A ground breaking study of primates that live in flooded habitats around the world.
"Por meio da identificação dos sujeitos vulneráveis e dos mecanismos de tutela, por força do comando da isonomia substancial acalentado no desenho solidarista constitucional que marca o atual estágio democrático do Estado brasileiro, vivencia-se um período sem precedentes de humanização do Direito e da concreta percepção de suas novas funções. Um ordenamento jurídico que não tem por fim o reforço e manutenção do sistema de dominação social, racial e de gênero e preservação do status quo do poder estabelecido, mas atento à realidade de desigualdades e voltado ao efetivo enfrentamento das relações assimétricas que permitem a subordinação e a subjugação dos grupos...
É com muita satisfação que trazemos a público a presente coletânea "Inseguranças Globais, Direitos Humanos e Sustentabilidade", esforço coletivo que reflete a multidimensionalidade dos estudos em direitos humanos em tempos de globalização, pandemia da Covid 19, crise climática, inseguranças e vulnerabilidades diversas em escala local e global. Ao longo de três linhas principais de análise – aspectos jurídico-normativos, violações de direitos humanos e questões de sustentabilidade e responsabilidade social – os capítulos discutem os direitos humanos em termos tanto de prescrições quanto de violações, avanços e retrocessos e enfocam desde ações terroristas e crimin...
This book covers a variety of topics in the field of mechanical engineering, with a special focus on methods and technologies for modeling, simulation, and design of mechanical systems. Based on a set of papers presented at the 1st International Conference “Innovation in Engineering”, ICIE, held in Guimarães, Portugal, on June 28–30, 2021, it focuses on innovation in mechanical engineering, spanning from engineering design and testing of medical devices, evaluation of new materials and composites for different industrial applications, fatigue and stress analysis of mechanical structures, and application of new tools such as 3D printing, CAE 3D models, and decision support systems. This book, which belongs to a three-volume set, provides engineering researchers and professionals with extensive and timely information on new technologies and developments in the field of mechanical engineering and materials.
This book is devoted to the special characteristics of an important element of lanthanides chemistry: Europium. It presents the technological aspects of Europium in many fields of industry as well as in fundamental analysis by using a new, safe and low cost methodology. This book discusses the many applications for the Europium element either in its metallic or ionic state. These applications are in the fields of (1) optical sensors for pesticides, biological molecules such as proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, hormones, and drugs, (2) manufacturing of portable computers, communication equipments and consumer electronic products, (3) manufacturing of optoelectronics devices such as visible l...
The main theme of this year's congress is 'Animal lives worth living'. This theme focuses on our responsibility for all animals kept or influenced by humans, to ensure that we can provide a life for them that takes into account all relevant aspects of animal welfare, aided by applied ethology as the key scientific discipline. This not only means avoiding and alleviating suffering but also promoting resilience and positive experiences. By monitoring and interpreting animal behaviour, we gain important insights into each of these aspects of quality of life.
A Simon & Schuster eBook. Simon & Schuster has a great book for every reader.
The first detailed collation of the evolution, ecology and conservation of some of South America's least-known, and most endangered, primates.
This book traces the history and development of the port of Benguela, the third largest port of slave embarkation on the coast of Africa, from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Benguela, located on the central coast of present-day Angola, was founded by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth century. In discussing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of new elites, the collapse of old states and the emergence of new states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and political changes on the African coast. This book emphasizes the importance of the South Atlantic as a space for the circulation of people, ideas and crops.
