Este livro, apesar de ter sido composto em um momento tardio da pandemia de covid-19 que nos atinge desde 2020, ainda apresenta sua influência. Entendemos que a educação e seus métodos não são estáticos, basta voltar nossos olhos às teorias de ensino e aprendizagem ao longo do tempo. Sendo assim, e tendo em mente a reviravolta pandêmica que todos experienciamos, a mudança e evolução contínua não param e são representadas nos escritos aqui dispostos.
Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly affected by globalization and internationalization, with implications for language use, teaching and learning in their academic communities. As a consequence, HEIs may change their approach to multilingualism on campus, taking into account language needs as well as opportunities and challenges associated with language diversity. The book aims at discussing aspects for the design of language policies, which could support internationalization and promote multilingualism and participation of different stakeholders. By presenting a language policy model, the book provides an alternative for those engaged in language diversity in HEIs.
Esta obra problematiza os contextos emergentes, a singularidade das docências e do desenvolvimento profissional com base em seus diversos cenários. A docência possui muitas interfaces, o que exige ações reflexivas e transformadoras sobre as práticas educativas perante os novos cenários, que emergem como desafios e enfrentamentos à Educação do século XXI. Almejamos produzir um espaço de reflexão e resistência, capaz de qualificar práticas educativas, com ações cada vez mais conscientes, críticas e politizadas, favorecendo assim a tomada de decisões competentes em suas múltiplas áreas e seus campos de conhecimento. Logo, é imprescindível assumir uma perspectiva intercultural contextualizada e abrangente dos processos educacionais, apostando em movimentos emancipatórios e mais humanizados para a Educação deste milênio.

Organization Theory offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the study of organizations and organizing processes. It encourages an even-handed appreciation of the main perspectives defining our knowledge of organizations and challenges readers to broaden their intellectual reach. Organization Theory is presented in three parts: Part I introduces the reader to theorizing using the multi-perspective approach. Part II presents different core concepts useful for analysing and understanding organizations - as entities within an environment, as social structures, technologies, cultures and physical structures, and as the products of power and political processes. Part III explores applications of organization theory to the practical matters of organizational design and change, and introduces the latest ideas, including organizational identity theory, process and practice theories, and aesthetics. An Online Resource Centre accompanies this text and includes: For students: Multiple Choice Questions For registered adopters: Lecturer's guide PowerPoint slides Figures and tables from the book

But in contrast with some other studies, it adopts a more skeptical view of the benefits of capital flows other than foreign direct investment.
Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, affecting nearly one in three Americans. It is prevalent in adults and endemic in the older adult population.

A Population-Based Policy and Systems Change Approach to the Prevention and Control Hypertension identifies a small set of high-priority areas in which public health officials can focus their efforts to accelerate progress in hypertension reduction and control. It offers several rec...
