Psychosocial Well-being of Children and Adolescents in Latin America
This book discusses child well-being, with children and adolescents as key informants, from a Latin American perspective. It explores theoretical and empirical issues related to well-being and associated aspects, in order to understand the well-being of this population. Topics analyzed in this volume address for instance environment and community, rights, leisure time, technologies, interpersonal relationships and spirituality and their implications for changes in the well-being in children and adolescents. Especially relevant for scholars and professionals in the social and health sciences, as well as policy makers, seeking to promote child well-being, regardless of the area in which they operate.
Environmental Management Systems
Implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) has become a crucial consideration for large organizations. This book offers insight to practitioners and professional students as to why they have been developed, how they are implemented and the barriers that can impact on their effectiveness. A practical, experience-based text written by leading consultants and researchers, the book explores the drivers that have led to the development of environmental strategies and the benefits of formulating a complete EMS. The book examines the way in which EMSs are structured to ensure that a company achieves continuous improvement in environmental performance. Alongside practical advice for busin...
Classical And Quantum Dynamics In Condensed Phase Simulations: Proceedings Of The International School Of Physics
The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.
Natural Product Extraction
Natural products are sought after by the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and research continues into their potential for new applications. Extraction of natural products in an economic and environmentally-friendly way is of high importance to all industries involved. This book presents a holistic and in-depth view of the techniques available for extracting natural products, with modern and more environmentally-benign methods, such as ultrasound and supercritical fluids discussed alongside conventional methods. Examples and case studies are presented, along with the decision-making process needed to determine the most appropriate method. Where appropriate, scale-up and process integration is discussed. Relevant to researchers in academia and industry, and students aiming for either career path, Natural Product Extraction presents a handy digest of the current trends and latest developments in the field with concepts of Green Chemistry in mind.
Ao garimpar pedrinhas, prosas e sementes
Ao refletir sobre a minha trajetória como professora dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, pude observar o valor e o sentido que foram agregados a essa trajetória e o quanto esses componentes se conectaram com a escolha das teorias e práticas. Ao mesmo tempo, eles revelaram meus pares: os demais docentes que faziam parte de cada período trabalhado, dos processos de formação e das pesquisas acadêmicas e os estudantes, sendo identificados como também protagonistas do processo de ensinar e aprender. Em cada período vivido eram articulados saberes, conhecimentos e práticas vindos dessas relações, elementos que produziam o diálogo permanente com o percurso da existência humana e com a educação escolarizada. A vida e a educação escolarizada constituíam, assim, o fortalecimento da sala de aula como um território de comunicação, sendo, a partir do ensinar e do aprender, problematizador, criativo e crítico sem perder a utopia da emancipação. Portanto, este livro se propõe a trazer reflexões e experiências do cotidiano de sala de aula como possibilidade de exercitar a esperança diária em uma educação inclusiva, emancipatória, democrática e ecológica.
Handbook of Environmental Psychology and Quality of Life Research
This Handbook presents a broad overview of the current research carried out in environmental psychology which puts into perspective quality of life and relationships with living spaces, and shows how this original analytical framework can be used to understand different environmental and societal issues. Adopting an original approach, this Handbook focuses on the links with other specialties in psychology, especially social and health psychology, together with other disciplines such as geography, architecture, sociology, anthropology, urbanism and engineering. Faced with the problems of society which involve the quality of life of individuals and communities, it is fundamental to consider th...

Ciência Política
O presente trabalho nasceu do fascínio pelo estudo incansável acerca da formação do Estado, voltado às políticas públicas e à constitucionalização dos direitos de todos os cidadãos. A obra é destinada ao estudante que cursa disciplinas relacionadas com o presente estudo, exatamente por traçar uma base teórica das ideias e dos sistemas de elaboração institucional do Estado Moderno direcionado à estrutura contemporânea. Nessa senda, sintetiza-se o estudo decorrente das transformações ocorridas, substancialmente tendo como centro a formação do Estado, com ênfase nas revoluções liberais, sociais, intervencionismo estatal, conquista dos direitos fundamentais, regimes políticos, formas de governo, sistemas de governo, formas de Estado, dentre outros aspectos da Ciência Política. Da construção histórica até a promulgação da Constituição Federal vigente extrai-se a organização do Estado sob a ótica do assistencialismo, como escopo nas diretrizes e nas ações governamentais.
Psychology of Sustainable Development
Human activity overuses the resources of the planet at a rate that will severely compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Changes toward sustainability need to begin within the next few years or environmental deterioration will become irreversible. Thus the need to develop a mindset of sustainable development - the ability of society to meet its needs without permanently compromising the earth's resources - is pressing. The Psychology of Sustainable Development clarifies the meaning of the term and describes the conditions necessary for it to occur. With contributions from an international team of policy shapers and makers, the book will be an important reference for environmental, developmental, social, and organizational psychologists, in addition to other social scientists concerned with the impact current human activity will have on the prospects of future generations.
