O livro investiga as configurações do homoerotismo e da homofobia em quatro narrativas juvenis contemporâneas: Eu é um outro (2014), de Hermes Bernardi Júnior; O namorado do papai ronca (2012), de Plínio Camillo; One man guy (2015), de Michael Barakiva; e Garoto encontra garoto (2015), de David Levithan. O livro propõe uma discussão, por meio da análise das narrativas, do homoerotismo masculino e da homofobia nos diversos espaços de sociabilidade, provenientes de estruturas sociais, que regulamentam a heteronormatividade como natural, gerando assim desigualdade, violência e discriminação entre os indivíduos LGBTI+.
The Atlas of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Differential Diagnosis is a complete course through the most important sexual diseases. Counting with about 1000 figures, this atlas focuses on the peculiar characteristics of each of these diseases and in the relevant aspects for a proper differential diagnosis. It is authored by MDs with a deep knowledge in the field, providing a very comprehensive casuistry. Throughout the book the reader will have access to hundreds of pictures discussing about the most important sexually transmitted diseases. Each chapter will approach a different disease, providing a broad sort of images, since a microscopic perspective until the most classical genital lesions and characteristics, considering also systemic manifestations. Every figure is presented with a descriptive and instructive legend, providing the reader with all possible related information. Additionally, every chapter begins with an explanatory and introductory text disclosing about key aspects of the disease, such as etiopathogenesis; clinical manifestation; clinical, laboratorial and differential diagnosis; treatment and prevention.
Examines the full range of humanities and social science scholarship on people of African descent in Latin America.
Convocamos as/os leitoras/es a “desler, tresler, contraler e enlear-se” (n)os variados gestos de interpretação materializados nos artigos aqui compilados, os quais foram apresentados no IX Seminário de Estudos em Análise do Discurso (SEAD), que teve como tema geral A Análise do Discurso e suas condições de produção: 1969-2019. O tema surgiu, por um lado, como uma forma de marcar os 50 anos do surgimento da teoria, mostrando o legado de Michel Pêcheux, sua atualidade e seu papel na consolidação da AD no Brasil, e, por outro, como uma maneira de indicar que a noção de condições de produção tem um lugar de centralidade nos estudos discursivos, mediante a qual podem ser percebidas as relações de forças que constituem toda e qualquer prática discursiva.
Like other sciences and engineering disciplines, software engineering requires a cycle of model building, experimentation, and learning. Experiments are valuable tools for all software engineers who are involved in evaluating and choosing between different methods, techniques, languages and tools. The purpose of Experimentation in Software Engineering is to introduce students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners to empirical studies in software engineering, using controlled experiments. The introduction to experimentation is provided through a process perspective, and the focus is on the steps that we have to go through to perform an experiment. The book is divided into three parts. The...
This book provides a general and comprehensible overview of imbalanced learning. It contains a formal description of a problem, and focuses on its main features, and the most relevant proposed solutions. Additionally, it considers the different scenarios in Data Science for which the imbalanced classification can create a real challenge. This book stresses the gap with standard classification tasks by reviewing the case studies and ad-hoc performance metrics that are applied in this area. It also covers the different approaches that have been traditionally applied to address the binary skewed class distribution. Specifically, it reviews cost-sensitive learning, data-level preprocessing metho...
This is the first complete modern survey of the institution of slavery in Brazil and how it affected the lives of enslaved Africans. It is based on major new research on the institution of slavery and the role of Africans and their descendants in Brazil. This book aims to introduce the reader to this latest research, both to elucidate the Brazilian experience and to provide a basis for comparisons with all other American slave systems.
The two-volume set LNAI 12319 and 12320 constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2020, held in Rio Grande, Brazil, in October 2020. The total of 90 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 228 submissions. The contributions are organized in the following topical section: Part I: Evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, constrains and search, combinatorial and numerical optimization; neural networks, deep learning and computer vision; and text mining and natural language processing. Part II: Agent and multi-agent systems, planning and reinforcement learning; knowledge representation, logic and fuzzy systems; machine learning and data mining; and multidisciplinary artificial and computational intelligence and applications. Due to the Corona pandemic BRACIS 2020 was held as a virtual event.
