Safe and accessible walking environments are crucial for sustainable urban mobility. However, traditional walkability assessments often overlook how user characteristics, particularly gender, influence perceptions of safety. The STEP UP project, awarded by Fondazione Cariplo (Grant No. 2022-1643), addressed this gap by investigating how women in Milan experience nighttime walkability. Women often navigate cities differently than men due to concerns about safety. Fear of violence or harassment can lead to precautionary behaviors like avoiding certain areas or using alternative modes of transport at night. These safety concerns significantly impact women's mobility and limit their access to essential services and social interactions. The STEP UP project employed a multimodal approach to understand the factors influencing women's perceptions of safety while walking in Milan at night.

Este livro foi concebido como obra coletiva de diversos professores-pesquisadores a partir do I curso de aperfeiçoamento em Educação de Jovens e Adultos para professores desta modalidade, proposto pela Faculdade de Educação da UFRJ. Os textos partiram de inquietações dos cursistas e foram escritos em parceria com os professores que ministraram a formação, indicando o acolhimento de múltiplas escritas. Acreditando que o conhecimento se constrói em um processo de apoio mútuo, troca de experiências e constante reflexão sobre a prática docente, buscamos relembrar a importante pauta da defesa de uma universidade que pense e discuta para além de seus próprios muros.

The book comprises three thematic sections which take the reader through the various stages of the internationalisation of higher education teac...
Genetics more than any other biological approach can explain why some people experience more pain than others and receive less benefit from existing analgesics. Sixteen scholarly articles from international contributors describe the application of genetic techniques to the problem of pain and consider the knowledge that has so far resulted. Three themed sections review the techniques that are allowing the study of pain mechanisms at the genetic level; describe the progress being made in lab animals and humans in identifying the genes responsible for individual differences; and explore the practical and ethical issues that face pain researchers. The editor is associated with the Centre for Research on Pain, McGill U., Montreal. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
