Written primarily for professionals in library and information science but with applicability to archives and other information management industries, this handbook provides an overview of metadata work that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). DEI metadata work has several goals: enhancing diverse representation in descriptive metadata; improving discovery of diverse resources; and mitigating negative effects of inaccurate, outdated, or offensive terminology. Readers will gain a broad awareness of DEI-related issues in metadata creation and management; learn techniques for retroactively reviewing and updating existing metadata to address these issues; and develop strategies to create metadata that better meets DEI needs.

El derecho sucesorio, una rama del derecho privado, se ocupa de regular el traspaso de los bienes y derechos pertenecientes a un individuo fallecido hacia sus herederos. Este proceso, conocido como sucesión mortis causa, tiene como objetivo principal armonizar la libertad de disposición testamentaria del difunto con la salvaguardia de los herederos forzosos, aquellos que legalmente tienen derecho a recibir una porción de la herencia. Dentro del ámbito del derecho sucesorio, se establecen disposiciones normativas que rigen la distribución de los activos, así como los criterios de validez y formalidad de los testamentos. Además, se definen las legítimas, las cuales representan las porciones de la herencia destinadas a ser reservadas obligatoriamente para los herederos forzosos. Esta rama legal desempeña un papel fundamental en garantizar una distribución justa y equitativa de los bienes y derechos de una persona fallecida, al mismo tiempo que protege los derechos de los herederos forzosos y respeta la voluntad testamentaria del fallecido.

El Whistleblowing, conocido como “aquel que alerta” es esencial en la lucha contra la corrupción, ya que los whistleblowers identifican y reportan conductas ilícitas, contribuyendo así a la integridad estatal y al bien público. En varios Estados la corrupción alcanzada su más alto nivel conllevando pérdidas económicas significativas, en esta obra destacamos que el Whistleblowing se convierte en una herramienta vital, descubriendo un gran porcentaje de fraudes. Por lo tanto, es crucial implementar canales de denuncia efectivos y proteger a los informantes para combatir la corrupción y promover una administración pública ética y transparente. Este sistema no solo busca prevenir delitos, sino también corregir el mal gobierno en la administración pública. El Estado debería buscar estrategias prácticas para tutelar aquellos que denuncian prácticas indebidas, porque su valentía contribuye al bienestar del interés público. Transformándose los “whistlwblowers” en una pieza fundamental en la lucha contra la corrupción y en la promoción de una administración ética y transparente.
