Governing the Crisis: Law, Human Rights and COVID-19 is a collection of essays by an interdisciplinary group of experts from around the world who look at different human rights issues which have emerged as relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. The topics cover a range of issues in different countries, for example, tracing apps, digitalization, privacy, priority setting in health care, refugees, cruise ships or risks faced by children. Other chapters investigate the specific government responses in a number of countries. In addition, topics of wider legal interest are investigated, such as the role of constitutional courts, federalism and the concept of the state of emergency.

A presente obra surge com o objetivo de trazer as linhas essenciais do processo civil no que diz respeito aos instrumentos de controle das decisões. Com acuidade técnica e sempre voltado à prática e à jurisprudência mais recente dos Tribunais Superiores, é utilizada uma linguagem moderna e comprometida com a teoria do direito e com os princípios basilares do Estado Democrático de Direito. O sistema recursal e as ações autônomas de impugnação das decisões contidas no Código de Processo Civil foram tratadas à luz da teoria e da prática forense, com atenção às principais orientações do STJ e do STF, com intenção de contribuir tanto com estudantes de graduação e especialização em formação, como com profissionais que enfrentam em seu dia a dia o sistema recursal cível nos juízos e tribunais.
A expressão medievalismo se refere a um segmento da História que se dedica ao estudo de usos, costumes e cultura da Idade Média para neles identificar elementos e características que ainda são utilizados na Idade Contemporânea.
A sociedade contemporânea atravessa um momento de animosidade nas relações intersubjetivas, no qual há uma crise democrática e uma crise de confiança no próprio princípio republicano. Diariamente se vem manifestações antidemocráticas e contrárias às instituições estabelecidas, bem como há uma crise de diálogo entre as próprias instituições nacionais. Não se descuida também que existe um comprometimento das relações internacionais, marcada por posturas nacionalistas. Desta forma, surge a questão de qual o papel jurídico nessa conjuntura, ou seja, como o Direito, no plano legislativo, jurisprudencial e doutrinário, pode atuar de maneira a focalizar como baliza axiológica a tolerância e a fraternidade, em benefício dos princípios constitucionais da harmonia social, da liberdade, da igualdade, do desenvolvimento, da erradicação de desigualdade e marginalizações e resolução pacífica das controvérsias.
Earthman Roy Crawford is framed for murder on the planet Velliran. He has two choices. He must escape from the planet within three days or go to prison for life. But the only spaceship leaving the planet within three days belongs to the Exploration Corps. This is a group of scientists which investigates new planets. They are about to leave for World Seven on the Star System Z-16. With help from his friends, the dazed Crawford finds himself in the ship. The scientists, of course, think he is one of them. But World Seven is no escape for Roy. It is a planet of death. The team of scientists find themselves in a world where even the trees are killers. And one more killer is on the spaceship - the real murderer who framed Crawford!
This is a major new work dedicated to the increasingly prominent area of adult orthodontics. Written by renowned contributors from the orthodontic community and beyond, and compiled by a world-class editor, it provides an authoritative resource on the subject, marrying together clinical guidance with a thorough evaluation of the evidence base. The opening chapters provide the context for adult orthodontics, including patient demographics and aetiology, and the book goes on to detail treatment planning considerations, including patient case profiles, suggesting initial outcomes and longer term expectations. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are discussed, including the links ...
Together with early theoretical work in population genetics, the debate on sources of genetic makeup initiated by proponents of the neutral theory made a solid contribution to the spectacular growth in statistical methodologies for molecular evolution. Evolutionary Genomics: Statistical and Computational Methods is intended to bring together the more recent developments in the statistical methodology and the challenges that followed as a result of rapidly improving sequencing technologies. Presented by top scientists from a variety of disciplines, the collection includes a wide spectrum of articles encompassing theoretical works and hands-on tutorials, as well as many reviews with key biolog...
Vivemos tempos difíceis, em uma sociedade complexa e permeada por problemas exponenciais agravados pelo advento da pandemia da Covid-19. No Brasil, observamos um aprofundamento das desigualdades econômicas, sociais, de gênero, de raça e de acesso aos bens socialmente produzidos. É uma época que exige coerência, determinação e luta para não permitir que o negacionismo, o obscurantismo e as ideias retrógradas avancem contra os direitos e as garantias tão duramente conquistados. A partir de diferentes abordagens, o livro pretende contribuir com os debates, os estudos e as reflexões a respeito das dificuldades vivenciadas em um momento de excepcionalidade causado pela grave crise pa...
Local or autochthonous pig breeds represent a pool of genetic diversity of porcine species and a link with old-style traditional production systems and traditional pork products. These breeds were largely abandoned because they were not competitive in the concept of modern, industrial type of pig production. Despite an increased interest for local pig breeds in the past years, they remain largely untapped and the knowledge about their characteristics is limited, which was a challenge undertook in the project TREASURE in the frame of multicriteria evaluation of local pig breeds. The book represents a valuable compendium of data on census, breeding organisations, production systems, and performances with ambition to present their contemporary (preserved) phenotype. This work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 634476 for project with acronym TREASURE.
