Neste livro, o leitor encontrará uma síntese histórica da política do Brasil em relação ao Rio da Prata, com destaque para o Uruguai, bem como análise da historiografi¬a sobre as relações entre os dois países. A análise da interpretaçãoda diplomacia uruguaia do Governo de Getúlio Vargas, bem como dos seus objetivos e expectativas nas relações com o Brasil, entre 1931 e 1938, é feita pari passu às suas conexões com os processos políticos internos uruguaio e brasileiro. Rafael Nascimento Gomes é bem-sucedido em demonstrar a “visão do outro” – da diplomacia uruguaia – em relação às políticas interna e externa brasileira. Ademais, ele contribui para o conhecime...
Legumes are flowering plants found in most of the archeological records of plants. Legumes are efficiently used as food crops for humans and animals, pulps for paper and timber manufacturing, sources for fuel and oil production, ornamental plants, and cover crops such as cereals and other staple foods. Additionally, they can be utilized for other purposes, including the production of massive amounts of organic nitrogen. This book reviews the fundamental advances related to the characterization and breeding of legume crops for improved food security. Moreover, it sheds new light on the current research trends and future research directions related to legume crop studies. This book will provoke interest for various readers, researchers, and scientists, who may find this information useful for the advancement of legume productivity.
Este trabalho examina as mudanças introduzidas pela Lei n. 13.467/2017, conhecida como Reforma Trabalhista, que alterou a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT), permitindo a livre estipulação da arbitragem na resolução de dissídios individuais trabalhistas para empregados com remuneração superior a duas vezes o teto do INSS. A tese central defende que a arbitragem é um meio adequado para resolver disputas trabalhistas individuais, mas necessitava de uma previsão normativa clara, agora fornecida pelo artigo 507-A da CLT. A pesquisa inclui uma análise comparativa com a legislação espanhola, que proíbe a arbitragem em questões trabalhistas. Utilizando métodos analítico, descritivo e interdisciplinar, a pesquisa conclui que, cinco anos após a Reforma, a arbitragem se consolidou como um instrumento eficaz na resolução de conflitos trabalhistas, com dados recentes confirmando sua aplicação, enquanto o uso indevido deve ser controlado pela Justiça do Trabalho e pelo Ministério Público do Trabalho.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
This volume gathers selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the XXVI International Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM), held on July 8-11, 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The respective chapters address a range of timely topics in industrial engineering, including operations and process management, global operations, managerial economics, data science and stochastic optimization, logistics and supply chain management, quality management, product development, strategy and organizational engineering, knowledge and information management, work and human factors, sustainability, production engineering education, healthcare operations management, disaster management, and more. These topics broadly involve fields like operations, manufacturing, industrial and production engineering, and management. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for those engaged in optimization research, operations research, and practitioners alike.
This book provides comprehensive information on the 500-year long colonial history, post-colonial politics, and local political culture and practice of the island republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, one of the smallest and least known African countries.
The three-volume set LNAI 14195, 14196, and 14197 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2023, which took place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in September 2023. The 90 full papers included in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 242 submissions. They have been organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: Best papers; resource allocation and planning; rules and feature extraction; AI and education; agent systems; explainability; AI models; Part II: Transformer applications; convolutional neural networks; deep learning applications; reinforcement learning and GAN; classification; machine learning analysis; Part III: Evolutionary algorithms; optimization strategies; computer vision; language and models; graph neural networks; pattern recognition; AI applications.
There are alarming reports of new and emerging microbial diseases. The recent emergence of COVID-19 is a burning example that has attracted global attention. Not only this, the development of multidrug resistance in microbes is frightening and thus the available antibiotics have been ineffective. Considering these facts, there is a pressing need to develop effective treatment options that are eco-friendly, biobased, and cost-effective. The present book covers the natural/bio-based products from plants, mushrooms and microbes that can be used against different microbial diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi. This book would be an essential reading for students, researchers and people from pharma industries. Key features: • Describes the biobased natural products to combat microbial diseases. • Examines the antimicrobial potential of mushrooms, endophytes and secondary metabolites. • Discusses the role of defensins and terpenes in microbial diseases. • Incorporates natural products from the Amazon for treating microbial diseases.
