Quando pensamos em robôs, ou em Inteligência Artificial, a primeira coisa que nos vem à mente são lindos robôs humanoides, como desenhados nos filmes de ficção científica desde a nossa infância, como uma imagem de um futuro distante. Na tentativa de imitar-se a inteligência e o pensamento humano e com a evolução rápida da tecnologia, passam a ser criadas máquinas com "mentes", como uma verdadeira arte de fazer-se os computadores pensar e com a automação, as máquinas passam a realizar tarefas antes apenas realizadas pelos seres humanos, principalmente aquelas repetitivas, mas enquanto alguns criam máquinas e robôs inteligentes, outros se vêm e sentem ameaçados por estas m...
É legítimo aos pais, após submeterem um embrião fertilizado in vitro, selecionar qual será implantado no útero materno? E alterar o DNA desses embriões, de acordo com as suas preferências pessoais? Se a alteração for no sentido de se escolher o sexo, estatura, ou mesmo a cor dos olhos, não parece legítimo. Mas, e se a alteração for realizada para evitar doenças que esses futuros filhos possam vir a desenvolver? Aí sim, parece ser legítimo. As questões, no entanto, não são tão simples de se responder. Isso porque, muitas vezes, é difícil distinguir essa atuação negativa de uma atuação positiva, com o intuito de um melhoramento da espécie humana. Falar em melhoramen...
As relações familiares e sucessórias são permeadas por constantes transformações que acompanham as mudanças da sociedade e, assim, geram reflexos no Direito das Famílias e das Sucessões. Os artigos reunidos nesta obra pretendem estimular a reflexão sobre os novos rumos do Direito das Famílias e das Sucessões, na medida em que propõem uma visão crítica sobre as mudanças nas relações familiares e sucessórias e seus impactos jurídicos, com a imperiosa identificação de um Direito Civil mais sensível aos problemas e às exigências da sociedade. É obra essencial para a reflexão de um novo Direito das Famílias e das Sucessões.
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
This collection gives broad and up-to-date results in the research and development of materials characterization and processing. Topics covered include characterization methods, ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, minerals, ceramics, polymer and composites, powders, extraction, microstructure, mechanical behavior, processing, corrosion, welding, solidification, magnetic, electronic, environmental, nano-materials, and advanced materials The book explores scientific processes to characterize materials using modern technologies, and focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence among processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials.
This Reference Work is devoted to plant secondary metabolites and their evolutionary adaptation to different hosts and pests. Secondary metabolites play an important biological role in plants’ defence against herbivores, abiotic stresses and pathogens, and they also attract beneficial organisms such as pollinators. In this work, readers will find a comprehensive review of the phytochemical diversity, modification and adaptation of secondary metabolites, and the consequences of their co-evolution with plant parasites, pollinators, and herbivores. Chapters from expert contributors are organised into twelve sections that collate the current knowledge in intra-/inter-specific diversity in plan...

This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
