Pandemia es una palabra con origen profundo que en el tiempo se ha cargado con la historia de pueblos y naciones, alcanzando su plena expresión en nuestra sociedad globalizada. No solamente por las estadísticas que atraen la atención de todo el mundo y nos obligan a razonar de manera lógico-numérica, cuantitativa, olvidando que muchas veces los números son personas, y no rinden la justa cuenta de todos aquellos seres humanos que representan estas cifras. Una pandemia logra su máxima expresión al alcanzar el mayor número de personas, esto refleja en su etimología proveniente del griego pan (todo) y demos (pueblo) y desde sus orígenes ha significado principalmente una cosa, la “reunión del pueblo”. Dicha noción invita a reflexionar sobre el porqué de las medidas sanitarias, del aislamiento y confinamiento, y, más aún, nos recuerda la importancia de la unión como decisión ancestral al origen de nuestras sociedades, columna portante de la familia, fortaleza de cualquier sistema en desequilibrio. Reconociendo esto, se evidencia la capacidad de transformar juntos las debilidades en fortalezas, de saber demostrar nuestro mejor impulso a la solidaridad y colaboración cuando sentimos que nos necesitan, que permite terminar con alegría un capítulo con la seguridad de que el próximo será mucho mejor. Este espíritu es responsable de la iniciativa de quienes enfrentamos los desafíos del contexto desde la unión, con la aspiración de formar seres humanos en un espacio compartido de generación de conocimiento y conformación de valores humanos y sociales que llamamos Universidad.

Scientific research in the Netherlands is doing remarkably well. Dutch researchers, universities and institutes reside at or near the top of international rankings. In this essay, José van Dijck and Wim van Saarloos, the president and vice-president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), explore how such a small country could become a global player in science and research. They highlight interconnectedness, collaboration, trust, and interwoven research and education among the quintessentially Dutch factors that paved the way to the success.They also show, however, that the country's efforts to reach the top sometimes chip away at these trusted foundations. Investments in its research base are lagging, and some typically Dutch strengths have recently come under pressure.They close off with some suggestions on how the country may turn the tide, prolong its great achievements, and ensure a leading role for Dutch research in the nation's future.

Denne boka omhandler Grunnloven helt fra 1814 til i dag. Den er både en oppdatert lovkommentar som tar med hele grunnlovsrevisjonen i 2014, og en forklaring av Grunnloven slik den har vært, med dens bakgrunn, alle dens endringer og kontinuiteten fra 17. mai 1814 til utgangen av 2020. Alle gjeldende grunnlovsbestemmelser blir utførlig kommentert og tilsvarende for alle tidligere bestemmelser som nå er opphevet. Kommentarene er skrevet av i alt 49 spesialistforfattere, de fleste jurister og noen historikere. Grunnlovsparagrafene blir satt inn i ulike sammenhenger, både idehistoriske og politiske, med hverandre og med internasjonale forpliktelser, rettspraksis og lovgivning. Redaktørene har i tillegg skrevet innledning til verket. Boka er uunnværlig for alle som arbeider med statsrettslige spørsmål, både i Storting og styringsverk, i domstolene og på advokatkontorer, og for studenter så vel som for historisk og politisk interesserte. Redaktørene er begge professorer ved Det juridiske f akultet ved Universitetet i Oslo og stod sentralt i forsk-ningen knyttet til Grunnlovens 200-årsjubileum i 2014.

"Modern-day science is under great pressure. A potent mix of increasing expectations, limited resources, tensions between competition and cooperation, and the need for evidence-based funding is creating major change in how science is conducted and perceived. Amidst this ‘perfect storm’ is the allure of ‘research excellence’, a concept that drives decisions made by universities and funders, and defines scientists’ research strategies and career trajectories.But what is ‘excellent’ science? And how to recognise it? After decades of inquiry and debate there is still no satisfactory answer. Are we asking the wrong question? Is reality more complex, and ‘excellence in science’ more elusive, than many are willing to admit? And how should excellence be defined in different parts of the world, particularly in lower-income countries of the ‘Global South’ where science is expected to contribute to pressing development issues, despite often scarce resources? Many wonder whether the Global South is importing, with or without consenting, the flawed tools for research evaluation from North America and Europe that are not fit for purpose.This book takes a critical view of these issues, touching on conceptual issues and practical problems that inevitably emerge when ‘excellence’ is at the center of science systems. Emerging from the capacity-building work of the Science Granting Councils Initiative in sub-Saharan Africa, it speaks to scholars, as well as to managers and funders of research around the world. Confronting sticky problems and uncomfortable truths, the chapters contain insights and recommendations that point towards new solutions – both for the Global South and the Global North."
