Alguna vez se ha preguntado ¿Qué ocurre cuando envejecemos? o ¿Qué cuidados debemos brindarle al adulto mayor?

En este curso introductorio usted aprenderá sobre los aspectos básicos del envejecimiento, pautas de envejecimiento activo y el cuidado al adulto mayor en diferentes escenarios. Amplíe su conocimiento sobre esta temática en momentos claves de envejecimiento de la población como los que vivimos actualmente a nivel mundial.

Si después de tomar este curso usted está interesado o interesada en adquirir un mayor conocimiento y realizar un posgrado lo invitamos a conocer nuestro campus y la Maestría en Cuidado de Enfermería al Adulto Mayor. 

Se satisfará la curiosidad del alumno sobre la estructura molecular de sustancias, tanto naturales como otras creadas por el Químico Orgánico. Percibirá su importancia sobre la preservación de la vida, el control de enfermedades y la producción eficiente de alimentos, así como las limitaciones que tenemos en la producción de energía y nuestra incidencia sobre el medio ambiente. Se introducirá en el apasionante arte de la separación, purificación y determinación de estructuras.

Afortunadamente, cada vez hay más personas sensibles a las especiales privaciones y sufrimientos que afectan a los menores de edad. La explotación sexual de las niñas, la utilización de los niños como soldados, el trabajo infantil, el tráfico internacional de menores… y todo esto sin contar con el hambre, la guerra y las epidemias. Tras dos tímidos precedentes, la comunidad internacional se hizo eco de estas exigencias en la Convención Internacional de Derechos del Niño de 1989 y en la Convención de las Naciones Unidas con mayor número de ratificaciones, aunque con muy limitada eficacia en la realidad.

Nuestro propósito es acercar a todos los profesionales que tratan con la infancia, a los familiares, o a cualquiera que tenga interés y sensibilidad a la respuesta que el Ordenamiento Jurídico puede prestar a esas exigencias específicas. Tomaremos como eje común, sobre el que se articulan los distintos temas, la Convención Internacional de los Derechos del Niño de 1989.

Los cuatro ámbitos sobre los que trabajaremos serán:

• La sustracción internacional de menores.
• Menores en desamparo y tutela administrativa.
• La protección sociolaboral.
• Situaciones de separación de los progenitores.

¿Cómo abordar los diferentes problemas específicos de la infancia? ¿Qué respuestas puede ofrecer el sistema jurídico? En este curso nos proponemos una aproximación crítica a la realidad y a la regulación jurídica española, europea e internacional de la protección del menor.

Want to teach your students how to tackle difficult community problems using creative and novel solutions?

This education and teacher training course has been developed to train teachers to use design thinking in the classroom to find creative and innovative solutions to everyday community problems. It is based on Cooper Hewitt’s innovative classroom activity called Design in the Classroom as well as on our national workshop series, Smithsonian Design Institute.

In this pilot version of the course, you will define design and learn how it can be many things to many people. You will also learn the stages of the design process and work through each stage to create a design solution to a real-life community problem. Finally, you will take design into your own classroom by discussing how design thinking can be used to address required curriculum, evaluating existing design-based lesson plans, and creating a design-based lesson plan for your students.

Let our expert tutor talk you through some complex exam-style questions based on Study Sessions 1 and 2.

In this course, you will learn how to design and configure the core components of an on-premises Enterprise Voice deployment, implement enhanced calling features, and manage IP Phones. You will also learn how to implement emergency dialing and optimize your network for Enterprise Voice. Finally, you will learn how to monitor and maintain voice quality.

This course is the third in a series of three courses designed to help you prepare for the 70-333 “Deploying Enterprise Voice with Skype for Business 2015” exam.

Savez-vous que les machines les plus puissantes au monde sont massivement parallèles ? Saviez-vous que les objets les plus courants de notre vie quotidienne, comme les voitures ou les smartphones, sont de véritables ordinateurs parallèles ?

En effet, les voitures les plus simples embarquent une trentaine de capteurs et processeurs sur lesquels s'exécutent différents programmes qui coopèrent. Les véhicules les plus sophistiqués dépassent d'ailleurs la centaine de capteurs et processeurs... et ne parlons pas des véhicules autonomes qui se profilent dans un avenir proche. D'ailleurs, vous savez tous qu'internet peut également être vu comme un système massivement parallèle ?

Bref, les systèmes parallèles ont déjà envahi notre vie quotidienne et sont présents dans tous les secteurs. La principale conséquence est que l'informaticien d'aujourd'hui se doit de maîtriser ce type de programmation, qui est loin d'être trivial. En effet, tôt ou tard, il ne pourra qu'être confronté à ce type de problèmes.

L'objectif du MOOC « Programmation Concurrente » est de vous donner un aperçu de ce domaine. Nous y présenterons les problèmes posés par la concurrence, les solutions algorithmiques proposés (moniteurs, sémaphores, etc.) et illustrerons nos propos à l'aide du langage Java, qui, dans sa version 8 (en fait depuis la version 7), intègre de nombreux mécanismes permettant au programmeur désireux de comprendre la programmation concurrence, de s'y focaliser sans avoir à manipuler des mécanismes de bas niveau, comme ceux que l'on trouve dans de nombreux langages (par exemple, C avec les bibliothèques Posix).

Ce cours est principalement destiné à des personnes maîtrisant déjà au moins un langage de programmation, objet si possible. Il est dérivé d'une unité d'enseignement de troisième année dispensée à l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie, le premier établissement universitaire à avoir proposé en France, en 1967, un diplôme d'informatique.

Afin que vous puissiez mieux suivre ce MOOC, il est nécessaire de connaître le langage Java. À ce titre, des ressources de préparation sont à votre disposition via le lien suivant : http://lip6.fr/Fabrice.Kordon/moocprc2017.php

Have you ever encountered any matters of life and death? Do they have any meanings to you? Are they mysteries that you could never understand? Or are there any facts about them yet to be uncovered? Are you prepared if they happen unexpectedly in your life? How would you understand them?

If you have ever thought about these questions, this course is for you.

This course begins with a micro-movie presenting a case of fatal traffic accident with a family. You will start reflecting matters of life and death from the perspectives of different family roles. You will then expand your understanding through the journey from birth through ageing and illnesses to death, which forms the core components of this course. An immersive card game and polling questions are designed to articulate and share your own viewpoints. This course will amaze you with diverse interpretations and answers to these perennial questions. This introductory course also prepares you for another advanced course in applied ethics.

The experience of war has changed fundamentally – not only for those fighting and reporting, but also for those on the home front. High-tech nations wage wars from a distance using satellite-guided weaponry while non-state military actors, terrorist organizations, and citizen journalists have increasingly added new voices and visual perspectives to the conversation about conflict.

The ubiquity of smartphones, internet access, and social media transports the experience and complexity of war directly into our lives. Cyberspace offers greater freedoms and access to information at the same time as we discover a dramatic global rise of cyber espionage, internet censorship, and surveillance.

In this course, we map this emerging new terrain where violent conflict, information technology, and global media intersect and where the old distinctions between battlefront and home front, between soldier and civilian, between war and entertainment, and between public and private are being redrawn. 

Considering these changes, this course engages with questions surrounding:

• The relationship between media, information technology, and war
• How violent conflict is presented in the media and the responsibilities of journalists during wartime
• The effect of instantaneous, worldwide reporting on battle and the politics of conflict
• How we can understand and critically engage with media and information technology

In order to engage with these questions, this course is taught through a number of conventional and unconventional forms of learning methods and activities. These include lecture videos, questionnaires, and discussion fora. But it also includes practical, experiential elements taught through crowdsourcing, individual research, critical viewing, media and image analysis, and surveys. Combined, these activities allow you to gain fresh and timely insights into what happens beneath the surface of the screen in front of you. They enable you to gain a deeper understanding of how the politics of today's wars play out on and behind the digital screens in our hypermediatized age.

How can we strengthen sustainability? By empowering individuals and communities to transform and balance dynamic natural resources, economic prosperity, and healthy populations.

In this course, you’ll explore productive and disruptive social, ecological, and economic intersections – the “triple bottom line.” You’ll investigate a spectrum of global, national, regional, municipal and personal relationships that are increasing resiliency. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to effectively locate your interests, and to leverage optimistic change within emerging 21st century urban environments.

This course will describe fundamental paradigm shifts that are shaping sustainability. These include connectivity, diversity, citizen engagement, collaboration source tracing, mapping, transportation, and integrative, regenerative design. We will take examples from cities around the globe; making particular use of the complex evolution of site-specific conditions within the Connecticut River watershed. In addition we will present tools and strategies that can be utilized by individuals, communities, and corporations to orchestrate effective and collective change.

Each week, lessons will highlight the significance of clean water as a key indication of ecosystem, community and human health. Learners will be asked to investigate and share information about their local environment.

Finally, we will note the impact of such disruptive forces as industrial pollution, changing governance, privatization of public services, mining of natural resources, public awareness, and climate change. A fundamental course goal will be to characterize indicators of economic prosperity and happiness that relate to environmental sustainability – and the capacity of individuals to create change.

What is a PMO, and how does it work?

This course focuses on the Project Management Office (PMO) and the governance techniques used to monitor and control the delivery of projects and programs.
