When I was a little girl, I heard my father say that destiny was a wise old man in short pants, who stood around the corner waiting for you to come over to play a prank on you. For years I thought that this vision of life was the argument my father used to fantasize about his own story. Today I realize that I've never heard anything so wise, true and interesting. After all, who among us can say that one was not a victim of fate at some point on one's road? The same goes for the two people whose story I'm going to tell. It is nothing invented by my head, let alone any dream I had and that I decided to put on paper. It's the true story of a couple, told by the best friend of a cousin of my second cousin's neighbor's ex-girlfriend. No. This is not another love story. This is the purest story about how life and destiny duel to bring reality as close as possible to fantasy. And it's not that every day fantasy comes closer to our reality?
When the Soviet Union collapsed universities were freed from state control and left to themselves. This forced universities to be much more market-oriented. This book explores this transformation from the end of the Soviet Union until the present. Based on extensive original research, the book charts the struggles of universities, showing how chaos and decline came to what had been one of the triumphs of the Soviet Union - a higher education system which provided a high standard of advanced education to large numbers of people and made major research achievements. The book shows how a lack of funds, lack of commercial experience and the ending of former means of support such as strong university-state industry links brought about huge disruption; how universities responded with a range of measures such as charging for tutoring and examinations, handling research on a commercial basis and new forms of co-operation; and how all this impacted on subjects of study and on underlying ideas about what a university is for. The book argues that the shock to the system in Russia was so severe that the Russian case serves as an excellent 'survival guide' to universities experiencing similar changes in other parts of the world. By investigating the phenomenon of Russian universities becoming more market-oriented the book contributes to developing further the marketization concept. It summarizes the existing knowledge in this field of study, offers a new framework for analysis of the phenomenon of university marketization and discusses the marketization of Russian universities in the light of comparative studies.

Em um mundo em constante evolução tecnológica, as implicações da Inteligência Artificial (IA) nas relações de consumo se tornam um foco de crescente interesse e importante debate. Este livro, idealizado pelo IBRAC – Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos de Concorrência, Consumo e Comércio Internacional, reúne uma série de ensaios e análises que abordam os desafios e oportunidades desta intersecção entre a IA e o Direito do Consumidor. Desde os conceitos iniciais e o estágio atual de utilização da IA no Brasil e no mundo, passando pela regulamentação tanto no cenário nacional quanto internacional, o livro explora amplamente as oportunidades e riscos desse universo, como a responsabilidade civil ligada aos sistemas de IA, a aplicação das regras já em vigência do Código de Defesa do Consumidor nesse contexto, as questões de governança e até mesmo como a IA pode auxiliar na definição e implementação de políticas públicas relacionadas ao direito do consumidor.
During the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, countless slaves from culturally diverse communities in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia journeyed to Mexico on the ships of the Manila Galleon. Upon arrival in Mexico, they were grouped together and categorized as chinos. Their experience illustrates the interconnectedness of Spain's colonies and the reach of the crown, which brought people together from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe in a historically unprecedented way. In time, chinos in Mexico came to be treated under the law as Indians, becoming indigenous vassals of the Spanish crown after 1672. The implications of this legal change were enormous: as Indians, rather than chinos, they could no longer be held as slaves. Tatiana Seijas tracks chinos' complex journey from the slave market in Manila to the streets of Mexico City, and from bondage to liberty. In doing so, she challenges commonly held assumptions about the uniformity of the slave experience in the Americas.
With notable originality Tatiana Berringer presents, theoretically and empirically, a truly consistent Marxist analysis of Brazilian foreign policy under FHC and Lula governments, and reflections on Dilma, Temer, and Bolsonaro governments.
Born of War in Colombia addresses why people born of conflict-related sexual violence remain unseen within transitional justice agendas. In Colombia, there are generations of children born of conflict-related sexual violence across the country. Whispers of their presence have traveled outside their communities. They also exist within the country’s domestic reparations program, which entitles them to reparations. Drawing on an immersive feminist ethnography with a community that endured a paramilitary confinement, the book reveals how a past-oriented and harm-centered model of transitional justice has converged with a restricted notion of gendered victimhood and the patriarchal politics of reproduction to render the bodies and experiences of people born of conflict-related sexual violence unintelligible to those seeking to understand and address the consequences of war in Colombia.
This study aimed to design multifunctional high-temperature foamed and non-foamed geothermal well cement composites encompassing the following five advanced properties, by comparison with two geothermal well cement systems, Class G/silica flour and/or calcium aluminate phosphate: 1) TS resistance based on 500℃ or 600℃ heating-25℃ water quenching cycle tests; 2) compressive toughness; 3) protection of the CS against brine corrosion; 4) adherence of the cement to the CS and post-TS bond durability; 5) reduced acid-scale corrosion and erosion. Furthermore, we experimentally investigated set-controlling additives and their corresponding set-retarding chemistry.
