    Body Matters (2023)
    University of Wales Press | University of Wales Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Body Matters approaches the material world directly; it seeks to remind people that they are the matter of their bodies. This volume offers an assortment of contributions from anthropology, archaeology and medieval studies, with case studies from northern Europe, the Near East, East Africa and Amazonia, which variously draw attention to the multiple shifting materials that comprise, impact upon and co-create human bodies. This lively collection foregrounds myriad material influences interacting with and shaping the human body; the chapters come together to illustrate the fundamental fleshy, bony, suppurating, leaky and oozing physicality of being human. Ultimately, by reminding readers of their indisputable materiality, Body Matters seeks to draw people and the rest of the material world together to illustrate that bodies not only seep into (and are part of) the landscape, but equally that people and the material world are inextricably co-constitutive.

    Non-Intrusive Methodologies for Large Area Urban Research (2023)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Non-Intrusive Methodologies for Large Area Urban Research brings together contributions from a conference held in 2021 in association with the ERC-funded ‘Rome Transformed’ research project. The papers address a major challenge in archaeology. Non-intrusive research in pursuit of a deeper understanding of urban areas can be both richly informative and cost-effective. Multiple successes in the field have led to an impressive array of innovative methodologies, methodologies that are frequently combined for still greater insight and impact. Geophysical surveys, the use of UAVs, the study of exposed historic structures and the exhaustive examination of archival records can all play a vital role, and the development of these data capture methodologies is of the utmost importance for the future of research. As well as advances in data capture methodologies, however, the papers also present case studies in the management of the big data generated and in the integration of different methodologies. A further strength of this collection lies in the range of site types considered. While many projects have historically pursued non-intrusive research in areas relatively clear of modern buildings, a growing number of research initiatives, such as ‘Rome Transformed’ are seeking to advance them in areas which remain densely occupied. Accordingly the material presented here will also be of interest to non-archaeologists working in such diverse fields as civil engineering, urban planning and physical geography.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: As climate change becomes an increasingly important part of public discourse, the relationship between time in nature and history is changing. Nature can no longer be considered a slow and immobile background to human history, and the future can no longer be viewed as open and detached from the past. Times of History, Times of Nature engages with this historical shift in temporal sensibilities through a combination of detailed case studies and synthesizing efforts. Focusing on the history of knowledge, media theory, and environmental humanities, this volume explores the rich and nuanced notions of time and temporality that have emerged in response to climate change.

    Advances in Fusion Energy Research (2023)
    IntechOpen | IntechOpen
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Fusion power may offer a long-term energy supply with an uninterrupted power delivery, a high power-generation density, and no greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to preventing the worst effects of climate change and making an enduring contribution to future energy supply. However, the intense conditions inside a fusion power plant (extreme temperatures and high magnetic fields necessary for nuclear fusion) call for addressing several potential problems. These include the development of new materials with extremely high heat tolerances and low enough vapor pressure and the design of mechanical structures that can withstand the electromagnetic force generated as well as feedback controllers to measure and counteract the unstable modes of evolution of the plasma, to name a few. The future of nuclear fusion as an efficient alternative energy source depends largely on techniques that enable us to control these instabilities. Mathematical modelling and physical experiments attempt to overcome some of the hindrances posed by these complexities. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in this fascinating and critically important field of pure and applied physics, mathematics, and engineering, presenting some of the most recent developments in theory, modelling, algorithms, experiments, and applications.

    Description: Electromagnetic waves within a terahertz frequency range are becoming critical to investigating molecules, materials, and possible applications that are operated by both visible light and infrared rays. This book discusses sensing, imaging, and optoelectronic technologies of terahertz electromagnetic waves in theory and experiments. Most terahertz technologies can be explained by fundamentals of applied physics that have been demonstrated in other spectral ranges. However, the optoelectronic technology and corresponding configurations of imaging and sensing techniques are so special for various terahertz material polarization waves, which are excited in solid-state media by high-peak power lasers and waveguide transportation. Thus, this book also specifies terahertz parameters and available technologies.

    Following the sun (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In 1970 a small group of physicists at The Australian National University decided to veer away from the accepted and expected directions in energy research and pursued the emerging discipline of solar energy. Over the next decade ANU joined a small cluster of research institutions, including the CSIRO, UNSW and the University of Sydney, to emerge as a world leader in solar energy technology. This book traces the history of solar energy research at ANU over 35 years from its origin, its sometimes controversial early stages, through its flagship projects to its current status as one of the world's best known solar energy research establishments. It is as much a story of the future as it is a history: Following the sun is the story of how an idea to pursue what was in 1970 a new and unpopular research path has come to underpin sustainable development in the 21st Century.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: The intermittent nature of solar energy sources is the greatest challenge to the broad acceptance of this technology. The storage of thermal energy presents a workable option for addressing this issue. When it comes to the storage of thermal energy, latent heat storage units (LHSU) that make use of phase change materials (PCMs) are more desirable than sensible heat storage. In the context of a large increase in the demand for energy, PCMs are an essential class of thermal energy storage materials that contribute to the sustainable growth of both the economy and society. It stores large amounts of heat in the form of latent heat at a constant temperature. This promising technique has already been applied with great success in a variety of applications like solar appliances, buildings, battery thermal management, electronic cooling, waste heat recovery systems, textiles, and more. This book presents an in-depth discussion on PCMs, the current state of PCM technology, and a detailed description of their prospective applications.

    Fast Measurement of Individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: While binaural technology applications gained in popularity in recent years, the majority of applications still use non-individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) from artificial heads. However, certain applications, for example research of spatial hearing or hearing attention, require an physically exact and realistic binaural signal. The limiting factor that prohibits the widespread use of individual HRTFs is the acquisition time of such data. This time requirement has recently been reduced by the use of parallelization in the measurement signal which lead to the development of fast measurement systems capable of acquiring individual and spatially dense HRTF. This thesis provides a objective and subjective evaluation of such a system that is designed with the goal of little disturbance of the measurements in mind. The construction is detailed, followed by both an objective and subjective evaluation. A detailed investigation into additional distortion of the sound field introduced by the system itself is presented and it is shown that the system performs comparably to a conventional system in terms of sound source localization. Furthermore, a method is introduced and evaluated to further reduce the measurement time by using continuous rotation during the measurement. This method is used to reduced the measurement duration from eight minutes to three minutes without audible differences.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Die Teilchenphysik als Teilgebiet der modernen Physik gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung im schulischen Physikunterricht. In dieser Arbeit wird erstmalig das von Lehrkräften benötigte Fachwissen zur Teilchenphysik modelliert, wobei Fachwissen als ein Teil des Professionswissens verstanden wird. Als Fachwissensdimensionen werden die Inhaltsbereiche und die Wissensarten in den Fokus genommen, für welche jeweils Subfacetten identifiziert und präzise beschrieben werden. Nach einem überblick über die wesentlichen Ideen der Teilchenphysik wird in der Arbeit die sukzessive Modellierung des Fachwissens im Rahmen einer qualitativ und quantitativ angelegten Delphi-Studie vorgestellt. In drei Befragungsrunden wurden zwischen 35 und 65 internationale Expertinnen und Experten aus der teilchenphysikbezogenen Forschung (Fachwissenschaft und Fachdidaktik) und öffentlichkeitsarbeit (u.a. Wissenschaftsjournalismus) sowie erfahrene Lehrkräfte zu den für das Fachwissen relevanten Themen der Teilchenphysik befragt. Empirische Analysen der Befragungsrunden ergaben, dass sich die Dimension Inhaltsbereiche im deklarativen Wissen aus zehn teilchenphysikalischen Themen (z.B. Teilchen in der Hochenergiephysik, die vier fundamentalen Wechselwirkungen) zusammensetzt, von welchen sechs als besonders relevant eingeschätzt wurden. Im Anschluss an die letzte Befragungsrunde wurde theoriegeleitet eine erste Modellierung der Inhaltsbereiche für die Wissensarten des prozeduralen und konditionalen Wissens vorgenommen.

    Dynamic iteration and model order reduction for magneto-quasistatic systems (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: Our world today is becoming increasingly complex, and technical devices are getting ever smaller and more powerful. The high density of electronic components together with high clock frequencies leads to unwanted side-effects like crosstalk, delayed signals and substrate noise, which are no longer negligible in chip design and can only insufficiently be represented by simple lumped circuit models. As a result, different physical phenomena have to be taken into consideration since they have an increasing influence on the signal propagation in integrated circuits. Computer-based simulation methods play thereby a key role. The modelling and analysis of complex multi-physics problems typically leads to coupled systems of partial differential equations and differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). Dynamic iteration and model order reduction are two numerical tools for efficient and fast simulation of coupled systems. Formodelling of low frequency electromagnetic field, we use magneto-quasistatic (MQS) systems which can be considered as an approximation to Maxwells equations. A spatial discretization by using the finite element method leads to a DAE system. We analyze the structural and physical properties of this system and develop passivity-preserving model reduction methods. A special block structure of the MQS model is exploited to to improve the performance of the model reduction algorithms.

    Study of an alternative phase field model for low interfacial energy in elastic solids (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: In 2005, the hybrid model was published by Prof. H.-D. Alber and Prof. P. Zhu as an alternative to the Allen-Cahn model for the description of phase field transformations. With low interfacial energy, it is more efficient, since the resolution of the diffuse interface is numerically broader for the same solution accuracy and allows coarser meshing. The solutions of both models are associated with energy minimisation and in this work the error terms introduced in the earlier publications are discussed and documented using one and two dimensional numerical simulations. In the last part of this book, phase field problems, initially not coupled with material equations, are combined with linear elasticity and, after simple introductory examples, a growing martensitic inclusion is simulated and compared with literature data. In addition to the confirmed numerical advantage, another phenomenon not previously described in the literature is found: with the hybrid model, in contrast to the examples calculated with the Allen-Cahn model, an inclusion driven mainly by curvature energy does not disappear completely. The opposite problem prevents inclusions from growing from very small initial configurations, but this fact can be remedied by a very finely chosen diffuse interface width and by analysing and adjusting the terms that generate the modelling errors. The last example shows that the hybrid model can be used with numerical advantages despite the above mentioned peculiarities.

    On the Stability of Objective Structures (Volume 38) (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The main focus of this thesis is the discussion of stability of an objective (atomic) structure consisting of single atoms which interact via a potential. We define atomistic stability using a second derivative test. More precisely, atomistic stability is equivalent to a vanishing first derivative of the configurational energy (at the corresponding point) and the coerciveness of the second derivative of the configurational energy with respect to an appropriate semi-norm. Atomistic stability of a lattice is well understood, see, e.,g., [40]. The aim of this thesis is to generalize the theory to objective structures. In particular, we first investigate discrete subgroups of the Euclidean group, then define an appropriate seminorm and the atomistic stability for a given objective structure, and finally provide an efficient algorithm to check its atomistic stability. The algorithm particularly checks the validity of the Cauchy-Born rule for objective structures. To illustrate our results, we prove numerically the stability of a carbon nanotube by applying the algorithm.

    Investigation on the dissemination of unit watt in airborne sound and applications (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Sound power describes the emission of sound from sound sources. Despite today's state-of-the art measurement techniques, the current sound power determination methods are restricted due to various limitations. To overcome these limitations, a new sound power determination method is proposed, aiming at the establishment of traceability in airborne sound. This will enable the characterization of a sound source by its free field sound power. The dissertation describes a study on the dissemination process, which will allow the sound power of a device under test located at a real surrounding environment, to be referred to its free field sound power. Apart from the sound power, the corresponding uncertainty may be estimated in a transparent way, where each uncertainty component is provided. The basic tool for the dissemination process is the substitution method using aerodynamic reference sound sources, applied to both sound pressure and sound intensity measurements. Initially, a theoretical investigation deals with the factors that influence the substitution method. Experimental results are then presented based on measurements using a specially designed scanning apparatus. The transition from calibration to in situ conditions and the required correction, due to changes in environmental and operational conditions, is then discussed. In the last section, the sound power level of devices under test is determined along with its related uncertainty, which is further compared to the up-to-date uncertainty values.

    Anthropometric Individualization of Head-Related Transfer Functions Analysis and Modeling (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: Human sound localization helps to pay attention to spatially separated speakers using interaural level and time differences as well as angle-dependent monaural spectral cues. In a monophonic teleconference, for instance, it is much more difficult to distinguish between different speakers due to missing binaural cues. Spatial positioning of the speakers by means of binaural reproduction methods using head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) enhances speech comprehension. These HRTFs are influenced by the torso, head and ear geometry as they describe the propagation path of the sound from a source to the ear canal entrance. Through this geometry-dependency, the HRTF is directional and subject-dependent. To enable a sufficient reproduction, individual HRTFs should be used. However, it is tremendously difficult to measure these HRTFs. For this reason this thesis proposes approaches to adapt the HRTFs applying individual anthropometric dimensions of a user. Since localization at low frequencies is mainly influenced by the interaural time difference, two models to adapt this difference are developed and compared with existing models. Furthermore, two approaches to adapt the spectral cues at higher frequencies are studied, improved and compared. Although the localization performance with individualized HRTFs is slightly worse than with individual HRTFs, it is nevertheless still better than with non-individual HRTFs, taking into account the measurement effort.

    Providing orbit information with predetermined bounded accuracy (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: The exchange of orbit information is becoming more important in view of the increasing population of objects in space as well as the increase in parties involved in space operations. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how orbit information maintained by a space surveillance system can be provided to its users. Services like collision avoidance require very accurate information, while other services might be less stringent. An approach was studied, which allows to derive orbit and covariance information of predetermined accuracy from a reference orbit. Using Chebyshev polynomials, continuous state vector and covariance matrix information can be provided. The major advantage is that no inter- or extrapolation on the user's side is required. A method to reduce the data amount by interpolating the variance envelope functions was also studied. The proposed method in this thesis gives access to highly accurate information from the catalogue, where this information is required. On the other hand it can also provide less accurate information, where requirements are less restrictive, thereby allowing for a significantly reduced amount of data to be transferred and stored.

    Perspectives On String Phenomenology (2022)
    World Scientific Publishing Company | World Scientific
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: The remarkable recent discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider completed the Standard Model of particle physics and has paved the way for understanding the physics which may lie beyond it. String/M theory has emerged as a broad framework for describing a plethora of diverse physical systems, which includes condensed matter systems, gravitational systems as well as elementary particle physics interactions. If string/M theory is to be considered as a candidate theory of Nature, it must contain an effectively four-dimensional universe among its solutions that is indistinguishable from our own. In these solutions, the extra dimensions of string/M theory are “compactified” on tiny scales which are often comparable to the Planck length. String phenomenology is the branch of string/M theory that studies such solutions, relates their properties to data, and aims to answer many of the outstanding questions of particle physics beyond the Standard Model.This book contains perspectives on string phenomenology from some of the leading experts in the field. Contributions will range from pedagogical general overviews and perspectives to more technical reviews. We hope that the reader will get a sense of the significant progress that has been made in the field in recent years (e.g. in the topic of moduli stabilization) as well as the topics currently being researched, outstanding problems and some perspectives for the future.

    High Performance Propagation of Large Object Populations in Earth Orbits (2022)
    Logos Verlag Berlin | Logos Verlag Berlin
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Orbital debris is becoming an increasing problem for space flight missions. New satellite launches, explosions, collisions and other events cause a steady rise in the number of objects orbiting the Earth. It is therefore important to determine the future development of the object population, as well as the effectiveness of debris mitigation measures, in long-term simulations. Orbital propagation, the calculation of an object's movement in its orbit, poses a challenge for this research due to the high computation times of the complex perturbation models involved. With populations consisting of hundreds of thousands of objects as well as simulation time frames of up to 200 years, these calculations can take up hours of computation time. To speed up this process, the analytical propagator Ikebana is introduced in this work of applied computer science in engineering. The program runs on graphics processing units, hardware designed for massively parallel execution of up to thousands of concurrent threads. This reduces the overall run time for large object populations from hours to minutes. Porting software from a conventional CPU is not a trivial task and involves a number of potential pitfalls and optimization opportunities which are detailed in this work. The propagator is integrated into other applications via a generic, multi-platform interface specifically designed for this task. It allows to develop the propagator separately and integrate it into other tools as a plugin at run time. The interface's architecture serves as a design template for analytical propagation software.

    Lawless Universe (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Can science fully comprehend the whole of the material universe? Not according to Joe Rosen.There is no question that advancements in science—especially in physics—have radically changed our concept of nature, revolutionizing our view of the universe, even of reality itself. Rosen argues, though, that the material universe in its entirety lies beyond science. Anyone who claims otherwise, who proposes a scientific Theory of Everything to explain all aspects and phenomena of nature, only misleads and misinforms. Taking science—and the scientific method—down a peg, Rosen asserts that any understanding of the whole universe, if it is to be found at all, can come only from outside science, from nonscientific modes of comprehension and insight. He believes that popularizers of science—think Stephen Hawking and Richard Dawkins—are mistaken when they declare that science is on the verge of unlocking all the secrets of the universe. Perhaps without realizing it, they have crossed into the realm of metaphysics in an attempt to explain the unexplainable. In Lawless Universe Rosen explores just how far science can go in comprehending nature. He considers the separate—but entangled—domains of science and metaphysics and examines the all-too-often ignored boundary between the objective and the subjective. Thought-provoking and controversial, Lawless Universe is a complement to, even an antidote for, books that create the misimpression that science can explain everything.

    Molecular Beams in Physics and Chemistry (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: This Open Access book gives a comprehensive account of both the history and current achievements of molecular beam research. In 1919, Otto Stern launched the revolutionary molecular beam technique. This technique made it possible to send atoms and molecules with well-defined momentum through vacuum and to measure with high accuracy the deflections they underwent when acted upon by transversal forces. These measurements revealed unforeseen quantum properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules that became the basis for our current understanding of quantum matter. This volume shows that many key areas of modern physics and chemistry owe their beginnings to the seminal molecular beam work of Otto Stern and his school. Written by internationally recognized experts, the contributions in this volume will help experienced researchers and incoming graduate students alike to keep abreast of current developments in molecular beam research as well as to appreciate the history and evolution of this powerful method and the knowledge it reveals.

    Publication Date: 2021-02-10
    Description: This open access report explores the nature and extent of students’ misconceptions and misunderstandings related to core concepts in physics and mathematics and physics across grades four, eight and 12. Twenty years of data from the IEA’s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and TIMSS Advanced assessments are analyzed, specifically for five countries (Italy, Norway, Russian Federation, Slovenia, and the United States) who participated in all or almost all TIMSS and TIMSS Advanced assessments between 1995 and 2015. The report focuses on students’ understandings related to gravitational force in physics and linear equations in mathematics. It identifies some specific misconceptions, errors, and misunderstandings demonstrated by the TIMSS Advanced grade 12 students for these core concepts, and shows how these can be traced back to poor foundational development of these concepts in earlier grades. Patterns in misconceptions and misunderstandings are reported by grade, country, and gender. In addition, specific misconceptions and misunderstandings are tracked over time, using trend items administered in multiple assessment cycles. The study and associated methodology may enable education systems to help identify specific needs in the curriculum, improve inform instruction across grades and also raise possibilities for future TIMSS assessment design and reporting that may provide more diagnostic outcomes.

    Description: Este pequeno volume apresenta uma espécie de cronologia e ‘balanço’ da doença nas três últimas décadas, observando ainda os aspectos sociais e culturais de um fenômeno mundial. Ao apreciar a leitura percebemos que a história da Aids compreende, infelizmente, relatos degradantes de estigmatização e marginalização de pessoas sob risco de contrair/transmitir o HIV ou já vivendo com a infecção. Felizmente, também existem histórias de solidariedade e altruísmo, mobilização social e os avanços de uma ciência praticada com ética e qualidade.

    Medicinas indígenas e as políticas da tradição : entre discursos oficiais e vozes indígenas (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora FIOCRUZ
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-21
    Description: Compreender o processo de emergência das medicinas tradicionais indígenas no campo das políticas públicas de saúde indígena é o objetivo deste livro, que analisa os discursos proferidos por uma diversidade de atores – indígenas e não indígenas, governamentais e não governamentais, nacionais e internacionais. Dessa forma, a obra revela uma dinâmica que vai do global e ao local, e transforma os contextos envolvidos, originando novas formações culturais. As políticas públicas que qualificam os seus objetos e público-alvo com a categoria ‘tradição’ conformam uma formação discursiva, definida pela autora como ‘políticas da tradição’. Um exemplo são as políticas voltadas à saúde indígena, que têm buscado reconhecer a eficácia das medicinas tradicionais indígenas e articulá-las com o sistema oficial de saúde. No entanto, “ao serem apropriados pelos povos indígenas, os discursos oficiais são postos a serviço dos seus interesses culturalmente situados – assim, estamos diante do fenômeno da indigenização”, diz a pesquisadora. E essa ‘indigenização’ se refere aos processos “levados a efeito pelos povos indígenas ao se apropriarem das políticas públicas a fim de manter a sua autonomia e reverter a seu favor o controle que o Estado passa a exercer sobre o mundo da vida de suas comunidades”. O livro busca contribuir para a consolidação do direito indígena à atenção diferenciada à sua saúde, considerando as relações historicamente construídas entre povos indígenas e Estado.

    Vigilância alimentar e nutricional para a saúde Indígena, Vol. 1 (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora FIOCRUZ
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-21
    Description: A importância da diversidade étnica brasileira e seus desafios são aspectos fundamentais para os profissionais que atuam no campo da saúde indígena. É nesse contexto que se insere o primeiro volume desta publicação. Trata-se de contribuição relevante e inédita ao debate e à consolidação da vigilância alimentar e nutricional no âmbito da saúde indígena. Povos indígenas e o processo saúde-doença; situações e determinantes de saúde e nutrição da população brasileira; sociodiversidade, alimentação e nutrição indígena; políticas públicas e intervenções nutricionais: eis alguns dos temas abordados nesta coletânea, valioso instrumento de reflexão também sobre as potencialidades do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (Sisvan) para a prevenção de agravos nutricionais e a promoção da saúde. Já o segundo volume discute a avaliação nutricional de comunidades e indivíduos, em todas as faixas etárias e mesmo na gestação, e destaca as duas faces de um problema: os déficits de crescimento ou subnutrição, de um lado, e o sobrepeso e a obesidade, de outro. Oferece ao leitor as bases para a realização do diagnóstico nutricional na atenção básica; aprofunda o estudo de técnicas e procedimentos usados nas medições antropométricas; destaca como a informação pode orientar ações, reorganizar serviços e melhorar a assistência; e explica as etapas de organização do fluxo de dados, desde a construção até o uso para o planejamento de intervenções, passando pela análise (com ferramentas estatísticas e epidemiológicas) e pela divulgação de resultados.

    Rumo ao interior : médicos, saúde da família e mercado de trabalho (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora FIOCRUZ

    Publication Date: 2023-12-21
    Description: Um dos grandes desafios para a consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é a distribuição geográfica dos profissionais e serviços de saúde. Compreender tal desafio e fornecer subsídios para enfrentá-lo são os objetivos dos autores, nesse estudo. A distribuição desigual reflete outro problema: a concentração dos serviços de saúde e das escolas médicas nas regiões economicamente mais favorecidas, facilitando a permanência dos profissionais, depois de formados, no Sul e Sudeste, apesar da expansão dos postos de trabalho no Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste. Quatro programas de interiorização são analisados: o Projeto Rondon, o Programa de Interiorização das Ações de Saúde e Saneamento (Piass), o Programa de Interiorização do SUS (Pisus) e o Programa de Interiorização do Trabalho em Saúde (Pits). Este último, por ser uma iniciativa inédita do Ministério da Saúde, é avaliado em detalhes em um dos capítulos.

    Promoção da saúde: a construção social de um conceito em perspectiva comparada (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora FIOCRUZ
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-21
    Description: A crescente necessidade de mudanças profundas na abordagem da saúde e nas práticas de atenção tem gerado intenso debate internacional, convergindo para a proposição de um novo paradigma. Este é baseado na promoção da saúde, a qual defende uma evolução substantiva no modo como são formuladas e implementadas as políticas públicas, sociais e econômicas que influenciam diretamente as condições de saúde da população. Neste livro, a autora reconstitui com maestria a história social da tessitura do conceito e das práticas de promoção da saúde como crítica ao entendimento prioritariamente biomédico da saúde. Analisa como Brasil e Canadá incorporaram em suas políticas públicas a proposta de promoção da saúde ratificada pela Declaração de Otawa, em 1986, assim como também os componentes conceituais da proposta, teoricamente e em suas apropriações pelos dois países. No caso do Brasil, a análise centrou-se na proposta do SUS, e no do Canadá examinaram-se os diversos documentos originários da proposta e de sua evolução. Disso emergem e são abordadas as discussões sobre a medicina como instituição social, a crise do Estado, o Estado neoliberal e a cooperação técnica internacional em saúde. Obra que, por seu conteúdo, provoca instigantes questões, aqui tratadas primorosamente por Lucíola.

    Description: Política, planejamento e gestão em saúde: três pilares do SUS em revisão numa obra que traz a contextualização histórica desde os anos 1970, quando surgiu a Associação Brasileira de Pós Graduação em Saúde Coletiva (Abrasco) e grande parte da produção teórica referia-se apenas às políticas de saúde. Já nos anos 1980, o foco direcionou-se especialmente aos estudos sobre planejamento. A década seguinte foi a era da gestão, do estudo de modelos e de programas; e, enfim, no novo milênio, predominaram investigações sobre avaliação de programas e de serviços. Um movimento do geral ao particular, indicativo de dificuldades ideológicas – enfraquecimento da cultura das políticas públicas – e de contrastes entre as políticas e a gestão em saúde, no nascimento da nova política científica brasileira.

    Description: With applications in quantum field theory, general relativity and elementary particle physics, this three-volume work studies the invariance of differential operators under Lie algebras, quantum groups and superalgebras. This second volume covers quantum groups in their two main manifestations: quantum algebras and matrix quantum groups. The exposition covers both the general aspects of these and a great variety of concrete explicitly presented examples. The invariant q-difference operators are introduced mainly using representations of quantum algebras on their dual matrix quantum groups as carrier spaces. This is the first book that covers the title matter applied to quantum groups.

    Obesidade e saúde pública (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora FIOCRUZ
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-21
    Description: O livro aborda a questão do avanço da alimentação do tipo fast food, lembrando que o Brasil está entre os cinco países que mais cresceram nos últimos anos entre todos os mercados da rede McDonald´s no planeta, e traz algumas das observações do documentário Super Size Me (cujo título no Brasil ganhou um complemento: A dieta do palhaço). Nele, o cineasta Morgan Spurlock se submeteu a uma dieta composta de alimentos da famosa rede americana durante 30 dias seguidos. Balanço da experiência: depois de um mês, Spurlock ganhou 11 quilos, tinha acúmulo de gordura no fígado, sinais de depressão, sentia-se exausto facilmente e havia aumentado o nível de colesterol no sangue. O autor de Obesidade e Saúde Pública relaciona a introdução da modalidade de vale-refeição como uma das causas para o aumento de refeições realizadas em bares, restaurantes e lanchonetes e a conseqüente adoção de hábitos de alimentação não exatamente saudáveis. Entre os males ligados ao sobrepeso e à obesidade, o autor descreve a doença coronariana, o acidente vascular cerebral, a osteoartrite e o câncer do endométrio, da mama, da próstata e do cólon. Na parte final, a publicação enfoca a questão da prevenção e do controle da obesidade e lança luz nos programas e ações que tendem a culpar o indivíduo por se alimentar mal e por não ser ativo na prática de atividades físicas.

    Cartografias do envelhecimento na contemporaneidade: velhice e terceira idade (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Desde a década de 1950, diversas pesquisas e estatísticas têm apontado o crescente envelhecimento da população mundial. O Brasil, acostumado a se representar como um país jovem, foi surpreendido com o aumento continuado dos mais velhos, como apontam os censos das últimas décadas, e está sendo forçado a encarar essa nova realidade, acrescentando a velhice no conjunto das preocupações e dos investimentos sociais. Com base em um vasto levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema e na sua experiência de trabalho com grupos de idosos, a autora analisa o envelhecimento humano no cenário brasileiro como algo que ultrapassa os determinismos biológicos e a ação decisiva do tempo, sendo modelado também por imagens e sentidos criados pelo conhecimento científico e por políticas públicas do Estado. Além disso, ressalta que os estigmas relacionados à velhice cederam lugar a tentativas de representá-la como um período da vida que pode comportar atividades produtivas, realização de projetos e participação ativa no mercado de consumo e que a velhice não é um fato uno e inexorável, mas uma construção humana que abre margens para experiências e significações múltiplas.

Enfim, uma obra com o mérito de mostrar que, na 'corrida' por compreender a febre amarela e finalmente anular os seus efeitos, o passo dos que 'perderam' também bateu o chão sobre o qual se ergueria o pódio para os 'vencedores'.

    Publication Date: 2023-12-21
    Description: A saúde da população mundial tem melhorado, porém, apesar do impressionante avanço tecnológico, ainda há graves problemas a superar - entre estes, o maior talvez seja a desigualdade.
