Esta obra discute a complexidade e o contexto inerentes à política de avaliação da educação superior brasileira. O Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES) completa duas décadas tentando integrar fundamentos avaliativos contraditórios, ou seja, a avaliação educativa e a avaliação como regulação, sem conseguir realizá-los completamente. Roberto Vasques Rabelo colabora com o debate sobre avaliação da e na educação superior brasileira, sem perder de vista a magnitude do setor privado e a mercantilização nesse segmento educacional. Neste livro o autor, defende a necessidade de reorganização do SINAES com vistas a torná-lo política pedagógica voltada à educação de sujeitos, cursos e instituições, em detrimento das lógicas de fiscalização e supervisão que atualmente dominam seu funcionamento. Destinado a educadores, pesquisadores, gestores universitários e outros interessados na temática, a obra convida o leitor a refletir sobre limites e possibilidades para o aprimoramento da educação superior brasileira.
Este livro trata da escuta de crianças. Uma obra para todos os profissionais que vivenciam a realidade escolar brasileira e os ambientes socioeducativos, e sabem que existem desafios a serem superados para que a escola seja um espaço acolhedor, no qual o ato de escutar, represente uma atitude democrática, conforme defendeu Paulo Freire. Enfrentar o silenciamento é uma urgência. É preciso ler a realidade para transformá-la, e a escuta pedagógica pode contribuir para que ocorram mudanças positivas na sociedade. Assim, esta obra possibilita a compreensão, por parte dos profissionais que atuam junto às crianças, jovens e adultos, de que a escuta é um conhecimento imprescindível para o processo de humanização das relações que se estabelecem entre esses.
This book brings together a collection of studies on Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). Research on Libras began in earnest 20 years ago, around the time that Libras was recognised as a national language of Brazil in 2002. Over the years, more and more deaf researchers have become sign language linguists, and the community of Libras scholars have documented this language and built robust resources for linguistic research. This book provides a selection of studies by these scholars, representing work in a variety of areas from phonology to creative literature.
Desenvolvimento local, turismo e religiosidade vai a fundo na identidade religiosa atribuída à cidade de Natividade, que demarca um conjunto de práticas e manifestações que podem orientar um modelo de desenvolvimento local, no qual as festas religiosas adquirem centralidade. Este livro traz os agenciamentos em torno da Festa do Divino Espírito Santo e da Romaria do Senhor do Bonfim, em que não se tratará de sujeitos ou instituições, mas sim de reconhecer os projetos e quem são os atores envolvidos. A identificação desses agenciamentos, que podem ser individuais, em grupos ou por associações, em torno de um projeto de turismo religioso para a cidade é fundamental para entender os processos que ocorreram ou ocorrem em Natividade.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.

Sean Stroud examines how and why Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail.Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He goe...
An introduction to a broad range of topics in deep learning, covering mathematical and conceptual background, deep learning techniques used in industry, and research perspectives. “Written by three experts in the field, Deep Learning is the only comprehensive book on the subject.” —Elon Musk, cochair of OpenAI; cofounder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Deep learning is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. Because the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs. The hierarchy of concep...
Stingless bees (Meliponini) are the largest and most diverse group of social bees, yet their largely tropical distribution means that they are less studied than their relatives, the bumble bees and honey bees. Stingless bees produce honey and collect pollen from tens of thousands of tropical plant species and, in the process, provide critical pollination services in the tropics. Like many other insects, they are struggling with new human-made challenges like habitat destruction, climate change and new diseases. This book provides an overview of stingless bee biology, with chapters on the evolutionary history, nesting biology, colony organisation and division of labour of stingless bees. In addition, it explores their defence strategies, foraging ecology, and varied communication methods. Accordingly, the book offers an accessible introduction and reference guide for students, researchers and laypeople interested in the biology of bees.
