Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versión en castellano del libro "Biology Made Real". Traducido por IA y editado por el autor. Introducción Siempre me ha motivado entender qué es la biología para nosotros como humanos. Qué significa entender la biología y cómo puedo hacer que tenga sentido para mis alumnos. He leído todo lo que he podido y he reflexionado, he discutido y escuchado, he enseñado y observado. Este libro trata de compartir lo que he aprendido con mis clases de biología de secundaria. «No sólo es probable que este libro cambie tu forma de enseñar biología, sino también tu percepción de ti mismo dentro del mundo vivo.» —Dr. Alex Sinclair, Instituto de Educación, Universidad de St Mary, Twickenham. Lo que encontrarás: —Una visión de una educación de biología integrada y significativa. —Un marco de enseñanza que se centra en la construcción de significado y reduce el tiempo de planificación. —Formas de crear una narrativa que unifica temas dispares. —Una taxonomía de la comprensión que permite la resolución de problemas con una carga de trabajo mínima. —Ejemplos probados en el aula. Capítulo 1: La biología significativa se refiere principalmente a los organismos: Este capítulo sienta las bases de todo el libro. Reúne muchos hilos para definir lo que considero más significativo para los estudiantes de biología de secundaria. Y, por tanto, lo que podemos hacer al respecto a la hora de diseñar nuestras clases y planes de estudio y de pensar en cómo progresan los estudiantes en su formación en biología. La planificación de la construcción de significados ha aumentado enormemente el interés y la motivación por aprender en mi clase. Capítulos 2 y 3: La construcción de significado mediante la teoría de la variación: A continuación presento una poderosa teoría pedagógica, relativamente desconocida y a menudo mal entendida. La teoría de la variación. En estos capítulos me propongo demostrar lo útil que es—y lo fácil que resulta utilizarla—en el aula de biología de secundaria, con muchos ejemplos. Capítulo 4: Cómo integrar organismos, ecología y evolución: Ahora reúno los capítulos anteriores para presentar un nuevo marco de enseñanza para la construcción de significado que reduce el tiempo de planificación y se centra en la biología. Capítulo 5: Conceptos del organismo que unen un curso de biología: Aquí discuto dos conceptos que creo que pueden unificar todos los temas del plan de estudios. 1. Ver la biología a través de los sistemas termodinámicos y 2. Ver la biología a través de la evolución ecológica mediante el concepto de estrategias vitales. Expongo las razones y hablo de cómo he presentado estas ideas a los alumnos. Capítulo 6: Enseñar el pensamiento sistémico para ayudar a los alumnos a ver la interconexión: Muestro cómo los diagramas de existencias de flujo son muy útiles para el aula de biología y doy ejemplos. A continuación, presento una nueva taxonomía para entender los sistemas biológicos que permite la resolución de problemas en biología. Capítulo 7: Establecer una cultura de pensamiento: Este capítulo se centra en los cómos y los porqués de la integración de la taxonomía en los planes de estudio de biología. Doy ejemplos de cómo la utilizo y ejemplos de las respuestas de mis alumnos de cursos de secundaria. Capítulo 8: Navegar por el aula y la complejidad biológica: Este capítulo concluye el libro considerando la complejidad de nuestra asignatura y del aula.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las ciencias y las técnicas han formado parte, desde el principio de la civilización, del desarrollo de la sociedad. Los cambios que han caracterizado las diferentes etapas del pensamiento científico se han producido dentro del marco de determinadas formaciones sociales y en condiciones específicas de producción del conocimiento. En este libro se aborda la manera en que se relacionan ciencia y sociedad: las formas de valorización social de las investigaciones, el sistema de trabajo en el interior de los laboratorios, las razones ideológicas de las teorías científicas, los mecanismos de financiación de la indagaciones científicas, las luchas jerárquicas entre los sabios y académicos, etc. Un conjunto de problemas que están más que nunca implicados en nuestros grandes problemas sociales. La explosión de las nanotecnologías, la controversia sobre los OGM, el cambio climático, etc., tantas temáticas cuya comprensión y control implican también conocer mejor las dinámicas sociales que forman parte de la producción de conocimientos y de las innovaciones. La presente obra, refundición de Sociología de las ciencias, publicada en 1995, muestra un planteamiento completo de todos estos problemas, con numerosos ejemplos y una muy amplia documentación. Presenta las diferentes formas de articulación ciencia/sociedad (emergencia de las ciencias, dinámica de innovación y democracia técnica) y los principales mecanismos sociales que hacen vivir a las ciencias (instituciones, organizaciones, intercambios entre investigadores, elaboración de contenidos, etc.). Este libro permite aprehender tanto la cultura material y cognitiva de un laboratorio como el funcionamiento del mercado de empleo científico. Más allá de la referencia a los grandes autores, corrientes de pensamiento y debates, ayuda a comprender mejor qué la sociedad y aquellas personas que tiene el poder decisorio fuerzan el desarrollo de las ciencias y de las técnicas, y qué los artesanos de estas últimas imponen a cambio sus lógicas propias. Habla así sobre la sociología de "la sociedad de los conocimientos”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes a closer look how the cell organelles Golgi apparatus (also known as the Golgi complex or Golgi body), and centriole are structurally and functionally intertwined. Initially, it was believed that the role of Golgi complex is limited to the packaging and preparation for secretion of various cellular proteins, while the centriole participates in cell division and cilia formation. However, since their discovery nearly 200 years ago, it became clear that these two organelles are interacting, and that their functions are much more complex and far reaching than previously thought. Recent findings indicate that the Golgi–Centriole relationship may be important for directional protein transport, cell polarization and cell cycle progression. Current studies indicate that Golgi and centriole also participate in development and act as cellular and immunological sensors, and that their abnormalities lead to cell and developmental abnormalities, Alzheimer, cancer, various lipid disorders and neurological and immunological diseases in humans. This volume combines the latest information on the structure, molecular composition, and roles of Golgi and centriole in various cellular functions and diseases. The better understanding of the Golgi–centriole interactions may lead to the development of novel therapies for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of DNA advanced human knowledge in a way comparable to the major theories in physics, surpassed only by discoveries such as fire or the number zero. However, it also created conceptual shortcuts, beliefs and misunderstandings that obscure the natural phenomena, hindering its better understanding. The deep conviction that no human knowledge is perfect, but only perfectible, should function as a fair safeguard against scientific dogmatism and enable open discussion. With this aim, this book will offer to its readers 30 chapters on current trends in the field of DNA replication. As several contributions in this book show, the study of DNA will continue for a while to be a leading front of scientific activities.

This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bacterial Physiology was inaugurated as a discipline by the seminal research of Maaløe, Schaechter and Kjeldgaard published in 1958. Their work clarified the relationship between cell composition and growth rate and led to unravel the temporal coupling between chromosome replication and the subsequent cell division by Helmstetter et al. a decade later. Now, after half a century this field has become a major research direction that attracts interest of many scientists from different disciplines. The outstanding question how the most basic cellular processes - mass growth, chromosome replication and cell division - are inter-coordinated in both space and time is still unresolved at the molecular level. Several particularly pertinent questions that are intensively studied follow: (a) what is the primary signal to place the Z-ring precisely between the two replicating and segregating nucleoids? (b) Is this coupling related to the structure and position of the nucleoid itself? (c) How does a bacterium determine and maintain its shape and dimensions? Possible answers include gene expression-based mechanisms, self-organization of protein assemblies and physical principles such as micro-phase separations by excluded volume interactions, diffusion ratchets and membrane stress or curvature. The relationships between biochemical reactions and physical forces are yet to be conceived and discovered. This e-book discusses the above mentioned and related questions. The book also serves as an important depository for state-of-the-art technologies, methods, theoretical simulations and innovative ideas and hypotheses for future testing. Integrating the information gained from various angles will likely help decipher how a relatively simple cell such as a bacterium incorporates its multitude of pathways and processes into a highly efficient self-organized system. The knowledge may be helpful in the ambition to artificially reconstruct a simple living system and to develop new antibacterial drugs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autophagy principally serves an adaptive function to protect organisms against diverse human pathologies, including cancer and neurodegeneration. Recent developments using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models show the involvement of the autophagy pathway in immunity and inflammation. Moreover, direct interactions between autophagy proteins and immune signalling molecules have also been demonstrated. Defects in autophagy - similar to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and aging - through autophagy gene mutation and/or microbial antagonism, may underlie the pathogenesis of many infectious diseases and inflammatory syndromes. In spite of the increasing awareness of the importance of autophagy in these pathophysiological conditions, this process remains underestimated and is often overlooked. As a consequence, its role in the initiation, stability, maintenance, and progression of these diseases are still poorly understood. This book reviews the recent advances regarding the functions of the autophagy pathway and autophagy proteins in immunity and inflammation, focusing on their role in self-nonself distinction, their implications in innate and adaptive immune responses and their dysregulation in the pathology of certain inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how the brain works is undoubtedly the greatest challenge for human intelligence and one of the most ambitious goals of contemporary science. We are certainly far from this goal, but significant advancements in several fields of Neuroscience and Neurobiology are being obtained at an increasing pace. The NATO ASI School in Neurobiology, held in Erice May 2-12,1995, as the 23rd Course of the International School of Biophysics, provided an update on three basic topics: Biophysics and Molecular Biology ofIon Channels, Sensory Transduction, and Higher Order Functions. Current knowledge on these subjects was covered by formal lectures and critical discussions between lecturers and participants. This book collects original contributions from those scientists who attended the School. Many students presented their results in poster sessions, steering lively informal discussions. A selection of these contributions is also included. A major portion of the program of the School was devoted to a general overview of current trends of thought and experimental approaches in neurobiology, emphasising the importance of understanding molecular aspects of the elementary events underlying sensory transduction and processing in the nervous system, without indulging however in a pure reductionistic view of such complex phenomena. Recent studies of molecular biology and the electrophysiology of heterologously expressed ionic channels, have shed new light on the molecular mechanisms underlying ionic permeation of excitable membranes and its regulation by physical and chemical parameters.
