Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work is a collection of papers presented by the author at national and international conferences, with the central theme being the Brazilian federal housing finance programme known as the Minha Casa Minha Vida Programme (PMCMV), with a focus on the programme aimed at non-profit entities, known as the Minha Casa Minha Vida-Entidades Programme (PMCMV-E). The period covered in the texts corresponds to Phases 1 (PMCMV I) and 2 (PMCMV II until 2015) of the Programme, launched during the governments of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and former president Dilma Roussef, when it was at its peak. The texts revolve around reflections on the experience gained from working as a Technical Advisor for Brasil Habitat, which since 2003 has been advising housing movement organisations in São Paulo on how to access public housing programmes. Some of these organisations advocated self-management work with or without joint efforts. Others opted for a global contract construction modality. 80 pp. Englisch.

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. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The extractive industry in Portugal, although little known and publicized, is one of the most important contributors to the country's wealth. One of the main branches of this activity, with particular emphasis on its impact on the environment and society, is quarrying. As imposed by the European Union and the Portuguese government, this type of activity is subject to an extensive and complex set of laws governing the sector, particularly with regard to the licensing of industrial activity and the exploitation of geological resources, CE marking for construction materials, hygiene, health and safety at work and environmental impact assessment. This work has compiled the main existing legislation in Portugal, organizing it into the categories mentioned above, with the main emphasis on the situation of quarries, with the aim of being a reference tool for entrepreneurs and professionals in the sector, making them aware of the increasingly demanding requirements imposed on a sector that is going through a crisis as a result of the current situation. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The oil and gas industry faces extremely aggressive environments, as some oil extraction fields in Brazil are highly acidic due to the presence of chlorides, sulphur compounds and oxygenates. As a result, during the high-temperature refining stage, the corrosion rate increases in extraction equipment, pipes, connections, valves, etc. Because of this, it is necessary to use materials with high resistance to corrosion and toughness, properties present in various types of stainless steel. Liquid nitriding is one of the processes used to generate surface hardening, high resistance to wear, fatigue and corrosion in metallic materials through the atomic diffusion of nitrogen on the surface of the material. This thermochemical treatment consists of immersing the workpiece in a medium of molten salts rich in nitrogen at temperatures of 500 to 570ºC. The aim of this work was to analyze the liquid nitriding process on 17-4 PH stainless steel and to characterize the nitrided layer and the microstructure of the substrate adjacent to the deposition using microhardness, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nowadays, in order for a company to remain competitive against its competitors, the quest to reduce the costs of its products has become the main objective. To this end, process optimisation has been the way to achieve these goals. This paper proposes the implementation of an industrial process management system. The PDCA method (Plan, Do, Check, Action). It is an exploratory study using action research in a case study carried out in a clothing company. The theoretical basis of the PDCA method and the quality tools used in the process (Cause and Effect Diagram, Pareto Analysis, 5W and 2H), as well as the concepts of Just in Time, Lead Time and Rapid Tool Change, were the sources of information used for the theoretical foundation. For the case study, primary and secondary data from the process of implementing the method in the study organisation was researched. The work reports important results achieved with the implementation of the process optimisation method. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent years there has been great technological progress in the development of composite materials reinforced with natural fibers. This increase in interest from industries and research groups in developing and using materials made from renewable materials is mainly due to the worldwide call for environmental preservation. The aim of this study was to characterize composites reinforced with treated sugarcane bagasse fibres in a high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) matrix, with the aim of possibly replacing the materials currently used in the pet shop industry. Three families of composites were characterized, in proportions of 10, 20 and 30% (m/m). The composites were characterized using the techniques of helium pycnometry, Shore A hardness, impact resistance and fluidity index. The addition of bagasse fibers to HIPS resulted in a material with up to 30% less polymer and with viable mechanical properties for certain HIPS applications, where cost and Shore A hardness are more important than impact resistance. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The process of democratizing science and technology represents a challenge for Brazil, especially for the mass media. Research shows that a large part of the population is scientifically illiterate and that there is a constant demand for accessible content. In this book, we analyze the level of knowledge of people in Uberlândia, in the Triângulo Mineiro, and in Catalão, in the southeast of Goiás. The results reflect an incipient but developing scientific education. For this very reason, there is an intrinsic discussion about the responsibility of citizen media in the act of informing all audiences (including the layman), adding value and contributing to the audience's learning. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The potential of the Ecofossa or Evapotranspiration Basin was scientifically evaluated in a master's thesis, as a proposal for a construction system to treat domestic effluent and produce food using a planted system. Ideal for rural areas, more specifically for family farmers, information was generated on the construction system, the treatment of human effluent, soil contamination and fertility inside and outside the basin, as well as the contamination of leaves and fruit from the planted system. The extensionist approach to building the Ecofossa proved to be a good alternative for reusing building materials such as rubble and used tyres. Compared to conventional and non-conventional treatment systems, the Ecofossa construction system has socio-environmental advantages in addition to effluent treatment, such as food production. Ecofossa is therefore a socio-environmental technology that is economically viable, ecologically correct, socially just, culturally appropriate, technologically appropriate and now also scientifically proven. 56 pp. Englisch.
