Nas últimas décadas, com o intuito de tornar o processo mais célere, o Brasil vem investindo no agigantamento do Poder Judiciário, na contratação de juízes e servidores, desenvolvimento de softwares e na mudança da legislação, muitas vezes em contraposição às garantias processuais. Trata-se de uma estratégia que se mostra ineficiente, pois não enfrenta o cerne do problema, que é a cultura demandista da sociedade e dos operadores do Direito, em especial da Administração Pública, cujos entes são os maiores litigantes do país. O livro tem como objetivo analisar e estabelecer os contornos necessários para a utilização dos meios consensuais de resolução de conflitos pelo...
The vast and exciting Brazilian flora biodiversity is still underexplored. Several research groups are devoted to the study of the chemical structure richness found in the different Biomes. This volume presents a comprehensive account of the research collated on natural products produced from Brazilian medicinal plants and focuses on various aspects of the field. The authors describe the key natural products and their extracts with emphasis upon sources, an appreciation of these complex molecules and applications in science. Many of the extracts are today associated with important drugs, nutrition products, beverages, perfumes, cosmetics and pigments, and these are highlighted. Key Features: Presents Brazilian biodiversity: its flora, its people, and its research Describes the emergence of natural products research in Brazil Emphasizes the increasing global interests in botanical drugs Aids the international natural product communities to better understand the herbal resources in Brazil Discusses Brazilian legislation to work with native plants
A presente obra busca oferecer uma nova abordagem do sul do Brasil, tradicionalmente retratado como território de brancos. Nesse sentido, o autor foca sua análise na cidade de Caxias do Sul, que, apesar de possuir uma população majoritariamente branca, foi cenário de uma associação negra, o Clube Gaúcho, entre os anos de 1934 e 1988. Trata-se, portanto, de um livro amplamente pesquisado, que visa reconhecer a identidade negra sulista brasileira.
One of the most fundamental questions for social scientists involves diffusion events; simply put, how do ideas spread and why do people embrace them? In Diffusion of Good Government: Social Sector Reforms in Brazil, Natasha Borges Sugiyama examines why innovations spread across political territories and what motivates politicians to adopt them. Sugiyama does so from the vantage point of Brazilian politics, a home to innovative social sector reforms intended to provide the poor with access to state resources. Since the late 1980s, the country has undergone major policy transformations as local governments have gained political, fiscal, and administrative autonomy. For the poor and other vuln...
The Portuguese Inquisition is often portrayed as a tyrannical institution that imposed itself on an unsuspecting and impotent society. The men who ran it are depicted as unprincipled bandits and ruthless spies who gleefully dragged their neighbors away to rot in dark, pestilential prisons. In this new study, based on extensive archival research, James E. Wadsworth challenges these myths by focusing on the lay and clerical officials who staffed the Inquisition in colonial Pernambuco, one of Brazil's oldest, wealthiest, and most populated colonies. He argues that the Inquisition was an integral part of colonial society and that it reflected and reinforced deeply held social and religious value...
Biopolymer Membranes and Films: Health, Food, Environment, and Energy Applications presents the latest techniques for the design and preparation of biopolymer-based membranes and films, leading to a range of cutting-edge applications. The first part of the book introduces the fundamentals of biopolymers, two-dimensional systems, and the characterization of biopolymer membranes and films, considering physicochemical, mechanical and barrier properties. Subsequent sections are organized by application area, with each chapter explaining how biopolymer-based membranes or films can be developed for specific innovative uses across the health, food, environmental and energy sectors. This book is a v...
The five-volume set LNCS 9786-9790 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2016, held in Beijing, China, in July 2016. The 239 revised full papers and 14 short papers presented at 33 workshops were carefully reviewed and selected from 849 submissions. They are organized in five thematical tracks: computational methods, algorithms and scientific applications; high performance computing and networks; geometric modeling, graphics and visualization; advanced and emerging applications; and information systems and technologies.
The benefits of pesticides are evident. However, the risk of adverse effects must be diminished. So, it is necessary to exert effective control of use and have available methods of calculating their environmental behavior. The models employ calculations that use concepts of activity and fugacity to characterize the equilibrium that exists between environmental compartments. Most of the emphasis is set on organic chemicals, which are more susceptible to generalization than inorganic chemical, when assessing environmental behavior.
Wound Healing presents recent information and basic knowledge about wound management, including healing mechanisms and actions. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, including pathophysiology and clinical and medical management. Chapters cover such topics as negative pressure wound management, hypertrophic scarring, biomaterials derived from plants, insulin use, and modified collagen. This book will help dermatologists, students, surgeons, and physicians who treat patients with wounds.
