Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
Distance education, for long the Cinderella of the educational spectrum, had emerged in the 1970s and early 1980s as a valued component of many national educational systems in both developed and developing countries. The foundation of the Open Universities, developments in communications technology and in audio-, video- and computer-based learning, a new sophistication in the design of print-based materials and better support systems for the student learning at a distance had all contributed to the availability and quality of distance education programmes. Originally published in 1988, this book chronicles this great change in distance education. It presents the best writings on the subject published during the previous ten years. The articles selected for this volume provided a new scholarly basis for the theory and practice of distance education. The editors have brought together contributions from many countries and present authoritative introductions to each of the nine sections. This book provided those in both developed and developing countries with a guideline to one of the most rapidly expanding areas of education at the time.
Contatando "brancos" e demarcando terras apresenta um repertório de narrativas obtidas em entrevistas com velhos indígenas das terras Parabubure e São Marcos sobre os primeiros contatos estabelecidos pelos Xavante com os "brancos", entre as décadas de 1940 e 1950, e sobre os processos históricos que culminaram nas demarcações dessas terras pelo Estado brasileiro, na década de 1970. Por meio da história oral, foram produzidas as entrevistas e obtidas as narrativas que formam o corpus do trabalho, cujas condições de produção são, ao longo desta obra, rigorosamente descritas. Partindo de uma problematização da colonialidade do saber presente na historiografia brasileira, a autor...
Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners’ efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development. Since then, forest landscape restoration (FLR) has emerged as a practical approach to forest restoration particularly in developing countries, where an approach which is both large-scale and focuses on meeting human needs is required. Yet despite increased investigation into both the biological and social aspects of FLR, there has so far been little success in systematically integrating these two complementary st...
A presente obra é fruto de longa e árdua pesquisa realizada pelos autores sobre os pioneiros que colonizaram o sudoeste do estado de Goiás e parte do estado de Mato Grosso, na metade do século XIX. Do estado de Minas Gerais, vieram para Goías os pioneiros José Manoel Vilela, José Antônio de Carvalho e Serafim José de Barros. De Franca, São Paulo, veio José Carvalho Bastos, juntando-se aos mineiros com o objetivo de criar gado nas pastagens naturais, ainda inexploradas, além do Rio Paranaíba. Um pouco mais tarde, chegou, também de Minas Gerais, outro pioneiro importante, que foi José Primo da Costa Lima. Posteriormente, filhos e netos desses pioneiros continuaram rumo ao oeste,...
This book provides a detailed overview of the latest innovations in respiratory endoscopy, from both diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives; each chapter focuses on one disease and the techniques for early diagnosis as well as treatment. It comprehensively covers treatment and procedures, including simultaneous X-ray fluoroscopy and its use during bronchoscopic procedures. This fast-developing technology is essential for the medical management of non-malignant and malignant diseases of the chest, especially lung cancer. Respiratory Endoscopy describes the cooperation between all the members of the healthcare team, and as such is a valuable resource not only for medical staff, but also for radiological technicians and nursing staff who contribute significantly in the care of the patients undergoing these invasive procedures. By promoting teamwork and providing practical know-how, it will improve the success and safety of respiratory endoscopy procedures.
