Aperte os cintos, você vai entrar em uma aventura inesperada, cheia das belas paisagens e também de turbulências: O trabalho do servidor público. Este suposto conhecido quando olhado mais de perto se revela surpreendente, e revela, pari passu, nossa ignorância sobre ele. Para o servidor público, com algumas exceções, falar de saúde no trabalho é falar de saúde mental no trabalho. O trabalhador adoece com o que usa e se desgasta no trabalho. Um metalúrgico do século passado utilizava as mãos e adoecia com elas; o servidor público de hoje não corre o risco de ferimentos fÃsicos na frente de um computador ou no atendimento de pessoas em busca de ajuda, é no cérebro e nas emoÃ...
Traz como principais eixos temáticos: as reflexões relacionadas ao conceito e aos usos da epidemiologia, especificamente na psiquiatria e saúde mental; as questões metodológicas dedicadas à s concepções sociais contidas nos conceitos utilizados na epidemiologia; os aspectos da complexidade inerente ao processo saúde/doença mental. Oferece, assim, a proposta de construção das bases das três epidemiologias no domÃnio psiquiátrico: a da personalidade, a do sofrimento psÃquico e a da doença mental. Constitui-se em uma das mais ousadas contribuições para o estabelecimento de fundamentos consistentes, que sirvam de sustentação para os processos inovadores da saúde mental.
Commitment in the workplace has been an enduring concern of managers at all levels. On the basis of extensive research and practical work with corporations, Stephen L. Fink establishes a sound basis (Commitment Diagnostic Instrument) for diagnosing essential characteristics of employee commitment and, importantly, offers practical guidance for remedying situations in which commitment levels constitute problems. Fink examines the differing experiences of corporations with dissimilar personnel approaches. His analysis involves consideration of common, but highly relevant, factors including age, length of service, and educational level. Types of commitments are differentiated, for example, commitment to co-workers is distinguished from commitment to one's specific performance. Managers are guided on the approaches conducive to establish, monitor, and strengthen commitment as a means to a qualitatively better and more productive workplace.
Set among a Lebanese immigrant community in the Brazilian port of Manaus, The Brothers is the story of identical twins, Yaqub and Omar, whose mutual jealousy is offset only by their love for their mother. But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, Rania, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, The Brothers is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.
Life History Evolution represents a synthetic approach to the understanding of the evolution of life history variation using the three types of environment (constant, stochastic, predictable) as the focus under which the theory is developed and tested. First, the author outlines a general framework for the study and analysis of life history variation, bringing together the approaches of quantitative genetic modeling and optimality analysis. Using this framework, he then discusses how life histories evolve in the three different types of environments, each of which presents unique characteristics. The theme of the book is that an understanding of evolutionary change requires analysis at both the genetic and phenotypic levels, and that the environment plays a central role in such analyses. Intended for graduate students and researchers, the book's emphasis is on assumptions and testing of models. Mathematical processes are described, but mathematical derivations are kept to a minimum. Each chapter includes a summary, and boxes provide supplementary material.

Carbon-carbon bond forming reactions are arguably the most important processes in chemistry, as they represent key steps in the building of complex molecules from simple precursors. Among these reactions, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are extensively employed in a wide range of areas of preparative organic chemistry, ranging from the synthesis of complex natural products, to supramolecular chemistry, and materials science. In this work, a dozen internationally renowned experts and leaders in the field bring the reader up to date by documenting and critically analyzing current developments and uses of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. A particularly attractive and useful feature, that enhances the practical value of this monograph, is the inclusion of key synthetic protocols, in experimental format, chosen for broad utility and application. This practice-oriented book can offer the practitioner short cuts to ensure they remain up-to-date with the latest developments.
