O livro Contextos de vulnerabilidade e resiliência no desenvolvimento humano é produto do trabalho realizado por um grupo de pesquisadores que investigam o desenvolvimento humano em diferentes regiões do Brasil (Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste e Sudeste). Esse fato permite a compreensão da vulnerabilidade e da resiliência sem perder de vista as suas peculiaridades. A despeito da força das evidências empíricas brasileiras que marcam a presente obra, é importante ressaltar que essas foram geradas por grupos de trabalho que mantêm constante diálogo com pesquisadores que atuam em países como Portugal e Alemanha. Se, por um lado, essa amplitude revela as associações dos autores da obr...
As novas tecnologias estão transformando a sociedade, a economia e as empresas. O ser humano, mais do que nunca, é o protagonista dessa transformação, que emprega a magia da tecnologia para viabilizar essa mudança. Esse período chamado de Quarta Revolução Industrial que estamos vivendo traz inúmeras oportunidades e ameaças. E para área de Recursos Humanos, os novos desafios nesse contexto. Os alunos do terceiro ano do curso de Administração da FIAP foram desafiados a refletir sobre o tema, observando a gestão de pessoas na área da tecnologia e dos negócios digitais. O objetivo é trazer o olhar desses estudantes que estão na graduação, e atuando em empresas como estagiári...
This Special Issue Book entitled "Lamiaceae Species: Biology, Ecology and Practical Uses" contributes to the knowledge of selected Lamiaceae species from several perspectives, such as diversity and phytogeography, taxonomy, ethnobotany, and quantitative and qualitative composition, as well as the biological activity of secondary metabolites.
“The charisma of these huge, Amazonian ‘river people’ burns through even the most factual descriptions, emphasized by an abundance of photographs.” —BBC Wildlife The aptly named giant otter is exceptionally well adapted to life in rivers, lakes and wetlands in tropical South America. Known in Spanish as lobo del rio or ‘river wolf,’ it can be as long as a human is tall and is the most social of the world’s thirteen otter species. Each individual is identifiable from birth by its pale throat pattern, as unique as your fingerprint. Giant otters are top carnivores of the Amazon rainforest and have little to fear . . . except man. There are many reasons why scientists and tourist...
Active botanical ingredients are a prime requirement for herbal formulations and discovering a drug is all about integration of science disciplines. In recent decades there has been a growing interest in treating wounds and diseases using traditional remedies based on local herbs, combined with chemical advances. Although this has led to the development of new bioactive ingredients from plants, there has been little success in terms of clinical trials and post-marketing studies to comply with FDA guidelines. Plants have been used as a source of medicine throughout history and continue to serve as the basis for many pharmaceuticals used today. However, despite the modern pharmaceutical indust...
The first book of its kind, Environmental Electrochemistry considers the role that electrochemical science and engineering can play in environmental remediation, pollution targeting, and pollutant recycling. Electrochemical-based sensors and abatement technologies for the detection, quantification, and treatment of environmental pollutants are described. Each chapter includes an extensive listing of supplemental readings, with illustrations throughout the bookto clarify principles and approaches detailed in the text. The first book to review electro- and photoelectrochemical technologies for environmental remediation, pollution sensors and pollutant recycling Applicable to a broad audience of environmental scientists and practicing electrochemists Includes both laboratory concepts and practical applications
Application of compressed gases as solvents has found widespread interest within the scientific community. Its processes have industrial applications. Gas Extraction deals with the possibilities of supercritical gases as solvents for separation processes. The volume combines physico-chemical aspects with chemical engineering methods. The text generalizes as far as possible, and treats examples in detail. Gas Extraction covers, for the first time, the subject in textbook form. Most of the examples provide new results that will be helpful for practicing scientists, engineers, and students who want to make use of the techniques.
The fungal kingdom consists of a wide variety of organisms with a diverse range of forms and functions. Fungi have been utilized for thousands of years and their importance in agriculture, medicine, food production and the environmental sciences is well known. New advances in genomic and metabolomic technologies have allowed further developments in the use of fungi in industry and medicine, increasing the need for a compilation of new applications, developments and technologies across the mycological field. Applied Mycology brings together a range of contributions, highlighting the diverse nature of current research. Chapters include discussions of fungal associations in the environment, agriculture and forestry, long established and novel applications of fungi in fermentation, the use of fungi in the pharmaceutical industry, the growing recognition of fungal infections, current interests in the use fungal enzymes in biotechnology and the new and emerging field of myconanotechnology. Demonstrating the broad coverage and importance of mycological research, this book will be of interest to researchers and students in all biological sciences.
The use of nuts and seeds to improve human nutritional status has proven successful for a variety of conditions including in the treatment of high cholesterol, reduced risk of Type-2 Diabetes, and weight control. Nuts and Seeds in Health and Disease Prevention is a complete guide to the health benefits of nuts and seeds. This book is the only single-source scientific reference to explore the specific factors that contribute to these potential health benefits, as well as discussing how to maximize those potential benefits. - Organized by seed-type with detailed information on the specific health benefits of each to provide an easy-access reference for identifying treatment options - Insights into health benefits will assist in development of symptom-specific functional foods - Includes photographs for visual identification and confirmation - Indexed alphabetically by nut/seed with a second index by condition or disease
