O volume 1 da coleção "A pesquisa científica e seus desafios nas Ciências do Movimento Humano" focaliza o impacto da pandemia de covid-19 sobre a vida pessoal e profissional de pais, mães e filhos/as que também são docentes e pesquisadores/as. Diante da realidade pandêmica que assolou o mundo, a pós-graduação foi atingida no seu cerne, e os projetos de investigação tiveram que ser reinventados, cancelados, suspensos ou reformulados. Um pouco da visão de quem faz pesquisa em diferentes campos de atuação é retratado neste volume, expondo os diversos contextos que foram absorvidos por uma realidade digna de filme de ficção. O livro apresenta também as estratégias utilizadas para que as pesquisas científicas fossem levadas a cabo no campo das Ciências do Movimento Humano.
Professora, musicista, pioneira e mãe, Rose Mari Bertelli Braunstein levava para as suas aulas o entusiasmo, o amor pela música, a capacidade de despertar em cada um a vontade de descobrir o que cada obra possuía de belo, de inspirador. Ela é a personagem mais importante para se conhecer o surgimento do Bacharelado em Percussão da UFSM. A partir de conversas, pesquisas, dados, relatos, fatos e documentos, o professor Gilmar Goulart escreveu a sua tese, que, agora, virou este livro. A obra é um resgate e documento para a história do segundo curso superior em Percussão no Brasil e também para a história da UFSM. Rose merece ser conhecida, para que essa história não seja perdida e para mostrar a força e determinação dessa mulher notável.

Of all the different areas in computational chemistry, density functional theory (DFT) enjoys the most rapid development. Even at the level of the local density approximation (LDA), which is computationally less demanding, DFT can usually provide better answers than Hartree-Fock formalism for large systems such as clusters and solids. For atoms and molecules, the results from DFT often rival those obtained by ab initio quantum chemistry, partly because larger basis sets can be used. Such encouraging results have in turn stimulated workers to further investigate the formal theory as well as the computational methodology of DFT.This Part II expands on the methodology and applications of DFT. Some of the chapters report on the latest developments (since the publication of Part I in 1995), while others extend the applications to wider range of molecules and their environments. Together, this and other recent review volumes on DFT show that DFT provides an efficient and accurate alternative to traditional quantum chemical methods. Such demonstration should hopefully stimulate frutiful developments in formal theory, better exchange-correlation functionals, and linear scaling methodology.

Assessing health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Children has been a popular topic in recent years worldwide. However, there are several issues/gaps in this research area which need to be addressed. For instance, previous studies on HRQOL of Children populations have normally used HRQOL instruments designed for adults. These measurements may not be suitable for children as they are in a series of cognitive developmental stages and have different perspectives towards the relative importance of HRQOL dimensions. In order to tackle this issue and to accurately measure children’s HRQOL, a set of dedicated HRQOL instruments should be first developed and validated. The validated instruments could then be applied to the population measuring their HRQOL. In addition, the HRQOL information collected could be translated into health utility score if it is measured by utility instruments (e.g., EQ-5D-Y) for the population. Moreover, the relevant studies on these issues is still lacking especially in non-western countries.

The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology provides an up-to-date description of the Portuguese phonological system, including a thorough account of the fundamental concepts, data, and previous explanations, as well as the status quaestionis, directions for future research, and further reading. Divided into five parts with contributions from leading international scholars and rising stars, the book’s 23 chapters provide a thorough account of the Portuguese sound system and a range of perspectives on Portuguese phonology. This is the most comprehensive volume on Portuguese phonology written in English, and it delves into the most pressing issues and challenges regarding a wide variety of topics, such as segmental and suprasegmental phenomena; aspects concerning the interfaces between phonology and other linguistic domains; and issues on synchronic variation, diachronic change, acquisition, and the teaching of Portuguese speech prosody to non-native learners. This in-depth resource will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students of Portuguese language and linguistics, as well as those interested in phonology and linguistics more broadly.
Global health security, focused on short-term response efforts, fails to consider the differential impacts of outbreaks on women. Feminist Global Health Security highlights the ways in which women are disadvantaged by global health security policy, through engagement with feminist international relations concepts of visibility, social and stratified reproduction, intersectionality, and structural violence. Wenham ultimately asks, what would global health policy look like if it were to take gender seriously, and how would this impact global disease control?
This book is intended as an introduction to classical water wave theory for the college senior or first year graduate student. The material is self-contained; almost all mathematical and engineering concepts are presented or derived in the text, thus making the book accessible to practicing engineers as well.The book commences with a review of fluid mechanics and basic vector concepts. The formulation and solution of the governing boundary value problem for small amplitude waves are developed and the kinematic and pressure fields for short and long waves are explored. The transformation of waves due to variations in depth and their interactions with structures are derived. Wavemaker theories...
