Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The 8th National Health Conference was a trial run for the creation of the Unified Health System. This was created in the 1988 constitution, with equity, universality, decentralisation and comprehensiveness as its principles. Given the scope of a single, universal health system, it is necessary to incorporate strategies to improve the system. Auditing is a fundamental tool for improving the quality of healthcare services. Considering the relevance of the subject and the small number of studies on auditing, we were interested in carrying out a documentary study using the analysis of audit reports from the Popular Pharmacy Programme in the municipality of Fortaleza-Ceará-Brazil from 2010 to 2014 as a guiding principle.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the prosthetic crown material on the biomechanical performance of the stress distribution received by the abutment (universal trunnion), implant (cone morse) and bone tissue (cortical and medullary) in the first molar region, using the finite element method (FEM). Three different monolithic ceramic system materials for CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) were analysed, represented by models: DL - lithium disilicate, RN - nano ceramic resin and CP - polymer infiltrated ceramic. The virtual models of the prosthetic crowns received occlusal compressive loading at 5 vertical points of 200N. The results obtained were the highest stress values for NR in the cortical and medullary bone, implant and abutment, followed by the CP results, and the lowest DL values. In the crown, the highest values were for DL, with average values for CP and the lowest values for the RN model. It can be concluded that the material of the crown influences the distribution of stresses and according to the results, the DL model showed better biomechanical behaviour.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The process of upconversion in fluoride glasses doped with rare-earth elements (Er, Nd, Pr, Tm and Yb) has received a great deal of attention from researchers all over the world. The interest is mainly due to the applications of this system in optical amplifier devices and lasers with numerous technological applications. Fluoride glass (ZBLAN) is an amorphous material which, due to its advantages of low multiphonon relaxation, stability in atmospheric conditions and low optical attenuation in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, is a good host material for rare earth ions. However, in this specific case, despite having been studied extensively, the ZBLAN:Er3+ system presents some uncertainties regarding its optical properties. One of these is the effective participation of the glass matrix network in the up-conversion process. This paper presents upconversion and luminescence measurements at a temperature of 2K with some definitions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Membrane bioreactors have been widely used in the biological treatment of wastewater. The membranes used in this type of technology are produced from synthetic, organic or inorganic materials. However, membranes can also be formed from the deposition of solid particles, colloids, polymeric materials, as well as microbial cells and flocs, on an inert support during the filtration process and, when coupled to a bioreactor, they become a single system called a Dynamic Membrane Bioreactor (DMBR). This type of bioreactor, while retaining the solids and microorganisms present in the system, removes organic material that is easy and difficult to degrade, which reduces treatment costs and makes it advantageous over conventional membrane bioreactors (BRM). In Brazil, this technology is relatively new and still little explored. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate the performance of BRMD's in anaerobic wastewater treatment systems. In addition to the advantages and disadvantages of this type of system compared to conventional BRMs (micro- and ultrafiltration), the phenomena of BRMD are described.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The importance of credit for financing companies and families is undoubtedly an important lever for the development of the economy in developing countries like São Tomé and Príncipe. Hence the importance of studying the subject and understanding the associated risks, as well as the factors that determine them (Bonfim, 2006; Das & Gosh, 2007; Morais, 2013). The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has acted to prevent future financial crises by adopting measures aimed at ensuring greater solidity in the international financial system. One of the consequences of these measures is the need to create internal mechanisms to monitor credit risks. It was within this framework that a methodology for analysing credit risk was developed, with the aim of understanding the factors that influence the level of default in households. This methodology is based on the credit scoring model (Gestel & Baesens, 2009; Júlio, 2013), an econometric model that uses the logistic regression technique, taking into account the dichotomy of the dependent variable under study: credit default. This was applied to a database from a financial institution in São Tomé.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The main objective of this study is to assess whether tax compliance during inspection procedures is higher on the island of Príncipe than on the island of São Tomé. Thus, based on the tax corrections to the tax base of the two islands and using a model estimated using the Ordinary Least Squares method, it can be seen that on the island of Príncipe there is a preponderance of voluntary regularisations made to the tax base compared to all the tax corrections made during the inspection procedure, compared to the situation on the island of São Tomé, where voluntary regularisations have a lower preponderance in all the tax corrections made. The results allow us to conclude that tax compliance during the inspection procedure is higher on the island of Príncipe than on the island of São Tomé.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Tooth extraction is one of the most frequently performed medical and dental procedures and the dimensional changes to the alveolar ridge that occur as a result are well documented. It is therefore important to reduce these changes in order to facilitate the rehabilitation of the extracted tooth, using alveolar preservation techniques and materials. Cuttlefish bone is a light, porous material with high rigidity and cell permeability, low cost to obtain and of biological origin, available all over the world. It is compatible with other types of bone structures, has a high osteoinductive capacity and is also bioactive and osteoinductive. The use of cuttlefish bone in tissue engineering applications involves hydrothermal processing of the aragonite, converting it into mixed carbonated hydroxyapatite type A and B, similar to the composition of human bone. It can also be machined to take on any desired shape at any of its processing stages, making it possible to meet the most demanding technical requirements when it comes to speed, customisation and making a fragment, granules or incorporating bone cements.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In recent years, Brazilian poultry farming has undergone extraordinary changes, making Brazil one of the largest poultry producers and exporters in the world. The poultry sector has moved from a farm-owner operation to an economy of scale, made possible by the association of numerous producers. However, employees' work functions have not been modernised, thus increasing physical effort, monotony and RSI/WMSD. In this context, this study aims to identify the risks to workers' health that have been assessed in the poultry slaughtering process in a slaughterhouse. A case study was carried out by observing and analysing the workers carrying out their duties. The literature review was based on the processes carried out in the slaughterhouse and the principles and concepts of risk. The risk analysis made it possible to establish the biological, physical, chemical, ergonomic and accident risks of each operating post assessed. Finally, the analysis proposed a study that serves as the basis for a review of the current practice and policy of worker health care at the slaughterhouse.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
