This book describes the most commonly used techniques in Oral Rehabilitation. It has been designed in a step-by-step manner, using study models to standardize how procedures should be performed in an ideal scenario. In this textbook, every chapter contains the description of a technique, its aim and the rationale for each step, which provides students with the tools to grasp the logical reasoning behind each procedure. The volume is divided into three parts: (1) Surgery; (2) Tooth-supported prosthodontics and (3) Implant-supported prosthodontics. This textbook is rich in photographic images and diagrams, and is highly didactic and will facilitate the route to achieving competence in the techniques described here. It was created for both dental students and qualified dentists, as one may learn thoroughly from it, as well as use it as a quick reference.
Fueled by new data from the Varieties of Democracy project, Democratic Quality in Southern Europe takes a close look at the democratic trajectories of France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain over the past fifty years. Despite similar beginnings, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain have experienced significant variations in the way their democracies have evolved. Covering ground from the protest movements of the late ’60s and early ’70s to the challenges that resulted from the financial crisis of the Great Recession, editor Tiago Fernandes expertly draws together a collection of essays that look beyond the impact of socioeconomic development in these five countries, exploring innovative and nuanced explanations for their diverging paths. Democratic Quality in Southern Europe combines new data with classical methodologies to create fresh, convincing hypotheses on the development, quality, and depth of democracy in this critical region.

This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies, institutions, citizens, and students to rapidly change their behaviors and use virtual technologies to perform their usual working tasks. Though virtual technologies for learning were already present in most universities, the pandemic has forced virtual technologies to lead the way in order to continue teaching and learning for students and faculty around the world. Universities and teachers had to quickly adjust everything from their curriculum to their teaching styles in order to adapt to an online learning environment. Online learning is a complex issue and one that comes with both challenges and opportunities; there is plenty of room for growth...
O constante e incontrolável crescimento da produção tecnológica ocasionou significativas mudanças, não somente na forma de produção, mas, também, no comportamento daqueles que participam das relações de trabalho, levando-nos a ter que repensar toda a sistemática anterior da relação empregado/empregador; muitas vezes regulada por legislações que não previam o surgimento dessa nova "era digital". Transformações na forma de produzir, na forma de controlar o trabalho, na forma de se comunicar, tem exigido respostas de juristas em um curto espaço de tempo, sendo o objetivo deste livro a busca por essas respostas (através de um estudo multidisciplinar, e com o apoio da doutrina, da jurisprudência, e do Direito comparado), e mais especificamente se dentro dessa nova realidade o poder diretivo do empregador permite que ele exerça o total controle do que denominamos "novas ferramentas de trabalho", em especial do e-mail, mesmo que contendo informações e dados pessoais dos trabalhadores – o que, em uma primeira análise, acarreta grave afronta ao seu direito à privacidade.
Este século, caracterizado pelo avanço desmedido da tecnologia – a qual é responsável por manter as pessoas constantemente conectadas –, apresenta uma nova dimensão ao ambiente laboral: o trabalho realizado a distância - o teletrabalho –, inserido na Quarta Revolução Industrial. Interessa, portanto, dimensionar o grau de interferência da tecnologia na vida das pessoas – inclusive esse é o escopo deste livro, isto é: ponderar se a subjetividade do indivíduo vem sendo afetada, no ambiente laboral, pelo avanço estupendo da tecnologia e dos meios de comunicação, capaz de mesclar o tempo de vida com o tempo de trabalho em face da dificuldade de desconexão da sociedade cont...
