A OMS declara que "cuidado paliativo para crianças é o cuidado ativo total do corpo, mente e espírito, e também envolve o suporte à família. Ele começa quando a doença é diagnosticada e continua mesmo que a criança não receba tratamento direcionado à doença. Profissionais da saúde devem avaliar e aliviar sofrimentos físicos, psicológicos e sociais de uma criança. O cuidado paliativo efetivo requer uma ampla abordagem multidisciplinar que inclui a família e utiliza os recursos disponíveis na comunidade; ele pode ser implementado com sucesso mesmo se os recursos forem limitados. Pode ser prestado em instituições de cuidados terciários, em centros de saúde comunitários e...
This book discusses strategies and methodologies for the storage and preservation of digital art and processes of collections digitization, also including studies on the new forms of organization and availability of information in data visualization systems. Furthermore, Possible Futures presents case studies and reflections on the rise of database aesthetics and the emerging field of information curatorship.

Although restorative justice is probably one of the most talked about topics in contemporary criminology, little has been written about how community involvement in restorative justice translates into practice. While advocates have presented the community as an essential pillar of restorative justice, the rationale for why and how this is the case remains underdeveloped and largely unchallenged. This book offers an empirical and theoretical explanation of what ‘community involvement’ means and what work it does in restorative justice. Drawing on an empirical case study and the wider sociological literature, The Role of Community in Restorative Justice examines the involvement of the comm...
O livro “Percursos contemporâneos: realidades da arte, ciência e tecnologia” apresenta uma miríade de olhares sobre a arte, ciência e tecnologia e é composto por capítulos de professores/as e pesquisadores/as doutores/as que são referências no campo de estudos dessas relações. Os temas principais são abordados através de diversas outras correlações que revelam nuances a partir de olhares múltiplos. Também são temas desta coletânea: a alquimia; a realidade e a mentira; os museus e as paisagens; o interator e a recepção da obra de arte; a realidade virtual e a dimensão artesanal que ela implica; as hibridações; a preservação do patrimônio e a memória; a imagem técnica e poética dentre outros. Os trabalhos deste livro revelam percursos de leitura das realidades diversas. Os importantes estudiosos que compõem esta obra nos mostram caminhos e acabam escolhendo e percorrendo um ou mais percursos, uma ou mais realidades. Cabe ao/à leitor/a, a partir de agora, analisar e constituir a sua própria leitura, o seu próprio percurso, buscando não apenas dar mais passos, mas enxergar além do brilho sem desviar o olhar.
O título do livro remete o leitor à memória e não ao reducionismo dos “bits” sem poéticas. A memória transcende a temporalidade de nossas ações. Preservar a memória por meio dos artefatos, das imagens, dos cheiros, dos gestos, dos sons, das coisas em si, do acervo digital. Preservar a memória do que esteve e nunca deixou de estar dentro de nós, significa visitar e re-visitar as culturas nas diversas temporalida des, em que espaço-tempo são únicos, no processo de criação. O Prof. Pablo Gobira nos convida a visitar e re-visitar os textos de autores ilustres, em que ele se faz presente. Autores de campos e áreas de conhecimentos, que são espelhos da criação cultural. A i...
The endocannabinoid system consists of cannabinoid receptors, their endogenous lipid ligands (endocannabinoids) and the enzymatic machinery for their synthesis and degradation. In the brain, endocannabinoids regulate ion channel activity and neurotransmitter release and thereby contribute to various aspects of brain function, including memory, reward and emotions. Their ability to modulate synaptic efficacy has a wide range of functional consequences and provides unique therapeutic possibilities. Unprecedented advances have been made in the understanding of the role of endocannabinoids in the regulation of the emotional brain over the past few years. However, a comprehensive book encompassing all these aspects is still lacking. The book will provide an overview of the role played by the endocannabinoid system in the regulation of emotional processes with particular emphasis on the modulation of memory and reward for emotionally arousing events and for the regulation of motivational aspects in cannabis use.
Our daily lives, our culture and our politics are now shaped by the digital condition as large numbers of people involve themselves in contentious negotiations of meaning in ever more dimensions of life, from the trivial to the profound. They are making use of the capacities of complex communication infrastructures, currently dominated by social mass media such as Twitter and Facebook, on which they have come to depend. Amidst a confusing plurality, Felix Stalder argues that are three key constituents of this condition: the use of existing cultural materials for one's own production, the way in which new meaning is established as a collective endeavour, and the underlying role of algorithms ...
György Buzsáki's The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function have become stagnant and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of Rhythms of the Brain, Professor Buzsáki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of action's consequence. Consider that our brains are initially filled with nonsense patterns, all of which are gibberish until grounded by action-based interactions. By matching these nonsense "words" to the outcomes of action, they acquire meaning. Once its circuits are "calibrated" by action and experience, the brain can disengage from its sensors and actuators, and examine "what happens if" scenarios by peeking into its own computation, a process that we refer to as cognition.
