Evolution Education and the Rise of the Creationist Movement in Brazil examines how larger societal forces such as religion, media, and politics have shaped Brazil’s educational landscape and impacted the teaching and learning of evolution within an increasingly polarized discourse in recent years. To this end, Alandeom W. Oliveira and Kristin Cook have assembled a number of educational scholars and practitioners, many of whom are based in Brazil, to provide up-close and in-depth accounts of classroom-based evolution instruction, teacher preparation programs, current educational policies, and commonly used school curricula. Contributors also present information on Brazilian teachers’ and...
As a result of their unique physical properties, biological membrane mimetics such as biopolymers are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications. This comprehensive book covers new applications of biopolymers in the research and development of industrial scale nutraceutical and functional food grade products. All the major food biopolymers are included, from plant, animal and marine sources. Coverage also includes biopolymer-based drug delivery mechanisms intended for biological applications such as bio-detection of pathogens, fluorescent biological labels, and drug and gene delivery. This is the first interdisciplinary book to address this area specifically and is essential reading for those who produce the functional biopolymer materials as well as those who seek to incorporate them into appropriate nutraceutical, food and drug delivery products.
O presente livro visa abordar a temática do Ensino de Química em seus diferentes aspectos e contextos, como o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, uso das TICs, o Ensino de Química no ambiente virtual, propostas inovadoras no Ensino de Química em cursos de graduação em Química, relação professor-aluno, o Ensino contextualizado da Química, o Ensino de Química na pandemia, entre outros.
Plant‐based medicines and aromatics are increasingly in demand in the healthcare sector all over the globe where they are used, not only for the treatment of various diseases, but also for maintaining good human health. Plants as Medicine and Aromatics: Uses of Botanicals reviews modern uses of ancient botanicals as medicine and aromatics, including chapters on both traditional usage and modern drug discovery development, as well as clinical research and development in ancient medicinal herbs. Features: Assesses the status of aromatics and medicinal plants as well as their modern uses. Elucidates the uses of plants within traditional culture practices for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Examines contemporary approaches being used to explore medicinal botany. A volume in the Exploring Medicinal Plants series, Plants as Medicine and Aromatics: Uses of Botanicals presents a comprehensive understanding in terms of modern uses of botanicals of medicinal and aromatic plants. It is useful to researchers, teachers, cultivators, students, and for those interested in herbal medicine.
Relacionar e contrapor diferentes interfaces entre a Educação, Aprendizagem e Tecnologias sempre foram verbos importantes aos processos de ensino aprendizagem, seja na educação formal ou não-formal, escolares ou não, deste e de outros tempos. Na contemporaneidade, essa contingência está na ideia de que não só a escola precisa repensar seus processos pedagógicos e curriculares a partir de outras tecnologias para além dos já consagrados quadro negro e livro didático que impactam os tempos, espaços, práticas e saberes. Mas, também, porque as práticas sociais da contemporaneidade têm nos exigido outras sociabilidades e subjetividades em meio à mediatização cultural que estamos inseridos, seja pela pressão do mercado, do consumo ou novas relações, necessidades e demandas que os homens têm nesse tempo na atualidade desde as mais simples atividades sociais.
Esta obra descreve situações práticas e estudos sobre a sala de aula que permitem elaborar sentidos e significados sobre o ensino de Ciências, relacionando os pressupostos, os conteúdos, as concepções, os pensamentos e as representações sobre ele. Esse cenário produz, principalmente, um conjunto de hipóteses e de conceitos que possibilita interpretar, qualificar e compartilhar as teorias e novas estratégias úteis para a sala de aula. Oportuniza também o apoio à divulgação científica, cujas discussões convidam para a investigação de novos objetos de pesquisa, os quais aprofundam a temática sobre os currículos por meio de debates que consideram abordagens de ensino plane...
The field of project management experiences conceptual, technological, and decision issues when projects are created, implemented, and executed without the needed strategic connection. It is important to improve the connection between knowledge management and project management practices. The Handbook of Research on Effective Project Management through the Integration of Knowledge and Innovation bridges the gap between knowledge management and project management practices by providing both classical and modern views on their relationship. Discussing principles, practices, methods, and real case studies, this book describes the importance of aligning projects with a knowledge-based strategic plan to the benefit of practitioners, professionals, scholars, and researchers in the fields of management and information science.
This volume presents the proceedings of the Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering (CBEB 2018). The conference was organised by the Brazilian Society on Biomedical Engineering (SBEB) and held in Armação de Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 21-25 October, 2018. Topics of the proceedings include these 11 tracks: • Bioengineering • Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Artificial Organs • Biomechanics and Rehabilitation • Biomedical Devices and Instrumentation • Biomedical Robotics, Assistive Technologies and Health Informatics • Clinical Engineering and Health Technology Assessment • Metrology, Standardization, Testing and Quality in Health • Biomedical Signal and Image Processing • Neural Engineering • Special Topics • Systems and Technologies for Therapy and Diagnosis
This volume showcases recent high-quality work relating to the pathophysiology, biophysics, monitoring, and treatment of traumatic brain injury and hydrocephalus that was presented at the 15th International Symposium on Intracranial Pressure and Brain Monitoring (ICP), held in Singapore in November 2013. The included papers derive from experts in neurointensive care, physiology, physics, engineering, and neurosurgery who have made important contributions in this translational area of research. All were selected from among oral and oral-poster presentations following a rigorous peer-review process involving the ICP Board members, and their focus ranges from the latest research findings and developments to clinical trials and experimental studies. This collection of papers from ICP 2013 continues the proud tradition of publishing key work from the ICP symposia and will be of interest for all who wish to stay abreast of recent advances in the field.
