Esta obra se propõe a investigar a tomada de consciência em A paixão segundo G.H., de Clarice Lispector, e em Les belles images, de Simone de Beauvoir. O principal objetivo é comparar as duas obras, demonstrando como se dá esse processo nas personagens protagonistas dos romances em questão, englobando desde a sua origem (hápax existencial), o decorrer desse processo, e em que aspectos essas personagens modificam seu modo de pensar a condição social na qual estão inseridas e a condição existencial feminina. As duas escritoras discutem nessas obras o sentido da tomada de consciência da mulher, ao mergulharem no processo de contestação de seus destinos diante de uma sociedade patriarcal, opressora e burguesa.
Na obra Humanae absurdum: a imagem do humano na obra de Albert Camus, o autor se aproxima dos escritos de Albert Camus, em uma abordagem sistêmica, levando em consideração muito mais as inter-relações entre cada uma delas do que um hipotético sentido oculto a ser descoberto pelo leitor. Desse modo, o encadeamento do processo criativo camusiano recebe mais atenção como aquilo que precisa ser "escutado" no autor do que a estrutura resultante desse processo. O autor argumenta com propriedade que esse novo olhar sobre a obra de Camus permite a aceitação mesmo daquilo que é (ou parece ser) contraditório em seu pensamento. Para tanto, o método hermenêutico é usado como ferramenta de...
This book provides a wealth of images and extensive information on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and other cells usually observed in blood from patients with cancer, such as giant macrophages, and circulating tumor microemboli (CTM). The field of “liquid biopsy” began with the analysis of CTCs in the early 2000s. In the beginning, molecular techniques were developed to detect these cells in the blood. However, it has since become clear that CTCs initially require a cytopathological analysis to be detected without false positive and negative results. After detection, molecular analysis can be subsequently performed. Cancer is an important cause of mortality, especially when detected in l...
Natural Plant Products in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Preventive and Therapeutic Potential organizes all evidence to understand which natural products are the first steps of investigation and which have strong evidence of their effects in inflammatory bowel diseases, have been tested in clinical trials, and have received approval to be officially used. In addition to providing information regarding the research with natural products in inflammatory bowel diseases, this reference will also highlight the molecular mechanisms behind the effects of natural products in inflammatory bowel diseases with the aid of figures, video animations and dynamic tables. Compiled from research group members f...
The massive grasslands of Brazil -- known as the cerrados -- which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little media attention. This book brings together leading researchers on the area to produce the first detailed account in English of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem. Given their extent and threatened status, the richness of their flora and fauna, and the lack of familiarity with their unique ecology at the international level, the cerrados are badly in need of this important and timely work.
'One of the hidden geniuses of the twentieth century' Colm Tóibín 'She suddenly leaned toward the mirror and sought the loveliest way to see herself' Lucrécia Neves is vain, unreflective, insolently superficial, almost mute. She may have no inner life at all. As she morphs from small-town girl to worldly wife of a rich man, and her small home town surrenders to the forces of progress, Lucrécia seeks perfection: to be an object, serene, smooth, beyond the burden of words or even thought itself. A book that obsessed its author, The Besieged City is unlike any other work in Lispector's canon: a story of transformation, of what it means to see and to be seen.
In recent years researchers have discovered that bats play key roles in many ecosystems as insect predators, seed dispersers, and pollinators. Bats also display astonishing ecological and evolutionary diversity and serve as important models for studies of a wide variety of topics, including food webs, biogeography, and emerging diseases. In Bat Ecology, world-renowned bat scholars present an up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative review of this ongoing research. The first part of the book covers the life history and behavioral ecology of bats, from migration to sperm competition and natural selection. The next section focuses on functional ecology, including ecomorphology, feeding, and...
