A presente obra trata sobre a importância dos preâmbulos constitucionais para que seja conferido um sentido identitário às Constituições. Aqui o(a) leitor(a) encontrará importantes elementos acerca das funções desempenhadas pelos textos preambulares, as quais, aliadas à forma característica de sua escrita, propiciam um ambiente típico de salvaguarda de identidades e reconhecimento de diferenças e, com isso, um sentimento de inclusão constitucional. Trata-se de estudo imprescindível para quem deseja se aprofundar na temática, inclusive como fonte de consulta pelo detalhamento de vários preâmbulos constitucionais, em nível nacional e mundial, bem como pela relação existent...

A memoir by the woman who knew Bob Marley best--his wife, Rita. Rita Marley grew up in the slums of Trench Town, Jamaica. Abandoned by her mother at a very young age, she was raised by her aunt. Music ran in Rita's family, and even as a child her talent for singing was pronounced. By the age of 18, Rita was an unwed mother, and it was then that she met Bob Marley at a recording studio in Trench Town. Bob and Rita became close friends, fell in love, and soon, she and her girlfriends were singing backup for the Wailers. At the ages of 21 and 19, Bob and Rita were married. The rest is history: Bob Marley and the Wailers set Jamaica and the world on fire. But while Rita displayed blazing courage...
A revealing and intimate biography about Janis Joplin, the Queen of Classic Rock, written by her younger sister. Janis Joplin blazed across the sixties music scene, electrifying audiences with her staggering voice and the way she seemed to pour her very soul into her music. By the time her life and artistry were cut tragically short by a heroin overdose, Joplin had become the stuff of rock–and–roll legend. Through the eyes of her family and closest friends , we see Janis as a young girl, already rebelling against injustice, racism, and hypocrisy in society. We follow Janis as she discovers her amazing talents in the Beat hangouts of Venice and North Beach–singing in coffeehouses, shoot...
Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film. Despite recent impressive results when simulating and rendering thousands of individuals, many challenges still exist in this area. The comparison of simulation with reality, the realistic appearance of virtual humans and their behavior, group structure and their motion, and collision avoidance are just some examples of these challenges. For most of the applications of crowds, it is now a requirement to have real-time simulations – which is an additional challenge, particularly when crowds are very large. Crowd Simulation...
A coletânea reúne textos que colocam em diálogo elementos conceituais e pesquisa empírica, articulando diferentes perspectivas teórico-metodológicas para refletir e analisar os desafios na produção do cuidado integral para a população LGBT+. As narrativas apresentam enfrentamentos e posicionamentos comprometidos com a superação da cis-heteronormatividade, demarcando e reforçando a importância de políticas sociais abrangentes. A obra é necessária não somente para o público acadêmico engajado e envolvido com a temática, mas para todas as pessoas que acreditam na contribuição da ciência para a qualidade de vida individual e coletiva.
Immersive Analytics is a new research initiative that aims to remove barriers between people, their data and the tools they use for analysis and decision making. Here the aims of immersive analytics research are clarified, its opportunities and historical context, as well as providing a broad research agenda for the field. In addition, it is reviewed how the term immersion has been used to refer to both technological and psychological immersion, both of which are central to immersive analytics research.
A leitura do presente estudo, que é resultado de uma pesquisa rigorosa e de práticas em sala de aula, nos permite perceber o entrosamento profissional, tão necessário, entre os professores pesquisadores que o elaboraram, e a interdisciplinaridade, tão desejada, quanto aos assuntos abordados nas pesquisas desenvolvidas pelas/os jovens pesquisadores.
Cratonic basins are large, distinctive features of the continental crust. They are preferentially developed on thick continental lithosphere, are typically sub-circular in shape and subside over periods of hundreds of millions of years. They are also endowed with significant resources. However, in spite of their location in continental interiors and often well-known geology, the subsidence driving mechanism and tectonic setting of these basins remains controversial. This volume presents both lithospheric and basin scale datasets acquired specifically to interrogate the tectonic process of cratonic basin formation. Focused on the Silurian to Triassic Parnaíba cratonic basin of Brazil, the papers discuss the results of a multidisciplinary basin analysis project comprising new geophysical, geological and geochemical data. This unique dataset enables the characterization of the lithospheric crust and mantle beneath the Parnaíba Basin, constrains the detailed evolution of the basin itself, and enables comparisons with cratonic basins globally. Several convergent themes emerge providing new and powerful constraints for models of the driving mechanisms of these enigmatic basins.
