Caminhos para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável
A Agenda 2030, aprovada em 2015 por todos os Estados membros da ONU, tem como objetivo principal contribuir para o alcance dos 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável - ODS, com foco na melhoria das condições de vida no planeta e enfrentamento dos desafios globais, como por exemplo as mudanças climáticas, a erradicação da pobreza, a preservação dos recursos naturais, a produção de energia limpa e acessível, o acesso à água potável e ao saneamento, entre outros. O sucesso desta Agenda dependerá do trabalho interdisciplinar de pesquisadores, cientistas e líderes que estejam à altura da tarefa. Mas também de muitos que são divulgadores desta nova oportunidade que se apre...
Caminhos para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável - perspectivas interdisciplinares
A emergência de um mundo global tecnológico e sua disseminação acelerada dá origem a mudanças ambientais significativas e cada vez mais evidentes que desafiam a compreensão do processo econômico existente como puramente positivo, levantando questões sobre se o progresso atual pode ser sustentado no futuro. Reconhecendo que a promoção da sustentabilidade é uma tarefa essencialmente global, este livro apresenta uma coleção interdisciplinar de artigos sobre o desenvolvimento sustentável, com base em uma ampla gama de assuntos, incluindo agricultura urbana, saneamento, gestão de riscos, política e governança, manejo sustentável, economia e tecnologias verdes, proporcionando um...
Caminhos para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável
A Organização das Nações Unidas prevê um crescimento da população mundial para 9,6 bilhões de pessoas no ano de 2050, muitas das quais viverão em países que já enfrentam insegurança alimentar. Esse cenário populacional traz consigo uma maior evidenciação das preocupações acerca da urgência em conciliar desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade, visto que, para alimentar tal população, a produção agrícola terá de aumentar aproximadamente em 50%, situação difícil devido aos efeitos das alterações climáticas sobre os cultivos agrícolas. Esta coletânea reúne três artigos com relevância acerca deste assunto, visto que o planejamento de culturas agrícolas devido a muda...
Feminist Global Health Security
"Global health security, focused on a firefighting short-term response efforts fail to consider the differential impacts of outbreaks on women. For example, the policy response to the Zika outbreak centred on limiting the spread of the vector through civic participation and asking women to defer pregnancy. Both actions are inherently gendered and reveal a distinct lack of consideration of the everyday lives of women. These policies placed women in a position whereby were blamed if they had a child born with Congenital Zika Syndrome, and at the same time governments required women to undertake invisible labour for vector control. What does this tell us about the role of women in global health...
The One and Only Sparkella
An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller! A Publishers Weekly Bestseller! Leading actor, producer and director Channing Tatum's picture book debut, The One and Only Sparkella is a charming ode to self-esteem and the love between a father and daughter—illustrated by Kim Barnes. Ella is excited for her first day at a new school. Glimmering pencil case? Check! Shimmering backpack? Check! Glittery ribbons in her hair? Check! She can't wait to meet the other kids and share her sparkly personality. But her first day doesn't go quite as planned: Her new classmates don't like her disco-ball shoes, her PB&J-with-sprinkles sandwich, or her rainbow-y unicorn painting. Ella decides to try to be less sparkly at school the next day so the other kids won't make fun of her. But with a little help from her dad, she soon learns the importance of just being herself, no matter what other people say.
Meshless Methods in Biomechanics
This book presents the complete formulation of a new advanced discretization meshless technique: the Natural Neighbour Radial Point Interpolation Method (NNRPIM). In addition, two of the most popular meshless methods, the EFGM and the RPIM, are fully presented. Being a truly meshless method, the major advantages of the NNRPIM over the FEM and other meshless methods, are the remeshing flexibility and the higher accuracy of the obtained variable field. Using the natural neighbour concept, the NNRPIM permits to determine organically the influence-domain, resembling the cellulae natural behaviour. This innovation permits the analysis of convex boundaries and extremely irregular meshes, which is an advantage in the biomechanical analysis, with no extra computational effort associated. This volume shows how to extend the NNRPIM to the bone tissue remodelling analysis, expecting to contribute with new numerical tools and strategies in order to permit a more efficient numerical biomechanical analysis.
Managing in a Time of Great Change
'It is not so very difficult to predict the future. It is only pointless...what is always far more important are fundamental changes that happened though no one predicted them or could possible have predicted them.' (quote taken from this book) It is these unpredictable and irreversible changes from the past, and their effect on the role of the executive which Peter Drucker examines in his latest book. The management of change is a subject which has been, undoubtedly, the principal preoccupation of management thinkers in the 1990s. Peter Drucker, the guru's guru, brings together a group of his own original essays and interviews on this vitally important topic. As ever, he provides invaluable food for thought for all executives and students of business and management.
Motherhood, Social Policies and Women's Activism in Latin America
This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship between gender, social policy and women’s activism in Latin America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America’s mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to study motherhood and maternalism—the ways in which motherhood becomes a public policy issue. As maternalism embraces and enhances gender differences, it has been criticized for deepening gender inequalities. Yet invoking motherhood continues to offer an effective strategy for advancing women’s living conditions and rights, and for women themselves to be present in the public sphere. In analyzing these important relationships, the contributors to this volume discuss maternal health, sexual and reproductive rights, labor programs, paid employment, women miners’ unionization, housing policies, environmental suffering, and LGBTQ intimate partner violence.
Obesity
This comprehensive textbook addresses one of the major public health concerns of our era – obesity. Clearly and simply, Obesity: science to practice provides a balanced, coherent account of obesity: how to define and measure it, its epidemiology, the physiological basis, associated diseases, how to assess, manage and treat it, and also strategies for prevention. The book is generously illustrated, including graphs and flow charts for easy reference. The chapters cite key references so that interested readers may pursue a given topic in more detail. Well presented and thoroughly edited by one of the leading experts in the field, this is the textbook of choice for anyone working in obesity.
Jobs and Growth
Brazil approaches its 2018 election with an economy that is gradually recovering from the deepest recession in its recent economic history. However, for many Brazilians, the recovery has not yet translated into new and better jobs, or rising incomes. This book explores the drivers of future employment and income growth. Its key finding: Brazil needs to dramatically improve its performance across all industries in terms of productivity if the country is to provide better jobs for its citizens and generate lasting gains in incomes growth for all. This is particularly important as Brazil is aging rapidly and the boost the country has enjoyed thanks to its young and growing labor force in the pa...
