Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Foam plastic materials based on phenol-formaldehyde resins have unique physical, chemical and operational properties. They have an amazing thermal resistance, do not burn, poorly conduct heat. However, the complexity of their manufacture by classical methods makes this valuable material very difficult to obtain for industrial production. The use of microwave activation has allowed not only to reduce the time of production of this material many times, but also to significantly reduce the range of chemicals used in the manufacture of this material. The use of microwave activation made it possible to eliminate the use of highly toxic reagents that do not comply with the principles of the Green Chemistry concept. In this book the methods of synthesis of phenol-formaldehyde foams are considered in detail. The method of searching for optimal conditions for synthesis of this material is described in detail. The book will be useful for students, master's students, doctoral candidates, researchers interested in high-molecular compounds and their synthesis under conditions of microwave activation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -It is hoped that this research will make a significant contribution to the study of human history, since technology is the main element influencing human evolution. In this sense, a brief analysis will be made of the development of Homo, from its emergence to the present day, specifying its generations and cultural changes found in recent years. According to this evolutionary process, new characteristics are manifested that name each stage of its evolution, thus giving rise to more than five Generations (Baby Boomers, W, X, Y, Z and Alpha) with divergent characteristics, which leads us to reflect on the number of nomenclatures for the same evolutionary level of man (Homo Sapiens), influenced by the technological advances made in each of his eras, which in turn have been occurring in parallel with his technological advances, so the generations arrive increasingly adapted and with mastery of the technologies developed in previous generations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The aim of this work is to problematize and discuss the environment in educational institutions in a different way. To do this, we created the RPGBIO environment game, based on the rules of the Role Playing Game. In this way, the players (students) have the freedom to create their characters with all the characteristics they want and also with unlimited possibilities of interacting with the other players within the imaginary world where the game's adventures take place. In addition, the RPG has a MASTER who is the narrator of the story, responsible for creating the challenges that the players have to face. For this game, the setting where the RPG adventures take place is the Pampa Biome, more specifically the Vacacaí River in the municipality of São Gabriel, RS. In this way, biology content, nature conservation and selective waste collection are worked on in an interactive and fun way. The methodology applied is part of the dialectical participatory approach, in which players (students), in the scenarios presented, take on interpretative roles and, as active subjects, get involved in discussions, identifying and finding solutions to environmental problems.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -With the aim of serving as an academic and professional guide, this work sought to clarify absolutely relevant points about inheritance law between spouses, addressing the property regimes provided for in current civil legislation and emphasising the conventional separation regime. This research was motivated by the great legal debate that exists on the subject. The subject has gained relevance due to the decision of the STJ in REsp 992.749-MS, which stated that a surviving spouse married under this property regime is not an heir when in competition with descendants, which was overturned in the judgement of REsp 1.472.945/RJ, which concluded in absolutely the opposite direction. Thus, in the face of absolutely opposite conclusions by the highest court that regulates Brazilian infra-constitutional law, legal uncertainty on the subject is an incontrovertible point, the discussion of which is the subject of this book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -We offer an overview of the epistemological disjunctivisms of Duncan Pritchard and Alain Millar and their critique by Christoph Kelp within a synthesis of first-knowledge-epistemology and ability epistemology. All approaches, including Kelp's, have their shortcomings. To address them, it is proposed that paradigmatic perceptual knowledge should be treated by starting from an analysis of Wittgenstein's notion of axial proposition. In addition, despite Timothy Williamson's criticism of Wittgensteinism, the Wittgensteinian treatment is compatible with a 'pure' first-knowledge-epistemology, which we believe is a more fundamental approach than the other approaches. We combine Williamson's epistemology and Wittgenstein's second philosophy. The fundamental epistemic rule (norm) for opinion is knowledge. We believe that the so-called Getye cases have primarily a conceptual status. They indicate that the standard definition of knowledge as true valid opinion is missing something. We define knowledge as a 'successful' opinion, that is, a true justified opinion, provided that the epistemic 'gap' between justification and fact is closed 'pragmatically' in the sense of the problem of following a rule.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This paper seeks to identify the level of maturity in project management in the Brazilian distance education sector and relate it to some of the characteristics of the organizations, such as size, area of activity and nature of the projects. The sector is undergoing transformations as a result of technological advances, the Brazilian political and economic situation, mergers and the strengthening of large organizations, affecting the way products and services are offered. Faced with these challenges, higher levels of maturity can result in more predictable projects, increasing the chances of success and reducing errors and rework. Therefore, maturity in project management can help organizations to be prepared to follow the trends and overcome the challenges of the sector, if the strategic direction of the organization moves in this direction. Maturity models can be used to identify and measure how prepared an organization is to manage projects.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The central idea in Mounier's Personalism is based on the personal way of existing, which is the primordial form of human existence. The seven structures that make up the personal universe define this way of existing: embodied existence, communication, intimate conversion, confrontation, freedom under condition, eminent dignity and commitment. Man's existence must be conquered in the search for liberation, which does not happen suddenly, but is a process of transformation of consciousness throughout history. Liberation will come about not only through man's conscience, but also in his relationship with others, through the community, which is a Person of persons. This liberation is a commitment that implies political action centred on the rescue of the Person. This is where the theme of engagement comes into its own. Those who are engaged are open to travelling to the bottom of the action, linking their practice to an incarnate and concrete meditation through the witness of life. And in the situations in which we find ourselves, only a personalist and community revolution can guarantee the rescue of the Person, assuming the options for life. And here, option means taking a commitment seriously and committing to it.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The main motivation behind this work is the exploration of collaborative tools based on user location. The aim is to use user location as a way of extracting relevant information from a database, making use of mobile computing. Using a PDA, users of the prototype, DIGRA (Digital Graffiti), can obtain information, collect information and carry out topographical routes using the digital terrain model, defining their current position using GPS. When designing the work, the possibility of this prototype being used in both the civilian and military models was raised. In both models, the information is presented to the user via messages and alerts, depending on the distance from certain locations. In the military model, the collection of information is also very important, making it easy to obtain the geographical coordinates of the location, namely latitude and longitude, as well as filling in relevant information using a form, which will then be made available to various users.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -It can be seen that contemporary capitalism's transformations in rural production structures have developed strategies that allow agriculture to operate in increasingly commercialized markets. This agricultural constancy shows its ability to adapt, making it one of the main forms of economic production and social reproduction of agricultural modernization. Family farming stands out for its strong presence, especially in local market development strategies. Looking more specifically at the context of family units located in the region of the Sertão do Apodi Territory, in Rio Grande do Norte, we see an increase in pluriactivity as a result of the evolution of the non-agricultural labor market, a product of the diversification of sources of income in non-urban areas, which makes it possible for a combination of agricultural and non-agricultural activities to emerge in this rural environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -With the world's growing demand for products and supplies, companies are increasingly looking to apply new technologies in the context of solutions combined with cost reductions in the logistics chain. However, new technologies are being developed and companies tend to reorganize themselves into two physical structures, thus seeking to improve their performance in a more secure way. Having control and performance and following administrative rules guarantee part of this. According to Balloou, 'if you don't control, your plan will fail' is an old administrative refrain that simply affirms the need to include the control function in logistics management. Consumption of products and services, costs, service level requirements, legal restrictions, everything can change over time.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.
