Abstract

This work focuses on the cross-over between ecosystem, animal and human health. It traces environmental sources of pathogens and pollutants to create an understanding of the causes of disease and changes in human and animal health.

Abstract

The tropics surround the Equator limited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. The tropics include all the regions on Earth where the Sun reaches a point directly overhead at least once during the solar year. The subtropics are geographic and climate zones located between the tropic circle of latitude and the 38th parallel in each hemisphere. The tropics and subtropics are home to about 75% of the global human population. Cultural, economic, and political circumstances vary enormously across this vast geography of some 170 countries and territories. The regions not only harbor the world's poorest countries but their human populations are growing disproportionally faster than in temperate zones. Some countries are developing rapidly - Brazil, China, India, and Mexico being obvious examples, while others still remain in the poverty trap.This region contains an astonishing proportion of global biodiversity; some 90% of plant and animal species by some measures. Its contribution to human well-being is astounding. It was the birthplace for our species; and it hosts a myriad of plant and animal species which products feed us, keep us healthy, and supply us with a variety of material goods. The tropics and subtropics are also a natural laboratory where some of humanity's most important scientific discoveries have been made. Such biodiversity has enormous implications for research priorities, capacity building, and policy to address the challenges of conserving this region.Tropical Conservation: Perspectives on Local and Global Priorities drew the majority of its contributors from this growing pool of scientists and practitioners working in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. It introduces important conservation concepts and illustrates their application as the authors directly capture real world experiences in their home countries in preventing biodiversity loss and sustaining ecological health. Today, no part of the world can be viewed in isolation, and we further codify and integrate a range of approaches for addressing global threats to nature and environmental sustainability, including climate change and emerging diseases. Five sections structure the major themes.

Abstract

In recent years, species and ecosystems have been threatened by many anthropogenic factors manifested in local and global declines of populations and species. Although we consider conservation medicine an emerging field, the concept is the result of the long evolution of transdisciplinary thinking within the health and ecological sciences and the better understanding of the complexity within these various fields of knowledge. Conservation medicine was born from the cross fertilization of ideas generated by this new transdisciplinary design. It examines the links among changes in climate, habit

Abstract

esta cartilla es un trabajo colaborativo orientado por los fundamentos de la pedagogía amigoniana, enriquecido con las reflexiones de Paulo Freire y autores afines. La publicación surge de las experiencias de las prácticas educativas acordes al propósito general de la Diplomatura en Pedagogía Reeducativa: el cuidado de sí y el cuidado del otro, ofrecida por la Fundación Universitaria Luis Amigó (hoy Universidad Católica Luis Amigó) en el 2014. Las lecciones de la cartilla están mediadas por hilos conceptuales inspirados en la pedagogía de la liberación, tales como: persona, educabilidad del ser, práctica educativa, curiosidad ingenua, curiosidad epistémica, diálogo de saberes, lectura de mundo, justicia, conciencia del inacabamiento, y utopía. Dichos hilos contribuyen a la actualización de la pedagogía reeducativa y su pertinencia en el contexto sociocultural colombiano.

Abstract

La sécurité dans les transports bénéficie depuis longtemps d’efforts soutenus pour l’amélioration des infrastructures et des véhicules. Mais récemment en France et dans le monde, les responsables de la sécurité routière ont décidé de consacrer davantage d’attention et de moyens aux facteurs humains. Parmi les nombreux sujets de recherches qui se sont développés, la vigilance tient une place importante, compte tenu de son intérêt scientifique et de son utilité sociale. Cet ouvrage présente quarante-trois articles consacrés aux divers aspects de la vigilance, des facteurs de dégradation et des moyens de prévention. Il s’articule autour de quatre thèmes : l’alcool, les drogues et les médicaments, les rythmes biologiques, la détection automatique des baisses de vigilance.
