Neuware - The main objective of today's freight transportation scenario is to meet the needs of customers in terms of time, cost, information and quality, and one of the modes of transportation that is a benchmark worldwide in terms of customer satisfaction is water transportation. The process in the distribution chain that deserves a lot of attention is the movement of the goods being transported, because it is the stage of this whole process where we add quality to the service provided. In Brazil, and specifically in the state of Amazonas, there is a greater incidence of river transportation due to the fact that there is a rich and extensive waterway potential in the region in question, as well as the absence of other modes of transportation. In this context, the municipality of Parintins is located in the interior of the state, as it is an island and the city is restricted to just two modes of transport, river and air. Because it is the cheapest and most viable mode of transportation in the municipality, companies choose river transportation to obtain and transport their goods.…

Neuware - The aim of this book was to evaluate the efficiency of the complex formed between citric acid and ferric ions (ferricitrate) as an inducer of the photo-Fenton reaction for the treatment of landfill leachate. The leachate samples were collected at the Regional Urban Solid Waste Treatment Centre, located in the municipality of Giruá (RS). This leachate is characterised by high colour and turbidity, as well as high organic content expressed in high values of chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, nitrogenous forms and phosphorus, presenting high polluting potential. The use of the organic ligand aims to improve the efficiency of the photo-Fenton process, since it forms stable and soluble complexes with Fe(III), as well as enabling reactions at a higher pH than traditionally possible.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study aims to discuss how stressful the work carried out in an Intensive Care Unit can be. When we talk about nurses, this stress takes on a greater dimension, as it is a profession that, as well as caring for the most seriously ill patients, deals with the pressure of coordinating a team of technicians and nursing assistants who also suffer from the high workload. On top of this, there is the ever-present inefficiency of material resources, and even personnel, to provide safe, quality care. Institutions must recognize the need for intervention so that this work becomes lighter and more rewarding, thus ensuring a better quality of life for nursing professionals.…

Neuware - Benefits of MOS in conservation management systems:Physical (structure and aggregation) forming larger structures that favor the root system of cultivated plants.Chemical: By improving the CEC of soils, complexing exchangeable aluminum and reducing the adsorption of P. This is especially helpful in Brazil's tropical soils.Biological: Promotes soil microbiota and enzymesSoil management involving mechanical intervention (plowing, harrowing, scarification, etc.) breaks up soil aggregates, macro- and micro-aggregates, increasing the area of exposure of MOS to microbial attack. In addition, with greater aeration, micro-organisms attack this MOS more easily and contribute to its mineralization. Grass residues have a higher C/N ratio, often above 30/1, which is why the balance between immobilization and mineralization tends towards microbial immobilization, until this C/N ratio becomes narrower, at which point this balance will tend towards mineralization. Soybean waste has a narrower C/N ratio, below 20/1, which makes mineralization the predominant process.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the main solutions for supplying water and making up for the lack of water during periods of drought in rural communities in the Brazilian semi-arid region is rainwater harvesting and storage systems. There are a number of alternatives with their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, which are used for different purposes in the semi-arid region. However, factors such as the irregular distribution of rainfall and the high incidence of solar energy contribute to a significant increase in evaporation rates from open reservoirs. For this reason, alternative methods have emerged with the aim of reducing and controlling the rate of evaporation from water bodies, and although the methods presented in this work have their disadvantages, it can be said that they are outweighed by their advantages in terms of cost, easy accessibility and construction of the material, as well as their possible suitability for reservoirs in arid and semi-arid regions. 56 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by permanent intolerance to gluten in genetically predisposed individuals, which causes damage to the mucosa of the small intestine, reducing the absorption of essential nutrients for the proper functioning of the body. It affects 0.3 to 1% of the world's population and around 0.89% of the Brazilian population. It is estimated that the prevalence of celiac disease affects around 300,000 people in Brazil. Of every eight people with the disease, only one is diagnosed. Currently, the only form of treatment for CD is the total and permanent removal of gluten from the diet. However, the greatest difficulty in feeding coeliacs is access to products made with gluten-free ingredients that have sensory characteristics that are pleasing to the consumer. The gluten-free products available on the market are not produced on a large scale, are expensive and become inaccessible to the less economically favored social classes. The aim of this study was to produce gluten-free cookies from green banana flour as an alternative for people with celiac disease. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Trypanosoma evansi is a flagellated protozoan that affects cattle, sheep, goats, asses, cats and pigs. The disease is particularly important in horses and is known as 'chair sickness' due to the characteristic locomotion deficits in infected animals. Various therapeutic drugs have been recommended for prophylaxis and control of the protozoan, but over the years these drugs have lost their efficacy and the protozoan seems to develop resistance. The production and use of avian antibodies has aroused great interest in the scientific community due to the diversity of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Due to their phylogenetic distance, immune diversification mechanisms and the ability to transfer serum immunoglobulins to egg yolk, a number of advantages are now recognised when using avian antibodies instead of mammalian antibodies. In this study, a specific immunoglobulin against T. evansi was produced by immunising chickens using an isolate of the protozoan. Therapeutic efficacy was tested in Rattus norvegicus. 52 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Powdered fruit juices present problems of stikiness, solubility and hygroscopicity which are related to their high content of sugars in an amorphous state. This study aimed to induce crystallization in powdered tropical juices during the spray drying process and to correlate the microstructure of the powder obtained with the functional properties of stickiness, hygroscopicity and solubility. For this work, mango juice with 12ºBrix was used. Before dehydrating the juice, the following carriers were added: maltodextrin, gum arabic, waxy starch and cornstarch, at concentrations of 12%. Crystalline cellulose was also added to the solution at concentrations of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9%. The powder was obtained using a mini spray dryer. The powder obtained was analyzed for microstructure, stickiness, solubility and hygroscopicity. The results indicate that mango juice powders obtained by spray drying have sugars in an amorphous state. The functional properties studied decreased as a function of cellulose concentration. It can be concluded that the addition of cellulose did not promote the crystallization of sugars, but it did influence the functional properties. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The work 'Sensorics in portraits and expression of lyricism (Russian literature of the 19th century)' presents an actual literary analysis of psychological mastery of Russian writers of the 19th century, shown through the peculiarities of their individual author's sensual worldview. This diversifies the inner world of the characters, as the authors of the works translate to their heroes the predominant properties of 'visualizers, 'hearers', kinesthetes. Thus, an original sensory palette emerges - a kind of 'entrance' into the emotional depths of human nature and unique characters.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 64 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -This monograph on the centenary of the Great War of 1914-1918 deals with the participation of African soldiers in this great world conflict, and how this contributed to the redefinition of African borders after the armistice, as well as the political awareness of Africans to assert their culture and political and social identities in the development of the pragmatic lines that later led to colonial independence. E. C. Almeida. In general, Africans have always been (in some cases continue to be) disposable instruments in the hands of the colonizers. Yesterday some, today others. Between slaves, cannon fodder and duly bound volunteers, they were a bit of everything. Often they were everything at the same time. In the First World War, as Eugénio Costa Almeida explains so excellently here, they gave their bodies to the bullets, their souls to the Devil and their dignity to the mass graves.

Neuware -The aim of this work, 'The hidden curriculum in search of moral judgment competence: a case study', is to analyze the importance of adapting didactic content by including a discussion of the values of moral judgment competence in order to promote the inner growth of the student, in search of consolidating the spirit of co-citizenship. The correlation between the hidden curriculum and the competence of moral judgment, through the discussion of moral dilemmas, presents an alternative pedagogical intervention that culminates in the practice of reflection and the construction of the new man, which is very important for educators when they dedicate themselves to the study of how to transform theory and technique into a praxis that is socially committed. This work is divided into two parts: the first is based on a bibliography to cover the main concepts, and the second consists of a case study to get to know the phenomenon more closely. The aim of this work is to offer the school community a reflection on the hidden curriculum, highlighting the importance of moral dilemmas in the process of producing knowledge and the inner transformation of the student.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -If corruption in the public sector were to be stopped tomorrow, as we would like, a significant volume of public resources would still continue to flow down the drain. This is because the overwhelming majority of governments still use methods, techniques and paradigms that are totally outdated by the dynamics of today's social, cultural, political, economic and technological transformations. Stopping this bleeding requires new formats that re-qualify the understanding of what public service is, engaging in this effort any and all segments that, even if they don't formally belong to the public sector, can contribute to its airing and improvement. In order to make progress in this effort, it will also be essential to see innovation not just as a technical issue, discussed in academia or research centers, but as a value in itself, to be pursued by everyone who aspires to a more prosperous and inclusive country. A willingness to listen, humility to change and an interest in collaborating are all slogans that must be brought to the table to replace the usual 'no way'. The 4 texts in this book show the authors' vision of how we can get there. Difficult Yes, but inevitable.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 76 pp. Englisch.…
