The objective of this study was to analyze the intention to purchase unconventional products - organic / agroecological - in open markets in Iporá-Goiás, investigating the existence or not of a consumer market for these products. Such a survey contributes to the identification of repressed demand, which can potentially be met by family farmers in the municipality. The research is classified as descriptive and exploratory, with the use of interviews as a methodological procedure to 60 consumers of vegetables at different fairs in the municipality.

Introduction: It is estimated that the number of dental implants used in the United States increased more than 10 times between 1983 and 2002 and another five times between 2000 and 2005. More than one million dental implants are performed each year. In this sense, one of the main causes of osteopenia in women over 60 years of age is an estrogen deficiency.

Introduction: The endless quest for harmony of the smile has indeed led to great advances in Dentistry. Developmental abnormalities frequently occur, particularly diastemas. During the treatment of these abnormalities, such as the pathological labial frenum, some obstacles may be encountered, which may not only favor their appearance, but may also make it difficult to establish the prognosis of the case if the frenectomy is not correctly performed. Aim: The aim of this study was to present a clinical case of maxillary labial frenectomy by means of th Z-plasty technique.

Despite all the progress made in reducing air pollutant emissions over the last decades, air pollution still represents one of the major environmental problems in urban centers. Air quality can be assessed at local, regional, national and international levels by estimating emissions, using mathematical models and measuring the environmental concentrations of major pollutants using physicochemical methods. Through such measures, it is possible to verify whether standards and limit values for air pollutant concentrations, established or recommended by national governments.

The Brazilian construction company Odebrecht took over the construction work for Goiânia’s Santa Genoveva Airport in 2003, through a consortium with Via Engenharia. The airport was only opened in 2016, however, after several stoppages due to irregularities uncovered by the Federal Audit Court (TCU) and the Federal Public Ministry in Goiás (MPF/GO).

Objetivou-se com o presente estudo analisar a comunicação efetiva e a cultura de segurança do paciente no centro cirúrgico para garantia de uma assistência qualificada. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura com abordagem qualitativa realizada por meio da base de dados Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Portal da CAPES) e do buscador virtual Google Acadêmico.

Este ensaio fomenta a discussão a respeito dos resquícios do sistema lançado pelo Grupo Sueco de Indústrias Volvo, na década de 1960, e sua influência nas organizações contemporâneas. Objetivou-se discorrer sobre a evolução dos sistemas de produção, buscando analisar de forma empírica quais as influências do Volvismo que podem ser identificadas nas organizações contemporâneas e de que maneira elas podem vir a contribuir com melhorias, tanto na qualidade como no aumento da produtividade nas organizações, em presença de implementos atuais como a indústria ‘4.0’.

According to the World Health Organization, 80% of the population makes use of traditional practices in Primary Care. Brazil’s National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices considers medicinal plants to be the most inserted practices in society, because they have continually been present to the family and religious environment, which apply their knowledge. The objective of this work was to know the usual integrative and complementary practices in quilombola communities of the semi-arid region of Piaui.

Nowadays, databases are very useful for saving or registering data, information or events. Forecasting studies, autonomous decision-making control system became more accurate and easy to implement since databases had been invented. Artificial Intelligence applications show more and more effective when it comes to solving problems conventional computational algorithms cannot handle. They also show to be useful when the problem’s exceptions are unknown or cannot be easily determined.

Construction systems in the construction industry have evolved significantly in recent decades. However, simplified building systems can also be found that have low construction costs, as well as allowing to meet the housing deficit demand for low-income populations. In this sense, this research aims to present the applicability of the use of soil-cement concrete and cellular concrete in the construction of housing units that serve low-income populations in the state of Amazonas, in urban and rural areas.
