This paper proposes a probe to monitor the electromagnetic field inside the microwave oven. Although magnetrons are now small and efficient, and solid-state ovens can control the power delivered to the food, neither can “see” the electromagnetic field inside the microwave oven. Therefore, the proposed field detector probe, which is a rectenna (antenna and rectifier), converts the RF (2.45 GHz) signal, inside the cavity, to a dc voltage. The antenna is a simple planar monopole, which is not matched due to the high power levels inside the oven. Two types of rectifiers are proposed, the first one is based on diodes (SMP1302 or SMP1304) and the second one is based on an LDMOS power transistor—BLC2425M8LS300P, provided by Ampleon. By comparing the output dc voltage of the probe when connected to a signal generator (in the laboratory) with the voltage generated by the field detector probe (inside the microwave oven), the electromagnetic field can be mapped. Doing this allows microwave oven manufacturers to optimize and adjust the cooking appliance based on the electromagnetic field, which induces food heating.

Comprehending how the new tourist travels and how they search for information is a crucial step for all brands and marketeers. As a result, the analysis of new trends in tourism due to the use of social media, specifically Instagram and the use of digital influencers in marketing strategies, is the prevalent theme of this chapter since these new advances cannot be ignored if a business/destination aims to keep their competitive advantage. The analysis used was based on Quivy's model, through an online questionnaire. The results then showed a positive impact of Instagram's influencers on consumer travel behaviour, in particular when it comes to brand awareness.

We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a giant cell tumour (GCT) of the right maxilla and pterygoid process. The patient presented to the maxillofacial and head and neck surgery clinic with an ulcerated lesion of the hard palate. Initial workup with CT revealed a mass within the right maxillary sinus and pterygoid process with associated bone expansion and erosion. Biopsy showed a GCT with mucosal ulceration. Two years after surgical resection, a follow-up CT revealed tumour recurrence involving the right pterygoid process and lateral pterygoid muscle. The patient was then proposed for therapy with denosumab. Under denosumab treatment, the lesion maintained stable dimensions and became sclerotic and heavily ossified.

This article proposes a probe to monitor the electromagnetic field inside microwave ovens. Although magnetrons are now small and highly efficient, and solid state ovens can control the power delivered to the food, neither can ‘see’ the electromagnetic field inside the microwave oven. Therefore, this article proposes a field detector probe, based on a rectenna design, which consists of an antenna and a rectifier, converting the RF signal, inside the cavity, to a DC voltage. The rectifier is based on a LDMOS power transistor (BLC2425M8LS300P) provided by Ampleon. The electromagnetic field inside the microwave oven can be detected and measured by reading the output DC voltage generated by the field detector probe.

O terapeuta ocupacional (TO) apresenta em sua formação características capazes de enquadrá-lo como elemento importante no processo de melhorias na inclusão escolar. Objetiva-se caracterizar a produção científica nacional acerca das contribuições da Terapia Ocupacional no processo de inclusão escolar, através de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem bibliométrica. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados da BVS, Scielo, Redalyc e nos periódicos Cadernos de Terapia Ocupacional da UFSCar, Revista de Terapia Ocupacional da USP, Revista Brasileira de Educação Especial e Revista Educação Especial da UFSM, utilizando as expressões de busca “terapia ocupacional”, “inclusão escolar”, “educação especial”, “educação inclusiva”, “contexto escolar”, “tecnologia assistiva” e “escola”. Com o auxílio do Software VantagePoint®, as análises produziram indicadores: ano de publicação; principais periódicos onde estes artigos são publicados; autores que mais participam de publicações; principais temas abordados. Resultados apontaram algumas características da literatura da área, com destaque para o crescimento no número de publicações nos últimos dois anos; predominância de publicações em periódicos da Terapia Ocupacional; pequeno grupo de autores responsáveis pela maioria das publicações; maior parte de estudos originais, de revisão, exploratórios e descritivos; sendo a temática mais frequente referente a questões sobre a atuação do TO em processos de inclusão escolar, dados estes que caracterizam a produção científica e revelam importantes contribuições da Terapia Ocupacional no contexto da educação inclusiva.

Background Performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on women with gynecological devices is a completely accepted practice. The goal of our review is to assess how safe it is to perform MRI on women using contraceptive implants or devices. Study Design Literature review, searching in PubMed-Medline/Ovid for the following keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, intrauterine devices, Implanon�� and Essure��. Results Though plastic devices do not represent a contraindication to the use of the technique, those including metallic components have been submitted to several tests, after which they were classified as MR Conditional (devices presenting no risks in MR-specific environments) by the Food and Drug Administration. Thus, the use of MRI can be safely advised to women with this type of device as long as the magnetic resonance equipment is ���3.0 T. Conclusions Presently, there is no scientific evidence that contraindicates performing MRI on women with any kind of gynecological device. Therefore, this procedure is safe as long as it is performed under previously tested conditions.

We describe a case of a 70-year-old man presenting with a mandibular metastasis as the first sign of a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the rectum. After 6 months of a protracted toothache, the patient presented with a palpable mandibular mass and trismus, precluding adequate clinical evaluation. A CT scan was performed, and imaging findings suggested an aggressive primary jawbone tumour, most likely an osteosarcoma. However, biopsy and further patient’s management proved to be a metastasis. Metastasis to the oral cavity account for only 1%–3% of all malignant oral tumours, and the mandible is the most frequent site. Clinical presentation can be quite variable, and most often a primary malignancy is already known. Jawbone metastases are a sign of disseminated malignant neoplasms, with poor prognosis and usually an indication for palliative therapy.

We describe the case of a 71-year-old man with a ganglioneuroma of the retropharyngeal space. The patient presented with a submucosal bulge of the left oropharyngeal wall during follow-up examination of a treated vocal cord carcinoma. CT and MRI revealed a non-specific, well-defined retropharyngeal soft tissue lesion. Positron emission tomography-CT did not show relevant metabolic activity, excluding the hypothesis of metastatic nodal disease. Surgical biopsy of the lesion was compatible with ganglioneuroma. Ganglioneuromas are well-differentiated tumours composed of mature sympathetic ganglion cells that account for approximately 1% of spinal and paraspinal tumours. Peripherally, ganglioneuromas are predominantly found in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneal space. Only nine ganglioneuromas of the retropharyngeal space have been reported in the English literature since the early 1980s.

The process present in the northern state of Mato Grosso occupation was carried out in order to ensur e the growth and development of the country. Driven b y government incentives and advertising, several fa milies left their place of origin in search of better conditions. In this sense, we aimed to identify local actors and p roduction activities in a settlement belonging to the buffer zone of the Ju ruena National Park. The survey was conducted in Ja nuary 2011, with the residents of the settlement Aruma, located in t he municipality of Apiacas - MT. To collect data, w e used a questionnaire with semi - structured questions, app lied through direct interview conducted by interdis ciplinary research involving environmental and social areas. Data were transcribed and analyzed using qualitative model d efined by the methods of action research and participatory resear ch. The families interviewed came from different Br azilian regions in search of better living, access to land and oppo rtunities, residing in the settlement for more than 10 years. These can withdraw their livelihood through agriculture, live stock, small livestock and mostly by wage labor. Th e region has a need to develop new strategies to ensure the perman ence of these families in the settlement, so that t hey are able to withdraw your income with work within your property, thus reducing the rate of rural migration and suc cess within the country. However, this is only possible with the su pport and technical assistance provided by the loca l sphere and the agency responsible for the park. Keyword: Colonization. Migration. Land use.

Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is believed to be a precursor of anal cancer, and it appears to be related to high-risk human papillomavirus. Women with genital neoplasia have been shown to be at increased risk for anal cancer.The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of anal intraepithelial neoplasia in women with genital neoplasia.This is a cross-sectional study.This study took place at Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Porto Alegre, Brazil, from May 2008 to April 2010.Included in the study were 106 immunocompetent women with a histopathological diagnosis of genital neoplasia and 74 women without gynecologic neoplasia.All women underwent high-resolution anoscopy with biopsies of acetowhite areas or abnormal vascular features such as punctation and mosaics for histopathological diagnosis of anal intraepithelial neoplasia.: The overall prevalence of anal intraepithelial neoplasia was 6.6%. In women with genital neoplasia, the prevalence was 10.4% (95% CI, 5.6%-17.3%), whereas the prevalence was 1.4% (95% CI, 0.07%-6.5%) in women without genital neoplasia (P = .016). The prevalence ratio was 7.68 (95% CI, 1.01-58.21).Women with normal results on high-resolution anoscopy were not submitted to random biopsies for ethical reasons. Small lesions could be missed, and thus our findings might be underestimated.The prevalence of anal intraepithelial neoplasia is higher in women with genital neoplasia.
