Human-Centered Solutions and Synergies across Robotic and Digital Systems for Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation – the progressive restoration of lost human functions – must be effective, personalized, clinically compliant and engaging: while obtaining maximum results with minimal allocation of resources, it must be tailored to each patient’s needs, it must comply with the medical protocol, and it must engage the patient to perform the expected exercises/activities. In order to achieve such objectives, interaction technologies offer a wider range of solutions every year: more versatile, more impactful. In this context, robots and digital systems constitute groundbreaking opportunities for innovation in rehabilitation, especially through their adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. For instance, they can work as theranostic machines by means of their capability of collecting and analysing valuable data: through this, they can evaluate the rehabilitation outcome, improve diagnostic processes, and offer new insights on clinical conditions and methodologies while they guide the person in training and re-training procedures.

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
Management in Brasilien
Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die Frage, ob sich im Zuge der Globalisierung neoliberale und Managementprinzipien in den Industrieunternehmen Brasiliens etablieren. Unter Rückgriff auf quantitative und qualitative Methoden wird empirisch untersucht, inwiefern Veränderungen im Karriereverlauf der Topmanager zu einem Wandel ihrer Wert- und Handlungsorientierungen beitragen. Es wird aufgezeigt, welche Selektionsmechanismen die Herausbildung der brasilianischen Wirtschaftselite begünstigen und auf welche Deutungsmuster diese bei der Bewältigung von Führungssituationen zurückgreift. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Sozialisation der Manager in der Organisation und das spezifische institutionelle Arrangement Brasiliens maßgeblich die managerielle Handlung der Wirtschaftselite prägen.
Estudos da infância no Brasil
O livro Estudos da infância no Brasil: encontros e memórias pretende configurar o largo campo teórico dos estudos da infância brasileira. O livro esta dividido em quatro territórios. No primeiro realizamos uma análise do texto de Florestan Fernandes e Virgínia Leone Bicudo, a partir da década de 1940. O segundo território resulta em uma análise da leitura exaustiva dos textos que reunimos das pesquisadoras Maria Machado Malta Campos, Fúlvia Rosemberg, Sonia Kramer, Ana Lucia Goulart de Faria, Tizuko Morchida Kishimoto e Ethel Volfzon Kosminsky, além de um traçado dos principais temas que marcaram suas publicações no período de 1970 até os dias atuais. O terceiro território ...
Voices from the Favelas
The mainstream media in Brazil portrays favelas (unregulated low-income neighbourhoods) in a negative light. This has been the case since their emergence over a century ago. Voices from the Favelas navigates through the contemporary representation of the favelas in the established media, discussing how this partial representation impacts issues of identity and social segregation, the legitimation of structural violence in those sites, and providing an account of the recent emergence of digital social networks as “counterpublics”. In order to understand the struggle against the characterisation of the favela as a site dominated by violence (a framework which has been disseminated on a global scale and accepted as the norm), this book will take its readers inside the mindset of the favela media activists, examining the production of information and the organisation of the residents as they resist and challenge the status quo. Are the activists able to counteract the official narrative in the struggles against misrepresentation and social invisibility, or is the mainstream version of the favela still strong enough to help in the legitimation of the institutionalised violence?
