Book Description
El presente manual se centra en reconocer al usuario/lector del manual como un ciudadano potencialmente científico, por lo tanto, invita a utilizar las herramientas propuestas para que se anime, desde donde esté, a generar procesos de conocimiento local que ayude a buscar soluciones acordes con entornos específicos. La estructura del documento en tres capítulos, cambio climático, salud y cambio climático y ciencia ciudadana, facilita al lector avanzar paso a paso y de forma segura en un proceso que parte de la construcción teórica y termina en la práctica. Es decir, se parte de la premisa de que no existe mejor práctica que una buena teoría. En ese sentido, la teoría, como abstracción de la realidad, se basa en elaborar definiciones a partir de lo que hoy en día se sabe y se conoce para terminar orientando el quehacer. Un quehacer centrado en la ciencia para producir conocimientos locales que aporten a resolver el impacto del cambio climático en la salud de todos.

Author: Passarelli, Brasilina
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 146668741X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
The way we talk, work, learn, and think has been greatly shaped by modern technology. These lifestyle changes have made digital literacy the new written literacy, where those who are not able to use computers are unable to function and perform everyday tasks. The Handbook of Research on Comparative Approaches to the Digital Age Revolution in Europe and the Americas explores the new ways that technology is shaping our society and the advances it is bringing, along with potential drawbacks, such as human jobs being replaced by computers. This expansive handbook is an essential reference source for students, academics, and professionals in the fields of communication, information technology, sociology, social policy, and education; it will also prove of interest to policymakers, funding-agencies, and digital inclusion program developers. This handbook features a broad scope of research-based articles on topics including, but not limited to, computational thinking, e-portfolios, e-citizenship, digital inclusion policies, and information literacy as a form of community empowerment.

Viability and Sustainability of Small-Scale Fisheries in Latin America and The Caribbean
Author: Silvia Salas
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319760785
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
One of the main goals in fisheries governance is to promote viability and sustainability in small-scale fishing communities. This is not an easy task given external and internal pressure, including environmental change and competition with other economic sectors searching for development in the coastal region. A comprehensive understanding of small-scale fisheries in their own context, and from a regional perspective, is an important step in supporting the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines). This book contributes to the global effort by offering knowledge, insights and lessons about small-scale fisheries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The 20 case studies included in the book make explicit the various dimensions that are intrinsic to small-scale fisheries in the region, and identify conditions and situations that affect the wellbeing of fishing communities. The book offers insights regarding the challenges faced by small-scale fisheries in the region, and, aligning with the objectives of the SSF Guidelines, provides lessons and experiences about how to make small-scale fishing communities viable while maintaining sustainable fisheries. This important book illustrates the complexity, diversity, and dynamics of small-scale fisheries in the Latin American and Caribbean region and presents experiences, tools, and approaches to lead towards sustainable and viable fisheries. The reader will gain a new understanding on the range of actions, approaches, and information needed for their successful management. John F. Caddy, International Fisheries Expert This book, prepared by the Too Big To Ignore partnership, constitutes a very valuable resource for policy makers, fisheries scientists, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, and fishing communities interested in putting in place sound management strategies, research, and actions to contribute to the sustainability of small-scale fisheries and food security in Latin America and the Caribbean region.

Crowdsourcing Geographic Knowledge
Author: Daniel Sui
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400745877
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The phenomenon of volunteered geographic information is part of a profound transformation in how geographic data, information, and knowledge are produced and circulated. By situating volunteered geographic information (VGI) in the context of big-data deluge and the data-intensive inquiry, the 20 chapters in this book explore both the theories and applications of crowdsourcing for geographic knowledge production with three sections focusing on 1). VGI, Public Participation, and Citizen Science; 2). Geographic Knowledge Production and Place Inference; and 3). Emerging Applications and New Challenges. This book argues that future progress in VGI research depends in large part on building strong linkages with diverse geographic scholarship. Contributors of this volume situate VGI research in geography’s core concerns with space and place, and offer several ways of addressing persistent challenges of quality assurance in VGI. This book positions VGI as part of a shift toward hybrid epistemologies, and potentially a fourth paradigm of data-intensive inquiry across the sciences. It also considers the implications of VGI and the exaflood for further time-space compression and new forms, degrees of digital inequality, the renewed importance of geography, and the role of crowdsourcing for geographic knowledge production.
