This book presents new insights into the development of different aspects of petroleum science and engineering. The book contains 19 chapters divided into two main sections: (i) Exploration and Production and (ii) Environmental Solutions. There are 11 chapters in the first section, and the focus is on the topics related to exploration and production of oil and gas, such as characterization of petroleum source rocks, drilling technology, characterization of reservoir fluids, and enhanced oil recovery. In the second section, the special emphasis is on waste technologies and environmental cleanup in the downstream sector. The book written by numerous prominent scholars clearly shows the necessity of the multidisciplinary approach to sustainable development in the petroleum industry and stresses the most updated topics such as EOR and environmental cleanup of fossil fuel wastes.
O presente estudo é voltado para analisar documentos e fontes necessárias que reportam a violência de gênero sofrida por profissionais nas instituições militares da Segurança Pública do Estado do Ceará. Neste ensaio teórico, e ante o exposto, o foco é a mulher militar e sua relação com as dinâmicas de poder e gênero no ambiente de trabalho, sobretudo sob a ótica do assédio e da discriminação.

Desse modo, a metodologia tem estribo na Análise de Discurso Crítica (A...
One of the most extraordinary characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is its capacity to remain within the host's tissues for a long period of time. There is an enormous reservoir of persons latently infected with tuberculosis (LTBI) estimated at about a third of the world's population. From this reservoir arise about 10 million new cases of active TB and more than two million deaths occur annually. Current Diagnosis of Infant Tuberculosis Infection covers problems concerning the diagnosis of LTBI, giving an overview of commercially available options and, unlike most reviews on.
Nesta obra analisa-se a representatividade feminina perante o Supremo Tribunal Federal, quando há audiência pública em demandas que versem sobre direitos da personalidade feminina. Atributos psicofísicos do gênero feminino recebem a proteção jurídica denominada direitos da personalidade feminina. Para defesa desses direitos têm-se instrumentos democráticos, como as audiências públicas, que são abertas ao público e possibilitam a exposição de indivíduos, autoridades na temática, organizações não governamentais, associações civis, desde que previamente cadastradas e habilitadas. Após a exposição , os argumentos serão recepcionados (ou não) e farão parte da decisão processual em questão. Com a palavra, será que realmente são as mulheres quem fazem as exposições, cujas decisões irão impactar tão somente em suas vidas? Será as audiências públicas um instrumento de fácil acesso? O que é lobby feminista perante o Poder Judiciário? Adianta-se que esse lobby é uma democrática ferramenta à disposição das minorias e grupos vulneráveis.
Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders: Social Work, Migration Management and Resistance addresses the topics of social work and international migration, with specific focus on the consequences of EU border externalization policies. The increasingly authoritarian character of EU border management raises a number of issues related to the role of social work within a context that is heavily charged, both ideologically and politically. After theoretically and historically contextualizing externalization with explicit attention to (neo)colonial genealogies of the current migration regimes, this book examines the complex inter-relations of social workers with key actors, namely ...
The ability of future industry to create interactive, flexible and always-on connections between design, manufacturing and supply is an ongoing challenge, affecting competitiveness, efficiency and resourcing. The goal of enterprise interoperability (EI) research is therefore to address the effectiveness of solutions that will successfully prepare organizations for the advent and uptake of new technologies. This volume outlines results and practical concepts from recent and ongoing European research studies in EI, and examines the results of research and discussions cultivated at the I-ESA 2018 conference, “Smart services and business impact of enterprise interoperability”. The conference, designed to encourage collaboration between academic inquiry and real-world industry applications, addressed a number of advanced multidisciplinary topics including Industry 4.0, Big Data, the Internet of Things, Cloud computing, ontology, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and enterprise modelling for future “smart” manufacturing. Readers will find this book to be a source of invaluable knowledge for enterprise architects in a range of industries and organizations.

It specifically and intentionally focuses on theological and philosophical perspectives from within religious traditions, creating space for the religious traditions to find their vo...
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium leprae. The disease may present different clinical forms depending on the immunological status of the host. M. leprae may infect macrophages and Schwann cells, and recent studies have demonstrated that macrophages are fundamental cells for determining the outcome of the disease. Skin lesions from patients with the paucibacillary form of the disease present a predominance of macrophages with a pro-inflammatory phenotype (M1), whereas skin lesions of multibacillary patients present a predominance of anti-inflammatory macrophages (M2). More recently, it was shown that autophagy is responsible for the control of bacillary load in paucibacillary macrophages and that the blockade of autophagy is involved in the onset of acute inflammatory reactional episodes in multibacillary cells. So, strategies that aim to induce autophagy in infected macrophages are promising not only to improve the efficacy of multidrug therapy (MDT) but also to avoid the occurrence of reactional episodes that are responsible for the disabilities observed in leprosy patients.
Pensar a educação: entre partilhas e saberes é mais uma edição da coleção Aspectos da Educação, publicação que reúne pesquisas oriundas da sala de aula e pesquisadores que têm muito a nos auxiliar na caminhada, muitas vezes de luta, mas extremamente necessária, da docência. Afinal, quando pesquisamos, estudamos e divulgamos cientificamente sobre o contexto educacional, damos um passo na esperança de que os saberes se multipliquem e que, a partir deles, os docentes olhem com mais sensibilidade e criticidade para si e para seu entorno. O objetivo: elevar a qualidade da educação.
