This Open Access book presents the current state of the art knowledge on social and affective neuroscience based on empirical findings. This volume is divided into several sections first guiding the reader through important theoretical topics within affective neuroscience, social neuroscience and moral emotions, and clinical neuroscience. Each chapter addresses everyday social interactions and various aspects of social interactions from a different angle taking the reader on a diverse journey. The last section of the book is of methodological nature. Basic information is presented for the reader to learn about common methodologies used in neuroscience alongside advanced input to deepen the understanding and usability of these methods in social and affective neuroscience for more experienced readers.
A retrospective overview of the landscape architecture of Rosa Kliass, characteristic for her decorative use of forms, colors and textures of plants and flowers, with an emphasis on tectonic elements (walls, floors, volumes, pergolas, waterfalls, mirror fountains and swimming pools). The edition reviews the last 50 year production of one of the most significant figures of the 2nd generation of landscape architects in Brazil who in1969 traveled to the USA, a turning point in her creative career. The book presents a selection of projects including her rehabilitation project of the port Estaçao das Docas (1999-2000) in Belém do Pará, protection project Parque do Abaet (1992) a landmark in Salvador; the Plano Preliminar Paisagístico de Curitiba (1965-66), an urban plan so the paranaense city could find an expansion model in accordance with green areas; project Paisagístico da Avenida Paulista (1973-74), one of the most beautiful avenues in Sao Paulo and in danger of destruction along other individual projects reviewed and chiefly illustrated.

This book aims to present theoretical and practical innovations in the cognitive sciences and education fields focusing on studies and research conducted with non-WEIRD (i.e., western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) populations, especially from Latin America. Cognitive sciences and neuroscience have increased exponentially their knowledge in the last three decades, and today there is a corpus of knowledge about our central nervous system and its functioning that (adequately understood) has promising contributions for the educational field. Most of this knowledge, however, comes from central countries (North America, Europe) and is based on studies conducted on what has been c...

"O desenvolvimento tecnológico desencadeado pela Segunda Guerra Mundial foi o pontapé inicial para a chamada “indústria da informação”, que possibilitou, na década de 1960, o surgimento das revistas científicas, importante suporte às atividades de ciência e tecnologia. Cabe às revistas, em grande parte, divulgar as diversas fases de uma investigação científica e servir de fonte para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas futuras. Afinal, “a evolução de qualquer ramo da ciência depende da postura de atualização contínua do pesquisador, que se baseia nos conteúdos científicos publicados pelos pares”. A informação é essencial, porém, não menos importantes são as novas formas de comunicá-la. A transição das revistas científicas impressas para o meio digital é o tema abordado pelos artigos que compõem este livro."
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar is the most dreadful of all forms of leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania donovani in Old World and Leishmania chagasi and/or Leishmania infantum in New World affecting millions of people worldwide. In active VL, macrophages host the replicating amastigotes in phagolysosomal compartments leading to splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, hyperglobulinemia, anemia, weight-loss, incessant fever and ultimately death if not treated. Treatments available against the disease are limited by increased incidence of resistance, serious side-effects, high cost and long course of treatment. Immuno-chemotherapy is an alternative to overcome the limitations of the drugs against ...
