Civil Structural Health Monitoring
This volume gathers the latest advances and innovations in the field of structural health monitoring, as presented at the 8th Civil Structural Health Monitoring Workshop (CSHM-8), held on March 31–April 2, 2021. It discusses emerging challenges in civil SHM and more broadly in the fields of smart materials and intelligent systems for civil engineering applications. The contributions cover a diverse range of topics, including applications of SHM to civil structures and infrastructures, innovative sensing solutions for SHM, data-driven damage detection techniques, nonlinear systems and analysis techniques, influence of environmental and operational conditions, aging structures and infrastructures in hazardous environments, and SHM in earthquake prone regions. Selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, they will spur novel research directions and foster future multidisciplinary collaborations.
Public Theology in Brazil
This book brings social and cultural issues to the fore that are especially important for, but not exclusive to, the Brazilian religious context. How to deal with cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity? What is the role of religious education in public schools? Is there a convergence between human rights, religion, and theology? In what way have churches and social movements contributed toward the res publica? The book's contributors discuss these issues in dialogue with the concept of public theology, evaluating its pertinence and shaping its meaning in a Latin American perspective. (Series: Theology in the Public Square / Theologie in der Offentlichkeit - Vol. 6)
Freshwater Access from a Human Rights Perspective
Insufficient access to a basic water supply is not an unavoidable consequence of water scarcity. In fact, arid countries possess enough resources to fulfil the basic water needs of their populations and there are people in water rich countries suffering from water stress, too. Thus, insufficient freshwater access mainly can be seen as a problem of allocation and mismanagement. This book comprehensively analyses the appropriateness of a human rights-based approach in safeguarding basic water supplies and determines its legal basis in international law. Arriving at the conclusion that international water law does not adequately consider individual water needs, the study identifies applicable human rights and examines the concrete standard of protection they provide. In view of the deficits of current international water and human rights law, the study discusses concepts deemed to strengthen a human rights-based approach to freshwater access by considering both their formal legal appropriateness as well as their suitability in legal reality.

Dignity, Degrading Treatment and Torture in Human Rights Law
Although scholars have shown longstanding interest in the boundaries of interpretation of the right not to be subjected to torture and other prohibited harm, the existing body of work does not sufficiently reflect the significance of the interpretive scope of degrading treatment. This book argues that the degrading treatment element of the right is a crucial site of analysis, in itself and for understanding the parameters of the right as a whole. It addresses how, methodologically, the scope of meaning and application of the right not to be subjected to degrading treatment should best be identified and considers the implications thereof. It systematically examines the diverse aspects of degr...
A educação em direitos humanos nos ambientes escolares e a parceria dos Defensores Públicos
A presente escrita decorre da preocupação com o crescimento do discurso de autoritarismo e intolerância verificados a partir de 2018 no seio da sociedade brasileira, bem como da percepção de certa fragilidade democrática, verificada em especial pelos pedidos de retorno do regime militar veiculados nos diversos veículos de comunicação. Reflete sobre a necessidade de fomento a valores humanísticos/democráticos. Parte da premissa de que a EDH se mostra um instrumento fundamental para a reafirmação desses valores. O livro traz pesquisa desenvolvida no ano de 2022 com dados que demonstram a influência desse cenário na formação de valores pelos adolescentes e no dia a dia da escola. Elenca os desafios enfrentados pelos docentes para a realização dessa educação e as possibilidades de contribuição dos Defensores Públicos, por meio de atividades desenvolvidas a partir de um projeto social de educação. Provoca a Defensoria Pública para maior atuação nessas atividades educativas.
