The Atlantic Forest

The Atlantic Forest

The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.

Mulheres em tempos de pandemia

A Rede Mulheres Vivas (RMV) tem por missão prevenir e intervir na violência sobre as mulheres, como posicionamento político e ideológico. Tendo em vista a natureza da Rede Mulheres Vivas e sua ideologia, pesquisadoras de vários países e instituições discutiram as bases e funcionamento da Rede consubstanciado em texto intitulado “Manifesto da Rede” (em anexo). Nesta perspectiva tem promovido os Seminários da Rede Mulheres vivas, com o objetivo de contribuir para a redução da violência contra as mulheres e dar visibilidade a este grave problema vivenciado ainda nos nossos dias por muitas mulheres. Em 2021, o II Seminário da Rede Mulheres Vivas abriu a possibilidade de outros pesquisadores e pesquisadoras apresentarem trabalhos derivados de pesquisas em andamento ou finalizadas e, nesse sentido, os convidou a participarem do presente livro com suas pesquisas em formato de capítulos. O tema do II Seminário foi “Mulheres em tempos de pandemia” com o objetivo de refletir sobre os problemas vivenciados pelas mulheres considerando a diversidade de gênero, raça/etnia e classe neste grave momento de pandemia, considerado um problema global de saúde pública.

Para entender o populismo, fenômeno tão arraigado na América Latina, Gloria Álvarez e Axel Kaiser analisam a anatomia da mentalidade populista, o desprezo desta pela liberdade individual e a correspondente idolatria ao Estado, que emparenta esta forma política aos regimes totalitários do passado, além do ódio ao neoliberalismo e da obsessão igualitária, entre outros aspectos.

Fungal Biotechnology for Biofuel Production

Mycology: Current and Future Developments is a book series that brings together the latest contributions to research on the biology, genetics, and industrial use of fungi. Each book chapter is written by academic / professional experts from around the world. The book series is of interest to mycologists and allied researchers seeking to gain new knowledge perspectives about fungi. This volume of the book series focuses chiefly on advances biofuel production. Topics covered in this volume include an overview of biofuel production, the use of lignocelluloses in fungal biofuel production, fungal metabolic engineering, biomass pretreatment for biofuel refineries, and more. The volume also contains chapters about research on other fungi such as S. Cerevisiae. The reviews presented in this volume serve as a useful reference for researchers and readers interested in learning about new developments in biofuel production at a time when the need for alternative energy sources is ever increasing.

A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...

Celebrating Twenty Years of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology

This e-book is dedicated to the celebration of 20 years of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology. In 1996 groups from the School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo (FMRP-USP) and from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) joined together to discuss cardiovascular physiology. In subsequent editions of the meeting, the participation of other groups from all over the country has grown and acquired the status of a national symposium. The participants now agree that the symposium should be itinerant and that the chair group is responsible for its organization. In 2016, we proudly reached the 20th edition of the Brazilian Symposium on Cardiovascular Physiology. It is certainly a memorable date and a great opportunity to share the accomplishments of Brazilian groups in the field of cardiovascular physiology.
