Diálogos em Comunicação navega em mares por vezes revoltos onde circulam as mensagens que dão sentido à vida contemporânea. Ao discutir política, literatura, filosofia, antropologia, educação, saúde, mediados pela comunicação; diálogos lança sua rede e constrói uma teia de saberes onde o compromisso é com a boa leitura que leve a reflexão dos cenários contemporâneos e de suas múltiplas possibilidades.
Abram alas porque o conhecimento vai passar. Nas próximas páginas você conhecerá produções acadêmicas que tem em comum o eixo norteador políticas públicas & mídia. Sob este imenso guarda-chuva estão abrigados capítulos que transitam pela leitura mediada em ambiente virtual, saúde mental, rádio, futebol, política editorial, publicidade, ufa, são tantas as possibilidades de diálogo que poderíamos escrever um capítulo só apontando a dinâmica dos temas. Quando tratamos de políticas públicas costumamos esperar produções direcionadas para análises de ações governamentais em grande escala, mas aqui reunimos experiências de pesquisadores diversos que lançaram seus olhar...
The first book dedicated to the potential applications and unique properties of bacterial cellulose (BC), this seminal work covers the basic science, technology, and economic impact of this bulk chemical as well as the companies and patents that are driving the field. It reviews the biosynthesis and properties of BC, including genetics and characterization; discusses the advancing technology as it relates to product development, bioreactors, and production; and analyzes the economic impact of BC on a diverse range of industry applications, including materials and biomaterials, biological and polymer sciences, and electromechanical engineering.
This book, Natural Products and Cancer Drug Discovery, is written by leading experts in natural products in cancer therapy. The first two sections describe new applications of common herbs and foods for treatment of cancer. Section 3 deals with the development of new chemotherapeutics from Cannabis and endophytic fungi. Section 4 presented formulations of natural products for treatment of malignant melanoma. Made-to-order anticancer therapy from natural products using computational and tissue engineering approaches is addressed in the fifth section. It is our hope that this book may motivate readers to approach the evidence of anticancer natural products with an open mind and thereby spark an interest in making further contributions to the cancer treatment efforts.
In the post-genomic era, science is still challenged to explain the biosynthesis of complex polysaccharides and glycoconjugates. Unlike nucleic acids and proteins, the information needed for their biosynthesis is not clearly contained to this day within the genome of the various organisms. This means that no biosynthetic code has been revealed yet. As a result, there will be millions of structurally distinct, functional chemical species at the end of their biosynthesis. This book offers an up-to-date view on sulfated polysaccharide structure and function state of the art in different life kingdoms: bacteria, protista, plantae, fungi and animalia. The structure, activities and current thinking on the interplay between these two vital features (as well as ways to study them) are reviewed in the present book. The growing economical interest in sulfated polysaccharides due to their potential biotechnological use in different areas, such as pharmaceutical and food industries, are also commented on. The information within the chapters adds to other prior available literature; the intention of the authors was to extend and further develop the discussions related to glycobiology.
Este livro é resultado de uma das ações desenvolvidas a partir de um projeto de pesquisa macro, Mulheres que Escrevem: Produção e Circulação de Textos Femininos, integrado ao Programa de Incentivo à Pesquisa Aplicada – Docente (PIPAD) do Instituto Federal de Roraima – IFRR, Campus Boa Vista. O objetivo geral desse projeto é compreender a escrita como forma de expressão da mulher, bem como pensar sobre as práticas de produção de textos feitos exclusivamente por mulheres. Como uma das etapas previstas do projeto de pesquisa-ação, foi realizado o I Seletivo de Poesias para a publicação de um livro, com a finalidade de possibilitar a divulgação de produções escritas por ...
Drug repurposing or drug repositioning is a new approach to presenting new indications for common commercial and clinically approved existing drugs. For example, chloroquine, an old antimalarial drug, showed promising results for treating COVID-19, interfering with MDR in several types of cancer, and chemosensitizing human leukemic cells.This book focuses on the hypothesis, risk/benefits, and economic impacts of drug repurposing on drug discovery in dermatology, infectious diseases, neurological disorders, cancer, and orphan diseases. It brings together up-to-date research to provide readers with an informative, illustrative, and easy-to-read book useful for students, clinicians, and the pharmaceutical industry.
In After Palmares, Marc A. Hertzman tells the rise, fall, and afterlives of Palmares, one of history’s largest and longest-lasting maroon societies. Forged during the seventeenth century by formerly enslaved Africans in what would become northeast Brazil, Palmares stood for a century, withstanding sustained attacks from two European powers. In 1695, colonial forces assassinated its most famous leader, Zumbi. Hertzman examines the remarkable ways that Palmares and its inhabitants lived on after Zumbi’s death, creating vivid portraits of those whose lives and voices scholars have often assumed are inaccessible. With an innovative approach to African languages, and paying close attention to place as well as African and diasporic spiritual beliefs, Hertzman reshapes our understanding of Palmares and Zumbi and advances a new framework for studying fugitive slave communities and marronage in the African diaspora.
The evidence of cancer in humans, animals and plant species suggests that it is as old as multicellular life on Earth. Why is it so difficult to understand and fight? Because cancer begins from the organism's own mutated single cell focused on its own survival. It would be naive to expect that cancer could be ever entirely eliminated, but there is still hope for finding effective treatments. The book is to give a view of selected aspects of cancer like its spread in nature, novel anticancer drugs based on Chinese herbs or birch bark, novel promising targets of annexins and kinases and progress in immunotherapy. It is our hope that you will find in this book interesting, inspiring and stimulating information concerning cancer research.
O livro Agendas Políticas globais e locais e as práticas contemporâneas em educação, organizado por docentes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Políticas Públicas e Gestão Educacional (PPPG), da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), apresenta uma coletânea de textos decorrentes de produções científicas da interlocução entre a Educação Básica e a Educação Superior. Objetiva potencializar elementos de sinergia para a (re)construção de conhecimentos subjacentes a abertura de novos caminhos e perspectivas para compreender e avaliar, entre profissionais da educação, as agendas internacionais que vem governando as políticas públicas de educação em âmbito global e local.
