Este livro escancara o debate sobre a violência policial que dizima, cotidianamente, dezenas de jovens negros, indígenas e periféricos. Foi forjado na militância da autora no Movimento Mães de Maio desde que seu irmão, Paulo Alexandre Gomes de 23 anos, foi vítima de desaparecimento forçado, após abordagem policial, durante os Crimes de Maio de 2006. A obra traz um estudo contundente acerca da Polícia no Brasil; dos movimentos sociais de familiares de vítimas da violência, formados por mulheres que perderam seus filhos executados, sumariamente, pela Polícia Militar Paulista e o debate sobre as mídias alternativas que se contrapõem a mídia hegemônica burguesa. É uma importante contribuição para o Serviço Social brasileiro ao demonstrar a imprescindibilidade da articulação da profissão aos movimentos sociais, fazendo valer o princípio da defesa intransigente dos Direitos Humanos.
LIVRO dá voz a mulheres silenciadas há muitos anos. Mulheres que fazem parte da história brasileira, mas cujas trajetórias permanecem tão pouco conhecidas quanto o período no qual seus caminhos, embora distintos, se cruzam: a ditadura civil-militar. Se ainda resta muito a esclarecer sobre as violências cometidas pelo Estado brasileiro durante o regime militar, muito mais falta revelar sobre as mulheres que estavam ao lado daqueles que tombaram. São mães, irmãs e esposas de pessoas que se posicionaram contra o autoritarismo de diferentes maneiras e que por isso foram perseguidas, torturadas e assassinadas. Mulheres que não se calaram, nem durante a ditadura nem em tempos ditos demo...
Este livro preenche uma lacuna. Não havia até agora um texto acadêmico destinado a comentar o Código de Ética em vigor, de 1993, na sua totalidade. As autoras comentam o Código em seus fundamentos sócio-históricos e ontológicos, bem como em suas reais possibilidades de materialização, no contexto de uma sociabilidade fundada na acumulação e na propriedade privada.
An incisive new look at the black diaspora, examining the true roots of antiblackness and its destructive effects on all of society Thanks to movements like Black Lives Matter, Western society’s chronic discrimination against black individuals has become front-page news. Yet, there is little awareness of the systemic factors that make such a distinct form of dehumanization possible. In both the United States and Brazil—two leading nations of the black diaspora—a very necessary acknowledgment of black suffering is nonetheless undercut by denial of the pervasive antiblackness that still exists throughout these societies. In The Denial of Antiblackness, João H. Costa Vargas examines how ...
This detailed treatise is written for chemists who are not NMR spectroscopists but who wish to use carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. It shows why measurement of carbon-13 NMR is needed and explains how the method can - or should - be used for rapid characterization of flavonoids, one of the most diverse and widespread groups of natural constituents. The first part of the book presents background information and discussion of the essential aspects of flavonoids and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy and demonstrates its significant role in the revision of several earlier established chemical structures. It discusses various one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic techniques and other relevant experiment...

This book describes the importance, phytochemistry, bioactive compounds and nutritive value, uses and important cultivars of the most important tropical and subtropical fruits. Postharvest physiology, respiration, ethylene production, maturity and changes with ripening are reviewed at length. At the end of each chapter postharvest diseases, physiological disorders and their mechanisms are discussed as well as presenting ideas for future research. These fruits are highly perishable therefore understanding the physiology and new technology is key to extending their shelf life.
