How do households consume and spend on energy? What are the drivers of their spending and consumption patterns? How does energy consumption has evolved? What is to be expected as the region climbs the development ladder? What are the distributive implications of different energy pricing approaches? This book looks at these questions and examines which policies work in reducing energy poverty and increasing energy savings. The authors unveil the growing household demand of better quality of energy and show that to achieve more cost-effective and progressive public policies, it is necessary to strengthen the transparency and sustainability of energy pricing while having into account the consumer behavioral responses. This volume is a resource for designing energy policies based on an empirical understanding of the household’s energy needs.

A intolerância ao glúten é uma incapacidade do organismo em absorver os nutrientes do glúten, que é a principal proteína encontrada em alguns cereais. A incapacidade de absorver partes do glúten pode ser devida a um componente genético ou pode ser adquirida em qualquer fase da vida. A intolerância pode ainda se manifestar após a ingestão de alimentos que contém este elemento, ou em casos assintomáticos, em que mesmo com a ausência dos sintomas, o intestino sofre agressões pela ingestão ao glúten. O estudo teve como objetivo pesquisar sobre o diagnóstico, intolerância ao glúten e alternativas de alimentos para os pacientes. O estudo foi composto por um conjunto de publicações contidas em periódicos, livros-textos, monografias, dissertações e teses. A coleta foi realizada nas bases eletrônicas Scielo (Scientific Eletronic Library Online), Bireme (Biblioteca Regional de Medicina), BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), Pubmed e Lilacs (Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências Sócias e da Saúde) e publicações como: monografias, dissertações e teses disponíveis eletronicamente, bem como livros-textos no período de 1989 a 2016. Através da realização deste estudo, foi possível perceber que o glúten está presente na maioria dos alimentos disponíveis, sendo encontrado no trigo, na cevada, no centeio, na aveia e derivados, e se faz necessário que existam companhas informativas aos portadores, especialmente, os quais buscam informações quanto a sua deficiência e formas de conviver com ela, sempre prezando pelo seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida. Palavras-chave: Intolerância. Ingestão. Glúten. AbstractThe gluten intolerance is an inability of the body to absorb nutrients, which is one of the main nutrients of some cereals. The inability to absorb the parts can be a genetic component or can be acquired at any stage of life. Intolerance may continue to manifest itself after a process of awareness, that is, in asymptomatic cases, when with the absence of bowel symptoms, in the aggression to the use. The study had a good relationship with diagnosis, gluten intolerance and food alternatives for patients. The study was composed of a set of publications contained in periodicals, textbooks, monographs, dissertations and theses. The collection was carried out in the electronic databases of Scielo, the Regional Library of Medicine, the Virtual Health Library, Pubmed and Lilacs and the publication in English of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Social and Health Sciences. The monographs, dissertations and theses available electronically, as well as textbooks from 1989 to 2016, are not found in wheat, in barley, rye, oats and derivatives. It is necessary to have information about the patients, especially those who seek information about their disability and ways of living with them, always esteemed by their well-being and quality of life. Keywords: Intolerance. Ingestion. Gluten.

The population of Brazil and the world is aging. The great challenge is to grow old by maintaining quality of life with health, including oral health. The objective of this study was to identify the recurrent themes in Geriodontics, through a bibliometric survey, using the database of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), conducted in 2016. Geriodontics, as a relatively new specialty, presents major challenges related to the elderly population (oral health, prostheses, periodontics, for example). In view of a historical context of aging and increased elderly population, there is a concern to deepen the studies in relation to the subject. Knowing the problems allows offering a better service with quality and adequate training of the professional.

Population-wide sodium reduction is a cost-effective approach to address the adverse health effects associated with excess sodium consumption. Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries consume excess dietary sodium. Packaged foods are a major contributor to sodium intake and a target for sodium reduction interventions. This study examined sodium levels in 12 categories of packaged foods sold in 14 LAC (n = 16,357). Mean sodium levels and percentiles were examined. Sodium levels were compared to regional sodium reduction targets. In this baseline analysis, 82% of foods met the regional target and 47% met the lower target. The greatest proportion of products meeting the regional target were uncooked pasta and noodles (98%), flavored cookies/crackers (97%), seasonings for sides/main dishes (96%), mayonnaise (94%), and cured/preserved meats (91%). A large proportion of foods met the lower target among uncooked pasta and noodles (88%), cooked pasta and noodles (88%), and meat/fish seasonings (88%). The highest the highest median sodium levels were among condiments (7778 mg/100 g), processed meats (870 mg/100 g), mayonnaise (755 mg/100 g), bread products (458 mg/100 g), cheese (643 mg/100 g), and snack foods (625 mg/100 g). These baseline data suggest that sodium reduction targets may need to be more stringent to enable effective lowering of sodium intake.

Objective: this study aims to correlate the feelings of the client with cancer mainly highlighting the anguish in a perspective Heideggerian existentialist. Methods: a descriptive study, qualitative, the type bibliography. To review, it took a search in books and in the database of the Scientific Electronic Library Online, Literature Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, Virtual Health Library, and Google Scholar, using the terms: oncology nursing, cancer, anxiety, Heidegger. Twelve articles were selected considering the cut time of the last twelve years and the inclusion of subjective approaches. The Heideggerian approach subsidized understanding of issues of subjectivity, bringing contributions to a humanized intervention. Results: the cancer is a disease that refers the man to get in touch with their own finitude, so the person with cancer experiences a feeling of anguish, so that client has a need for assistance not just in physical but also emotional. The sense of anguish allows a man to the rescue of daily living, to suit the whole, and that feeling emerges when the man realizes that it is finite. Conclusion: it is crucial to understanding this type of feeling for nursing, to consider the being within their individualities, which will directly reflect the quality of its assistance. Descriptors:   oncologic nursing; emotions; stress psychological; anxiety; existentialism.

Energy Deprivation

Abstract Energy is a critical input for any socioeconomic system and it has become a central point in sustainable development worldwide. Energy deprivation in its various degrees has given rise to the term Energy Poverty. The deprivations in access and quality of energy services sustained over time are elements that generate social exclusion processes and limit the development of the countries with these characteristics. The aim of this paper is to deepen the conceptual discussion of energy poverty and exclusion and the background regarding its measurement, as well as its link with the Just Energy Transition. Descriptive statistics are explored to assess the situation in the Latin American region. It is concluded that the limitations in access to basic energy services are significant, affecting more severely the population of countries with a low level of output and less socioeconomically favored.

Growth in telecom infrastructure and provision of modern telecom services to consumers at a cost based tariff helps growth of national economy. Modern telecoms serve as the engine of growth of national economy. Following the global trends of liberalisation and deregulation in telecoms monopolies which have thus far been providing inefficient communication at a greedily high tariffs are falling apart. Mergers in telecoms are not for increasing the size of the monopoly but to provide more efficient and cost effective services to the consumers. In Pakistan the erstwhile T&T department played a needful role at its time. Conversion of the department into a corporation and then into a company were steps necessary for following the global trends. Need now is to continue this trend further, eliminate the monopolistic approach by allowing more players in the field thus permitting the market forces to decide the provision of better quality of modern services at competitive price.

Abstract Today, failure analysis involving flip chip [1] with copper pillar bump packaging technologies would be the major challenges faced by analysts. Most often, handling on the chips after destructive chemical decapsulation is extremely critical as there are several failure analysis steps to be continued such as chip level fault localization, chip micro probing for fault isolation, parallel lapping [2, 3, 4] and passive voltage contrast. Therefore, quality of sample preparation is critical. This paper discussed and demonstrated a quick, reliable and cost effective methodology to decapsulate the thin small leadless (TSLP) flip chip package with copper pillar (CuP) bump interconnect technology.
