A agricultura familiar na era da segurança hídrica e alimentar
O presente livro é fruto de um projeto de suporte à agricultura familiar, nas dimensões água, alimento e educação, em que o esforço para garantia de acesso à água e segurança hídrica resultou em impactos sociais e econômicos relevantes aos grupos estudados, garantindo também a segurança alimentar das famílias. Nesse contexto, os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável – ODS também foram analisados, trazendo correlação direta do modelo implementado com os ODS: 1 – Erradicação da Pobreza; 2 – Fome Zero e Agricultura Sustentável; 5 – Igualdade de Gênero; 8 – Trabalho decente e crescimento econômico, 10 – Redução das desigualdades; 13 – Ação contra a mudança global do clima; e 17 – Parcerias. O modelo estudado pode ser expandido a outros grupos familiares, respeitando as peculiaridades culturais socioprodutivas, com contribuições importantes ao bem-estar e à qualidade de vida da coletividade, e ainda servir de base para políticas públicas de suporte à agricultura familiar. A agricultura familiar na era da segurança hídrica e alimentar!
Temporomandibular Disorders
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), are a set of more than 30 health disorders associated with both the temporomandibular joints and the muscles and tissues of the jaw. TMDs have a range of causes and often co-occur with a number of overlapping medical conditions, including headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. TMDs can be transient or long-lasting and may be associated with problems that range from an occasional click of the jaw to severe chronic pain involving the entire orofacial region. Everyday activities, including eating and talking, are often difficult for people with TMDs, and many of them suffer with severe chronic pain due to this condition. Common socia...

Sustainable Use of Soils and Water
This book on the sustainable use of soils and water addressed a variety of issues related to the utopian desire for environmental sustainability and the deviations from this scene observed in the real world. Competing interests for land are frequently a factor in land degradation, especially where the adopted land uses do not conform with the land capability (the natural use of soil). The concerns of researchers about these matters are presented in the articles comprising this Special Issue book. Various approaches were used to assess the (im)balance between economic profit and environmental conservation in various regions, in addition to potential routes to bring landscapes back to a sustainable status being disclosed.
Impacts of Anthropogenic Activities on Watersheds in a Changing Climate
The immediate goal of this Special Issue was the characterization of land uses and occupations (LULC) in watersheds and the assessment of impacts caused by anthropogenic activities. The goal was immediate because the ultimate purpose was to help bring disturbed watersheds to a better condition or a utopian sustainable status. The steps followed to attain this objective included publishing studies on the understanding of factors and variables that control hydrology and water quality changes in response to human activities. Following this first step, the Special Issue selected work that described adaption measures capable of improving the watershed condition (water availability and quality), namely LULC conversions (e.g., monocultures into agro-forestry systems). Concerning the LULC measures, however, efficacy was questioned unless supported by public programs that force consumers to participate in concomitant costs, because conversions may be viewed as an environmental service.
Earth Stewardship
This book advances Earth Stewardship toward a planetary scale, presenting a range of ecological worldviews, practices, and institutions in different parts of the world and to use them as the basis for considering what we could learn from one another, and what we could do together. Today, inter-hemispheric, intercultural, and transdisciplinary collaborations for Earth Stewardship are an imperative. Chapters document pathways that are being forged by socio-ecological research networks, religious alliances, policy actions, environmental citizenship and participation, and new forms of conservation, based on both traditional and contemporary ecological knowledge and values. “The Earth Stewardship Initiative of the Ecological Society of America fosters practices to provide a stable basis for civilization in the future. Biocultural ethic emphasizes that we are co-inhabitants in the natural world; no matter how complex our inventions may become” (Peter Raven).

Considerar a contribuição e os desdobramentos que a série de eventos do Seminário Internacional Fazendo Gênero repercutem nos diferentes contextos e campos dedicados aos feminismos e estudos de gênero desde sua primeira edição – ocorrida ainda no século passado – vão ao encontro de seu compromisso em mobilizar debates em torno desses temas.

Depression and Diabetes
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple interrelationships between depression and various physical diseases. The WPA is providing an update of currently available evidence on these interrelationships by the publication of three books, dealing with the comorbidity of depression with diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Depression is a frequent and serious comorbid condition in diabetes, which adversely affects quality of life and the long-term prognosis. Co-occurrent depression presents peculiar clinical challenges, making both conditions harder to manage. Depression and Diabetes is the first book devoted to the interaction between these common disorders. World lead...
