Food Security and International Relations
People are often surprised to learn that although the current global levels of food production are sufficient to feed all of humanity, the problems of undernourishment increase year by year in many countries. Economic growth, while important, is not a guarantee for reducing hunger. The intensification of income concentration worldwide, in the face of the persistence of millions of hungry families, demonstrates that economic interest is not guided by the needs of humanity. Moreover, the problem of food no longer refers to the lack of food alone. Many people are still unaware that our diets are not simply choices of taste and tradition but the result of international dynamics driven by geopolitical factors, the trajectory of capitalism, and other ulterior forces. The authors deepen the link between international relations and food security by exploring the humanitarian and ethical importance of a solution to the problem of hunger; the role of the state as a strategically relevant actor in achieving food security; and the nature of the problem of food security in a world in which the rationale guiding food production and distribution is a capitalist one.
Amazon Impunity
Sent to Brazil to take down one of the country's most powerful drug lords, Mack Bolan stumbles across two U.S. missionaries taken prisoner by the cartel. But while attempting to extract them, Bolan learns that not everyone wants to be rescued.
Contratação Pública Estratégica
Como se pode notar desde o seu tÃtulo, este livro versa a respeito de tema pouco estudado no Direito brasileiro (Administrativo Econômico) correlacionando os conceitos de contrato administrativo, governo por contratos, polÃticas públicas horizontais e justiça contratual distributiva. Mas basta uma só consideração para confirmamos a importância da leitura desta obra: se antes vislumbrávamos a ideia de descentralização administrativa como o modo pela qual a Administração Pública criava novas pessoas jurÃdicas e lhes atribuÃa especÃficas funções públicas, por meio deste livro podemos constatar que ao redor de nós existe o governo por contratos, uma verdadeira AdministraçÃ...
Handbook on the Politics of International Development

Human-Inspired Computing and its Applications
The two-volume set LNAI 8856 and LNAI 8857 constitutes the proceedings of the 13th Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI 2014, held in Tuxtla, Mexico, in November 2014. The total of 87 papers plus 1 invited talk presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 348 submissions. The first volume deals with advances in human-inspired computing and its applications. It contains 44 papers structured into seven sections: natural language processing, natural language processing applications, opinion mining, sentiment analysis, and social network applications, computer vision, image processing, logic, reasoning, and multi-agent systems, and intelligent tutoring systems. The second volume deals with advances in nature-inspired computation and machine learning and contains also 44 papers structured into eight sections: genetic and evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, machine learning, machine learning applications to audio and text, data mining, fuzzy logic, robotics, planning, and scheduling, and biomedical applications.

Women in Psychiatry 2023: ADHD
At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Psychiatry is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Psychiatry. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Psychiatry research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. Please note: To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
Climate Change-Resilient Agriculture and Agroforestry
This book collects wide-ranging contributions such as case studies, reviews, reports on technological developments, outputs of research/studies, and examples of successful projects, presenting current knowledge and raising awareness to help the agriculture and forestry sectors find solutions for mitigating climate variability and adapting to change. It brings the topic of ecosystem services closer to education and learning, as targeted by the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. Climate change and its impacts on agriculture and agroforestry have been observed across the world during the last 50 years. Increasing temperatures, droughts, biotic stresses and the impacts of extreme events have continuously decreased agroforestry systems’ resilience to the effects of climate change. As such, there is a need to adapt farming and agroforestry systems so as to make them better able to handle ever-changing climate conditions, and to preserve habitats and ecosystems services.
Alcohol Drink Is Not Sin
This book was not written to combat alcoholism. But the lying preaching of Christian leaders who say that drinking wine, beer, or other alcoholic beverages is a sin. Nothing more liar. Only sick minds can think this way after reading the Bible. The Bible glorifies wine as a blessed drink. The wine represents the blood of Jesus. Wine was the first product of the earth after the new post-flood world. Turning water into wine was Jesus first miracle. But it is not only wine that the Bible blesses. In Old Testament worship oblations were offered to God, which consisted of pouring alcohol on the altar in sacrifice to God. Wine was for Jews, what coffee is for Brazilians, and what sandwich is for A...
Medical Image Understanding and Analysis
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th Conference on Medical Image Understanding and Analysis, MIUA 2021, held in July 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 32 full papers and 8 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. They were organized according to following topical sections: biomarker detection; image registration, and reconstruction; image segmentation; generative models, biomedical simulation and modelling; classification; image enhancement, quality assessment, and data privacy; radiomics, predictive models, and quantitative imaging.
