Integration Challenges for Analytics, Business Intelligence, and Data Mining
As technology continues to advance, it is critical for businesses to implement systems that can support the transformation of data into information that is crucial for the success of the company. Without the integration of data (both structured and unstructured) mining in business intelligence systems, invaluable knowledge is lost. However, there are currently many different models and approaches that must be explored to determine the best method of integration. Integration Challenges for Analytics, Business Intelligence, and Data Mining is a relevant academic book that provides empirical research findings on increasing the understanding of using data mining in the context of business intelligence and analytics systems. Covering topics that include big data, artificial intelligence, and decision making, this book is an ideal reference source for professionals working in the areas of data mining, business intelligence, and analytics; data scientists; IT specialists; managers; researchers; academicians; practitioners; and graduate students.
Inventing a European Nation
This book deals with the simultaneous making of Portuguese engineers and the Portuguese nation-state from the mid seventeenth century to the late twentieth century. It argues that the different meanings of being an engineer were directly dependent of projects of nation building and that one cannot understand the history of engineering in Portugal without detailing such projects. Symmetrically, the authors suggest that the very same ability of collectively imagining a nation relied on large measure on engineers and their practices. National culture was not only enacted through poetry, music, and history, but it demanded as well fortresses, railroads, steam engines, and dams. Portuguese engineers imagined their country in dialogue with Italian, British, French, German or American realities, many times overlapping such references. The book exemplifies how history of engineering makes more salient the transnational dimensions of national history. This is valid beyond the Portuguese case and draws attention to the potential of history of engineering for reshaping national histories and their local specificities into global narratives relevant for readers across different geographies.
The Party of Order
This study focuses on the Brazilian Empire's Conservative Party and its success and failure in constructing a representative, constitutional monarchy to defend a slaveholding plantation society.
Proceedings of the 23rd European Conference on Research Methodology for Business and Management Studies

ECRM is interested in contributions on the subject of research...
Mental Illness and Neuropsychiatry of the Homeless: Psychosis, Personality, Drug Abuse, and Other Brain Disorders
Homeless people with mental disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases are ubiquitous, in space and time, in mankind’s history. Psychosis, personality disorders, drug abuse, and other brain illnesses represent a true challenge to medicine and society. Homeless people could be, indeed, brought to the attention of marontology, an unborn specialty of medicine, already suggested after the Greek word marontos, which means unwanted. Homelessness is one of the most critically important issues of the contemporaneous world, without a solution in sight, so more research in areas such as psychiatry, psychology, and human neuroscience is needed, for a better understanding of the phenomenon.
Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Angiogenesis in the Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a highly prevalent condition in developed countries and is a cluster of several risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease that includes increased body mass index/waist circumference, visceral obesity, insulin resistance, hyperclycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension, which are all major causes of morbidity and death. This volume provides a critical review and discussion of the knowledge gathered on MS and analyzes the interplay between oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and angiogenesis features. There is a special focus on recent discoveries and progress toward possible therapeutic strategies, such as the role of glucose transporters within ...
Caetana Says No
This 2002 book presents the true and dramatic accounts of two nineteenth-century Brazilian women - one young and born a slave, the other old and from an illustrious planter family - and how each sought to retain control of their lives: the slave woman struggling to avoid an unwanted husband; the woman of privilege assuming a patriarch's role to endow a family of her former slaves with the means for a free life. But these women's stories cannot be told without also recalling how their decisions drew them ever more firmly into the orbits of the worldly and influential men who exercised power in their lives. These are stories with a twist: in this society of radically skewed power, Lauderdale Graham reveals that more choices existed for all sides than we first imagine. Through these small histories she casts new light on larger meanings of slave and free, female and male.
Interface Influence on Moisture Transport in Building Components
The knowledge of moisture migration inside building materials and construction building components is decisive for the way they behave when in use. The durability, waterproofing, degrading aspect and thermal behaviour of these materials are strongly influenced by the existence of moisture within their interior, which provoke changes in their normal performance, something that is normally hard to predict. Due to the awareness of this problem, the scientific community have per-formed various studies about the existence of moisture inside porous materials. The complex aspects of moisture migration phenomenon tended to encompass monolithic building elements, since the existence of joints or laye...
Blackbird
You were only waiting for this moment to be free. A canção que integra o icônico White Album, de 1968, dá título também ao livro que reúne contos visuais e narrativos. Inspirados nas canções dos Beatles que integram o repertório de Beatles em Concerto, 13 autores e 13 fotógrafos compuseram contos e fotos inéditas que são apresentadas ao público em Blackbird. Formado por Ayres Potthoff na flauta, Daniel Wolff no violão e Rodrigo Alquati no cello, Beatles em Concerto está comemorando 30 anos de apresentações, tendo passado por palcos do Brasil, Uruguai, Peru, Estados Unidos, Portugal e Noruega. Além de reunir o talento de escritores, escritoras e de fotógrafos e fotógrafas do Fotoclube Porto-alegrense, Blackbird é um dos braços do projeto educativo Musicando para o Futuro — iniciativa que une música, literatura, criatividade e educação para capacitar, gratuitamente, educadores da rede pública de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul.
