The Symposium presented and discussed the latest research on new theories and advanced applications of automatic systems, which are developed for manufacturing technology or are applicable to advanced manufacturing systems. The topics included computer integrated manufacturing, simulation and the increasingly important areas of artificial intelligence and expert systems, and applied them to the broad spectrum of problems that the modern manufacturing engineer is likely to encounter in the design and application of increasingly complex automatic systems.

La pérdida de valores morales que llevan a considerar todo desde una perspectiva groseramente relativista; la situación social y económica tan crítica que lleva a tratar de protegernos de cualquier manera posible; el materialismo contemporáneo que nos hace creer que teniendo más cosas seremos más felices; y otros muchos aspectos similares, han provocado una crisis que se refleja y tiene sus efectos en la pareja y familia contemporánea. La sociedad ha contagiado su enfermedad a la familia. Así pues, esta unidad básica sufre los devastadores efectos del tiempo y sociedad en que nos ha tocado vivir. ¿Hay algo que se pueda hacer? ¿Hay remedio que alivie esa enfermedad? El Dr. Maldonado nos muestra que para que la familia pueda procesar cualquier situación crítica que estén viviendo y salir avante por el camino de la recuperación y el crecimiento, la mayor parte del tiempo requiere de orientación, consejo, o asesoría. Así pues, y desde la perspectiva cristiana, en este libro el Dr. Maldonado presenta los elementos básicos de la asesoría, los criterios que servirán para identificar a una familia sana e ir hacia ella, y las metas que se deben perseguir al asesorar y que servirán al asesor o consejero para promover el sano crecimiento tanto de la pareja como de la familia. Porque, a final de cuentas, la familia no es solamente el lugar donde encontramos refugio y alimento. La familia, por sobre todo, es el lugar donde nos formamos como y donde somos verdaderamente humanos y cristianos.

The theatre aesthetics of magic is important for producing emotional reactions toward healing by the magical action. 4. The Theory of Speech Act and Philosophy of Symbolic Forms to show how manages to operate the magic with power over the world and its creatures. 5. The Theory of Discourse to establish the structure of magical discourse. 6. The Theory of Symbols to establish the symbolic structure of magic.

La Nueva Contribución a la Crítica de la Educación, del profesor Villegas, expone lo que llama inhibidores del aprendizaje y propone cómo podría ayudar a superarlos el aprendizaje basado en problemas. Establece con mayor fundamentación los principios de la teoría de la educación interactiva: la inversión copernicana en educación que cambia el sentido unilateral y vertical maestro-alumno del flujo conocimiento, el principio de educar por omisión que libera la mente del alumno de creencias y dogmas y, especialmente, de lo que llama la alienación epistemológica o falta de confianza en la propia capacidad de pensamiento, y el principio de conocer como acción-cognición con el concepto del sujeto de aprendizaje como receptos pero también como productor de conocimiento. El tema principal de la obra es el aprendizaje basado en problemas y el Sistema ABP, pero en el capítulo IV siembra lo que llama el germen de la universidad-proyecto y de la sociedad que se da un modelo educativo conformado por la tríada mente-escuela-sociedad. Fiel a su propio principio de que conocer es crear y que crear es hacer primero, tomados el primero del maestro mexicano Guillermo Héctor Rodríguez, y el segundo de la epistemología japonesa, baja sus teorías del cielo a la tierra e inicia una aventura editorial propia con la preparación y publicación de compendios que contienen lo esencial de cada disciplina, "lo que no puede dejar de saberse", para educación media y primera mitad de superior. Invita además a los maestros, al diseño de contenidos no lineales con los principios de la educación interactiva porque está consciente de que la formación de trabajadores del conocimiento, como se les llama, es una cuestión estratégica de supervivencia para cualquier sociedad y especialmente para las que están en vías de desarrollo y sufren los embates de la globalización financiera sin prevenirse contra ella.

The second volume of this series, Integrating Ecology into Global Poverty Reduction Efforts: Opportunities and solutions, builds upon the first volume, Integrating Ecology into Global Poverty Reduction Efforts: The ecological dimensions to poverty, by exploring the way in which ecological science and tools can be applied to address major development challenges associated with rural poverty. In volume 2, we explore how ecological principles and practices can be integrated, conceptually and practically, into social, economic, and political norms and processes to positively influence poverty and the environment upon which humans depend. Specifically, these chapters explore how ecological science, approaches and considerations can be leveraged to enhance the positive impacts of education, gender relations, demographics, markets and governance on poverty reduction. As the final chapter on “The future and evolving role of ecological science” points out, sustainable development must be build upon an ecological foundation if it is to be realized. The chapters in this volume illustrate how traditional paradigms and forces guiding development can be steered along more sustainable trajectories by utilizing ecological science to inform project planning, policy development, market development and decision making.
