Quando Eduardo recebeu o convite para ser tesoureiro, ficou bastante feliz, porque achava que seria tranquilo e prazeroso por ser um compromisso da igreja. O que ele no imaginava era que este compromisso provocaria dentro de si um conflito de valores entre o certo e o errado, o justo e o injusto. E como se isso no bastasse, encontrou-se com Rayssa, por quem inicialmente se apaixonou, mas ele e Rayssa acabaram travando uma intensa batalha de julgamentos mutuos. Em meio a essas batalhas e conflitos, ele conheceu o amor de Marta. E ao final de sua jornada, o amor e a justiça prevaleceram.

Burnout doesnt announce itself with a single dramatic moment. It arrives quietly, gradually in the growing heaviness of ordinary tasks, the disappearance of things that once brought pleasure, and the unsettling sense that no amount of rest ever quite reaches the place that is most exhausted.Gentle Habits for Burned Out Minds explores what recovery from burnout genuinely looks like when the conventional advice sleep more, stress less, practice gratitude consistently falls short of the actual experience. It examines why the instinct to push through, optimize, or immediately rebuild is often the very thing that prolongs the depletion, and gently reframes rest not as the absence of productivity, but as an intelligent, necessary response to a system that has been running beyond its sustainable limits for far too long.This book offers insight into a different kind of habit-building one that begins not with ambition or structure, but with honest acknowledgment of where you actually are. It explores the value of small, low-demand rhythms that dont require motivation to maintain, how the nervous system recovers through consistency rather than intensity, and what it means to rebuild a life around what genuinely sustains you rather than what merely keeps you functional. It does not promise a return to the person you were before burnout, nor does it frame recovery as a linear process with a clear endpoint. What it offers is something more honest and more enduring a compassionate understanding of what a depleted mind truly needs, and permission to begin extraordinarily small.For anyone who is tired of being told to do more, try harder, or simply think more positively and who quietly, desperately, needs someone to finally say: less is not laziness. It is how you find your way back.

Most people know what to do when someone else is struggling. They listen, they show up, they offer comfort without judgment. Yet when the crisis is their own when the overwhelm is internal, invisible, and arriving at 2am they often have no idea where to begin.Mental Health First Aid for Yourself explores what genuine self-support looks like in the moments when your emotional world feels most destabilized. It examines the gap between knowing that self-care matters and actually knowing what to do when anxiety spikes, grief arrives without warning, or the weight of daily functioning simply becomes too much. It gently reframes self-support not as indulgence or weakness, but as a quiet, necessary act of tending to the one person most consistently in your care.This book offers insight into the small, honest interventions that create stability from the inside: how to recognize your own early warning signs before they become crises, what it means to regulate rather than suppress difficult emotions, and how to build an inner repertoire of responses that feel accessible even when your resources feel depleted. It does not replace professional mental health support, nor does it promise that the right technique will make hard feelings disappear. What it offers is something more grounded and more kind a compassionate framework for becoming a more reliable, more responsive presence in your own inner life.For anyone who has ever held others through their hardest moments, yet struggled to extend that same steadiness to themselves.

Leaving a toxic relationship is rarely a single decision. More often, it is a slow, painful unraveling one that involves returning, doubting yourself, and wondering why love alone never felt like enough.She Finally Leaves the Toxic Cycle explores the inner patterns that make it difficult to walk away from relationships that diminish you. It examines the emotional logic behind staying the hope, the familiarity, the fear of the unknown and gently reframes these not as weaknesses, but as deeply human responses to attachment and loss.This book offers insight into the invisible ties that bind: the way past wounds shape present choices, how the need for belonging can override self-protection, and why the moment of leaving is so rarely final the first time. It does not promise a clean break or a healed heart by the last page. Instead, it offers something quieter and more honest a compassionate understanding of the cycle itself, and why recognizing it is already a profound act of self-awareness.For anyone who has ever stayed longer than they wanted to, returned more times than they can count, or needed someone to finally say: you are not broken for finding this hard.

It rarely feels like a choice. You meet someone who seems different attentive, magnetic, certain and yet somehow, the story ends the same way it always has. Over time, a quiet, unsettling question begins to form: why does this keep happening to me?How to Stop Attracting Toxic People explores the invisible dynamics beneath that question. It examines how early experiences shape the relational templates we carry into adulthood the unspoken beliefs about what love looks like, what we deserve, and how much discomfort feels normal. It reframes the pattern not as a personal flaw or a curse, but as a deeply logical response to what was once familiar and, in its own way, safe.This book offers insight into the subtle signals we send and receive: why certain people feel immediately comfortable in ways that later prove harmful, how the desire to be needed can quietly override discernment, and what it means to build a different kind of inner foundation not by fixing yourself, but by understanding yourself more honestly.It does not promise that recognition alone will change everything overnight. What it offers is something more enduring a compassionate, clear-eyed look at the relational patterns that quietly shape who we let close, and why genuine change begins with curiosity rather than self-blame.For anyone who has ever looked back at a pattern and thought: I didnt see it coming but part of me already knew.

In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has gone through a radical breakthrough due to the success of Large Language Models (LLMs). These models have demonstrated that an unsupervised inductive approach, based on processing large amounts of raw data, can achieve extraordinary accuracy rates in many NLP-related tasks. This progress seems to have reduced the role of theoretical linguistics in computational approaches to linguistic analysis. For instance, metalinguistic annotation, a central element in supervised learning, which traditionally relies on established linguistic theories, has lost its core place in eveloping trained models for different NLP tasks.In this context, a closer dialogue between theoretical and computational linguistics becomes essential to integrate theoretical and practical perspectives, bridging the gap between these two approaches to language study. This is particularly important for both the practical implementation of linguistic theories in computational models and the theoretical interpretation of results produced by NLP systems. This special issue of the Italian Journal of Computational Linguistics aims to bridge this gap by exploring the emerging synergies between theoretical linguistics and computational linguistics and the implications these have for the future of the two approaches.
