This study is about the macroeconomic effects of positive externalities or industrial spillovers around advanced production. The case explored is the “technology di- dend” around Swedish aircraft industry, and in particular around the aircraft ma- facturer Saab, and the major industrial project of the JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft. The project is partly an updating of my book (in Swedish) Technology 1 Generator or a National Presige Project from 1995, but extends the analysis in s- eral directions. The study includes a chapter on spillovers from advanced production in an industrially developing economy, South Africa, that has acquired the JAS 39 Gripen for its Air Force. There ...
The Poetics of the Avant-garde in Literature, Arts, and Philosophy presents a range of chapters written by a highly international group of scholars from disciplines such as literary studies, arts, theatre, and philosophy to analyze the ambitions of avant-garde artists. Together, these essays highlight the interdisciplinary scope of the historic avant-garde and the interconnectedness of its artists. Contributors analyze topics such as abstraction and estrangement across the arts, the imaginary dialogue between Lev Yakubinsky and Mikhail Bakhtin, the problem of the “masculine ethos” in the Russian avant-garde, the transformation of barefoot dancing, Kazimir Malevich’s avant-garde poetic experimentations, the ecological imagination of the Polish avant-garde, science-fiction in the Russian avant-garde cinema, and the almost forgotten history of the avant-garde children’s literature in Germany. The chapters in this collection open a new critical discourse about the avant-garde movement in Europe and reshape contemporary understandings of it.

Desktop Grid Computing presents common techniques used in numerous models, algorithms, and tools developed during the last decade to implement desktop grid computing. These techniques enable the solution of many important sub-problems for middleware design, including scheduling, data management, security, load balancing, result certification, and fault tolerance. The book’s first part covers the initial ideas and basic concepts of desktop grid computing. The second part explores challenging current and future problems. Each chapter presents the sub-problems, discusses theoretical and practical issues, offers details about implementation and experiments, and includes references to further reading and notes. One of the first books to give a thorough and up-to-date presentation of this topic, this resource describes various approaches and models as well as recent trends that underline the evolution of desktop grids. It balances the theory of designing desktop grid middleware and architecture with applications and real-world deployment on large-scale platforms.

Esse livro originou-se da dissertação de mestrado produzida com apoio da CAPES e defendida na Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo em abril de 2022. A obra trata das relações entre literatura e história e do modo como a mescla entre ambas pode contribuir para ressignificar as reflexões sobre a violência de Estado e o trauma social vivido em períodos ditatoriais. O conteúdo principal dos capítulos é a análise de narrativas literárias latino-americanas (Brasil e Chile) que abordam as ditaduras militares dos anos 1960/70, com foco no modo como a arte, com suas potencialidades próprias, pode interferir no real para repensar o passado e transformar o presente.
O processo de formação continuada no território brasileiro a cada dia se reinventa e se conecta nas milhares de escolas que convivem diretamente com as metodologias e nuances dos processos formativos. A cada discussão teórica, aprimoramos e refletimos sobre como essa prática interfere diretamente no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem, contribuindo para a formação de cidadãos/ãs críticos/as e que são capazes de mudar a realidade em que vivem. A formação dos/as professores no Brasil é hoje regida por estudos, documentos e programas que visam o aperfeiçoamento da prática e a reflexão da teoria. A 4a edição da Coletânea Almanaque de Formação Continuada do Professor nos a...
