"(...) Este livro delineia, com segurança e precisão, o panorama atual desse fenômeno que é o mercado de franchising, destacando sua importância econômica e seu papel no desenvolvimento do arcabouço jurídico brasileiro. O contrato de franquia, um dos objetos centrais desta obra, transcende a mera formalidade legal; é uma expressão viva das relações empresariais modernas. A Lei no 13.966/2019 desempenhou um papel crucial ao proporcionar a base normativa contemporânea para o franchising, refletindo a necessidade de alinhar o direito às alterações rápidas e complexas do mercado, que vem evoluindo de forma exponencial nos últimos anos, sendo essencial reconhecer a dinâmica do ...
O cenário legislativo tributário no Brasil é muito complexo. Isso ninguém discute. Essa complexidade resulta em um contencioso sem qualquer paralelo no mundo. Os números são assustadores e há um consenso no meio acadêmico no sentido de que algo de diferente precisa ser feito. De um lado, esperamos uma reforma tributária que se possa simplificar nossa legislação, de outro estudamos e batalhamos pela implementação de métodos que permitam soluções alternativas aos litígios tributários. Essa obra reúne artigos de renomados autores tratando de dois desses métodos alternativos: a transação e a arbitragem. Esperamos que a leitura desse livro desperte no leitor a curiosidade e, por que não, a disposição de também trabalhar pela promoção dos métodos alternativos para solução de disputas tributárias.
The very significant advances in computer vision and pattern recognition and their applications in the last few years reflect the strong and growing interest in the field as well as the many opportunities and challenges it offers. The second edition of this handbook represents both the latest progress and updated knowledge in this dynamic field. The applications and technological issues are particularly emphasized in this edition to reflect the wide applicability of the field in many practical problems. To keep the book in a single volume, it is not possible to retain all chapters of the first edition. However, the chapters of both editions are well written for permanent reference. This indispensable handbook will continue to serve as an authoritative and comprehensive guide in the field.

It creates a repository of the main developments regarding the virtual organization, compiling definitions, characteristics, comparisons, advantages, practices, enabling technologies, and best practices"--Provided by publisher.
In the early 1930s, George Raft, an actor and dancer from New York City's Hell's Kitchen, gained a name for himself playing stylish and charismatic gangsters in films like 1932's original Scarface. Raft's own real-life connection to the New York mob added frightening authenticity to his portrayals, and his star quality coincided with the peak years of the Hollywood factory to produce a remarkable track record of successful movies. Highly regarded during his lifetime as a performer, his reputation as an actor suffered a steep decline after his death. This definitive study of all of Raft's films offers intimate insight into all of his productions, including casts, characters, technical credits, and story synopses, and dispels a number of myths surrounding his legendary career.
This book provides readers with a timely snapshot of ergonomics research and methods applied to the design, development and prototyping – as well as the evaluation, training and manufacturing – of products, systems and services. Combining theoretical contributions, case studies, and reports on technical interventions, it covers a wide range of topics in ergonomic design including: ecological design; educational and game design; cultural and ethical aspects in design; user research and human–computer interaction in design; as well as design for accessibility and extreme environments, and many others. The book places special emphasis on new technologies such as virtual reality, state-of-the-art methodologies in information design, and human–computer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 17–21, 2017, in Los Angeles, California, USA, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrial designers, human–computer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.
Differing interpretations of the history of the United Nations on the one hand conceive of it as an instrument to promote colonial interests while on the other emphasize its influence in facilitating self-determination for dependent territories. The authors in this book explore this dynamic in order to expand our understanding of both the achievements and the limits of international support for the independence of colonized peoples. This book will prove foundational for scholars and students of modern history, international history, and postcolonial history.
