| "Evolution of the Human Sociality: A Quest for the Origin of Our Social Behavior" |
| "Through the process of evolution, animals have developed their biological features and their cultures based on their surrounding environments. How we live our lives today is a direct result of features developed from our primate ancestors as they adapted to new environments. In primatology, it is essential to think about how cultural development and biological natures are inseparable. This course will help you rediscover the process of evolution and will introduce primatological studies conducted by researchers at Kyoto University, Japan. Based on carefully conducted research on primate species, we will explore the origins of human beings and provide you with examples of common similarities between human beings and non-human primates. We will analyze basic features, such as foraging, mating, aggression, and communication from the primatological viewpoint. Furthermore, cultural and social aspects of human society, from the formation of family groups to community activities, will be considered thoroughly, in comparison to those of monkeys and apes. Our goal is to broaden your view of humans to a wider extent and think dynamically about your biology in terms of human evolution. Through acquiring knowledge of basic primatology in this course, you will establish a viewpoint to think and discuss the evolutionary process of human, and human society, in conjunction with those of our close relatives."

| "The Extremes of Life: Microbes and Their Diversity" |
| "Life on our planet is diverse. While we can easily recognize this in our everyday surroundings, an even more diverse world of life can be seen when we look under a microscope. This is the world of microorganisms. Microorganisms are everywhere, and although some are notorious for their roles in human disease, many play important roles in sustaining our global environment. Among the wide variety of microorganisms, here we will explore those that thrive in the most extreme environments, the extremophiles. In this course, we will discover how diverse life is on our planet and consider the basic principles that govern evolution. We will also learn how we can classify organisms. Following this, we will have a look at several examples of extreme environments, and introduce the microorganisms that thrive under these harsh conditions. We will lay emphasis on the thermophiles, extremophiles that grow at high temperatures and will study how proteins from thermophiles can maintain their structure and function at high temperatures."

Cada disciplina del conocimiento encuentra en este singular ámbito, una particularidad, ya sea esta la biología, la geología, la geofísica, la geodesia, su historia, y la particular presencia humana. Es el continente de mayor altura media del planeta. Se trata de una gran meseta, cubierta mayoritariamente de hielo. El Polo Sur se encuentra en la gran meseta polar de 2835 metros de altura, en donde el espesor de la capa de hielo alcanza mas de 2700 msnm. Si los hielos que la cubren desaparecieran el continente emergería 900 metros por sobre los niveles actuales de su suelo. Es el continente en el que se registran las temperaturas más bajas del planeta, con una mínima de casi -90° C. En Antártida viven especies con particularidades como mamíferos que nadan o aves que no vuelan. Focas, elefantes, lobos, ballenas, y una gran variedad de pingüinos. La configuración del campo magnético terrestre convierte al Antártico en una ventana abierta la física solar. Esta configuración del campo magnético, con sus líneas de fuerza entrantes en los polos, posibilitan el ingreso de partículas cargadas eléctricamente, o plasma, proveniente del sol. Esta es la causa de una serie de fenómenos propios de altas latitudes, como las grandes variaciones magnéticas, las perturbaciones ionosféricas y las auroras polares. En este curso en línea, conocerás que El Antártico es además el mayor reservorio de agua dulce del planeta. Los icebergs son verdaderos depósitos flotantes de agua dulce. Se identifican cinco polos, el geográfico, el magnético, el geomagnético, el polo de frío y el de inaccesibilidad relativa. En el curso de biología conocerás su significado y porque hay una línea en la que la brújula funciona al revés. El problema del ozono. El vórtice polar o corriente del jet polar, explica el confinamiento de la depresión estacional de ozono, diferente a la del polo Norte. Antártida es el único continente sin población permanente y el único en donde no existe el concepto de espacio nacional, tal como lo conocemos. Se rige por un tratado ejemplar, el Tratado Antártico. El Comité Científico del Tratado Antártico (SCAR.), es su componente de ciencia y aprenderás como funciona esta norma singular."

| "Droit d'asile et des réfugiés" |
| "Qu'est-ce que l'asile ? Qu'est-ce que le principe de non-refoulement ? Qui doit être reconnu et protégé comme réfugié ? Ces questions relatives au droit d'asile et des réfugiés sont à la fois anciennes et contemporaines. Que vous soyez décideur, magistrat, avocat, défenseur des droits humains, vous devrez répondre à ces questions. Les réponses sont complexes. Elles exigent des connaissances théoriques et pratiques précises, tant en droit national et régional qu'en droit international. L'analyse approfondie de la convention de Genève de 1951, relative aux réfugiés, vous permettra de maîtriser ces questions. Cette convention demeure la pierre angulaire de la protection internationale des réfugiés. Elle est au coeur de ce cours en ligne. Vous analyserez en detail le principe de non-refoulement ainsi que la définition du réfugié. Cette définition permet - comme l'empreinte que vous voyez dans l'image ci-dessus - d'identifier les personnes qui, juridiquement, doivent être reconnues comme bénéficiaires du statut de réfugié et de la protection internationale. À l'aide d'un outil conceptuel, la théorie des trois échelles, vous analyserez de façon rigoureuse et structurée à la fois chaque élément distinct de la définition du réfugié (persécution, risque, preuve) et, dans une approche holistique, l'ensemble de la définition. En confrontant l'analyse théorique à des situations pratiques, vous constaterez que, correctement interprétée, la convention de Genève demeure efficace et impose, aujourd'hui encore, de protéger comme refugiés ( refugees ) de nombreux fugitifs ( Fl uchtlingen ). Vous suivrez aussi le parcours du réfugié - comme ce labyrinthe que représente également l'image que vous voyez ci-dessus - pour mesurer la nécessité d'une bonne connaissance du droit dans les procédures. Au-dela du droit, vous verrez aussi l'importance d'une approche interdisciplinaire, notamment pour mesurer la crédibilité du récit d'un requerant d'asile. Vous verrez l'importance des protections régionales, subsidiaires ou complémentaires. Vous vous interrogerez encore sur les défis futurs, comme la question des réfugiés climatiques. Avec ce cours Droit d'asile et des réfugiés , vous saurez si un migrant peut ou non être refoulé vers un autre pays, s'il doit être inclus dans la définition du réfugié ou en être exclu, s'il faut contester une décision relative au statut de réfugié. Tout cela, vous le ferez en developpant un raisonnement juridique rigoureux."

These analytical tools are the ones most used by applied macroeconomists—including those at the IMF. You will learn both how to technically implement these tools and to interpret their results. The course will guide you through the different sectors of an economy. It will present tools to assess the relevant sector and its vulnerabilities. These applied tools will be simple to apply and they will bring out the critical information that an economist needs to make an assessment. Beyond the tools themselves, we’ll also be showing how to refine and interpret their output. We will be doing more than just plugging numbers into a spreadsheet formula. We will want to use the results of these tools – filtered through our judgement – to develop a narrative of a country’s economic situation. To help you make this course more hands-on, you will be examining a case study country called “Diagnostica.” We will run through a series of sector-by-sector assessments. Along the way, we will be demonstrating how to apply the diagnostic by using different country examples. Then, you will be asked to perform that same exercise and interpret it for “Diagnostica.” Finally, we’ll be integrating our sectoral assessments into a comprehensive analysis known as a ‘risk assessment matrix’ or RAM. This will give us a sense of where the major risks and weaknesses lie in Diagnostica’s macroeconomic picture. Macroeconomic Diagnostics is offered by the IMF with financial support from the Government of Japan."

| "All around us, engineers are creating materials whose properties are exactly tailored to their purpose. This course is the first of three in a series of mechanics courses from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. Taken together, these courses provide similar content to the MIT subject 3.032: Mechanical Behavior of Materials. The 3.032x series provides an introduction to the mechanical behavior of materials, from both the continuum and atomistic points of view. At the continuum level, we learn how forces and displacements translate into stress and strain distributions within the material. At the atomistic level, we learn the mechanisms that control the mechanical properties of materials. Examples are drawn from metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, biomaterials, composites and cellular materials. Part 1 covers stress-strain behavior, topics in linear elasticity and the atomic basis for linear elasticity, and composite materials. Part 2 covers stress transformations, beam bending, column buckling, and cellular materials. Part 3 covers viscoelasticity (behavior intermediate to that of an elastic solid and that of a viscous fluid), plasticity (permanent deformation), creep in crystalline materials (time dependent behavior), brittle fracture (rapid crack propagation) and fatigue (failure due to repeated loading of a material)."
