Oral Epidemiology
This intermediate textbook on oral epidemiology is designed to meet the needs of advanced students in the fields of Dentistry and Oral Health and dentists in the early stages of their career. Readers will find detailed information on the epidemiology of individual diseases and disorders and on hot topics and methods in oral health research. The extensive first part of the book explores the international epidemiological literature regarding a wide range of conditions, from dental caries and periodontal diseases to halitosis and malocclusions. In each case, the prevalence, disease-specific measures, and associated factors are identified. Attention is then focused on cutting-edge research topics in oral epidemiology, such as the intriguing mechanisms linking oral diseases and chronic general diseases, life course epidemiology, and the role of socioeconomic determinants of oral health. The final part of the book is devoted to description of the epidemiological methods and tools applied in the field of oral health. Here, the coverage includes validation of questionnaires, data collection and data analyses, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Oral Health Promotion
Many of the common dental diseases are behavioral in origin, and are affected by individual lifestyles. Health promotion is therefore at the heart of preventing and controlling dental ill health. Helping people to understand that they can influence whether they have good or bad teeth is of prime importance. This book presents theoretical and practical advice on a broad range of topics encompassed by the term "health promotion". It includes models and theories of health behavior, influence of social factors on oral health promotion, government health policies, health education in specific settings, national campaigns, and evaluation of interventions. The historical background to health education and promotion is also discussed. The international roster of contributors provides a diverse set of topics. The book covers the complete range of health promotion activity. The comprehensive contents list will help readers and dental health professionals to target the sections of particular interest. Other health professionals will find the oral health promotion model useful when considering strategies for public health policy in other disciplines.
New Prognostic and Predictive Markers in Cancer Progression
Biomarkers are of critical medical importance for oncologists, allowing them to predict and detect disease and to determine the best course of action for cancer patient care. Prognostic markers are used to evaluate a patient’s outcome and cancer recurrence probability after initial interventions such as surgery or drug treatments and, hence, to select follow-up and further treatment strategies. On the other hand, predictive markers are increasingly being used to evaluate the probability of benefit from clinical intervention(s), driving personalized medicine. Evolving technologies and the increasing availability of “multiomics” data are leading to the selection of numerous potential bio...
Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds
Originally published in 1962, this was the first book to explore teh identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. It provides a thorough introduction to the three areas of spectrometry most widely used in spectrometric identification: mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A how-to, hands-on teaching manual with considerably expanded NMR coverage--NMR spectra can now be intrepreted in exquisite detail. This book: Uses a problem-solving approach with extensive reference charts and tables. Offers an extensive set of real-data problems offers a challenge to the practicing chemist
História Institucional e Cultura Escolar
O livro de Wilson Ricardo Antoniassi de Almeida nos oferece uma instigante reflexão sobre uma escola em um cruzamento de duas linhas. Há uma linha diacrônica, em que a sequência nos acontecimentos expõe a cultura da escola em movimento. Através dele vemos emergir um ambiente cheio de vida e de elementos intensos daquilo que nos faz experimentar um bom humanismo. Já a outra linha, cruza o nosso olhar e a escola, para nos apresentar a cultura feita em muitas combinações de fotos, palavras e sentidos. O resultado deste cruzamento de linhas confere a novidade do livro. Esta novidade consiste em compreender os muitos modos em que a cultura faz a mediação entre a escola e o tempo, por meio de uma combinação complexa, pois ao mesmo tempo nos determina em uma estrutura e nos impulsiona para a experiência arriscada em novos e promissores horizontes para a formação humana. Sentimos um enorme prazer na leitura deste livro, provocado por uma tensão entre os percursos da moldura de uma identidade para a escola e o deslocamento constante dos sentidos oferecidos pelas fotos e pelas falas. Esta história nos provoca para pensar uma escola diferente. Recomendo a sua leitura!
Embates contemporâneos do Direito Processual Tributário
Esta obra é resultado de estudos e pesquisas empreendidos durante as três edições do curso de Pós-Graduação Lato Sensu em Processo Tributário, da UFPE. É relevante a contribuição desta obra no conjunto da produção científica que oferece embasamento teórico a questões processuais decorrentes do número crescente de embates travados entre o Fisco e o Contribuinte, seja na esfera administrativa, seja perante os órgãos judiciais, tendo presente que a relação jurídica tributária sofre a influência de três distintas dimensões – material (estática), formal (dinâmica) e processual (crítica). É na dimensão processual, contudo, que o direito se revela um instrumento de ...
Brazilian Railway Culture
Brazilian Railway Culture examines the cultural relationship Brazil has had with its railways since tracks were first laid by British, American and French engineers in the nineteenth century. ‘Railway’ and ‘Brazil’ are words not often found in the same sentence. Yet each year over seven hundred million passengers are carried by train in the major urban centres, and tens of thousands of visitors enjoy heritage steam rides at over a dozen restored lines and museums. Brazilian Railway Culture starts from the premise that Brazilian society and culture is not just samba, football and sex. The book takes a journey through Brazilian cultural output from 1865 to the present day, examining no...
Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment
A timely work describing how localized hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) complements general, ‘arms-length’ HTA agency efforts, and what has been the collective global impact of HB-HTA across the globe. While HB-HTA has gained significant momentum over the past few years, expertise in the field, and information on the operation and organization of HB-HTA, has been scattered. This book serves to bring this information together to inform those who are currently working in the field of HTA at the hospital, regional, national or global level. In addition, this book is intended for decision-makers and policy-makers with a stake in determining the uptake and decommissioning ...
