Galeria de racistas
A presente obra é fruto de uma parceria em caráter transnacional entre o Coletivo Negro de Historiadores Tereza de Benguela, a Toppled Monuments Archive (Arquivo de Monumentos Tombados) e a New York University. Na produção deste dossiê, participam apenas autores negros e negras, pois visa pautar o protagonismo da negritude na academia, intelectualidade, ciências e em todas as áreas que historicamente foram negadas pelo racismo em nosso país. Os capítulos propõem reflexões entorno da ocupação do espaço público, a construção dos lugares de memória no Brasil e políticas de reparação para indígenas e negros vitimados no período da colonização e pós-colonial. O livro insere-se no corolário de uma agenda de pesquisa que inspira os movimentos sociais e políticos contemporâneos que buscam políticas de reparação.
"Minha Cabeça me Salva ou me Perde": Povos de Terreiro na Guerra Religiosa
O livro, "Minha cabeça me salva ou me perde": Povos de terreiro na Guerra Religiosa lança sutilezas. Conflitos e negociações entre as diferenças internas dos segmentos das religiões afro-brasileiras são analisados pela autora, mostrando as contradições e os modos de organização que escapam à compreensão de muitos autores do campo religioso brasileiro. Não obstante a transposição, para o campo do debate público, das hierarquias do terreiro e as desavenças religiosas e pessoais, bem como as étnico-raciais, as lideranças religiosas evidenciam as dificuldades para o debate democrático, o modo de organização segmentar, em momentos de muita união e outros de diferenciação, mas se constituindo em uma formação própria, sendo acionado nos momentos de conflito com os segmentos pentecostais.
Advances in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Brazilian Symposium on Bioinformatics, BSB 2020, held in São Paulo, Brazil, in November 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually The 20 revised full papers and 5 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers address a broad range of current topics in computational biology and bioinformatics.
Stream Ecology
Running waters are enormously diverse, ranging from torrential mountain brooks, to large lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy subcontinents. While this diversity makes river ecosystems seem overwhelmingly complex, a central theme of this volume is that the processes acting in running waters are general, although the settings are often unique. The past two decades have seen major advances in our knowledge of the ecology of streams and rivers. New paradigms have emerged, such as the river continuum and nutrient spiraling. Community ecologists have made impressive advances in documenting the occurrence of species interactions. The importance of physical processes in rivers...
Computational Biomechanics
The combination of readily available computing power and progress in numerical techniques has made nonlinear systems - the kind that only a few years ago were ignored as too complex - open to analysis for the first time. Now realistic models of living systems incorporating the nonlinear variation and anisotropic nature of physical properties can be solved numerically on modern computers to give realistically usable results. This has opened up new and exciting possibilities for the fusing of ideas from physiology and engineering in the burgeoning new field that is biomechanics. Computational Biomechanics presents pioneering work focusing on the areas of orthopedic and circulatory mechanics, using experimental results to confirm or improve the relevant mathematical models and parameters. Together with two companion volumes, Biomechanics: Functional Adaptation and Remodeling and the Data Book on Mechanical Properties of Living Cells, Tissues, and Organs, this monograph will prove invaluable to those working in fields ranging from medical science and clinical medicine to biomedical engineering and applied mechanics.

World Yearbook of Education 2012
The phenomenon of "travelling reforms" has become an object of great professional interest and intensive academic scrutiny. The fact that the same set of educational reforms is transferred from one country to another made scholars wonder whether policy transfer has increased as a result of globalization. But also the fact that policy makers increasingly import "best practices "and international standards and use them as a tool to accelerate reform has captured the imagination of many that deal with policy studies. An international comparative perspective is key for understanding why reforms travel from one corner of the world to another. Not surprisingly, the study of policy borrowing and le...
O Fiador Dos Brasileiros
Faz da trajetória de Antônio P. Rebouças a porta de entrada para se compreender o mundo dos advogados no século XIX, suas ligações com a política e com os grandes debates de seu tempo : a cidadania, o fim da escravidão e a constituição de direitos civis para africanos e seus descendentes.
Deepening Democracy
The forms of liberal democracy developed in the 19th century seem increasingly ill-suited to the problems we face in the 21st. This dilemma has given rise to a deliberative democracy, and this text explores four contemporary cases in which the principles have been at least partially instituted.
Teacher Agency
Recent worldwide education policy has reinvented teachers as agents of change and professional developers of the school curriculum. Academic literature has analyzed changes in how teacher professionalism is conceived in policy and in practice but Teacher Agency provides a fresh perspective on this issue, drawing upon an ecological theory of agency. Using this model for understanding agency, Mark Priestley, Gert Biesta and Sarah Robinson explore empirical findings from the 'Teacher Agency and Curriculum Change' project, funded by the UK-based Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Drawing together this research with the authors' international experiences and perspectives, Teacher Agency addresses theoretical and practical issues of international significance. The authors illustrate how teacher agency should be understood not only in terms of individual capacity of teachers, but also in respect of the cultures and structures of schooling.
