New Insights into the Future of Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety
In the last decade, pharmacoepidemiology has emerged as an important field to study the use/effects of drugs in large populations in real life, allowing for improved benefits and effectiveness of drugs as well as a decline in drug-related risks. The correct assessment, reporting, monitoring, and prevention of adverse events in drugs’ development, as well as therapy and post-market surveillance, is essential to improve clinical therapies and health outcomes. This book provides a comprehensive and unique overview of the relevance, new insights, and recent findings of pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety in public health.
Life in the Megalopolis
The modern metropolis has been called 'the symbol of our times', and life in it epitomizes, for many, modernity itself. But what to make of inherited ideas of modernity when faced with life in Mexico City and São Paulo, two of the largest metropolises in the world? Is their fractured reality, their brutal social contrasts, and the ever-escalating violence faced by their citizens just an intensification of what Engels described in the first in-depth analysis of an industrial metropolis, nineteenth century Manchester? Or have post-industrial and neo-globalized economies given rise to new forms of urban existence in the so-called developing world? Life in the Megalopolis: Mexico City and São ...

Frailty in the Elderly
The progressive growth in the number of older adults worldwide has led to a modification of the current healthcare scenario and a parallel increase in the use of public resources. In this book, we propose a conceptual framework within which aging, frailty, and care are analyzed through the lens of complexity medicine. Therefore, we present a multidimensional perspective that takes into account biomedical, (neuro)psychological, and socio-ecological vulnerability. The theses presented are the result of an inductive approach, based on many years of experience in the field, which has made it possible to identify strategies for frailty recognition and effective responses even in complicated clinical settings. The book is intended to be a tool of concrete and easy consultation, rich in reflections and suggestions.
Letters to Gabriella
"War in Angola lasted intermittently for more than forty years. After a failed attempt at peace from 1994 to 1998 a full scale conventional war broke out again at the end of 1998. This marked the end of a United Nations attempt, lasting more than twelve years, to make peace in this country. It was one of the first big UN missions after the Cold War and turned into a spectacular and expensive failure. Throughout this last "War for Peace" from 1998-2002 the author lived and worked in Huambo, at the epicentre of the war, implementing a United Nations project. This project, poorly planned initially, was restructured locally and achieved considerable successes before finally succumbing to UN incompetence that saw two thirds of its funding disappear and degenerated into a web of lies, excuses and accusations as the UN refused to provide an explanation to donors, the Angolan government and people, project staff and the press of what went wrong and why."--Back cover.

O impacto do planeamento do sector de energia eléctrica angolano no processo de integração regional da áfrica austral
O impacto do planeamento do sector de energia eléctrica angolano no processo de integração regional da África Austral, é a estratégia que nós delineámos para que Angola, face à desestruturação da sua política macroeconómica, se insira no processo de integração na região. Na prossecução deste objectivo, após análise do sector em questão, delineámos como factor determinante deste processo a restruturação da política tarifária versus planeamento, na medida em que ela é o garante de toda a política do sector e, por conseguinte, sendo parte integrante da política macroeconómica influenciará sobre a mesma e vice-versa. Este trabalho pretende identificar como a política tarifária versus política macroeconómica joga em simultâneo para o equilíbrio interno e externo de Angola e, consequentemente, para o processo de integração regional. Palavras chaves: planeamento, sistema tarifário, financiamento e investimento, dívida pública, estabilização e integração regional.
A Teia do BANIF
Em A Teia do Banif, são reveladas histórias secretas do caso Banif através de centenas de documentos inéditos, escutas telefónicas e e-mails confidenciais — muitos deles dispersos em dezenas de volumosos inquéritos-crime. Uma viagem de 15 anos aos acordos de cavalheiros, ao tráfico de influências, aos offshores do dinheiro clandestino, às toupeiras na Polícia Judiciária e no Ministério Público, ao plano para dominar o primeiro banco português e aos bastidores das investigações judiciais portuguesas à elite política e económica angolana. Esta é a outra história de um banco maldito (e do Millennium BCP, BPI, BPA Atlântico e Eurobic e dos seus banqueiros) que terá lavado mais de 1,5 mil milhões de euros. E que acabou intervencionado e vendido pelo Estado português arrastando investidores privados e muito dinheiro público. Um caso que ainda hoje se encontra sob investigação da justiça portuguesa.
The Destruction of a Nation
In this thorough examination of US policy towards Angola from 1945 up to the present, George Wright assesses how each President from Truman to Clinton has carried out US foreign policy in general, and in Angola specifically, in a step-by-step case study that traces the dismantling of a Marxist regime by the West. Wright demonstrates the influence that policy planning organisations have in determining foreign policy and emphasizes the internal debates and struggles inherent in carrying out foreign policy. This well researched and well documented book is an invaluable critique of US intervention in a Third World state over five decades, before and after the end of the Cold War.
