This book aims to provide non-specialist healthcare practitioners with current, focused and objective information on the most common vascular diseases encountered in daily clinical practice. In day-to-day clinical practice many healthcare practitioners do not have a working knowledge of the most common vascular diseases that frequently arise in patient care. Some of these topics include: aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, diabetic foot, venous thromboembolism, cerebrovascular disease, aortic dissection, and acute limb ischemia. These commonly encountered vascular diseases are becoming public health issues due to their high morbidity and mortality as well as increasing healthcare costs. Since patients with vascular diseases are often referred to non-specialists, the general practitioner must know how to proper handle the most common vascular diseases encountered in daily clinical practice. For each disease the concept, epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis and treatment are described, followed by essential advice on what the non-specialist can do for the patient and when to refer the patient to a specialist.
A busca pela qualidade da pesquisa é uma meta permanente das Instituições de Ensino, das Agências de Fomento, dos Pesquisadores e dos estudantes que estão iniciando nesse diálogo com diferentes saberes, investigação do ambiente científico ou social e produção de novos conhecimentos. A busca pela qualidade da pesquisa envolve inúmeras atividades e compromissos que favorecem a evolução do pesquisador e o desenvolvimento de estratégias de interação e integração com os lugares onde vivem. Esse processo, especialmente quando contempla a investigação a partir de uma teoria ou método de análise, supõe o conhecimento das origens do pensamento em evidência, neste caso do auto...
A queixa escolar vem sendo estudada na Psicologia há muitos anos. Inicialmente, pensava-se que a falha, de origem biopsicológica, era de culpa do aluno, sendo este o único responsável pelas suas dificuldades. Após isso, criaram teorias que culpabilizavam suas famílias e a explicação era de origem socioeconômica. O sistema escolar também foi pensado como responsável pelas dificuldades apresentadas pelos alunos. Apesar da relação família-escola ser fator importante no surgimento de dificuldades escolares, ainda não existe uma comunicação produtiva entre essas. Essa forma de pensar a queixa escolar leva as famílias a buscarem atendimento em clínicas psicológicas para as queixas escolares de seus filhos. Considerando famílias e uma escola de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo, de maneira interconectada e lançando um olhar sistêmico sobre as queixas escolares, este livro busca compreender a relação família- escola, sem procurar culpados para a dificuldade da criança.

Handbook of Microfinance addresses the gap between clients who are benefiting from access to financial services via MFIs, and the potential market, which remains underserved or untapped. This gap can be attributed to a "mismatch" between what consumers, or potential clients, demand and what MFIs offer in terms of financial products. The scope of the book is wide. It includes successes and failures, main challenges and debates, methodologies for impact evaluation via random trials, leading trends in Asia versus Latin America, main efforts in Africa, the importance of value chains in Central America, ethical and gender issues, savings, microinsurance, governance, commercialization trends and the potential advantages and disadvantages of it. Lastly it features main lessons from informal finance and 19th-century credit cooperatives addressing the above-mentioned mismatch.
Neste livro, a autora busca problematizar os discursos de alunos(as), mães e professores(as) do ensino médio, acerca do tratamento dado às questões de sexualidade na escola. Tal problematização se dá a partir de produções pós-estruturalistas e, sobretudo, as teorizações do filósofo francês Michel Foucault. Para esse filósofo, a sexualidade é um "dispositivo histórico", ou seja, constitui-se no movimento da história, sendo uma invenção social de um determinado tempo. Sua constituição ocorre a partir das construções no campo discursivo sobre o sexo que abarca os saberes sobre ele, bem como sua normatização e regulação social por meio das produções de verdade.

The referential book by Álvaro Siza on his own work, in its first English edition. Describing some of his projects, his expectations and struggles, references and decisions, this book is a fundamental contribution to the understanding of Álvaro Siza’s architectural thinking. The text is accompanied by an extensive set of drawings from his notebooks, an obstinate presence in Siza’s particular way of working, some of which never published before. A personal and fundamental testimony of one of the most celebrated living architects, covering the full range of design – from architecture to city planning, furniture and objects – in a must-read book for all interested in Art and Architecture. “potent not only for understanding Siza’s practice over many decades, but for undertaking architectural design or architectural criticism and history today.” — Barry Bergdoll
