a strong background in the
biological and computational sciences. In this context, the
interaction of researchers from different scientific areas is, more
than ever, vital to boost the research efforts in the field and
contribute to the training of the new generation of
interdisciplinary scientists.
This book introduces the latest international research in the
fields of bioinformatics and computational biology. It includes
various studies in the area of machine learning in bioinformatics,
systems biology, omics data analysis and mining, biomedical
applications and sequences, which were selected by an international
committee and presented at the 12th International Conference on
Practical Applications of Computational Biology &
Bioinformatics held in Toledo in June 2018.
Biological and biomedical research are increasingly driven by
experimental techniques that challenge our ability to analyse,
process and extract meaningful knowledge from the underlying data.
The impressive capabilities of next-generation sequencing
technologies, together with novel and constantly evolving, distinct
types of omics data technologies, have created an increasingly
complex set of challenges for the growing fields of Bioinformatics
and Computational Biology. The analysis of the datasets produced
and their integration call for new algorithms and approaches from
fields such as Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine
Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence. Clearly, Biology is more and more a science of
information and requires tools from the computational sciences. In
the last few years, we have seen the rise of a new generation of
interdisciplinary scientists with a strong background in the
biological and computational sciences. In this context, the
interaction of researchers from different scientific fields is,
more than ever, of foremost importance in boosting the research
efforts in the field and contributing to the education of a new
generation of Bioinformatics scientists. The PACBB'17 conference
was intended to contribute to this effort and promote this fruitful
interaction, with a technical program that included 39 papers
spanning many different sub-fields in Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology. Further, the conference promoted the
interaction of scientists from diverse research groups and with a
distinct background (computer scientists, mathematicians,
biologists).
This book aims to promote the interaction among the scientific
community to discuss applications of CS/AI with an
interdisciplinary character, exploring the interactions between
sub-areas of CS/AI, bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, and systems
biology. The success of bioinformatics in recent years has been
prompted by research in molecular biology and molecular medicine in
several initiatives. This year’s technical program presents both
high quality and diversity, with contributions in well-established
and evolving areas of research. The PACBB’23 technical program
has selected 9 full papers in the main track and, as in past
editions, it will be special issues in ranked journals. This
symposium is organized by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the
University of Minho (Portugal). The authors would like to thank all
the contributing authors, the members of the program committee,
national associations (AEPIA, APPIA), and the sponsors (AIR
Institute).
This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in biology,
medicine and health sciences and bioinformatics. The success of
bioinformatics and computational biology in recent years has been
driven by research through computational tools and techniques that
are essential for data analysis in modern biology and medicine.
Systems biology is a related research area that has been replacing
the reductionist view that dominated biology research in the last
decades, requiring the coordinated efforts of biological
researchers with those related to data analysis, mathematical
modelling, computer simulation and optimization. The accumulation
and exploitation of large-scale databases prompt new computational
technology and for research into these issues. In this context,
many widely successful computational models and tools used by
biologists in these initiatives, such as clustering and
classification methods for gene expression data, are based on
computer science/ artificial intelligence (CS/AI) techniques. In
fact, these methods have been helping in tasks related to knowledge
discovery, modelling and optimization tasks, aiming at the
development of computational models so that the response of
biological complex systems to any perturbation can be predicted.
This proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Practical
Applications of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (PACBB),
held in L'Aquila (Italy) from July 13 to 15, 2022, contains ten
original contributions of authors from many different countries
(Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and
UK) and different subfields in bioinformatics and computational
biology. It is also suitable for artificial intelligence
researchers interested in exploring applications in biology and
health sciences and computational models.
This book features novel research papers spanning many different
subfields in bioinformatics and computational biology, presenting
the latest research on the practical applications to promote
fruitful interactions between young researchers in different areas
related to the field. Clearly, biology is increasingly becoming a
science of information, requiring tools from the computational
sciences. To address these challenges, we have seen the emergence
of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists with a strong
background in the biological and computational sciences. PACBB'21
expects to contribute to this effort by encouraging a successful
collaboration of researchers in different areas related to
bioinformatics. The PACBB'21 technical program included 17 papers
covering many different subfields in bioinformatics and
computational biology. Therefore, this conference, held in
Salamanca (Spain), definitely promotes the collaboration of
scientists from different research groups and with different
backgrounds (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists) to
reach breakthrough solutions for these challenges.
Bioinformatics Algorithms: Design and Implementation in Python
provides a comprehensive book on many of the most important
bioinformatics problems, putting forward the best algorithms and
showing how to implement them. The book focuses on the use of the
Python programming language and its algorithms, which is quickly
becoming the most popular language in the bioinformatics field.
Readers will find the tools they need to improve their knowledge
and skills with regard to algorithm development and implementation,
and will also uncover prototypes of bioinformatics applications
that demonstrate the main principles underlying real world
applications.
Word Mingas is an encompassing study of oralitures--multilayered
cultural knowledge shared through the power of orality--and written
literatures by authors from Colombia and other regions in the
hemisphere who self-identify as Indigenous. In consequential
dialogue with the most recent theories of decoloniality and
interculturality, the book weaves and compares two threads of
literary critique Rocha Vivas names as oralitegraphies and mirrored
visions. The study focuses on texts produced from the early 1990s
to the present, and offers productive avenues to discuss,
understand, and foster dialogue with the wide array of
symbolic-literary systems of the original peoples. Rocha Vivas
offers a valuable contribution to the much-needed dialogue on the
basic rights of self-representation, self-determination, and the
coexistence of multiple systems of representation and identity.
Globalization and Agriculture: Redefining Unequal Development
focuses on the development of national agriculture of nine
countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia from two different and
complementary angles. One angle is the opportunities created by
globalization for agricultural production and how the countries
have dealt with the expansion of the world, as a consequence of the
world market. The other angle is the social and economic
consequences of globalization for agricultural and rural
development. The case studies included in this book prove that the
contradictory meanings referred above are indeed representative of
different facets and features of globalization.
