Estudos sobre histórias em quadrinhos e atitudes - Parte I
Nós apresentamos neste livro pesquisas cujo objetivo foi verificar o efeito da leitura de histórias em quadrinhos (ou de eventos que ocorrem nessas histórias) sobre a avaliação de personagens fictícios, sobre a atitude dos participantes das pesquisas em relação aos personagens. Dois experimentos bônus, que avaliaram atitudes, mas não com histórias em quadrinhos, foram também descritos neste livro. O Experimento 11 apresentou objetivo similar, entretanto, ao invés de história em quadrinhos como variável independente, utilizou-se vídeos de influenciadores de redes sociais. O Experimento 12 investigou também o fenômeno da atitude, entretanto, utilizou um procedimento clássico na literatura, o procedimento de pareamento ao modelo. Nos experimentos de 1 a 11, a atitude foi medida utilizando-se Escalas de Diferencial Semântico. Os resultados encontrados corroboram resultados de pesquisas anteriores acerca da mudanças de atitudes, histórias em quadrinhos e paradigma de equivalência.
Cell Death, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurogenerative diseases encompass very different pathologies, which can be demyelinating or nondemyelinating, but which have common mechanisms such as cell death, oxidative stress and inflammation. A better understanding of these mechanisms allows the search for biomarkers and targets for new therapies. This special issue brings together different data on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, detailing the mechanisms of cell death (necroptosis, ferroptosis), oxidative stress and inflammation but also the possibilities of neuroprotection via 5 research articles and 6 review articles. The different reviews allow us to take stock of cell death, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the context of neurodegenerative diseases but also in relation to other pathologies where these processes are involved.
Organization and Organizing
Recipient of the '2013 Top Edited Book Award', by the Organizational Communication Division of the National Communication Association (USA) This timely collection addresses central issues in organizational communication theory on the nature of organizing and organization. The unique strength of this volume is its contribution to the conception of materiality, agency, and discourse in current theorizing and research on the constitution of organizations. It addresses such questions as: To what extent should the materiality of texts and artifacts be accounted for in a process view of organization? What part does materiality play in the process by which organizations achieve continuity in time a...
Emerging Role of Lipids in Metabolism and Disease
Even though initially considered as a passive means for storing energy, lipids are now regarded as multifaceted molecules with crucial structural and functional activities. For instance, some of them play essential roles as key components of cell membranes whereas others act as signaling molecules in the regulation of cell homeostasis. In recent years, lipid research has attracted increasing interest because of the involvement of this class of compounds in human health. Indeed, a plethora of pathological conditions are characterized by alterations in lipid metabolism, such as cardiovascular diseases and brain disorders. This Special Issue is a collection of papers from different experts in lipid research, with the aim of providing new insights into the physiopathological involvement of lipids and their impact on human health. This collection also demonstrates the usefulness of interdisciplinary approaches in the development of novel methods to study and manipulate lipid metabolism, which may represent an attractive target for designing effective therapeutic strategies to counteract numerous pathologies.
