Constitucionalização das Relações Privadas
Em setembro de 2023, completam-se 50 anos do exercício ininterupto das atividades de docência do Professor Paulo Luiz Neto Lôbo, desde o início de suas atividades como professor na Universidade Federal de Alagoas. Sua vasta e importante contribuição para o ensino jurídico em nosso país pode ser facilmente evidenciada pelos diversos cargos que ocupou durante sua trajetória: o hoje Professor Emérito da UFAL (2006) foi Diretor do Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas da UFAL (1984-1988) e do Centro de Ciências Jurídicas (setembro 1995-agosto 1999) e Consultor do CNPq e da CAPES, na área de Direito. Ex-Conselheiro do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, Presidente e Relator da Comissão d...
Landforms and Landscapes of Portugal
The book brings together contributions from over 35 Portuguese geomorphologists, presenting a thorough overview of the main highlights of the landscape of Portugal's mainland, Azores and Madeira. The book, which is a tribute to Professor António de Brum Ferreira, first President of the Portuguese Association of Geomorphologists and former Professor at the University of Lisbon, who passed away in January 2013, is organized in 3 parts: a) Introduction, which presents a general framework of the physical geography of Portugal, b) Geomorphological landscapes, presenting ca. 30 short papers with regional focus on key geomorphological areas, c) Applied geomorphology, providing an updated vision on the protection of geomorphological heritage with a focus on geoparks, as well as on Geomorphological hazards in Portugal. This first book ever to concentrate on the geomorphology of Portugal will surely become a benchmark for Portuguese geomorphology.
At Loggerheads?
The report offers a simple framework for policy analysis by identifying three forest types: frontiers and disputed lands; lands beyond the agricultural frontier; and, mosaic lands where forests and agriculture coexist. It collates geographic and economic information for each type that will help formulate poverty-reducing forest policy.
The BBC National Short Story Award 2017
There is in the short story, at its most characteristic, something we do not often find in the novel, Frank O’Connor wrote, ‘an intense awareness of human loneliness.’ The stories shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award with BookTrust 2017 all feature characters that are disconnected, willingly or unwillingly, from those around them: a mysterious out-of-towner is shunned by her new colleagues; a grieving husband retreats into his old compulsion for hoarding; a promising academic risks his career for a casual liaison with a younger man. And whether we follow the characters’ need to be alone – like the fisherman drifting dangerously far from shore – or trace it back to i...
Chemistry And Biology Of Ellagitannins: An Underestimated Class Of Bioactive Plant Polyphenols
This book is the first of its kind that focuses on the chemistry and biology of ellagitannins, a special class of naturally occurring polyphenols which have so far not received the attention they deserve. These polyphenolic substances are found in many plants, including numerous food sources. They not only exhibit unique structural features that fascinate most chemists who are aware of their existence, but also express remarkable biological activities that have yet to attract the interest of the pharmaceutical industry. This is surprising because ellagitannins have been identified as active principles in traditional Chinese medicines.The principal aim of this book is to set the record straig...
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Bioactive Natural Products 2018
Throughout most of history, medicinal plants and their active metabolites have represented a valuable source of compounds used to prevent and to cure several diseases. Interest in natural compounds is still high as they represent a source of novel biologically/pharmacologically active compounds. Due to their high structural diversity and complexity, they are interesting structural scaffolds that can offer promising candidates for the study of new drugs, functional foods, and food additives. Plant extracts are a highly complex mixture of compounds and qualitative and quantitative analyses are necessary to ensure their quality. Furthermore, greener methods of extraction and analysis are needed today. This book is based on articles submitted for publication in the Special Issue entitled “Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Bioactive Natural Products” that collected original research and reviews on these topics.
Agroforestry and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Landscapes
Agroforestry -- the practice of integrating trees and other large woody perennials on farms and throughout the agricultural landscape -- is increasingly recognized as a useful and promising strategy that diversifies production for greater social, economic, and environmental benefits. Agroforestry and BiodiversityConservation in Tropical Landscapes brings together 46 scientists and practitioners from 13 countries with decades of field experience in tropical regions to explore how agroforestry practices can help promote biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes, to synthesize the current state of knowledge in the field, and to identify areas where further research is needed. Agro...
The BBC National Short Story Award 2020
A young woman’s birthday party is disturbed by the vision of a homeless man sleeping under an arrangement of mocking fruit... A late-night text conversation goes awry when a forwarded link to a live feed of gathering walruses doesn’t have its intended effect... A woman hopes a pending announcement to her in-laws will finally give her husband the attention he craves... The stories shortlisted for the 2020 BBC National Short Story Award with Cambridge University demonstrate how a single moment might become momentous; how a small encounter or exchange can irreversibly change the way others see you, or the way you see yourself. From the struggles of two women trapped by joblessness and addic...
Universities and Sustainable Communities: Meeting the Goals of the Agenda 2030
The book showcases examples of university engagement in community initiatives and reports on the results from research and from a variety of institutional projects and programmes. As a whole, the book illustrates how actors at the community (microlevel) and other levels (meso and macro) can make valuable and concrete contributions to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, more specifically, to achieving the objectives defined at the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is one of the outcomes of the “Second World Symposium on Sustainability Science”, which was jointly organised by the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (Brazil), the Research and Transfer Centre “Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management” and the “European School of Sustainability Science and Research” at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), in cooperation with the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP).
Technological Innovation for Applied AI Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2021, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in July 2021.* The 34 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers present selected results produced in engineering doctoral programs and focus on technological innovation for industry and service systems. Research results and ongoing work are presented, illustrated and discussed in the following areas: collaborative networks; smart manufacturing; cyber-physical systems and digital twins; intelligent decision making; smart energy management; communications and electronics; classification systems; smart healthcare systems; and medical devices. *The conference was held virtually. Chapters “Characteristics of Adaptable Control of Production Systems and the Role of Self-organization Towards Smart Manufacturing” and “Predictive Manufacturing: Enabling Technologies, Frameworks and Applications” are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
