Cultural heritage is perceived as the glue that keeps individuals together and makes them feel a part of something larger. It is the past that allows individuals to understand their present and move towards the future. In networked society, it is impossible to think about cultural heritage and its preservation and maintenance without including the digital processes and ICT systems, as well as its impact on territorial innovation. The Handbook of Research on Cultural Heritage and Its Impact on Territory Innovation and Development is a critical and comprehensive reference book that analyzes how preservation and sustainability of cultural heritage occurs in countries, as well as how it contributes to territorial innovation. Moreover, the book examines how technological tools contribute to its preservation and sustainability, as well as its dissemination. Highlighting topics that include public policies, spatial development, and architectural heritage, this book is ideal for cultural heritage professionals, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.
Este livro aborda um amplo conjunto de questões no campo dos estudos de gênero, sexualidade e educação no Brasil, cujo alicerce teórico-político pauta-se nas produções feministas, nos estudos queer, no pós-estruturalismo, na interface com as pedagogias decoloniais e interseccionais, em uma estreita vinculação com o contexto cultural e político contemporâneo. Nos últimos anos, temas como gênero, sexualidade e corpo têm gerado um grande desconforto por parte de grupos conservadores. Pesquisas realizadas com essas temáticas são colocadas em suspeição e docentes que atuam em todas as etapas de ensino relatam uma série de perseguições ao conduzirem suas aulas pelo viés dos Direitos Humanos, em defesa da equidade de gênero, das identidades vistas como dissidentes e de uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais. Esse vigoroso debate tem se fortalecido a partir do ativismo político em conjunto com as pesquisas que aqui apresentamos.
New advances of the neuroscience supported by a refined, reliable and valid phenotyping (e.g., at the level of symptoms and not at the level of disorders), are bringing some promising results. The mapping of clinical phenomenology on specific brain dysfunction is now becoming plausible and the resulting functional psychopathology may in the future significantly replace the present nosology (Jablensky, 2010). Nevertheless, as Andreasen (2007) points out: “Applying technology without companionship of wise clinicians with specific expertise in psychopathology will be a lonely, sterile and perhaps fruitless enterprise.” Some of the chapters of this Ebook deal with aspects which are essential to the historical understanding of mental symptoms and disorders.
O Centenário merecia uma História. Uma Nova História. História que trouxesse à luz novidades, muitas novidades que permaneciam escondidas no fundo dos arquivos. Novidades colhidas da boca de venerandos nonagenários, filhos ou netos dos fundadores de Lagoa Vermelha. Velhas histórias ameaçadas de desaparecer nas brumas do passado. História opulenta e apaixonante, verdadeira tentação, para os ficcionistas, que em cada capítulo, encontram assunto para grosso volume. A epopeia indianista, comandada pelo legendário Cacique Doble, nascido, criado e morto neste município, onde escreveu cantos de bravura e patriotismo, aguarda a pena de um poeta para imortalizá-la da Apresentação

This clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program). Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in...
"In this book, 14 scholars from Belgium, Canada, Mozambique, Portugal, the US, and the UK examine the long-term cultural and social environment of sex definition in different continents. The study of medieval and early modern Portugal shows limited rights of women and patriarchal constraints. The impact on gender definition of Portuguese expansion in Africa, Asia, and the New World is analysed with the inclusion of local agency informing indigenous responses. Unstable constructions of masculinity, femininity, queer, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender identities and behaviours are placed in historical context. The use of language and literary representation are part of this research. Contributors are: Darlene Abreu-Ferreira, Vanda Anastácio, Francisco Bethencourt, Dorothée Boulanger, Rosa Maria dos Santos Capelão, Maria Judite Mário Chipenembe, Gily Coene, Philip J. Havik, Ben James, Anna M. Klobucka, Chia Longman, Amélia Polónia, Ana Maria S. Rodrigues, Isabel dos Guimarães Sá, Ana Cristina Santos, and João Silvestre"--
This book describes how man-made litter, primarily plastic, has spread into the remotest parts of the oceans and covers all aspects of this pollution problem from the impacts on wildlife and human health to socio-economic and political issues. Marine litter is a prime threat to marine wildlife, habitats and food webs worldwide. The book illustrates how advanced technologies from deep-sea research, microbiology and mathematic modelling as well as classic beach litter counts by volunteers contributed to the broad awareness of marine litter as a problem of global significance. The authors summarise more than five decades of marine litter research, which receives growing attention after the rece...
