This book of Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing contains accepted papers presented at SOCO 2023 conference held in the beautiful and historic city of Salamanca (Spain) in September 2023. Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational techniques in machine learning, computer science, and some engineering disciplines, which investigate, simulate, and analyze very complex issues and phenomena. After a through peer-review process, the 18th SOCO 2023 International Program Committee selected 61 papers which are published in these conference proceedings and represents an acceptance rate of 60%. In this relevant edition, a particular emphasis was put on the organization of sp...

A presente obra trata a tributação de lucros de empresas multinacionais à luz de uma noção de Justiça Fiscal Internacional. Após desenvolver esta noção, o autor da obra analisa o regime jurídico-fiscal aplicável às transações entre empresas do mesmo grupo multinacional constante do Direito português e da generalidade das Convenções para evitar a dupla tributação internacional dos rendimentos. Em especial, o autor desenvolve uma apreciação crítica do regime de preços de transferência, considerando as convenções modelo da OCDE. Na conclusão, o autor propõe tributar aqueles lucros através da adoção de métodos de repartição formulaica - «formulary apportionment» - mais debatendo formas de implementação concreta destes métodos tendo em conta o direito constituído.
Desktop Grid Computing presents common techniques used in numerous models, algorithms, and tools developed during the last decade to implement desktop grid computing. These techniques enable the solution of many important sub-problems for middleware design, including scheduling, data management, security, load balancing, result certification, and fault tolerance. The book’s first part covers the initial ideas and basic concepts of desktop grid computing. The second part explores challenging current and future problems. Each chapter presents the sub-problems, discusses theoretical and practical issues, offers details about implementation and experiments, and includes references to further reading and notes. One of the first books to give a thorough and up-to-date presentation of this topic, this resource describes various approaches and models as well as recent trends that underline the evolution of desktop grids. It balances the theory of designing desktop grid middleware and architecture with applications and real-world deployment on large-scale platforms.
How does a city boy who only lived to the age of fifteen "go viral" more than a decade after he died? Discover the story of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the first millennial to be beatified by the Catholic Church. Born in 1991, the same year as the launch of the World Wide Web, Carlo has been hailed by the pope as an example of love and holiness in our complex digital age. This tech-savvy Italian teen has shown the world that computer coding and video games are no obstacle to sainthood. From a young age, Carlo's enthusiasm for Jesus was contagious. His witness brought his own family back to faith and even helped convert his Hindu au pair to Catholicism. Carlo called the Eucharist "my highway to hea...
Based on exclusive interviews with the United Nations Secretary-General himself, this is the first book to explain how António Guterres thinks and operates, in an era of renewed great power competition and rising nationalism. The UN leader was re-elected for a second term starting in 2022; yet, after five years in the job, Guterres' discreet diplomacy continues to intrigue even politicians, diplomats and analysts. Honest Broker introduces a world leader to the world public, revealing Guterres' profound religion convictions, and his views on issues as wide-ranging as women's rights, gay rights, global terrorism and the political influence of social media. Pedro Latoeiro and Filipe Domingues ...
O autor ajuda o leitor a repensar a sexualidade humana, o matrimônio e a família à luz dos desafios dos tempos atuais. Coloca-se e nos coloca no gume da espada, pois somos chamados a não rejeitar ou fragilizar a moral cristã católica, mas, ao mesmo tempo, perceber a necessidade de novos discernimentos e avanços pastorais. Com o apoio de alguns documentos da Igreja, o autor traça o caminho de contextualizar a sexualidade e discute qual deve ser a abordagem de pastorais e cristãos.
A intenção da obra é apresentar o caminho que a Igreja vem percorrendo no campo da animação bíblica a partir das reflexões do Magistério Pontifício e da CNBB. Como resultado dessas reflexões, propõem-se um plano de ação para as dioceses e os diversos setores das paróquias, com itinerários que auxiliarão a evidenciar e a estimular a oração, o estudo, a celebração e a prática bíblica nas diversas pastorais.
O livro Fofocas da Antiguidade apresenta temas densos da Antiguidade, contando-os como se fosse uma fofoca, mas não uma fofoca relativa à ideia de uma narrativa bombástica acerca de alguém, e sim àquela ligada a fatos ocorridos há milhares de anos, possibilitando que o leitor adentre na História, revivendo-a como se estivesse naquele contexto narrado, como conta o professor e historiador Filipe Domingues (@filipendomingues): "Nunca saberemos exatamente o que é ser um escravizado no bairro dos oleiros em Atenas do século V a.C. ou um senador patrício na Pax Romana, contudo André Barreto Campello [no "Fofocas da Antiguidade"] nos oferece excelentes pistas. O historiador George Duby ...
