A construção do Pacaembu
" A construção do Pacaembu investiga a história do surgimento de um dos maiores estádio do Brasil em 1936, planejado num contexto de grande desenvolvimento da capital do estado, que cristalizou a imagem do progresso e da inovação, alicerçada numa estrutura comercial e industrial cada vez mais importante. A construção do Estádio Municipal do Pacaembu sintetizou uma época de sedimentação do futebol popular, sua construção foi produto de um contexto de reformulação urbana e arquitetônica, marcado pelo espírito de servir ao desenvolvimento de uma ordem industrial, que buscava com exaustão beneficiar a acumulação do capital. Para o poder público paulista, grande incentivado...
The Press and Democratic Backsliding
This edited volume explores the democratic dangers posed by a political press that emphasizes electoral competition, strategy, entertainment, and what Jay Rosen calls “savviness”—praising candidates for being politically smart rather than being honest—in its coverage of a political landscape dominated by a looming authoritarian threat. Contributors document how the American and global political press have failed to fulfill their role in elections and demonstrate how authoritarians have used and will continue to use their power in setting policy before going on to suggest and develop solutions to these problems. These proposed solutions include the adoption of democracy-focused framing, solutions journalism, and solidarity journalism, all of which emphasize the needs and issues of democratic communities over candidates’ political strategy. The book’s recommendations contribute to a reorientation of journalism toward democracy and truth rather than performative detachment and forced balance. Scholars of journalism, mass media, communication, and political science will find this collection to be of particular use.
Parallel Computing Technologies
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies, PaCT 2005, held in Krasnoyarsk, Russia in September 2005. The 38 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on theory, fine-grain parallelism, software, tools, and applications. A broad variety of parallel processing issues and distributed computing in general are addressed as well.
Trade and Environmental Law
This extensive volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law probes the essential concepts, contemporary research, and key elements of law at the intersection of international trade and international environmental law. Its succinct, structured entries provide a definitive and comprehensive assessment of the interactions between these fields, written by internationally renowned and recognized experts.
Principles and Applications of Algorithmic Problem Solving
Algorithmic problem solving provides a radically new way of approaching and solving problems in general by using the advances that have been made in the basic principles of correct-by-construction algorithm design. The aim of this thesis is to provide educational material that shows how these advances can be used to support the teaching of mathematics and computing. We rewrite material on elementary number theory and we show how the focus on the algorithmic content of the theory allows the systematisation of existing proofs and, more importantly, the construction of new knowledge in a practical and elegant way. For example, based on Euclid's algorithm, we derive a new and efficient algorithm...
Knowledge Spillover-based Strategic Entrepreneurship
This book is about the role of knowledge spillovers and strategic entrepreneurship in the management context. It focuses on how knowledge spillovers and strategic entrepreneurship are crucial to the process of creative destruction and construction. The book aims to provide insights into and discussion on how firms combine entrepreneurial action that creates new opportunities for industries, regions and economies. This book is first of its kind to link knowledge management perspectives to strategic entrepreneurship to understand the co-creation process. Being interdisciplinary in nature, this book appeals to entrepreneurship and knowledge management scholars, students and practitioners.
Technological Innovation for Smart Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2017, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in May 2017. The 46 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. The papers present selected results produced in engineering doctoral programs and focus on technological innovation for smart systems. Research results and ongoing work are presented, illustrated and discussed in the following areas: collaborative networks, computational intelligence, systems analysis, smart manufacturing systems, smart sensorial systems, embedded and real time systems, energy: management, energy: optimization, distributed infrastructure, solar energy, electrical machines, power electronics, and electronics.
Engineering Geology for Society and Territory - Volume 6
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of applied geology, which is a critical theme for the global economy. In the international, multidisciplinary approach to major engineering projects (either to macro- or mega-scale), the application of geological investigation techniques is fundamental for properly selecting the location sites, planning the construction and maintaining the infrastructures. The contributions in this book include not only engineering constructions but also case studies related to large projects on geo-resources exploration and extraction (minerals, petroleum and groundwater), energy production (hydropower, geothermal, nuclear and oth...
