Manual of Brazilian Portuguese Linguistics
This manual is the first comprehensive account of Brazilian Portuguese linguistics written in English, offering not only linguists but also historians and social scientists new insights gained from the intensive research carried out over the last decades on the linguistic reality of this vast territory. In the 20 overview chapters, internationally renowned experts give detailed yet concise information on a wide range of language-internal as well as external synchronic and diachronic topics. Most of this information is the fruit of large-scale language documentation and description projects, such as the project on the linguistic norm of educated speakers (NURC), the project “Grammar of spok...
Atlas Linguístico do Brasil
A aprendizagem com o dia a dia na construção de um projeto dessa dimensão e dessa natureza tem amplitude inimaginável, porque atinge dois importantes veios da atividade do pesquisador: o linguístico stricto sensu e o humano, cujos tentáculos avançam em muitas direções. [...] Pode parecer um longo tempo para o andamento de um projeto [...]. Temos, porém, que considerar o que recobre esse período [...]. Há de se perguntar, como administrar? Eis a questão. Uma primeira preocupação: o tempo que demanda um longo acervo para ser tratado não envelhecerá os dados, não haverá de tirar-lhes a atualidade? Posso afirmar que não. A documentação reunida é uma fotografia de um dado e...
Handbook of Object Novelty Recognition
Handbook of Object Novelty Recognition, Volume 26, synthesizes the empirical and theoretical advances in the field of object recognition and memory that have occurred since the development of the spontaneous object recognition task. The book is divided into four sections, covering vision and perception of object features and attributions, definitions of concepts that are associated with object recognition, the influence of brain lesions and drugs on various memory functions and processes, and models of neuropsychiatric disorders based on spontaneous object recognition tasks. A final section covers genetic and developmental studies and gender and hormone studies. - Details the brain structures and the neural circuits that underlie memory of objects, including vision and olfaction - Provides a thorough description of the object novelty recognition task, variations on the basic task, and methods and techniques to help researchers avoid common pitfalls - Assists researchers in understanding all aspects of object memory, conducting object novelty recognition tests, and producing reliable, reproducible results
Microneuroanatomy and Surgery
Microneuroanatomy is essential to understanding the brain. In many cases, passing on neuroanatomical knowledge is a difficult task to accomplish, yet this is chiefly due to those who are tasked with conveying this knowledge in classes and lectures, or in books. In reality, neuroanatomy is simple and needs to be understood as a tool for approaching the different areas of the brain, not as an obstacle, and the only way to overcome this problem is to correlate neuroanatomy with various types of disease (arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms, tumors, cavernomas, hydrocephalus, etc.) This book provides a novel approach to the relation between microneuroanatomy and brain diseases. Each chapter addresses a specific neuroanatomical region, and correlates all the key neuroanatomical aspects with diseases that affect it; further, each chapter provides detailed insights into safely performing brain surgery in the respective region.

Vascular Diseases for the Non-Specialist
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.
Estudos linguísticos em foco
Este livro foi concebido em homenagem à Profa. Dra. Fabiane Cristina Altino, uma pesquisadora da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, cujas pesquisas destacam-se nas áreas de Dialetologia, Sociolinguística e Linguística Histórica.

Além da homenagem, esta publicação tem como objetivo disseminar os resultados desses e de outros trabalhos com vistas a contribuir para a formação de estudantes da graduação e da pós-graduação em estudos linguísticos e também para os interessados em análise e descrição linguística.
The Political Economy of Global Responses to COVID-19
This book seeks to identify the reasons why some countries were more efficient and effective than others in responding to the COVID 19 pandemic, and why the global community failed to coalesce. What are the political determinants of the different state responses to the pandemic? Why was scientific advice rejected or ignored in many countries? What has been the role, respectively, of neoliberalism, populism, and authoritarianism in the making of Covid-19 policy? What role have each of these factors played in the uneven and clearly inadequate global response to the pandemic? In an effort to understand why some states failed to handle the pandemic properly, some of the literature suggests that ...
