Strengthening Food Labeling Policies in Brazil
Data from Brazil shows an increase in obesity and non-communicable diseases, which is related to the expansion of the participation of ultra-processed food products in diets and in the food environment, displacing fresh and minimally processed foods and meals prepared with them. One of the solutions to improve food environments requires the implementation of effective and adequate food labeling regulations, including front-of-package labeling. This policy tool has the potential to inform the consumers about the nutrients, ingredients, or any other component of public health concern contained in the products and facilitate healthier food choices.

Demon Ruchu
O movimento é vida. Seu oposto complementar, a morte, caracteriza- se pela parada, falta de movimento ordenado e, posteriormente, pelo movimento desordenado da decomposição. Podemos observar na prosa de Grabiński como os dois são um, como se transformam um no outro, como o excesso do movimento provoca a morte. O autor mostra como o fascínio pelo movimento se traduz em fascínio pelo oculto, pela morte, chegando a um exemplo de morbidez que une eros e thanatos. A morte, um final natural da vida, parece atrair com a força irresistível os fascinados pelo movimento, pelo progresso, os possuídos pelo demônio de movimento. O demônio do movimento, que, apesar da sua aparência antiquada de um trem, nos seus livros mata seus funcionários e passageiros, incita à brutalidade e à excitação sexual, que busca a satisfação imediata, custe o que custar, fascina, atemoriza e rege o mundo pelos caminhos misteriosos. O movimento, a essência que, nomen omen, movimenta os nossos tempos nômades aparece nos contos de Grabiński visto sob várias perspectivas, tanto misteriosas e místicas, quanto reais.

Promoting Social and Cultural Equity in the Tourism Sector
People venture into tourist activities to expand their worldviews and experiences, and as such, it is common for them to face realities totally different from those they are used to. Therefore, it is essential to discuss tourist experiences related to issues with discrimination and equality such as racism, inherent prejudice, gender equality, indigenous rights, and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community to ensure the tourism industry is inclusive and safe. Promoting Social and Cultural Equity in the Tourism Sector provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest findings from empirical research on diversity and equity applied to tourism activity. The book also contributes to the discussion about the nuances inherent to tourism activities and experiences at tourist destinations. Covering a wide range of topics such as gender bias, employability, and diversity education, this reference work is crucial for hotel managers, activists, travel agencies, tour organizations, industry professionals, government officials, policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.
