Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2014. / Background: Practitioners are required to practice evidence-based medicine. The availability of large volumes of information make this practice style difficult for the practitioner. However, a systematic review allows literature to be organised, rated and allows current, abbreviated research resources for practitioner in clinical practice. Objectives: The effectiveness of the Gonstead Chiropractic Technique (GCT) was evaluated to present current evidence available for various conditions for which the GCT is utilised in clinical practice. Thus, the aim of the study was to systematically review, collate and evaluate the research evidence in the literature to determine the effectiveness of the GCT. Method: A literature search was conducted, based on key terms including: Gonstead and manual, Gonstead and technique, and Gonstead and manipulative/manipulation. Databases searched were: CINAHL Plus, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Metalib, Pubmed, Science Direct, Springerlink and Summons. The articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, after which secondary hand and reference searches were done. Thereafter the articles were reviewed by six independent reviewers. Appropriate scales were used to rate the methodological rigour of each article (e.g. PEDro). The results were analysed and ranked, before these outcomes were classified and contextualised in the clinical conditions on which the included studies were based. Results: A total of 477 citations were identified; after screening 26 English articles remained. Two articles were added through the secondary hand-search. Limited to no evidence existed for the effectiveness of GCT for neck pain / headache / face pain and limited evidence existed for gynaecological issues, scoliosis, neurological disorders, fractures, blood pressure and physiological presentations. Consensus was evident for gynaecological issues, neurological disorders, fractures (with the exception of the undiagnosed fracture) and physiological presentations, whereas the neck pain / headache / face pain and scoliosis were conflicting. Conclusion: Limited evidence shows a need for future studies with stringent methodological rigour, so as to investigate the appropriateness / inappropriateness of the use of the GCT. The lack of evidence for GCT may compromise appropriate informed consent and treatment. Therefore practitioners are encouraged to use appropriate and validated tools to measure the patient’s clinical progress

O espaço em ambos os romances é construído por uma linguagem poética que prima por recursos de composição técnica e estrutural inovadores o que aproxima, entre outras coisas, as obras desses dois grandes expoentes da literatura latino-americana que, dessa maneira, retrataram a complexidade das sociedades da América Latina, simbolizadas num espaço rural emblemático que expressa, em perspectiva poética e sem caráter documental, diversas facetas da realidade. / El presente trabajo propone a desarrollar un análisis comparativo entre las novelas São Bernardo (1934), del brasileño Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953), y Pedro Páramo (1955), del mexicano Juan Rulfo (1918-1986), con el objetivo de demostrar cómo se articula el proceso de construcción del espacio en dichas obras, tratando de explicitar las similitudes y contrastes entre ellas, desde la percepción de que ambas proyectan, en dicho proceso, los lugares que revelan los conflictos sociales, psicológicos y existenciales del hombre en la confrontación con su origen y su destino. El espacio en ambas novelas se articula en un lenguaje poético que da primacía a los recursos de la composición técnica y estructural innovadores. Ello, entre otros aspectos, acerca a las obras de estos dos grandes exponentes de la literatura latinoamericana que, al hacerlo, describen la complejidad de las sociedades en América Latina, simbolizado, en un espacio rural emblemático que expresa en perspectiva poética y sin carácter documental, los diversos aspectos de la realidad.

Orientador: Messias Modesto dos Passos / Banca: Margarete Cristiane de Costa Trindade Amorim / Banca: Antonio Cordeiro Feitosa / Resumo: Este estudo apresenta as transformações e a atual dinâmica da paisagem do município de Pedro do Rosário, no estado do Maranhão entre os anos de 1984 a 2016, utilizando como abordagem teórico-metodológica, o modelo GTP (Geossistema - Território-Paisagem) proposto por Bertrand e Bertrand (2009). Para tanto foi utilizado um conjunto de procedimentos, a saber: processamentos digitais de imagens, levantamentos fitossociológicos, aplicação de questionários, voltados para avaliação das potencialidades e fragilidades dos geossistemas, e identificação dos principais fatores que atuam nas mudanças ocorridas no local. O referido município está inserido na Baixada Maranhense, uma região natural integrada por um sistema hidrográfico lacustre, constituído por rios, lagos e planícies fluviais inundáveis e contém em seus limites territoriais alguns dos principais divisores de águas que formam os rios e lagos da Baixada Maranhense. Todavia é interessante notar, que o mesmo não se encontra assistido pela política estadual de proteção ambiental, situação problemática, na medida em que se torna possível, perceber ao longo do tempo, transformações significativas associadas às características socioeconômicas locais. Como resultado foi possível diagnosticar as transformações paisagísticas ocorridas nas últimas 4 décadas. Pedro do Rosário passou por mudanças significativas, associadas às formas de uso ocorridas historicamente no local, com destaque para a pecuária, que ocasionou o aumento de áreas d...

The referred municipality is inserted on the Baixada Maranhense, a natural region integrated by a hydrographic lacustrine system, constituted by rivers, lakes and floodable fluvial plains. Some of the main waters splitters that composes the channels that forms the rivers and lakes of the Baixada Maranhense, are situated inside of the territorial limits of this city. However, is interest to point, than the same does not found aided by the statal policy of environmental protection, problematic situation, as long as that becomes possible, to realize along the time significant transformations associated to the environmental characteristics and local social economics. As result, was possible to identify than along grade of modifications on the last 4 decades. Pedro do Rosário passed for significant changes, associated to the use forms and occupation occurred historically on the loc... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
