When used effectively, knowledge sharing and organizational success are significantly increased, improving products and services. The Role of Knowledge Transfer in Open Innovation is a collection of innovative research on a set of analyses, reflections, and recommendations within the framework of knowledge transfer practices in different areas of knowledge and in various industries. While highlighting topics including tacit knowledge, organizational culture, and knowledge representation, this book is ideally designed for professionals, academicians, and researchers seeking current research on the best practices for transfer of knowledge as an intermediate open innovation.
This is a compilation of contributions to the study of the Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente (1465–1536) which appeared between 2005 and 2015. Entries are grouped under three main headings: Editions and Adaptations, Translations, and Critical Studies. The scholarly interest in the father of the Portuguese theater continues unabated, as it can be seen in the great numbers of scholarly works, both editorial and critical, which appeared in the decade under question. The modest aim of this work is to alert scholars as to which of Gil Vicente’s works have not received adequate critical attention. New names are constantly added to the list of established vicentistas and new ways of looking at the dramatist’s works are introduced.
This book offers a theoretically driven, empirically grounded survey of the role visual communication plays in political culture, enabling a better understanding of the significance and impact visuals can have as tools of political communication. The advent of new media technologies have created new ways of producing, disseminating and consuming visual communication, the book hence explores the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of visual political communication in the digital age, and how visual communication is employed in a number of key settings. The book is intended as a specialist reading and teaching resource for courses on media, politics, citizenship, activism, social movements, public policy, and communication.

“Busca-se, nesta edição virtual, tornar “O Brasil e o mar no século XXI – Relatório aos Tomadores de Decisão do País” uma publicação viva, atualizada a intervalos que, em princípio, não deverão exceder dois anos. Como já indicado, ainda estão presentes as grandes dificuldades encontradas para concretizar-se a segunda edição, o que só foi possível, 14 anos após a primeira vir a lume, em 1998. Tal propósito é julgado tão importante para o Cembra que, já na sua terceira Assembléia Geral, ao início do ano de 2011, foi aprovado, como segundo Projeto Estruturante, justamente a “Manutenção atualizada, em edição virtual, da publicação ‘O Bra-sil e o mar [ ... ]’”.” Trecho de: CEMBRA. “O Brasil e o Mar Século XXI.” iBooks.

Compartilhar contextos com desafios locais e internacionais possibilita impulsionar o empoderamento de comunidades socialmente marginalizadas, economicamente vulneráveis e muitas vezes silenciadas, estejam elas localizadas no Norte ou no Sul global, o que se configura em um convite para ampliar os horizontes e os conhecimentos sobre o fenômeno educativo ao redor do mundo, aspectos que delineiam seu diferencial. Nessa seara, a coletânea Educação em perspectiva: contextos políticos, linguísticos e culturais é um esforço coletivo visando à reflexão sobre estudos e pesquisas em educação, nas suas mais variadas dimensões, tanto no âmbito escolar quanto no ensino superior, envolvendo pesquisadores de diferentes países, como Brasil, França e Suíça. É direcionada a estudantes do ensino superior, pesquisadores e demais interessados, contribuindo com o aprofundamento das discussões sobre educação em cenários culturais, linguísticos e políticos e suas manifestações no Brasil e para além do Atlântico.
Lasers have become an increasingly useful tool in conventional dental practice. Their precision and less invasive quality make them an attractive technology in esthetic and pediatric dentistry, oral medicine, and a range of other dental procedures. Lasers in Dentistry: Guide for Clinical Practice is a comprehensive, yet concise and easy-to-use guide to integrating lasers into conventional clinical practice. The book begins by providing the reader a thorough understanding of how lasers work and their varied effects on oral tissues. Subsequent chapters are organized by procedure type, illustrating common clinical techniques with step-by-step illustrations and case examples. In addition, each chapter provides an overview of the latest research for use in clinical practice. More comprehensive than at atlas yet practical and clinically oriented in its approach, Lasers in Dentistry is an essential tool for practitioners and students looking to broader their skill set in laser dentistry.
