      • Editorial Universidad Nacional de Quilmes - EUNQ

        The National University of Quilmes is an Argentinian public university that was founded in 1988. The editorial policy is considered one of the key axes for the university projection and integration with the educational environment. Therefore, it is a vital tool for increasing social visibility and for disseminating works that provide a true contribution to the knowledge and cultural heritage of Argentina and the world. The Institutional Editorial Program consists of the Publishing House, the publishing units of the Social Sciences, Administration and Economics Departments and of the Virtual University of Quilmes. The catalogue has a mainly academic profile with living collections and periodicals that contribute to social and scientific debates. Thus, it facilitates the dissemination of knowledge and of the outcomes of the university scientific research and of other national and foreign spheres. It also includes translations of works that provide new views for the curricular and extracurricular debate. The catalogue is enriched with special editions that gather artists and role models of the national and regional culture and that enhance the dialogue and interaction between the university and the community.

        The Forest of the Future – A New Reality

        Understanding the ecosystem

        by Hans Jürgen Böhmer

        What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.

        The National Children's Study 2014

        An Assessment

        by Greg J. Duncan, Nancy J. Kirkendall, and Constance F. Citro, Editors; Panel on the Design of the National Children's Study and Implications for the Generalizability of Results; Committee on National Statistics; Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Board on Children, Youth, and Families; Institute of Medicine; National Research Council

        The National Children's Study (NCS) was authorized by the Children's Health Act of 2000 and is being implemented by a dedicated Program Office in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The NCS is planned to be a longitudinal observational birth cohort study to evaluate the effects of chronic and intermittent exposures on child health and development in the U.S.. The NCS would be the first study to collect a broad range of environmental exposure measures for a national probability sample of about 100,000 children, followed from birth or before birth to age 21. Detailed plans for the NCS were developed by 2007 and reviewed by a National Research Council / Institute of Medicine panel. At that time, sample recruitment for the NCS Main Study was scheduled to begin in 2009 and to be completed within about 5 years. However, results from the initial seven pilot locations, which recruited sample cases in 2009-2010, indicated that the proposed household-based recruitment approach would be more costly and time consuming than planned. In response, the Program Office implemented a number of pilot tests in 2011 to evaluate alternative recruitment methods and pilot testing continues to date. At the request of Congress, The National Children's Study 2014 reviews the revised study design and proposed methodologies for the NCS Main Study. This report assesses the study's plan to determine whether it is likely to produce scientifically sound results that are generalizable to the United States population and appropriate subpopulations. The report makes recommendations about the overall study framework, sample design, timing, content and need for scientific expertise and oversight. The National Children's Study has the potential to add immeasurably to scientific knowledge about the impact of environmental exposures, broadly defined, on children\'s health and development in the United States. The recommendations of this report will help the NCS will achieve its intended objective to examine the effects of environmental influences on the health and development of American children.

        Retirement +01

        by Loretta Li & Everyone Press Team

        Population aging is becoming an increasingly prominent social issue. As more and more Christians are reaching the end of their occupational career or have already retired, they need to adapt to and cope with this major turn in life. Can the church help them turn this threat into opportunity? Also, many of the retirees are still in good shape, both physically and mentally. They can well start another page in their life. How does the church encourage them to contribute to God’s ministry with their skills and experiences?   This book targets at readers who are retirees or about to retire. It encourages them to enter into a closer relationship with God and, as they start a new phase in life, to share and pass on their grace of life with the missions and dreams they have received from God. The book comprises four chapters, namely “Me in Retrospect”, “New Wine and New Wineskin”, “A Blessed Life” and “Eternity and Passing On”. It is good for personal reading and even better for group study and sharing at fellowship meetings. It is aimed at helping readers to achieve the following goals:   Stocktaking and reflecting on life so far, refreshing spiritually in God and starting the next phase in life; Experiencing the joy of walking with God, shaking off all the secular conventions and restraints and sharing the Gospel freely with others; Encouraging retirees to work hard to promote the kingdom of God while they may.

        The Civil Engineers

        by Hugh Ferguson , Mike Chimes (Author)

        Many Victorian engineers have become household names, now, in the 21st century, with high speed rail, sky-reaching buildings and clean water on-demand we take civil engineers’ skills for granted. This is the story of the oldest professional engineering institution, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), and the people who made it; the men and women that have shaped the world around us with the projects they design, build and maintain and in doing do so have helped to improve the lives of millions of people. Opening the doors on the ICE’s extensive archives, this highly illustrated colour history looks at the development of the profession over nearly 200 years, charting the successes of construction from the great engineering advances of Victorian times to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the growth of the ICE into a global knowledge network with a membership of more than 80,000. With biographies of some of the great engineers who made these changes possible, including ICE past presidents: Thomas Telford, the first president and, for many, the greatest civil engineer of all time; George and Robert Stephenson, father and son pioneers of the British railway revolution; Sir John Fowler, responsible for the world’s first underground railway; Sir Joseph Bazalgette, creator of London’s sewer system; Sir Benjamin Baker, creator of the Forth Railway Bridge and the Aswan Dam; and Basil Mott, designer and engineer of the Mersey Road Tunnel. Explore the colourful history of the development of civil engineering and its professional institution in this informative and interesting account from authors with extensive knowledge of the ICE. The Civil Engineers is a fascinating read for all those interested in the civil engineering industry and its impact on the world, as well as an overview of the ICE and its key players for civil engineers working towards ICE membership.
