Q: HighCharts Pie Chart - Add text inside each slice I am creating a financial pie chart using HighCharts that represents asset allocation.  My goal is to create a chart that represents the actual allocation values in each slice but inside each slide will show essentially a second data label that displays the target percentage for various investment vehicles.  It is important to note that the current asset allocation may not always match up with the targeted allocation value.
I have gotten everything working except for the Target labels inside each slide. See the image below for what I would like to accomplish:

Here is what I have thus far:
            var asset_allocation_pie_chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
            chart: { renderTo: 'asset_allocation_bottom_left_div' },
            title: { text: 'Current Asset Allocation', style: { fontSize: '17px', color: entity_color, fontWeight: 'bold', fontFamily: 'Verdana'} },
            subtitle: { text: '(As of ' + effective_date_formatted + ')', style: { fontSize: '15px', color: entity_color, fontFamily: 'Verdana', marginBottom: '10px' }, y: 40 },
            tooltip: { pointFormat: '{series.name}: {point.percentage}%', percentageDecimals: 0 },
            plotOptions: {
                pie: { allowPointSelect: true, cursor: 'pointer', dataLabels: { enabled: true, color: '#000000', connectorWidth: 1, connectorColor: '#000000', formatter: function() { return '' + this.point.name + ':
 ' + Math.round(this.percentage) + ' %'; } } }
            },
            series: [{
                type: 'pie',
                name: 'Asset Allocation',
                data: [['Investment Grade Bonds', InvestmentGradeBondPercentage], ['High Yield Bonds', HighYieldBondPercentage], ['Hedged Equity', HedgedEquityPercentage], ['Global Equity', GlobalEquityPercentage], ['Cash', CashPercentage]]
            }],
            exporting: { enabled: false },
            credits: { enabled: false }
       });

A: Here is the jsfiddle for this and code to show datalabels inside and outside.
To achieve this

*

*you need to give two pie chart series. one will be looking at front and other will be at back.

*if you want to simulate it then make changes into size: '80%'.

*distance : use of distance is to show datalabels in and out which you can change according to you which you want position of it.

*allowPointSelect: default value of this is false but if this is used then pie chart resides behind will be shown upon clicking on slice of front pie chart.

Code:
 var asset_allocation_pie_chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
        chart: {
            renderTo: 'asset_allocation_bottom_left_div'
        },
        title: {
            text: 'Current Asset Allocation',
            style: {
                fontSize: '17px',
                color: 'red',
                fontWeight: 'bold',
                fontFamily: 'Verdana'
            }
        },
        subtitle: {
            text: '(As of ' + 'dfdf' + ')',
            style: {
                fontSize: '15px',
                color: 'red',
                fontFamily: 'Verdana',
                marginBottom: '10px'
            },
            y: 40
        },
        tooltip: {
            pointFormat: '{series.name}: {point.percentage}%',
            percentageDecimals: 0
        },
        plotOptions: {
            pie: {
                size: '80%',
                cursor: 'pointer',
                data: [
                    ['Investment Grade Bonds', 100],
                    ['High Yield Bonds', 200],
                    ['Hedged Equity', 300],
                    ['Global Equity', 400],
                    ['Cash', 500]
                ]
            }
        },
        series: [{
                type: 'pie',
                name: 'Asset Allocation',
                dataLabels: {
                    verticalAlign: 'top',
                    enabled: true,
                    color: '#000000',
                    connectorWidth: 1,
                    distance: -30,
                    connectorColor: '#000000',
                    formatter: function() {
                        return Math.round(this.percentage) + ' %';
                    }
                }
            }, {
                type: 'pie',
                name: 'Asset Allocation',
                dataLabels: {
                    enabled: true,
                    color: '#000000',
                    connectorWidth: 1,
                    distance: 30,
                    connectorColor: '#000000',
                    formatter: function() {
                        return '' + this.point.name + ':
 ' + Math.round(this.percentage) + ' %';
                    }
                }
            }],
        exporting: {
            enabled: false
        },
        credits: {
            enabled: false
        }
    });

Pie chart will be looked like below :

A: We can set negative value to distance attribute within dataLabels, which will show text inside the slice
plotOptions: {
        pie: {
            dataLabels: {
                distance: -30
            }
        }
}

night has a thousand eyes bobby vee lyrics
Where would golden oldies from this era be without Bobby Vee? Beginning in 1960, rock and roll star Vee recorded a series of singles for Liberty Records. The first three fell flat, but his fourth and fifth releases, "Devil or Angel" and "Rubber Ball," made him an international star. He followed with a string of hits including "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes," which borrowed its title from Victorian poet Francis William Bourdillon. The song was written by Benjamin Weisman (writer of many songs recorded by Elvis Presley), Dorothy Wayne, and Marilyn Garrett. It was first recorded by Bobby Vee and released in 1962. By 1963, it went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #2 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart, and #9 on the R&B Chart. In went to #3 in the U.K.
Here are the lyrics to "The Night has a Thousand Eyes" by Bobby Vee:
"They say that you're a runaround lover
Though you say it isn't so
But if you put me down for another
I'll know, believe me, I'll know
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
You say that you're at home when you phone me
And how much you really care
Though you keep telling me that you're lonely
I'll know if someone is there
One of these days you're gonna be sorry
'Cause your game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really tryin'
Each time that my kisses stray
And a thousand eyes will see me too
And no matter what I do I could never disguise all my little white lies
Bobby Vee was born Robert Thomas Velline on April 30, 1943, in Fargo, North Dakota. When he was 15, he and his band filled in for Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, who had just died in the infamous plane crash on their way to a show in Fargo. A local radio station asked for replacements . Vee's group called the station and showed up. They didn't have a name until they got on stage and Vee said they were called "The Shadows."
If you are interested in others songs by Bobby Vee: "Take Good Care of My Baby" and "Rubber Ball."

Q: Как запретить обновление страницы при смене url? Я написал класс для History интерфейса.
Сейчас мне надо запретить обновление страницы при смене url.
Как мне это сделать ?
В  интернете я нашёл метод
window.onpopstate

Но он у меня не срабатывает.
И в поиске я не нахожу того, что мне требуется.

A: Если Вам нужно изменить URL без обновления страницы, то можно использовать методы объекта history pushState или replaceState. Вот статья на MDN.
Следует помнить, что клики по элементам типа  будут обновлять страницу в любом случае, так что нужно не забывать вешать на них событие e.preventDefault().

Q: How to find a Forum or a Node by passing a JWT Token? I would like to know how I can find my forum using my JWT token
exports.getByOwnerID = function (req, res, next) {
  Forum.find({createdBy: req.body.createdBy})
  .then(doc => {
      if(!doc) { return res.status(400).end();}
      return res.status(200).json(doc);
  })
  .catch(err => next(err));
}

So here I have my function to verify my JWT Token
I use it for example this way
this is my route :
router.post('/',verifyToken,getOwner);
this is my request :
POST http://localhost:8080/forum/getOwner
Authorization: Bearer {token}
const extractToken = (rawTokenHeader) => {

  if(!rawTokenHeader) { return undefined; }

  // Remove bearer and extract token value
  const temp = rawTokenHeader.split(' ');
  if(!temp || temp.length != 2) { return undefined; }

  // Return encoded token
  return temp[1];

};

module.exports = function(req,res,next){
  // Get authorization header
  const rawTokenHeader = req.header('Authorization');

  // Get token value
  const token = extractToken(rawTokenHeader);

  // No token -> No access
  if(!token) {
    console.log('No token in request');
    // Access denied
    return res.status(401).send('Access Denied');
  }

  // Verify token
  try {
    const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_KEY);

    req.token= decoded;
    req.user = decoded;
    //console.log(token.userID);
        // Proceed
    next();
  } catch(err) {
    console.error('Error in JWT check: ', err);
    // Tell client something went wrong
    res.status(400).send('Invalid Token');
  }
}

const forumSchema = ({
    forumName: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
    },
    forumDescription: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
    },
    createdBy: {
        type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User'
    },
    published_on: {
        type: String,
        default: moment().format("LLL")
    },
});

I´ve tried a lot of things but I can´t solve it anymore.. I need help

A: How I don't have enough reputation to make a comment I leave this as an answer, is hard to say why this is not working if we don't know how the schema of Forum looks like and what is returning req.body.createdBy, but if the jwt is created by you could encode the Forum._id in it and when you receive it here you can decode it and find the forum in the database
edit---
Now that I can see the error you got and the Schema of Forum i can say that probably you can solve the error by importing mongoose and adding this at the query mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.body.CreatedBy) that will parse the string to an objectId

A: As you can see, you have user (or token) data in the req object, and I hope your jwt token also includes the user's id. You can use the user id to find their Forums.
According to the router router.post('/', verifyToken, getOwner); (getByOwnerID ???), let's update getOwner handler:
exports.getOwner = function (req, res, next) {
  Forum.find({ createdBy: req.user.userID }) // or something like that
  .then(doc => {
      if(!doc) { return res.status(400).end();}
      return res.status(200).json(doc);
  })
  .catch(err => next(err));
}

One of the protections in place for certain transactions is a requirement for "signed writing". This case concerned a contract for sale of land.
This recent case considers an area where the law really hasn't caught up yet – email signature blocks. In short, is an automated signature added by your email software enough to amount to a signature for legal purposes?
Neocleous says yes!
The judge helpfully considers prior cases on how far an individual has to go to "sign" an email. It was previously viewed that a person manually adding their name, or having their typist do so, was sufficient to "sign" – being intended to authenticate the document.
There are, unsurprisingly, also statutory issues to consider including the Electronic Communications Act 2000 (which gives effect to the E-Signatures Directive) and the Law Commission's report on this issue. That report concludes that adding a typed signature is sufficient, as is clicking an "I accept" button on a website.
The judge took the view that "signature" had evolved and included the concept of an automatically added signature in Outlook. Especially as from the recipient's perspective it is not possible to ascertain whether such a signature is manually added or automatic,
This was held intentional as it was known to the sender that this was done, as emphasised by the fact that his email ended with the signoff "Many thanks" and followed by the automatic signature.
This may be a surprise to some but commercially it seems to be an increasing occurrence and signed contracts are created regularly in this fashion.
The full case is at Neocleous v Rees [2019] EWHC 2462 (Ch)

Sept 11, 2012 Jim Vrabel -- Playwright/Performer-Homage to Henry: A Dramatization of John Berryman's The Dream Songs
Jim Vrabel is a local historian and the author of When In Boston: A Timeline & Almanac (Northeastern University Press). He is co-author of John Paul II: A Personal Portrait of the Pope and the Man (St. Martin's Press).
A long-time neighborhood activist and former city official in Boston, he now lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Jim attended the Graduate School of English at the University of Iowa, which is where he first encountered John Berryman's Dream Songs. After expecting others to do it, he composed Homage to Henry: A Dramatization of John Berryman's The Dream Songs, an 80-minute one-man play by taking some 90 of the most brilliant and autobiographical of the songs - in whole or in part - re-ordering them and adding a very few lines of connecting text.
The play received a staged reading at the Charlestown Working Theater, and has been performed for the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics and Writers at Boston University and at the Oberon Theater as a benefit for the Grolier Poetry Book Shop in Cambridge.
Paul Mariani, Berryman's biographer and a poet himself, calls Homage to Henry "a sad and very human story, as stark in its way as anything in Samuel Beckett."
Jim is looking for additional opportunities to perform the play and can be contacted at jimvrabel@gmail.com

Manson Solomon-- Manson Solomon emerged from the womb with a mission to be a writer with a large trust fund. Said trust fund being inexplicably absent, he took the road more traveled, acquiring graduate degrees in Economics, Psychology and Philosophy from the London School of Economics, Columbia and Harvard, engaging in various academic, artistic and entrepreneurial pursuits -- in New York, London, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, Nova Scotia, Wellesley, Cambridge -- while also taking the less traveled road, generating exquisite poetry and commenting astutely on the work of others from deep in the woods of Lincoln, Massachusetts.

June 26, 2012 Becca Chambers author of Beyond the Great Abyss
Beyond the Great Abyss by Becca Chambers
Beyond the Great Abyss
Becca Chambers
Review by Renee Schwiesow
"Love and truth are the most powerful forces in the universe, and they reside in all of us as the embodiment of our eternal spirits, ready always to lead us to joy, true love and happiness." In "Beyond the Great Abyss," Becca Chambers takes us on a journey of her own personal transformation that includes three years of lessons in love and truth.
The cover to "Beyond the Great Abyss" may appear to be a woman shape shifting and, perhaps that is, after all, the correct way to look at the transformations. Half human and half owl, the woman on the front cover depicts the symbolism of the totem animal within. Owl medicine brings healing, clarity and wisdom. A feminine energy, the owl represents freedom, the moon and true seeking. Chambers recognizes that the journey she shares, condensed into a three year period of awakening, is a lifetime experience. In conjunction with an intuitive, an energy healer and other individuals placed in Chamber's life for specific purpose, she was able to transform her physical dis-ease from the inside out. For many years, Chambers suffered from depression but through a commitment to her own psychospiritual health that led to her becoming a natural health healer, Chambers was able to alleviate her painful symptoms. Chambers holds a B.S. in Biology and a graduate degree in Naturopathy.
Through journal entries, Chambers shares her woes, her joys, her setbacks and her growth. Her ailing father is an ever-present intuitive support system for her while she struggles to understand the chaos of the other male relationships in her life and what they are mirroring back to her. There is no narrative in between journal entries. Therefore the book reads like a diary, allowing the reader to feel as if they have become a voyeur in Chambers life, but also with a feeling of wanting more cohesiveness at times, something to cushion the entries, like discs between the vertebrae that act as a shock absorber and help keep spinal movement supple.
What rings clear is Chamber's love for her father despite her struggles with male figures in her life:
"Last Monday Dad hemorrhaged in his colon and nearly bled to death. Lots of transfusions and eventually he stopped bleeding. He had been on Coumadin, a blood thinner, because of a small stroke a year ago. Now the Coumadin nearly killed him – typical Western medicine. . .Now much of the time he doesn't make sense. I'm the only one who understands him at all. I get right up close with my ear next to his mouth, and my mouth to his ear, and I can hear him and communicate. The others? They are so sure he isn't there that they don't try."
Clearly Chambers is agitated throughout the book by her father's downward spiraling, but also honored to be there for him and to listen to his intuitive guidance.
Chambers comments further on the owl from her cover toward the end of the book. After her long journey, she says that she recognized that the swiveling head of the owl is a metaphor for being able to see all sides of a person and also to view situations from all angles.
"The Great White Snowy Owl of the North has flown over my house and landed in the tall pine at the corner, where my yard meets the wood. . .I am the great White Snowy Owl now, with all the power and wisdom of its ancient and legendary symbolism. How I got there from the broken child I once was, and that grim and desolate place where I dwelled for so many years is the subject of this book." Becca Chambers

May 24, 2012 Poets Sue Guiney and Ruth O'Callaghan
The Work of Sue Guiney
Though born and raised in New York, Sue Guiney has lived in London for twenty years where she writes and teaches fiction, poetry and plays. Her work has appeared in important literary journals on both sides of the Atlantic, and her most recent novel , A Clash of Innocents, was chosen to be the first publication of the new imprint Ward Wood Publishing and was published in September, 2010. Her first novel, Tangled Roots, was published by Bluechrome Publishing in 2006.
Sue also has two published poetry collections. Her Life Collected was published in 2011 and the text of her poetry play, Dreams of May, was published in 2006 and has been performed frequently in theatres and literary festivals.
In 2005, Sue founded the theatre arts charity called CurvingRoad, in which she still serves as Artistic Director.
Sue has always worked to find a way to combine her literary and charitable efforts. Most recently, this has led her to focus on modern day Cambodia. Her novel, A Clash of Innocents, is set in Phnom Penh against the backdrop of 2007's beginnings of the UN Tribunal to bring the remaining members of the Khmer Rouge to justice. In March of 2011, she brought that novel back to the Cambodian people who inspired it, and through a series of charity booksignings and workshops held throughout SE Asia, helped raise funds for a Literacy Through Creative Writing program which Sue has developed for the street children of Siem Reap. These efforts have led to a unique, on-going English language program which is now being taught both on-line and on-site, with Sue's commitment sending her back to spend at least one month a year there. She is also presently writing her third novel, to be published in 2013, which will also be set in present-day Cambodia.
Growing out of this interest and commitment is Sue's recent appointment as Writer in Residence to the SE Asia Department of University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).
Ruth O'Callaghan
Ruth O'Callaghan holds the prestigious Hawthornden Fellowship and is a prizewinner in international competitions. Translated into six languages she has read world-wide, including Asia and Europe and her recent successful tour in the USA included audiences of nearly a thousand.
An international competition adjudicator and editor she hosts two poetry venues in London where both the famous and unknown read side by side. As a mentor and workshop leader both in the U.K and abroad, she works with experienced poets to enable them to approach their poetry with a new perspective and with novice poets to achieve a first collection. Both a reviewer and interviewer Ruth is at present compiling a book of interviews with some of the most eminent women poets throughout the world.
In 2010 she was invited to Taiwan where she was awarded a gold medal for her poetry. The same year she was also awarded a Heinrich Böaut;ll residency in Eire. In 2009 she was awarded an Arts Council grant to visit Mongolia to collaborate with women poets on a book and a C.D. available from Soaring Penguin.
Her first two collections, Where Acid has Etched (bluechrome 2007) and A Lope of Time(Shoestring 2009) have completely sold out. The latter has been re-printed whilst her latest collection, Goater's Alley (Shoestring), was published in March 2010 and has already had to be re-printed twice. She is, at present, working on her fourth collection.
Ruth has been published in numerous magazines and anthologies and her full collections are:

March 13 2012 5PM Poet, Novelist: Joe Torra
SOMERVILLE WRITER JOE TORRA: A Man who gives it to you straight--with no chaser.
By Doug Holder
" I think poets and artists often take themselves too seriously. I mean everybody is important in some way. Hey--my plumber is more important to me than most poets at any given time. When my pipes are clogged--and I got to go...who am I gonna call? We all have our god given talents..." --Joe Torra
I have always admired Joe Torra, a neighbor of mine in Somerville Mass. He is a self-described "working class" poet, and he is one of the least affected,and talented writers I know. He shoots from the hip, and at times makes you feel like your fly is down. And it's good for you- keeps you honest. Years ago he started his own small press, worked on his critically praised poetry and fiction while making a living as a waiter and a substitute teacher, as well as being a mentor for many an upcoming poet and writer.
For the past 9 years he has taught Creative Writing at U/MASS Boston. I have reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed many of Torra's books and poetry collections, and I have had an opportunity to interview him in the past. Torra has a new trilogy of his novels coming out as well as a new poetry collection. So while there was a break from my teaching duties I decided to meet with him at the Bloc 11 Cafe on a decidedly cold winter's morning.
Doug Holder: You grew up in Medford, and have lived in Somerville for a long time. Medford and Somerville are right next to each other but there is a decidedly different sensibility to each of these towns.
Joe Torra: We have lived here for 30 years. Somerville wasn't the "Paris of New England" 30 years ago. It was called--pardon the expression "Slummerville." Things started to change in the 1990's when Rent Control ended in Cambridge and all these artists moved in for cheaper rent. There were very few small presses and artists here before this. But I do think we take our self much to seriously as an artsy community now. We think we are "so special." It is a turn off to me. But this happens with gentrification--the old timers are pushed out, the artists come in and eventually they are pushed out. I think we are more the "Brooklyn of New England" than the "Paris." (Laugh)
Doug Holder: In some ways our lives parallel each other. We both have had or have small presses. Yours was named "lift." You worked as a waiter, and I worked as a mental health worker, and when we both hit our 50's we started teaching college. Would you say we went through the writing school of hard knocks?
Joe Torra: I call what we did living life. It was a great experience being a waiter, and it gave me time to write. Any life the artist has is the right life--rich or poor- who cares? What I didn't like about being a waiter was that people couldn't believe you were a good writer if your worked in a restaurant. I left this work when I turned 50--it was hard on the body-and I was getting tired. You can burn out on anything if you do it long enough.
Doug Holder: Tell me about your "My Ground Trilogy" that is coming out this spring. It is compilation of three novels you wrote " Gas Station," "Tony Luongo," and "My Ground."
Joe Torra: Yes--they are loosely connected at best. The only one that was published in the States was "Gas Station." The other books were published by Gollancz in England. PFP Publishing is publishing the trilogy. Much of the work is informed by Somerville. "Tony Luongo" is about a Somerville born and bred salesman. In "My Ground" the city is called Winter Hill- a section of Somerville. I couldn't have written these books without living here.
Doug Holder: You are also connected to Bill Corbett's Pressed Wafer Press.
Joe Torra: I am a founding member of Pressed Wafer-it was started by Bill Corbett. It was named after a book by John Wieners. In 1999 Bill approached me about working with the Press and I was looking to publish poets, their chapbooks, etc...
Speaking of Wieners--I think he was overlooked. Robert Lowell was known as the "mad genius" because of his patrician background. Wieners was a working class guy; so he was just known as plain crazy. Very much a class thing.
Doug Holder: You adopted two children from China. You have written about your experiences there. What attracts you to this country?
Joe Torra: The longevity of the civilization--the philosophy-( Daoism in particular), the poets Li Po, and Tu Fu to name just a couple.
Doug Holder: How has teaching at U/Mass been for you?
Joe Torra: I like it. I love the students. When we share excitement with writing that is a great thing. You have to make sure you make time for your own writing. I am older now so I am not quite as prolific as I was years ago--I used to churn books out!
Doug Holder: Getting back to your years as a waiter. Would you say restaurants were a sort of way-station for creative people?
Joe Torra: It was for me. I always worked with interesting people. People who were out in the world. I met so many painters, musicians, and writers. I met people who walked across Europe, etc.. I mean when the help had their meal before the shift the conversation was about what book they read, what concert they went to--what were they writing, etc... Sixty to 70% of folks who worked there were in the arts. A nice place to be.
""Who would ever have thought we'd see a black president? I remember as a boy watching riots on television. Police chasing black protesters with dogs. Power hoses dispersing crowds of black people. My father said that Martin Luther King was only good for starting riots then running away. Where did those white people go? The ones who were burning crosses, and bombing churches, and killing young black men? Many of them are probably still here, collecting social security now. And their children live on." (From Torra's novel " What's So Funny?)

Women's Intergenerational issues have been a focus of her work and a recently completed a play, "Myths and Ms." At Brandeis for almost a decade, she has been interviewing artists in various media and hosting a yearly panel at the Brandeis Rose Art Museum on the creative process in an effort to understand the psychological and spiritual state of consciousness present at the moment of creation. Defining how creativity can transform the artist, she has currently coined a term called MotherArtTM.
I am writing a book to define the process of creativity based on ten years of interviews with women artists. My recent journal article demonstratives the transformative affects of the creative process. Presently a preliminary book proposal will help to develop and define the experience and sources of creativity.

Bernard Horn's most recent book of poetry, Our Daily Words, was selected as a "Must Read" book and a finalist for the 2011 Massachusetts Book Award in Poetry, by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. About a quarter of the poems in the book concern Israel and were written during the nine months the author spent there in 2001, teaching at Haifa University. Winner of a Fulbright and five fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Horn's poems and translations of Israel's premier poet, Yehuda Amichai, have appeared in The New Yorker, The Manhattan Review, The Mississippi Review, Moment Magazine, and other publications. After teaching in the English Department at Northern Essex Community College for 13 years, Bernie moved on to his present position as Professor of English at Framingham State College, where he received the 2010 Distinguished Faculty Award. On Wednesday, November 16th, at 7:00 p.m., Bernard Horn will present, "Poetry & Terror: The Times & Life of a Family Man." The program will include the author's reflections on cross-cultural interrelationships – both in the challenges of translating Yehuda Amichai's work and in his own poetry. He also will discuss how the activity of translating and the reality of history, in the form of terrorism, impact his writing process, which is grounded in his identity, not as an isolated individual, but as a member of a family and a first generation American.

Welcome to the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing (EERP/USP).
EERP was created in 1953 and is recognized in the national and international scenario by training professionals of excellence and citizens committed to social development; by the development of research that enables contributions to the translation of scientific knowledge into practice; and by the extension activities to the community, contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of the population.
The offered Bachelor's degree program and the Bachelor's degree with a teaching diploma program value the interdisciplinarity and the early insertion of the student in the different scenarios of the practice in health and education. Students have opportunities to carry out research and community extension projects, international exchanges and participation in scientific events. For decades, courses have received the maximum evaluation in research of the Student Guide and thousands of nurses and researchers from Brazil and Latin American and African Portuguese speaking countries were graduated by this College.
EERP maintains partnerships with public and private institutions in the areas of health, basic and vocational education, which enable the continuous and updated exchange of experiences that add quality to the training of nurses.
From its privileged infrastructure, it is highlighted the Simulation Center for Nursing Practices, with didactic laboratories equipped with the latest generation of instruments and equipment for realistic simulation practices in the training and qualification of Nurses.
Five graduate programs, three of them with masters and doctoral programs, perform the training of masters and doctoral students: Fundamental Nursing and Public Health Nursing, both with grade 7 in the evaluation of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel – CAPES; and Psychiatric Nursing, with grade 5. It is also offered the Master's Program in Nursing Technology and Innovation, with grade 4, and the Inter-institutional Doctoral Program in Nursing, developed jointly with the University of São Paulo, School of Nursing, with note 6. EERP has also trained master's students and researchers for all geographic regions of Brazil and for more than 10 countries. Annually, students are selected to conduct international exchange programs in centers of excellence. Since 2016, there is a selection of students to participate in double degree programs.
The scientific research stands out for the excellence of the projects developed in the 44 groups and research centers, for the prizes received, and for obtaining financial resources from the funding agencies in Brazil and abroad.
EERP publishes the "Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem", classified in QUALIS/CAPES as stratum A1 and indexed in databases such as Web of Science, Medline, Scopus, LILACS and SciELO. It publishes studies of strong scientific evidence, of authors from different regions of the world. EERP also publishes the "SMAD Magazine", which has a relevant role in the publication of results of studies on mental health, alcohol and drugs.
Since 1988, EERP is a Collaborating Center of the Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization for Nursing Research Development and has the important mission of developing and disseminating nursing and health knowledge that contributes to the scientific advance of the profession and with the improvement of health and of contributing to the training of nurses and researchers from other countries, especially Portuguese speakers. It is the only College of Nursing in Brazil, with such distinction.
Community extension activities are carried out through courses, advisory services, consultancy, event promotion, and assistance and educational projects aimed at specific groups, participation of professors in advisory or deliberative bodies in governmental and non-governmental institutions, collaborating for the establishment, implementation and evaluation of public health and education policies. These activities materialize the social commitment of this College.
The EERP hosts the Rho Upsilon Chapter of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, which aims to promote activities that stimulate interdisciplinary national and international exchange and serves as a space to discuss current and relevant issues for the profession.
For the development of its activities, EERP has qualified faculty members, with a minimum degree of Doctor, who work in the different specialties of nursing, in Basic, Applied and Human Sciences, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience. A skilled team of technical-administrative staff assists in the contribution of the necessary conditions to the development of teaching, research and community extension activities.
