No Brasil, a tutela coletiva dos chamados direitos individuais homogêneos segue um procedimento bifásico, que envolve fases com naturezas distintas. A primeira fase é essencialmente coletiva, conduzida pelos legitimados do art. 82 do Código de Defesa do Consumidor – CDC e encerrada, em caso de condenação do réu coletivo, por uma sentença condenatória genérica, cuja função será meramente de reconhecer a ocorrência do dano e a responsabilidade do agente. A segunda é individual e pulverizada, exigindo-se, a priori, a habilitação de cada um dos lesados para liquidação da sentença (delimitação do quantum e do cui debeatur) e posterior execução. Por diversos motivos – q...
A presente coletânea é uma construção coletiva composta por diversos autores da Região Nordeste do Brasil. Nossa concepção foi abordar ideias atuais que possam contribuir, de alguma forma, para a reflexão e transformação da realidade de quem reside nessa região. Ressignificando temáticas, olhares, saberes, práticas para propor uma mudança pragmática.
Although primarily used today as one of the most prevalent illicit leisure drugs, the use of Cannabis sativa L., commonly referred to as marijuana, for medicinal purposes has been reported for more than 5000 years. Marijuana use has been shown to create numerous health problems, and, consequently, the expanding use beyond medical purposes into recreational use (abuse) resulted in control of the drug through international treaties. Much research has been carried out over the past few decades following the identification of the chemical structure of THC in 1964. The purpose of Marijuana and the Cannabinoids is to present in a single volume the comprehensive knowledge and experience of renowned researchers and scientists. Each chapter is written independently by an expert in his/her field of endeavor, ranging from the botany, the constituents, the chemistry and pharmacokinetics, the effects and consequences of illicit use on the human body, to the therapeutic potential of the cannabinoids.
Esta obra aborda as controvérsias que cercam a sucessão legítima no Brasil, focando em duas questões centrais: a exclusão prévia do direito de concorrência e o status jurídico do cônjuge e do convivente como herdeiros. Propõe-se uma discussão aprofundada e fundamentada, buscando soluções que respeitem a justiça social e a regulamentação da vida conjugal. Desta forma, no tocante ao direito concorrencial, não obstante a necessidade de sua preservação, pretende-se demonstrar que é possível a sua exclusão prévia, lege lata, com o apoio na técnica de ponderação e na metodologia civil-constitucional; bem assim nas interpretações jurídicas (semântica, literal e gramati...
This essential volume comprehensively discusses redox-active therapeutics, focusing particularly on their molecular design, mechanistic, pharmacological and medicinal aspects. The first section of the book describes the basic aspects of the chemistry and biology of redox-active drugs and includes a brief overview of the redox-based pathways involved in cancer and the medical aspects of redox-active drugs, assuming little in the way of prior knowledge. Subsequent sections and chapters describe more specialized aspects of central nervous system injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, pain, radiation injury and radioprotection (such as of brain, lungs, head and neck and erectile function) and neg...
In contrast to the substantial literature that focuses upon innate immune signaling in the gut, there is remarkably less known about the response of the airway to bacterial pathogens. The purpose of this book will be to review the current status of theunderstanding of the pathogenesis of acute bacterial pneumonia, slanted toward the mucosal immunology of these infections. It will describe, in general, the signaling cascades that control the proinflammatory response to bacterial infection in the lung. How innate immune signaling is orchestrated in response to specific common airway pathogens is addressed, targeting Staphylococus aureus (including MRSA), Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. By describing the general immunological responses to conserved bacterial components and then detailing how specific organisms cause infection, this book provides a targeted but comprehensive review of this important topic.
"Organic Structure Analysis, Second Edition, is the only text that teaches students how to solve structures as they are solved in actual practice. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in organic structure analysis, organic structure identification, and organic spectroscopy, it emphasizes real applications-integrating theory as needed - and introduces students to the latest spectroscopic methods." --Book Jacket.
With the growth of public and private data stores and the emergence of off-the-shelf data-mining technology, recommendation systems have emerged that specifically address the unique challenges of navigating and interpreting software engineering data. This book collects, structures and formalizes knowledge on recommendation systems in software engineering. It adopts a pragmatic approach with an explicit focus on system design, implementation, and evaluation. The book is divided into three parts: “Part I – Techniques” introduces basics for building recommenders in software engineering, including techniques for collecting and processing software engineering data, but also for presenting r...
In this revised and expanded edition, leading forensic scientist John Trestrail offers a pioneering survey of all that is known about the use of poison as a weapon in murder. Topics range from the use of poisons in history and literature to convicting the poisoner in court, and include a review of the different types of poisons, techniques for crime scene investigation, and the critical essentials of the forensic autopsy. The author updates what is currently known about poisoners in general and their victims. The Appendix has been updated to include the more commonly used poisons, as well as the use of antifreeze as a poison.
Phenolic compounds comprise a broad class of natural products formed mainly by plants, but also microorganisms and marine organisms that have the capacity to form them. Nowadays the interest in these compounds has increased mainly due to their diverse chemical structure and wide biological activity valuable in the prevention of some chronic or degenerative diseases. The functional foods are a rich source of these phytochemicals, and this is the starting point for this book, which shows the state of the art of the phenolic compounds and their biological activity. This book integrates eleven chapters that show the state of the art of diverse biological activity of the phenolic compounds, present in some crops or fruits.
