Book Description
La integración financiera, y del sistema bancaria en particular, han sido objeto de atención durante más de treinta años entre académicos, decisores políticos y técnicos del sector. Aunque varios factores incidan en esta tendencia ascendente, existe bastante consenso respecto a las ventajas de la integración, que son diversas y sustanciales. Sin embargo, la crisis financiera de 2007-2008 ha puesto en cuestión su expansión, dando lugar a una mayor diversidad de opiniones sobre el impacto global de una integración financiera y bancaria reforzada. En los cinco capítulos del libro se analiza de qué forma la reciente crisis financiera internacional ha contribuido a relanzar el debate sobre los posibles beneficios o riesgos de la integración financiera, considerando no solo los diferentes aspectos del tema sino las múltiples maneras de acercarse a ello. Los dos primeros capítulos analizan, para el caso español, el efecto de la expansión del mercado bancario cuando lleva parejo exposición al riesgo y desequilibrios de liquidez, así como el papel ejercido por la titulización antes de y durante las crisis. El tercer capítulo presenta nuevas medidas de integración bancaria para examinar la relación entre el grado de integración y el alcance de las crisis, mientras que los capítulos restantes emplean modelos teóricos para explicar los origines del contagio y del riesgo sistémico así como el efecto y la propagación de la caída de un banco a lo largo del sector. En el libro colaboran académicos de reconocido prestigio internacional en los campos contemplados. Estos van desde banca en general donde Santiago Carbó (Bangor Business School), Alfredo Martín (U. de las Islas Baleares), Francisco Rodríguez (U. Granada) and Emili Tortosa (U. Jaume I e Ivie) han publicado extensamente, hasta análisis de redes (sobre todo desde la perspectiva financiera), campo en el que Matteo Chinazzi y Giorgio Fagiolo (Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies), Thomas Lux (U. Kiel, Kiel Inst. for the World Economy y U. Jaume I), Mattia Montagna (European Central Bank) e Iván Arribas (U. Valencia, ERICES e Ivie) han realizado aportaciones importantes.

Qualitative Research from Start to Finish, First Edition
Author: Robert K. YinPublisher: Guilford Press
ISBN: 1606239783
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This lively, practical text presents a fresh and comprehensive approach to doing qualitative research. The book offers a unique balance of theory and clear-cut choices for customizing every phase of a qualitative study. A scholarly mix of classic and contemporary studies from multiple disciplines provides compelling, field-based examples of the full range of qualitative approaches. Readers learn about adaptive ways of designing studies, collecting data, analyzing data, and reporting findings. Key aspects of the researcher's craft are addressed, such as fieldwork options, the five phases of data analysis (with and without using computer-based software), and how to incorporate the researcher's “declarative” and “reflective” selves into a final report. Ideal for graduate-level courses, the text includes:* Discussions of ethnography, grounded theory, phenomenology, feminist research, and other approaches.* Instructions for creating a study bank to get a new study started.* End-of-chapter exercises and a semester-long, field-based project.* Quick study boxes, research vignettes, sample studies, and a glossary.* Previews for sections within chapters, and chapter recaps.* Discussion of the place of qualitative research among other social science methods, including mixed methods research.
Molecular Evolution
Author: Roderick D.M. PagePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444313363
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The study of evolution at the molecular level has given the subject of evolutionary biology a new significance. Phylogenetic 'trees' of gene sequences are a powerful tool for recovering evolutionary relationships among species, and can be used to answer a broad range of evolutionary and ecological questions. They are also beginning to permeate the medical sciences. In this book, the authors approach the study of molecular evolution with the phylogenetic tree as a central metaphor. This will equip students and professionals with the ability to see both the evolutionary relevance of molecular data, and the significance evolutionary theory has for molecular studies. The book is accessible yet sufficiently detailed and explicit so that the student can learn the mechanics of the procedures discussed. The book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in molecular evolution/phylogenetic reconstruction. It will also be a useful supplement for students taking wider courses in evolution, as well as a valuable resource for professionals. First student textbook of phylogenetic reconstruction which uses the tree as a central metaphor of evolution. Chapter summaries and annotated suggestions for further reading. Worked examples facilitate understanding of some of the more complex issues. Emphasis on clarity and accessibility.

Book Description
Thoroughly revised, this new edition of Critical Theory of Technology rethinks the relationships between technology, rationality, and democracy, arguing that the degradation of labor--as well as of many environmental, educational, and political systems--is rooted in the social values that preside over technological development. It contains materials on political theory, but the emphasis has shifted to reflect a growing interest in the fields of technology and cultural studies.
