Neste livro, o autor analisa o processo de produção do espaço urbano pela produção imobiliária em duas cidades médias brasileiras: Londrina e Maringá. Situadas na área norte do Estado do Paraná, essas cidades apresentam características distintas no processo de expansão urbana, valorização imobiliária e segmentação socioespacial. Pelo prisma da geografia histórica da acumulação, da ordenação espaço-temporal do capital, da produção imobiliária, da reestruturação da cidade, da "máquina de crescimento urbano", do movimento do capital circulante e da mobilidade e do deslocamento espaciais da valorização imobiliária, o autor realiza um estudo que contempla as mudanças estruturais e estruturantes na escala das duas cidades e de outras escalas geográficas de análise e de atuação desta fração do capital.
This volume gathers selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the XXVI International Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM), held on July 8-11, 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The respective chapters address a range of timely topics in industrial engineering, including operations and process management, global operations, managerial economics, data science and stochastic optimization, logistics and supply chain management, quality management, product development, strategy and organizational engineering, knowledge and information management, work and human factors, sustainability, production engineering education, healthcare operations management, disaster management, and more. These topics broadly involve fields like operations, manufacturing, industrial and production engineering, and management. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for those engaged in optimization research, operations research, and practitioners alike.
This book focuses on the fungi found in one of the most pristine regions on Earth: Antarctica. It discusses the fungal occurrence in all substrates of the region, including soil, seawater, lake and marine sediments, rocks, ice, and snow. It also addresses the impact of climate changes on these organisms, the genomic techniques developed to study them, and how a number of compounds, such as antibiotics and enzymes, produced by the Antarctic fungi can be used in medicine, agriculture and the chemical industry.
From reviews of the first edition: "This is perhaps the best theoretically oriented book by a United States urban sociologist since the work of Firey, Hawley, and Sjoberg in the 1940s and 1950s.... Gottdiener is on the cutting edge of urban theoretical work today." —Joe R. Feagin, Contemporary Sociology Since its first publication in 1985, The Social Production of Urban Space has become a landmark work in urban studies. In this second edition, M. Gottdiener assesses important new theoretical models of urban space—and their shortcomings—including the global perspective, the flexible accumulation school, postmodernism, the new international division of labor, and the "growth machine" perspective. Going beyond the limitations of these and older theories, Gottdiener proposes a model of urban growth that accounts for the deconcentration away from the central city that began in the United States in the 1920s and continues today. Sociologists, political scientists, economists, geographers, and urban planners will find his interdisciplinary approach to urban science invaluable, as it is currently the most comprehensive treatment of European and American work in these related fields.
Imagine planning an event like the Olympics. Now imagine planning the same event but not knowing when or where it will take place, or how many will attend. This is what humanitarian logisticians are up against. Oversights result in serious consequences for the victims of disasters. So they have to get it right, fast.
Este livro expressa, por um lado, a experiência de realizar coletivamente uma pesquisa durante seis anos, desde a construção de sua metodologia, passando pelo desenvolvimento dela, incluindo a realização de inúmeros trabalhos de campo e chegando a esta publicação que, refletindo o percurso vivido, também foi escrita a várias mãos. Por outro lado, do ponto de vista temático, a individualidade perpetuada pela satisfação das necessidades por meio do crédito levou-nos à caracterização de um cotidiano vivido, por meio de práticas orientadas pelo consumo, pela busca do que se quer consumir agora e pelo distanciamento em relação à vida urbana coletiva, à interação social e ...
A IV Jornada Integrada do Centro Universitário Santa Maria (UNIFSM), realizada entre os dias 1 e 2 dezembro, foi um evento voltado à comunidade acadêmica da instituição, com o objetivo de proporcionar aos discentes e docentes espaços de reflexão sobre a realidade social e as implicações na formação acadêmica, bem como em outras instâncias da vida cotidiana. Objetivou, também, permitir a partilha de produção científica, incentivando debates que contribuam para a integração entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão.
Meat holds an important position in human nutrition. Although protein from this source has lower biological value than egg albumin, it is an exclusive source of heme iron and vitamins and minerals. Fat content and fatty acid profile from this source are a constant matter of concern. Though currently meat utilization is linked with an array of maladies, including atherosclerosis, leukemia, and diabetes, meat has a noteworthy role not only for safeguarding proper development and health, but also in human wellbeing. Enormous scientific investigations have proved that consuming meat has had a beneficial role in cranial/dental and gastrointestinal tract morphologic changes, human upright stance, reproductive attributes, extended lifespan, and maybe most prominently, in brain and cognitive development.

Continued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. Recent exciting research on dengue has resulted in major advances in our understanding of all aspects of the biology of these viruses, and this updated second edition brings together leading research and clinical scientists to review dengue virus biology, epidemiology, entomology, therapeutics, vaccinology and clinical management.
