I Love You Because I Love You

By: Sharon Joyce S. Valdez , Hector Martin I. Valdez

Dreams and aspirations, triumphs, and failures are aspects of family life that we normally encounter. The way we react and interpret those moments are greatly influenced by societal standards. But what if our family mechanics do not conform to the “norm” of our society? What are we going to do? Where do we start? How do we face the perception of other people? How do we counter our own biases? Living with a family member with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) does not conform to the norm of society. Cultural practices and traditions do not include autism in its design. The confusion and struggles of the members of the family is greatly magnified by the environment which is supposed to shelter and support it. This book is a simple record of an autism parents’ journey of discovery, struggles, and hard-earned triumphs to conquer an adversary that they cannot see but has a profound effect on the very foundation of their family. This book will give you a glimpse of the live observations and some background literature on the characteristics of a child with ASD. It will include: •Terms about ASD and their corresponding operational definitions •Proactive and creative approaches in solving obstacles •Practical teaching methods and behavioral modification techniques that may work for you •Reflections on philosophical thoughts on education related to ASD •Stories on ups and downs of taking care of a child diagnosed with ASD •Realizations on the different approaches that were used in addressing some of the profound characteristics of a child with ASD Experts are always saying that every child with ASD has unique fixations and manifestations thus there is no “one size fits all” approach. In line with this, this book may provide you with an idea or guide in approaching ASD. Although every child with ASD is unique, it may be inferred that they share similar characteristics but only different in degree of expression. Living with autism surely changes the mechanics of a family’s life but does not mean that it may hinder it to be a happy one.

Mycorrhiza Optimization Algorithm

By: Fevrier Valdez,Hector Carreon-Ortiz,Oscar Castillo

This book provides two new optimization algorithms to address real optimization problems. Optimization is a fundamental concept in engineering and science, and its applications are needed in many fields. From designing products and systems to developing algorithms and models, optimization plays a critical role in achieving efficient and effective solutions to complex problems. Optimization algorithms inspired by nature have proven effective in solving a wide range of problems, including those in engineering, finance, and machine learning. These algorithms are often used when traditional optimization techniques are impractical due to the size or complexity of the problem. In this book, we are presenting two new optimization algorithms inspired by plant roots and the Mycorrhiza Network. The first algorithm is called the Continuous Mycorrhiza Optimization Algorithm (CMOA), which was proposed based on the model of the Continuous Lotka-Volterra System Equations. The second algorithm is called the Discrete Mycorrhiza Optimization Algorithm (DMOA), which design based on the model of Discrete Lotka-Volterra System Equations. By mastering the proposed algorithms, the readers able to develop innovative solutions that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve performance in the corresponding field of work.

Echoes of Revolution: Nicaragua

By: Hector Garza,Maria-Tania Bandes-Becerra Weingarden

ECHOES OF REVOLUTION: NICARAGUA by Maria-Tania Bandes-Becerra Weingarden with Translations by Hector Garza. This book is broken up into five primary sections corresponding to very specific political climates in Nicaragua: The Colonial Period, Yanqui Imperialism, Sandinista, Democracy, and a segment that focuses on more contemporary trends within the democratic political temperament. Each chapter has a portion that discusses some political underscores of said era, some discussion on the theatre that emerges of said political era, and the ones that contain a translated work include a brief introduction to the playwright and play chosen to exemplify the political era discussed. The three plays in this volume are LOOK INTO MY EYES by Luis Harold Agurto, PEASANTS by Pablo Antonio Cuadra, and DARK ROOT OF THE SCREAM by Alfredo Valessi. This book is part of the Dreaming the Americas Series from NoPassport Press.

Cultural Foundations and Interventions in Latino/a Mental Health

History, Theory and within Group Differences

By: Hector Y. Adames,Nayeli Y. Chavez-Dueñas

Advancing work to effectively study, understand, and serve the fastest growing U.S. ethnic minority population, this volume explicitly emphasizes the racial and ethnic diversity within this heterogeneous cultural group. The focus is on the complex historical roots of contemporary Latino/as, their diversity in skin-color and physiognomy, racial identity, ethnic identity, gender differences, immigration patterns, and acculturation. The work highlights how the complexities inherent in the diverse Latino/a experience, as specified throughout the topics covered in this volume, become critical elements of culturally responsive and racially conscious mental health treatment approaches. By addressing the complexities, within-group differences, and racially heterogeneity characteristic of U.S. Latino/as, this volume makes a significant contribution to the literature related to mental health treatments and interventions.

Resisting Categories: Latin American and/or Latino?

By: Mari Carmen Ramirez,Tomas Ybarra-Frausto,Hector Olea

DIV This first volume of the Critical Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art series published by the International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, presents 168 crucial texts written by influential artists, critics, curators, journalists, and intellectuals whose writings shed light on questions relating to what it means to be "Latin American" and/or "Latino." Reinforced within a critical framework, the documents address converging issues, including: the construct of "Latin-ness" itself; the persistent longing for a continental identity; notions of Pan–Latin Americanism; the emergence of collections and exhibitions devoted specifically to "Latin American” or "Latino" art; and multicultural critiques of Latin American and Latino essentialism. The selected documents, many of which have never before been published in English, span from the late fifteenth century to the present day. They encompass key protagonists of this comprehensive history as well as unfamiliar figures, revealing previously unknown facets of the questions and issues at play. The book series complements the thousands of seminal documents now available through the ICAA Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art digital archive, http://icaadocs.mfah.org. Together they establish a much-needed intellectual foundation for the exhibition, collection, and interpretation of art produced in Latin America and among Latino populations in the United States. /div

Cultura y Corazón

A Decolonial Methodology for Community Engaged Research

By: Rosa D. Manzo,Lisceth Brazil-Cruz,Yvette G. Flores,Hector Rivera-Lopez

Cultura y Corazón is a research approach and practice that is rooted in the work of Latinx and Chicanx scholars and intellectuals. The book documents best practices for Community Based and Participatory Action Research (CBPAR), which is both culturally attuned and scientifically demonstrated. This methodology takes a decolonial approach to engaging community members in the research process and integrates critical feminist and indigenous epistemologies. Cultura y Corazón presents case studies from the authors’ work within the fields of education and health. It offers key strategies to working in partnership with marginalized Latinx communities that are grounded in deep respect for the communities’ cultures and lived experiences. This book is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners who want to work with vulnerable populations through a community-based approach that truly respects and integrates culture, values, and funds of knowledge.

Trafficking

Narcoculture in Mexico and the United States

By: Hector Amaya

In Trafficking Hector Amaya examines how the dramatic escalation of drug violence in Mexico in 2008 prompted new forms of participation in public culture in Mexico and the United States. He contends that, by becoming a site of national and transnational debate about the role of the state, this violence altered the modes publicness could take, transforming assumptions about freedom of expression and the rules of public participation. Amaya examines the practices of narcocorrido musicians who take advantage of digital production and distribution technologies to escape Mexican censors and to share music across the US-Mexico border, as well as anonymous bloggers whose coverage of trafficking and violence from a place of relative safety made them public heroes. These new forms of being in the public sphere, Amaya demonstrates, evolved to exceed the bounds of the state and traditional media sources, signaling the inadequacy of democratic theories of freedom and publicness to understand how violence shapes public discourse.
