A presente obra traz textos sobre algumas das temáticas e assuntos postos em debate em sala de aula no contexto dos cursos e formações articulados a partir da ação da Cooperação Social da Fiocruz junto à territórios urbanos vulnerabilizados, com vistas à Promoção de Territórios Saudáveis e Sustentáveis em Centros Urbanos. Tal processo formativo, pautado na horizontalidade epistemológica, na dialética, no diálogo e na solidariedade, compõem elementos fundantes do modo de agir em cooperação social.
Descripción / Resumen (Español / Castellano): El Centro de Estudios Brasileños de la Universidad de Salamanca organiza desde el año 2017 el concurso de relato breve «Cuéntame un cuento». Con el objetivo de incentivar la divulgación científica sobre Brasil, su quinta edición contó con la colaboración del Museu da Vida de la Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Río de Janeiro, Brasil). Personalidades del mundo de la ciencia; epidemias y crisis sanitarias; hechos históricos relacionados con la ciencia y los descubrimientos científicos; el método científico y su aplicación… Todo ello forma parte de la presente obra.

This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply graphical models to machine learning. No previous knowledge of pattern recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. Familiarity with multivariate calculus and basic linear algebra is required, and some experience in the use of probabilities would be helpful though not essential as the book includes a self-contained introduction to basic probability theory.
The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel presents the development of the modern Spanish novel from 1600 to the present. Drawing on the combined legacies of Don Quijote and the traditions of the picaresque novel, these essays focus on the question of invention and experiment, on what constitutes the singular features of evolving fictional forms. It examines how the novel articulates the relationships between history and fiction, high and popular culture, art and ideology, and gender and society. Contributors highlight the role played by historical events and cultural contexts in the elaboration of the Spanish novel, which often takes a self-conscious stance toward literary tradition. Topics covered include the regional novel, women writers, and film and literature. This companionable survey, which includes a chronology and guide to further reading, conveys a vivid sense of the innovative techniques of the Spanish novel and of the debates surrounding it.

Solutions for learning from large scale datasets, including kernel learning algorithms that scale linearly with the volume of the data and experiments carried out on realistically large datasets. Pervasive and networked computers have dramatically reduced the cost of collecting and distributing large datasets. In this context, machine learning algorithms that scale poorly could simply become irrelevant. We need learning algorithms that scale linearly with the volume of the data while maintaining enough statistical efficiency to outperform algorithms that simply process a random subset of the data. This volume offers researchers and engineers practical solutions for learning from large scale ...
Starting in the early 1970s, a type of programmed cell death called apoptosis began to receive attention. Over the next three decades, research in this area continued at an accelerated rate. In the early 1990s, a second type of programmed cell death, autophagy, came into focus. Autophagy has been studied in mammalian cells for many years. The recen
This study analyzes how the workings of the policymaking process affect the quality of policy outcomes. It looks beyond a purely technocratic approach, arguing that the political and policymaking processes are inseparable. It offers a wide variety of examples and case studies, and yields useful insights for the design of effective policy reform.
