It is known that individuals with hypertension have a higher risk of developing coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, kidney failure and peripheral arterial disease. The clinical and therapeutic management of hypertension includes not only pharmacological measures, but also non-pharmacological ones such as targeted salt restriction, smoking restriction, combating stress, weight loss and physical exercise. In this sense, a physical conditioning programme has often been recommended as an important approach in the treatment of hypertension. The spontaneously hypertensive rat is an excellent model of essential human hypertension. Its importance has been credited to the similarity of its pathophysiology with essential (primary) hypertension in humans. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of continuous low-intensity aerobic exercise performed at different weekly training frequencies on systolic blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work corresponds to the master's thesis developed in the Postgraduate Program in Planning and Analysis of Public Policies at UNESP/Franca. The research that gave rise to this dissertation deals with three main themes: territorial development, the fight against social exclusion and public policies as a means of achieving development and better levels of social justice. In order to analyze these issues, a study was carried out on the experience of promoting Fair Trade in Poços de Caldas, a municipality in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais. In order to achieve the objectives set, we investigated - from the perspective of territorial development - the process of Fairtrade certification of coffee production in a rural community in the municipality and also how the project was implemented, involving the whole city, its inclusion on the political agenda of the municipal administration in question, the participation of other entities and also the dynamics of this type of management (which includes public and private bodies as well as volunteers from the community). 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study of weed interference periods in economically important crops has aroused great interest among researchers. However, research into weed interference on the quality of cowpea seeds is still scarce. Hence the importance of exploring knowledge such as this, since knowing the periods of weed interference in the cowpea crop and its influence on the quality of the final product will help in decision-making regarding the appropriate type of management, the best time to carry out the management and estimating productivity losses. Choosing the ideal time can help to reduce unnecessary spending on weed control, as producers often abuse the use of herbicides, for example, during periods when the main crop is able to compete for the resources in the environment and therefore does not need to be controlled. Research into cowpeas is also relevant, since it is a rustic crop that is widely exploited by small farmers who don't have high technology. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Land cover mapping using remote sensing data and digital image processing techniques has spread globally because it allows for a spatial and dynamic analysis of land cover typologies. Mining is one of the environmental transforming activities that causes the most adverse impacts, even if they are concentrated, due to the activity's locational rigidity. It is an activity that requires environmental control throughout the process in order to reduce negative impacts and guarantee a balanced environment. In this context, the aim of this study was to carry out a multi-temporal analysis of land cover in the municipality of São Thomé das Letras, in the state of Minas Gerais, quantifying and spatializing the changes over the period from 1984 to 2011. The aim was to visualize the behaviour of mining activity from its inception to the present day and, consequently, to observe the dynamism of the changes that have occurred in the land cover of the other established classes. 52 pp. Englisch.

This is accompanied by an increase in the number of studies highlighting the harmful effects of these chemical agents on human health and the environment. Among the most widely used pesticides in Brazil and worldwide are organophosphates. The main structural characteristic of these compounds is the presence of a pentavalent phosphorus and their main toxic action is the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This enzyme, among other functions, plays a fundamental role in the nervous system of most living beings. Another characteristic of organophosphate pesticides that has been studied is the formation in the environment of some degradation products that are more toxic than the original substances. The aim of this study was to assess the neurotoxicity of two organophosphate pesticides that are widely used in Brazil, methyl parathion and chlorpyrifos, as well as some of their main by-products. This evaluation was carried out by determining the IC50 values of AChE for these substances using an adaptation of the method by Ellman et al. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this book is to study how the poet Augusto dos Anjos was presented in newspapers and periodicals at the beginning of the 20th century, covering the period from 1908 to 1914. In this context, we analyze how the poet was portrayed by the press before and after the publication of what became his only book, Eu (1912). We came across very divergent opinions about Augusto dos Anjos' poetry and its effects on the public of his time. In addition, we were able to see how Augusto dos Anjos was treated by critics even before he traveled to Rio de Janeiro in 1910 to gain greater visibility on the artistic and literary scene, through the publication of his book Eu in 1912. More than that, it was also possible to see how opinions about Augusto's poetics changed, especially after his death in November 1914, and how critics looked at his writings in order to better understand the unique way in which the poet from Paraíba constructed his poetics. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a disease that manifests itself in people who have contracted the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), had its first cases identified in the United States at the end of the 1970s. In Brazil, the disease emerged around the 1980s, initially affecting homosexuals, sex workers and injecting drug users. However, this profile has changed over time and currently the HIV/Aids epidemic is characterised by heterosexualisation, internalisation, impoverishment, ageing, feminisation and juvenilisation. With specific reference to the feminisation of the virus, there has been an increase in the rates of vertical transmission, which occurs from mother to child, whether during pregnancy, at the time of childbirth or during breastfeeding. The prejudice and discrimination surrounding the disease, coupled with the lack of training of health professionals to deal with the issue of HIV/Aids, means that many people living with the disease suffer stigmatisation during care. There is a need to advance the quality of comprehensive care for women's health from a humanised perspective. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work presents assistive educational technologies to enable the use of educational robotics with people who are visually impaired or have low vision. The methodology for teaching robotics encompasses a set of technologies and techniques necessary for its insertion, such as methodological teaching procedures, hardware, software and programming languages for robots. We analysed scientific production in this field and identified success stories and their limitations, highlighting two difficulties in inserting this reality into inclusive schools: the high cost of commercial hardware and the lack of accessibility in software for the visually impaired. The latter is mainly due to the excessive use of images and screen readers to use the software, as well as the use of foreign language screen readers. Our aim is to provide access to educational robotics activities for students with visual impairments or low vision. In order to address the main issues related to this challenging problem, we present a low-cost assistive technology called CardBot 2.0. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cereals, and durum wheat in particular, play a key role in agriculture and consequently in the Algerian economy. This importance is justified on several levels. Durum wheat is a basic component of the local population's diet. Nevertheless, its production remains low in relation to the ever-increasing needs, and its importation is a heavy burden on the Algerian economy. This study investigates the relationship between the physiological aspects of germination and the structural characteristics of durum wheat seeds under different water regimes imposed by variations in the osmotic potential of the germination medium. The structural divergences of the seeds are conditioned by the nature of the seeds, emanating from eight genotypes, of different origins and behaviors. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For social insertion to become a reality, it is necessary to enhance socioemotional competencies. The methodology used consisted of an intervention proposal to measure pre- and post-treatment variables and three instruments were used: Goldstein's Social Skills Scale (1978), the Perceived Emotional Intelligence Scale (TMMS-24), as well as Rosemberg's Self-Esteem Scale (EAR). Pretest-posttest ANOVAs evidenced that an increase in positive social behaviors, emotional competencies and self-esteem was significantly (p< 0.01) enhanced. In addition, positive correlations were observed between the variables and it was evident that the prison population analyzed in the study presented few emotional skills in general, both in terms of knowing one's own emotions and being able to regulate them. The conclusions reached were that pedagogical intervention was necessary to develop these competencies and skills for social and socio-labor reintegration. 64 pp. Englisch.

This test is performed by indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) on triple substrate, and may be supplemented by other techniques. Among 167 requests for testing for auto-Ac associated with HPAI, triple substrate IFI was positive in 19 cases (11.4%), with anti-mitochondria Ac detected in 14 cases (8.4%) and anti-smooth muscle Ac in 5 cases (3%). IFI on VSM47 identified anti-actin F antibodies in 3/5 cases. Immunodot confirmed the positivity of anti-mitochondria Ac in all 14 cases detected by IFI, with or without identification of other associated auto-Ac. What's more, immunodot, performed despite IFI negativity in 43 cases, was positive in 13 cases/43. Thus, at least one Ac was positive in 32/167 patients (19.2%), 17 of whom had a serological profile in favor of primary biliary cirrhosis, and 9 of whom had a profile in favor of type 1 autoimmune hepatitis. The positivity of these auto-Ac should be interpreted according to the clinical context. Liver biopsy may be indicated to confirm the diagnosis of one of the HPAI entities. 52 pp. Englisch.

Despite a rich cultural heritage and major reforms to modernize and make the Beninese environment attractive to tourists, it is worth mentioning that some tourists continue to have a poor perception of the tourist experience, due to road congestion by motorcycle cabs and street vendors, dissatisfaction with reception and insufficient services, and a low desire to revisit and stay in Benin due to complex administrative procedures for entry and stay. To address these shortcomings, the dissertation used a methodology combining descriptive, analytical, qualitative and quantitative approaches, with tools such as questionnaires, interview guides and participatory observation. The research revealed that these problems are detrimental to the country's attractiveness as a tourist destination. At the end of this study, we propose a number of recommendations to improve these shortcomings. 56 pp. Englisch.
