Oral diseases are one of the more common non-communicable health diseases. They pose a major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and even death. As per WHO, it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people globally. In developing countries, the estimate could be still higher owing to the lack of awareness among the general public, the lack of adequate infrastructure, and less accessibility to oral health care providers, especially amongst people of lower socio-economic status. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of various oral diseases with emphasis on the pathogenesis, investigation, and the management protocol of different oral and maxillofacial diseases.

The Oral Healthcare community, including clinical professionals and industry, acknowledges the shared responsibility to deliver products and interventions that improve oral health in a more sustainable manner. To deliver this, the community is working in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Key to establishing this collaborative stakeholder consensus is a deep contextual understanding of the challenge. This is achieved through a comprehensive account of the levels of awareness of the environmental impacts, the challenges to resolve these impacts together with the drivers and opportunities to promote sustainable practices. This report concludes with a strategic action framework that makes specific recommendations and identifies best practice to achieve these goals. The promotion of excellent oral healthcare and the development of a circular economy are core to this strategy. Additionally, it is also important to recognise the opportunities to collaborate across the sector, and throughout supply chains, to develop and promote sustainable practices to achieve meaningful and measurable environmental outcomes in the sector. In this context, the FDI World Dental Federation convened the development of this volume, Consensus on Environmentally Sustainable Oral Healthcare: A Joint Stakeholder Statement. This consensus statement brings together a global coalition of stakeholders, representing all aspects of industry, health professionals, experts, legislative authorities and governments. The statement uses a truly collaborative, multi-stakeholder approach to identify the major challenges facing oral healthcare, the complex drivers that underpin current behaviours and practices, and the best opportunities to improve and deliver sustainable oral healthcare for people and the planet. Concluding with an impactful and robust strategic action plan that crosses all boundaries, the statement identifies a series of actions and recommendations for best practice that address the sustainability issues facing the whole sector.

Depois de ter recuperado para o nosso património vivo obras tão importantes como História do Fado, de Pinto de Carvalho (Tinop), Através dos Campos, de José da Silva Picão, Da Prostituição na Cidade de Lisboa, de Francisco Ignacio dos Santos Cruz, e Contos Populares Portugueses, de Adolfo Coelho, a colecção «Portugal de Perto» orgulha-se de poder agora oferecer aos seus leitores aquela que tem sido considerada a primeira grande obra de conjunto da etnografia portuguesa: O Povo Português nos Seus Costumes, Crenças e Tradições, de Teófilo Braga, publicada em dois volumes em 1885. Como refere Jorge Freitas Branco no esclarecedor prefácio que para esta edição escreveu, volvidos que são cem anos sobre a sua publicação, «não perdeu qualquer interesse relembrá-la pela reedição, rever nela as ideias oitocentistas com o distanciamento crítico do tempo percorrido, repensar a seu propósito o quadro de desenvolvimento de ramos do conhecimento científico em Portugal [...] e, finalmente, facilitar ao público o acesso a um texto cheio de pormenores dum quotidiano para muitos de nós ainda não completamente votado ao esquecimento». Dada a extensão da obra, manteve-se na presente reedição a divisão em dois volumes a que obedeceu a edição original de 1885.

"This edited collection addresses the proliferation in recent years of community-engaged archives projects in the context of higher education. Featuring perspectives from educators, archivists (both community- and institutionally-affiliated), and undergraduates involved in efforts to deconstruct and transform the institutional authority of the archive, the volume details new roles for archives in undergraduate pedagogy and new roles for undergraduates in archives. While there has long been a place for archival exploration in undergraduate education, especially primary source analysis of items curated by archivists and educators, the models offered here engage students not only in analyzing collections, but also in the manifold challenges of building, stewarding, and communicating about collections. In transforming what archives are to undergraduate education, such projects as are profiled here transform the authority of the archive, as students and community partners claim powers to curate and create history. The volume is informed and inspired by recent scholarship in critical digital archives, Critical Archival Studies at large, and community-based archives. Contributions to this volume represent a wide range of institutions, from small liberal arts colleges to HBCUs to Ivy Leagues to large research institutions. Not all the projects detailed in this collection are primarily affiliated with academic institutions. Chapters focused on community- rather than campus-based archives projects address how they have involved significant undergraduate labor and leadership, and offer insight into the interaction between community archives and academic institutions.The assignments, projects, and initiatives described across this collection are fundamentally concerned with the challenge to model digital archival collections so as to center individual and community voices that are historically under-engaged in the archives. To address this challenge, contributors describe various approaches to substantively, often radically, redistribute archival resources and authority"--

This book brings the panorama and perspectives of oral history, drawn by specialists from different countries. The texts discuss various possibilities of using oral history: as a research tool, as a mechanism for organization and social mobilization and as an agent for the construction of identities. It also deals with crucial issues for the understanding of the 20th century, such as the effects of the Second World War and the Cold War and the so-called 'deindustrialization' of the end of the century. The book thus allows to follow the debate around new problems and old questions, fundamental to the development of studies and projects in oral history, in different areas of knowledge.
