"A união de noventa autores para a elaboração de uma coleção é um fato que a engrandece sobremaneira. Mas reunir noventa autores para escrever uma coleção sobre o tema das pessoas com deficiência e os inúmeros desafios para que tenhamos uma sociedade efetivamente inclusiva, é notável! Trata-se de obra de construção coletiva que vem regada pelos eflúvios de amorosidade dos autores em prol da causa das pessoas com deficiência, aliada ao forte propósito de todos no sentido de indicar e encontrar caminhos e instrumentos para cumprir o nosso dever primordial de amor ao próximo. Ser "diferente" desafia o afeto e a empatia que desenvolvemos facilmente diante do que reconhecemos no...
A chegada desta obra no período em que um vírus letal ceifa tantas vidas faz cisões em paradigmas que estigmatizam o professor e a sua capacidade de criação, de superação de más condições de trabalho e de inventividade intelectual. Imersos em toda essa crise que vemos instalada no Brasil, por conta da crise sanitária, da crise econômica, da crise ética que enfrentamos, esses três professores, Marlene Barbosa de Freitas Reis, Daniel Júnior de Oliveira e Carla Conti de Freitas, além de todo o trabalho que seguiram realizando na educação, não abandonaram a pesquisa e nos presenteiam com seus textos e de mais trinta e cinco pesquisadores que não pararam, nem mesmo em tempos d...
Long-lasting peaces: overcoming the war-peace hiatus for a sustainable future is composed by seven chapters distributed in 3 parts destined to provoke reflections about a common theme: the existent obstacles and plausible solutions to achieve sustainable peaces. Each one of the articles discusses, in a critical perspective, important issues of the international agenda. Among the matters it can be found: the participation of belligerent actors as a means to an effective peace accord, the contradiction between structural violence and formal peace in South America, the promotion of women equity in peace processes, ethnic tensions and the achievement of peace through justice, new perspectives on food security and its impacts on refugees and IDPs, environmental commitments to lessen climate change, and mechanisms for socioeconomic human development.

This book presents a detailed account of different enzymes including pectinolytic and amylolytic systems, invertases, cellulases and hemicellulases, pectinases, proteases, laccases, phytases, alpha-glucuronidases, mannanases, lipases produced by different fungi. It also deals with many applications, including the transesterification and biodiesel production. The text incorporates different approaches to diverse enzyme systems—for a better understanding of the substrates involved in catalysis—as well as different processes of enzyme production, purification processes, gene and metabolic regulations, and engineering of enzymes.
This collection gives broad and up-to-date results in the research and development of materials characterization and processing. Coverage is well-rounded from minerals, metals, and materials characterization and developments in extraction to the fabrication and performance of materials. In addition, topics as varied as structural steels to electronic materials to plant-based composites are explored. The latest research presented in this wide area make this book both timely and relevant to the materials science field as a whole. The book explores scientific processes to characterize materials using modern technologies, and focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence among processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials. Topics covered include ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, minerals, ceramics, clays, soft materials, method development, processing, corrosion, welding, solidification, composites, extraction, powders, nanomaterials, advanced materials, and several others.
"This book presents an overall vision of different aspects of benefits of exercise, such as emotional and psychological benefits, role of exercise in insulin regulation, benefits in conditions such as fibromyalgia, oncologic disease, rheumatic inflammatory diseases, polycystic ovary syndrome, oral health, dementia, mental health and autism spectrum. Potentialities of aquatic exercise for health are also addressed. Developed within a base of scientific accuracy and precision, this book aims to accomplish a general synthesis of the topics included, so that it can be a scientific dissemination book for students and professionals in the field of fitness, who seek to update their scientific knowledge about the benefits of exercise in different areas of health, as well as the type of exercise that should be performed to prevent different pathologies, but who are not readers of scientific journals. Therefore, this book is a must read for fitness professionals, sport scientists, sports students, and for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge about the benefits of exercise in different pathologies, and in health in general"--
Biomechanical performance is a key to evaluating effectiveness in physical medicine and rehabilitation for neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Assessments can be applied to degenerative dysfunction (e.g., falls or knee osteoarthritis in older adults) and sports-related injuries (e.g., ankle sprain or anterior cruciate ligament injury). Patients' body movements and daily activity functions can be compared to the state of pre-injury condition or to the level of healthy individuals. Some cutting-edge studies have gone a step further and used biomechanical performance to develop physical medicine and rehabilitation approaches and explore the mechanisms behind their effectiveness. However, such studi...
This book presents the ‘state of the art’ of biomarkers research in neuropsychiatric conditions, from dementia to eating disorders, as well as providing methodological, practical and ethical issues related to the development of biomarkers. Biomarkers have revolutionized clinical research and practice in most fields of medicine, but psychiatry has lagged behind. However, in the last decade, there has been a growing expectation that biomarkers will advance and, ultimately, reframe psychiatry research and practice. Biomarkers might inform about diagnosis, therapeutics, prognosis, contributing to a ‘personalized medicine’. Understanding their meaning, possibilities and limitations will help clinicians, researchers and students in the related areas navigate and excel in the challenging and ever changing field of neuropsychiatric disorders.
