Determinantes sociais, biológicos e históricos da epidemia de HIV/AIDS no Brasil e no mundo

Sinopse Em 1989, o historiador estadunidense Stephen Richards Graubard (1924-2021) escreveu um prefácio inquietante para introduzir os dois números temáticos da revista Daedalus, da qual ele foi editor por anos. Graubard (1989) inicia destacando que, passado quase uma década da emergência da AIDS, ainda era preciso se ter acesso à uma literatura que promovesse um debate mais qualificado. Tratava-se de uma crítica evidente às especulações estigmatizantes que deram a tônica das conversações sobre a doença naquela década. O texto é composto por inúmeras e relevantes questões, cujo escopo abrange um largo escopo disciplinar e institucional. Ele traça um panorama extensivo que ...

Care has re-entered the zeitgeist. In the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, #selfcare exploded across media platforms. Beyond this popular focus on self-care rituals, care has also emerged as a driving force within new collective movements. Situating discussions of care within a historical trajectory of feminist, queer, and Black activism, contributors to this special issue consider how individuals and communities receive and provide care in order to survive in environments that challenge their very existence. They explore how trans activists find resilience and vitality through coalitional labor; argue that social movements should expand mutual aid strategies, focusing on so...

Phenolic Compounds

Phenolic compounds as a large class of metabolites found in plants have attracted attention since long time ago due to their properties and the hope that they will show beneficial health effects when taken as dietary supplements. This book presents the state of the art of some of the natural sources of phenolic compounds, for example, medicinal plants, grapes or blue maize, as well as the modern methods of extraction, quantification, and identification, and there is a special section discussing the treatment, removal, and degradation of phenols, an important issue in those phenols derived from the pharmaceutical or petrochemical industries.

Spatial Impacts of Climate Change

Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts – rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. – it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
