O livro “Educação de Jovens e Adultos: Diversidade, inclusão e conscientização” se situa no contexto de uma multiplicidade de processos formativos voltados a contemplar, para além da busca de superação do analfabetismo absoluto, o debate sobre temáticas voltadas ao alargamento da concepção de EJA, as quais, embora propaladas, raramente são consignadas nos programas de ensino desse segmento da educação básica tais como a identidade cultural, as diferenças, a questão racial, as relações de poder, a temática de gênero, a arte e a cultura popular, entre outras, todas elas a carecer de políticas públicas para efetivação. Compreende-se como imperativa a produção e di...
O livro “Educação de Jovens e Adultos: Teoria, Práticas e Políticas” tem por objetivo a discussão de princípios teóricos de prática pedagógica, de formação de educadores e de políticas públicas nessa área do conhecimento. Resulta de ações voltadas aos anseios de minimização da enorme dívida social do analfabetismo e à desejável articulação entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão universitária, incrementando o processo de formação inicial e continuada de professores, de modo a aliar teoria e prática. Entende-se que nas Ciências Humanas a pesquisa se consolida a partir da extensão universitária ao mesmo tempo em que se estabelece um diálogo com a sociedade que sub...
Stress is one of the most commonly reported precipitants of drug use and is considered the number one cause of relapse to drug abuse. For the past several decades, there have been a number of significant advances in research focusing on the neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of stress and addiction; along with this growth came the recognition of the importance of understanding the interaction of biological and psychosocial factors that influence risk for initiation and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Recent research has started to specifically focus on understanding the nature of how stress contributes to addiction - this research has influenced the way we think about addiction and...

Most bioactive compounds have antioxidant activity, particularly tocochromanols, phenolics (flavonoids and phenolic acids), methylxantines and capsaicinoids. Some of these compounds have also other properties important for human health. For example, vitamin E protects against oxidative stress, but it is also known for its “non-antioxidant” functions, including cell signalling and antiproliferation. Selenium compounds and indoleamins are the components of the antioxidant enzymes. Selenium makes vitamin E acquisition easier and controls its physiological functions. In taking part in enzymatic reactions and protecting the cell against free radicals, selenium shows immunomodulative, antiphlo...

Introduction by Thomas Lawson, Susan Morgan.
In recent years, the role of plant secondary metabolites as protective constituents in the human diet has been a growing area of research. Unlike the traditional vitamins, they are not essential for short-term wellbeing, but there is increasing evidence that modest long-term intakes can have favourable impacts on the incidence of cancers and many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes, which are occurring in Western populations with increasing frequency. This book covers the latest science on the metabolism and potential health benefits of teas, cocoa, coffee and their extracts in the human diet. From an opening chapter tracing the origins of teas, cocoa and ...
