Christian Higher Education
This book offers a fresh report and interpretation of what is happening at the intersection of two great contemporary movements: the rapid growth of higher education worldwide and the rise of world Christianity. It features on-site, evaluative studies by scholars from Africa, Asia, North America, and South America. Christian Higher Education: A Global Reconnaissance visits some of the hotspots of Christian university development, such as South Korea, Kenya, and Nigeria, and compares what is happening there to places in Canada, the United States, and Europe, where Christian higher education has a longer history. Very little research until now has examined the scope and direction of Christian higher education throughout the world, so this volume fills a real gap.
Biomechanical Spectrum of Human Sport Performance
Writing or managing a scientific book, as it is known today, depends on a series of major activities, such as regrouping researchers, reviewing chapters, informing and exchanging with contributors, and at the very least, motivating them to achieve the objective of publication. The idea of this book arose from many years of work in biomechanics, health disease, and rehabilitation. Through exchanges with authors from several countries, we learned much from each other, and we decided with the publisher to transfer this knowledge to readers interested in the current understanding of the impact of biomechanics in the analysis of movement and its optimization. The main objective is to provide some interesting articles that show the scope of biomechanical analysis and technologies in human behavior tasks. Engineers, researchers, and students from biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can benefit from this compendium of knowledge about biomechanics applied to the human body.
100 anos de edição gráfica da Pinacoteca do Estado, 1912-2012
The first exhibition catalogue of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo was published in 1912, establishing a tradition in publications devoted to the institution's collections. This exhibition, which celebrates 100 years of graphic and editorial production of the Pinacoteca, features posters, invitations, brochures, catalogues and books, as well as original documents never before displayed in public.
Connecting Worlds
This book establishes a dialogue between colonial studies and the history of science, contributing to a renewed analytical framework grounded on a trans-national, trans-cultural and trans-imperial perspective. It proposes a historiographical revision based on self-organization and cooperation theories, as well as the role of traditionally marginalized agents, including women, in processes that contributed to the building of a First Global Age, from 1400 to 1800. The intermediaries between European and local bearers of knowledge played a central role, together with cultural translation processes involving local practices of knowledge production and the global circulation of persons, commoditi...
Gender, Race, and Patriotism in the Works of Nísia Floresta
The first full length study in English of a prolific Brazilian writer engaged with the discourses of women's rights, education, slavery, literary Indianism, political ideology and nation-building. Nísia Floresta Brasileira Augusta (1810-85) published prolifically in Brazil and Europe on the position of women and other subjects central to Brazilian national identity after independence. As such she is a hugely significant figure in the development of women's writing and feminist discourse in Brazil, yet this book is the first full length study of her work to be published in English. Through a close analysis of the writer's engagement with the discourses of women's rights, education, slavery, ...
PERSPECTIVAS PLURAIS
Ao longo de vinte anos no ensino público estadual e municipal no Rio de Janeiro e nos últimos cinco anos de atuação no coletivo Pais Pretos Presentes junto a famílias pretas, pobres e periféricas em situação de vulnerabilidade social, percebo algumas inquietações predominantes entre tais famílias, o poder público e os profissionais que mediam essa relação. O que é a paternidade? Como se comunicar com filhos adolescentes? O cuidado tem gênero? Do que as famílias precisam? Como interromper o ciclo de reprodução de preconceitos, julgamentos e padrões socialmente impostos nas famílias? Como se qualificar para a adoção? De quais formas a violência doméstica pode ser comba...
Oficinas clínicas do cuidado
Obra escrita por seis autoras, todas ligadas a atividades de ensino e pesquisa na Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sergio Arouca (Ensp/Fiocruz), Oficinas Clínicas do Cuidado: efeitos da narratividade sobre o trabalho em saúde apresenta experiências de um curso-oficina no campo da saúde. O livro é voltado especialmente para gestores e profissionais da saúde, incluindo professores e alunos da área. Um dos objetivos do título é, segundo as autoras, discutir o potencial formador de uma experiência de qualificação profissional. No caso, o curso “Oficinas Clínicas sobre o Cuidado”, iniciativa que vem sendo conduzida na Ensp/Fiocruz e que serve de referência para o livro. As pes...
O Golpe Contra a Educação
Ao longo deste livro apresentaremos as estratégias organizadas pelos políticos de Minas Gerais na elaboração da Lei no 281, conhecida como Reforma Silviano Brandão, a qual suprimiu as escolas rurais mineiras e limitou os gastos públicos com o ensino primário do Estado. Para o deputado mineiro Luiz Cassiano, esta Reforma consistia em um "golpe contra a educação", pois limitava a população mineira em ter acesso ao ensino e colaborava para o aumento do número de cidadãos analfabetos. Nesta investigação, propomos apresentar as táticas organizadas pela população mineira, em especial do município de Sabará, para driblar a supressão das escolas primárias e conseguir do Estado ...
Human Interaction and Emerging Technologies
This book reports on research and developments in human-technology interaction. A special emphasis is given to human-computer interaction, and its implementation for a wide range of purposes such as healthcare, aerospace, telecommunication, and education, among others. The human aspects are analyzed in detail. Timely studies on human-centered design, wearable technologies, social and affective computing, augmented, virtual and mixed reality simulation, human rehabilitation and biomechanics represent the core of the book. Emerging technology applications in business, security, and infrastructure are also critically examined, thus offering a timely, scientifically-grounded, but also profession...
