Current Issues in Global Health provides a forum for a broad discussion of health issues, from systemic violence to infectious disease in places as far apart as Kashmir and South America. The authors come from a variety of environments including military and academic positions. Despite the diversity of subject matter and authors, the consistent theme of the book always focuses on the provision of an environment in which members of a community can achieve or maintain good public health. The subjects addressed here are those that cross international borders and affect lives around the world, thus truly qualifying as issues of global health importance.
COVID-19 is the most severe pandemic the world has experienced in a century. This book analyses major legal and regulatory responses internationally to COVID-19, and the impact the pandemic has had on human rights and freedoms, governance, the obligations of states and individuals, as well the role of the World Health Organization and other international bodies during this time. The authors examine notable legal challenges to public health measures enforced during the pandemic, such as lockdown orders, curfews, and vaccine mandates. Importantly, the book contextualizes the legal analysis by examining the broader social and economic dimensions of risks posed by the pandemic. The book consider...
Publicar um livro que realiza uma síntese das questões trabalhadas nos 30 anos de um Programa de Pós-graduação em Planejamento Urbano e Regional (PPGPLUR) é algo bastante desafiador e um tanto quanto “injusto”, pois a amplitude das discussões certamente não será alcançada neste volume. No entanto, o grupo de professores e alunos do PPGPLUR da Univap, em seu VIII Seminário, realizado em março de 2023, deliberou pelo enfrentamento desse desafio. Sabe-se que, de 1993 a 2023, esse Programa enfrentou um cenário ainda de consolidação democrática, em que a política urbana brasileira foi reconstruída por discussões que envolveram diferentes profissionais: arquitetos e urbanist...
O conjunto de textos aqui reunidos representa um passo na consolidação de um olhar que se abriu sobre a imensa diversidade do universo das cidades pequenas. Simples nas suas configurações, essas cidades aparecem de uma desafiadora complexidade quando a metodologia de abordagem procura articular as escalas espaciais e temporais pertinentes a esses objetos de pesquisa. Por isso não deve faltar ousadia, perseverança e coragem aos pesquisadores brasileiros que os escolheram para contribuir ao entendimento das dinâmicas do espaço geográfico.
O Atlas, por sua linguagem acessível, atende a diversos públicos que visam entender as complexidades do espaço geográfico das cidades de Tefé e Coari à luz da metodologia da vulnerabilidade ambiental. As imagens, mapas e textos são apresentados de maneira a permitir a compreensão da temática ao passo que se folheiam as páginas do Atlas, o que auxilia a despertar a curiosidade por meio dos mapas das variáveis trabalhadas e quais setores necessitam, ao final, de mais atenção, contribuindo para futuras tomadas de decisão junto aos setores censitários.
This reader offers some of the most important writing to date from the science of COVID-19 and what science says about its spread and social implications. The readings have been carefully selected, introduced, and interpreted for an introductory or graduate student readership by a distinguished medical sociology and political science team. While some of the early science was inaccurate, lacking sufficient data, or otherwise incomplete, the author team has selected the most important and reliable early work for teachers and students in courses on medical sociology, public health, nursing, infectious diseases, epidemiology, anthropology of medicine, sociology of health and illness, social aspe...
"In this book, two of the primary sources of flavonoids, i.e. plants and fruits (oranges to be specific) are comprehensively reviewed, along with their flavonoid content and antioxidant activity (including action against COVID-19) and toxicity. Besides, a general overview of the analytical techniques for flavonoids determination in their natural sources is provided. Finally, a detailed description of flow techniques and their evolution, together with their role in the automation of the sample pretreatment and its combination with separation techniques, is also included"--
The five-volume set LNCS 6782 - 6786 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2011, held in Santander, Spain, in June 2011. The five volumes contain papers presenting a wealth of original research results in the field of computational science, from foundational issues in computer science and mathematics to advanced applications in virtually all sciences making use of computational techniques. The topics of the fully refereed papers are structured according to the five major conference themes: geographical analysis, urban modeling, spatial statistics; cities, technologies and planning; computational geometry and applications; computer aided modeling, simulation, and analysis; and mobile communications.
