Durante o processo de organização da proposta do mestrado profissional em Educação, da Uninove, em 2011, a equipe organizadora do futuro programa promoveu uma série de encontros com docentes e gestores(as) das redes municipal e estadual da Educação Básica de São Paulo para, com eles(as), decidir o escopo da Área de Concentração dessa nova modalidade de pesquisa na instituição. O propósito de tais reuniões consistiu em mapear, a partir das experiências desses profissionais, em diálogo com os pesquisadores acadêmicos, os principais problemas presentes no cotidiano da vida escolar. Levando-se em conta a miríade de questões emergentes naqueles debates, considerou-se que gran...
The development of emerging technologies demands a rapidly expanding knowledge base and intensive collaboration across organizational, institutional and cultural borders. This book is the first of its kind to focus on the management of key emerging tec
A Educação, institucional ou não, nas mais diferentes épocas buscou, mesmo que subjacentemente, uma forma de existência mais humana. Respirável. Menos tediosa. Mais comprometida com os verdadeiros valores que nos conduzem durante a vida. A Educação, mesmo que acusada, pela maioria dos meios de comunicação e outros, de que jamais consegue cumprir seus ideais, justamente, é o movimento inefável e quase imperceptível de buscar um aprimoramento do homem. Este ser solitário que busca, incansavelmente, por mais que disfarce, motivos para viver uma humanidade mais plena e solidária. Ou uma solidão mais atenuada? Esta coletânea é a prova de confiança de que um educador, quando, re...
Nanotechnology in Water and Waste Water Treatment: Theory and Applications explores the unique physicochemical and surface properties of nanoparticles and highlights the advantages they provide for engineering applications. Applications covered include the generation of fresh water from surface water and seawater, the prevention of the contamination of the environment, and the creation of effective and efficient methods for remediation of polluted waters. Each chapter covers a different nanotechnology-based approach and examines the basic principles, practical applications, recent breakthroughs and associated limitations. This book is ideal for researchers and professionals in the fields of ...
Cave organisms are the ‘monsters’ of the underground world and studying them invariably raises interesting questions about the ways evolution has equipped them to survive in permanent darkness and low-energy environments. Undertaking ecological studies in caves and other subterranean habitats is not only challenging because they are difficult to access, but also because the domain is so different from what we know from the surface, with no plants at the base of food chains and with a nearly constant microclimate year-round. The research presented here answers key questions such as how a constant environment can produce the enormous biodiversity seen below ground, what adaptations and pec...
This book brings together studies broadly addressing human error and safety management from the perspectives of various disciplines, and shares the latest findings on ensuring employees’ safety, health, and welfare at work. It combines a diverse range of disciplines – e.g. work physiology, health informatics, safety engineering, workplace design, injury prevention, and occupational psychology – and presents new strategies for safety management, including accident prevention methods such as performance testing and participatory ergonomics. It reports on cutting-edge methods and findings concerning safety-critical systems, defense, and security, and discusses advanced topics regarding hu...
This book is a compilation of process, technologies and value added products such as high value biochemicals and biofuels produced from different waste biorefineries. The book is sectioned into four categories providing a comprehensive outlook about zero waste biorefinery and technologies associated with it. The emerging technologies that potentially put back the lignocellulosic waste, municipal solid waste and food waste into intrinsic recycling for production of high value biochemicals and bioenergy, along with associated challenges and opportunities are also included. The content also focuses on algal biorefineries leading to sustainable circular economy through production of broad spectr...
Many potential questions regarding the risks associated with the development and use of wide-ranging technologies enabled through engineered nanomaterials. For example, with over 600 consumer products available globally, what information exists that describes their risk to human health and the environment? What en- neering or use controls can be deployed to minimize the potential environmental health and safety impacts of nanomaterials throughout the manufacturing and product lifecycles? How can the potential environmental and health benefits of nanotechnology be realized and maximized? The idea for this book was conceived at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on “Nanomaterials: Env...
