Abstract

Le Conjunto Palmeiras n'était au départ qu'une favela, un bidonville à vingt kilomètres de la ville touristique de Fortaleza, au nord du Brésil. Il est aujourd'hui un véritable quartier. Les habitants se sont battus depuis les années 1970 pour de meilleures conditions de vie, affrontant tour à tour la dictature, l'administration et les catastrophes climatiques. Joaquim Melo, ancien séminariste et pilier de cette aventure, témoigne avec émotion de son engagement dans ce combat collectif contre la pauvreté. Après de nombreuses batailles pour relier le bidonville aux services de la ville, il nous explique comment, allant contre l'avis de la Banque centrale du Brésil, il a créé une monnaie propre à la favela et relancé le commerce local, notamment grâce au micro-crédit. Depuis, quarante-six banques communautaires ont vu le jour sur le modèle de celle du Conjunto Palmeiras : la Banque Palmas. Les habitants gèrent à présent une enveloppe de près de deux millions de reais. À l'heure où le monde recherche des modèles anti-crise et des alternatives pour combattre la pauvreté, Joaquim Melo nous délivre un message d'espoir et révèle les clefs de son engagement aux côtés des habitants des Palmeiras. Un témoignage riche et universel à mettre entre toutes les mains.

Abstract

O conjunto lexicográfico da Prosodia, da autoria do jesuíta Bento Pereira (1605-1681) teve um longo percurso editorial ativo por mais de um século, com doze edições publicadas entre 1634 e 1750, entre Lisboa e Évora (Universidade de Évora). Este volume dicionarístico, que reúne os dicionários Prosodia latim-português e Tesouro português-latim, além de outras obras, foi um importante manual de ensino do latim e do português nos colégios inacianos, em Portugal e no espaço de ensino e de missão da Companhia de Jesus. Foi proibido por D. José aquando das Reformas Pombalinas e recebeu ordem de destruição. Apesar das vicissitudes, a Prosodia sobreviveu aos tempos, chegando até nós diversos volumes em bibliotecas espalhadas pelo mundo, que listamos. Transcrevem-se os dois catálogos autorais para as fontes latinas e portuguesas dos dicionários latim-português e português-latim, respetivamente, presentes nas edições princeps. Confirma-se a dilucidação da sequência editorial, que esteve envolta em discrepâncias na literatura, e apresentam-se facsimile dos rostos de todas as edições deste importante volume, marco da história da lexicografia bilingue latina e portuguesa.

Abstract

Baca's music grew out of the harsh life of the borderland, and the duality of borderland music--its keening beauty--remains a recurring theme in everything he does.

Abstract

A combination of button accordion and bajo sexto, conjunto originated in the Texas-Mexico borderlands as a popular dance music and became a powerful form of regional identity. Today, listeners and musicians around the world have embraced the genre and the work of conjunto masters like Flaco Jiménez and Mingo Saldívar. Erin E. Bauer follows conjunto from its local origins through three processes of globalization - migration via media, hybridization, and appropriation - that boosted the music's reach. As Bauer shows, conjunto's encounter with globalizing forces raises fundamental questions. What is conjunto stylistically and socioculturally? Does context change how we categorize it? Do we consider the music to be conjunto based on its musical characteristics or due to its performance by Jiménez and other regional players?

Abstract

This book shows that global population ageing is an opportunity to improve the quality of human life rather than a threat to economic competitiveness and stability. It describes the concept of the creative ageing policy as a mix of the silver economy, the creative economy, and the social and solidarity economy for older people. The second volume of Economic Foundations for Creative Ageing Policy focuses on the public policy and management concepts related to the use of the opportunities that are created by population ageing. Klimczuk covers theoretical analyses and case study descriptions of good practices to suggest strategies that could be internationally popularized. Each chapter includes exercises and assignments for both students and those who are likely to apply the presented concepts in practice. .

Abstract

In the half century since World War II, American academic culture has changed profoundly. Until now, those changes have not been charted, nor have their implications for current discussions of the academy been appraised. In this book, however, eminent academic figures who have helped to produce many of the changes of the last fifty years explore how four disciplines in the social sciences and humanities--political science, economics, philosophy, and literary studies--have been transformed. Edited by the distinguished historians Thomas Bender and Carl Schorske, the book places academic developments in their intellectual and socio-political contexts. Scholarly innovators of different generations offer insiders' views of the course of change in their own fields, revealing the internal dynamics of disciplinary change. Historians examine the external context for these changes--including the Cold War, Vietnam, feminism, civil rights, and multiculturalism. They also compare the very different paths the disciplines have followed within the academy and the consequent alterations in their relations to the larger public. Initiated by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the study was first published in Daedalus in its 1997 winter issue. The contributors are M. H. Abrams, William Barber, Thomas Bender, Catherine Gallagher, Charles Lindblom, Robert Solow, David Kreps, Hilary Putnam, José David Saldívar, Alexander Nehamas, Rogers Smith, Carl Schorske, Ira Katznelson, and David Hollinger.

Abstract

This book highlights state-of-the-art research on big data and the Internet of Things (IoT), along with related areas to ensure efficient and Internet-compatible IoT systems. It not only discusses big data security and privacy challenges, but also energy-efficient approaches to improving virtual machine placement in cloud computing environments.  Big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) are ultimately two sides of the same coin, yet extracting, analyzing and managing IoT data poses a serious challenge. Accordingly, proper analytics infrastructures/platforms should be used to analyze IoT data. Information technology (IT) allows people to upload, retrieve, store and collect information, which ultimately forms big data. The use of big data analytics has grown tremendously in just the past few years. At the same time, the IoT has entered the public consciousness, sparking people’s imaginations as to what a fully connected world can offer.  Further, the book discusses the analysis of real-time big data to derive actionable intelligence in enterprise applications in several domains, such as in industry and agriculture. It explores possible automated solutions in daily life, including structures for smart cities and automated home systems based on IoT technology, as well as health care systems that manage large amounts of data (big data) to improve clinical decisions. The book addresses the security and privacy of the IoT and big data technologies, while also revealing the impact of IoT technologies on several scenarios in smart cities design. Intended as a comprehensive introduction, it offers in-depth analysis and provides scientists, engineers and professionals the latest techniques, frameworks and strategies used in IoT and big data technologies. .
