Este livro apresenta relatos de experiências e reflexões, a partir dos trabalhos desenvolvidos no âmbito dos programas Pibid e Residência Pedagógica, por docentes e discentes da Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul, em projetos de Pedagogia, Letras e Artes realizados em escolas públicas municipais e estaduais do Rio Grande do Sul.
O contexto das políticas e das relações democráticas no Brasil tem nos exigido um esforço permanente em rediscutir as concepções e as práticas que conformam as políticas educacionais, bem como exige-nos a leitura inquieta das ferramentas teóricas e conceituais através das quais definimos nossos temas e objetos investigativos em tais situações. Com quais termos definimos as políticas educacionais que investigamos? Quais indícios nos oferecem elementos para defini-las como democráticas? Como identificarmos suas múltiplas interfaces com a cidadania e com a experiência dos cidadãos e das cidadãs? Quais desafios perfazem sua construção e seus processos de implementação? A ...
This is the first comprehensive listing of Amazon fruits from an ethnobotanical perspective. This detailed book covers 50 botanical families, 207 species, in the Amazon including how the people of each region use them. It is lavishly illustrated with high-quality photographs taken by the author, an extensive list of references, and Dr. Smith’s latest, meticulous research. This book should be a foundational work for scholars working in the plant sciences, researchers in ethnobotanical studies, and general interest scholars seeking more detailed information on the latest research by a leading scientist in the Amazon.
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 59, the latest in the series, covers the synthesis, or testing and recording, of the medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts of fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, this book is a welcomed resource. - Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products - Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field - Presents sources of new pharmacophores
Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It has by now widely been recognized that “traditional” knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwi...
This book is devoted to the Little Bustard, a medium sized Paleartic steppe bird whose distribution ranges from the Iberian Peninsula to Central Asia. At present, the European population is suffering a severe decline mainly due to agricultural intensification, although its status and concerns in non-European countries are relatively unknown. In spite of this dramatic situation, the Little Bustard is an interesting model species for topics as varied as phylogeny, life history evolution and demographic traits, sexual selection and lekking behavior, habitat selection, intra- and interspecific relationships, or interaction with farming and other anthropogenic disturbances. This book provides an updated, interdisciplinary, and worldwide review of the most recent information of this crucial species in the Palearctic steppe-bird community, from specific biological aspects and traits to research-focused management. Some of the most prominent scientists from different fields (systematics, breeding ecology, behavior, competence, predation, population dynamics, farming, conservation) update and synthesize the existing information on a singular, threatened and vulnerable species.
As “Lições de Direito do Trabalho” contêm uma visão abrangente e unitária desta disciplina jurídica, abarcando temas que envolvem as relações de trabalho individuais e coletivas. A obra trata da formação, execução e cessação do contrato de trabalho, bem como de matérias relativas às associações sindicais e patronais, negociação coletiva e conflitos laborais coletivos, como a greve. Inclui, também, muitas referências à cidadania no trabalho e à chamada responsabilidade social corporativa, que abarca preocupações em matéria de direitos de personalidade e igualdade e não discriminação, com inúmeras referências jurisprudenciais e de Direito Comparado. É uma obra para profissionais e estudantes do Direito, com uma visão simples e escorreita sobre esta disciplina e sobre o Futuro do Trabalho.
