Hey Ladies!
Based on the column of the same name that appeared in The Toast, Hey Ladies! is a laugh-out-loud read that follows a fictitious group of eight 20-and-30-something female friends for one year of holidays, summer house rentals, dates, brunches, breakups, and, of course, the planning of a disastrous wedding. This instantly relatable story is told entirely through emails, texts, DMs, and every other form of communication known to man. The women in the book are stand-ins for annoying friends that we all have. There’s Nicole, who’s always broke and tries to pay for things in Forever21 gift cards. There’s Katie, the self-important budding journalist, who thinks a retweet and a byline are the same thing. And there’s Jen, the DIY suburban bride-to-be. With a perfectly pitched sardonic tone, Hey Ladies! will have you cringing and laughing as you recognize your own friends, and even yourself.
New approaches for central nervous system rehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation is a complex and growing field of motor rehabilitation. It is specifically directed to apply restorative techniques to stimulate neural plasticity of the central nervous system (CNS). Considering that neuroplasticity is maintained for the whole human life and can be stimulated through specific learning or exposure to enriched environments, we can hypothesize that applying specific treatments can be beneficial for people with CNS injury. Because the plateau of neuroplasticity can be observed after about 12 weeks from stroke onset it is vital to capitalize on this high level of brain reorganization by providing well-timed and well-designed treatments. Here we can distinguish a wide range of approaches developed for CNS recovery in acute, subacute, or chronic stage of injury. These approaches comprise priming or augmentation techniques, including innovative technologies like end-effector robots, exoskeletons, or virtual reality. Many of them have been confirmed as effective, but so far in clinical practice, we can still experience a lack of specific indications i.e., which therapy for how long time and for which patient’s impairment can be applied.

Deadly Dust
During the Depression, silicosis, an industrial lung disease, emerged as a national social crisis. Experts estimated that hundreds of thousands of workers were at risk of disease, disability, and death by inhaling silica in mines, foundries, and quarries. By the 1950s, however, silicosis was nearly forgotten by the media and health professionals. Asking what makes a health threat a public issue, David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz examine how a culture defines disease and how disease itself is understood at different moments in history. They also consider who should assume responsibility for occupational disease.
Linguagem, corpo e estética na educação
Este livro é uma iniciativa das/dos docentes da Linha de Pesquisa Linguagem, Corpo e Estética na Educação (LICORES), vinculada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal do Paraná (PPGE/UFPR/Curitiba-PR-Brasil). Além dos textos de pesquisadoras/es do Brasil, conta com autoras/es do exterior (França, Índia e Equador), detalhe que resulta em um excelente panorama dos estudos na área. A obra, assim como a linha de pesquisa LICORES, busca dar lugar e visibilidade aos sujeitos, suas subjetividades, trajetórias, e aos modos de anunciar sensibilidades e afetos; bem como, considera pertinente dar forma à construção de possibilidades de ser, de viver e se constituir, na escola e em contextos educacionais não escolares. Temos, assim, um conjunto de ensaios que abordam a investigação das formas de expressão, comunicação e formação humanas, pautadas nos estudos da linguagem, do corpo e da estética, considerando suas potencialidades teórico-práticas no campo da pesquisa em Educação.
DELEUZE E GUATTARI - Pensar em veredas que se bifurcam
(...) A filosofia se define, para Deleuze, como criação conceitual, e todo o seu trabalho é marcado por uma extraordinária invenção de conceitos. A arte é, com efeito, do domínio por excelência da criação, mas a arte cria blocos de sensações e não conceitos filosóficos. Grandes artistas e escritores são também grandes pensadores, mas pensam em termos de perceptos e afectos. Pintores pensam com linhas e cores, músicos pensam com sons, cineastas, com imagens e escritores, com palavras. Por isso, não há nenhum privilégio ou hierarquia entre essas diferentes atividades, pois cada uma delas é igualmente criadora. O verdadeiro objeto da arte é criar seres de sensação, agregados sensíveis; o objeto da filosofia é a criação conceitual. Criar um conceito é tão difícil quanto realizar uma composição visual, sonora ou verbal. Do mesmo modo, nada é tão grandioso quanto dar à luz uma imagem cinematográfica, uma pintura ou mesmo assinar um conceito. Veronica Damasceno
