Este livro oferece uma análise abrangente do fenômeno do absenteísmo laboral, desde sua definição conceitual até suas ramificações nas organizações contemporâneas. Dividido em doze capítulos, a obra apresenta uma síntese do panorama histórico das mudanças no ambiente de trabalho, seguido por uma exploração dos fatores que influenciam o absenteísmo em tal contexto, que vão desde aspectos organizacionais e sociodemográficos até questões de saúde física e mental. Além de analisar os impactos do absenteísmo nas organizações, o livro também apresenta metodologias para mensurá-lo, além de apresentar instrumentos psicológicos fundamentais para sua análise. Destacam-...
Neste livro, os autores abordam as complexidades da vida estudantil universitária de forma inovadora e empática. Por meio de relatos detalhados de experiências, sentimentos e aspirações dos alunos da Faculdade Serra da Mesa, a obra emerge como uma referência para a compreensão das nuances da experiência acadêmica. Com uma análise de dados coletados diretamente dos estudantes, os autores apresentam um quadro vívido das realidades que moldam o cotidiano no ensino superior. Empregando uma ferramenta do Design Thinking conhecida como Mapa de Empatia, os autores não somente identificam as necessidades, desejos e desafios enfrentados pelos alunos, mas também propõem recomendações p...
"This book presents an overall vision of different aspects of benefits of exercise, such as emotional and psychological benefits, role of exercise in insulin regulation, benefits in conditions such as fibromyalgia, oncologic disease, rheumatic inflammatory diseases, polycystic ovary syndrome, oral health, dementia, mental health and autism spectrum. Potentialities of aquatic exercise for health are also addressed. Developed within a base of scientific accuracy and precision, this book aims to accomplish a general synthesis of the topics included, so that it can be a scientific dissemination book for students and professionals in the field of fitness, who seek to update their scientific knowledge about the benefits of exercise in different areas of health, as well as the type of exercise that should be performed to prevent different pathologies, but who are not readers of scientific journals. Therefore, this book is a must read for fitness professionals, sport scientists, sports students, and for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge about the benefits of exercise in different pathologies, and in health in general"--
This book showcases experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in countries in the Latin American region, focusing on managing vulnerability and fostering resilience. It includes a selection of papers presented at a specialist symposium on climate change adaptation held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2016.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation in Latin America, the book documents and disseminates the wealth of experiences in the region. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 addresses the current and future impacts of climate change on fauna, flora and landscapes, while Part 2 is concerned with the socio-economic aspects of climate change adaptation, analyzing some of the main problems prevailing in this vulnerable region and examining ways to address them.
Parasitism is a tight association between species in which one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside the host, causing it harm, and is structurally adapted to this way of life. Until the twenty-first century, parasitism was studied by parasitologists, rather than ecologists or evolutionary biologists. Today, parasitism is a major element of evolutionary ecology, as nearly all free-living animals are hosts to at least one parasite species. Since it is in the parasite's evolutionary interest for its host to flourish, long-term coevolution can lead to a stable relationship bordering on mutualism. According to Lynn Margulis, when resources are scarce, natural selection, moves relationships from parasitism to mutualism, as it was brilliantly illustrated in Margulis' endosymbiosis theory, where eukaryotic mitochondria and chloroplasts descended from formerly free-living prokaryotes. Boundary between mutualism, symbiosis, and pathological parasitism is a thin red line that frequently overlapping without a theory enough clear to explain this thigh relationship between the parasite and its host.
This book addresses the issue of climate change risks and hazards holistically. Climate change adaptation aims at managing climate risks and hazards to an acceptable level, taking advantage of any positive opportunities that may arise. At the same time, developing suitable responses to hazards for communities and users of climate services is important in ensuring the success of adaptation measures. But despite this, knowledge about adaptation options, including possible actions that can be implemented to improve adaptation and reduce the impacts of climate change hazards, is still limited. Addressing this need, the book presents studies and research findings and offers a catalogue of potential adaptation options that can be explored. It also includes case studies providing illustrative and inspiring examples of how we can adapt to a changing climate.
História da Educação do Recôncavo da Guanabara à Baixada Fluminense é uma obra destinada a reunir e divulgar os estudos sobre História da Educação deste território, sobretudo as pesquisas desenvolvidas no grupo de pesquisa Estudos de História da Educação Local (Ehelo), fundado em 2013 na Faculdade de Educação da Baixada Fluminense (FEBF), da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Uerj). Nas reuniões que ocorriam na sala do Programa Integrado de Pesquisa e Cooperação Técnica da Baixada Fluminense (Pinba), estudamos textos sobre a configuração do campo da História da Educação no Brasil, textos teóricos sobre a historiografia, fontes e métodos de pesquisa em Histór...
This comprehensive, up-to-date text, which brings together the key practical elements of the rapidly evolving field of sperm DNA and chromatin abnormalities, is divided thematically into five main sections. Part I discusses human sperm chromatin structure and nuclear architecture, while part II presents laboratory evaluation of sperm DNA damage, including SCSA, SCD, TUNEL and Comet assays, and cytochemical tests. Biological and clinical factors in the etiology of sperm DNA damage are discussed in part III, including oxidative stress, abortive apoptosis, cancer, and environmental and lifestyle factors. Part IV presents clinical studies on the utility of sperm DNA damage tests, both with natur...
