Atualmente na odontologia ainda há muita dificuldade na compreensão do movimento de Bennett ou laterotrusão. Devido a questões de inviolabilidade inerentes à característica da articulação temporomandibular não é possível observar diretamente o seu interior, de maneira que a análise da sua dinâmica durante a função torna-se questionável. Assim, o autor trabalhou com imagens e inferências aplicadas numa metodologia utilizada para tal fim. A proposta dessa pesquisa foi a de analisar o comportamento condilar durante os movimentos de lateralidade Centrífuga e de Bennett em pacientes portadores de prótese total. Vinte e dois indivíduos receberam novas próteses totais. O registro maxilomandibular foi realizado com a técnica de Gysi com a plataforma e pua extraoral. Utilizando-se uma pua modificada de forma que esta realizasse dois registros (pua dupla) com o mesmo movimento e, ao invés da cera aplicada sobre a plataforma, o registro foi feito sobre um fino papel carbono aderido a esta com uma fita adesiva dupla face. Através de imagens digitalizadas do articulador e dos registros no carbono foi possível, com a utilização de um programa de tratamento de imagens, arbitrar e testar a posição do eixo vertical de rotação condilar durante a lateralidade centrífuga e de Bennett. Os resultados mostraram uma predominância nos eventos onde o eixo vertical do côndilo posicionou-se na região ântero-lateral e póstero-medial durante a lateralidade de Bennett, porém mostrou uma predominância de eventos localizados na região póstero-medial durante a lateralidade Centrífuga. Houve casos onde o eixo vertical localizou-se exatamente sobre o centro da esfera, o que indica que o paciente durante a lateralidade não promoveu excursão do côndilo de trabalho, realizando um movimento de rotação puro se analisado no plano horizontal. De acordo com a metodologia aplicada nessa pesquisa concluiu-se que o eixo da lateralidade Centrífuga é mais medial que o da lateralidade de Bennett e que a maior parte dos eixos não coincide com aquele sobre o centro da esfera condilar. / It has been controversial the understanding of both the Bennett’s side shift and Centrifuge lateral movements. Had the inherent questions of TMJ´s inviolability it is not possible to observe its interior directly, thus the analysis of its dynamics during the function becomes questionable. The author worked with images and inferences applied to a methodology used for such end. The proposal of this research was to analyze the behavior of jaw condyle Bennett’s side shift and Centrifuge lateral movements in complete denture wearers. Twenty two subjects had new dentures constructed. The mandible tracings were made using the technique of Gysi with an extra oral device with two registration markers. Instead of wax it was applied a fine articulating paper adhered to the platform by a double face adhesive ribbon. Digitalized images from articulator and from articulating papers were set together. It was used a software of treatment of images both to decide and to test the position of the vertical axle of rotation of the jaw during the Bennett’s side shift and during Centrifuge lateral movement. The results were a predominance of the events where the vertical axis were located in the backward medial region for the centrifuge lateral movement and were located both in the backward medial and in the forward lateral region for the Bennett’s side shift. It had cases where the vertical axle was situated accurately on the center of the condyle sphere, what is supposed to mean that the patient, during the lateral jaw movement did not promote excursion of the working side condyle. In accordance with the methodology applied in this research, the author concluded that the axis of the centrifuge lateral movement is more medial than the one of the Bennett’s side shift, and that in the great majority of the events the axis did not met the condyle sphere of the articulator.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar características oclusais e miofuncionais orais em crianças entre 3 e 5 anos de idade, com mordida aberta anterior e também verificar o comportamento dessas características após remoção do hábito de sucção de chupeta. Participaram 69 crianças, 34 com oclusão normal (Grupo Controle) e 35 com mordida aberta anterior (Grupo Mordida Aberta). No Grupo Mordida Aberta, a média da mordida aberta anterior foi 2,96 mm, da sobressaliência foi 4,1 mm e da distância intercanina superior foi 28,7 mm. No Grupo Controle, a média da sobressaliência foi 2,6 mm e a da distância intercanina superior foi 30,3 mm. A média da sobressaliência foi maior (p=0,001) e a média da distância intercanina superior foi menor (p<0,001) no Grupo Mordida Aberta que no Controle. O número de crianças com relação canina classe II foi maior no Grupo Mordida Aberta que no Controle (p<0,001). A análise de regressão logística univariada mostrou que maior sobressaliência, menor distância intercanina superior e relação canina classe II coexistiram com a mordida aberta anterior. No Grupo Mordida Aberta, o número de crianças com postura de lábios entreabertos em repouso (60,0%), alteração no tônus labial (68,6%), postura inadequada de língua em repouso (65,7%), alteração no tônus de bochechas (42,9%), interposição lingual anterior durante a deglutição (91,4%) e interposição lingual anterior durante a fala (85,7%) foi maior (p<0,05) que no Grupo Controle (respectivamente 35,3%, 35,3%, 23,6%, 17,7%, 32,4% e 38,2%). A análise de regressão logística múltipla identificou a interposição lingual anterior durante a deglutição (odds ratio 18,97) e durante a fala (odds ratio 9,24) bem como a postura de lábios entreabertos em repouso (odds ratio 6,23) como as principais características miofuncionais orais nas crianças com mordida aberta anterior. Das 35 crianças do Grupo Mordida Aberta, 27 apresentavam hábito de sucção de chupeta ao início do estudo e, após orientação, 15 abandonaram o hábito e 12 diminuíram a freqüência do hábito. Observou-se que a taxa de sucesso na remoção do hábito foi 55,6%, sem diferença entre gêneros e idades. A remoção do hábito favoreceu, após 3 meses de acompanhamento, redução média da mordida aberta anterior de 1,97 mm, sendo maior (p<0,001) que nas crianças que diminuíram o hábito (0,33 mm). A média da redução da sobressaliência nas crianças que abandonaram o hábito foi 0,6 mm e a média do aumento da distância intercanina superior foi 0,67 mm, mas não foram estatisticamente diferentes das crianças que diminuíram o hábito (respectivamente 0,0 mm e 0,50 mm) nem do Controle (respectivamente 0,2 mm e 0,42 mm). A remoção do hábito de sucção de chupeta promoveu melhora na postura de lábios em repouso (p=0,0313), favoreceu a respiração nasal (p=0,0078) e reduziu a ocorrência de interposição lingual anterior durante a deglutição (p=0,0078), após 3 meses de acompanhamento. A análise de regressão logística univariada identificou a postura de língua inadequada em repouso, como a principal característica miofuncional oral capaz de impedir a correção espontânea da mordida aberta anterior nas crianças avaliadas durante esse período (odds ratio 17,50) / The aim of this study was to evaluate occlusal and oral myofunctional characteristics in children between 3 and 5 years old, with anterior open bite and also to verify the behavior of these characteristics, 3 months after removal of pacifier sucking habit. Sixty nine children participated, 34 presented normal occlusion (Control Group) and 35 presented anterior open bite (Open Bite Group). In the Open Bite Group, the mean anterior open bite was 2.96 mm, the mean overject was 4.1 mm and the mean upper intercanine distance was 28.7 mm. In the Control Group, the mean overject was 2.6 mm and the upper intercanine distance was 30.3 mm. The mean overject was larger (p=0.001) and the mean upper intercanine distance was smaller (p<0.001) in the Open Bite Group than in the Control Group. The number of children with canine class II relationship was larger in the Open Bite than in the Control Group (p<0.001). Simple logistic regression analysis showed that larger overject, smaller upper intercanine distance and class II canine relationship coexisted with anterior open bite. In the Open Bite Group, the number of children with incompetent lips at rest (60.0%), inadequate labial tonus (68.6%), inadequate posture of tongue at rest (65.7%), inadequate cheeks tonus (42.9%), tongue thrust during swallow (91.4%) and tongue thrust during speech (85.7%) was larger (p<0.05) that in the Control Group (respectively 35.3%, 35.3%, 23.6%, 17.7%, 32.4% and 38.2%). Multiple logistic regression analysis identified tongue thrust during swallow (odds ratio 18.97) and during speech (odds ratio 9.24) as well as incompetent lips at rest (odds ratio 6.23) as the main oral myofunctional characteristics in children with anterior open bite. Of the 35 children in the Open Bite Group, 27 presented pacifier sucking habit at the beginning of the study and after instruction, 15 abandoned the habit and 12 reduced the frequency of the habit. It was observed that the success rate for habit removal was 55.6%, without difference related to sex and age. The habit removal favored, after 3 months of attendance, 1.97 mm mean reduction of anterior open bite, being larger (p<0.001) compared with those children that reduced the habit (0.33 mm). The mean reduction of the overject in children that abandoned the habit was 0.6 mm and the mean increase of the upper intercanine distance was 0.67 mm, but were not statistically different from the children that reduced the habit (respectively 0.0 mm and 0.50 mm) nor from the Control (respectively 0.2 mm and 0.42 mm). The removal of the pacifier sucking habit promoted improvement in the posture of lips at rest (p=0.0313), favored the nasal respiration (p=0.0078) and reduced the occurrence of tongue thrust during swallow (p=0.0078) after 3 months of attendance. Simple logistic regression analysis identified the inadequate posture of the tongue at rest, as the main oral myofunctional characteristic capable to prevent the spontaneous correction of the anterior bite in the appraised children during that period (odds ratio 17.50)

This thesis offers a comprehensive view of coffee trading on commodity markets. To describe the behavior of prices and their volatility, ARCH and GARCH models are used. These models analyse coffee prices of selected regions in Ethiopia, the birth place of coffee. The thesis connects the characteristics of soft commodity with current knowledge of financial econometrics. It also describes the effects of changes in exchange rates and oil prices on the price of coffee. Price volatility is examined with regard to deregulation and reforms on this market within the last three decades. Developments in the developing world caused a significant need for the progression and identification with the hedging instruments. These are closely linked to the globalized market with coffee, so it is conversely possible to absorb the shocks on small growers, who are significantly impacted by the globalized world.

Entretanto, até o presente momento, os estudos se restringiram a correlacionar a morfologia da EA com perdas dentárias e má-oclusões. Neste contexto, torna-se importante a realização de estudos que estabeleçam uma possível correlação entre a morfologia dos arcos dentais e da EA em pacientes que não apresentem alterações oclusais ou ausências dentárias. O objetivo no presente estudo foi avaliar a correlação entre a morfologia do arco dental e da EA por meio de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC). Foram utilizadas imagens de 60 pacientes, sem ausências dentárias ou alterações oclusais, e que apresentassem Classe I de Angle. As imagens foram avaliadas por três especialistas em Radiologia Odontológica, instruídos a realizar mensurações da altura (EAh) e inclinação da EA (ângulos 'alfa' e 'beta'), nas regiões centrais, laterais e médias, e inclinação da parede lateral da fossa mandibular (ângulo 'sigma'). Foram avaliadas as medidas da largura, profundidade e perímetro dos arcos dentários superior e inferior. Posteriormente, os arcos foram classificados quanto às formas cônica, quadrangular e ovoide. Após 30 dias 10% da amostra foi reavaliada, para cálculo do índice de correlação intraclasse (ICC). Foram obtidas as médias e desvio-padrão das mensurações realizadas na EA e nos arcos dentais, em cada uma das formas encontradas, que foram comparadas por meio da análise de variância (ANOVA) um fator e teste de 'Tukey'. Para verificar a correlação entre os arcos e a EA foi calculado o coeficiente de Correlação de Pearson. A influência das medidas dos arcos nas medidas da EA foi determinada por meio de regressão linear. O nível de significância foi de 5%. O ICC variou de satisfatório a excelente. Para a EA, o ângulo 'beta' na forma ovoide foi diferente no corte central do lado direito e em todos os cortes do lado esquerdo. O ângulo 'alfa', também na forma ovoide, diferiu no corte central direito e lateral esquerdo. E o ângulo 'sigma' no corte central esquerdo entre as formas quadrangular e ovoide. Na forma cônica observaram-se o maior número de correlações, seguida das formas ovoide e quadrangular. A altura da EA foi a característica mais correlacionada às medidas dos arcos. Os perímetros dos arcos superiores e inferiores influenciaram a altura da EA no lado esquerdo. No arco inferior, IC influenciou 'alfa' e 'beta' dos lados direito e esquerdo, IL influenciou 'alfa' do lado direito, 2PM influenciou 'alfa' do lado esquerdo e 'beta' dos lados direito e esquerdo, e 1M influenciou 'alfa' do lado direito. No arco superior, IC influenciou a altura da EA do lado esquerdo. Pode-se concluir que houve correlação entre as diferentes características dos arcos dentais com a morfologia da eminência articular. A forma cônica apresentou maior número de correlações e, portanto, modificações nas características dos arcos cônicos podem representar maior potencial em gerar alterações morfológicas na eminência articular / Abstract: The dental features can directly influence in determining the morphology of the articular eminence (EA). However, to date, the studies have been restricted to correlate EA morphology with dental losses and malocclusions. In this context, it is important to conduct studies to establish a possible correlation between the dental arches and EA morphology in patients with no occlusal alterations or missing teeth. The aim in this study was to evaluate the correlation between dental arch and articular eminence (AE) morphology by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Three dental radiologists analyzed images from 60 patients without dental absences neither occlusal alterations, and classified as Class I of Angle. The images were evaluated by three oral radiologists, and the height (AEh), the slope of AE ('alpha' e 'beta' angles), at central, lateral and medial positions, and lateral inclination ('sigma' angle) of mandibular fossae were measured. The measures of width, depth and perimeter of maxillary and mandibular arches were evaluated. Then, the arches were subjectively classified according to tapered, squared and ovoid shapes. After 30 days, 10% of the sample was reevaluated. Mean and standard deviation of the measures in AE and dental arches were obtained in each shape, and compared by ANOVA (one way) and "Tukey" test. To verify the correlation between arches and AE, the Pearson Correlation coefficient was calculated. The influence of arches' measures on AE's measures was determined by linear regression. The level of significance was 5%. For dental arches, the measures of depth and perimeter of square arches were different from the other shapes, in both arches. The measures CI and 2PM were different on upper and lower arches, respectively, between the tapered and square shapes. For the AE, the 'beta' angle on the ovoid shape was different on central slice on the right side and on all slices on the left side. The 'alpha' angle, also on the ovoid shape, differed on central right slice and lateral left. And the 'sigma' angle on central left slice between square and ovoid shapes. In general, the measures in men were higher than in women, but only the 'beta' angle on medial right slice, the measures C, 2PM, 1M and perimeter from upper arch, and 1PM and PM from lower arch, showed significant differences. On the tapered shape, there was the highest number of correlations, followed by ovoid and square shapes. The height of AE was the most correlated feature to the measures of the arches. The perimeter of the upper and lower arches influenced on the height of the AE on the left side. On lower arch, CI influenced 'alpha' and 'beta' on both sides, IL influenced 'alpha' on the right side, 2PM influenced 'alfa' on the left side and 'beta' on both sides, and 1M influenced 'beta' on the right side. On the upper arch, CI influenced the height of the AE on the left side. It can be concluded that there was correlation between the different features of the dental arches with the AE morphology. The tapered shape showed a higher number of correlations and, therefore, changing in the features of the tapered arches may represent greater potential in generating morphological changes in the AE / Doutorado / Radiologia Odontologica / Doutora em Radiologia Odontológica

Os pés representam a base de suporte do ser humano e a projeção do centro de massa dentro dela faz com que o indivíduo permaneça em equilíbrio. Alterações na base são responsáveis pela perda da instabilidade e podem ser a causa de quedas, principalmente em idosos. Portanto, verificar a relação entre o pé e o equilíbrio em idosos é de fundamental importância não apenas para compreender a natureza dessa relação, mas também para facilitar, a partir disso, suas atividades diárias como, por exemplo, sentar-se, andar e ficar em pé. Como há indicativos na literatura de que o índice de massa corporal e a prática de atividade física podem estar ligadas à manutenção do equilíbrio, torna-se necessário verificar a influência dessas variáveis nessa relação. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação entre a estrutura do pé (mais precisamente o arco longitudinal medial) e o equilíbrio em idosos praticantes e não praticantes de futsal. Foram avaliados 28 idosos do sexo masculino através da mensuração do índice do arco, da aplicação do teste de equilíbrio (POMA) e do questionário de Baecke modificado para idosos. Os resultados mostraram que não houve correlação significante entre as variáveis pé e equilíbrio tanto em diferentes tipos de IMC quanto em idosos praticantes e não praticantes de futsal. Todos os idosos apresentaram pontuação alta no POMA (entre 23 e 28 pontos), fato que demonstra “efeito teto” na população estudada. De um modo geral pode-se dizer que não houve relação entre pé e equilíbrio na população estudada. / The feet represent the base of support in the human beings and the center of mass projection on this base makes the individual balance. Any modification in the base of support is responsible for the lost the stability causing falls, particularly in older people. Therefore, the relationship between foot and balance in older people is important not only to understand the relationship nature but also to help daily activities such as sitting, walking and standing. Since the literature indicates that the body mass índex and the practice of physical atcivity can influence the balance, it is necessary to examine the influence in this relationship. The purpose of this study is verifying the relationship between foot (mainly the arch) and balance in older people who practices futsal or not. In this study, 28 male older people were assessed by using the arch índex and a balance test (POMA), and the Baecke questionnaire on habitual physical activity for elderly. The results show that there was not a significant correlantion between arch index and balance in differents types of BMI among older people who practices futsal or not. All volunteers show high pontuation in POMA (23 and 28 points) demonstrating ceiling effect. In conclusion there was not a relationship between foot structure and balance in this population.

The subject of this master’s thesis is to design an arch structure of a footbridge. The bridge deck will be formed by a stress ribbon and could be divided into three parts. The middle part will be suspended (on the outer edges) on composite steel and concrete arches. Outer parts of the bridge deck will be formed by stress ribbons. The model of this construction is created in a computational program ANSYS and the solution is non-linear. The design is according to European standards.

The diploma thesis deals with design of plan – curved footbridge over Berounka river near the town of Čivice. Three different options were developed. First option includes a single – beam prestressed integral construction with haunches. The second option includes suspension footbridge construction, where the bridge deck is suspended at one side. In the third option the main span is built from concrete segments. Those are suspended on a pair of steel arches. The access ramps are cast – in – place, and they are supported by round steel piers. This variant was finally chosen as the best one and it was further processed. The construction was analyzed with Scia Engineer 2015 software, considering the construction process. The footbridge was loaded with dead loads and live loads including traffic and thermal actions. The internal forces were calculated and the construction was assess to the serviceability and ultimate limit states. In terms of serviceability, stress in concrete sections and deformations were checked. In terms of the ultimate limit state, the ultimate load capacities were calculated. The steel arches and piers were checked for possibility of loss of stability by buckling. The loss of stability was also checked by the software. Finally the dynamic behaviour of the construction was assessed, especially the harmonic excitation response. Then the construction plan and the drawings were made. The drawings include overview drawings and detailed drawings.

The diploma thesis describes the design and assessment of steel footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists across the river Svratka in Brno. As the main material of structural elements was used steel S355. In the beginning is deal with two variants of structural system, which are compared with each other and the better variant is chosen. The main structural system of chosen variant consist of two parabolic arches bend down to each other on which is suspended by suspenders intermediate deck. The deck consist of two steel beams with floor beams and composite cencrete slab. The span length is 50 m.

This thesis aims to construct an optimal portfolio and model as well as forecast its volatility. The performance of the optimal portfolio is then compared to two benchmarks, namely, an equally weighted portfolio and the market index SP 500. The volatility is estimated by employing two GARCH-type models known as standard GARCH, and GJR-GARCH. The GJR-GARCH outperformed its counterpart in terms of Log-likelihood, AIC, and BIC. The forecast performance is compared based on two statistical errors, root mean squared error, and mean absolute error. The optimal portfolio outperformed its counterparts in both statistical errors. Moreover, standard GARCH gave lower statistics than GJR-GARCH. These empirical results are of important significance to portfolio management and risk management processes.
