Bioética e Cuidados Paliativos Pediátricos
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...
Drugs and Human Behavior

Black American Cinema
This is the first major collection of criticism on Black American cinema. From the pioneering work of Oscar Micheaux and Wallace Thurman to the Hollywood success of Spike Lee, Black American filmmakers have played a remarkable role in the development of the American film, both independent and mainstream.

Black American Cinema also ...
Optical Coherence Tomography in Dentistry
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a method to "see inside of things" without destroying them, has been applied to subjects ranging from materials science to medicine. This book focuses on the biomedical application of OCT in dentistry, covering topics from dental materials to clinical practice. Since the introduction of the OCT method in ophthalmology in 1991, and then dentistry in 1998, developments in OCT methods, particularly in biomedical areas, have led to its dissemination worldwide. The chapters of this book cover the basics and recent global advances of OCT in dentistry, including an overview of the method and its use in cariology, restorative dentistry, dental materials, endodontics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, prosthodontics, soft oral tissues and nanodentistry. This book will be of interest to both newcomers in the field as well as those already working in OCT, either in research and/or the clinic. It will be of great use in courses on optical imaging applied to biomedical areas, particularly where it can provide real-life examples of the application of OCT.

It provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of policies and approaches towards prohibitionism and criminalization, emphasizing their impact on marginalized and socially stigmatized groups. Through a comparative lens, it explores alternative regulatory models, exemplified by Uruguay's Cannabis legalization trajectory. Additionally, the work critically examines the complex interplay between gender, media representations, and illicit drug trafficking, shedding light on the intricate dynamics involved. Central to its d...
Studying Diversity, Migration and Urban Multiculture
Anti-migrant populism is on the rise across Europe, and diversity and multiculturalism are increasingly presented as threats to social cohesion. Yet diversity is also a mundane social reality in urban neighbourhoods. With this in mind, Studying Diversity, Migration and Urban Multiculture explores how we can live together with and in difference. What is needed for conviviality to emerge and what role can research play? This volume demonstrates how collaboration between scholars, civil society and practitioners can help to answer these questions. Drawing on a range of innovative and participatory methods, each chapter examines conviviality in different cities across the UK. The contributors as...

Contemporary Art: a Very Short Introduction
Contemporary art has never been so popular - but the art world is changing. In a landscape of increasing globalization there is growing interest in questions over the nature of contemporary art today, and the identity of who is controlling its future. In the midst of this, contemporary art continues to be a realm of freedom where artists shock, break taboos, flout generally received ideas, and switch between confronting viewers with works of great emotional profundity and jaw-dropping triviality. In this Very Short Introduction Julian Stallabrass gives a clear view on the diverse and rapidly moving scene of contemporary art. Exploring art's striking globalisation from the 1990s onwards, he a...
