Presents recent research on metabolism and the health effects of polyphenols Consumer interest in the health benefits of many phenolic compounds found in plant foods and derivatives has grown considerably in recent years, giving rise to an increased demand for functional foods. Although preclinical and observational studies have promoted the protective properties of polyphenols for a range of chronic diseases, evidence has shown that most dietary polyphenols have little bioavailability. Once ingested, most of them are metabolized by either the intestinal enzymes or by the gut microbiota and then undergo extensive phase-II metabolism reaching significant concentrations of conjugated metabolit...

Combining ethnographic and historical research conducted in Angola, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, A Prophetic Trajectory tells the story of Simão Toko, the founder and leader of one of the most important contemporary Angolan religious movements. The book explains the historical, ethnic, spiritual, and identity transformations observed within the movement, and debates the politics of remembrance and heritage left behind after Toko’s passing in 1984. Ultimately, it questions the categories of prophetism and charisma, as well as the intersections between mobility, memory, and belonging in the Atlantic Lusophone sphere.

Depois de uma curta «Primavera Marcelista», o país assistiu a uma escalada da violência contra todos os portugueses que enfrentavam a ditadura. Entre 1973 e 1974, mais de 500 pessoas, pertencentes a vários movimentos políticos e oriundas de diferentes classes sociais, foram presas e violentadas pela PIDE. No forte de Caxias, muitas eram sujeitas às mais sofisticadas e brutais formas de tortura, ensinadas através de um manual entregue pela CIA à polícia política portuguesa, enquanto lá fora se preparava a revolução de 25 de Abril. Depois de meses de sofrimento, os homens e mulheres detidos em Caxias enfrentaram momentos de angústia e incerteza quando souberam que houvera um golpe militar – seria um golpe da esquerda ou, tal como acontecera no Chile, da direita mais radical? Atrás das grades, os prisioneiros enfrentaram essa dúvida durante horas a fio. Sofrendo até ao fim, os últimos presos políticos do Estado Novo só conheceram a liberdade na madrugada de 27 de Abril de 1974 – dois dias depois da revolução que pôs termo a 48 anos de ditadura.
"Em Cuidando de histórias: comunicação no fim da vida, a médica Alessandra Ferrarese e a psicóloga Franciely Bottaro se dedicam a mergulhar nas profundezas da experiência humana, apresentando histórias de vida que, embora singulares, refletem as complexidades, as alegrias e as lutas compartilhadas por todos nós em algum momento de nossas jornadas. Este é um livro sobre a humanidade em sua essência mais pura, sobre as lutas e triunfos que compõem o tecido da existência humana, especialmente no momento de maior fragilidade. É uma escrita que aponta uma jornada de autoconhecimento, empatia e superação no cuidar e no comunicar." Rafael Borges de Oliveira
