Journeys into Terror
Since ancient times, explorers and adventurers have captured popular imagination with their frightening narratives of travels gone wrong. Usually, these stories heavily feature the exotic or unknown, and can transform any journey into a nightmare. Stories of such horrific happenings have a long and rich history that stretches from folktales to contemporary media narratives.This work presents eighteen essays that explore the ways in which these texts reflect and shape our fear and fascination surrounding travel, posing new questions about the "geographies of evil" and how our notions of "terrible places" and their inhabitants change over time. The volume's five thematic sections offer new insights into how power, privilege, uncanny landscapes, misbegotten quests, hellish commutes and deadly vacations can turn our travels into terror.
Big Business and Dictatorships in Latin America
This edited volume studies the relationship between big business and the Latin American dictatorial regimes during the Cold War. The first section provides a general background about the contemporary history of business corporations and dictatorships in the twentieth century at the international level. The second section comprises chapters that analyze five national cases (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Peru), as well as a comparative analysis of the banking sector in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay). The third section presents six case studies of large companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Central America. This book is crucial reading because it provides the first comprehensive analysis of a key yet understudied topic in Cold War history in Latin America.
Biomedical Computing for Breast Cancer Detection and Diagnosis
Despite success with treatment when diagnosed early, breast cancer is still one of the most fatal forms of cancer for women. Imaging diagnosis is still one of the most efficient ways to detect early breast changes with mammography among the most used techniques. However, there are other techniques that have emerged as alternatives or even complementary tests in the early detection of breast lesions (e.g., breast thermography and electrical impedance tomography). Artificial intelligence can be used to optimize image diagnosis, increasing the reliability of the reports and supporting professionals who do not have enough knowledge or experience to make good diagnoses. Biomedical Computing for B...
Revista Continente Multicultural #268
Em 2009, neste mesmo mês de abril, na edição número 100, a Continente estreava um novo projeto gráfico. Na capa, perguntávamos: "Quem lê tanta notícia?". No material, que tomava como gancho a comemoração do Dia do Jornalista (7 de abril), refletimos sobre a atividade jornalística, especialmente no campo cultural, num momento cheio de mudanças na prática da profissão. Agora, mais de 10 anos depois, voltamos a olhar para o fazer jornalístico, na reportagem assinada por Débora Nascimento e Luciana Veras. Mas a pergunta agora é outra. A crise do setor é uma realidade vivida e sentida por todos, uma constatação. O que nos interessa, hoje, é pensar, nesse cenário ainda mais t...
