Nutrition and Quality of Life in the Elderly
The WHO estimates that by 2050, 30% of the world's population will be elderly. The increased life expectancy of the population coupled with falling fertility contributes to this scenario in many countries. Although the life expectancy of the population has increased, the recurring concern is to ensure the quality of life of this group. Some diseases are directly associated with the aging process, such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis. On the other hand, chronic degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer, are associated with long-term inadequate health habits and, therefore, are more prevalent in the elderly. Among the factors that contribute to a lifestyle that influences the onset of these diseases, we can highlight sedentarism and poor diet quality.
The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Fome hedônica, depressão e Terapia cognitivo-comportamental
No Brasil, mais da metade dos adultos estão com excesso de massa corporal, e mais de 20% com obesidade. Existem fortes evidências do ambiente obesogênico na contribuição do aumento dessa pandemia. O estilo de vida moderno colabora para o sedentarismo, depressão e compulsão alimentar, que estão amplamente associados à baixa qualidade de vida. A terapia interdisciplinar tem sido considerada um tratamento eficaz para obesidade, e os aspectos cognitivos estão ganhando cada vez mais atenção nesse contexto. Os objetivos desta tese foram: analisar e comparar os efeitos de três programas: Educação e Saúde (ES); Exercício Físico (EF); Terapia Interdisciplinar com Terapia cognitivo-c...
Doing Business in 2006
This publication is the third in a series of annual reports giving a comparative analysis of business regulations and their enforcement across 155 countries and over time. Comparable data indicators are given for 10 topics: starting a business, dealing with licences, hiring and firing workers, registering property, getting credit, investment protection, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and closing a business. These indicators are used to assess socio-economic outcomes including levels of unemployment and poverty, productivity, investment and corruption; and to identify which regulatory measures enhance business activity and those that work to constrain it. This is a co-publication of the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation.
