A história do livro é uma ficção que começa com o personagem, Pastor Samuel e o seu sonho revelador, a respeito de uma passagem na Bíblia, no Livro de Apocalipse, capítulo 5, versículo 12, que diz: Digno é o Cordeiro que foi morto de receber o poder, e riqueza, e sabedoria, e força, e honra, e glória, e louvor. Este sonho o deixou muito intrigado, fazendo ler e reler esta passagem várias vezes. Cada vez que lia, várias indagações vieram em relação a aquelas palavras: poder; riqueza; sabedoria; força; honra; glória e louvor. Por que sete palavras? Que sentido teria cada uma delas? Por que mencionadas nesta ordem? Foi então que ele começou um estudo, mostrando que Jesus passou por sete passos durante a sua permanência neste mundo. Na medida em que o Pastor Samuel avançava em suas pesquisas foi descobrindo que cada passo se correlacionava com uma das sete palavras que surgiram naquele marcante sonho. O primeiro passo representa o poder, o segundo a riqueza, o terceiro a sabedoria, o quarto a força, o quinto a honra, o sexto a glória e o sétimo o louvor. Ao concluir este estudo, ele passou a aplicar e compartilhar com toda a sua igreja. Ele viu que poderia atender melhor as pessoas que o procuravam através dos ensinamentos destes sete passos. Anos depois, ele resolveu escrever um livro com seis histórias contando as experiências que cada uma destas pessoas passou e que foram transformadas pelo poder de Deus através deste estudo, sendo que a ultima aconteceu com o próprio Pastor Samuel.
This is a book about statistical distributions, their properties, and their application to modelling the dependence of the location, scale, and shape of the distribution of a response variable on explanatory variables. It will be especially useful to applied statisticians and data scientists in a wide range of application areas, and also to those interested in the theoretical properties of distributions. This book follows the earlier book ‘Flexible Regression and Smoothing: Using GAMLSS in R’, [Stasinopoulos et al., 2017], which focused on the GAMLSS model and software. GAMLSS (the Generalized Additive Model for Location, Scale, and Shape, [Rigby and Stasinopoulos, 2005]), is a regression framework in which the response variable can have any parametric distribution and all the distribution parameters can be modelled as linear or smooth functions of explanatory variables. The current book focuses on distributions and their application. Key features: Describes over 100 distributions, (implemented in the GAMLSS packages in R), including continuous, discrete and mixed distributions. Comprehensive summary tables of the properties of the distributions. Discusses properties of distributions, including skewness, kurtosis, robustness and an important classification of tail heaviness. Includes mixed distributions which are continuous distributions with additional specific values with point probabilities. Includes many real data examples, with R code integrated in the text for ease of understanding and replication. Supplemented by the gamlss website. This book will be useful for applied statisticians and data scientists in selecting a distribution for a univariate response variable and modelling its dependence on explanatory variables, and to those interested in the properties of distributions.

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil, especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a "standard" for the construction of these great structures, through an institutional and legal framework, which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also, through the creation of a popular imagination, which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security, the fragility of institutional environmental structures, the disrespect for indigenous reserves, the lack of clarity about the concept of "affected population" and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s, the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil.
The IGU currently has 34 commissions. Of these, CO.27 - Marginalization, Globalization, and Regional and Local Responses has, at various levels, geographers from the University of Coimbra. The organization of this publication is the outcome of the involvement of members of the Centro de Estudos de Geografia e Ordenamento do Território (CEGOT) in meetings of the International Geographical Union Marginalization, Globalization, and Regional and Local Responses commission. A series of works that analyse various socio-economic, demographic and physical realities in mainland Portugal are presented. Focusing particularly on territories in Central Portugal these works do, in fact, clarify the diversity of the importance of Coimbra's School of Geography in Portuguese geographical research. This work therefore contemplates a spread of research issues that cover the potential and problems of society and the environment in Portugal, and it is certainly helpful to understanding Portugueses society in the early 21st century.
