Pensar em migrações hoje é pensar para além da simples visão de deslocamento desatrelado de contextos excludentes, nos quais a pobreza, a fome e a falta de oportunidades em geral constituem-se fatores de mobilização humana pelo globo. Não é uma escolha pessoal. É uma condição determinada pelo próprio sistema social. Neste ponto, precisamente, há uma linha tênue entre o ser e o não ser. Quem são, portanto, o migrante e o refugiado? O que é cidadania no contexto das migrações e do refúgio? Como pensar a cidadania quando ela não está alinhada ao branco (hétero, inclusive!), ao nacional, ao oficialmente dentro da lei e ao estabelecido? Os migrantes e refugiados estão na ...
Written by internationally recognized leaders in Heparanase biology, the book’s eight chapters offer an opportunity for scientists, clinicians and advanced students in cell biology, tumor biology and oncology to obtain a comprehensive understanding of Heparanase’s multifaceted activities in cancer, inflammation, diabetes and other diseases, as well as its related clinical applications. Proteases and their involvement in cancer progression have been well addressed and documented; however, the emerging premise presented within this book is that Heparanase is a master regulator of aggressive cancer phenotypes and crosstalk with the tumor microenvironment. This endoglycosidase contributes to...
A jurisdição constitucional e a supranacional possibilitam o controle de constitucionalidade e convencionalidade, respectivamente. A supremacia de um controle sobre o outro, no ordenamento interno, privilegia a jurisdição constitucional. Há limites impostos ao controle de convencionalidade no âmbito interno para sua efetivação.
Men, Masculinities and Intimate Partner Violence examines how gender and other social identities and inequalities shape experiences of, and responses to, violence in intimate relationships. It provides new insights into men as both perpetrators and victims of violence, as well as on how to involve men and boys in anti-violence work. The chapters explore partner violence from the perspectives of researchers, therapists, activists, organisations, media as well as men of different background and sexual orientation. Highlighting the distinct and ambivalent ways we relate to violence and masculinity, this timely volume provides nuanced approaches to men, masculinity and intimate partner violence ...
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...
