This work provides a literature review of Policy, Planning and Health Management between 1974 and 2005. Information is presented from previous research and publications, incorporating the production contained within the LILACS database from the last five years. The emergence of studies in these sub-themes is described in an attempt to associate them with political circumstances, with particular...

The main impetus behind the creation of the movement was the successive agrarian revolts that occurred between 1895 and 1945. Those revolts significantly disrupted the national Canadian political process, both directly by producing the Progressive movement, and indirectly by contrib...

Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) is mainly remembered as the "father" of cellular pathology; however, he was not just a pathologist. His contributions to anthropology, archeology, ethnography, and history, as well as his involvement in epidemiology, public health, and politics, portray a man with multiple interests, deeply engaged in the controversies of his time. In his Report on the Typhus Epidemic...

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...

PURPOSE: An analytical model to predict the response of mounds placed in the offshore is presented, with the overall aim of providing a technique for the preliminary design of mounds subjected mainly to cross-shore sediment-transport processes induced by non-breaking waves. For example, offshore mounds created from dredged material can be used to protect sandy beaches by dissipating wave energy...
