This work focuses on the experience of a Brazilian cassava starch agro-industry in developing its technological capabilities since 1917, when it was first established. Its main purpose is to explore how the process of technological progress which occurred along with that industrialization, especially regarding the starch industry, has been determined by the following variables: I) the pattern of capital accumulation, II) the capability of the related technical base to both the promotion or absorption of technological changes, and III) firms' strategies towards innovation.
Organizadores: Daniel de Mello Ferraz, Ana Paula Martinez Duboc We don’t know what the future holds among so much polarization, hybrid wars, movements to disassemble public education, but the role of a teacher educator who is engaged and aware of its representation in the society cannot be denied and vanished. On the contrary, a teacher educator in the complexity of his/her role will inevitably be reference of resistance: creating discursive and theoretical opportunities, legitimizing knowledge other than those which comes top down. Certainly, this book will trigger other similar projects and contribute meaningfully to critical teacher education (Fabrício Ono).

"This volume examines the public/private sector mix in a number of national healthcare systems and their interface with the goals of health equity and quality of healthcare. Moreover, there is a consideration of public accountability. The unique significance of this collection of national studies involving the public/private sector mix of healthcare services and/or finances is that it provides insights into the factors that enhance the public/private sector mix in fulfilling the goals of health equity and the quality of healthcare services as well as an understanding of the circumstances in which elements of the public/private sector mix may be harmful for the achievement of such goals in a variety of national settings. The contributions to this volume provide a variety of perspectives in dealing with these objectives"--

From Fanatics to Folk rejects conventional understandings of Brazilian millenarianism as exceptional and self-defeating. Considering millenarianism over the long sweep of Brazilian history, Patricia R. Pessar shows it to have been both dominant discourse and popular culture—at different times the inspiration for colonial conquest, for backlanders’ resistance to a modernizing church and state, and for the nostalgic appropriation by today’s elites in pursuit of “traditional” folklore and “authentic” expressions of faith. Pessar focuses on Santa Brígida, a Northeast Brazilian millenarian movement begun in the 1930s. She examines the movement from its founding by Pedro Batista—i...

Organizadores: Adilson Cristiano Habowski e Elaine Conte. Os debates sobre as experiências científico-educacionais em tempos de pandemia são necessários e urgentes para elaborarmos as mudanças repentinas que têm afetado a educação remota. Em uma sociedade hipercomplexa em que os recortes da vida estão circunscritos a barreiras físicas com o mundo e se resumem à comunicação virtualizada em plataformas de ensino, ao acúmulo de atividades, ao cansaço mental que nem sempre mobiliza as contradições e diferenças, mas as condicionam e adaptam... A escrita deste livro foi idealizada nos encontros do Núcleo de Estudos sobre Tecnologias na Educação (NETE/UNILASALLE/CNPq) com o apoio de outros estudiosos do Brasil, que colaboraram e compartilharam pesquisas recentes, formuladas a muitas mãos, para entender, pensar e produzir sínteses das discussões frente aos desafios conturbados e dilemas do trabalho contemporâneo e, assim, organizamos o livro Imagens do Pensamento: sociedade hipercomplexa e educação remota.
