Coaching nutricional (edición actualizada): Haz que tu dieta funcione
by Yolanda Fleta Jaime GiménezUn libro que no solo nos enseña qué comer, sino también a adoptar una actitud positiva que nos permita mantener nuestra motivación. El coaching ha entrado en la esfera de la nutrición. El éxito de la mayoría de los tratamientos que implican modificar la conducta alimentaria depende, en gran medida, de nuestra capacidad de llevar estos cambios a la práctica. Conseguirlo no es tarea fácil y es posible que en muchas ocasiones no estemos preparados para ello. Nuestro principal enemigo: la falta de adherencia al plan nutricional. El coaching nutricional nos ofrece un nuevo enfoque que nos enseña a superar este desafío. Esta innovadora disciplina se centra en la persona y la convierte en la protagonista del proceso, fomentando la autogestión y enseñando a adoptar una actitud positiva. Asimismo, postula la importancia de la consciencia de uno mismo, la responsabilidad, la confianza y la motivación. Estas son las reglas del juego que nos ayudarán a definir nuestros objetivos, mejorar nuestros hábitos, superar nuestra propia resistencia al cambio, hacer una valoración de nuestros puntos fuertes y débiles, a controlar los excesos y, en definitiva, a replantear nuestro estilo de vida de una manera permanente.
Cognitive Semantics of Artificial Intelligence: A New Perspective (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Alexander RaikovThis book addresses the issue of cognitive semantics’ aspects that cannot be represented by traditional digital and logical means. The problem of creating cognitive semantics can be resolved in an indirect way. The electromagnetic waves, quantum fields, beam of light, chaos control, relativistic theory, cosmic string recognition, category theory, group theory, and so on can be used for this aim. Since the term artificial intelligence (AI) appeared, various versions of logic have been created; many heuristics for neural networks deep learning have been made; new nature-like algorithms have been suggested. At the same time, the initial digital, logical, and neural network principles of representation of knowledge in AI systems have not changed a lot. The researches of these aspects of cognitive semantics of AI are based on the author's convergent methodology, which provides the necessary conditions for purposeful and sustainable convergence of decision-making.
Collective Biologies: Healing Social Ills through Sexual Health Research in Mexico
by Emily A. WentzellIn Collective Biologies, Emily A. Wentzell uses sexual health research participation as a case study for investigating the use of individual health behaviors to aid groups facing crisis and change. Wentzell analyzes couples' experiences of a longitudinal study of HPV occurrence in men in Cuernavaca, Mexico. She observes how their experiences reflected Mexican cultural understandings of group belonging through categories like family and race. For instance, partners drew on collective rather than individualistic understandings of biology to hope that men's performance of “modern” masculinities, marriage, and healthcare via HPV research would aid groups ranging from church congregations to the Mexican populace. Thus, Wentzell challenges the common regulatory view of medical research participation as an individual pursuit. Instead, she demonstrates that medical research is a daily life arena that people might use for fixing embodied societal problems. By identifying forms of group interconnectedness as “collective biologies,” Wentzell investigates how people can use their own actions to enhance collective health and well-being in ways that neoliberal emphasis on individuality obscures.

Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life
by Emily NagoskiA revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski&’s game-changing New York Times bestseller Come As You Are, featuring new information and research on mindfulness, desire, and pleasure that will radically transform your sex life.For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women&’s sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently—and far less seriously—than its male counterpart. That is, until Emily Nagoski&’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they&’re organized but how you feel about them. In the years since the book&’s initial publication, countless women have learned through Nagoski&’s accessible and informative guide that things like stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman&’s sexual wellbeing; they are central to it—and that even if you don&’t always feel like it, you are already sexually whole by just being yourself. This revised and updated edition continues that mission with new information and advanced research, demystifying and decoding the science of sex so that everyone can create a better sex life and discover more pleasure than you ever thought possible.

Come Realizzare i Vostri Sogni e Obiettivi
by Dave McAllenIn questo consiglio-ossessione che definisce la generazione, un autore importante passa attraverso tutte le schifezze per mostrarci come smettere di cercare di essere costantemente "perfetti", in modo che possiamo raggiungere il nostro pieno potenziale ed essere persone più felici. La storia è piena di consigli su come agire, comportarsi e fare tutto alla perfezione, raggiunti attraverso l'imitazione di un mentore. Così, ci sono giudici e veggenti che stabiliscono se si farà fortuna nella vita, se si eccellerà in una carriera e quant'altro. Ma Dave vi presenta la cruda realtà e la confortante verità: “Rule your destiny yourself”. “Come realizzare i vostri sogni e obiettivi” è il suo antidoto alla mentalità viziata e priva di sentimenti che ha infettato il mondo e riconfigurato una generazione, avvantaggiandoli con ogni dritta di grande pregio. Dave non è d'accordo sul fatto che, corroborato sia da ricerche storiche che da esempi accurati, le persone di successo diventino quello che sono oggi dipenda, non dalla capacità dei padrini e degli esperti di prevedere con precisione il nostro destino, ma dall'imparare a conoscere sé stessi e rimanere concentrati sui propri sogni. Tutti gli esseri umani hanno debolezze e mancanze con perdenti e vincitori, alti e bassi, grandi e piccole - non tutti noi possiamo diventare eccezionali e bravissimi. Ma se la direzione naturale della nostra vita viene cambiata, diventa un disastro ancora più grande. Dave ci consiglia di fare uno studio approfondito su noi stessi in modo da poter essere fedeli verso ciò che siamo stati destinati a diventare. Una volta fatto questo, abbracciate la vostra personalità di fondo e smettete di mettere il vostro destino nelle mani di altre persone - siano essi vostri coetanei, genitori, insegnanti, ecc. fatevi coraggio, evitate i sentimenti, rimanete concentrati, siate agguerriti e non vi rammaricate mai.

Não estamos aqui para transformar a alimentação num fardo e muito menos para obrigar as pessoas a comerem aquilo de que não gostam". Este é o livro pelo qual esperava há tanto tempo. Nunca mais faça dieta e seja feliz. "Achava que este ia ser um livro sobre dietas, com dicas para perder peso e de como preparar o corpinho para o fato-de-banho? Pois que não. Não é para isso que aqui estou. Estou aqui, isso sim, quase em jeito de omnipresença, para o acompanhar nesta estrondosa caminhada que é a motivação, essa condição que tanto nos tem faltado nos últimos tempos e da qual dependemos para sermos a melhor versão de nós."

Comer deve ser um prazer e não um sacrifício, o nosso corpo e mente agradecem. Sofia quer que coma, mas que coma bem, de forma saudável e feliz. Que alimente o corpo e que o trate bem porque só temos um. E se quiser comer bolos de vez em quando, pois que coma. Neste livro não vai encontrar proibições nem dietas iguais para todos. Nós não somos todos iguais: a alimentação deve ser adaptada às rotinas de cada um e não o contrário. Nunca viu um livro assim, pois não? É porque Sofia Liberal é única e especial e só quer o melhor para todos nós.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Containing and Expanding Therapeutic Possibilities (Critical Approaches to Health)
by Kevin DewComplementary and Alternative Medicine is a sociological investigation of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in contemporary society, and an exploration of the forces throughout the globe, across different institutions, and within different therapeutic spaces, that constrain or foster alternative medicine. Drawing on 30 years of research, the book identifies the trends in the use of CAM and explores the scientific, political and social challenges that CAM faces in relation to orthodox medicine. The author examines the varieties of CAM practices and how they manifest in different institutional spaces – including public inquiries, the orthodox medical practitioner’s consulting room, medical journals and the homes of those who use CAM. It also compares unorthodox practices in different geo-political settings, namely the global north and the global south. This book is valuable reading for higher-level undergraduate and postgraduate social science students, including those in psychology, sociology, anthropology, health sciences and related disciplines. It is relevant for courses in medical sociology, medical anthropology and social science and health, and a broader audience interested in contemporary health issues, controversies and alternative medicine.

by Doctora Clotilde VázquezLa guía de referencia para ayudar a las mujeres en un período clave: la menopausia. ¿Es una exageración ocuparse de la menopausia? Si son tan importantes los estrógenos, ¿por qué nos abandonan a mitad de la vida? ¿La menopausia son solo los sofocos? ¿Son normales los cambios de humor? ¿La menopausia engorda? ¿Produce cáncer el tratamiento hormonal? ¿Son iguales todas las menopausias?

Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application (Language, Cognition, and Mind #9)
by Lucas Bechberger Kai-Uwe Kühnberger Mingya LiuThis open access book is a timely contribution in presenting recent issues, approaches, and results that are not only central to the highly interdisciplinary field of concept research but also particularly important to newly emergent paradigms and challenges. The contributors present a unique, holistic picture for the understanding and use of concepts from a wide range of fields including cognitive science, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer science. The chapters focus on three distinct points of view that lie at the core of concept research: representation, learning, and application. The contributions present a combination of theoretical, experimental, computational, and applied methods that appeal to students and researchers working in these fields.
Concepts in Thought, Action, and Emotion: New Essays (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Christoph Demmerling Dirk SchröderIn recent years, the idea of a concept has become increasingly central to different areas of philosophy. This collection of original essays presents philosophical perspectives on the link between concepts and language, concepts and experience, concepts and know-how, and concepts and emotion. The essays span a variety of interrelated philosophical domains ranging from epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and the philosophy of emotions. Among the central questions addressed by the contributors are: What are concepts? What is nonconceptual content? Does perceptual experience have conceptual content? Is conceptual thought language dependent? How do we form new concepts? Does practical knowledge have propositional content? Is practical understanding conceptual (without being propositional)? Do emotions have a representational content and if so, is the representational content conceptual? Concepts in Thought, Action, and Emotion advances current debates about concepts and will interest scholars across a broad range of philosophical disciplines.
Concepts, Frames and Cascades in Semantics, Cognition and Ontology (Language, Cognition, and Mind #7)
by Thomas Gamerschlag Henk Zeevat Markus Schrenk Sebastian Löbner Tobias KalenscherThis open access book presents novel theoretical, empirical and experimental work exploring the nature of mental representations that support natural language production and understanding, and other manifestations of cognition. One fundamental question raised in the text is whether requisite knowledge structures can be adequately modeled by means of a uniform representational format, and if so, what exactly is its nature.Frames are a key topic covered which have had a strong impact on the exploration of knowledge representations in artificial intelligence, psychology and linguistics; cascades are a novel development in frame theory. Other key subject areas explored are: concepts and categorization, the experimental investigation of mental representation, as well as cognitive analysis in semantics. This book is of interest to students, researchers, and professionals working on cognition in the fields of linguistics, philosophy, and psychology.

Confessions of the Flesh: The History of Sexuality, Volume 4
by Michel FoucaultThe fourth and final volume in Michel Foucault&’s acclaimed History of Sexuality, completed just before his death in 1984 and finally available to the public One of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, Michel Foucault made an indelible impact on Western thought. The first three volumes in his History of Sexuality—which trace cultural and intellectual notions of sexuality, arguing that it has been profoundly shaped by the power structures applied to it—constitute some of Foucault&’s most important work. This fourth volume posits that the origins of totalitarian self-surveillance began with the Christian practice of confession. The manuscript had long been secreted away, in accordance with Foucault&’s stated wish that there be no posthumous publication of his unpublished work. With the sale of the Foucault archives in 2013, Foucault&’s nephew felt that the time had come to publish this final volume in Foucault&’s seminal history. Philosophically, it is a chapter in his hermeneutics of the desiring subject. Historically, it focuses on the remodeling of subjectivity carried out by the early Christian Fathers, who set out to transform the classical Logos of truthful human discourse into a theologos—the divine Word of a pure sovereign. What did God will in the matter of righteous sexual practice? Foucault parses out the logic of the various responses proffered by theologians over the centuries, culminating with Saint Augustine&’s fascinating discussion of the libido. Sweeping and deeply personal, Confessions of the Flesh is a tour de force from a philosophical master
