This handbook offers a comprehensive review of intellectual disabilities (ID). It examines historical perspectives and foundational principles in the field. The handbook addresses philosophy of care for individuals with ID, as well as parent and professional issues and organizations, staffing, and working on multidisciplinary teams. Chapters explore issues of client protection, risk factors of ID, basic research issues, and legal concerns. In addition, chapters include information on evidence-based assessments and innovative treatments to address a variety of behaviors associated with ID. The handbook provides an in-depth analysis of comorbid physical disorders, such as cerebral palsy, epile...
Este livro é resultado das atividades científicas desenvolvidas durante o III Simpósio Internacional do Grupo de Pesquisa “Avaliação da Fala e da Linguagem” – Perspectiva Interdisciplinar em Fonoaudiologia; II Encontro de Pesquisadores em Linguagem; e III Congresso Brasileiro de Fonoaudiologia e Genética dos Distúrbios da Comunicação. Este evento foi realizado no período de 16 a 18 de maio de 2019, na Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho - UNESP, no município de Marília - SP, sob minha coordenação. O Simpósio teve por objetivo promover um debate sobre temas contemporâneos em Avaliação da Fala e da Linguagem e a intersecção de grandes áreas do conhecimento, que compartilham o mesmo objeto de pesquisa – A Comunicação Humana e seus transtornos.
É urgente a necessidade de aumentar a compreensão dos profissionais da saúde, em especial daqueles que lidam diretamente com comportamentos adictivos, sobre a sexualidade, a saúde sexual e reprodutiva, a diversidade sexual, o comportamento sexual de risco (como chemsex), a disfunção sexual e tantas outras interfaces com os usuários de álcool e outras drogas. Assim, este guia com 22 capítulos contou com a participação de especialistas do tema Sexualidade e Dependência Química, tendo sido concebido principalmente para profissionais da saúde (enfermeiros, médicos clínicos gerais, psiquiatras, ginecologistas e urologistas, psicólogos, sexólogos, terapeutas ocupacionais, acompan...
This book highlights the current limitations of biogas production and yield and new avenues to improving them. Biogas production and yield are among the most important renewable energy targets for our world. Pursuing an innovative and biotechnological approach, the book presents alternative sources for biogas production and explores a broad range of aspects, including: pre-treatment of substrates, accelerators (enzyme-mediated) and inhibitors involved in the process of obtaining biogas and its yield, design specifications for digesters/modified digesters, managing biogas plants, microbial risk and slurry management, energy balance and positive climatic impacts of the biogas production chain, and the impacts on Human, Animal and Environmental Health (“One Health” concept for the biogas chain).
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs, which have recently garnered notable attention from both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are founded on the principle of applying a graph-based abstraction to data, and are now broadly deployed in scenarios that require integrating and extracting value from multiple, diverse sources of data at large scale. The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced ...
Insects, when studied from the ecological perspective, provide a great opportunity for scientific studies emphasizing population theory. The simple fact of being successful organisms for their ability to colonize different habitats or even for their high reproductive potential, increases the interest of ecologists in conducting studies focused on population and community level. Mathematical models are powerful tools that can capture the essence of many biological systems and investigate ecological patterns associated to ecological stability dependent on endogenous and exogenous factors. This proposal comes from the idea of adding experiences of researchers interested in working at the interface between mathematical and computation theory and problems centered on entomology, showing how mathematical modelling can be an important tool for understanding population dynamics, behavior, pest management, spatial structure and conservation.
