Una introducción a los fundamentos del análisis reúne algunos temas básicos de análisis matemático y topología de la recta real. La intención de estos conceptos en el contexto de los números reales es ayudar al estudiante a aumentar la intuición para enfrentar parte de la temática expuesta en cursos superiores, en los que son tratados con mayor profundidad. Por ejemplo, las nociones de continuidad, convergencia y sucesiones que se presentan también en espacios métricos o, generalmente, en espacios topológicos. Es un libro adecuado para estudiantes de matemáticas y también es un sólido soporte para estudiantes de disciplinas afines que deben enfrentar cursos de matemáticas en su formación profesional. También constituye una buena referencia, refuerzo o guía para estudiantes de cálculo avanzado. Se presenta en el texto una serie de ejercicios que complementa, de forma muy natural, la teoría expuesta en cada uno de los capítulos, y se hace énfasis en que la exposición de los contenidos es simple, sin sacrificar la rigurosidad.

Artificial Intelligence in Capsule Endoscopy: A Gamechanger for a Groundbreaking Technique highlights the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) application in capsule endoscopy. AI will have a key role in the mid/long-term for gastrointestinal endoscopy and capsule endoscopy. This field is a prime area for the use of AI tools with over 50,000 images per endoscopy capsule video, making video analysis a time and resource consuming task and prone to error. With the application of AI image analysis tools (primarily Convolutional Neural Networks) we can decrease capsule endoscopy video reading time and resources and greatly benefit diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. In 15 chapters, this important reference provides a global and comprehensive perspective from the background information of AI, machine learning, deep learning and their implications in GI endoscopy. It showcases AI practical use in lesion detection and in relevant clinical indications (like obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and inflammatory bowel disease), and points to future applications of AI within the field. - Provides the current and developing practical application of AI tools in capsule endoscopy - Explains the disruptive nature of AI tools in capsule endoscopy video analysis to provide a better perspective on how AI will change the landscape of capsule endoscopy practice in the future - Includes specific lesion detection, delivering key summaries and practical applications regarding AI tools use - Bridges theorical foundations and practical utility of AI in capsule endoscopy

Historically, interventions designed to impact the lives of disabled people were predicated upon deficits-based models of disability. This began to change with the introduction of World Health Organization (WHO) frameworks, particularly the International Classification of Function (ICF), that emphasized that disability could only be understood in the context of interactions among health, environmental factors, and personal factors and by examining the impact of such factors on a person's activities and participation. The ICF identified personal factors as among the elements of a social-ecological model of disability but did not provide an extensive taxonomy of what constitutes such factors. The Positive Psychology of Personal Factors examines personal factors that come from the field of positive psychology and, as such, to begin to identify and build strengths-based approaches to promoting the full participation, dignity, and well-being of disabled people.

This book aims to serve the critical interests of the global community by supplying the most current knowledge and understanding of Covid-19 epidemiology, treatment, and prognoses. There was much uncertain and contradictory information published in the first year of the novel coronavirus. The dynamics of COVID-19 have now been realized, including the type of antibodies produced in infected patients and their limited lasting endurance. This book will set the record straight on the concept of “herd immunity” and explore the current vaccine trials taking place in different countries. This comprehensive book will illuminate recent advances regarding COVID-19 and offer a possible roadmap on how to move forward. Frontiers of COVID-19: A Pathophysiology and Epidemiology Roadmap of Novel Coronavirus Disease will be a vital and forward-looking guide for infectious disease clinicians, scientists and researchers, and students at the graduate level.

El amplio espectro temático característico de Plutarco incluye aquí escritos de índole ética y dietética, así como un elogio del matrimonio en que muestra un gran respeto por la capacidad intelectual de la mujer. Este segundo volumen de los Moralia abunda en el carácter misceláneo del conjunto de la obra, siempre al hilo de los variados intereses del autor y de las cuestiones que a su juicio son relevantes para la formación y el bienestar de sus contemporáneos. En'Sobre la fortuna', tratado muy breve, Plutarco relativiza la importancia de los dones que otorga la diosa en el nacimiento, y ensalza los de la inteligencia (previsión, sensatez, discreción...) para llevar una buena vida. El pequeño opúsculo'Sobre la virtud y el vicio'subraya que la primera propicia una existencia agradable mientras que el segundo la impide.'Consejos para conservar la salud'no es un tratado médico científico, sino un conjunto de recomendaciones empíricas, de medicina popular y para círculos amplios, sobre la dieta adecuada para una vida saludable, imprescindible para el desarrollo espiritual.'Deberes del matrimonio'es un discurso nupcial, dirigido a dos antiguos discípulos de Plutarco, acerca del modo de alcanzar la felicidad y la simbiosis, la amistad y la concordia, en el matrimonio (es reseñable que Plutarco subraye la necesidad de que la esposa se interese por la filosofía y la educación y cultive su espíritu). El'Banquete de los siete sabios', de autenticidad problemática, pertenece a la tradición del simposio dialogado, como El banquete platónico, y aborda multitud de cuestiones filosóficas y científicas. Por último,'Sobre la superstición'es una diatriba contra las falsas creencias y el ateísmo.
