Desde el 2018, el Centre for Conscious Design (CCD) —think tank fundado por el arquitecto Itai Palti con el objetivo de fomentar buenas prácticas y generar un impacto positivo a través del diseño urbano-arquitectónico basado en evidencia científica—, organiza el Conscious Cities Festival The pen simultáneo en varias ciudades de todo el mundo. El 2020, año que recordaremos por el inicio de la pandemia del covid-19, también fue un tiempo de oportunidades: permitió la expansión del Movimiento de Ciudades Conscientes a más de 20 ciudades gracias al uso de medios tecnológicos y virtuales, siendo una de ellas la ciudad de Lima. La presente Antología, protagonizada por...
Contains a list of 1,819 names of Portuguese Converso men and women living in Brazil during the 18th century and suspected by the Inquisition of Judaizing, many of whom were tried and sentenced. The list is part of the general register of Portuguese Conversos kept by the Inquisition, beginning in 1605, in order to keep track of their whereabouts, from the Ottoman Empire to the Americas. As an instrument of Inquisitorial repression and terror, it enabled the confiscation of Converso property on Portuguese territory, and served as a reference for the implementation of the "limpieza de sangre" statutes. It also preserved the names of those who denounced the Conversos for Judaizing.
This book aims at informing on new trends, challenges and solutions, in the multidisciplinary field of biomedical engineering. It covers traditional biomedical engineering topics, as well as innovative applications such as artificial intelligence in health care, tissue engineering , neurotechnology and wearable devices. Further topics include mobile health and electroporation-based technologies, as well as new treatments in medicine. Gathering the proceedings of the 8th European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference (EMBEC 2020), held on November 29 - December 3, 2020, in Portorož, Slovenia, this book bridges fundamental and clinically-oriented research, emphasizing the role of education, translational research and commercialization of new ideas in biomedical engineering. It aims at inspiring and fostering communication and collaboration between engineers, physicists, biologists, physicians and other professionals dealing with cutting-edge themes in and advanced technologies serving the broad field of biomedical engineering.
The main objective of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary overview of methodological approaches, architectures, platforms, and algorithms for the realization of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE). Moreover, the book details a set of real-world applications and case studies related to specific smart infrastructures and smart cities, including structural health monitoring, smart urban drainage networks, smart grids, power efficiency, healthcare, city security, and emergency management. A Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE) is a people-centric system of systems that involves smart city environments, applications, and infrastructures. SUEs require the close integration of cyber and physical components for monitoring, understanding and controlling the urban environment. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a valuable enabling technology, as it bridges the gap between physical things and software components, and empowers cooperation between distributed, pervasive, and heterogeneous entities.
The role of the cytokine, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), in the immune response and in the immunopathogenesis of different inflammatory, autoimmune, and infectious disorders is now well established. The aim of this handbook is to provide an authoritative volume covering all aspects of MIF, from basic molecular biology to structure-function relationships, pathophysiology, genetics, and drug development. Recent studies continue to broaden considerably the role of MIF in both normal physiology and pathology, which range from such diverse areas as oncogenesis, cardiac physiology, and neurodevelopment. MIF's molecular mechanism of action in these contexts is becoming increasingly understood and the role of variant MIF alleles in different conditions continues to be defined. Unique structural features of the protein, such as an intrinsic catalytic activity, and the continuing elucidation of its receptor-dependent mechanism of action offer attractive opportunities for therapeutic intervention. This volume will provide a comprehensive synthesis of the state of the art of MIF science.
Os capítulos incluídos na obra apresentam estudos já finalizados ou ainda em andamento, os quais abordam técnicas, métodos e práticas como meios de acesso, produção e expressão do conhecimento. São oferecidas alternativas para o processo de ensino, englobando estratégias de aprendizagem adotadas e práticas pedagógicas utilizadas tanto dentro quanto fora das instituições escolares. Essas metodologias buscam abrir novas oportunidades e horizontes, permitindo a construção de caminhos alternativos na educação. As investigações visam propor alternativas de ensino que superem limites, ampliem horizontes e construam caminhos que têm sido implementados em diversos espaços e contextos. Os capítulos discutem os desafios históricos enfrentados na educação, bem como as novas perspectivas e problemas que confrontam professores e alunos no dia a dia escolar. Os estudos e pesquisas têm como objetivo propor alternativas de ensino que ultrapassam limitações, ampliam horizontes e desenvolvem abordagens aplicadas ao contexto escolar.
Updated to reflect changes in the industry during the last ten years, The Handbook of Food Analysis, Third Edition covers the new analysis systems, optimization of existing techniques, and automation and miniaturization methods. Under the editorial guidance of food science pioneer Leo M.L. Nollet and new editor Fidel Toldra, the chapters take an in
La prospettiva della vita adulta, che può (e deve) essere connotata da partecipazione attiva e, dove possibile, dall’esercizio pieno dei diritti e dei doveri, è stata approfondita attraverso molteplici aspetti, quali: i documenti internazionali, la legislazione nazionale, la rete territoriale, le rappresentazioni sociali, i processi identitari, la relazione d’aiuto, la vita adulta, l’inserimento lavorativo, l’autodeterminazione e il Progetto di vita. Nella parte conclusiva, il volume avanza la proposta di un’azione progettuale alla quale la Pedagogia Speciale potrebbe offrire il proprio contributo: la formazione del profilo professionale del disability manager.
