No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia.Este estudo in vitro foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a resistência à microtração, e a nanoinfiltração de sistemas adesivos em dentina decídua, imediatamente (IM) e após seis meses (6M) do procedimento adesivo. Coroas de molares decíduos, hígidos e extraídos, foram desgastadas com papel de carbeto de silício até a granulação 600, obtendo-se superfícies oclusais planas, distribuídas em quatro grupos: Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SMP), Single Bond (SB), Clearfil SE Bond (CSB) e Adper Prompt L-Pop (APL). Baseado nos dados obtidos pôde-se concluir que a resistência adesiva e a nanoinfiltração não foram influenciadas pelo envelhecimento e que a expressão da nanoinfiltração foi diferente entre os adesivos de condicionamento ácido total e autocondicionantes

Spotlight on Carla Ramsey
No full textCarla Ramsey, the author of the Adelaide comparison appearing in this issue, was born and raised in San Antonio, where she began studying piano at age six and trombone at eleven. I wish I had taken up cello instead, she says, .. but Texas was band country back in the \u2750s. Why trombone, instead of clarinet or flute like the other girls? I can\u27t remember. why I found this instrument so fascinating, but it might have had something to do with the fact that I enjoyed hanging out with and competing with the guys, admits- the self-described aging tomboy. Later, in my 20s and 30s, l studied cello for several years, but by then it was too late to master i

Vacío cultural y autenticidad: Carla Lonzi=Cultural vacuum and authenticity: Carla Lonzi
No full textResumen:
La crítica a la cultura occidental realizada por el movimiento feminista es relevante tanto para poner en evidencia que Occidente procede de forma colonialista con los sujetos y culturas que considera inferiores, como para llevar a cabo el necesario trabajo de autocrítica dentro de los feminismos occidentales que tienen que asumir sus prejuicios con respecto a subjetividades y culturas marginadas, y por tanto hacer las transformaciones precisas en sus perspectivas y análisis para acabar con las tendencias colonialistas. La reflexión se centra en Carla Lonzi por ser una autora que en todas sus obras mantiene la necesidad de realizar una crítica radical a la cultura.
Abstract:
The critique of Western culture carried out by the feminist movement is significant because it makes clear that the West adopts a colonialist approach to subjects and cultures it considers inferior. It is necessary for the work of self-criticism within Western feminisms that they recognize their prejudices regarding subjectivities and marginalized cultures, allowing necessary transformations to end colonialist tendencies. The reflection focuses on Carla Lonzi for being an author who in all her works maintains the need to make a radical critique of culture
