Historical Narratives of Global Modern Art
Diversifying the current art historical scholarship, this edited volume presents the untold story of modern art by exposing global voices and perspectives excluded from the privileged and uncontested narrative of “isms.” This volume tells a worldwide story of art with expanded historical narratives of modernism. The chapters reflect on a wide range of issues, topics, and themes that have been marginalized or outright excluded from the canon of modern art. The goal of this book is to be a starting point for understanding modern art as a broad and inclusive field of study. The topics examine diverse formal expressions, innovative conceptual approaches, and various media used by artists around the world and forcefully acknowledge the connections between art, historical circumstances, political environments, and social issues such as gender, race, and social justice. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, imperial and colonial history, modernism, and globalization.
Patrimónios Fabris e Requalificação Urbana
No âmbito das comemorações dos 150 anos do nascimento de Alfredo da Silva, o Departamento de História Artes e Humanidades da Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa, em parceria com a Fundação Amélia de Mello, organizou um colóquio internacional dedicado ao tema «Patrimónios Fabris e Requalificação Urbana». O principal objetivo desse encontro foi indagar as relações entre políticas patrimoniais e de planificação urbana tais como foram pensadas ou implementadas no Barreiro, durante a fase de pleno funcionamento da CUF e até ao período mais recente de desindustrialização e reconversão económica. Tratou-se de discutir a importância do uso social de um património edificado, ar...
Co-creating in Schools Through Art and Science
This book represents an applied, up-to-date work on RRI developments and their potential positive impact on societies. The societal challenges of the 21st century require the ability to integrate the knowledge and expertise of different societal actors, using more innovative, efficient and open approaches. Educational methodologies are in perpetual development in their attempt to provide tentative answers to three ever-changing digital age challenges: the challenge of speed, the challenge of form/at and the challenge of persistency. The current book aims to address these issues by presenting relevant case studies in the field of art, science and giving value to territory that, by the means of projects and initiatives using RRI consistent methodologies, have succeeded in their attempt to: preserve and valorise cultural heritage by using digital storytelling or crowddreaming methodology, develop educational strategies grounded on RRI and Open Schooling principles, contribute to new ways of thinking in the school environment by using RRI and promote gender equality and stimulate critical reflections on women’s role in science by the means of storytelling and RRI concepts.
Nanotoxicology in Safety Assessment of Nanomaterials
Since its advent, nanotechnologies are considered key enabling technologies that take advantage of a wide array of nanomaterials (NMs) for biomedical and industrial applications generating significant societal and economic benefits. However, such innovation increases human exposure to these substances through inhalation, ingestion or dermal contact raising public health concerns. Furthermore, the NMs’ specific physicochemical properties, that confer them unique beneficial characteristics, can also elicit nano-bio interactions leading to toxicity and concerns for public health. In addition, such properties can be affected by the surrounding matrix, particularly when incorporated in complex ...
Artes e arquitecturas CUF
Para comemorar os 150 anos do nascimento de Alfredo da Silva, faltava desenvolver uma visão de conjunto estruturada e uma análise setorial urbano-arquitetónica, funcio-nal e tipológica, que acrescentasse ao reconhecimento histórico do papel da CUF a sua forte dimensão arquitetural e artística, ou estética. É este o tema do presente livro, que os autores desejam que venha a ser um contributo para um conhecimento mais amplo e organizado de todo o universo CUF de obras edificadas, de construções com significado e valor, de objetos com expressão artística que constituem um diversificado legado arqui-tetónico. Nesta publicação foi dada especial atenção à imagem, com a apresentação de fotografias de vários arquivos históricos, públicos e privados, bem como de desenhos e projetos das muitas obras estudadas. Recorreu-se igualmente a gráficos e esquemas de análise dos processos realizados, bem como ao registo fotográfico atual das inúmeras situações edificadas e dos vestígios materiais ainda existentes
Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
Alfredo da Silva e a CUF
Filho de uma família da burguesia lisboeta, aluno de mérito do Instituto Industrial e Comercial da capital, acionista, gerente e diretor de uma série de empresas, com destaque para os mais de 40 anos em que liderou a CUF, Alfredo da Silva foi o mais importante «capitão» da indústria portuguesa do século XX, invulgarmente dinâmico e empreendedor, com um elevado sentido de responsabilidade e de solidariedade social em relação aos seus muitos trabalhadores, bem como de compromisso com o Portugal do seu tempo, que procurou transformar num país mais desenvolvido e mais competitivo. A sua vida e a sua obra não deixarão certamente de suscitar interesse e de ser fonte de motivação para os portugueses do presente.
Lignin
Lignin - Trends and Applications consists of 11 chapters related to the lignin structure, modification, depolymerization, degradation process, computational modeling, and applications. This is a useful book for readers from diverse areas, such as physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and engineering. It is expected that this book may expand the reader's knowledge about this complex natural polymer.
Managing Screen Time in an Online Society
The number of hours individuals spend in front of screens, such as smartphones, televisions, computers, and tablets, is enormous in today’s society because screen time plays a very important role in work contexts and an even more significant role in social interaction and cultural consumption. This almost compulsive relationship with screens is more evident in children and young people and can have a lasting impact on how a society approaches screen time. Managing Screen Time in an Online Society is a collection of innovative research on how screen time seduces the person to stay in the online interaction leaving her/him in a state of alienation from her/his face-to-face context. While highlighting the methods and applications of time management in the context of screen time, especially during leisure, social interaction, and cultural consumption, this book covers topics including media consumption, psychology, and social networks. This book is ideal for researchers, students, and professionals seeking emerging information on the relationship between online interaction and personal relationships.
