Devido à Pandemia de 2020 (COVID-19), enfrenta-se uma crise econômica, social, cultural em escala mundial e, ao adaptar-se, o processo de comercialização, a educação e os contatos interpessoais tornaram-se praticamente virtuais. Esta obra propõe um olhar sobre a capacidade do ser humano de adaptar-se e de aperfeiçoar-se de acordo com as adversidades da vida, que Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Pai da Pedagogia) apresenta-nos em seu projeto pedagógico. Como o núcleo de seu pensamento repousa na capacidade de sociabilidade do ser humano, mostra-nos o caráter ambíguo de perfectibilidade: a corrupção que diz respeito aos vícios e à incapacidade do ser humano de aperfeiçoar-se e, como ant...
How modern data-driven government originated in the creation and use of administrative archives in the British Empire Over the span of two hundred years, Great Britain established, governed, lost, and reconstructed an empire that embraced three continents and two oceanic worlds. The British ruled this empire by correlating incoming information about the conduct of subjects and aliens in imperial spaces with norms of good governance developed in London. Officials derived these norms by studying the histories of government contained in the official records of both the state and corporations and located in repositories known as archives. As the empire expanded in both the Americas and India, ho...
Although toxic in large doses, selenium is an essential trace mineral in the animal diet and in some plants. It has a role in making antioxidant enzymes and a particular role in the functioning of the thyroid gland. This volume examines the chemical activity of selenium and its functional health effects eg towards cancers, in the heart and brain. It also covers other areas such as functional food enrichment, whole body metabolism, and the effects of selenium deficiency on health. Part of The Food and Nutritional Components in Focus series, this edited volume pools knowledge across scientific disciplines in a way that increases its applicability to a wide range of audiences. Victor Preedy’s own distinguished career in nutritional science has made him a prolific author of research articles and books in this area, and this project fills a gap in providing comprehensive synopses of food substances. Chemists, analytical scientists, forensic scientists, food scientists, as well as course lecturers will all benefit from this interdisciplinary title written by international experts in this area.
Legumes are important for the diet of a significant part of the world's population; they are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The "importance of soybean" lies in the overall agriculture and trade and in its contribution to food supply. Soybean contains the highest protein content and has no cholesterol in comparison with conventional legume and animal food sources. Furthermore, soybean is a cheap source of food, and at the same time medicinal due to its genistein, photochemical, isoflavones content. Soybean has been found to be extremely helpful in the fight against heart disease, cancer and diabetes, among others. Soybean protein and calories are presently being used to prevent body wasting often associated with HIV. The importance of soybean nutrition intervention is amplified where medications are unavailable. Its economic potential inherent in a wide range of industrial uses can be harnessed to the benefit of smallholder soybean producers.
This book presents a state-of-the-art compilation of articles on the role of non-coding RNAs as pivotal molecules for establishing functional relationships between different organisms. It also describes how non-coding RNA molecules can act as dynamic communication devices and how they modulate the interaction between different kingdoms. It describes examples including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and higher organisms such as protozoa that are involved in pathogenic or symbiotic interactions, and the roles of different families of non-coding RNAs within these relationships. Each chapter provides readers molecular and functional insights, breaking down the subjacent mechanisms and exploring their functional implications and future applications. More than sixty years after the foundation of the “RNA tie club” by George Gamow, new roles for non-coding RNA molecules are starting to be revealed.
O I Encontro Internacional de Pesquisa em Ciências Humanas teve como objetivo principal proporcionar um espaço de debate e intercâmbio de conhecimento gerado por pesquisas voltadas a interdisciplinaridade nas áreas de Ciências Humanas e Sociais. O evento parte do princípio da ausência de discussões e espaço de contato que permitam a troca produtiva de conhecimento entre profissionais da ciências humanas. Entendemos como propósito do evento agregar, incluir toda e qualquer forma de contribuição científica e acadêmica no âmbito das ciências humanas, mais precisamente no campo interdisciplinar, pretendendo ampliar a análise de cada elemento individual e buscar o parecer especifico de sua especialidade.

Brain Tumors: Current and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies focuses on tumor models, the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of this disease, and on the new diagnostic and treatment strategies utilized to stage and treat this malignancy. A special section on immunotherapy and gene therapy provides the most up-to-date information on the pre-clinical and clinical advances of this therapeutic venue. Each chapter in Brain Tumors: Current and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies is authored by international experts with extensive experience in the areas covered.
Debora Cristina Jeffrey apresentou e debateu o texto deste livro em seu concurso para obter o título de Professora Titular da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp), grau máximo da carreira docente. Ninguém mais adequada do que ela para tal realização. Como nos conta em seus agradecimentos, Debora "nasceu" na Unicamp, onde sua mãe trabalhava e lhe ensinou "a amar este chão". Mais ainda, ao se tornar docente da Faculdade de Educação, vivenciou todo o processo de ações afirmativas percorrido pela universidade, protagonizando algumas realizações importantes para a implantação do sistema de cotas.
