Background:
Dental biofilm accumulation and poor personal oral hygiene are known major risk factors for gingivitis and halitosis. However, it is not clear how studies compare the effectiveness of hygiene regimens, associated with outcomes centered on patients.
Methods:
A randomized, blind, controlled clinical trial involving 58 participants aged from 12 to 17 years, who search the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of
Universidade Metropolitana de Santos
, will be conducted. Immediately, the volunteers will be inserted into Group 1 (commercially available hygiene regimen) or Group 2 (tooth brushing alone). In Group 1, participants will receive
Colgate Total 12
toothpastes,
Plax
mouthwashes and
Colgate Ultrasoft
toothbrushes, while Group 2 will use
Colgate Cavity Protection
toothpastes and
Colgate Ultrasoft
toothbrushes. The interventions will be conducted in the periods of 1, 3, and 6 months after the baseline, when the evaluations will also be performed. Biofilm and halitosis indexes will be evaluated. Data regarding discomfort, satisfaction and the socioeconomic/individual characteristics will also be computed.
Discussion:
Although toothbrushing has shown positive effects in decreasing biofilm and in gingival health, there is no comparison in the literature of different brushing regimens with halitosis measurement in adolescents. In addition, the effectiveness of these protocols would be confirmed from the acceptability of the volunteers.
O presente artigo trata de uma etnografia no Serviço de Parque Zoobotânico do Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi, localizado na cidade de Belém (PA), acerca das experiências interespecíficas entre os profissionais nomeados tratadores e os animais cativos que constituem uma coleção natural do parque. Aqui descrevo e problematizo o trabalho no campo através desses encontros e práticas conservacionistas nas espacialidades dos recintos de animais. Reflito ainda sobre as implicações da conservação das espécies, do controle e da organização dos indivíduos por meio da estrutura das instalações e da arquitetura, bem como trato das possibilidades de realização de uma etnografia interespécies no ambiente cativo. Isso permite repensar o “campo” enquanto local de encontros interespécies: são inseparáveis as espécies heterogêneas, as coisas, os objetos e as práticas, que estão articulados no zoológico, onde humanos e não humanos se reúnem através de culturas, políticas e naturezas.
This work aimed to compare the consumption of electricity between two different microenterprises in the local market. Surveys were carried out on how much the process to produce and keep their products stored consumes electricity and how the older equipment in micro-enterprises increases electricity costs. In view of this, a comparison was made of the consumption in Kwh of the companies studied. In its second and third stages, the research sought to find out the effect on the acquisition of more economical equipment, adhering to the financing services of the National Bank for Economic and Social Development - BNDES, through the BNDES Finem financing line. Having as a comparison the consumption of electricity between them. According to the data acquired in the field visit, a graph was created that presents information on the energy consumption of the two companies studied, through calculations of the average consumption in kiloWatt-hour (kwh).
O presente estudo propõe como tema de pesquisa, a determinação de que o clima é um direito fundamental essencial ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Determinando a urgência da (re)afirmação do pacto global de combate às alterações climáticas do Acordo de Paris. A pesquisa evidencia que há uma tendência elucidada na análise comparativa de políticas internacionais de combate às crises e alterações climáticas e em análises de casos recentes sobre litígios climáticos de que o Estado deveria dar uma contribuição adequada, maior do que sua contribuição atual, de modo a combater as mudanças climáticas e os perigos dela decorrente que comprometem o futuro da humanidade em razão da urgência no combate às alterações climáticas.
