This theoretical paper discusses swearwords. It is based on the data drawn from the wide literature of swearing and taboo language. A sociolinguistic approach was adopted to discuss and analyze various aspects of swearing. This paper aims to identify the nature, types, motives, and functions of swear words. Based on the analysis, this study concluded that there are several and different classification systems of ‘bad language’ and ‘swear words’ and that is due to the fact that the value of ‘badness’ in all languages are constantly changing.

Studies show that Brazil is a world champion in the use of agrochemicals, with 7.3 liters per year for each of the country's inhabitants. Only in the first three months of 2019, the Brazilian government released 121 new pesticides to be sold, totalizing 2,184 licensed products in the country. This work aims to discuss the permissive use of agrochemicals in Brazil and to point out the consequences generated for the ecosystems involved.

This study aimed to verify a theoretical model in which the subjective well-being construct explains self-esteem and depression in non-clinical Brazilian youth. A sample of 1864 subjects (men and women) aged 12 to 20 years of elementary or higher education from public institutions, in addition to socio-demographic data, responded to the subjective well-being inventory, the self-esteem scale and the depression inventory.

The present work analyzed the pedagogical practice of the university professor, focusing his initial and continued formation in the educational practice as well as to reflect the construction of this practice seeking a relation with the knowledge necessary for a teaching performance. We know that with so many technological advances, we see the need to adapt the professional from the higher level to the everyday life of a globalized society. It was a research of qualitative nature, important references were used to reach the objectives proposed in the work.

The present study aims to analyze and describe scientific publications on the functional capacity and Instruments for assessing elderly people accompanied by the family health strategy. Searches were not limited by date of publication or any other restrictions.

Mortar coatings, whether on an internal or external surface, are of great importance for the longevity of the work because they are directly exposed to adverse situations, such as: rainfall, temperature variation, trepidation, soil movement, among others, and must resist all without cracks and cracks, which can lead to infiltrations causing their performance to be compromised. In view of the above, we seek new mixtures and materials that improve the properties of the mortar coating and that may restrain future pathological manifestations.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate an algorithm for enriching the thermodilution signal. The method proposed presents an improvement of previous works in the literature in terms of precision, convergence and computational effort. The algorithm proposed is a deconvolution method that works without the need for precise knowledge of the transfer function of the temperature sensor in the Swan-Ganz catheter.

To become more competitive, meet the demands and requirements of the market, reducing waste and rework, increasingly, companies and their managers are looking for systems management. With the main objective to investigate general elements, involving the implementation and performance of the tools of quality management, applied in food industries, a literature search was performed providing understand aspects of the management of production and quality management, relevant research and on the top seven quality tools.

The main objective of study is to present a summary to the best practical applications and recent investigation results on how to reduce environmental effect of carbon dioxide emissions CO2 in flexibly pavement materials, including extraction of virgin materials, heating material, hauling of materials from quarry to the asphalt plant and then to paving place, mix design. Another production techniques for the manufacturing of modified mixes such as warm mix asphalt (WMA), cold mix asphalt (CMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes are included in this summary.

This manuscript briefly discusses some aspects related to the categories of solid waste collectors, as well as the health and local development where they reside. The aim of this manuscript is to find out how these three categories are articulated in a given social space. For this purpose the Dom Antônio Barbosa neighborhood was chosen, located in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A bibliographical research, field work and interviews were carried out to reach the proposed objectives.
