This collection examines the important and topical issue of the economic, social and environmental implications of concerted attempts to diversify energy sources away from fossil fuels. The book expertly examines this issue by focussing on the contrasting experiences of two major economies; one developed, and the other a rapidly expanding, emerging market. Energy, Bio Fuels and Development evaluates the experience of Brazil, with elements of that of the US highlighted for the purpose of comparison. A key area of concern surrounds the causes and consequences of the contrasting routes to biofuel production represented by sugar cane (in Brazil) and corn (in the US). The book also places the rec...
Entre a diversidade de problemas que envolvem a dinâmica da formação de professores e também entre as incontáveis transformações sociais ocorridas ao longo do século XX e início desse século XXI, insere-se a necessidade de permanente discussão dos objetivos, das funções do professor, e de como tais questões podem ser vistas para se atingir um desempenho cada vez mais satisfatório, tanto sob o ângulo pedagógico-científico quanto sob o político social. Pode-se afirmar que a presença da escola no cotidiano das pessoas figura entre os aspectos mais impactantes da experiência da contemporaneidade. A tendência à universalização da educação gerou debates crescentes a respeito do papel da escola e consequentemente da formação de professores. Nesse contexto cabe ressaltar a atualidade e a relevância das contribuições do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) e do Programa Residência Pedagógica (RP), sobre os quais apresentamos os trabalhos desenvolvidos no âmbito dos editais CAPES 01/2020 e 02/2020, respectivamente, que tiveram início em outubro de 2020 com 1.008 bolsistas, 15 campus e todas as licenciaturas da Unesp.
O Mestrado Profissional em Enfermagem Assistencial (MPEA), da Escola de Enfermagem Aurora de Afonso Costa (EEAAC) da Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), é um programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu. Este livro é produto do empenho colaborativo, apresentando os produtos e processos relacionados ao MPEA da EEAAC/UFF nos últimos anos. Resultado da colaboração entre docentes e discentes, a obra oferece uma visão abrangente das contribuições desses profissionais para o avanço do conhecimento e das práticas na área da Enfermagem. O livro reflete o compromisso conjunto em promover melhorias significativas na profissão, destacando a dedicação coletiva ao aprimoramento da excelência e inovação no campo da enfermagem assistencial.
Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, and infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been identified as the causal agent for this condition. The natural history of cervical cancer is characterized by slow disease progression, rendering the condition, in essence, preventable and even treatable when diagnosed in early stages. Pap smear and the recently introduced prophylactic vaccines are the most prominent prevention options, but despite the availability of these primary and secondary screening tools, the global burden of disease is unfortunately still very high. This book will focus on the clinical aspects of HPV and related disease, highlighting the latest developments in this field.
This is the first comprehensive listing of Amazon fruits from an ethnobotanical perspective. This detailed book covers 50 botanical families, 207 species, in the Amazon including how the people of each region use them. It is lavishly illustrated with high-quality photographs taken by the author, an extensive list of references, and Dr. Smith’s latest, meticulous research. This book should be a foundational work for scholars working in the plant sciences, researchers in ethnobotanical studies, and general interest scholars seeking more detailed information on the latest research by a leading scientist in the Amazon.
Biotic stresses cause yield loss of 31-42% in crops in addition to 6-20% during post-harvest stage. Understanding interaction of crop plants to the biotic stresses caused by insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and oomycetes, etc. is important to develop resistant crop varieties. Knowledge on the advanced genetic and genomic crop improvement strategies including molecular breeding, transgenics, genomic-assisted breeding and the recently emerging genome editing for developing resistant varieties in technical crops is imperative for addressing FHEE (food, health, energy and environment) security. Whole genome sequencing of these crops followed by genotyping-by-sequencing have facilitated precise...
Scientific motivation to publish this book comes from the increased interest in the study of toxoplasmosis, showed all over the world. Though the Toxoplasma gondii infection was first discovered in 1908, toxoplasmosis remains a today's research topic, a realm of questions and dilemmas that interest both the veterinarians and the human doctors. Studies in the field are directed to the epidemiology of the disease, the sources of infection, epidemiological chains, being underlined the important feature in the transmission of this parasite: the ability to pass from one intermediate host to another intermediate host without passing through the final host - felids. An increased prevalence of toxop...
