The sense of vision is associated with an important cognitive skill and its learning is fundamental to the fostering of any citizen. Due to this fact, the study of different forms of graphical representation becomes important in the teaching and learning of Mathematics. Therefore, a solid knowledge of Geometry is necessary in the training of good teachers of Physics. This work analyzes the importance of the study of Geometry for future teachers of Physics.

The study investigated, from the perspective of the French Discourse Analysis, how meanings related to the notion of “father” are socially and historically constructed as well as how they are defined by the influence of ideology on individuals. Discourse data from a survey with teenagers point to different meanings of “father” such as: the family provider, the god-incarnated and/or the distant “father”.

This article aims at analyzing the necessary changes in the classroom brought by the use of the New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT). The implementation of these technologies in educational settings demands a review of pedagogical practices in the classroom. Research on the influence of digital games on learning, the importance of virtual learning environments in distance education, and the use of Information and Communication Technologies as a way to promote digital inclusion for disabled people are also discussed in this article.

Bohm’s interpretation of Quantum Mechanics appears as one of the main alternatives to the hegemonic model proposed by the Copenhagen School. This works aims at making a concise presentation of the outlines and the main conceptual framework of the approach followed by David Bohm.

The present study is about the not-said in “Barren Lives”, a novel by Graciliano Ramos (1938), now in its 93rd edition. The aim is a hermeneutic study of the work fundamented and enlightened by the concepts of philosophers such as Gadamer, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger and Nietzche; and commentators as Santiago Kovadloff, Ernildo Stein, Danilo Marcondes, among others. Our intention is to appeal to reasoning to analyze the lack of reason, the reasoning emptiness, a primary critical silence due to the human condition having as background the bareness found in the novel by this remarkable writer from Alagoas.

Although most women have enough muscle strength to carry out daily tasks in their lifetime, elderly females usually experiment muscular loss. This study aimed at verifying muscle strength gain through the 1 RM test in various muscular segments in a group of 30 elderly women. Results were significant (p<0,05); however, lower members scored higher – 43.50% in the leg press machine against 14% in the supine position, which led to the conclusion that gains are more expressive in greater muscular groupings.

This work aims at describing the festival that takes place every last Sunday of July in the city of Varre-Sai, Rio de Janeiro. This research conducted an ethnography work, carried out in two phases: one consisting of a series of interviews with local wine cellar owners and officials from the Department of Tourism and Culture of Varre-Sai; the other consisting of observations and descriptions of the festival days.

Action information gives productivity to companies when it is a core element and to achieve this it requires an organized, systematic application which enables a collaborative environment where several participants raise deliberations about knowledge decisions including the work environment context when artifacts and knowledge processes are modified and started through the application of parameters that influence the ICT tools that help decision-making focused on knowledge management.

Dental implant treatment is the most predictable therapeutic option in the partial or total replacement of missing teeth; currently it has a considerable success rate, however, failures do not escape them. Being a complex procedure, it is essential to have a good working protocol, i.e. a correct diagnosis in order to identify risk factors that may lead to implant failure and to restore the health, esthetics and function of our patients for many years, implementing preventive measures. The purpose of this article is to make known by means of an updated literature analysis the risk factors that could affect the osseointegration process, as well as the different lesions that can occur. Among the variables analyzed were: osteoporosis, smoking, consumption of bisphosphonates, receiving radiotherapy treatment, as well as the age and sex of the patient. The subject of the risk factors that condition the vitality of dental implants can help more professionals to contribute with alternatives and development so that dental implants continue to evolve. A bibliographic, documentary, exploratory and non-experimental, qualitative research was carried out by means of a search of articles in databases such as: Pubmed, Scielo, Google Scholar.

The dental microscope has been used since ancient times, to magnify our vision giving the opportunity to perform analysis and methods with greater precision, it has been worked in stereoscopic vision and coaxial illumination, helping in the diagnosis of pathologies, elimination of calcifications, as well as the vision with accuracy of instruments that are trapped in the dental pieces. It allows the study and localization of minute structures at the radicular level, this instrument has allowed the professional to generate a better position in terms of hands, back, head, neck with a good position of the operator, microscope and patient. The use of the microscope in endodontics has technical advantages for the operator and advantages for the patients, which is important at the time of performing a treatment and diagnosing a dental condition. In root canal treatment it is necessary to have good instruments. The anatomy of the root canal of the maxillary molars is considerably complicated, so there have been high levels of failure of endodontic treatment of teeth that have the second mesiobuccal canal. The use of microscope and other devices may explain the higher detection rate of additional canals and improve the quality of treatment. The present study was conducted with the aim of describing the benefits of the use of the microscope in the field of endodontics. A total of 41 articles were reviewed.
