Approaches to the concept of Trans-Subjectivity

By: Dimitri Ginev,Ian Coxon,Vicente Huici,Andrés Davila Cegerén,Juan R Coca,Susana Gómez-Redondo

Usually, understanding of the world has been divided between objective and subjective. Phenomenology and Philosophy of language also included the intersubjective in this comprehension. Some researchers have detected needing to go further and study a broader concept. The study of trans-subjectivity seeks to fill that gap and delve into a novel concept.

Exclusión "científica" del otro

estudio socio-educativo del racismo y la interculturalidad

By: Juan R. Coca,Jesús A. Valero Matas

La interculturalidad encuentra en el ámbito educativo un gran número de dificultades, una de ellas es la que proviene del mantenimiento de planteamientos excluyentes por parte de algunos ámbitos del saber. Es fundamental considerar al otro como un elemento de alteración de nuestra propia realidad y por ello un factor fundamental de crecimiento.

Plant Theory in Amazonian Literature

Plant Theory in Amazonian Literature

By: Juan R. Duchesne Winter

This book discusses new developments of plant studies and plant theory in the humanities and compares them to the exceptionally robust knowledge about plant life in indigenous traditions practiced to this day in the Amazonian region. Amazonian thinking, in dialogue with the thought of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Emanuele Coccia and others, can serve to bring plant theory in the humanities beyond its current focus on how the organic existence of plants is projected into culture. Contemporary Amazonian indigenous literature takes us beyond conventional theory and into the unsuspected reaches of vegetal networks. It shows that what matters about plants are not just their strictly biological and ecological projections, but the manner in which they interact with multiple species and cultural actors in continuously shifting bodies and points of view, by becoming-other, and fashioning a natural and social diplomacy in which humans participate along with non-humans.

Nature's Tapestry: Uncovering the Beauty and Importance of Biodiversity

By: Juan Armando Sánchez

We cannot separate human beings from biodiversity. Our vital functions and our health are synergistic with other species. The number of microorganisms we live with is greater than the total number of cells in our bodies. So, separation from biodiversity and its loss are the greatest threats to human survival, and the current model for human development affects our very lives. We must integrate marine and terrestrial life to understand our interdependence with biodiversity. Colombia, a megadiverse country with access to two oceans, is the perfect canvas on which to illustrate this message: nature has sustainable and straightforward solutions to society's emerging problems. The new challenges of a changing environment raise increasingly relevant questions that we must address to prosper as individuals and as a society. Can we prevent a new pandemic of viral origin? How will we feed a constantly growing population? How will the extinction of biological species affect us? Do we function the same as all other living beings? Are our bodies entire ecosystems for other species? Is there a better model for economic development? This book presents an approach to these discussions based on Colombia's biodiversity to uncover biodiversity's beauty and importance: our nature's tapestry. What we have here is an opportunity that we cannot miss.

Improvements in Bio-Based Building Blocks Production Through Process Intensification and Sustainability Concepts

By: Juan Gabriel Segovia-Hernandez,Eduardo Sanchez-Ramirez,César Ramírez-Márquez,Gabriel Contreras-Zarazúa

Improvements in Bio-Based Building Blocks Production Through Process Intensification and Sustainability Concepts discusses new information on the production and cost of bio-based building blocks. From a technical point-of-view, almost all industrial materials made from fossil resources can be substituted using bio-based counterparts. However, the cost of bio-based production in many cases exceeds the cost of petrochemical production. In addition, new products must be proven to perform at least as good as their petrochemical equivalents, have a lower environmental impact, meet consumer demand for environmentally-friendly products, factor in population growth, and account for limited supplies of non-renewables. This book outlines the application of process intensification techniques which allow for the generation of clean, efficient and economical processes for bio-based chemical blocks production. - Includes synthesis and process design strategies for intensified processes - Describes multi-objective optimization applied to the production of bio-based building blocks - Presents the controllability of processes where the production of bio-based building blocks is involved - Provides examples using aspen and MATLAB - Introduces several sustainable indexes to evaluate production processes - Presents process intensification techniques to improve performance in productive processes

Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond

Towards a New Paradigm of the Human Being

By: Juan Tubert-Oklander,Reyna Hernández-Tubert

Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond presents an important new paradigm in psychoanalysis and group analysis, presenting the individual and the group as elements of a wider whole and taking socio-political and cultural contexts into account. Juan Tubert-Oklander and Reyna Hernández-Tubert explore the contributions of group analysis to this new perspective, which suggests a holistic conception of the respective status and nature of what the common-sense view of the world conceives as the individual and the community. Part I presents thoughts on the ‘gelding’ of psychoanalysis, focuses on the limitations of classical psychoanalysis, and elaborates on key topics including epistemology, inclusion and exclusion, culture, and the real. Part II considers the reincorporation of what had formerly been excluded, through the theory and practice of group analysis. Finally, Part III bridges the gap, presenting several approaches to the building of the new paradigm that is so sorely needed. Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond will be of great interest to group analysts, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists in practice and in training, as well as other professionals specializing in group work.

Stock Value Creation and the Management of the Firm

By: Juan Pablo Stegmann

Innovative strategic management solutions for today's market Strategic Value Management addresses common problems among business managers and other professionals involved in thinking about developing and managing organizations. In it, author Juan Pablo Stegmann integrates all strategic management and business strategy into an innovative standard that introduces key metrics to strategic management and stock value creation.

His new approach indicates that every strategy has a clear dollar metric, which can measure its consequences of the strategies in terms of stock value. Competitive and growth strategies are analyzed along with economic, financial, dynamic, and contingent approaches Includes a companion CD-ROM, which contains Stegmann's proven model for strategic management and stock value creation Ethical consequences of strategic decisions are introduced-showing how ethics are linked to long-term stock value creation Explains the roots of the current financial crisis by examining the link between the financial world and strategic management, and proposes possible solutions For any looking to enhance their understanding of this discipline, Strategic Value Management offers a new conceptual model for thinking about business strategy and its link to stock value creation.

The Alton Bus Crash

By: Juan P. Carmona

A September morning in 1989 changed Alton's history forever. At 7:34 a.m., a Dr Pepper truck collided with Mission School Bus no. 6. After the bus and its occupants plunged into a water-filled caliche pit, twenty-one students lost their lives. The resulting investigation flooded the small South Texas community with reporters and lawyers. The heavily scrutinized legal battle divided the city, but it did ultimately produce changes in school bus safety that continue to save lives today. Juan Carmona navigates the complicated legacy of the tragic accident and its aftermath.

China's State Owned Enterprise Reforms

An Industrial and CEO Approach

By: Leila Fernandez-Stembridge,Juan Antonio Fernandez

Much has been written on China's State-Owned Enterprises ( SOEs) reform following the restructuring impact on China's economic reform process in the last decade. However, as a major root of social and economic change, little has been discussed beyond a description of SOEs shortcomings and their overall impact on the economy. This book provides a more in-depth analysis of SOEs by assessing the transformation process of eleven specific industries, with reference to the state of competition, the influence of WTO membership and the challenges these industries face in the future. Importantly, the authors also provide a personal perspective alongside the industry analysis with eleven case studies of firms actually undergoing this restructuring process, including interviews with crucial agents of reform such as CEOs and GMs. The provision of both a macro and business perspective of SOEs reforms provides the reader with a complete and accurate insight into the economic, social and business reality of China today. China's State Owned Enterprises' Reforms will therefore be essential reading for those interested in the Chinese economy and Chinese business, as well as economists, foreign investors, MBA and EMBA students and scholars specializing in emerging or transitional economies.

La Verguenza de Nuestra Epoca

Nuestra epoca puede sentirse justamente orgullosa de muchas cosas: asombrosos adelantos de tipo tecnico, prosperidad economica o la creacion de organizaciones internacionales para tratar conjuntamente los problemas mundiales. Estos logros, sin embargo, pueden enmascarar terribles carencias. La legitimidad y la salud moral de una sociedad se miden, ante todo, por su actitud ante los pequenos y los debiles. Y, en ese aspecto, la situacion de nuestro mundo y, en particular, de nuestras sociedades occidentales no podria ser mas desoladora. En todo el mundo, se producen unos 45 millones de abortos provocados al ano, es decir, muchas mas muertes que en las peores guerras de la Historia.
