Anchorage control is one of the most challenging tasks in orthodontic treatment. Many different types of appliance are used to control anchorage, but an excellent outcome may be difficult to achieve owing to either poor mechanics or inadequate patient compliance. Recently, temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) have become popular in orthodontics. Some orthodontic movements that are now possible using TSADs were previously considered almost impossible with traditional orthodontic appliances. Several different types of TSAD are currently available, and in choosing between them orthodontists are obliged to rely on the information provided by manufacturers, which is often not based on scientific evidence. This book therefore presents the various design characteristics of TSADs and provides up-to-date scientific evidence to assist orthodontists in selecting the best TSADs for their patients.
Focusing on the military institutions (army, militia, and National Guard) of Bahia, Brazil, this book analyzes the regions transition from Portuguese colony to province of the Brazilian Empire. It examines the social, racial, and cultural dimensions of post-independence state-building in one of the principal slave plantation regions of the Americas. Contrary to those who stress the autonomy of the Brazilian state, this book documents the close connections between the locally-organized armed forces and society in the late colonial period. Racially segregated and mirroring the class hierarchies of the larger society, these military institutions were profoundly transformed by the war for inde...
This book, which I am pleased to preface, is divided into two parts of great relevance to contemporary feminist studies, especially to the peripheral countries of the capitalist world. In it lie essays that I divide into two categories. On the one hand, we have articles that address structural issues involving human rights and, in particular, women’s rights. These are the texts that discuss the way in which the subject of human rights, in the contexts of the regional economic communities, are inserted; there are also the texts that address the bankruptcy of the patriarchal political system regarding the political representation of women in countries like India and Brazil; and the chapter i...
"In time for Brazil's hosting of the 2014 World Cup, this book uses the stories of star players and other key figures (based on over 40 interviews) to create a contemporary history of Brazilian soccer from the 1950s to the present. It also explores race and class tensions in Brazil and shows how soccer is central to the country's dramatic trajectory toward modernity and economic power"--
A história da cultura baseada no gênero moldou os papéis, públicos e privados, que homens e mulheres se encontram atualmente. Além da abordagem sobre temas de interesse mais abrangente, como direitos políticos, direito eleitoral, igualdade de gênero, democracia, representação descritiva e substantiva, a obra aborda a representação política feminina que, apesar das sensíveis mudanças decorrentes das ações afirmativas, ainda se encontra aquém das exigências de um Estado Democrático de Direito. Para além disso, o livro traz um quadro de obstáculos à participação política feminina e de mecanismos e agentes de impulsionamento de tal atividade, que vão muito além das cotas. Apresenta, também, uma importante reflexão sobre os riscos de retrocessos decorrentes da necessária reavaliação de medidas de discriminação positiva, dado seu caráter temporário e dos riscos de movimentos contracorrentes que possam colocar em risco, ainda que dentro de um processo democrático, os direitos políticos das mulheres, tudo dentro de um vasto estudo histórico, social, político, filosófico e jurídico.
