O livro Agendas Políticas globais e locais e as práticas contemporâneas em educação, organizado por docentes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Políticas Públicas e Gestão Educacional (PPPG), da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), apresenta uma coletânea de textos decorrentes de produções científicas da interlocução entre a Educação Básica e a Educação Superior. Objetiva potencializar elementos de sinergia para a (re)construção de conhecimentos subjacentes a abertura de novos caminhos e perspectivas para compreender e avaliar, entre profissionais da educação, as agendas internacionais que vem governando as políticas públicas de educação em âmbito global e local.
"This book studies the management of Big Data in Health information specifically for the new concept "One Health" and "Digital Health", concerning ailments that plague neglected populations and provides practical approaches by scientists and practitioners in the field that will assist in managing the knowledge of Big Data in information Health, to strengthen the skills and training of decision-making managers with tactical and strategic analysis, planning and decision making. This book project aims to"--
This book is a pioneer attempt to bring forward the first synthesis on the most diverse and threatened mountain top vegetation of South America, the rupestrian grasslands. It brings to light the state of the art information on this ecosystem geology, soil formation and distribution, environmental filters that lead to biodiversity, species interactions and their fine tuned adaptations to survive the harsh mountain environment. The human dimensions of the rupestrian grassland are also addressed, including the anthropogenic threats that may irreversibly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services. The book also highlights the ongoing studies on ecological restoration and first attempt to model the impacts of climate change on its speciose biota.
Este livro foi escrito através da análise da produção de teses e dissertações brasileiras a respeito da função do professor de creche. Este trabalho tem como apoio teóricos, autores especialistas em educação infantil, como Rizzo, Falk, Portugal, Zabalza, Kramer, Artes, Rosemberg e Campos. O levantamento das teses e dissertações foi realizado no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Capes e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, no período de 2000 a 2015. Os resultados sugerem que o professor de creche ainda é um profissional desvalorizado em função do binômio cuidar/educar. Esse profissional ainda não é reconhecido como professor. As pesquisas tendem a abordar a dicotomia educar/cuidar, secundarizando as discussões sobre o trabalho dos professores no exercício de suas funções. Faz-se necessário, através da leitura do livro, pensarmos mais no trabalho do professor, tentando definir uma identidade desse profissional que tem um papel essencial na educação infantil.
Soybean is the most important oilseed and livestock feed crop in the world. These dual uses are attributed to the crop's high protein content (nearly 40% of seed weight) and oil content (approximately 20%); characteristics that are not rivaled by any other agronomic crop. Across the 10-year period from 2001 to 2010, world soybean production increased from 168 to 258 million metric tons (54% increase). Against the backdrop of soybean's striking ascendancy is increased research interest in the crop throughout the world. Information in this book presents a comprehensive view of research efforts in genetics, plant physiology, agronomy, agricultural economics, and nitrogen relationships that will benefit soybean stakeholders and scientists throughout the world. We hope you enjoy the book.
Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merril) is the major representative fruit of bromelains, cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas in developing countries. The knowledge of plant taxonomy, enzymes, antioxidants, or microbiology is beneficial to human health. Likewise, various industrial applications of pineapple-based products have led both developing and developed countries to grow dependent on the tropical fruit. The targeted audience of this book includes researchers and professional horticulturists interested in increasing the comprehension of not just the nutritional values of pineapple, but also about the technology employed to preserve the freshness of this fruit. The organization o...
This book examines the practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Latin America, with a particular focus on Brazil. Drawing on historical developments and theoretical reflections alike, it introduces readers to the state of the art in Brazilian CSR. The authors present a range of regulatory and entrepreneurial frameworks that form the basis for business and CSR activities in Brazil. In a number of detailed case studies from various Brazilian institutions and enterprises, the book provides revealing insights into the practice of sustainable and responsible business conduct in this country. Subsequent chapters show the effects of anti-corruption laws, which have since informed corporations’ compliance agendas, and discuss recent, massive corruption scandals. Generally speaking, the book provides a highly informative and practice-oriented resource that successfully reconciles an ostensible contradiction – corporate social responsibility and Brazil.
Phytotherapy Approaches for Treatment of Mouth Ulcers is a book with updated and illustrated text with pictures and graphs that help to define, characterize and classify mouth ulcers. The most frequent oral mucosa lesions are the aphthous ulcerations with a prevalence of 4.6 to 30.6%. These can be defined as a fundamental lesion characterized by the absence of the epithelial tissue layer, which makes the subjacent conjunctive tissue unprotected and vulnerable to external aggressions. There are three main forms, the most common being the aphthous; these are small, rounded, defined ulcerations that are painful and heal in 10 to 14 days. The other form of recurrent aphthous ulceration is the ty...
