Running waters are enormously diverse, ranging from torrential mountain brooks, to large lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy subcontinents. While this diversity makes river ecosystems seem overwhelmingly complex, a central theme of this volume is that the processes acting in running waters are general, although the settings are often unique. The past two decades have seen major advances in our knowledge of the ecology of streams and rivers. New paradigms have emerged, such as the river continuum and nutrient spiraling. Community ecologists have made impressive advances in documenting the occurrence of species interactions. The importance of physical processes in rivers...
This book, which I am pleased to preface, is divided into two parts of great relevance to contemporary feminist studies, especially to the peripheral countries of the capitalist world. In it lie essays that I divide into two categories. On the one hand, we have articles that address structural issues involving human rights and, in particular, women’s rights. These are the texts that discuss the way in which the subject of human rights, in the contexts of the regional economic communities, are inserted; there are also the texts that address the bankruptcy of the patriarchal political system regarding the political representation of women in countries like India and Brazil; and the chapter i...
Midwives are encountering more and more women whose pregnancies are complicated by medical conditions, including cardiac disease, obesity and diabetes. This new edition is completely up-to-date and offers highly practical solutions for everyday midwifery practice, acknowledging the importance of promoting normality where possible. This text includes physiology, explanations of conditions and principles of care for preconception, pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period. Each chapter brings together the basic knowledge of a condition and how it changes during pregnancy in an integrated and accessible way, including a new chapter dedicated to obesity. Explanations of laboratory tests, diagnostic tests, common drugs and illustrative colour pictures are included in relevant chapters. Medical Conditions Affecting Pregnancy and Childbirth is a vital guide for student midwives, as well as a useful reference for practising midwives.
“Estudar a influência que as normas constitucionais exercem sobre as relações privadas e, ainda, do ponto de vista das decisões proferidas pela jurisdição constitucional, é, sem dúvida, realizar a abordagem de uma temática tão ampla quanto atual. Esta tarefa foi enfrentada pelos autores que compõem a publicação, todos vinculados a programas de Mestrado e Doutorado, de diferentes instituições de ensino do País e de Angola. Nesse sentido, considerando a amplitude das relações que se inserem dentro do grande tema ‘Jurisdição Constitucional e Direitos Fundamentais nas Relações Privadas’, os capítulos que conformam a presente obra tratam de questões contemporâneas, atinentes aos direitos fundamentais, que vão desde o direito à saúde, à vida, à dignidade, incluindo a relação entre direito e moral, poderes privados e democracia. Não se descuidou, obviamente, de buscar a visão jurisprudencial dos tribunais pátrios, através da análise das decisões subjacentes aos aos temas abordados”.
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...
A timely work describing how localized hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) complements general, ‘arms-length’ HTA agency efforts, and what has been the collective global impact of HB-HTA across the globe. While HB-HTA has gained significant momentum over the past few years, expertise in the field, and information on the operation and organization of HB-HTA, has been scattered. This book serves to bring this information together to inform those who are currently working in the field of HTA at the hospital, regional, national or global level. In addition, this book is intended for decision-makers and policy-makers with a stake in determining the uptake and decommissioning ...

"O direito vem sendo desafiado pelo desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias em vários segmentos e, cientes dos desafios recentes que já se impõem à compreensão da dimensão existencial da proteção de dados pessoais, bem como a centralidade humana pela qual se compreende a extensão dessa proteção, seus desdobramentos e releituras, observamos uma significativa carência na literatura nacional quanto à análise mais específica dos temas de direito relacionados ao chamado "corpo eletrônico", delineado pelo saudoso Professor Stefano Rodotà. A referida proposta, dessumida da constatação de que os conjuntos de dados constituem projeções relacionadas à personalidade, abre margem a di...
