Al and Machine Learning in Healthcare and Biomedical Engineering
type: item
description: AI and Machine Learning in Healthcare and Biomedical Engineering presents a collection of recent research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, medical imaging, and biomedical hardware design. The volume focuses on two tightly coupled domains: AI-driven analysis of oncological imaging (with an emphasis on brain and lung tumors) and machine-learning-assisted optimization of low-noise front-ends for medical Internet of Things (IoT) devices and implantable systems. On the imaging side, several chapters propose advanced pipelines for preprocessing and enhancing MRI and CT data, including filtering, contrast enhancement, and transform-based techniques, as well as multimodal MRI–PET fusion. These methods aim to improve image quality and tumor boundary visibility, facilitating more reliable segmentation and diagnosis. Building on these foundations, the book explores deep and hybrid learning models—convolutional neural networks combined with classical classifiers—as well as feature extraction and selection strategies that integrate textural, frequency-based, and deep representations. Experiments on benchmark datasets for brain and lung tumors show that these approaches can achieve high accuracy and robust performance, underscoring the diagnostic potential of AI-based methods. At the hardware level, the book examines how machine learning can guide the design of low-noise amplifiers for medical IoT and implantable communication in medically allocated frequency bands. The chapters demonstrate that data-driven optimization can reduce noise figures, improve gain-versus-power trade-offs, and accelerate convergence in multi-objective design spaces, yielding LNAs with performance suitable for low-power wearable and implantable devices. By bringing together methods for image enhancement, multimodal fusion, feature engineering, classification, and hardware optimization, this edited volume offers an integrated view of how AI and machine learning can be embedded throughout th…

New Literacies in the Age of AI: Ethics, Teaching, and Writing
type: item
description: This collective volume addresses the challenges and possibilities of digital and ethical literacy in the contemporary educational context, which is profoundly shaped by the emergence of generative artificial intelligence. Across eleven chapters, educators and researchers from various countries analyze how AI is transforming writing, teaching, assessment, and teacher education from pedagogical, legal, technological, and epistemological perspectives. The content is organized into three modules. The first focuses on the conceptual foundations of new literacies and their impact on teacher training. The second brings together pedagogical experiences that integrate AI into instructional design, feedback, and academic creativity. The third module examines the ethical and legal implications of AI use in contexts of authorship, academic integrity, and evaluation. Far from offering a unified or prescriptive vision, the chapters invite readers to critically reflect on the role of AI in teaching and learning processes, as well as to explore practical proposals and frameworks for responsible and formative integration. This work is aimed at teachers, trainers, researchers, and educational policymakers interested in understanding, applying, and teaching with AI from a critical, ethical, and contextualized perspective.

Evidence-based biomedicine: methodology for research, standardization, and scientific procedural aspects
type: item
description: Evidence-based biomedicine: methodology for research, standardization and scientific procedural aspects is a structured guide for designing, conducting, analyzing and communicating research in the health field, with particular emphasis on clinical and occupational health practice. The book highlights the importance of integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses, under solid statistical and probabilistic rigor in order to produce valid, comparable and decision-oriented results for clinical practice. The structure of the book follows the research process step by step. It begins with clinical research and the composition of multidisciplinary research teams, stressing the need to connect clinical care with investigative activity and to recognize the central role of health professionals in generating knowledge. It then addresses research ethics, including legal and ethical frameworks, scientific validity, risk–benefit balance, informed consent, fair selection of participants, and the ethics of scientific publishing (authorship, plagiarism, conflicts of interest and editorial responsibilities). Subsequent chapters deal with study design and types of research, offering a structured model to formulate research questions, plan studies and choose between different observational and experimental designs. Descriptive and prevalence studies, cohort studies, case–control studies and diagnostic accuracy studies are presented, together with key criteria for their appropriate selection and critical appraisal. A core theme of the book is the standardization of protocols and procedures, both in research and clinical practice, with the aim of ensuring transparency, reproducibility and comparability across centers and studies.

In addition, the book includes myths and legends that enrich the reading experience, immersing readers in fantastic worlds and diverse realities. Reading comprehension and oral expression are fundamental skills that have a significant impact on children's academic, social, and emotional development. Reading comprehension is the ability to understand, interpret, and analyze what is read, which is not only crucial for learning in all areas of knowledge but also for everyday life. Good reading comprehension allows children to acquire and process information effectively, giving them the tools to function independently in the world. On the other hand, oral expression is equally important, as it is through verbal communication that children can share their ideas, emotions, opinions, and experiences. Clear and effective oral expression not only facilitates social interaction, but is also essential for the development of critical thinking, reasoning, and self-confidence skills. In the school context, these skills are fundamental to academic success, as children with good reading comprehension and oral expression are more likely to understand and assimilate curriculum content, as well as actively participate in clas…

Emerging pedagogies: AI, territory, and situated knowledges
type: item
description: This collective book brings together diverse contributions on the use, reflection, and reinterpretation of artificial intelligence in specific educational contexts. From different disciplines, territories, and levels of teaching, the authors address experiences that challenge the instrumental or technocratic view of AI, proposing instead a critical, ethical, and pedagogical understanding. The common thread is the construction of knowledge from practice, with an awareness of the place one inhabits and the social, cultural, and political tensions that permeate contemporary education. Organized into three main sections, the book includes philosophical essays on algorithmic epistemology and digital colonialism, didactic proposals applied to design thinking, medicine, engineering, and economics, as well as pedagogical accounts that combine poetics, ethics, and situated action. The voices that make up this work are not grouped under a single methodological formula, but under a shared intention: to think about pedagogy with AI from the real, the local, and the possible. The result is a heterogeneous work, coherent in its desire to challenge teacher training, university teaching, and educational research from a perspective committed to critical thinking, cognitive justice, and cultural transformation. This proposal is aimed at educators, researchers, and students interested in exploring the ways in which artificial intelligence is incorporated, transformed, or contested in today's classrooms.

Teachers under evaluation: the imaginaries of power and fear in Colombian education (English version)
type: item
description: Teachers Under Evaluation: The imaginaries of Power and Fear in Colombian Education is a work that delves, with theoretical depth and a testimonial voice, into the symbolic fabric that sustains the teaching profession in the country. Through a style that blends academic reflection with pedagogical narrative, the author explores how power, evaluation, and fear intertwine within the everyday experience of Colombian teaching. From a critical and humanistic approach, the author analyzes the evolution of the national education system based on statutes 2277 and 1278, showing how evaluation policies, under the language of “quality” and “merit”, have reshaped the imaginaries of the teaching profession. In these pages, the teacher does not appear as a passive victim of reforms, but as a historical subject who resists, creates, and reimagines their practice through hope. The text brings together theory and experience with academic precision, drawing on thinkers such as Foucault, Bourdieu, Freire, Castoriadis, Dubet, Bauman, Popkewitz and Covarrubias, among others. Through these dialogues, the author offers an interpretation of the teaching profession as a field of forces, where symbolic capital, ethical meanings and political horizons are contested. Each chapter constitutes a distinct — and complementary — approach to the imaginaries that shape teaching: merit, vocation, control, dignity, and resistance. With a clear and poetic language, the author reveals that pedagogy not only teaches content, but also ways of being and existing in the world. In these pages, hope is not presented as consolation, but as a political practice; and evaluation, not as punishment, but as an opportunity for dialogue. Teachers under evaluation is an invitation to rethink the school as a space of meaning, not of obedience; as a territory of care, not of surveillance. An indispensable work for those who believe that education remains an act of faith, and justice.

Corporate governance and accounting ethics
type: item
description: The modern business environment needs corporate governance and accounting ethics, as the main pillars of organizational accountability, transparency, and sustainability. This textbook is a complex study of both notions, combining classical theories, modern rules and regulations, and ethical norms of both national and international levels. The text critically reflects on the interaction of the governance structures, the responsibilities of the boards and shareholder roles in influencing ethical financial reporting and sustainable corporate behaviors by drawing on multidisciplinary theories such as the agency theory, stakeholder theory, institutional theory as well as political economy frameworks. The Nigerian context is highlighted with the help of the main regulatory tools, including the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA, 2020), the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance (NCCG, 2018), and the ethical statements made by the professional organizations, i.e., the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN), the ICAN, ANAN, and the international organizations, i.e., IFAC and OECD. Students are influenced through essential domains such as internal control mechanisms, auditing processes, sustainability governance and professional code of ethics. The book combines theory with practice with real life corporate case studies, empirical studies and critical commentary of failures and reforms in governance in developing and developed economies. The text empowers the students of the university, practitioners in the accounting profession, and policy analysts by equipping them with the competency to understand the principles of governance, assess ethical issues and put accountability systems in place that support integrity, transparency, and long-term value generation in companies.

Electrolyte and Internal Environment Imbalances in Emergencies (Spanish Edition)
type: item
description: Electrolyte and internal environment disorders represent some of the most frequent and clinically significant challenges in emergency and critical care settings. Their impact can be abrupt, severe, and life-threatening. In many cases, a subtle change in sodium, potassium, chloride, or water balance may determine the difference between stability and rapid clinical deterioration. For this reason, the ability to recognize, interpret, and intervene promptly is a core skill for physicians who care for critically ill patients, whether in emergency departments, intensive care units, or high-dependency hospital settings. This book was conceived as a practical and accessible clinical tool. It is designed to integrate physiological understanding with bedside decision-making, providing a clear bridge between foundational science and real-time therapeutic action. Each chapter has been developed collaboratively by clinicians actively engaged in emergency and critical care practice across various healthcare systems. Their contributions reflect not only scientific knowledge, but the lived experience of caring for patients in contexts where urgency, uncertainty, and limited time demand clarity and precision. While electrolyte and internal environment alterations are deeply rooted in complex physiology, our goal has been to make their clinical reasoning straightforward. Diagnostic approaches, pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatment strategies are presented in a concise and applicable manner. We emphasize concepts that are essential for rapid assessment, careful correction, and prevention of iatrogenic harm. This work is dedicated to the medical professionals who stand at the bedside in the most critical moments, and to the patients whose resilience gives meaning to every clinical effort. It is our hope that this book will serve as a support, a guide, and a companion in the demanding and noble responsibility of emergency medicine and critical care.

Superintelligence Series Volume 2: Thinking in Machine Code: Dialogues between technology, knowledge, and culture
type: item
description: There are moments when history pushes us forward with force—out of the known, the comfortable, the “way things have always been done.” It places us before a new reality that does not ask for permission to emerge, to transform everything, and to leave us with questions that have no immediate answers. Artificial intelligence is one of those moments. And this book is one of its responses. Thinking in Machine Code: Dialogues between technology, knowledge, and culture does not mean ceasing to think as humans. It means daring to imagine new ways of knowing, teaching, learning, and living together in this accelerated era. This book is, precisely, an invitation to face that transformation—without fear, without denial, but also without naïveté. Here you will not find magic formulas. What you will find is something much more valuable: real experiences, committed research, deep reflections, and concrete results born from the collaborative work of people willing to unlearn in order to learn again. Each chapter is a testimony to that courage. This is not a book written from the center of the world, but from the South—from our universities, schools, classrooms, networks, and territories. From our accents, urgencies, questions, and possibilities. We speak here from and for Latin America, with everything that entails: creativity in scarcity, innovation from the community, and ethics rooted in reality rather than in the laboratory. And if this book exists, it is thanks to many wills converging on a common desire: to think together. For this reason, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all colleagues who responded to the PLAGCIS call. You did not simply answer an invitation—you joined a collective commitment. This book was not built through imposition but through resonance—through mutual listening, interdisciplinary dialogue, and intellectual generosity. Without you, none of this would have been possible. We hope that every reader who opens these pages feels they are not alone in th…
