A tese é que iniciar a realimentação oral com dieta sólida completa após PA seria seguro e poderia resultar em um tempo menor de hospitalização. O objetivo deste trabalho foi explorar a segurança e o tempo de internação quando uma dieta sólida completa é utilizada como refeição inicial após quadro de PA leve, comparando com outras duas dietas: líquida e pastosa. Pacientes com PA leve foram randomizados para receber uma entre três dietas: líquida clara, pastosa ou sólida completa como refeição inicial durante realimentação oral. A progressão da dieta e a alta hospitalar foram determinadas por médicos não membros da equipe do ensaio. Os pacientes foram monitorados diariamente para recorrência de dor abdominal (endpoint primário), tolerância à dieta, tempo de internação (endpoint secundário) e durante sete dias após a alta para registrar a frequência da recorrência de dor. Um total de 210 pacientes foi avaliado, 70 em cada tipo de dieta. Baseado no protocolo, não houve diferença na frequência da recorrência de dor durante a realimentação entre os três tipos de dieta: 20% para a dieta líquida, 17% para a pastosa e 21% para a sólida completa (P=0,80). Os pacientes que receberam uma dieta sólida completa sem recorrência de dor abdominal tiveram um tempo menor de internação (mediano de -1,5 dia) quando comparados com os que receberam a dieta pastosa ou líquida (P=0,000). A realimentação com dieta sólida completa após PA leve foi bem tolerada e resultou em um tempo menor de internação em pacientes sem recorrência de dor abdominal. / In acute pancreatitis (AP) the need for fat restriction during refeeding has not been studied. The thesis is that to start oral refeeding with a full solid diet after mild AP would be safe and might result in a shorter length of hospitalization. The objective of this study was to explore the safety and length of hospital stay when a full solid diet is used as the initial meal after a mild AP comparing to two other diets: liquid and pasty. Patients with mild AP were randomized to receive one of three diets: clear liquid, pasty or full solid as the initial meal during oral refeeding. Diet progression and hospital discharge were determined by non-members of the trial team. Patients were monitored daily for abdominal pain recurrence (primary endpoint), diet tolerance, length of hospitalization (secondary endpoint) and during seven days after discharge to record the pain recurrence rates. A total of 210 patients was evaluated, 70 in each type of diet. Based on the protocol, there was no difference in pain recurrence rates during refeeding between the three diet types: 20% for liquid diet, 17% for pasty and 21% for full solid (P=0.80). The patients who received a full solid diet without abdominal pain recurrence had a shorter length of hospitalization (median of -1.5 days) when compared with those who received the liquid or pasty diets (P=0.000). Oral refeeding with a full solid diet after mild AP was well tolerated and resulted in a shorter length of hospitalization in patients without abdominal pain recurrence.

Para este estudo clínico controlado, randomizado, cego, foram selecionados 30 pacientes com retrações gengivais Classe I ou II de Miller ? 2 mm, em dentes caninos ou pré-molares superiores. Os 30 defeitos foram aleatoriamente designados para o grupo RPC ou para o grupo RPC+MG. Os parâmetros clínicos avaliados foram: profundidade de sondagem, nível de inserção clínico, altura e largura da retração gengival, altura e espessura de tecido queratinizado, altura e largura da papila interdental, hipersensibilidade dentinária e satisfação estética. As medidas clínicas foram tomadas imediatamente antes da cirurgia e 45 dias, 2, 3 e 6 meses após as cirurgias. Nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significante foi observada entre os grupos em relação à redução da retração gengival, embora tenha sido encontrada maior porcentagem de cobertura radicular no grupo RPC+MG (77,8%), quando comparado ao RPC (72,5%) (p<0,05). Cobertura radicular completa foi obtida em 40% dos sítios tanto no RPC quanto no grupo RPC+MG. Ao final do estudo, o ganho na espessura de tecido queratinizado foi 0,21 mm maior para o grupo RPC+MG (p<0,05). Nenhum dos tratamentos reduziu hipersensibilidade dentinária de forma significativa (p>0,05), mas resultaram em aumento estatisticamente significante na satisfação estética dos pacientes (p<0,05), sendo esta maior quando o MG não foi utilizado (p<0,05). Dentro dos limites do presente estudo pôde-se concluir que o RPC, associado ou não a MG, levou a redução significativa da retração gengival, sem diferença estatística entre os grupos. Entretanto, quando MG foi utilizado, houve ganhado adicional na espessura de tecido queratinizado / Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of the coronally advanced flap technique (CAF) associated or not to a porcine collagen matrix graft (MG) in the treatment of localized gingival recessions. For this blinded randomized controlled clinical trial, 30 patients with Miller Class I or II gingival recession ? 2 mm in canines or premolars were selected. The 30 defects were randomly assigned to the CAF group or to the CAF+MG group. The clinical parameters evaluated were probing depth, clinical attachment level, gingival recession height, gingival recession width, height and thickness of keratinized tissue, height and width of interdental papilla, dentin hypersensitivity and aesthetic satisfaction. Clinical measurements were taken at baseline and 45 days, 2, 3 and 6 months after surgery. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding gingival recession reduction, although it was found the highest percentage of root coverage in CAF + MG group (77.8%) compared to the CAF alone (72.5%) (p<0.05). Complete root coverage was achieved in 40% of the sites in both CAF and CAF + MG group. At the end of the study, the gain in keratinized tissue thickness was 0.21 mm higher in CAF + MG group (p <0.05). None of the treatments significantly reduced dentin hypersensitivity (0>0.05), but resulted in increased patient-reported aesthetic satisfaction (p<0.05), which was higher when the MG was not used (p<0.05). Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that CAF, with or without MG, resulted in significant gingival recession reduction, with no statistical difference between groups. However, when MG was used, there was additional gain in keratinized tissue thickness / Mestrado / Periodontia / Mestra em Clínica Odontológica

Esta dissertação tem por objeto as narrativas emergentes a partir de um caso de assassinato ocorrido em Ouro Preto/MG em 14 de outubro de 2001, o caso Aline, que teve repercussão nacional ao ser representado com características de mistério e barbárie, tecendo uma teia de relações causais com diferentes elementos drogas, festas estudantis, satanismo e, em especial, jogos de interpretação de papeis (RPGs). A partir da noção de drama social de Victor Turner, analisa-se a ruptura do cotidiano de Ouro Preto com o crime, abrindo fissuras para a emergência de metáforas radicais de sacrifício e crucificação, que energizam a leitura do crime como ritual macabro. Analisam-se a evolução do processo e o julgamento dos acusados, o encontro de narrativas e o desfecho dissonante das expectativas punitivas. Em seguida, acompanha-se a produção de narrativas dominantes e o escalonamento dos conflitos do caso Aline para as arenas narrativas midiáticas, mágico-religiosas e jurídico-políticas. Discutem-se as expectativas de justiça e punição por meio da análise de linchamento moral e da busca por vítimas sacrificais, unindo-as com uma discussão sobre racionalidade penal moderna que permite questionar a aporia formada pela absolvição. Por fim, tecem-se algumas considerações sobre a produção de ordens e desordens no ritual do júri e o que poderia ser uma narrativa justa do caso Aline. / This dissertation analyzes the rising narratives of a murder case occurred in Ouro Preto/MG in October 14, 2001, the Aline case. This case was nationwide known due to the mystery and cruelty with which it was represented, weaving a web of causal relations with several elements drugs, student parties, Satanism and Roleplaying Games (RPGs). Victor Turners notion of social drama is engaged to analyze how the crime creates a breach in Ouro Preto everyday life, opening cracks for the arouse of root metaphors of sacrifice and crucifixion, that energizes the crime reading as a macabre ritual. The evolution of the process and the defendants trial are discussed as a narrative gathering with an unexpected non-punitive outcome. The crystallization of dominant narratives and the escalating conflicts of Aline case are followed to the media, magical-religious and juridical-political arenas. Then the expectations of justice and punishment are discussed, through an analyze of the moral lynching and the search of a escape goat, and also a discussion of the modern penal rationality, that enables questions on the aporia created by the defendants discharge. At last, some considerations on Jury ritual creations of order and disorder and of what could be a just narrative of Aline case.

Para facilitar a compreensão da aplicação do controle avançado, revisa-se alguns conceitos básicos da teoria clássica de controle. Devido à complexidade deste processo, orientado pela transformação bio-polimérica da matéria-prima farino-lipídico-protéica a certa umidade ao longo da extrusora, são retomados alguns conceitos de estatística, a fim de compor um modelo experimental para as principais variáveis independentes e de processo na extrusão. Estudou-se a relação estatística significativa entre as variáveis independentes: vazão de farinha, vazão de vapor, vazão de água e rotação de helicóide do extrusor e as variáveis de processo: densidade e umidade do produto extrusado úmido, temperatura de saída e pressão de saída da extrusora. Para o completo entendimentos destas relações, são correlacionados as variações dos teores de umidade, lipídios, proteínas e carboidratos da farinha a ser extrusada. Ainda como importante parâmetro industrial é realizado o balanço de energia para o processo em questão através da energia mecânica específica ('SME') e energia térmica específica ('STE'). Devido à aplicação industrial deste trabalho, o controle da densidade e umidade do produto extrusado úmido é na verdade baseado no controle da relação empírica entre a temperatura e pressão na saída da extrusora. Dessa forma, o custo de instalação e precisão, enfatizando a necessidade de repetibilidade na medida de temperatura e pressão de saída, se tomam muito mais viáveis quando os mesmos são comparados com a medida de densidade e umidade para o produto extrusado na saída da extrusora. Equipamentos para a medida precisa de densidade para produtos sólidos-úmidos aplicam princípio nuclear e para a medida de umidade são empregados instrumentos com sofisticados espectros de infravermelho associados a sistemas óticos internos. A fim de estudar-se a viabilidade deste modelo, foi realizado um planejamento composto central (4 variáveis independentes), com pontos axiais e a inclusão de alguns pontos aleatórios de interesse prático, a fim de obter-se um modelo mais robusto. Para tanto foram avaliadas três receitas típicas na indústria de rações de animais, a fim de representar-se a maioria dos produtos comerciais recomendados para cachorros e gatos. Através do conhecimento profundo das variáveis de processo, utilizou-se alguns experimentos para o entendimento do processo quanto à natureza da resposta, como a linearidade e a variação da resposta com o tempo. Estes experimentos informaram sobre o comportamento das curvas de reação para as variáveis independentes isoladamente. Atendendo a necessidade para a aplicação de estratégias de controle não lineares e/ou neurais o processo demonstrou-se com resposta em um único sentido com a perturbação, não linear e variante com o tempo. Este estudo foi comprovado pela aplicação da teoria de controle para processos lineares com perturbações lineares isoladas. Finalmente, é utilizado o conhecimento adquirido no estudo do processo de extrusão e da avaliação da curva resposta experimental das perturbações isoladas para o projeto de um algorítimo de controle baseado na estratégia de controle MIMO 2 x 2. Este controle foi testado através do controlador neuro-adaptativo 'Model Free Adaptive' (MFA), demonstrando resultados preliminares satisfatórios para o controle simultâneo da temperatura e pressão de saída de um extrusor de eixo simples, empregando como variáveis manipulativas a proporção de vapor / água e a vazão de farinha de alimentação respectivamente para as variáveis de processo citadas / Abstract: The present study informs about the main features of extrusion control processes, based on product-wet density and moisture. To comprehend the study, some background of the classic control theory is provided. The process complexity, provided by formation of a bio-polymer from carbohydrate-lipid-protein raw materials, requires analysis using statistical concepts to build an experimental model for the principal extrusion process variables. Significant statistical relationships were evaluated between the following independent variables: meal feed rate, steam feed rate, water feed rate and extruder screw speed; and dependent variables: wet product density and moisture, extruder die temperature and die pressure. The process energy and mass balance were described using the Specific Mechanical Energy ('SME') and Specific Thermal Energy ('STE') concepts. To facilitate the industrial application of this study, the wet density and moisture control is evaluated by an experimental empirical relationship between die temperature and die pressure. Die temperature and die pressure measurements are more feasible when compared with wet product density and moisture measurements due to ease of installation and measurement precision. Suitable equipment for the wet-solid product density measurements apply the nuclear principle, where safety is a concern; and moisture measurements use sophisticated devices with any combination of infrared and optical systems. In order to evaluate the model application, a box experimental design was used with four independent variables, star points and some random points resulting from extrusion operation experience. Three typical dry recipes used in the pet food industry were tested, representing the majority of retail products for dogs and cats. Applying the knowledge of extrusion process variables, several experiments were run to understand the process responses, such as linearity and control parameters. These experiments showed the influence of isolated independent variables to the dependent variables. The process was characterized by presenting a one way, non-linearity and time varying response, suitable for non-linear and neural controllers. Classic control theory was applied to evaluate each perturbation. The knowledge gained from an extrusion process and experimental response curve analysis from isolated perturbation was applied to build a control algorithm based on MIMO 2 X 2 control strategy. This model was tested by the neural-adaptive ' Model Free Adaptive' (MFA) controller. Initial satisfactory results were observed from the simultaneous control of die temperature and die pressure on a single screw extruder, using as manipulative variables the ratio of steam / water and the meal feed rate respectively / Mestrado / Mestre em Engenharia de Alimentos

Since the release of the new iPad in 2010, few studies have explored the idea of tablet- based menus in restaurants. Since this is a new topic in the hospitality industry, there has not been literature that explores how personal traits influence the adoption intention of tablet-based menus. This study aims to explain the impact of innovation characteristics and individual differences on customer intentions to adopt tablet-based menus in restaurants of different service levels. With a random sample of 430 participants collected via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a regression analysis and an ANOVA test were performed. The results confirmed that only three variables (relative advantage, compatibility, and restaurant type) make a statistically significant contribution to predicting the adoption intention of tablet-based menus. It was also found that adoption intention of tablet-based menus differs across three restaurant types (quick-service restaurant, midscale restaurant, and upscale restaurant). The findings of this study provide an important insight to restaurant managers who may consider implementing tablet-based menus at their establishments. Limitations and ideas for future research are discussed.

This study aimed to identify some of the strategies students used when pronouncing unfamiliar words. Questionnaires were handed out to 94 students in the 9th grade in a medium-sized Swedish town. In addition, two teachers and 13 students were interviewed. The results indicate that the students had acquired some basic knowledge about the English sound system from phonetic training in their past education. However, there seemed to be a tendency among the students to use the trial-and-error strategy to a larger extent than using tools such as phonetic transcription in order to figure out the pronunciation of a word. The results also show that the teachers did not teach planned lessons on pronunciation, but instead it was more common that they responded to errors made by students. In conclusion, the results show that the students' knowledge in pronunciation in general was limited. In addition, there seemed to be a connection between the way the students and the teachers approached pronunciation and the student's ability to solve pronunciation issues.

This study investigated the tension between the right to freedom of expression and the right to a fair trial in the context of the public broadcasting of criminal trials. The aim of the study was to determine whether the right of the media to broadcast criminal trials can be reconciled with the right of an accused person to a fair trial. To accomplish the above aim, the research undertook a review of the case law relating to televised criminal trials in order to determine how the courts have addressed the fair trial-free expression conflict. The study concluded that the ‘balancing exercise’ employed by the courts does not seem to have addressed this tension. Given that televised criminal trials are prone to sensationalism and the danger of fabrication of evidence, the study concludes that the broadcasting of criminal trials undermines the right to a fair trial. The study makes recommendations that are designed to ensure a proper balance between the freedom of expression as exercised by the media through the broadcasting of criminal trials on the one hand and the right of accused persons to a fair trial on the other.

Aim: To improve the dental behaviour and knowledge of mothers of infants with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP). Design: A randomised controlled, single blind, prospective clinical trial of one year duration, measuring the effectiveness of a preventive dental health programme. All mothers and their infants attending the regional cleft unit following primary surgery were invited to participate. All data collection took place within the same cleft unit. Primary objectives examined dental attendance, use of a fluoride toothpaste and introduction of a feeder cup. Mothers completed dental behaviour and dental health knowledge questionnaires followed by stratified random allocation concealed from the researcher, to test or control groups. Preventive dental advice was given according to group allocation. Data were collected at baseline, after 12 months and aged three years at a multidisciplinary clinic review. An independent researcher collected the 12 months data and a specialist in paediatric dentistry the data at aged three years, both were blinded to group allocation. Results: 88 infants were recruited with 87 available at 12 months and 82 at three years, median age at baseline 10.5 months. More infants in the test group had been examined by their dentist, 12 months (p = 0.063), 3 years (p = 0.054). More infants in the test group were using a high fluoride toothpaste at 12 months (p = 0.001), no difference was found at three years (p = 0.105). Fewer infants in the test group were consuming drinks considered detrimental between meals at 12 months (p = 0.022), no difference was detected at three years (p = 1.000). A comparison of dental health knowledge over time revealed some differences. The dental health status reported 60 (73%) children were caries free and 17 (21%) with dentinal caries requiring attention. Four children were in need of dental extractions under general anaesthesia. This study was not powered to detect important differences between groups. The mean caries experience, decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft) for 82 children examined at three years was 0.51(SD 1.45) and for those 17 (21%) with caries into dentine, 2.47 (SD 2.35). Conclusion: A dental health programme initially changes behaviour, however over time this is not maintained. Due to moderate caries levels the regional cleft Unit should ensure that all children with CLP receive preventive dental advice and dental care from either a hospital or community based specialist in paediatric dentistry. Further research is needed to improve the future care of this important group.
