No contexto em que sentimentos de angústia, impotência e lamento invadem milhares de corações humanos, eminentes juristas e pesquisadores se uniram para a construção da presente obra coletiva intitulada "Coronavírus: direitos dos cidadãos e acesso à justiça", que contempla a análise de aspectos dogmáticos e pragmáticos de notórias e relevantes implicações da pandemia covid-19 na seara jurídica, sobretudo com ênfase nos direitos dos cidadãos.

O presente estudo buscou analisar os contornos jurídicos do atual conceito de família. Para tanto, foi feita análise qualitativa de decisões judiciais selecionadas do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e do Supremo Tribunal Federal acerca da família homoafetiva. A escolha da temática de fundo para estudo do conceito jurídico de família se deu em função de se tratar de nova modalidade dessa instituição em termos jurídicos, o que implicou a superação de requisito histórico para a configuração de uma família – a dualidade de gêneros. Antes da efetiva análise jurisprudencial, foram apresentados capítulos com fundamentos teóricos de doutrina jurídica e de outras áreas, como ...
Em decorrência de todas as transformações (sociais, políticas, históricas, humanas, econômicas etc.) ocorridas no século passado, se fazia e se faz necessário que o direito possa estar devidamente aparelhado e voltado para tais modificações, sob pena de que se situe num plano reacionário, ilegítimo e de total desvalia. Assim, não é possível continuar a tratar o direito do meio ambiente nos dias de hoje da mesma forma que no século passado. Esse livro resulta de um amadurecimento lento e gradativo do estudo do direito material do meio ambiente e seus reflexos no direito processual. Na verdade, muitas ideias aqui lançadas poderiam ser aproveitadas para outros direitos da colet...
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text is a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This includes a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an
