This book consists of seven chapters containing multiple questions of the global socially epistemological situation in science and higher education. Despite the progress of techno-sciences, we are facing blind flaws in leading systems of knowledge and perception. The global era, in a paradox way, connects the new knowledge of economics, postpolitics, postdemocracy, and biopolitical regulation of live and unpresentable forms of the global geo-located violence. Techno-optimism and techno-dictatorship in the twenty-first century coincide with the ideology of market, biopolitics of mandatory satisfaction, religious revivalism, and collapse of higher education. In order for sciences to recover, it is necessary to make a globally epistemological and moral turn toward the truth. The book shows that, when joint desires of the new economics of knowledge and technology erase epistemology (in a way to assign definitions of knowledge and rules and practices of the public usage of the mind), then the time for epistemology is on its way.
How stem cells behave is very much a factor of their local microenvironment, also known as the stem cell niche. Physical, chemical, or electrical signals from the neighboring cells or biochemical signals from distant cells are crucial in the cell fate decision process. A major challenge of tissue engineering is to mimic the natural cell environment by designing very sophisticated scaffolds able not only to mechanically support cells, but also to release signals biologically relevant for governing stem cell fate. In addition, increasing evidence suggests that abnormal interaction of stem cells with their niche is responsible for altered cell function leading to malignant transformation. This ...

Os trabalhos, organizados nesta obra, abordam experiências de práticas em planejamento e administração educacional, sistematizadas e analisadas por graduandos e graduandas do Curso de Pedagogia, da Universidade Federal do Dela do Parnaíba, a partir da metodologia do relato de experiências, considerada por muitos autores e autoras, em sua essência, como método de produção de conhecimento educacional.
A cada temporada de chuvas, os riscos de erosão acelerada do solo e movimentos de massa, particularmente em regiões mais íngremes, como as de serras e encostas em geral, atingem cotidianamente as populações que as ocupam, tanto no meio urbano como no rural. Profissionais envolvidos com a gestão e estabilização das áreas de risco, atuantes em órgãos públicos, consultorias e pesquisas acadêmicas, poderão se valer dos conceitos, métodos e aplicações apresentados nesta obra para melhor desenvolver o estudo, o controle e a prevenção desses processos. Amplamente ilustrada e com exemplos práticos nacionais e internacionais, Processos Erosivos e Recuperação de Áreas Degradadas...
