There are few more active frontiers in plant science than helping understand and predict the ecological consequences of on-going, global changes in climate, land use and cover, nutrient cycling, and acidity. This collection of research papers and reviews focuses on how these changes are likely to interact with two important factors, clonal growth in plants and the introduction of species into new regions by humans, to reshape the ecology of our world. Clonal growth is vegetative reproduction in which offspring remain attached to the parent at least until establishment. Clonal growth is associated with the invasiveness of introduced species, their tendency to spread after introduction and negatively affect other species. Will changes in climate, land cover, or nutrients further increase biological invasions by introduced, clonal plants? The articles in this book seek to address this question with new research and theory on clonal growth and its interactions with invasiveness and other components of global change.

Livestock production systems are generally considered to have various negative environmental impacts, including nutrient leaching, and a significant contribution to global warming. In this respect, the reduction of gas or ammonia emissions can be achieved through improved efficiency in the choice of feedstuffs. The use of alternative feeds or additives can contribute to a more energy-efficient ration with lower emissions. Such strategies can contribute to improved animal production and health status. Studies have reported that feed additives such as nitrogen-containing compounds, probiotics, prebiotics, and plant extracts significantly reduce ruminant methane. Moreover, research suggested that fruit pomaces could be a low-cost fibre source in poultry nutrition, and that the inclusion of orange pulp in pigs’ diets can reduce the potential ammonia and methane emissions. To properly evaluate the most adequate reuse strategy it is necessary a specific life cycle assessment for each co-product.
ANO DE 2023. Lucas, um jovem policial, encontra evidências de um crime não solucionado, cometido em 1983. O caso contém ligações com seu pai, um policial aposentado que se culpa desde então por não ter impedido tal homicídio que o marcou para a vida toda. Disposto a desvendar o mistério e levar o assassino à Justiça, o jovem policial embarca em uma corrida contra o tempo, e, mesmo sofrendo ameaças, segue com a investigação, obtendo também a ajuda de um misterioso informante. Em paralelo, ele acaba tendo acesso a uma poderosa conquista científica: a invenção de uma máquina do tempo que pode estar sendo usada por uma empresa para fins ilícitos. Porém, envolver-se nesse intrincado caso pode resultar em mudanças inimagináveis na vida de Lucas e na de todos ao seu redor.
As pesquisas constituídas neste livro apresentam as contradições da humanidade e revelam histórias significativas, porém pouco divulgadas na sociedade, na medida em que evidenciam as consequências do trabalho para a saúde do trabalhador; denunciam as diversas formas de repressão social sob regimes ditatoriais, mas também revelam a potência dos diferentes grupos sociais atingidos pela repressão em resistir e buscar a reparação.
Ronan McCrea offers the first comprehensive account of the role of religion within the public order of the European Union. He examines the facilitation and protection of individual and institutional religious freedom in EU law and the means through which the Union facilitates religious input and influence over law. In addition, the book draws attention to the limitations on religious influence over law and politics that are required by the Union. It shows the extent to which suchlimitations are identified as fundamental elements of the EU's public order and as prerequisites for membership.The Union seeks to balance its predominantly Christian religious heritage with an equally strong secular...
O presente livro trata sobre essas contradições humanas que, por muitas vezes, a história oficial omitiu e ainda tende a ocultar. Esta coletânea de artigos apresenta um resgate da história realizado por pesquisadoras e pesquisadores que insistiram em denunciar o processo contínuo de desumanização vivenciado em contextos exploratórios. Assim, a obra nasceu para dar voz àqueles que foram silenciados ao longo do tempo, na intenção genuína de reconstituir simbolicamente a sua (e, por que não, a nossa) humanidade, principalmente e espeficiamente sob o ponto de vista de uma temática da saúde e segurança do trabalho.
