Esta coletânea apresenta textos de natureza teórica e relatos de experiências pedagógicas. Sistematiza, de forma analítica e reflexiva, a aprendizagem colaborativa de pesquisadoras e professoras/es do Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará e Rio de Janeiro, em torno da inovação pedagógica em leitura e escrita, com uso de tecnologias de informação e comunicação e foco na inclusão. Registram-se, aqui, aprendizados conquistados e consolidados em 5 anos de trabalho conjunto.
In recent years, the role of plant secondary metabolites as protective constituents in the human diet has been a growing area of research. Unlike the traditional vitamins, they are not essential for short-term wellbeing, but there is increasing evidence that modest long-term intakes can have favourable impacts on the incidence of cancers and many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes, which are occurring in Western populations with increasing frequency. This book covers the latest science on the metabolism and potential health benefits of teas, cocoa, coffee and their extracts in the human diet. From an opening chapter tracing the origins of teas, cocoa and ...

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by parasitic protozoa that belong to the genus Plasmodium. This disease imposes a significant global health burden, claiming the lives of several thousand children and pregnant women each day. Increasing antimalarial drug resistance and the complexity of the Plasmodium life cycle, among other factors, have made eradication difficult. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine examines the biology, pathology, and epidemiology of malaria, as well as ongoing efforts to treat infections and manage their spread. Contributors discuss the Plasmodium life cycle, focusing on the molecular mech...

Cytogenomics demonstrates that chromosomes are crucial in understanding the human genome and that new high-throughput approaches are central to advancing cytogenetics in the 21st century. After an introduction to (molecular) cytogenetics, being the basic of all cytogenomic research, this book highlights the strengths and newfound advantages of cytogenomic research methods and technologies, enabling researchers to jump-start their own projects and more effectively gather and interpret chromosomal data. Methods discussed include banding and molecular cytogenetics, molecular combing, molecular karyotyping, next-generation sequencing, epigenetic study approaches, optical mapping/karyomapping, an...
In 1989, award-winning photographer Claudio Edinger was given permission to photograph the interior of Juqueri, the largest mental hospital in Latin America, and located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Living in the asylum for several weeks, returning the following year, Edinger photographed the patients -- most of whom do not wear clothes -- as they went about their daily rounds. The result is a boo or disturbing images which manage to bring into question one's assumptions about the nature of madness. In his poignant introduction, Edinger recounts how seeing his own grandmother battle Alzheimers led him on his odyssey to Juqueri. Edinger hopes his book will awake people to the realities of mental suffering, and perhaps reform society's disregard for those debilitated by it.

This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
