Pregnant women and their partners often ask healthcare professionals whether sex is safe during pregnancy, and what consequences may result from sexual activity. Many clinicians can also be unsure of the answers to these type of questions, leading to both patient and clinician resorting to the internet for advice, which can be inaccurate and anxiety-inducing. Here, the authors provide clinicians with an insight into the information offered by 'Dr Google' so that they can reassure and advise their patients as necessary. Aimed at obstetricians and other physicians caring for pregnant women, this book reviews the implications of sex during pregnancy such as those complicated by medical conditions, those at risk of preterm birth and multiple pregnancies. Other chapters cover physiological changes during pregnancy that may affect sexual function and intimacy, as well as the differing guidelines provided by various global obstetric societies.
In this volume distinguished historian Kenneth Maxwell collects some of his most significant writings, following Portugal's imperial journey from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and from the coast of Asia to the mouth of the Red Sea. Maxwell takes the reader on a lively journey from Macao to the Amazon forests-each piece in the collection is a reflection of the authors driving passions. Major themes he examines are: the peopling of the Americas, the shaking up of continents, the spirit that took a precocious Portugal into its imperial venture, the play between Portugal's' extensive imperial reach into Africa and Asia and the Americas, and the rise of Brazil and its tumultuous history.
A fonte de inspiração desse trabalho vem da observação de que a felicidade passa a compor os debates jurídicos internacionais, precisando, no Brasil, de uma investigação a respeito dos importantes fenômenos que giram em torno desse fato. Pretende-se investigar duas questões: uma geral e, se confirmada esta, uma específica. A questão geral se refere à existência de um direito amplo à felicidade. Visa a identificar se há referências históricas de apelo normativo a essa aspiração humana tão básica e, havendo, qual o momento em que elas se estabeleceram e em quais bases foram construídas. Há um direito natural à felicidade? Mais do que um elemento moral e ético que conduziu civilizações, a felicidade seria um bem apto a ser constitucionalmente protegido e, consequentemente, digno da atenção dos sistemas normativos por meio de leis e políticas públicas? Assim sendo, poderiam, os tribunais, definir seus contornos conceituais de modo a reduzir o uso populista, demagogo ou abusivo do direito à felicidade por parte das autoridades responsáveis pela sua concretização? Questões como essas aparecem como objetivo geral a ser investigado.

This anthology "decolonizes" the voices of Latin Americans who travel abroad and engage in cultural critiques of their homelands in counterpoint to foreigners' better known accounts of Latin America. The 17 contributions by North and South American academics examine--including entertaining first person accounts--the themes of constructing nations/a national identity post- independence, touring modernity, taking sides, and the art of living and working abroad. References include suggested films (e.g. Carmen Miranda: Bananas is My Business, 1994) as well as readings. Lacks an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
