This book reveals how the critique of the domination of capitalism inaugurated by the Frankfurt School becomes pluriversal, motivating the historical Critical Theory of Coloniality (CTC) dialogue between the Global South and the Global North. CTC expresses the emergence and historical actuality of a set of intellectual fields aimed at denouncing domination and promoting emancipatory ideas at the borders of colonial capitalism. The book argues that the actuality of the CTC relies on the importance of valuing theoretical and methodological pluralism in the context of the necessary redefinition of the directions of global society. It reveals a plural reflection of scientific, moral, and aesthetic character in different areas of former planetary colonisation such as Asia, Africa, and America but also on the borders of Europe. This book is aimed at researchers and students in the social sciences as well as in interdisciplinary studies. It is attractive to those who are interested in the plural development of theoretical criticism outside the European universe and who seek to understand how capitalist power has metamorphosed with planetary coloniality. Considering this book implies important reflections on topics such as development, modernity, tradition, imperialism, dependency, and democracy, it is interesting to specialists in development issues, international relations, and policymakers.

The authors wrote an essential handbook for good leadership by linking theories of communication with employees and communicators'' testimonials from around the world to their practice of years of work in organizations. In addition, they convey the message that, in these new times, free, direct, open and multidirectional communication is the best way to humanize labor relations. It is this communication that transforms all leaders and employees into agents who move in the same direction, pursuing the same goals of success. This book inspires us to say that being strategic, today, is being dialogical.

I am someone who has, after years of studying non-duality and one year of non-dual practice, attained full and complete enlightenment. I am very sure the kind of enlightenment I got was the highest it''s possible to get as a live human being here on earth. Well, actually, I never got anything-I just lost all delusions.Of course, we can always go "further" when it comes to spiritual development, but when it comes to enlightenment, I believe there''s a set limit to how far you can get, due to the very limitations of existing in a body as a human being (well, in fact we never "exist" in a body, but you get my point, right?). Because of this, If anyone claims they have reached a higher level of enlightenment than mine''s, surely this person must be a disembodied being, a liar, or a total beast.Overall, I would like to share with the world my experiences when it comes to spirituality, because the path I have traveled few others have also traveled, and even fewer have shared their own experiences about the path that leads to the goal of enlightenment. In this book, I will teach theory, practice and share my own direct experiences on the subject of spirituality. Because non-duality was my "dharma gate", I believe the stories I''ll tell in this book will resemble the stories told my many Advaita masters, such as Nisardagatta Maharaj Ramana Maharshi, Adi Shankara and others.

This book addresses two extremely important aspects of workplaces, namely, noise and ergonomics. Its thirteen chapters present and discuss theoretical and practical issues involving noise and/or ergonomics, covering a wide and diverse spectrum of working environments that directly affect thousands of workers around the world. The design of the environment is discussed through the relationship between ergonomics and architecture, revealing that the efficient integration between these factors allows us to outline boundaries in the search for solutions to the various specificities of the organisation and its different workplaces. The analytical techniques used throughout the book are widely diverse and include in-situ acoustic measurements, computer simulations and analysis of noise perception. The various working environments evaluated herein include schools, universities, health care facilities, fitness centres, factories, open plan offices, and urban buses.

BACKGROUND: Stroke constitutes a severe and complex disorder with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. In recent years, genetic factors have been pointed as important risk contributors for stroke pathogenesis. CDKN2A/2B gene has been described in association with the risk of multiple diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and stroke. We aimed to investigate the association of rs2383207 polymorphism, nearby CDKN2A/2B gene, with the susceptibility to Large Artery Atherosclerosis Ischemic stroke (LAA-IS) in Brazilian population. METHODS: For the study, 195 patients classified by TOAST criteria, 249 stroke-free controls from Joinville Stroke Biobank were matched by age and gender. Genotypes were determined by TaqMan real-time PCR assay. RESULTS: We found a significant difference in the distribution of the rs2383207*A allele frequencies between cases and controls (58% vs 19%; p = 4.66 E-10) and increased risk for LAA-IS due to this allele [OR 2.35 (95% CI = 1.79 - 3.08)]. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first study correlating the polymorphism rs2383207 with stroke in Brazilian population, which may be useful for understand the genetic role in LAA-IS predisposition.Key- Words: Ischemic Stroke - genetic variants - CKDN2A/2B gene.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a serious complication associated with chronic liver disease. Current guidelines recommended HCC surveillance using ultrasound (US) every six months. However, US surveillance can be challenging for some patients, particularly those with cirrhosis or obesity. Alternately, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and abbreviated MRI have been explored as alternative imaging modalities and may be used in selected patients who are likely to have experienced inadequate US examinations. In this thesis, we aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of imaging-based surveillance and diagnostic strategies in patients at risk of HCC while taking into account technically inadequate examinations and patients'' compliance. We compared seven surveillance and diagnostic strategies: strategy A, US for surveillance and CT for diagnosis; strategy B, US for surveillance and MRI for diagnosis; strategy C, US for surveillance and CT for inadequate or positive surveillance; strategy D, US for surveillance and MRI for inadequate or positive surveillance; strategy E, surveillance and diagnosis with CT followed by MRI for inadequate surveillance; strategy F, surveillance and diagnosis with MRI followed by CT for inadequate surveillance; and strategy G, surveillance with abbreviated MRI followed by CT for inadequate surveillance or MRI for positive surveillance. Two compliance scenarios were evaluated: optimal and conservative. For each scenario, the most cost-effective strategy was based on a willingness-to-pay threshold of Can$50,000 (Canadian dollars) per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). We also performed sensitivity analyses. Our results demonstrated that strategy E was the most cost-effective strategy in scenarios with optimal patient compliance (Can$13,631/QALY). However, in scenarios with low patient compliance, strategy G was the most cost-effective alternative to the current US-surveillance practice (Can$39,681/QALY). Sensitivity analyses supported the base-case analysis in the optimal compliance scenario; however, several parameters altered the cost-effectiveness relationship in the conservative compliance scenario. By performing this economic analysis, we concluded that an individual approach, considering the clinical particularities of the patients, is more cost-effective than the current "one-size-fits-all" strategy. However, before implementing a surveillance program incorporating imaging modalities other than US, future studies should address the economic burden associated with false-positive HCC diagnoses and the accuracy of abbreviated MRI examinations in a surveillance setting.

Overview: The global atmospheric CO2 concentration is rising and in 2013 it surpassed 400 parts per million for the first time in human history. Plants can sense CO2 concentrations in leaves and adapt transpiration accordingly. Ultimately, plants control gas exchange by opening and closing stomatal pores, which are highly responsive to changes in CO2 concentration, and CO2-mediated regulation of stomatal conductance has profound effects on plants. Among several signals that regulate stomatal movements, the stress hormone Abscisic Acid (ABA) plays a critical role in plant responses to abiotic stresses such as drought. The molecular signaling mechanisms and network principles by which CO2 and ABA control plant gas exchange were investigated. Three unbiased forward genetic screens were pursued and, after screening over 10,000 artificial microRNA lines and over 1,000 EMS mutagenized Brachypodium lines, partially ABA or CO2 insensitive lines were isolated and are currently being characterized. Major Goal: Due to the rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, CO2 control of gas exchange in plants will have profound effects on global water-transpiration, plant water use efficiency, leaf heat stress and optimal stomatal conductance of plants, including crops. Elevated CO2 concentrations in leaves cause stomatal closure, whereas reduced CO2 concentrations result in stomatal opening. However, little is known about the molecular signal transduction mechanisms that mediate CO2-induced stomatal movements, especially in grasses. Besides, the stress hormone ABA plays a key role in drought-induced stomatal closure, and the molecular pathways of CO2 and ABA converge, fine tuning stomatal movements in plants. My main goal was to identify and characterize new genes/proteins that play a role in CO2 and ABA signaling in plants, further elucidating these complex molecular pathways. Specific Goals: Three extensive forward genetic screens were pursued: 1- over 10,000 amiRNA lines were screened for ABA sensitivity, leading to the isolation of partially insensitive lines, 2- over 10,000 amiRNA lines were screened for low [CO2] sensitivity, leading to the isolation and characterization of lines and 3- over 1,000 EMS mutagenized Brachypodium lines were screened, leading to the isolation of two [CO2]-insensitive lines. As some of these finding have already been published (Hauser and Ceciliato et al., 2018 Journal of Experimental Botany), the other most relevant lines are being further investigated.
