This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies brought together in this volume show how this research program is applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have generated different forms of mathematical practice. These stud...

One of the main concerns of the food industry is the need for high-quality fresh fruits and fruit products with good sensory quality, long shelf life, and high nutritional value. To meet these demands, new processing technologies are under investigation and development. Advances in Fruit Processing Technologies incorporates fundamentals in food processing as well as the advances made in recent years to improve final product quality. With contributions from a panel of international researchers who present a blend of classical and emerging technologies, the book explores: Ozone, ultrasound, irradiation, pulsed electric field, vacuum frying, and high-pressure processing Ultraviolet and membrane...
Offers an extended, improved version of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), updating it in the context of current linguistic theory.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a questão se o procedimento do depoimento especial de crianças e adolescentes, vítimas ou testemunhas de violência, implica cerceamento da defesa do suposto agressor, posto que, na evolução histórica e legislativa dos infantes, inúmeras fases tiveram que ser superadas para que fossem considerados sujeitos de direitos e que, assim, pudessem ter consagrados os seus direitos de falarem e de serem ouvidos, respeitando o peculiar estado de desenvolvimento das crianças e adolescentes. O método tradicional de conduzir uma audiência pode ser prejudicial e traumático para as crianças e adolescentes que irão depor sobre a violência da qual foram vítimas ou testemunhas. Diante disso, projetos e leis em vários países do globo foram desenvolvidos para atender essa necessidade de um procedimento de oitiva adaptado para os infantes.
The state of São Paulo, Brazil, is one of the most densely populated and developed areas in South America. Such development is evident both in terms of industrialization and urbanization, as well as in agriculture, which is heavily based on sugar cane, Eucalyptus plantations and livestock. This intense land use has resulted in great alteration of the original land cover and fragmentation of natural ecosystems. For these reasons, it is almost a paradox that jaguar, a species that requires large areas of pristine forest to exist, is still found in some parts of the state of São Paulo. It is possible that wild animals could leave in coexistence with intense land use, or is it the case that su...
Anion recognition plays a critical role in a range of biological processes, and a variety of receptors and carriers can be found throughout the natural world. Chemists working in the area of supramolecular chemistry have created a range of anion receptors, drawing inspiration from nature as well as their own inventive processes. This book traces the origins of anion recognition chemistry as a unique sub-field in supramolecular chemistry while illustrating the basic approaches currently being used to effect receptor design. The combination of biological overview and summary of current synthetic approaches provides a coverage that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. First, the authors de...
