Material e Métodos: a amostra foi composta de 51 indivíduos leucodermas com oclusão normal natural, sem história de tratamento ortodôntico prévio, que apresentavam no mínimo quatro das seis chaves de oclusão de Andrews. O padrão esquelético da face foi definido por duas grandezas cefalométricas (SN.Gn e SN.GoGn). As imagens dos arcos dentais mandibulares e dos incisivos superiores geradas pela digitalização dos modelos foram avaliadas por 12 ortodontistas. Para verificar a concordância entre examinadores, quanto à classificação da morfologia do arco dental e do incisivo central, foi utilizado o teste Kappa. Para verificar a associação entre as variáveis foi utilizado o teste do quiquadrado. Resultado: a prevalência de arco dental com formato ovalar foi de 41,17%, quadrangular de 39,22%, e triangular de 19,61%. Os dentes apresentaram a seguinte prevalência: ovalar (47,06%), seguido de quadrangular (31,37%) e triangular (21,57%). Quanto ao padrão esquelético da face foi encontrado 47% de indivíduos braquifaciais, seguido de 27% de indivíduos mesofaciais e 26% de dolicofaciais. O teste do qui-quadrado não mostrou haver associação estatisticamente significante entre as variáveis estudadas. Conclusão: a referência do padrão esquelético da face na determinação da morfologia do arco dental e/ou da coroa dental não é apropriada. / Abstract: Aim: to verify the prevalence of lower arch morphology, upper central incisor shape and craniofacial pattern among young Brazilians with natural normal occlusion. The study also evaluated any association among these variables. Material and Methods: the sample consisted of 51 caucasian individuals featuring normal occlusion, with no history of previous orthodontic treatment, and matching at least four of six keys to optimal occlusion as described by Andrews. The craniofacial pattern was defined by two cephalometric measurements (SN.Gn and SN.GoGn). Lower arch and central upper incisor images were digitalized from plaster models. Twelve orthodontists evaluated every image. Agreement tests both for dental arch and upper incisor shape were performed using the Kappa method. Associations among variables were tested through the chi-square test. Results: oval dental arch form was found in 41.17% of the sample, square form in 39.22%, and triangular shape in 19.61%. Dental shape was prevalent as follows: oval (47.06%), square (31.37%) and triangular shape (21.57%). Forty-seven percent of the sample presented a brachycephalic pattern, 27% of subjects were mesocephalic, and 26% were dolicocephalic pattern. The chi-square test did not show statistically significant association among studied variables (craniofacial pattern, dental arch form and upper central incisor shape). Conclusion: the craniofacial pattern did not serve as a reference to estimate dental arch form or dental crown shape. / Doutorado / Anatomia / Doutor em Biologia Buco-Dental

A presente dissertação de mestrado trata da reflexão sobre a criação de máscaras teatrais, tendo como enfoque principal a interação corpo-objeto. Pretende-se analisar como as dimensões plásticas de tal objeto (sua concepção de tamanho, formato e cor) se caracterizam como uma poética gestual e permitem o desenvolvimento de distintas qualidades do jogo cênico. O trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre a atuação a partir das formas, ou seja, uma análise quanto à influência e à força das linhas e dos relevos sobre a arquitetura corporal e os impulsos físicos. Nesse percurso, a máscara se conecta a outras manifestações artísticas, como a dança, a pintura e a escultura, ampliando, respectivamente, as fronteiras reflexivas e as possibilidades da criação teatral. / This Master\'s thesis is about the reflection on the creation of theatrical masks with the main focus on body-object interaction. It intends to analyze how the plastic dimensions of this object (its design, size, shape, and color) can be characterized as a poetic gesture, and they allow developing distinct qualities of the scenic play. The paper presents a study on the performance beginning from forms, i.e. an analysis of the influence and significance that lines and reliefs have on the body architecture and on physical impulses. Along that line, the mask establishes a relationship to other art forms such as dance, paint, and sculpture, and it respectively widens the boundaries and possibilities of theatrical creation.

Uma das características da língua hebraica, bem como das demais línguas semíticas, é sua construção a partir de uma raiz formada, em geral, por três consoantes principais. Para formar seus textos, serão aglutinadas a estas raízes consoantes afixas (prefixos/infixos/ sufixos), com funções de pronomes, preposições, e outras. Na tentativa de alcançar satisfatoriamente nosso objetivo, o ensino do hebraico língua estrangeira, propomos a utilização de uma metodologia de ensino que facilite a memorização, a busca do sentido contextualizado e o ensino de estruturas gramaticais com o mínimo de conteúdo léxico, preparando o aprendiz para conquistá-lo em tempo oportuno. Uma das possibilidades de facilitação do ensino do léxico hebraico pode ser observada nas características desta língua, quando baseada na estrutura formal dos pronomes pessoais e alguns elementos inseridos em diversas categorias gramaticais, que nela aparecem como afixos. Esses afixos hebraicos são elementos que dão conta do direcionamento textual bem como de quase todas as ações e temporalidades verbais. A função artigo exercida por estas consoantes será o fio condutor do nosso objetivo em demonstrar a permeabilidade da língua e estimular professores e pesquisadores na busca de elementos que facilitem o aprendizado ao utilizarem os afixos como ponto de partida para o entendimento do texto hebraico, especificamente o bíblico, como língua instrumental. / One of the characteristic of Hebraic language, just like other semitic languages, is its construction from a structure composed, in general, for three main consonants. To obtain their texts there will be agglutinated affix consonants (suffix/prefix) in these radicals with functions of pronouns, prepositions, among others. Trying to get satisfactionally our objective, which is teaching of Hebraic language, we propose a method of teaching that makes easier the process of memorizing, looking for a context that make sense and the teach of grammatical structures that have the minimum of lexicon content, preparing the learner to make the most of the Hebraic language. One of the possibilities of making easier the lexicon Hebraic teaching can be observed in the characteristic of this language, based in formal structure of personal pronouns and some elements introduced in other grammatical categories, which are affixes. These Hebraic affixes are elements that give textual direction of almost all actions and verbal temporality. The article function used by these consonants will be the guide of our objective in order to show the permeability of this language and stimulate teachers and scientists to search elements that become easier the learning using affixes as beginning to understand the Hebraic text, mainly the biblical one, as instrumental language.

Como a maioria dos medicamentos disponíveis no mercado está na forma de comprimidos e cápsulas, o recurso utilizado no ambiente hospitalar para contornar as necessidades terapêuticas exclusivas de alguns pacientes é a transformação de formas farmacêuticas (TFF). A literatura apresenta poucos estudos relacionados à estabilidade das formulações produzidas através desta prática, fazendo com que ocorra a utilização empírica dessas formulações. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma formulação de suspensão de Hidroclorotiazida (HCTZ) a partir de comprimidos de diferentes origens, através de TFF, a ser manipulada em ambiente hospitalar. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma formulação proposta por TAGLIARI (2008), estabelecida para a preparação de suspensões de HCTZ a partir insumo farmacêutico ativo, a fim de se avaliar a aplicabilidade desta formulação às suspensões produzidas por TFF. A formulação proposta tem como composição do veículo suspensor: Carboximetilcelulose sódica (CMC-Na) (0,6%), Glicerina (2%), Benzoato de sódio (0,1%) ácido cítrico e água, mostrando-se estável por mais de 120 dias. Neste trabalho, assumiu-se que as preparações decorrentes da prática de TFF são consideradas preparações extemporâneas e portanto, apresentam prazo de validade de 48 horas, sendo este o período determinado para realização dos ensaios de caracterização. Foram utilizados comprimidos de 4 fabricantes diferentes, sendo que para um deles (FA) utilizou-se comprimidos de 2 dosagens, apresentando as seguintes nomenclaturas: FA1(HCTZ 25mg), FA2 (HCTZ 50mg), FB(HCTZ 25mg), FC (HCTZ 25mg) e FD (HCTZ 50mg). Foi realizada a caracterização desses comprimidos, no qual se determinou o peso médio e o teor, segundo compêndios oficiais, e após a trituração dos mesmos, verificou-se a densidade e a granulometria dos pós obtidos. Os comprimidos de FC apresentaram teor acima do preconizado pela Farmacopeia Brasileira. Porém, optou-se por mante-los no estudo, mediante a correção da quantidade de pó a ser utilizada no preparo das suspensões. As suspensões de HCTZ a 2,5mg/mL foram preparadas utilizando CMC-Na a 0,6% (p/v) como agente suspensor. As formulações produzidas foram avaliadas quanto ao volume de sedimentação e redispersibilidade. Os resultados obtidos nestes ensaios indicaram que as suspensões não apresentavam estabilidade física apropriada, sendo necessária a realização da adequação da formulação proposta. Foram preparadas então, suspensões com veículo suspensor contendo diferentes concentrações de CMC-Na (0,2%, 0,3%, 0,4%, 0,5% e 0,6%) para todos comprimidos utilizados na primeira etapa. As preparações obtidas foram analisadas quanto ao volume de sedimentação, redispersibilidade, comportamento reológico e potencial zeta. O teste de volume de sedimentação mostrou grandes diferenças em todas as suspensões estudadas, diferindo na velocidade de sedimentação e no volume de sedimento formado, sendo estes dependentes da concentração do polímero utilizada. A redispersibilidade foi estudada em dois períodos: após 2 e 7 dias de repouso, sendo semelhantes os resultados encontrados nos dois períodos. Neste teste, os resultados apontaram grandes diferenças na redispersão das formulações, indicando que quanto maior concentração do polímero, mais tempo a preparação levou para ficar homogênea. Na análise do comportamento reológico, todas as formulações estudadas apresentaram fluxo não-newtoniano pseudoplástico, mostrando-se dependente da concentração do polímero utilizada. O potencial zeta obtido nestas preparações indicou a que as suspensões apresentaram-se floculadas. As diferenças apresentadas nos testes realizados indicaram que os diferentes excipientes presentes nas formulações dos comprimidos utilizados, interferiram na estabilidade física das preparações, não sendo possível estabelecer uma formulação a ser utilizada para todos os comprimidos, numa preparação obtida por TFF. Diante disso, foi eleita a formulação de melhor estabilidade física para cada comprimido estudado, e procedeu-se a analise do teor destas formulações. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia analítica farmacopeica, que demonstrou ser especifica, linear, exata, precisa e robusta, dentro das condições experimentais estudadas. As formulações produzidas a partir de TFF apresentaram teor dentro do critério de aceitação proposto / The liquid dosage forms are suitable for use in children and in patients who can’t swallow pills, because it have greater flexibility in dose adjustment and ease the administration of medicines. Like most drugs on the market is in the form of tablets and capsules, the resource used in hospitals to circumvent the unique therapeutic needs of some patients is the transformation of pharmaceutical forms (TPF). The literature contains few studies related to the stability of the formulations produced by this practice, allowing it to empirical use of these formulations. This study aimed to develop a suspension formulation of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) from tablets of different sources through TPF, to be manipulated in a hospital environment. For this purpose, we used a formulation proposed by Tagliari (2008), established for the preparation of suspensions of HCTZ from active pharmaceutical ingredient, in order to evaluate the applicability of this formulation produced by TFF. The proposed formulation has the composition of the vehicle hanger: sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) (0.6%), glycerin (2%), sodium benzoate (0.1%) citric acid and water, being stable for more of 120 days. In this work, it was assumed that the preparations from the practice of TFF preparations are considered untimely and therefore have shelf life of 48 hours, this being the period of time to achieve the characterization tests. The tablets were used from four different manufacturers, and for one (FA) was used two doses of pills, with the following classifications: FA1 (HCTZ 25 mg), FA2 (HCTZ 50 mg), FB (HCTZ 25 mg), FC (HCTZ 25mg) and FD (HCTZ 50 mg). We performed the characterization of these tablets, which determined the weight and content, according to official compendia, and after grinding the same, there was the density and particle size of powders obtained. FC tablets showed above the level recommended by the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia. However, it was decided to keep them in the study, by correction of the amount of powder to be used in the preparation of suspensions. Suspensions of HCTZ to 2.5 mg/mL were prepared using CMC-Na 0.6% (w/v) as an agent hanger. The formulations produced were evaluated for the amount of sedimentation and redispersibilidade. The results from these tests indicated that the suspensions had no proper physical stability, being necessary to perform the suitability of the proposed formulation. Were then prepared, with vehicle suspensions suspensor containing different concentrations of CMC-Na (0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5% and 0.6%) for all tablets used in the first step. The preparations obtained were analyzed for the amount of sedimentation, redispersibilidade, zeta potential and rheological behavior. The sedimentation volume test showed significant differences in all the suspensions studied, differing in sedimentation rate and volume of sediment formed, which are dependent on the concentration of the polymer used. The redispersibilidade was studied in two periods: after 2 and 7 days of rest, the results were similar in both periods. In this test, the results showed great differences in the redispersion of the formulations, indicating that the higher concentration of the polymer, the preparation took more time to be homogeneous. In the analysis of rheological behavior, all the formulations studied showed non-Newtonian pseudoplastic flow, being dependent on the concentration of the polymer used. The zeta potential obtained in these preparations indicated that the suspensions had to flocculate. The differences in the tests indicated that the different excipients present in formulations of tablets used, influenced the physical stability of the preparations, it is not possible to establish a formulation to be used for all tablets, a preparation obtained by TPF. Thereat, the better physical stability for each formulation studied was elected, and we proceeded to analyze the content of these formulations. For this purpose, we used the analytical methodology pharmacopoeia, which proved to be specific, linear, accurate, precise and robust, within the experimental conditions studied. The formulations produced from TPF content presented within the proposed acceptance criterion

Isto se deve ao enfoque probabilístico inerente ao estudo da confiabilidade, pois a violação de determinado estado limite é quantificada através da chamada probabilidade de falha. Desta forma, trata-se de uma importante ferramenta a qual engenheiros podem fazer uso na avaliação da segurança de estruturas, uma vez que parte do empirismo e das incertezas das quais se revestem as variáveis de projeto, sobretudo as ações, podem ser minimizadas. A análise estrutural busca determinar o comportamento da estrutura quando submetida a ações externas podendo a mesma apresentar um comportamento linear ou não-linear. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é estabelecer uma metodologia para cálculo da probabilidade de falha em pórticos planos e dimensioná-los, visando atender um nível de segurança pré-determinado. Na análise estrutural dos pórticos planos é considerada a não-linearidade geométrica. A análise de confiabilidade é efetuada por meio do método analítico FORM (First Order Releability Methods). A função de falha adotada baseia-se em termos de carga. Para proceder o referido dimensionamento é utilizado um sistema computacional que integra a análise estrutural não-linear com as ferramentas para análise de confiabilidade descritas acima.

Digital Mechanics is a company in Västerås manufacturing mainlyprototypes for it customers. To do this they use a number of free formingmachines. The building time of these machines differ very much from theestimated time required to build a job and this effects the efficiency of theproduction. The work presented in this paper is mainly about designing andconstructing a monitoring application for the machines at DigitalMechanics. The application will be used for alerting the operators when amachine is not building and preempt machines stopping because they runout of material to increase quality and efficiency in the production. Thesystem may also be used as the core of a future, more advanced, monitoringsystem.The thesis also included a study about how the estimation of the timerequired by the machines to build a job could be enhanced.Because of the nature of the business at Digital Mechanics theimprovement of quality and efficiency deriving from this monitoringapplication is difficult to measure, but the machine operators claim they areassisted by it.

This study investigated predictor variables of the Counselor Rating Form dimensions of expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness using the predicted variable of therapy outcome, measured by Goal Attainment Scaling and postcounseling scores on the Counselor Rating Form. One hundred-fifteen mental health center outpatients agreed to participate. Forty subjects (25 females and 15 males) met all criteria and were labeled "completors." An additional 30 subjects, labeled "dropouts," enrolled but did not meet criteria. These subjects' data were considered in a separate analysis for prediction of treatment continuation. All subjects rated their own need for therapy before their initial interview. After the initial and final interviews, both the subject and the counselor completed the Counselor Rating Form, rating their perceptions of the counselor1s behavior during that session. The Goal Attainment Scaling was used to generate both pre- and postcounseling outcome scores on each subject's individual, personalized goals.

L’étude sur le documentaire a suscité ces dernières années de nombreuses approches : historique, rhétorique, pragmatique, stylistique. Celles-ci posent la question de la réalité dans le film ou dans la photographie, problématique récurrente du documentaire. C’est à nouveau cette interrogation qui sera abordée dans cette recherche. La perspective envisagée a l’ambition de synthétiser toutes ces approches en remontant à l’origine de la photographie, au dix-neuvième siècle, et en faisant valoir sa spécificité d’image. Un parcours photographique est proposé montrant en quoi l’image photographique a pu bouleverser notre rapport à la réalité. Cette ambition synthétique a trouvé son fondement dans un concept original initié par le philosophe allemand Ernst Cassirer : la forme symbolique. Il s’agit d’une logique culturelle qui propose de se placer au cœur de nos réalités et d’analyser les principes qui les gouvernent. Le point d’ancrage d’une telle philosophie repose sur la culture comprise comme une réalité relative. Dans cette perspective, l’image photographique en tant que documentaire est considéré comme un lieu donnant à penser une réalité ? Comment ? Cette recherche nous amène à envisagé trois moments pour l’élaboration de cette forme symbolique particulière : 1) l’invention d’une image-monde que l’image photographique a suscité ; 2) la survivance des réalités contenues et transformées dans cette image-monde ; 3) la création d’un lieu de mémoire par la constitution d’un patrimoine photographique. / The study of documentary has called for numerous approaches these past few years: historical, rhetorical, pragmatic, stylistic. These approaches question the reality in film or photography, the recurring problem of the documentary. And this question will be tackled again in this research. The intention of the outlined perspective is to integrate all these approaches by retracing the steps to the origins of photography, in the nineteenth century, and by asserting its specificity of image. A photographic journey is proposed showing how the photographic image was able to change drastically our relationship with reality. This synthetic ambition was inspired by an original concept initiated by the German philosopher Ernst Cassirer: the symbolic form. It is based on a cultural logic which suggests going to the heart of our realities and analyzing the principles which govern them. The core of such a philosophy lies in a culture contained as a relat! ive reality. In this light, is the photographic image as documentary considered as a place giving reality to thought? How? This research allows us to imagine three moments in the development of this specific symbolic form: 1) the invention of an image-world invoked by the photographic image; 2) the survival of the realities contained and transformed in this image-world; 3) the creation of a place of reference for an assembled photographic heritage.

Abstract The focus of this thesis is on perceivable interaction forms that can be utilised in multi-player computer games and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). Interaction forms are manifestations of user-user and user-environment interaction. These forms convey the actions of the user to others, and to oneself, during synchronous communication and interaction partially resembling face-to-face encounters in the physical world. The communication, co-ordination and collaboration difficulties in current 3D CVEs have yet to be overcome. The aim of this thesis is to conceptualise and delineate the available mutually perceivable interaction forms. The research analyses entertainment industry solutions and examines their potential as providers of design implications for CVE systems in general. Furthermore, games are used as platforms in the construction phases of the research. The research answers the problems of what interaction forms exist in multi-player games and what are their main characteristics and how to apply the understanding of possible interaction forms in order to help the design of games and professionally used CVEs? The problems are approached with conceptual analytical and constructive methods. Delineation and categorisation of various interaction forms in games and CVEs is presented. The gap between theoretical models and practical design is bridged by using several empirical cases as a constructive part of the research. The significance of this research is related to the increasingly important role of CVEs in global organisations and virtual enterprises, as well as in the everyday life of people. The communicational and functional enhancements of the virtual environments and multi-player games make the interpersonal interaction more usable and applicable in computer mediated settings. The research provides a deeper understanding of the concept of interaction forms in the context of CVEs and multi-player games. The results can be used to create more supportive, appealing and communicative applications by applying interaction models and theories in the form of rich interaction design guidelines. The main contributions of this research are the conceptual models of interaction forms and corresponding rich interaction design suggestions. The results reveal important and neglected aspects of interaction forms to the world of game and virtual environment designers. Combined with the descriptions of interaction design processes the overall outcome of the work is applicable to a wide audience designing or using computer systems that support communication, co-ordination and collaboration.

Symphony No. 1 "Concertante" is a work of approximately twenty-two minutes duration for chamber orchestra. The work is scored for flute (doubling piccolo), oboe (doubling English horn), B-flat clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, F horn, trombone, tuba, percussion, harp, piano (doubling celesta), solo violin, solo viola, solo cello, solo double bass, and strings.The percussion battery, which is to be played by one performer, includes three timpani, vibraphone, orchestra bells, xylophone, chimes, suspended cymbal, bass drum, snare drum, and two triangles. One group of instruments, including the eight winds, percussion, and the four solo strings, is treated primarily in a soloistic manner although it also functions as a part of the ensemble. The remaining group, piano, harp, and strings, functions primarily as an accompanying group although it does get some soloistic treatment. The work is in four movements, each of which uses the traditional symphonic form. Movement I is in sonata-allegro form, movement II a simple ternary "song" form, movement III a scherzo and trio, and the final movement is a theme and variations. These traditional forms apply only to thematic use and development, however, for the tonal scheme is developed in a broader design which unfolds throughout the course of the four movements. All important melodic ideas are based on the same pitch set that serves as the basis for the tonal scheme.
