The three volumes IFIP AICT 438, 439, and 440 constitute the refereed proceedings of the International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2014, held in Ajaccio, France, in September 2014. The 233 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 271 submissions. They are organized in 6 parts: knowledge discovery and sharing; knowledge-based planning and scheduling; knowledge-based sustainability; knowledge-based services; knowledge-based performance improvement, and case studies.
Os mecanismos da nova era estão subordinados a uma alteração profunda. Até que sejam estabelecidas essas características, outras feições relacionadas à vida humana se transformarão também para consolidar a evolução dos aspectos espirituais que o planeta apresentará em seu futuro. Tudo mudará vertiginosamente. As necessidades, as estruturas perispirituais e neuropsíquicas, o trabalho, o tempo, as características sociais e os próprios recursos da natureza material se tornarão bem mais sutis. O que chamamos de regeneração é exatamente essa mutação de realidades dos mundos que saem de protótipos materiais para os de condições espirituais. É por isso que os homens modernos, nas suas pesquisas junto a outros mundos, não conseguem ver além do que suas condições materiais permitem, sem poder perceber os aspectos transcendentes que marcam as naturezas reais dos outros orbes. Enquanto permanecer com este comportamento imediatista, na maneira de pensar e agir, o homem terreno estará longe de antever a grandeza do Cosmos com os olhos do espírito.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Explainable, Transparent Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, EXTRAAMAS 2019, held in Montreal, Canada, in May 2019. The 12 revised and extended papers presented were carefully selected from 23 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on explanation and transparency; explainable robots; opening the black box; explainable agent simulations; planning and argumentation; explainable AI and cognitive science.
The two volumes IFIP AICT 397 and 398 constitute the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2012, held in Rhodes, Greece, in September 2012. The 182 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the two volumes. They are organized in 6 parts: sustainability; design, manufacturing and production management; human factors, learning and innovation; ICT and emerging technologies in production management; product and asset lifecycle management; and services, supply chains and operations.
O relato de como um jovem nascido na periferia de São Paulo superou o racismo e a homofobia para lutar pelos próprios direitos — e de muitos outros como ele —, acompanhado de diversas entrevistas com personalidades LGBTQIA+. Samuel Gomes teve uma infância parecida com a de vários outros meninos nascidos na periferia das grandes cidades brasileiras: dividia o quintal de sua casa com muitos parentes, estudava em uma escola do bairro e via seus pais batalharem para dar um futuro melhor a ele e à sua irmã. Porém, logo começou a perceber que era diferente daqueles que o cercavam: ele sentia atração por outros meninos. Assim, o medo de ser quem é foi um fio condutor do seu amadureci...

This book will be the first proceedings of a series of symposia on the exchange of best practices and research in engineering design and manufacture organized focusing on Europe and Asia by a group of researchers from European and Asian Universities working on several EU funded projects. This very first book will explore the difference and communalities of European and Asian research and practice in this very important field. With the rapid economic expansion of Asia and the gradual shift of manufacturing from Europe and the USA to Asia, this Symposium will provide a timely forum for leading researchers in the field to exchange their research findings and experience. The book covers this first symposium, and aims to give insights to these on-going changes, shows their implications from design and manufacture perspective for both Europe and Asia and identifies new research topics to improve industrial practice. The primary audience of this book are researchers in the field of engineering design and manufacture, industrialists and business persons who are interested in finding out the state of design and manufacture in Asia and Europe.
An in-depth look at the Portuguese Jews of Jamaica and their connections to broader European and Atlantic trade networks Based on last wills and testaments composed by Jamaican Jews between 1673 and 1815, this book explores the social and familial experiences of one of the most critical yet understudied nodes of the Atlantic Portuguese Jewish Diaspora. Stanley Mirvis examines how Jamaica's Jews put down roots as traders, planters, pen keepers, physicians, fishermen, and metalworkers, and reveals how their presence shaped the colony as much as settlement in the tropical West Indies transformed the lives of the island's Jews.
