Este libro se centra en promover competencias esenciales para la generación y la divulgación del conocimiento sostenible de calidad en la educación superior, especialmente en contextos digitales. Sus diferentes capitulos versan sobre la comunicacion argumentativa cientifica multilingue desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar. Se abordan tematicas como: a) el modelo metasociocognitivo de la composicion escrita y la neurodidactica aplicada a la escritura argumentativa, b) los modelos didacticos colaborativos y los sistemas didactico-digitales para la escritura argumentativa, y c) el ensayo como instrumento de evaluacion en L2 y la calidad en la evaluacion en la escritura argumentativa, asi como, las competencias docentes requeridas para promover este genero academico. Tambien se ofrecen experiencias innovadoras interdisciplinares sobre tematicas como: a) el potencial de los videos para mejorar la escritura argumentativa multilingue, b) la argumentacion como herramienta a fin de conocer las actitudes del estudiantado hacia el perfil profesional del audiodescriptor museistico, y c) el fomento de la inclusion mediante el subtitulado multilingue para personas sordas.

Este libro es una continuación de La Teoria del TODO por BEPE POPU, único en su género y como una Teoría del TODO con una interpretación completamente original. La teoría es simple y se puede poner en una hoja de papel, pero aqui esta explicado en un libro con algunos ejemplos reales derivados de la teoria y ayudan a comprender los efectos reales, observables pero inusuales, debido a la dificultad de comparacion con cualquier efecto conocido. La funcion de la mente humana es la comparacion, por lo que algunos efectos no han sido identificados hasta la fecha. Es una teoria que se explica de forma narrativa en 40 paginas. Todo en el libro tiene bases logicas y demostrables. Es la primera Teoria del TODO que no se refiere a los EFECTOS, en este libro las CAUSAS se suman al conocimiento HUMANO. Los efectos ya son conocidos y tenemos calculos, medidas, formulas, teoremas y mas, que no se niegan en esta teoria pero, no se hace referencia a ninguno de ellos, solo se explican las CAUSAS que faltan. Por ejemplo, se da una CAUSA y se explican las CAUSAS anteriores. En esta Teoria, el UNIVERSO no es el TODO, es solo una etapa del TODO. Esta teoria explica las CAUSAS de la ENERGIA, MASA, MASAS, ESPACIO, MOVIMIENTO, DESPLAZAMIENTO, INERCIA, GRAVEDAD, FOTON, ELECTRICIDAD, VIDA, HUMANIDAD, HUMANO, etc por lo cual ya conocemos los EFECTOS y como mencionamos tenemos casi todo en formulas matematicas. Este libro agrega las causas desconocidas que faltan a los EFECTOS conocidos. Este libro es para coleccionistas y si se aprueba la teoria presentada en este libro, el libro y la teoria seran de un valor inestimable y no me refiero monetario. Este es el fruto de 31 años de estudio de las CAUSAS y efectos presentados. No busque formulas en este libro, las formulas ya existen y algunas resultaran de esta teoria. En esta teoria se explica : El Universo es la MAQUINA mas simple de si misma, nosotros lo complicamos. Es una Teoria, una propuesta de verificacion y esta sujeta a aprobacion o rechazo.

A pandemia arrasou as vidas e as economías, deixounos unha sociedade máis vulnerable e, como herdanza, a Covid persistente. Algúns quixeron relativizar o impacto, pero outros tentamos axudar a combater o virus. A ciencia foi a taboa de salvacion a que nos agarramos en momentos de incerteza e angustia; protexeunos, achegounos ao benestar e, en definitiva, foi quen nos rescatou da pandemia. Este libro conta como reaccionamos e como o apoio a investigacion trouxo vacinas e terapias, aflorou a esperanza e comezamos a ver a luz ao final do tunel. Grazas ao aprendido, afrontaremos mellor os desafios no futuro, por iso compre coñecer a ciencia e aplicala a conciencia.

What are the mysterious numbers that unlock the secrets of the universe In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Antonio Padilla takes us on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics These include Graham s number which is so large that if you thought about it in the wrong way your head would collapse into a singularity TREE 3 whose finite value could never be reached before the universe reset itself and 10 120 which measures the desperately unlikely balance of energy the universe needs to exist Leading us down the rabbit hole to the inner workings of reality Padilla demonstrates how these unusual numbers are the key to unlocking such mind bending phenomena as black holes entropy and the problem of the cosmological constant which shows that our two best ways of understanding the universe contradict one another Combining cutting edge science with an entertaining cosmic quest Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them is an electrifying head twisting guide to the most fundamental truths of the universe
