The book addresses contemporary challenges related to chronicity in the context of life and health. The book is structured across 11 core axes to aid healthcare professionals in understanding the topic. The axes address issues such as health promotion and quality of life, the transition from ephemerality to chronicity throughout life, the presence of chronicity in childhood and adolescence, violence against transgender people, the coexistence of communicable and non-communicable chronic diseases in the community, work-related chronic diseases, chronicity in the elderly, and strategies for sustainable development in this context.

In summary, the book aims to present a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective on chronicity, providing valuable insights for the teaching, research, extension, and care sectors.
A presença do protestantismo no Brasil cresceu de maneira notável ao longo do século XIX, mas como tudo começou? A leitura deste livro oferece uma compreensão abrangente de como o protestantismo encontrou solo fértil para seu desenvolvimento no país. A chegada das igrejas protestantes foi precedida por expedições de reconhecimento do Brasil, incluindo viagens artísticas, científicas e de missionários protestantes ávidos por conhecer esta nação. Esses viajantes documentaram o Brasil por meio de desenhos, relatórios científicos e descrições dos costumes e cultura locais. Dado o atraso tecnológico e a visão de mundo considerada distante dos valores e ética evangélica, as ...
Apresentamos neste livro algumas considerações acerca do trabalho desenvolvido por Oliveira Vianna nas instâncias do Estado Brasileiro entre os anos de 1932 e 1940.

This book examines the emergence of authoritarian populist regimes, analyzing Brazil as a case study. The authors explain how the tactics employed by the Bolsonaro administration to dismantle bureaucracy and public policies, especially labour and social policies, find expression in the fiscal austerity measures recently inscribed in the Federal Constitution: a counter-democratic device employed by technical and financial elites to systemically derail the social protection system. Through this in-depth case study, the book presents new theoretical arguments and concepts that can be useful to understand the dynamics of such new regimes, and discussing similar cases in other contexts. Democrati...

Overall, studies show an existence of important sex-specific differences in several aspects of psychiatric disorders such as etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation and therapeutics. In this book, recognized experts present the current state of knowledge on this topic, providing a reliable, accurate and comprehensive clinical guide to women's mental health. The book will steer clear of an in-depth discussion of genetics and sex-based differences to focus quickly and na...
