Research and innovation
The University of Minho (UMinho) defined some years ago a comprehensive and integrative research policy in order to actively contribute to pushing the frontiers of human knowledge, to the reinforcement of the national scientific system, and to the consolidation of its institutional position both in national and international arenas. Thus, the commitment to become a research university is stated in the different strategic documents approved by the University along the last decade. UMinho defined a clear strategy in order to be an open and permanent space for the creation of knowledge and the furtherance of nationally and internationally relevant innovation across the different areas of knowle...
Researching and Transforming Adult Learning and Communities
Can adult education and learning be understood without reference to community and people’s daily lives? The response to be found in the chapters of this volume say emphatically no, they cannot. Adult learning can be best understood if we look at the social life of people in communities, and this book is an attempt to recover this view. The chapters of this volume reflect ongoing research in the field of adult education and learning in and with communities. At the same time the work of the authors presented here offers a very vital reflection of the work of the ESREA research network Between Local and Global – Adult Learning and Communities. The chapters showcase the broad range of profes...
Remembering the Liberation Struggles in Cape Verde
Remembering the Liberation Struggles in Cape Verde: A Mnemohistory takes as its reference from the anti-colonial struggles against the Portuguese colonial empire in Africa in the 1960s and 1970s and the ways this period has been publicly remembered. Drawing on original and detailed empirical research, it presents novel insights into the complex entanglements between colonial pasts and political memories of anti-colonialism in shaping new nations arising out of liberation struggles. Broadening postcolonial memory studies by emphasising underdeveloped research cases, it provides the first comprehensive research into how the liberation struggle is memorialised in Cape Verde and why it changes o...

Strategies in the drug discovery and development for leishmaniasis: immunomodulators, natural products, synthetic compounds, and drug repositioning
Leishmaniases are a group of tropical diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. They are considered neglected diseases prevalent in emerging countries in Latin America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia and still occurring in Mediterranean countries. There is no human vaccine available to prevent and control the disease infection. For the last 70 years, the available chemotherapy has been constituted by first-line (pentavalent antimonials) and second-line drugs (amphotericin B, pentamidine, paramomycin, and miltefosine). Its route of administration is difficult, the treatment is long, and its efficiency varies depending on the parasite species and clinical manifestations, which results in the emergence of resistant cases. Moreover, they present high toxicity to patients, and even some less toxic formulations available, are still expensive for the poorest countries’ vulnerable populations. This often leads to abandonment and failure of treatment. The medical-scientific community is facing difficulties to overcome these issues with new suitable therapies, and the identification of new drug targets. So, it means that efforts to identify new strategies must continue.

Almas
O culto às almas benditas (almas milagrosas, mártires milagrosos, etc) é muito presente em todo o Brasil. Acredita-se que pessoas mortas, em especial aquelas que vieram a óbito de forma muito sofrida (diz-se que o sofrimento expia os pecados da carne) ou as que foram boas e castas, possam interceder junto a Deus e aos Santos (em uma visão cristã) ou junto aos deuses (na visão de religiões politeístas) em favor dos vivos. Há quem diga que os milagres são concedidos diretamente pelos mártires. No Piauí são muitos os que procuram obter graças milagrosas junto às almas, cultivando verdadeiros ritos de fé a alguns finados que foram canonizados não pela igreja, mas pela gente des...
Pesquisa Qualitativa e Análise de Conteúdo
Isabel Carvalho Guerra discute neste livro as abordagens qualitativas em ciências sociais, considerando que «procuram o sentido da acção colectiva, isto é, conhecer os sentidos e as racionalidades que fazem cada um agir e, por via disso, produzir a sociedade onde todos vivemos. É o aprofundamento dessa racionalidade cultural que permitirá conhecer as formas de produção da sociedade e os contornos da mudança social», abrindo ao cientista social um enorme campo de intervenção e interacção com os diversos actores sociais.
Sustainable Development of Territories in Contexts of Uncertainty
The pursuit of development has increasingly prioritized sustainability. Sustainable approaches to development and adopting people’s well-being as a main goal have substantial implications for the competitiveness of territories. When viewed through a nature lens, sustainability maintains a close connection with circular economy. If sustainability is the paradigm to which the world needs to commit, businesses, policy makers and people have to deal with the difficulties and uncertainties arising from those requirements and other severe phenomena, like international armed conflicts and pandemic crises. By using case studies, this book addresses territorial bottlenecks and grapples with social and developmental challenges. The book intends to function as a practical guide for policymakers and practitioners, providing them with the knowledge necessary to adopt and implement sustainable development strategies. It advocates the implementation of socially inclusive policies and the adoption of innovative governance models able to safeguard democratic principles while enhancing the efficacy of decision-making processes.
