Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine

The book Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine is addressed to the engineers and mainly medical practitioners as well as scientists and PhD degree students. The book indicates the progress in research and in the implementation of the ever-new biomaterials for the application of the advanced types of prosthesis, implants, scaffolds and implant-scaffolds including personalised ones. The book presents a theoretical approach to the synergy of technical, biological and medical sciences concerning materials and technologies used for medical and dental implantable devices and on metallic biomaterials. The essential contents of the book are 16 case studies provided in each of the chapters, comprehensively describing the authors' accomplishments of numerous teams from different countries across the world in advanced research areas relating to the biomaterials applied in regenerative medicine and dentistry. The detailed information collected in the book, mainly deriving from own and original research and R

AUTOBIOGRAFIA - REMINISCÊNCIAS E MEMÓRIAS

Valério Teles Pires traz a lume sua autobiografia, relatando sua trajetória de vida pessoal e profissional. No entanto, não se atém apenas a sua biografia. Faz um apanhado da genealogia, buscando dados de seus avós e seus pais, para montar a árvore genealógica de sua família. Rebusca em sua memória, reminiscências, e retrata em suas crônicas a luta do homem do campo, em épocas distantes, levando-nos a uma viagem ao passado. Apresenta, aos que não conhecem, o nostálgico carro de boi com sua cantiga que ficou perdida nas brumas do tempo, depois da chegada do progresso. Com formação em Engenharia Agronômica, o autor sempre atuou na área de planejamento e assistência técnica ao produtor rural e, por isso mesmo, tem conhecimento de causa para falar sobre solo, agricultura e outros assuntos pertinentes a esse segmento. É um livro que vale a pena ser lido! Sandra Rosa Escritora com 12 livros publicados

Drowning in Laws

Since 1943, the lives of Brazilian working people and their employers have been governed by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT). Seen as the end of an exclusively repressive approach, the CLT was long hailed as one of the world's most advanced bodies of social legislation. In Drowning in Laws, John D. French examines the juridical origins of the CLT and the role it played in the cultural and political formation of the Brazilian working class. Focusing on the relatively open political era known as the Populist Republic of 1945 to 1964, French illustrates the glaring contrast between the generosity of the CLT's legal promises and the meager justice meted out in workplaces, government ministries, and labor courts. He argues that the law, from the outset, was more an ideal than a set of enforceable regulations--there was no intention on the part of leaders and bureaucrats to actually practice what was promised, yet workers seized on the CLT's utopian premises while attacking its systemic flaws. In the end, French says, the labor laws became "real" in the workplace only to the extent that workers struggled to turn the imaginary ideal into reality.

Speaking of Flowers

Speaking of Flowers is an innovative study of student activism during Brazil's military dictatorship (1964–85) and an examination of the very notion of student activism, which changed dramatically in response to the student protests of 1968. Looking into what made students engage in national political affairs as students, rather than through other means, Victoria Langland traces a gradual, uneven shift in how they constructed, defended, and redefined their right to political participation, from emphasizing class, race, and gender privileges to organizing around other institutional and symbolic forms of political authority. Embodying Cold War political and gendered tensions, Brazil's increa...

Periodontology and Dental Implantology

Periodontology explores the molecular status in periodontal disease. Optical devices in the diagnosis and management of the disease are also discussed. The book addresses the role of the oral healthcare provider in interprofessional communication in the systemic management of autoimmune bullous disease-associated conditions. A study involving chemically modified tetracyclines and host modulation with nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapy, including postoperative pain management, is presented here. Therapeutic strategies of stem cell application in bone tissue engineering and the potential of platelet-rich fibrin-sourced growth factors in periodontal procedures to enhance wound healing and regeneration are also proposed. Supportive implant maintenance and regenerative processes are explored. Management of the endoperiodontal lesion is also discussed (note: the recent periodontal classification has not been referenced here). The book explores the best transdisciplinary practices for the management of special healthcare needs patients.

Casulos de Imagens

Este livro intensifica o existir permanente da poesia amazonense segundo eventos e elementos diversos que constituem a força variada e vívida da natureza. A lua, por exemplo, comparece em inúmeras descrições: lua crescente, oculta, saída da lua, lua bulha, lua no blecaute, lua cheia, bicos da lua, lua de verão, a lua também se banha, mesma lua, luas redondas, lua amarela, luz da lua, lua de foice, primavera lua. Porém, cada uma se distingue da outra a partir das ressonâncias de sua luz no homem que a contempla. De forma análoga, o horizonte é movido por distintas determinações do vento: vento de candura, sensual; vento na calçada, que assovia; embalo do vento; o vento nas folhas secas; vento de outono; o vento que já sopra fino. Assim, a imagem poética acaba por escalar o vento como autor demudanças tanto na natureza quanto no campo sensorial, pois é capaz de sacudir as folhas do buritizal e intensicar o frio das madrugadas chuvosas e também de agir como uma espécie de lapidação da alma e do subsequente autoencontro, do compreender o mundo e o ser por esse balanço, ora brisa leve, ora tormenta incisiva.

A History of Organized Labor in Brazil

Alexander examines the history of the labor movement in Brazil during its two key phases. First, he looks at the origins and early development of the movement from the last decades of the 19th century until the Revolution of 1930. Then he analyzes the impact of the corporate state structure that President Getulio Vargas imposed on labor during his first tenure in power, and the continuation of that structure during most of the remainder of the century. Until 1930, the trajectory of the labor movement in Brazil was quite similar to what was happening in most of the rest of Latin America. Most of the early labor organizations were mutual-benefit societies rather than trade unions. This began t...
