Brazilian Estuaries
This book presents the main drivers of benthic structure and processes in estuaries from the 8,000 km-Brazilian coast, assesses the influence of natural and human disturbance, and discusses their ecological importance and management needs. Estuaries are unique coastal ecosystems often with low biodiversity that sustain and provide essential ecological services to mankind. These ecosystems include a variety of habitats with their own sediment and fauna dynamics, all of them globally altered or threatened by human activities. Mangroves, saltmarshes, tidal flats and other confined estuarine systems are under increasing stress by overfishing and other human activities leading to habitat and species loss. Combined changes in estuarine hydromorphology and in climate pose severe threats to estuarine ecosystems at a global scale.
Creating Through Mind and Emotions
The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) Creating Through Mind and Emotions were compiled to establish a multidisciplinary platform for presenting, interacting, and disseminating research. This platform also aims to foster the awareness and discussion on Creating Through Mind and Emotions, focusing on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design and Social Sciences, and its importance and benefits for the sense of identity, both individual and communal. The idea of Creating Through Mind and Emotions has been a powerful motor for development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts.
Architecture, City, Environment
PLEA is a network of individuals sharing expertise in the arts, sciences, planning and design of the built environment. It serves as an international, interdisciplinary forum to promote discourse on environmental quality in architecture and planning. This 17th PLEA international conference addresses sustainable design with respect to architecture, city and environment at the turn of the millennium. The central aim of the conference is to explore the interrelationships and integration of architecture, city and environment. The Proceedings will be of interest to all those involved in bioclimatic design and the application of natural and innovative techniques to architecture and planning. The conference is organised by the Martin Centre for Architectural and Urban Studies, University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Programme for Industry, University of Cambridge.
Oxidative Stress in Aquatic Ecosystems
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into account specific habitat conditions and how they affect susceptibility to ROS damage. A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with respect to applicability and constraints for different types of research. The authors are all internationally recognized experts in particular fields of oxidative stress research. This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students, researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health professionals, and decision makers.
Astrologia em diálogo com a Ciência e a Fé
De um lado, a interdição milenar contra a Astrologia, situando-a entre as tentativas de “dominar o tempo, a história e, finalmente, os homens, ao mesmo tempo que é um desejo de conluio com os poderes ocultos”, como estabelece o Catecismo da Igreja Católica. De outro, o fato de que, com maior ou menor discrição, em todos os tempos conhecidos a aproximação com a Astrologia ocorreu, mesmo que isso produza sentimentos de incômodo por possível desobediência às orientações das igrejas, mesquitas ou sinagogas. No cenário ocidental contemporâneo, notadamente Brasil, Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, a Astrologia vem cada vez mais, desde a primeira metade do século 20, mesclando cami...
Human Interface and the Management of Information. Designing Information
This two-volume set LNCS 12184 and 12185 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Thematic Area on Human Interface and the Management of Information, HIMI 2020, held as part of HCI International 2020 in Copenhagen, Denmark.* HCII 2020 received a total of 6326 submissions, of which 1439 papers and 238 posters were accepted for publication after a careful reviewing process. The 72 papers presented in the two volumes were organized in the following topical sections: Part I: information presentation and visualization; service design and management; and information in VR and AR. Part II: recommender and decision support systems; information, communication, relationality and learning; supporting work, collaboration and creativity; and information in intelligent systems and environments. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coordenação pedagógica na Bahia
Este livro reúne textos escritos por coordenadoras(es) pedagógicas(os). Na contemporaneidade é preciso continuar a discussão sobre o suporte direto à docência, refletindo sobre quais aspectos podemos tratar para fortalecer a coordenação pedagógica, bem como os processos de formação permanente e em serviço das(os) trabalhadoras(es) em educação, além do avanço no processo de ensino aprendizagem das(os) nossas(os) alunas(os). No âmbito da organização desse livro, um dos objetivos foi, e é, valorizar as vozes daquelas(es) que atuam na coordenação pedagógica e muito contribuem para o dia a dia da educação no estado da Bahia, e por que não dizer, em nosso país. Essas vozes estão expressas por intermédio desses textos que já não são mais nossos, e sim, de todo leitor e leitora que vier dialogar junto conosco. O objetivo desse livro é que possamos trocar conhecimentos com demais coordenadoras(es) pedagógicas(os) e mostrar que não estamos sozinhas(os). Vamos juntas(os) avançando em busca da educação que queremos, que valorize nossas(os) alunas(os) e todas(os) as(os) trabalhadoras(es) em educação.
