Durante este brote, la informacion corrio como la polvora por las redes sociales e internet con mas rapidez incluso que la propagacion del propio virus, haciendo en muchos casos que los datos reales y contrastados se vieran relegados a un segundo plano en favor de las fake news. Esto es un problema para el personal sanitario, que en muchas ocasiones no dispone de tiempo para poder buscar informacion veraz que le sea util en su trabajo diario en el caso de enfrentarse con un paciente sospechoso de infeccion por el virus SARS-CoV-2. 50 PREGUNTAS Y RESPUESTAS SOBRE EL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) es un e-book que pretende hacer una modesta contribucion editorial aportando informacion rapida en un momento de dificultad para todos, y muy especialmente para el personal sanitario, autentico baluarte en la pandemia contribuyendo con su esfuerzo en esta crisis sanitaria que sufre el mundo. Se trata de ofrecer nuestro granito de arena a la causa y brindar el conocimiento y la informacion necesaria en momentos donde por la voragine informativa todos absorbemos gran informacion, muy diversa y en ocasiones sin clasificar correctamente. El equipo de autores, junto a la editorial Amazing Books, ha querido hacer este libro con un sencillo indice, donde el personal sanitario podra encontrar informacion relevante de forma facil y sencilla. Por acuerdo entre los autores y la editorial Amazing Books, el libro se distribuye de forma gratuita con un unico objetivo: tratar de ofrecer informacion fiable escrita por autores con gran experiencia tanto en hospitales, laboratorios de microbiologia o instituciones sanitarias, permitiendo hacer una lectura rapida sobre aspectos clave, centrandose en las caracteristicas biologicas del virus, la epidemiologia, los sintomas y la patogenia de esta enfermedad, los metodos diagnosticos de laboratorio y como manejar a los pacientes, asi como cuestiones sobre la gestion de esta pandemia y un breve analisis sobre algunas perspectivas de futuro.

Our technology shapes the way we live, interact, work, play, and even worship. Technology and its power are both old and newas is the wisdom we need to envision, design, build, and use it well. For Christians passionate about developing technology, its not always clear how their faith and work intersect. How can designing and using technology actually be a way of loving God and our neighbors?Veteran engineers and teachers Ethan Brue, Derek Schuurman, and Steve VanderLeest provide a field guide for fellow explorers working with technology. Using numerous case studies, historical examples, and personal stories, they explore issues such as: biblical themes and passages that relate to technology the ethics and norms involved in technology design how engineering and technology tap into human dreams for a better world Along the way they acknowledge the challenges arising from technology but also point to the wonderful possibilities it offers us and its ability to contribute to the common good.For Christians studying and working in engineering, computer science, technical design, architecture, and related fields, this book is packed with wisdom and practical guidance. By sharing what they have learned, the authors encourage readers to ask harder questions, aspire to more noble purposes, and live a life consistent with their faith as they engage with technology.

O trabalho aqui apresentado filia-se aos estudos de laboratório e teve por pilares teóricos Bruno Latour e o Pós-estruturalismo. Além desses, a Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR) também teve um papel primordial durante a analise. O principal objetivo da pesquisa foi o de observar e registrar as praticas de restauraço de ambientes, tidos como degradados, desenvolvidas atraves de uma serie de experimentos por um laboratorio de pesquisa universitario da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Para tanto, utilizei-me, em termos metodologicos, das premissas da etnografia pos-moderna. Ao longo desse processo, em vez de os artefatos serem estabilizados, alçando a condiço de fatos, portanto livres de controversias, ocorreu, por aço do coletivo, a proliferaço dos hibridos. Diante dessa proliferaço, a equipe do laboratorio se viu obrigada a arregimentar mais humanos e no humanos, o que implicou, para efeito de analise, a afirmaço de que, durante o tempo em que todo o trabalho dos pesquisadores foi acompanhado, foi possivel descrever no uma natureza pre-existente em processo de restauraço, mas que esta esteve todo o tempo em processo de construço pela equipe do laboratorio.
