A obra "Direitos Humanos em múltiplas perspectivas" é tecida no diálogo e na crença absoluta de que a educação transforma pessoas para que elas transformem o mundo, como afirmava o educador Paulo Freire. Trata-se de um livro sobre Direitos Humanos, pensado e apresentado por autores das mais diferentes áreas, em que a partir de suas trajetórias como cidadãos, pesquisadores e profissionais éticos, cada um buscou desenvolver reflexão – histórica, jurídica, filosófica, ética – sobre como este importante conceito, mais do que nunca, deve atravessar a diversidade de conhecimentos e o compromisso com a vida. Esta publicação é destinada a estudantes, pesquisadores, professores, profissionais e interessados pelo tema.
(Im)permanências: História oral, mulheres e envelhecimento na pandemia, obra publicada em dois volumes e com a participação de 74 pesquisadoras e pesquisadores de diversas regiões do Brasil, é o resultado da construção coletiva de um acervo de entrevistas de história oral durante a pandemia de Covid-19. São relatos de mulheres plurais sobre seus processos de envelhecimento, que expressam a complexidade e a variedade de suas experiências. Vivências, medos, esperanças, memória e luta conjugam-se em um conjunto singular de testemunhos sobre nosso tempo.
"Quando começaram as 'aventuras' dos frequentadores do Parque de Diversões Shanghai no Brasil?" Ainda ativo na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro, o "Shanghai" chegou ao Brasil em 1934. Em uma trajetória itinerante e fixa, que atravessa décadas e variados lugares, iniciada por um empreendedor estrangeiro que já mantinha negócios semelhantes na América do Sul, o Parque Shanghai obteve enorme repercussão social por suas audaciosas ações no campo do entretenimento. "Montanhas-russas quilométricas", dentre outros equipamentos monumentais e atrações excêntricas, compunham sua cartela de diversões já nos anos 1930. O bom trânsito e as parcerias firmadas com destacadas autoridades políticas, como Getúlio Vargas, contribuíram para sua visibilidade e consolidação no país.

The Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (SBIA) has been organized by the Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) since 1984. In order to promote research in Artificial Intelligence and scientific interaction among Brazilian AI researchers and practitioners, and with their counterparts worldwide, it is being organized as an international forum since 1993. The SBIA proceedings have been published by Springer-Verlag as a part of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series since 1995. The XIVth SBIA, held in 1998 at the PUCRS Campus in Porto Alegre, has maintained the international tradition and standards previously established:...
Based on careful analysis of burden of disease and the costs ofinterventions, this second edition of 'Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries, 2nd edition' highlights achievable priorities; measures progresstoward providing efficient, equitable care; promotes cost-effectiveinterventions to targeted populations; and encourages integrated effortsto optimize health. Nearly 500 experts - scientists, epidemiologists, health economists,academicians, and public health practitioners - from around the worldcontributed to the data sources and methodologies, and identifiedchallenges and priorities, resulting in this integrated, comprehensivereference volume on the state of health in developing countries.
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
This e-book brings together 13 chapters written by aviation English researchers and practitioners settled in six different countries, representinginstitutions and universities from around the globe. This e-book is an offshoot of the 8th GEIA Seminar, that counts on the collaboration of GEIA and ICAEA researchers, as well as guest speakers. It brings together thirteen chapters focused on aviation language description, teaching, and assessment, written by practitioners from several institutions around the globe. One of our guests and a keynote speaker, Prof. Eric Friginal, added the excellent contribution of his graduate students from Georgia State University, in the USA, and kindly wrote the ...
