Neglected Tropical Diseases - Unsolved Debts for the One Health Approach
Author: Jorge Abelardo Falcón-LezamaPublisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 0854660682
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Despite enormous technical and scientific advances in medicine, neglected tropical diseases continue to be a major challenge in many regions of the world. As a result, the health systems of developing countries are overwhelmed by a double burden of disease, one represented by common health problems and another represented by these diseases. This situation generates wear and tear in all system components, making it ineffective, but also causes the gaps in health to become increasingly larger. This book provides general information on the problem of neglected tropical diseases. It is a current and updated reference to the problem in question that provides examples of the way in which health systems deal with neglected tropical diseases by seeking innovative solutions.
Soldiers of the Pátria
Author: Frank D. McCannPublisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804732222
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 636
Book Description
This book provides an authoritative history of the Brazilian army from the armys overthrow of the monarchy in 1889 to its support of the coup that established Brazils first civilian dictatorship in 1937. The period between these two events laid the political foundations of modern Brazila period in which the army served as the core institution of an expanding and modernizing Brazilian state. The book is based on detailed research in Brazilian, British, American, and French archives, and on numerous interviews with surviving military and civilian leaders. It also makes extensive use of hitherto unused internal army documents, as well as of private correspondence and diaries. It is thus able to shed new light on the armys personnel and ethos, on its ties with civilian elites, on the consequences of military professionalization, and on how the army reinvented itself after the collapse of its command structure in the crisis of 1930a reinvention that allowed the army to become the backbone of the post-1937 dictatorship of Getulio Vargas.
Brazil, Land of the Past: The Ideological Roots of the New Right
Author: Georg WinkPublisher: Bibliotopía
ISBN: 6079934817
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Brazil, Land of the Past scrutinizes the ideological roots of the so-called New Right in Brazil. The book traces the continuity and resilience of a system of thought based on the idea of a God-given hierarchical order to be defended against any social contract and modernizing relativization. It explains in detail how today a diverse movement — which includes actors ranging from the authoritarian Bolsonaro wing to economic liberals to the military to both Catholic and evangelical religious conservatives – assumes unanimously the ideas of this tradition as underlying premises of their political action. Though not always explicitly, this drives the self-declared “liberal-conservative” but rather anti-modernist reaction which claims to liberate an imaginary authentic “Brazil” from an aberrant “State” – and in so doing intends to preserve inherited privilege in an extremely unequal society.
