Este volume é uma coletânea de sete capítulos que trazem possibilidades e experiências de sala de aula no universo do ensino a distância, modalidade em ascensão nas últimas décadas no Brasil e no mundo. Inserimo-nos na linha temática “Educação e processos de ensino-aprendizagem” para refletir sobre as práticas e a formação docente que permeiam o mundo do ensino virtual contemporâneo. Somos todos professores em contínua formação e reflexão, compartilhando nossas experiências, ansiedades e propostas de otimização com base nos conhecimentos por nós adquiridos e também no feedback que outros atores (tutores e alunos) nos fornecem. Dessa forma, nossa posição crítico-reflexiva é essencial para a investigação de todas as ações didáticas que circundam o ensino a distância. Tudo com vistas a obter os me-lhores resultados possíveis de um processo que ainda está em sua infância. - Você também pode baixar o livro no site da Editora IFPB: http://editora.ifpb.edu.br/ifpb/catalog/book/32
O Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba, Campus Cajazeiras, é fruto das aspirações da sociedade dos sertões do Rio Piranhas por conhecimento humano, profissionalizante, científico e tecnológico. A realização desse desejo iniciou-se por meio do Projeto de Lei n° 3305-A de 1984, implementado pelo então deputado federal Edme Tavares. Em 04 de dezembro de 1994, as portas se abrem: aconteceu a inauguração da Unidade de Ensino Descentralizada, sediada na cidade de Cajazeiras (UNED Cajazeiras), parte da Escola Técnica Federal da Paraíba. O presente trabalho traz à tona múltiplos olhares e rememorações de experiências de vida conectados aos seus 25 anos de história. - Você também pode baixar o livro no site da Editora IFPB: http://editora.ifpb.edu.br/ifpb/catalog/book/400
Esta obra consolida a memória do curso de licenciatura plena em Letras da UFRPE, unidade acadêmica de Serra Talhada. Pela distância, de 410 km, do polo central instalado na capital do estado, Recife, desde o início, os professores e a gestão local se uniram para realizar eventos integrados ao calendário acadêmico da graduação, assim como a Semana de Letras da UAST. Os capítulos (re)constroem a memória do curso e se atém ao elemento mais fundamental dos estudos das linguagens: a relação entre o Eu e o Outro. Esta publicação é destinada a estudantes, professores e interessados em uma educação, pautada em valores democráticos e no compromisso de conviver com o outro.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity. With Second Growth, Robin L. Chazdon reveals those assumptions to be largely false, bringing to the fore the previously overlooked counterpart to old-growth forest: second growth. Even as human activities result in extensive fragmentation and deforestation, tropical forests demonstrate a great capacity for natural and human-aided regeneration. Although these damaged landscapes can take centuries to regain the characteristics of old growth, Chazdon shows here that re...

Doing Business in 2005: Obstacles to Growth is the second in a series of annual reports investigating the scope and manner of regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. New quantitative indicators on business regulations and their enforcement can be compared across more than 130 countries, and over time. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why. Topics in Doing Business in 2005 include: Licensing and Inspections: Having registered a business, now what? In most countries, firms face a myriad of sector specific licenses as well as inspections to enforce compliance. The Doing Business database construc...
Advances in molecular biology and genome research in the form of molecular breeding and genetic engineering put forward innovative prospects for improving productivity of many pulses crops. Pathways have been discovered, which include regulatory elements that modulate stress responses (e.g., transcription factors and protein kinases) and functional genes, which guard the cells (e.g., enzymes for generating protective metabolites and proteins). In addition, numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with elevated stress tolerance have been cloned, resulting in the detection of critical genes for stress tolerance. Together these networks can be used to enhance stress tolerance in pulses. This book summarizes recent advances in pulse research for increasing productivity, improving biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and enhancing nutritional quality.
