Nephrology is one of the fastest growing specialties in medicine. Nevertheless, kidney disease is one of the most serious unmet health needs in many countries. To provide healthcare access with the desirable equity worldwide, the nephrology community needs to discuss this public health issue and take part in decisions for elaboration of public health policies with more justice and equity. This book brings together key current public health problems that affect kidney function and illuminates them in contributions by an international group of nephrologists and general practitioners. The chapters review current knowledge and provide guidelines to manage these conditions and decrease the disease burden. At the end, developments in the digital era and their application to kidney disease treatment are synthesized, and a broader outlook on the future of nephrology is given. Ultimately, the publication aims to gather nephrology and public health expertise from researchers from all over the world, providing a broad vision of issues that must be discussed and overcome to guarantee a better treatment for patients with kidney diseases in the world today.
Why some cities are more effective than others at reducing inequalities in the built environment For the first time in history, most people live in cities. One in seven are living in slums, the most excluded parts of cities, in which the basics of urban life—including adequate housing, accessible sanitation, and reliable transportation—are largely unavailable. Why are some cities more successful than others in reducing inequalities in the built environment? In Urban Power, Benjamin Bradlow explores this question, examining the effectiveness of urban governance in two “megacities” in young democracies: São Paulo, Brazil, and Johannesburg, South Africa. Both cities came out of periods...
A Studio Nobel está lançando o livro Espirais de Madeira: uma história da arquitetura de Curitiba, do arquiteto Irã Taborda Dudeque. A obra nos permite compreender o papel da arquitetura no processo de afirmação cultural, política e econômica que Curitiba de 1920 a 1990. Para isso, a narrativa do autor parte de um conjunto de idéias literárias e artísticas (que formariam um quadro de referências simbólicas), e acompanha os desenvolvimentos destas idéias na política, na economia e na arquitetura. ¿Assim, a arquitetura de Curitiba não foi analisada para explicar os sucessivos estágios da arquitetura de Curitiba, num ciclo auto-referente. Serviu, em vez disso, como um corpo documental para tentar aclarar e compreender as pessoas que fizeram e fazem a cidade de Curitiba e, por conseguinte, o Estado do Paraná e o Brasil. A pretensão é que, entendendo-se esse processo histórico, fique mais claro o valor cultural da arquitetura produzida, ao mesmo tempo que se possa entender algumas das razões que levaram ao reconhecimento dos arquitetos por parte de uma sociedade¿, descreve Irã Dudeque.

Este estudo investiga os impactos da Lei no 13.467/17 nas negociações coletivas e na organização sindical brasileira. A lei alterou significativamente o panorama das negociações coletivas, concedendo maior autonomia aos sindicatos e às partes envolvidas, ao mesmo tempo em que extinguiu a obrigatoriedade da contribuição sindical, principal fonte de renda dessas entidades.

Inicialmente, o estudo oferece uma análise conceitual dos fundamentos da organização sindical brasileira, elucidando seus elementos...
