Public Diplomacy on the Front Line
The Exhibition of Modern Brazilian Paintings, held at the Royal Academy of Arts of London and seven other major venues throughout the United Kingdom in 1944 and 1945, was the first collective display of Brazil’s art shown in the United Kingdom and the largest ever sent abroad until then. It resulted from an initiative championed by the Brazilian Foreign Ministry and envisioned by 70 Modernist painters who donated 168 artworks as a contribution to the Allied War effort. Notwithstanding its historical relevance and unmatched scale, this event had never been academically investigated. Through exploring why and how successfully the Brazilian government devoted superlative efforts to this enter...
Modern Brazil: a Very Short Introduction
Anthony Pereira introduces the country and idea of Brazil, from its depiction in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, to Brazil's colonial past, and the country's transformation from a poor agricultural outpost to an integral part of the 21st century global order. Throughout he considers the economic, political, and social challenges the country faces.
Modern Brazil
The first social history examining all aspects of Brazil's radical transition from a predominantly rural society to an urban one.
Nationalizing Nature
An insightful look at how Brazil and Argentina employed national parks to develop and settle frontier areas.
Handbook of Social Sciences and Global Public Health
This handbook highlights the relevance of the social sciences in global public health and their significantly crucial role in the explanation of health and illness in different population groups, the improvement of health, and the prevention of illnesses around the world. Knowledge generated via social science theories and research methodologies allows healthcare providers, policy-makers, and politicians to understand and appreciate the lived experience of their people, and to provide sensitive health and social care to them at a time of most need. Social sciences, such as medical sociology, medical anthropology, social psychology, and public health are the disciplines that examine the socio...
Mathematical Modeling in Agriculture
The main goal of the book is to explore the idea behind data modeling in smart agriculture using information and communication technologies and tools to make agricultural practices more functional, fruitful and profitable. The research in the book looks at the likelihood and level of use of implemented technological components with regard to the adoption of different precision agricultural technologies. To identify the variables affecting farmers’ choices to embrace more precise technology, zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial count data regression models were utilized. Outcomes from the count data analysis of a random sample of various farm operators show that various aspects, incl...
Exploring Global FinTech Advancement and Applications
In the world of FinTech, scholars face an overwhelming dilemma; it is challenging to access comprehensive and up-to-date information across various regions with regards to timeliness. The transformative power of FinTech, driven by innovations such as blockchain, AI analytics, and mobile payment systems, has reshaped financial transactions, influenced economic growth, and spurred competition among traditional financial institutions. However, the lack of a comprehensive, scholarly resource hinders the ability of academics, policymakers, and industry professionals to navigate and comprehend these intricate developments. The need for a centralized repository of knowledge has become increasingly ...
The Shifting Ground of Globalization
In The Shifting Ground of Globalization, Thiago Aguiar describes the transformation of the Brazilian mining company into a Transnational Corporation and its consequences for workers, communities, and the environment in the first decades of the twenty-first century.
Intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things
The edited book Intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks and Internet of Things: Algorithms, Methodologies and Applications is intended to discuss the progression of recent as well as future generation technologies for WSNs and IoTs applications through Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL). In general, computing time is obviously increased when the massive data is required from sensor nodes in WSN’s. the novel technologies such as 5G and 6G provides enough bandwidth for large data transmissions, however, unbalanced links faces the novel constraints on the geographical topology of the sensor networks. Above and beyond, data transmission congestion and data...
Intelligent Systems
The two-volume set LNAI 12319 and 12320 constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2020, held in Rio Grande, Brazil, in October 2020. The total of 90 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 228 submissions. The contributions are organized in the following topical section: Part I: Evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, constrains and search, combinatorial and numerical optimization; neural networks, deep learning and computer vision; and text mining and natural language processing. Part II: Agent and multi-agent systems, planning and reinforcement learning; knowledge representation, logic and fuzzy systems; machine learning and data mining; and multidisciplinary artificial and computational intelligence and applications. Due to the Corona pandemic BRACIS 2020 was held as a virtual event.
