Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study examines mythologems, myths and archetypes as a plot-forming factor of adventure genre films on the example of the national Belarusian cinema. Adventure cinema, being the most popular genre group among the viewers all over the world, has always been characterised by a great influence of mythological motifs on its plots. Adventure films are the fulfilment of the viewer's dream of an adventurous experience. For the sake of satisfying this spectator's dream, mythologems are present in them, as they are the accumulated experience of generations of basic fabulae, the embodiment of which the spectator expects to see on the screen. The correspondence of the plots of adventure films to mythologems that have been absorbed by the historical and cultural experience of mankind makes it possible to understand and accept the plots of such films practically outside the temporal and territorial boundaries of national cultures.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A branch of onomastics that studies the origins of proper names, the examination of anthroponymy in Jean Genet's stories focuses on the links between the instability of the author's name and the geographical mobility of his relationships with different social strata. Through a morpho-semantic analysis of the author's multiple appellations, the evolution of this fabulist and mythomaniac writer's names in his narratives draws its essence from his broken biography, which he transcends through backward sublimation to set himself up as characters both evil and illustrious.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -By means of a historical-legislative, doctrinal and jurisprudential study, we sought to analyse the compatibility of the use of arbitration in public-private partnership contracts. In the current context, there is a new state stance on administrative contracts, with an emphasis on parity, participation and consensus in relations between the public partner and the private individual. Among the innovations of the public-private partnership law is the possibility of resolving disputes by non-judicial means, in particular the use of arbitration. In addition, there has also been a recent update to the arbitration law, with the inclusion of a provision that expressly authorises the application of arbitration in dealings between the contracting administration and the private contractor. The scope of this study is therefore to analyse the possibility of using arbitration specifically in partnership contracts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -¿Any subject ¿learns in transition¿ when they launch into this movement of constructing and reconstructing themselves, others and the world, living this passage as a unique moment. These are movements between different and even opposing situations, feelings and thoughts; they are spiral, circular movements like a dance of ¿coming and going¿ that goes beyond the linear movement in search of a single sense, a single direction. In this process of ¿learning in transit¿ there are many aspects to consider.¿ (MASINI & SHIRAHIGE, Condições para aprender.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The environmental issue is becoming increasingly important in the contemporary world, due to the environmental impacts of urban-industrial society. In this context, urban planning, with the Masterplan as an essential instrument, is important for land-use planning and improving the population's quality of life through the sustainable development of the urban environment. However, in order to understand the environmental issue within a city, it is necessary to go much further than what is described in the Masterplan. It is necessary to understand the origin of the municipality and how urban space was appropriated and planned. In addition, it is also necessary to analyse the relationship that people have with the urban environment, with the natural environment within it and its importance for society. These are the topics that this book aims to address, as well as critically analysing how the environment is addressed within a city's Master Plan, specifically here, the city of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book deals with the context Brazil experienced in the first two decades of the 20th century, emphasising the developments that led to the art exhibition that took shape in the Modern Art Week of 1922, held from 13 to 18 February at the Municipal Theatre of São Paulo, which exhibited literary, pictorial and sculptural works. It is commendable to recall the context of our country in the period mentioned above and the various situations experienced by Brazilians, from the coffee crisis to the establishment of the Municipal Theatre of São Paulo in 1922, the place and year in which the Modern Art Week took place and on which an extensive avant-garde period would unfold, placing our arts within the characteristics of modern arts. X This event was an emblematic shock to admirers of classical art, as the exhibition was intended to put an end to the academicism that came from Europe, but no matter how hard Brazilian artists tried, they still left characteristics of European ¿isms¿ in their work.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -When interacting with their work environment, people can damage their health if certain safety parameters are not respected and are above tolerance limits or unsuitable for the activity being carried out, in accordance with current legislation. The analysis of the Environmental Risk Prevention Programme (PPRA) was carried out in an educational institution, where the occupational risks found in this sector were measured and analysed with the aim of eliminating or minimising them so as not to cause problems for staff, students, teachers and other people who use this space. With regard to lighting, in general, the laboratories and other facilities that were assessed were outside the limits set by legislation. Most of the time, the problem was due to the poor distribution of light fittings, the lack of monitoring to ensure that light bulbs that burn out are replaced or the use of light bulbs with inefficient power for the environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -You have to believe in it. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. It was with this in mind, thinking about the new, about change and especially about SENAI-BY's information needs, that I sought to plan and develop all my work, which began when I was still a trainee. From then on, I started working on research to get to know and understand the whole history of the institution. Then I did all the necessary planning, and of course I always tried to be very attentive and delicate when dealing with the issue with the administration, since we were specifically dealing with a strong cultural change. The first action went well, the support came, the partnership, and then I began to develop my long-awaited document management project. I innovated the variadex method, a method created by Ramington Rand (USA), which created this method in five colours, and I innovated it with 79 colours, which won me the ¿Best Internship Practices 2010¿ award, and I published an article in Documentácion magazine in Spain. I ended up creating four more projects that won me third place in the Ozires Silva Award for Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Curitiba, Paraná.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Alveolar bone grafting is a standard procedure for occlusal, aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of patients with cleft lip and palate. The use of this technique allows for the re-establishment of maxillary continuity, enabling tooth eruption and movement through the formation of a bone bridge. Its varied success rate is related to systemic, surgical and sociocultural factors. This study will assess the success rate of alveolar bone grafts carried out at the Centrinho do Hospital Santo Antônio in Salvador-BA, between January 2013 and December 2014. Data from the medical records of the sample population will be used, as well as a clinical examination and evaluation of radiographic examinations. Epidemiological data will be correlated with the success rates of this procedure in order to establish the possible causes of poor bone formation and graft loss.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The aim of this study was to assess the self-perception of complete denture wearers who sought care with the aim of having a new denture made. Twelve patients took part in the study and the OHIP-14 questionnaire was used to assess and measure the level of satisfaction of the patients in question after six months of using the new prosthesis. Two interviews were carried out: an initial interview and a follow-up interview after six months of use. In general, around 91.6% (11) were satisfied and reported a slight discomfort with chewing, due to the regional diet, which is mainly made up of manioc flour and fish. And 8.3% (1) of the patients reported being dissatisfied after delivery, but did not return for the necessary adjustments and returned for the final interview. The conclusion is that it is important to restore the patient's aesthetics and masticatory function, as these are important factors for quality of life, and that there was also a change in self-esteem when the patients showed satisfaction with the result of the new dental prosthesis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Machining represents 50% of the production cost of mechanical components. The study of steels and their respective metallurgical aspects such as chemical composition, cold working, microstructure and inclusions have a marked effect on the machinability of this class of metallic material. The aim of this study is to evaluate the machinability of steel in relation to metallurgical aspects, by means of a survey of the literature. It was found that in cold working, in order to increase the hardness and decrease the ductility of steels, it is necessary to promote their hardening. It was also found that in terms of chemical composition and microstructure, it was possible to verify respectively that the phase change caused by heat treatment affects its machinability and that the increase in the sulphur content of the steel results in the formation of small chips during machining, favouring less flank wear of the cutting tool. It can be seen that knowing the machinability of steel, its characteristics and adding some alloying elements and knowing some process parameters can improve the process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Electronics is the science that studies how to control electrical energy by electrical means in which electrons play a fundamental role. It is divided into analogue and digital because its working coordinates choose to obey these two ways of presenting the electrical signals to be processed. In a broader definition, we can say that electronics is the branch of science that studies the use of circuits made up of electrical and electronic components, with the main aim of representing, storing, transmitting or processing information, as well as controlling processes and serving mechanisms. From this perspective, it can also be said that the internal circuits of computers (which store and process information), telecommunications systems (which transmit information), various types of sensors and transducers (which represent physical quantities - information - in the form of electrical signals) are all within the area of interest of electronics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study analyses the literary construction of space. More specifically, we analyse the artistic construction of the city and the means used to give it high relevance in the text. To this end, we chose the work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, published in the 1920s and 1930s. We also analysed how Vitor Ramil (a reader and self-confessed admirer of Borges) constructs his own Satolep from the city of Pelotas. For this analysis, we used his novels that thematise the city: Pequod (1999) and Satolep (2008).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The evolution of molecular and computational techniques has made it possible to advance research into the classification of living beings. Software has been developed capable of analysing DNA sequences that make up the genome of living beings, making it possible to determine genetic similarities and establish kinship relationships. Areas such as phylogenetics have been the scene of great discussion and controversy, since analyses of kinship between species based on genes did not always corroborate with the phylogenies created from anatomical studies. With the intention of making the process of identifying species more practical, DNA barcodes emerged, a barcode similar to the ones on products on market shelves. The DNA barcode is based on a short DNA sequence from the species' genome, which is enough to discriminate and classify it. In order to choose the target genes for DNA barcoding, various studies have been carried out to determine the most favourable genes. The aim of this paper is to provide a bibliographical review of the basic concepts, the current state of research and methods for classifying and identifying living beings based on the organisms' genomes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
