Book Description
Esta obra hace un pormenorizado recorrido por las variadas zonas de la realidad que circunda al investigador en el mundo sanitario. El autor penetra con agudeza y originalidad en las amenazas y oportunidades que ofrecen los diversos escenarios en que se desenvuelve la investigación biomédica contemporánea. La emergencia de Internet como poderoso instrumento de comunicación, el inquietante papel de la prensa y de las transnacionales del medicamento, los mitos numerológicos y pseudocientíficos que amenazan a una genuina cultura científica de la sociedad, las pautas para el debate científico y el desmontaje de las ceremonias metodológicas más extendidas, son algunos de los temas que se ofrecen al lector. Usando un estilo fresco y desenfadado, que a menudo recuerda al de un narrador, pero sin abandonar el lenguaje preciso de la ciencia, Silva nos ofrece una obra rigurosamente documentada, de alto vuelo teórico, que incorpora al mismo tiempo un vasto espectro de ejemplos de plena actualidad INDICE RESUMIDO: La cultura científica. Una amenaza en la sociedad contemporánea. Imposturas y sinrazones en el diálogo científico. El camino hacia el nuevo conocimiento. Los enemigos de la ciencia. Adocenamiento y ceremonias metodológicas. Valores p y pruebas de significación estadística: fin de una era. Índice Onomástico. Índice de materias

Book Description
Nueva edición del texto de Biología celular dirigido por el Dr. Alfonso Calvo y que cuenta con un gran número de colaboradores. EL Dr. Alfonso Calvo tiene una amplia carrera tanto como docente (profesor de Biología celular e Histología. Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud de Navarra) como investigador. Su área de interés son los tumores sólidos y los biomarcadores y desempeña su labor en el CIMA (Navarra) y en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Navarra. El texto se posiciona como un texto que cubre la asignatura de Biología celular tanto para el grado de Medicina como de Biomedicina y Ciencias biomédicas. En la nueva edición se sigue con la misma filosofía ya que se hace especial énfasis en el funcionamiento de los orgánulos celulares y de cómo cuando estos están alterados dan lugar a las diferentes patologías Su enfoque claramente biomédico incluye también aspectos de patología celular y sus consecuencias en el origen de las enfermedades. La obra cuenta con un total de 18 capítulos (cap 18 disponible solo en formato online); todos ellos se han renovado y actualizado en su totalidad si bien, los relativos a cáncer y terapias con células madre son los que han sufrido mayores cambios por ser un tema en constante estudio. Incluye un extenso material online disponible a través de la plataforma de SC.es en el que se incluyen preguntas de autoevaluación, casos clínicos, problemas, presentaciones ppt y un grupo de 4 videos.

Book Description
In all different areas in biomedical engineering, the ultimate objectives in research and education are to improve the quality life, reduce the impact of disease on the everyday life of individuals, and provide an appropriate infrastructure to promote and enhance the interaction of biomedical engineering researchers. This book is prepared in two volumes to introduce a recent advances in different areas of biomedical engineering such as biomaterials, cellular engineering, biomedical devices, nanotechnology, and biomechanics. It is hoped that both of the volumes will bring more awareness about the biomedical engineering field and help in completing or establishing new research areas in biomedical engineering.

Book Description
Este trabajo reúne la experiencia y la reflexión de uno de los académicos que se ha destacado por tener acceso, producir información y tomar decisiones muy interesantes sobre lo que ha pasado en los últimos años en la ciencia, la docencia universitaria y la evolución de la medicina en México. Aparte nos ofrece trabajos alrededor de los tres grandes rubros que se entrelazan en las correspondientes tres partes que dan cuerpo al libro: el quehacer científico en México; la relación entre la ciencia y la universidad; y la encrucijada actual de la medicina.

Book Description
This book is the first in a series of planned volumes focused on preserving the character of the development of bioethics in particular cultural contexts. As the first of these volumes, Leo Pessini, Christian de Paul de Barchifontaine, and Fernando Lolas Stepke’s work has succeeded well. It has brought together accounts by sch- ars who were crucial to the emergence of bioethics in the Ibero-American cultural domain. This trail-blazing work in the history of bioethics will be of enduring s- nificance. I am deeply in their debt for having shouldered this far from easy task. Bioethics is the product of very particular socio-historical developments. Most prominent among them have been (1) the secularization of the dominant culture of North America, Western Europe, and now Central and South America as well, (2) a deflation of the status and authority of physicians as moral authorities able to guide their own profession, and (3) the salience of a post-traditional animus that gives c- tral place to persons as isolated atomic sources of moral authority. Bioethics initially took shape in North America as a post-Christian, post-professional, post-traditional social movement. This bioethics sought to establish a moral discourse for the public forum, a moral practice able to give practical guidance in hospitals and other insti- tions, and a body of undergirding and justifying theoretical reflections.

Book Description
The III International Symposium of Terminology, organized by the research group IULATERM, was held at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona from July 10 to 13, 2001. After the two first editions, devoted to Terminology and cultural models (1997) and to Terminology and cognition (1999), the three lectures of the l III Symposium are devoted to the analysis of sources of specialized knowledge and terminology. The first lecture, presented by Lita Lundquist (Copenhaguen Business School), is about the production of specialized knowledge. The second lecture, presented by Cristina Junyent (Observatori de la Comunicació Científica de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra), is about the problems of the transference of specialized knowledge. The third lecture, presented by Mercè Izquierdo (Departament de Didàctica de les Matemàtiques i de les Ciències Experimentals de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), analyzes the teaching of specialized knowledge. The volumen has a four tex from the a lecture of Professor Josep Bernabeu-Mestre (University of Alacant) in the III Escuela Internacional de Verano de Terminología, and is about the terminology problems in historical research.

Book Description
Finding natural substances is worthwhile in food preservation. The principal motivation behind this edited volume, Antimicrobials for Sustainable Food Storage, is to collect and present widespread knowledge in the domain of sustainable food ingredients with antimicrobial properties. The book consists of two sections. The first section of this volume is about food ingredients as antimicrobials, and the second section discusses the recent advances in the applications of food ingredients. Interplay of various environmental factors favors the growth of different microorganisms during the food preservation process. Growth of undesirable microorganisms negatively influences the taste, smell, color, and texture of food. Therefore, sustainable food preservation is a challenging issue. Though several chemicals have emerged, inevitable health effects are commonly encountered by food preserve chemicals. Microbial products (nisin, enterocin, pentosin, sakacin, and pediocin) have immense importance in prolonging the shelf life of food substances by controlling food spoilage and pathogenic microbes. Yeasts and cyanobacteria are also potential candidates in the supply of food ingredients with significant antimicrobial properties. However, limited awareness of antimicrobials as food ingredients and the unavailability of a single source of the latest insights on such food ingredients in one place led to the motivation to produce this work. Key Features: Provides insights on natural antimicrobials in food preservation Underlines the importance of sustainable food packaging Offers knowledge on emerging trends in antimicrobial-based food storage Diverse applications are covered in different chapters. This book covers various antimicrobials as food preservatives, such as metabolites, natural products, essential oils, nanomaterials, L-arginine, polyphenols, phaeophyceae, and horchata. There are also chapters that focus on the applicability and prospective studies of essential oils, edible biofilms, biodegradable antimicrobials, and nanostructured lipid carriers in the food sector and the method for encapsulation of antimicrobials.
