OLHARES SOBRE A POLÍCIA MILITAR: questões metodológicas” surge de uma preocupação com as atuais pesquisas realizadas por e sobre polícia militar no Brasil. O “olhar situado”, que na antropologia é uma preocupação constante como uma espécie de escrutínio da objetividade dos dados e da descrição do pesquisador. No método de observação partipante a descrição circunstanciada de eventos e pessoas nada mais é do que a produção de um discurso, no caso antropológico, feito sob condições de produção específicas e efeitos das relações de lugar.
Polícia e Sociologia reúne textos especialmente sob um ponto de vista sociológico, mas sem se descuidar de certa interdisciplinaridade quanto a aspectos teóricos e metodológicos, sobre os dilemas que envolvem as Polícias Militares brasileiras.
Esta obra resulta de uma pesquisa de abrangência nacional, financiada pelo Programa das Nações Unidas/PNUD e Secretaria Nacional de Segurança Pública (SENASP), envolvendo três capitais brasileiras: Cuiabá (MT), São Luiz do Maranhão (MA), Belém do Pará (PA), que busca compreender o quadro relacional entre a população em situação ou condição de rua e os agentes de segurança pública. O objetivo principal é compreender as percepções dos (as) agentes de segurança pública diante das abordagens policiais, os procedimentos de orientação, atendimento e acolhida às pessoas em condição ou situação de rua e como estas pessoas, em extrema vulnerabilidade, constroem suas ped...
There are several books on properties of chitin and associated biomolecules and their biochemical significance. However, the present volume deals with a wide variety of biogeochemical and organic geochemical aspects of this vital macromolecule written by leading authors and experts in the field. Each chapter is carefully peer reviewed and is an updated account of recent research in isotopic, nanostructural, biochemical, microstructural, geochemical, paleontological and experimental aspects of chitin formation, distribution and preservation in the environment and earth history.
In Violence and Desire in Brazilian Lesbian Relationships, Allen examines the lives of Brazilian women in same-sex relationships. This examination contributes to interdisciplinary discussions of female same-sex sexuality, violence, race, and citizenship. Using fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, primarily with Afro-Brazilian women in the city of Salvador da Bahia, Allen argues that Brazilian lesbian women reject Brazilian cultural norms that encourage male domination and female submission through their engagement in romantic relationships with each other. At the same time Allen claims lesbian women also reproduce Brazilian cultural ideals that associate passion, intensity, and power with physical dominance through their engagement in infidelity and intimate partner violence. The book demonstrates that lesbian women are nonetheless marginalized as Brazilian citizens through widespread social and political invisibility despite these apparent displays of masculinized power.
øOne of the great successes of the law and economics movement has been the use of economic models to explain the structure and function of broad areas of law. The original contributions to this volume epitomize that tradition, offering state-of-the-art
This volume is based on the 10th International Nidovirus Symposium: Towards Control of SARS and other Nidovirus Diseases. The volume includes articles by all of the major contributors to this burgeoning area of research which summarize the work presented at the meeting. This represents the only comprehensive book to cover this field in the last five years.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this book brings together the current state of the art in phenotypic and rational, target-based approaches to drug discovery against pathogenic protozoa. The chapters focus particularly on virtual compounds and high throughput screening, natural products, computer-assisted drug design, structure-based drug design, mechanism of action identification, and pathway modelling. Furthermore, state-of the art "omics" technologies are described and currently studied enzymatic drug targets are discussed. Mathematical, systems biology-based approaches are introduced as new methodologies for dissecting complex aspects of pathogen survival mechanisms and for target identification. In addition, recently developed anti-parasitic agents targeting particular pathways, which serve as lead compounds for further drug development, are presented.
Ninth volume of a 40 volume series on nanoscience and nanotechnology, edited by the renowned scientist Challa S.S.R. Kumar. This handbook gives a comprehensive overview about Nanotechnology Characterization Tools for Tissue Engineering and Medical Therapy. Modern applications and state-of-the-art techniques are covered and make this volume an essential reading for research scientists in academia and industry.
