O suicídio assistido é analisado em nossa realidade constitucional através desta obra, visando delimitar conceitos: autonomia, dignidade da pessoa humana, eutanásia, ortotanásia, distanásia, mistanásia e o do próprio suicídio assistido. A questão é: a Carta Magna de 1988 e o ordenamento jurídico admitem a prática? Para atingir essa finalidade, parte-se do estudo de vida digna e da autonomia, buscando compreender se para a dignidade, no e do "indivíduo", fala-se em vida técnico-mecânica ou em vida digna. São identificados os direitos fundamentais em questão e revisitados os conceitos de restrição e de renúncia. A obra verifica ainda a criminalização dos tipos penais rel...
A presente obra coletiva Participação Política como Exercício da Cidadania, organizada pelos professores Felipe Chiarello e Carolina de Gioia Paoli e coordenada pelos professores Karina Kufa e Marco Antonio Martin Vargas é uma iniciativa oportuna e instigante, especialmente em razão da condição atual do País, que reclama soluções criativas, inovadoras e ousadas no campo da política, para efetivamente valorizá-la como atividade imprescindível da democracia e do desenvolvimento humano. Os textos que a integram tocam em pontos nevrálgicos e cruciais do sistema político e eleitoral brasileiro. Analisam questões estruturais do processo de democratização nacional, o nosso modelo...
Marilene Felinto is one of a new wave of young Brazilian writers, and her work is among the very best. Born in 1957 in the northeast of Brazil, she moved to São Paulo in early adolescence and completed her university education there. Her fiction connects the striking contrasts of a young woman's experience and the cross-purposes of modern Brazil. In The Women of Tijucopapo nothing can be taken for granted since everything might be taken away. Risia is a heroine little interested in being heroic All she wants is for her life "to have a happy ending." To find it she must go back to Tijucopapo, where her mother was born. One moonlit night her grandmother gave away a baby, and that baby was Ris...
Adaptation of applied information and communication technologies (ICT) research results is one of the greatest challenges faced in building the global knowledge economy. This set of two books brings together a collection of contributions on commercial, government or societal exploitation of applied ICT.
This book provides an up-to-date compilation of the latest research on the petrography, facies, paleonvironmental significance and economic aspects of continental carbonates. The overall organization of the book first emphasizes the descriptive aspects and processes operating on carbonate deposits in greatly varied settings, and then considers applications for basin analysis, as well as economic and historical aspects. This volume will be a valuable tool for graduate and postgraduate students as well as for experienced researchers. The second part (volume 62 in this series) will deal with the geochemistry, diagenesis and applications of carbonates in continental settings. - Covering the greatly varied aspects of carbonate deposits from continental settings deposits - Clear and easy to follow organization - Up to date information, so readers can find references from the classic literature to the most recent research
Subtropical convergence regions in the southwestern Atlantic have a high biological productivity, and are important as nursery and feeding areas and as reproduction grounds for fishery stocks of subtropical and antarctic origin. This book represents the first multidisciplinary treatise of this large and complex marine ecosystem. It analyses how subtropical convergence and land-sea interactions influence the coast, and sea and their biota. Synthesizing the rapidly expanding information, it provides a comprehensive appraisal of the biological resources, an assessment of their sustainable exploitation, and an evaluation of oceanographic processes. An inventory of all marine taxa in the southwestern Atlantic is included as an appendix.
For students of design, professional product designers, and anyone interested in design equally indispensable: the fully revised and updated edition of the reference work on product design. The book traces the history of product design and its current developments, and presents the most important principles of design theory and methodology, looking in particular at the communicative function of products and highlighting aspects such as corporate and service design, design management, strategic design, interface/interaction design and human design.. From the content: Design and history: The Bauhaus; The Ulm School of Design; The Example of Braun; The Art of Design Design and Globalization Design and Methodology: Epistemological Methods in Design Design and Theory: Aspects of the Disciplinary Design Theory Design and its Context: From Corporate Design to Service Design Product Language and Product Semiotics Architecture and Design Design and Society Design and Technological Progress
Frontiers in Computational Chemistry presents contemporary research on molecular modeling techniques used in drug discovery and the drug development process: computer aided molecular design, drug discovery and development, lead generation, lead optimization, database management, computer and molecular graphics, and the development of new computational methods or efficient algorithms for the simulation of chemical phenomena including analyses of biological activity. The third volume of this series features four chapters covering in silico approaches to computer aided drug design, modeling of platinum and adjuvant anti-cancer drugs, allostery in proteins and studies on the theory of chemical space in electron systems.
