Mais de um ano se passou desde a publicação do volume 1 da Atlanticus: Revista do Museu EXEA, e muitas águas rolaram desde então. Este segundo volume do periódico teve um tempo de incubação mais extenso devido principalmente à condição de que o Museu EXEA teve que passar por troca de servidor, além de reformular seu site e reorganizar sua estrutura virtual, o que demandou três meses para isso.
“As Navegações no Extremo Oriental das Américas: 1850-1950”, de Ticiano Alves, desvenda a rica história do porto da Paraíba, traçando sua evolução desde os duelos franco-britânicos até o fim da era áurea dos vapores, passando pelas navegações do algodão paraibano. A obra explora a influência das transformações tecnológicas, os desafios enfrentados e as soluções encontradas para manter a operacionalidade do porto. Homenageando os trabalhadores do mar e explorando temas como as rotinas das navegações, o autor oferece uma visão abrangente das atividades portuárias, enriquecida por referências bibliográficas e imagens. Uma leitura envolvente e essencial para compreender a história atlântica e as dinâmicas econômicas e sociais da região.
A presente obra deriva dos resultados alcançados durante o curso de especialização em Geoprocessamento e Análise Ambiental, do Núcleo de Meio Ambiente da Universidade Federal do Pará e pretende apresentar uma amostra dos estudos produzidos ao final da especialização.

This title is a comprehensive survey of maritime archaeology as seen through the eyes of nearly fifty scholars at a time when maritime archaeology has established itself as a mature branch of archaeology.
This book is a long-term study of organisational capabilities as parts of early modern state formation. Sweden was a largely non-maritime society which nevertheless maintained a large navy as part of the armed forces which created a Baltic empire. Many of the resources came from the peasant society which was exploited in an entrepreneurial fashion by a highly ambitious dynasty. For a long time Sweden was organisationally more advanced than its neighbours but the empire ceased to grow and finally collapsed when other Northern powers developed strong states. The book provides detailed information about the strength of the navy in terms of warships, equipment, guns and men and it relates changes in size and structure to changes in policy.

The total of 90 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 228 submissions. The contributions are organized in the following topical section: Part I: Evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, constrains and search, combinatorial and numerical optimization; neural networks, deep learning and computer vision; and text mining and natural language processing. Part II: Agent and multi-agent systems, planning and reinforcement learning; knowledge representation, logic and fuzzy systems; machine learning and data mining; and multidisciplinary artificial and computational intelligence and applications. Due to the Corona pandemic BRACIS 2020 was held as a virtual event.
The human cost in any conflict is of course the first care in terms of the reduction, if not the elimination of damage. However, the destruction of archaeology and heritage as a consequence of civil and international wars is also of major concern, and the irreversible loss of monuments and sites through conflict has been increasingly discussed and documented in recent years. Post-Conflict Archaeology and Cultural Heritage draws together a series of papers from archaeological and heritage professionals seeking positive, pragmatic and practical ways to deal with conflict-damaged sites. For instance, by showing that conflict-damaged cultural heritage and archaeological sites are a valuable reso...
In 1872 Yellowstone was established as a National Park. The name caught the public’s imagination and by the close of the century, other National Parks had been declared, not only in the USA, but also in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Yet as it has spread, the concept has evolved and diversified. In the absence of any international controlling body, individual countries have been free to adapt the concept for their own physical, social and economic environments. Some have established national parks to protect scenery, others to protect ecosystems or wildlife. Tourism has also been a fundamental component of the national parks concept from the beginning and predates ecological justifica...
Collaboration among industry, universities and research institutes plays a vital role in stimulating open innovation, which in turn leads to new products, processes, services and business models. This book brings together a number of real-life examples of how to govern and manage open innovation collaboration projects more effectively, and provides timely insights that project consortia, governance boards and funding agencies can directly apply to implement and monitor projects and achieve greater impacts. All papers were written by recognized leading authorities with extensive experience in governance and management, and reveal how to capitalize on the potential of open innovation. This book shares multidisciplinary research perspectives on the potential benefits and challenges of collaboration, project management, and open innovation, as well as the management of complex organizational cultures and governance models.
