As teorias do desenvolvimento ganharam grande importância política e social após a Segunda Guerra Mundial. As negociações que objetivavam o estabelecimento de organismos multilaterais, como a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), visando a consolidação de uma governança global para o novo contexto geopolítico do pós-guerra, a formulação de acordos internacionais para o crescimento do comércio internacional, sobretudo no âmbito da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC), e a fundação do Banco Mundial com vistas à reconstrução dos países devastados pelo conflito revelam que o cenário se havia tornado propício a uma espécie de compromisso global em nome da estabilidade econômica pró-crescimento.
Exploring the important role of education in both pursuing and implementing sustainable development, this timely Handbook highlights how teaching methods at schools and universities can impact the future. It looks at ways not only to inform students about matters related to sustainable development, but also to empower them to adopt behaviours and actions that lead to more sustainable lifestyles.
Food Bioconversion, Volume Two in the Handbook of Food Bioengineering series is an interdisciplinary resource of fundamental information on waste recovery and biomaterials under certain environmental conditions. The book provides information on how living organisms can be used to transform waste into compounds that can be used in food, and how specialized living cells in plants, animals and water can convert the most polluting agents into useful non-toxic products in a sustainable way. This great reference on the bioconversion of industrial waste is ideal in a time when food resources are limited and entire communities starve. - Presents extraction techniques of biological properties to enhance food's functionality, i.e. functional foods or nutraceuticals - Provides detailed information on waste material recovery issues - Compares different techniques to help advance research and develop new applications - Includes research solutions of different biological treatments to produce foods with antibiotic properties, i.e. probiotics - Explores how bioconversion technologies are essential for research outcomes to increase high quality food production

This book focuses on the biologically derived adsorbent with numerous applications in wastewater treatment, metal recovery, biosensor development, and so forth. It initiates with the description of biological sources of biosorbents followed by applications of biosorbents, biosorption isotherms, assessment of biosorbents with various tools, pretreatment of biosorbents, and its mode of action. Some less explored areas like separation of radionuclides, biosorption of volatile organic compounds, and animal-based biosorbents are also explained. Features: Focuses on fundamentals, characteristics of flora and fauna-mediated biosorbents used extensively Describes entire aspects of tools and techniques related to assessment and monitoring of biosorbents Includes adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm, and mechanism of action of biosorbents Covers advancements in pretreatment methods to enhance the adsorption process of biosorbents Reviews recent applications which include heavy metal removal, dye remediation, and separation of radionuclides and nano-biosorbents This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in bioprocess engineering, microbiology, and biotechnology.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into account specific habitat conditions and how they affect susceptibility to ROS damage. A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with respect to applicability and constraints for different types of research. The authors are all internationally recognized experts in particular fields of oxidative stress research. This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students, researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health professionals, and decision makers.
“Como implementar, de fato, o direito ao desenvolvimento no território nacional?” Essa foi a pergunta norteadora do presente livro, que nasceu com o desafio de investigar a sociedade pós-moderna com todas as suas características peculiares e complexas. Para tanto, a autora estruturou a presente pesquisa em duas partes. A primeira, dedicou-se à análise do aporte teórico da complexidade, à estruturação da globalização econômica e os impactos da mundialização cultural. Posteriormente, conduziu-se a pesquisa para o estudo do aporte legislativo de proteção à cultura. A autora defende que a hegemonia cultural global afronta a identidade cultural local, menospreza os conhecimen...
