This book provides comprehensive knowledge and a detailed step by step description of experimental protocols for the determination of food intake, body weight changes, and some metabolic markers. Chapters are split into two parts detailing experimental diets, monitor food intake, weight gain, evaluate biological samples, predict physiological changes, evaluate bioavailability of bioactive, anamnesis, measure the metabolic rate, assessing the body composition, assessing glucose homeostasis, and monitoring the metabolomic pathways. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Basic Protocols in Foods and Nutrition aims to be a foundation for future studies and to be a source of inspiration for new investigations in the field.
Sean Stroud examines how and why Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail. Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He g...
Smart Polymer Nanocomposites: Design, Synthesis, Functionalization, Properties, and Applications brings together the latest research on synthetic methods and surface functionalization of polymers and polymer composites for advanced applications. Sections cover the basic principles of advanced polymer nanocomposites, including morphology, materials, characterization, and copolymerization, provide in-depth coverage of synthetic methods, facilitating the preparation of polymeric nanoparticles with the required properties, examine the morphologies of polymer nanocomposites and stimuli-responsive surfaces, and focus on cutting-edge approaches to tailoring polymeric nanocomposites according to the...
Time and Form is a collection of essays on philosophy, art and politics based on courses held by Swedish and Brazilian scholars between 2006 and 2013, under an academic cooperation between Sodertorn University (Sweden) and Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). In times of globalization, where traditional forms of life as well as established theoretical approaches are shaken in their most fundamental grounds, the search for new modes of co-existence and reflection becomes a matter of special urgency. The different approaches and questions discussed in the present volume mirror this search for new forms of life and of theory: they are pursued here both as subjects of reflection and as ways to reflect upon traditional philosophical issues. In this sense, the question about the relation between time and form can be considered the common thread that weaves and connects the different contributions together. With contributions by Luisa Buarque, Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback, Pedro Duarte, Stefan Jonsson, Helena Martins, Luiz Camillo Osorio, Luiz Carlos Pereira, Hans Ruin, Nicholas Smith, Fredrika Spindler, Sven-Olov Wallenstein, and Charlotta Weigelt
