Pensar a educação
Pensar a educação: entre partilhas e saberes é mais uma edição da coleção Aspectos da Educação, publicação que reúne pesquisas oriundas da sala de aula e pesquisadores que têm muito a nos auxiliar na caminhada, muitas vezes de luta, mas extremamente necessária, da docência. Afinal, quando pesquisamos, estudamos e divulgamos cientificamente sobre o contexto educacional, damos um passo na esperança de que os saberes se multipliquem e que, a partir deles, os docentes olhem com mais sensibilidade e criticidade para si e para seu entorno. O objetivo: elevar a qualidade da educação.
Educação e tecnologia
Nunca estivemos tão longe, nunca precisamos tanto estar juntas! Nunca precisamos tanto dos fios uns dos outros, do grito um dos outros, para tecermos uma rede que nos ajudasse a manter viva a troca de conhecimento no processo educativo. Como seres coletivos que somos, nos acostumamos e gostamos de aprender e ensinar no diálogo, no debate, na troca de olhares e no abraço, o que não nos impede de compreendermos que as tecnologias, ainda que nos neguem o abraço e a proximidade humana, têm contribuído significativamente para que tenhamos acesso a informações que não seria possível, seja pelas distâncias geográficas continentais, seja pelas distâncias sociais, ou por situações pandêmicas como vivenciamos com a Covid-19. Os artigos aqui apresentados representam o resultado de pesquisas de educadores/as que buscaram compreender a importância e os dilemas do uso das tecnologias como viabilizadoras da educação, sem deixar de refletir sobre os desafios do acesso de maneira equânime e justa. Assim, lançamos aqui nosso grito, para que outros/as educadores/as o apanhem e lancem a outros/as para que juntas e juntos possamos tecer uma grande rede de saberes.
Risk Management for the Future
A large part of academic literature, business literature as well as practices in real life are resting on the assumption that uncertainty and risk does not exist. We all know that this is not true, yet, a whole variety of methods, tools and practices are not attuned to the fact that the future is uncertain and that risks are all around us. However, despite risk management entering the agenda some decades ago, it has introduced risks on its own as illustrated by the financial crisis. Here is a book that goes beyond risk management as it is today and tries to discuss what needs to be improved further. The book also offers some cases.
Cellulite
It is estimated that 80 percent of women have some degree of cellulite. Although there are no permanent solutions for cellulite, dermatologists recognize that this is an issue of importance for many women. This guide reviews current research on the pathophysiology and treatment of cellulite, as well as the many recent developments in medical therapy, liposculpture, and pharmacy to combat the appearance of cellulite in the female figure.
Passive and Low Energy Architecture
Passive and Low Energy Architecture contains the proceedings of the Second International PLEA Conference held in Crete, Greece, on June 28 to July 1, 1983. The book is organized into four parts as the topics of the conference. The first part brings together papers dealing with case studies of individual buildings or groups of buildings, completed or to be built, and of community planning. The case studies cover examples from 13 countries in Europe, North and Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The second part contains papers on experimental work and technical developments with passive and low energy systems and components. The third section focuses on the ill-defined but crucial to designers, area of design aids. The fourth section centers on implementation and management of these energy systems, including topics of international programs, education, and training of design professionals. The book will be useful to energy conscious designers, architects, engineers, and planners in this field of interest.
Neurologic Disease in Women
Although there appears to be a general understanding that the human brain functions similarly in women and in men, an increasing body of knowledge indicates that neuronal connectivity, recruitment, and disease patterns exhibit gender differences. There are clear gender differences in genetic expression, physiologic function, metabolism, hormonal makeup, and psychosocial profile, which often modify the clinical expression of neurologic and other diseases. In addition, ethnic, cultural, and economic factors are frequently overlooked in dealing with health problems of women, even though they undoubtedly have a strong influence on the clinical course of the illness. The second edition of Neurolo...
Jimmy Page in Brazil
immy Page is still recognized as one of the most influential guitarists of all time and one of the most important rock composers worldwide. And Page's relationship with Brazil is old: in addition to having starred in many meetings with national music stars, the Led Zeppelin guitarist spent seasons in Bahia and inaugurated Casa Jimmy to house homeless youth in the capital of Rio de Janeiro – which earns him the title of Honorary Citizen of Rio de Janeiro. This intense story is the theme of Jimmy Page in Brazil, a bilingual book (Portuguese / English) by journalist and musician Leandro Souto Maior. The book has a preface by Ed Motta, one of the greatest collectors and connoisseurs of Led Zeppelin's work in Brazil, and postscript by young guitarist Sebastião Reis, the son of musician Nando Reis, what confirms that the band has crossed generations. The layout and cover bear the signature of Tomás Paoni, the artistic director of the project. The cover photo is by Marcos Hermes, a great photographer in the Brazilian music market. The edition is signed by Chris Fuscaldo, director of Garota FM Books.
Bounded Missions
Scholars of Latin American politics have been challenged to account for the varied outcomes of the transitions from authoritarian to democratic government that have occurred in many countries south of the border during the past two decades. What explains why some transitions were relatively smooth, with the military firmly in control of the process, while others witnessed substantial concessions by the military to civilian leaders, or even total military collapse? Rather than focus on causes external to the military, such as the previous legacy of democratic rule, severe economic crisis, or social protest, as other scholars have done, Craig Arceneaux draws attention to the important variables internal to the military, such as its unity or ability to coordinate strategy. Using this &"historical-institutionalist&" approach, he compares five different transitions in Brazil and three countries of the Southern Cone&—Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay&—to show what similarities and differences existed and how the differences may be attributed to variations in the internal institutional structure and operation of the military.
Young breast cancer survivors
The economic burden of breast cancer for women under 50 in the United States remains largely unexplored, in part because young women make up a small proportion of breast cancer cases overall. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a web-based survey to compare data from breast cancer survivors 18–39 years of age at first diagnosis and 40–49 years of age at first diagnosis.We administered a survey to a national convenience sample of 416 women who were 18–49 years of age at the time of their breast cancer diagnosis. We analyzed factors associated with financial decline using multivariate regression.Survivors 18–39 years of age at first diagnosis were more likely to report Stage II–IV breast cancer (P < 0.01). They also quit their jobs more often (14.6%) than older survivors (4.4%; P < 0.01) and faced more job performance issues (55.7% and 42.8%, respectively; P = 0.02). For respondents in both groups, financial decline was more likely if the survivor had at least one comorbid condition (odds ratios: 2.36–3.21) or was diagnosed at Stage II–IV breast cancer (odds ratios: 2.04–3.51).
