Religion and healthcare in the European Union : policy issues and trends
92 p. ; 24 cm.Libro ElectrónicoThe impact of religious doctrine on the law, policy and practice of healthcare is becoming increasingly significant for a whole range of issues – from euthanasia to fertility treatment; from belief-based exemption from performing abortion for doctors to the medication and dietary needs of religious patients; from organ donation to contraception; from circumcision to suicide. The relationship between religion and healthcare has a long history of evoking tension and debate in Europe. While developments in medical technologies and techniques question the religious beliefs of policy-makers, practitioners and patients across the European Union, research into the legal and policy responses by EU member states on such issues remains underdeveloped.
The challenge of health policy, which is common across the European Union, is to balance fundamental human rights such as the right to equality, the right to health and the right to freedom of religion while adhering to secular principles.
This report aims to map out the major issues at stake and to initiate a broader discussion on how the religious needs of the community, religious doctrine and religious practices across the European Union affect public health policy.Preface: The ‘Religion and Democracy in Europe’ initiative 7

Lacan and Organization
239 p.Libro ElectrónicoThe work of Jacques Lacan has become an influential source to most disciplines of the social sciences, and is now considered a standard reference in literary theory, cultural studies and political theory. While management and organization studies has traditionally been preoccupied with questions of making corporations more efficient and productive, it has also mobilized a strong and forceful critique of work, management and capitalism. It is primarily as a contribution to this tradition of critical scholarship that we can see the work of Lacan now emerging.La obra de Jacques Lacan se ha convertido en una fuente de influencia para la mayoría de las disciplinas de las ciencias sociales, y ahora se considera una referencia estándar en la teoría literaria, estudios culturales y la teoría política. Mientras que los estudios de gestión y organización ha sido tradicionalmente preocupado por las cuestiones de lo que las empresas más eficientes y productivos, sino que también ha movilizado una fuerte crítica y contundente del trabajo, la gestión y el capitalismo. Es sobre todo como una contribución a esta tradición de los estudios críticos que podemos ver la obra de Lacan surgiendo.Contributors ix

A Field Guide to Genetic Programming
xiv, 233 p. : il. ; 23 cm.Libro ElectrónicoA Field Guide to Genetic Programming (ISBN 978-1-4092-0073-4) is an introduction to genetic programming (GP). GP is a systematic, domain-independent method for getting computers to solve problems automatically starting from a high-level statement of what needs to be done. Using ideas from natural evolution, GP starts from an ooze of random computer programs, and progressively refines them through processes of mutation and sexual recombination, until solutions emerge. All this without the user having to know or specify the form or structure of solutions in advance. GP has generated a plethora of human-competitive results and applications, including novel scientific discoveries and patentable inventions. The authorsIntroduction --

Critique of Creativity: Precarity, Subjectivity and Resistance in the ‘Creative Industries’
234 p. : il., Tablas.Libro ElectrónicoLa creatividad siempre está en movimiento: surge, se establece en el ente colectivo, palidece y desaparece a veces en el olvido; renace, vuelve con innovaciones, se reformula y resurge iniciando de nuevo el ciclo.
Los viejos mitos de la creación y los creadores, los trabajos consagrados y los organismos privilegiados de los demiurgos están de nuevo en marcha, produciendo nuevos cambios. Los ensayos recogidos en este libro analizan ese resurgimiento complejo del mito de la creación y proponen una crítica contemporánea de la creatividad.Creativity is astir: reborn, re-conjured, re-branded, resurgent. The old myths of creation and creators – the hallowed labors and privileged agencies of demiurges and prime movers, of Biblical world-makers and self-fashioning artist-geniuses – are back underway, producing effects, circulating appeals. Much as the Catholic Church dresses the old creationism in the new gowns of ‘intelligent design’, the Creative Industries sound the clarion call to the Cultural Entrepreneurs. In the hype of the ‘creative class’ and the high flights of the digital bohemians, the renaissance of ‘the creatives’ is visibly enacted. The essays collected in this book analyze this complex resurgence of creation myths and formulate a contemporary critique of creativity.Contents vii

The Leading Journal in the Field: Destabilizing Authority in the Social Sciences of Management
217 p. : il , 20 x 13 cm.Libro ElectrónicoI am often told, “Don’t waste your time reading books, you’d be better off reading the leading journals in your field.” Unfortunately, the authors of this book have closely read some of those articles: examining arguments, with simple principles and words, plus a touch of irony – and a shared belief in ideas and debates. The suspicions that we all have in a part of our head appears in its ugly nakedness: what is this social game that authors in leading management journals play? What grants them their truth effects? This is a book that one should read the day one enters the academic field; and then regularly thereafter so as not to forget.’ Professor Jean-Luc Moriceau, Telecom Business School (France)"A menudo me dijo:" No pierda su tiempo leyendo libros, que sería mejor que la lectura de las revistas líderes en su campo. "Desafortunadamente, los autores de este libro han leído muy de cerca algunos de esos artículos: el examen de los argumentos, con principios simples y palabras, además de un toque de ironía - y la creencia compartida de ideas y debates. Las sospechas de que todos tenemos en una parte de la cabeza aparece en su fea desnudez: ¿qué es este juego social que los autores de revistas líder en gestión de jugar? Lo que les dé efectos de verdad? Este es un libro que uno debe leer el día se entra en el campo académico, y luego periódicamente a partir de entonces, para no olvidar ".

Open educational resources : conversations in cyberspace
172 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.Libro ElectrónicoEducation systems today face two major challenges: expanding the reach of education and improving its quality. Traditional solutions will not suffice, especially in the context of today's knowledge-intensive societies. The Open Educational Resources movement offers one solution for extending the reach of education and expanding learning opportunities. The goal of the movement is to equalize access to knowledge worldwide through openly and freely available online high-quality content. Over the course of two years, the international community came together in a series of online discussion forums to discuss the concept of Open Educational Resources and its potential. This publication makes the background papers and reports from those discussions available in print.--Publisher's description.A first forum : presenting the open educational resources (OER) movement.

Modo de acceso : Internet páx. web del Instituto de Ciencias Económicas y de la Autogestión, dirección el 13-10-09 :http://iceautogestion.orgEn el verano de 2007, cuando pocos sabían de las hipotecas subprime, se
originó una serie de impagos hipotecarios a lo largo de todo el territorio
estadounidense. Gente sin apenas recursos, muchos de ellos rozando la
marginalidad, fueron los primeros en dejar de pagar las cuotas hipotecarias.
Como un castillo de naipes, todo un sistema financiero como el de EEUU se
tambaleaba hasta hacer necesaria la intervención estatal, mediante un paquete
de medidas que se acabó materializando en la inyección de 700.000
millones de dólares a ese sector financiero.
A raíz de ello salieron a la luz toda una serie de mecanismos fruto de la
denominada “ingeniería financiera”, proceso sin parangón en la historia del
capitalismo por el que se permitía, entre otras cosas, que hipotecas con alto
riesgo de no poder ser devueltas se convirtiesen en apetecibles productos
financieros donde poder invertir. Esta crisis se trasladó casi al instante al
resto de sectores económicos y, de ahí, al resto de las economías. En las páginas que siguen pretendemos acercarnos desde la teoría
económica a esta crisis, estudiando sus causas y su propagación hasta
nuestras vidas, y exponiendo finalmente las consecuencias que previsiblemente
tendrá sobre nuestro futuro en tanto que trabajadores. Finalmente,
ofreceremos un programa que tiene por objetivo exclusivo el de evitar que
una vez más sea la clase trabajadora la que tenga que pagar el alto precio
de una crisis que no sólo no ha originado, sino que está basada en unas relaciones
que lleva padeciendo desde hace siglos.1. Introducción 7

Planificación de la fuerza laboral de profesionales de medicina y enfermería en una selección de países europeos: Francia, Alemania, España, Suecia y Reino Unido : migraciones profesionales LA-UE, oportunidades para el desarrollo compartido
53 p. gráf. col. 21 cmLibro ElectrónicoEn este trabajo se llevó a cabo en el marco del proyecto Migración de profesionales de la salud entre América Latina y Europa: Análisis y oportunidades para el desarrollo compartido, mIgR/2008/152-804(5.2), financiado por la CE. La ejecución de dicho proyecto corrió a cargo del consorcio compuesto por la Escuela Andaluza de salud Pública, la Organización Panamericana de Salud y el Grupo de Trabajo sobre migraciones profesionales coordinado por
el ministerio de salud Pública de la República Oriental del Uruguay.
La finalidad del estudio era examinar y describir la forma en que cinco países seleccionados de la UE planifican su fuerza laboral en lo que respecta a profesionales de medicina y enfermería. Se prestó especial atención a comprobar si los flujos migratorios de estos profesionales eran tenidos en cuenta en la planificación de la fuerza laboral en estos países. Los países seleccionados fueron: Francia, Alemania, España, Suecia y Reino Unido. Dadas las limitaciones
de recursos y de tiempo, el estudio se concibió como una “radiografía de la situación actual”, más que como un análisis en profundidad.
El informe comienza analizando brevemente la manera en que se recoge la información y los retos que se encuentran durante dicho proceso. A continuación, se examinan para cada uno de los países incluidos en el estudio la planificación de la fuerza laboral y otros temas relacionados. Por último, y antes de presentar las conclusiones, se repasan algunas iniciativas de ámbito europeo de relevancia para el asunto objeto de análisis.Introducción.. 7
