Background: Compression Tissue Flossing (CTF) is getting more and more popular. However, it is still unclear about the usability and function of CTF. Objective: The main objective was to investigate the current evidence on the function and usability of CTF by doing a systematic review. Methods: A PRISMA checklist was used to write this systematic review. Inclusion criteria; studies that examined CTF and its different effects published 2013-2021. The exclusion criteria were studies that were not published in English. The information sources used in this systematic review was done on PubMed and EBSCO (MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus) and as hand research. The methodological quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale and the AMSTAR. The method used to present the results is by organized tables where the study results are shown.   Results: A total of 25 articles was included in the review. A total of 509 participants (mean age 22,6) was included. The average physiotherapy database score was 56% (range= 18,1%-81,8%). 15 studies were considered as high quality, 10 as low quality. Compression Tissue Flossing showed many different significant effects as increased range of motion, countermovement jump, rate of force development, increased torque, jump height, jump velocity, reduced muscle contraction time, and perception of flexibility. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that compression tissue flossing has a good potential to be used in different contexts of sports performance/medicine. More studies are needed to validate the use of different floss bands and use them in bigger epidemiological settings as it right now seems to lack in its consistency depending on the pressure and application.

O CoGrOO é um corretor gramatical de código aberto em uso por milhares de usuários de uma popular suíte de escritório de código aberto. Ele é capaz de identificar erros como: colocação pronominal, concordância nominal, concordância sujeito-verbo, uso da crase, concordância nominal e verbal e outros erros comuns de escrita em Português do Brasil. Para tal, o CoGrOO realiza uma análise híbrida: inicialmente o texto é anotado usando técnicas estatísticas de Processamento de Linguagens Naturais e, em seguida, um sistema baseado em regras é responsável por identificar os possíveis erros gramaticais. O objetivo deste trabalho é reduzir a quantidade de omissões e intervenções indevidas e, ao mesmo tempo, aumentar a quantidade de verdadeiros positivos sem, entretanto, adicionar novas regras de detecção de erros. A última avaliação científica do corretor gramatical foi realizada em 2006 e, desde então, não foram realizados estudos detalhados quanto ao seu desempenho, apesar de o código do sistema ter passado por substancial evolução. Este trabalho contribuirá com uma detalhada avaliação dos anotadores estatísticos e os resultados serão comparados com o estado da arte. Uma vez que os anotadores do CoGrOO estão disponíveis como software livre, melhorias nesses módulos gerarão boas alternativas a sistemas proprietários. / CoGrOO is an open source Brazilian Portuguese grammar checker currently used by thousands of users of a popular open source office suite. It is capable of identifying Brazilian Portuguese mistakes such as pronoun placement, noun agreement, subject-verb agreement, usage of the accent stress marker, subject-verb agreement, and other common errors of Brazilian Portuguese writing. To accomplish this, it performs a hybrid analysis; initially it annotates the text using statistical Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, and then a rule-based check is performed to identify possible grammar errors. The goal of this work is to reduce omissions and false alarms while improving true positives without adding new error rules. The last rigorous evaluation of the grammar checker was done in 2006 and since then there has been no detailed study on how it has been performing. This work will also contribute a detailed evaluation of low-level NLP modules and the results will be compared to state-of-the-art results. Since the low-level NLP modules are available as open source software, improvements on their performance will make them robust, free and ready-to-use alternatives for other systems.

Se situant dans le champ de la stratégie, cette thèse souhaite contribuer à l’aide à la réflexion stratégique des entreprises du FLOSS commercial. Cet objectif semble atteint par la fourniture de deux construits (modèle des dynamiques et jeu de propositions) et trois illustrations par des cas d’entreprises représentatives du secteur. Le modèle des cinq dynamiques constitue un support à la formulation de l’intention et à la conception de la configuration stratégique. En éclatant l’approche communautaire classique dans les dynamiques socio-politique, psycho-cognitive et d’usage, ce travail génère un cadre conceptuel qui se propose d’intégrer la notion d’environnement FLOSS plus large que celle de communauté. Ce modèle met en évidence un besoin de repérer les acteurs et pouvoirs en présence dans un projet, de gérer les réticences de ces derniers et de s’appuyer sur les usages pour développer des pratiques qui génèrent de la collaboration. Enfin, le jeu de propositions peut servir aux entreprises du FLOSS commercial de lignes directrices et aux chercheurs de pistes à approfondir. / This thesis aims to support business strategic decisions of commercial FLOSS companies. This objective appears to be achieved through two specific and flexible models (theoretical study supported by set of practical proposals) and three open source companies based case studies. The five dynamics' model is used to support the definition of the strategic intents and their deployment within an open source company. Based on socio-political, psycho-cognitive and technological use dynamics, this work generates a conceptual framework integrating the concept of FLOSS environment, much broader than only communities. This model highlights the needs to identify the different actors, their roles and scopes of influence in a project, to manage their reluctance and to mobilize collaboration tools to leverage of FLOSS practices. Finally, the set of proposals can be used as guidelines for commercial FLOSS companies strategy definition and for researchers more specific studies.

<p>This essay focuses on Maggie in <em>The Mill on the Floss</em>, by George Eliot. An examination of her life is presented which is anchored in feminist critical theory and focuses on the ordeal Maggie has to endure in a patriarchal society. Furthermore, the life of the Roma is examined through postcolonial theory and compared to Maggie’s. Many of the stereotypes that emerged about the Roma are also present in Maggie’s life. It is argued that Maggie embodies the stereotypes of the Roma through her encounters with different characters in the novel. </p>

Neste trabalho, inicialmente foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo sobre fatores de adoção para sistemas e componentes de software livre na comunidade brasileira de TI. Com base nos principais fatores apontados pela pesquisa, definimos um conjunto de critérios de avaliação de software livre cujo objetivo é orientar a comunidade brasileira de TI a avaliar este tipo de software de modo coerente e objetivo. A partir deste conjunto de critérios de avaliação, elaboramos e também apresentamos um protótipo de recomendador para adoção de software livre, potencialmente voltado para desenvolvedores de software e gerentes/líderes de equipes em organizações de TI. A ferramenta apóia a busca, visualização, avaliação e recomendação de software livre. Após coletarmos as avaliações multicritério feitas pelos usuários da ferramenta, pudemos avaliar qual o algoritmo de aprendizado de máquina mais indicado para estimar a avaliação geral de um usuário para um dado projeto de software livre.
