Astronomy And Relativistic Astrophysics: New Phenomena And New States Of Matter In The Universe - Proceedings Of The Third Workshop (Iwara07)
This book presents scientific research on the central theme of new states of matter and new phenomena in the universe. The topics covered range from the big bang, through topics including the formation of exotic stars, black holes and the plasma of quarks and gluons by heavy ion reactions, to the influence of dark matter and dark energy in the evolution of the universe.Scientific interest in these themes has been growing: together with the development of major projects such as AUGER, LHC, FERMI Telescope, FAIR/GSI and GEO/LIGO, the diversity and scope of research on such themes has been on the rise. The content is detailed enough to capture the interest of experts in the field and is useful for future explorations on these fascinating themes.
Schistosomiasis
In the wake of the invitation by InTech, this book was written by a number of prominent researchers in the field. It is set to present a compendium of all necessary and up-to-date data to all who are interested. Schistosomiasis or blood fluke disease, also known as Bilharziasis, is a parasitic disease caused by helminths from a genus of trematodes entitled Schistosoma. It is a snail-borne trematode infection. The disease is among the Neglected Tropical Diseases, catalogued by the Global Plan to combat Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008-2015 and is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be the second most socioeconomically devastating parasitic disease, next to malaria. WHO demonstrates that schistosomiasis affects at least 200 million people worldwide, more than 700 million people live in endemic areas, and more than 200.000 deaths are reported annually. It leads to the loss of about 4.5 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
Paid to Care
An insight into the struggles of paid domestic workers in Latin America through an exploration of films, texts, and digital media produced since the 1980s in collaboration with them or inspired by their experiences. Paid domestic work in Latin America is often undervalued, underpaid, and underregulated. Exploring a wave of Latin American cultural texts since the 1980s that draw on the personal experiences of paid domestic work or intimate ties to domestic employees, Paid to Care offers insights into the struggles domestic workers face through an analysis of literary testimonials, documentary and fiction films, and works of digital media. From domestic workers’ experiences of unionization i...
Frontiers of Gender Equality
In Frontiers of Gender Equality, editor Rebecca Cook enlarges the chorus of voices to introduce new and different discourses about the wrongs of gender discrimination and to explain the multiple dimensions of gender equality. This volume demonstrates that the wrongs of discrimination can best be understood from the perspective of the discriminated, and that gender discrimination persists and grows in new and different contexts, widening the gap between the principle of gender equality and its realization, particularly for subgroups of women and LGBTQ+ peoples. Frontiers of Gender Equality provides retrospective views of the struggles to eliminate gender discrimination in national courts and ...

Direitos Reprodutivos e Planejamento Familiar
SOBRE A OBRA A poetisa Sylvia Plath inicia o belíssimo poema "Morning Song" dizendo que "O amor faz você andar como um gordo relógio de ouro". Esta poesia fala sobre uma mãe que acorda à noite com seu bebê chorando e fica tão ocupada cuidando dele que não consegue apreciar a beleza do sol. O eu lírico deste texto é inspirado na própria autora que, à época da escrita, era mãe de um bebê. Pensamos nesta frase para apresentar o livro "Direitos Reprodutivos e Planejamento Familiar" pois vemos a construção desta obra como o relógio de ouro que faz o amor andar. O amor, aqui, é o que move o direito ao planejamento familiar e os direitos reprodutivos. Amor ao próprio corpo, amor...
A Plurilingual History of the Portuguese Language in the Luso-Brazilian Empire
This book investigates the diverse ways in which the Portuguese language expanded in Brazil, despite the multilingual landscape that predominated before and after the arrival of the Europeans and the African diaspora. Challenging the assumption that the prevalence of Portuguese was a natural consequence and foregone conclusion of colonisation, the book argues that the language’s expansion was as much a result of state intervention as of individual agency. The growth of the Portuguese language was a tumultuous process that mirrored the power relations and conflicts between Amerindian, European, African, and mestizo actors who shaped, standardised, and promoted the language within and beyond...
Barragens de rejeitos de mineração
O retrato atual do Brasil na atividade com barragens minerárias destaca-se por um histórico de falhas, envolvendo fatalidades e prejuízos ambientais, o que gera inquietação social. Essa situação evidencia a não observância da orientação constitucional pela prevenção e controle dos riscos decorrentes dessa atividade econômica. Assim, considerando-se os recentes desastres tecnológicos resultantes de falhas em barragens de rejeitos minerários, com impactos socioambientais imensuráveis, sob alguns aspectos, questiona-se: em que medida as normas brasileiras sobre gestão de riscos e segurança de barragens de rejeitos minerários e os atores responsáveis pela execução têm dia...
Violence Against Women in the Global South
Bringing together 14 journalism scholars from around the world, this edited collection addresses the deficit of coverage of violence against women in the Global South by examining the role of the legacy press and social media that report on and highlight ways to improve reporting. Authors investigate the ontological limitations which present structural and systemic challenges for journalists who report on the normalization of violence against women in country cases in Argentina; Brazil; Mexico; Indonesia; Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa; Egypt; Libya, Syria, and Yemen. Challenges include patriarchal forces; gender imbalance in newsrooms; propaganda and censorship strategies by repressive, hyper-masculine, and populist political regimes; economic and digital inequities; and civil and transnational wars. Presenting diverse conceptual, methodological, and empirical chapters, the collection offers a revision of existing frameworks and guidelines and aims to promote more gender-sensitive, trauma-informed, solutions-driven, and victim or survivor centered reporting in the region.
