Today's international trade is radically more complex. The revolution in information and communication technologies fostered an internationalisation of supply chains which created a nexus between trade, investment, and services which is at the heart of so much of today's international commerce. The degree of recent change has created an uncertainty that now demands new global trade systems - a new set of rules for the new environment. This book tackles some of the unresolved issues in international trade that will continue to press into the next decades. Covering an array of topics critical to today's scholar, economic policy designer and business leader, the book International Trade from Economic and Policy Perspective is comprised of four sections: International Trade Theories, Trade Patterns, Government Policies and International Trade, and Business Perspective of International Trade.
This volume throws light on the Sick Building Syndrome in Libraries and other public buildings, and the extent to which it is influenced by the internal environment of libraries. One of the signs of this disease is that the person suffers from a set of symptoms closely related to his/her presence in the building, without the identification of any clear causes, and his/her relief of these symptoms when he/she are out of the building. Hence, the book sheds on the extent to which the interior environment impacts upon the health of the people, and the extent to which this is reflected in their performance. The book can be used for teaching, research, and professional reference. It concludes with the recommendation that is essential to observe environmental dimensions when designing library and public buildings, taking into consideration the expected impact of SBS in library and public buildings on people. The significance of the book derives from the fact that it is the first of its kind to examine the issue of the interior environment and SBS of library and public building worldwide.

Para avaliar sintomas respiratórios alérgicos e analisar os fatores de risco associados, foi realizado um estudo de prevalência entre 286 funcionários de escritórios com condicionamento central do ar. Conjuntamente com a temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, foram determinadas a exposição a fungos, ácaros, baratas, pêlo de cão e gato. Verificou-se uma exposição alergênica baixa, e que indivíduos trabalhando em lugares com sistemas de condicionamento de ar com mais de 20 anos de uso, mostraram uma estimativa de risco maior para desenvolver sintomas respiratórios alérgicos. Estes locais apresentaram-se com temperatura e umidade relativa do ar mais baixas.
Neste livro se elucidam perguntas muito relevantes para o entendimento dos riscos provenientes do manejo dos resíduos sólidos. O autor se, Marcos Mol, se apropria de novas abordagens para além da engenharia sanitária, agregando elementos da epidemiologia, do campo da saúde do trabalhador, da infectologia e das ciências sociais, na busca por responder questões de pesquisa relacionadas ao risco de infecção dos trabalhadores na coleta de resíduos de serviços de saúde e de resíduos sólidos domiciliares no município de Belo Horizonte/MG. Assim, o trabalho aqui apresentado beneficia-se também de uma fecundação interinstitucional, assimilando culturas científicas diferentes, e ganhando em densidade e em diversidade de visões.
Hazim Awbi's Ventilation of Buildings has become established as the definitive text on the subject. This new, thoroughly revised, edition builds on the basic principles of the original text drawing in the results of considerable new research in the field. A new chapter on natural ventilation is also added and recent developments in ventilation concepts and room air distribution are also considered. The text is intended for the practitioner in the building services industry, the architect, the postgraduate student undertaking courses or research in HVAC, building services engineering, or building environmental engineering, and the undergraduate studying building services as a major subject. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the basic principles of fluid flow and heat transfer and some of the material requires more advanced knowledge of partial differential equations which describe the turbulent flow and heat transfer processes of fluids. The book is both a presentation of the practical issues that are needed for modern ventilation system design and a survey of recent developments in the subject
Reflecting the increasing interest in fertility management for pediatric and adolescent patients and fulfilling an urgent need to have a comprehensive guide to the management of these individuals, this is the first book of its kind to present a comprehensive discussion of pediatric and adolescent oncofertility. It carefully examines the impact of pediatric cancer and cancer therapy on fertility and presents both current and emerging fertility preservation techniques for both males and females, such as cryopreservation. Fertility concerns beyond cancer are also discussed, including disorders of sexual differentiation, gender dysphoria and thalassemia. Practical chapters on pediatric oncoferti...
