SOBRE A OBRA A presente obra coletiva é resultante do Grupo de Estudos em Direitos Humanos, Ética e Inteligência Artificial (IA) realizado pelo Laboratório de Direitos Humanos (LabDH), com o objetivo de promover investigação em temas atinentes à aplicação dos Direitos Humanos nas tecnologias à base de IA. Estabelecido em 2012 na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, o LabDH tem suas ações de pesquisa estruturadas por meio de três linhas, a saber: "Direitos Humanos, Empresa e Sustentabilidade"; "Direitos Humanos, Tecnologia e Inovação"; e, "Direitos Humanos, Cidadania e Desenvolvimento". Voltando-se aos novos desafios impostos aos direitos humanos, essa o...
Paulo Coelho: A Warrior's Life is the first-ever biography of the man whose books have sold an astounding 100 million copies worldwide, making him one of the bestselling authors of all time. Paulo Coelho's life begins with a complicated birth in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 1947. He was known as the "boy who was born dead" and who ultimately survived against all odds. Before he became internationally known as a worldwide bestselling author, Paulo lived many different lives. He flirted with suicide, was committed by his parents to insane asylums, suffered the brutality of electric shock therapy, dove into drugs, tried several varieties of sex, met the devil, spent time in prison, helped ...
Jogos são fantásticos. Sua estrutura e mecânica têm encantado sociedades há centenas de anos. Em razão da capacidade dos jogos de envolver o ser humano na dinâmica proposta, eles têm deixado os espaços de lazer para enveredar nas áreas mais sérias do cotidiano. Hoje é fácil encontrar elementos de jogos no contexto da aprendizagem, saúde ou no mercado de consumo. Em qualquer espaço que se pretenda motivar um indivíduo a alcançar sua melhor performance, é possível se valer de jogos ou de itens deles para criar instrumentos de engajamento. É nesse contexto que surge a teoria da gamificação e é valendo-se dela que essa obra pretende analisá-la em meio ao ambiente de trabalho. Mais do que olhar o jogo inserido na relação de emprego, o livro pretende estimular o leitor a compreender os efeitos dessa prática e convidá-lo a caminhar com a autora em vistas da melhor aplicação dessa ferramenta fantástica no ambiente de trabalho.
Essays, conversations, and archival investigations explore the paradoxes, limitations, and social ramifications of trans representation within contemporary culture. The increasing representation of trans identity throughout art and popular culture in recent years has been nothing if not paradoxical. Trans visibility is touted as a sign of a liberal society, but it has coincided with a political moment marked both by heightened violence against trans people (especially trans women of color) and by the suppression of trans rights under civil law. Trap Door grapples with these contradictions. The essays, conversations, and dossiers gathered here delve into themes as wide-ranging yet interconnec...
The combination of readily available computing power and progress in numerical techniques has made nonlinear systems - the kind that only a few years ago were ignored as too complex - open to analysis for the first time. Now realistic models of living systems incorporating the nonlinear variation and anisotropic nature of physical properties can be solved numerically on modern computers to give realistically usable results. This has opened up new and exciting possibilities for the fusing of ideas from physiology and engineering in the burgeoning new field that is biomechanics. Computational Biomechanics presents pioneering work focusing on the areas of orthopedic and circulatory mechanics, using experimental results to confirm or improve the relevant mathematical models and parameters. Together with two companion volumes, Biomechanics: Functional Adaptation and Remodeling and the Data Book on Mechanical Properties of Living Cells, Tissues, and Organs, this monograph will prove invaluable to those working in fields ranging from medical science and clinical medicine to biomedical engineering and applied mechanics.

This book fills an essential gap in the existing literature by analyzing fraud, and the weakening of ethical relations as parts of an overall global process, in an interdisciplinary, international and multidimensional perspective. It provides an in-depth analysis of fraud in its multiple facets, including financial fraud (most notably related to banking), fiscal/tax fraud (tax compliance and the role of government in the process), and academic fraud (exams misconduct and plagiarism). It also presents a set of methods and empirical evidence on the prevention and combating of fraud in distinct settings, such as money laundering, fraudulent investments schemes, and public procurement mismanagement, and economies, including Brazil, Canada, France, and Portugal.
