O GPEEC NATUREZA é um grupo de pesquisa que iniciou seu trabalho em março de 2018, com a realização de seu primeiro grupo. Atualmente o grupo de pesquisa está composto por vários pesquisadores, professores da Universidade e do PPGQVS, mestrandos, doutorandos, pós doutorandos bem como de alunos da graduação de diversos cursos da UFRGS. O GPEEC NATUREZA está propondo a publicação de seu primeiro livro que retrata as pesquisas que estão sendo realizadas por seus membros que se encontram num crescente de produção científica bem como de professores, pesquisadores que solicitam o seu ingresso no referido grupo. Dentro deste contexto, GPEEC NATUREZA lança o projeto de publicização de suas pesquisas através do Volume 1 do Livro DEBATES EM EDUCAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS: desafios e possibilidades.
Analyses the variety of play implemented within educational games and simulations and gives detailed examples of cutting-edge application in a wide range of disciplines. >
Polyphenols: Properties, Recovery, and Applications covers polyphenol properties, health effects and new trends in recovery procedures and applications. Beginning with coverage of the metabolism and health effects of polyphenols, the book then addresses recovery, analysis, processing issues and industrial applications. The book not only connects the properties and health effects of polyphenols with recovery, processing and encapsulation issues, but also explores industrial applications that are affected by these aspects, including both current applications and those under development. - Covers the properties and health effects of polyphenols, along with trends in recovery procedures and applications - Addresses recovery, analysis and processing issues - Concludes with coverage of the industrial applications of polyphenols
Flavonoids are abundant secondary metabolites found in plants and fungi that have various roles in these organisms, including pigmentation, cell signalling, plant defence and inter-organism communication. Due to their abundance in nature, flavonoids are also important components of the human diet, and the last four decades have seen an intense study focused on the structure characterization of flavonoids and on their roles in mammal metabolism. This book reviews most of the well-established activities of flavonoids, and we also present more recent research studies on the area of flavonoids, including the chemical aspects of structure characterization of flavonoids, the biosynthesis of flavonoids in model plants as well as their role in abiotic stress situations and in agriculture, the role of flavonoids in metabolism and health and their importance in foods, from consumption to their use as bioactive components.

From the microscopic observation of infection to the widespread application of molecular techniques in taxonomy and epidemiology, to the genome sequencing of two major species and advances in biochemistry, phylogeny, and water treatment, new information on this fascinating genus continues to mount as we discover and utilize the latest scientific te
This book reflects on how the economies, social characteristics, ways of life and global relationships of rural areas of Europe have changed in recent years. This reveals a need to refresh the concepts we use to understand, measure and describe rural communities and their development potential. This book argues that Europe has 'outgrown' many of the stereotypes usually associated with it, with substantial implications for European Rural Policy. Rural structural change and its evolving geography are portrayed through regional typologies and the concept of the New Rural Economy. Demographic change, migration, business networks and agricultural restructuring are each explored in greater detail....
This thought-provoking book questions the framework of the Horizon 2020 strategy and the policies of smart development. It aims to answer the following question: Is there any possibility for a policy of smart development and smart specialization in rural and peri-urban areas? Based on detailed analytical studies, empirical and econometric methods, as well as various European case studies, several conclusions are drawn. Smart development policies are well adapted to the developed or intermediate regions containing at the same time rural and urban areas, but do not really function for the more rural or more peripheral regions. The development policies of rural areas must be adapted to their pa...
