O termo gamificação compreende a aplicação de elementos de jogos em atividades de não jogos. Assim, embora a palavra tenha sido utilizado pela primeira vez em 2010, a gamificação tem sido aplicada há muito tempo. Na educação, por exemplo, a criança podia ter seu trabalho reconhecido com estrelinhas (recompensa) ou as palavras iam se tornando cada vez mais difíceis de serem soletradas no ditado da professora (níveis adaptados às habilidades dos usuários). Embora esses sejam exemplos simples, é possível que você, leitor, tenha lembrado de uma experiência parecida e, portanto, testemunhado atividades gamificadas. O que mudou foi a compreensão do processo, sua relevância para a educação e, principalmente, a responsabilidade em sua aplicação. Para colaborar com as pesquisas que estão surgindo sobre o tema, este E-book propõe reunir conceitos, indagações, aplicações e respostas sobre a gamificação e a educação.

This book describes the fauna of the Pernambuco Endemism Center in Brazil's Northern Atlantic Forest, an understudied global biodiversity hotspot. Through fifteen curated chapters, it provides the latest information about the fauna of the northern portion of the Atlantic Forest, gathering important information about the faunal composition of the region for the first time. The chapters address animal biodiversity including terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) and invertebrates (ants, butterflies, dung beetles, hervestmen, spiders, and termites). All chapters provide species lists, taxonomic aspects and richness analysis. Conservation of specific animal groups is also discussed. Finally, the book discusses human impacts on the forest and its biodiversity, emphasizing the need for conservation of this highly impacted ecosystem.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Ceticismos Modernos mostra que temos na Modernidade não um "ceticismo moderno", herdeiro e sucessor do antigo, mas vários desdobramentos desse pensamento e que essa retomada levou não só a uma reformulação e reinterpretação do ceticismo antigo, mas deu origem a novas formas de pensar e de refletir sobre as mudanças radicais ocorridas nesse contexto como a Reforma Protestante e a Revolução Científica. Essa discussão cética perpassa todo o pensamento moderno, da Filosofia à Ciência, da Teologia à Política e ao Direito. A formação do pensamento moderno, não só filosófico, tem, portanto, no ceticismo, ou melhor, nos "ceticismos", sua principal chave interpretativa.

The São Paulo Law School, the oldest institution of higher learning in Brazil, has long been the chief training center for that country’s leadership. For the members of the school’s secret Burschenschaft society, the training consisted principally in leading demonstrations for liberal causes, such as the abolition of slavery and the overthrow of the monarchy. During the Old Republic (1889–1930), the Brazilian presidency and other high posts in Rio de Janeiro were usually occupied by alumni of the powerful society, while its members in São Paulo continued to agitate for political reform. But in the 1920s, when they formed the Nationalist League and the Democratic Party, schisms result...
