O livro traz uma abordagem sobre o processo de conversão de Mariana em cidade-patrimônio no período entre 1938 e 1967, convencionalmente chamado de "fase heroica" do Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). A partir do mapeamento e da análise das relações entre os agentes do Estado incumbidos de operacionalizar a proteção do patrimônio cultural da cidade e seus habitantes, o livro tem o objetivo de olhar sincronicamente tanto para as medidas de preservação e conservação do espaço urbano quanto para os processos que provocaram a transformação da cidade, evidenciando-se, dessa forma, as tensões entre valores culturais e econômicos e entre tradição e modernidade na complexa realidade da cidade brasileira.
One of three independent but coordinated studies on Brazilian regionalism, this book examines the complex dynamics of state-level and political structures in the politically important state of Minas Gerais.
The two-volume set LNAI 13653 and 13654 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2022, which took place in Campinas, Brazil, in November/December 2022. The 89 papers presented in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 225 submissions. The conference deals with theoretical aspects and applications of artificial and computational intelligence.
We are delighted to announce a thematic issue focused on the molecular epidemiology of pathogens and vectors of disease. In the last decades, genomics has revolutionized many areas of science, technology, and health by enlightening our understanding of the intricate molecular biology of pathogens and vectors. Despite these advances viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic pathogens still cause huge economic and health losses around the world. Moreover, there is compelling evidence of an expansion of their impact linked to global warming, anthropogenic activities and/or limitations in control strategies. Vectored pathogens are also highly relevant, causing diseases with severe morbidity and mortality such as malaria, dengue fever and schistosomiasis. The expanding geographical reach of vectors due to adaptation and/or climate change is leading to outbreaks in previously unaffected areas. Substantial challenges remain to track and trace pathogens and vectors through molecular signatures in order to understand their impact to human and animal health in different environments.

This book reports on the latest research and developments in Biomedical Engineering, with a special emphasis on topics of interest and findings achieved in Latin America. This first volume of a 4-volume set covers advances in biomedical image and signal processing, biomedical optics, and wearable and assistive medical devices. Throughout the book, a special emphasis is given to low-cost technologies and to their development for and applications in clinical settings. Based on the IX Latin American Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CLAIB 2022) and the XXVIII Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering (CBEB 2022), held jointly, and virtually on October 24-28, 2022, from Florianópolis, Brazil, this book provides researchers and professionals in the biomedical engineering field with extensive information on new technologies and current challenges for their clinical applications. .
