A obra foi proposta em razão do meteórico aumento das ações de erro médico, ao ponto de já estar sendo considerado um problema de saúde pública. Esse fato denuncia o afastamento da ética da relação médico-paciente e aponta para um dos mais deploráveis dramas decorrentes da violação da cidadania, notadamente no que concerne aos sacrossantos direitos à vida e à saúde. Os autores procuram demonstrar que as pessoas, para além de terem seus direitos lesados por profissionais da área da saúde que violam a sacralidade humana inobservando os princípios éticos e as normas técnicas, são também, surpreendentemente, "(pluri)vitimizadas", vale dizer – atingidas pluralmente em seus direitos fundamentais –, pelo próprio Poder Judiciário do qual aspiravam receber justiça e absoluta proteção.
No contexto em que sentimentos de angústia, impotência e lamento invadem milhares de corações humanos, eminentes juristas e pesquisadores se uniram para a construção da presente obra coletiva intitulada "Coronavírus: direitos dos cidadãos e acesso à justiça", que contempla a análise de aspectos dogmáticos e pragmáticos de notórias e relevantes implicações da pandemia covid-19 na seara jurídica, sobretudo com ênfase nos direitos dos cidadãos. A trágica pandemia da covid-19, outrora inimaginável, impactou a vida das pessoas em todo o planeta causando medo e sofrimento; a súbita destruição de famílias, destinos e sonhos gerou registros negativamente inolvidáveis na his...
A study of the Supreme Court under the leadership of Chief Justice Earl Warren, from 1953 to 1969, discussing the impact of the liberal court's civil rights and civil liberties decisions on American constitutional law.
This book, originally published in 1987, is a socio-cultural analysis of a tropical belle epoque: Rio de Janeiro between 1898 and 1914. It relates how the city's elite evolved from the semi-rural, slave-owning patriarchy of the coffee-port seat of a monarchy into an urbane, professional, rentier upper crust dominating the centre of a 'modernising' oligarchical republic. It explores such varied topics as architecture, literature, prostitution, urban reform, the family, secondary schools, and the salon. It evokes a milieu increasingly marked by Europe, demonstrating how French and English culture permeated the lives of elite members who adapted it to their needs and perspectives as a dominant stratum of relatively recent and varied origin. This exploration of cultural 'dependency' in a unique, cosmopolitan, fin-de-siecle urban culture will also interest those concerned with the broader questions of culture and colonialism during the high tide of European imperialism.

Of all the advances in agriculture, it is the use of nitrogen fertilizers that has provided the greatest increase in crop yield. The study of nitrogen metabolism is thus of vital importance. Additionally, because nitrogen is a constituent of such a wide range of plant metabolites, the study of their chemistry and biochemistry engages the attention of many plant scientists. This book covers recent developments in this field. Topics include the study of root nodules; the uptake, assimilation, and transport of ammonium and nitrate; amino acid metabolism; the distribution and synthesis of seed proteins; and recent research on polyamines, cyanogenic glycosides, and alkaloids. There are also chapters on denitrification and the impact of nitrogen on agricultural productivity and the environment. With contributions from international experts, this volume will interest all plant physiologists and phytochemists as well as biochemists interested in the behavior of nitrogen compounds.

Arbitrating cross-border business disputes has been common practice in Italy since centuries. It is no wonder, then, that Italian arbitration law and jurisprudence are ample and sophisticated. Italian courts have already rendered thousands of judgments addressing complex problems hidden in the regulation of arbitration. Italian jurists have been among the outstanding members of the international arbitration community, starting from when back in 1958, Professor Eugenio Minoli was among the promoters of the New York Convention. Being Italy the third-largest economy in the European Union and the eighth-largest economy by nominal GDP in the world, it also comes as no surprise that Italian compan...
Over the past decade, ecologists have increasingly embraced phylogenetics, the study of evolutionary relationships among species. As a result, they have come to discover the field’s power to illuminate present ecological patterns and processes. Ecologists are now investigating whether phylogenetic diversity is a better measure of ecosystem health than more traditional metrics like species diversity, whether it can predict the future structure and function of communities and ecosystems, and whether conservationists might prioritize it when formulating conservation plans. In Phylogenetic Ecology, Nathan G. Swenson synthesizes this nascent field’s major conceptual, methodological, and empirical developments to provide students and practicing ecologists with a foundational overview. Along the way, he highlights those realms of phylogenetic ecology that will likely increase in relevance—such as the burgeoning subfield of phylogenomics—and shows how ecologists might lean on these new perspectives to inform their research programs.
