Há instrumentos posicionadores que são utilizados para determinar a posição vertical adequada dos acessórios na superfície dentária. Mesmo estes instrumentos são passíveis de erros durante sua utilização, por permitirem a inclinação vestíbulo-lingual, levando os bráquetes a uma posição inadequada. Prejudicam todo o tratamento, e causam problemas dentários individuais como: alteração do comprimento do arco dentário; provocam intrusões, extrusões, contatos pré-maturos e; consequentemente comprometem todo o sistema mastigatório. Baseado nesta limitação dos instrumentos posicionadores verticais atualmente disponíveis no mercado, o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o desenvolvimento, apresentar e testar um posicionador do tipo estrela que impeça a inclinação vestíbulo-lingual durante o seu uso. O instrumento foi criado, modelado, patenteado e prototipado para os testes laboratoriais. Para os testes, foram formados quatro grupos com diferentes tempos de experiência clínica em Ortodontia, composto por seis participantes em cada grupo. Cada indivíduo colou bráquetes edgewise 0,022”x0,028” em um manequim typodont com maloclusão Classe I em incisivos, caninos e pré-molares superiores e inferiores. Eles utilizaram primeiramente a estrela de Boone e posteriormente a Estrela UFJF (houve pelo menos 30 dias de diferença entre as colagens). Os estudos mostraram que o uso da Estrela UFJF propiciou médias de colagem mais próximas à considerada ideal no presente estudo (4mm) nos grupos que apresentavam alguma experiência em Ortodontia. Nos grupos de dentes avaliados, o desvio padrão em relação 4mm foi menor quando utilizada a Estrela UFJF se comparado ao uso da estrela de Boone. Todos experimentos apresentaram menores variâncias quando utilizada a Estrela UFJF. Conclui-se, desta forma, que o instrumento desenvolvido apresentou menores variações no posicionamento vertical dos bráquetes ortodônticos quando associado à experiência clínica, sendo esta necessária para seu uso. / The bracket placement is important for the appropriate teeth alignment and leveling during orthodontic treatment. Instruments can be used to determine the position of vertical attachments at dental surface. They are prone to fail during their use because they allow buccolingual inclination and take wrong position of attachments. It may jeopardize a treatment, causing to individuals severe dental problems, such as change the length of the dental arch, intrusions, extrusions, premature contacts and even commit all estomatognatic system. Based on the vertical limitation of some instruments positioners, the aim of this study was to develop and test a star-like positioner that prevents a buccolingual inclination during its use. The instrument was created, modeled, patented and prototyped for laboratory tests. For analysis, 4 groups were defined with different clinical experience in orthodontics, with 6 participants in each group. Each individual bonded edgewise 0.022x0,028in brackets in a typodont with Class I malocclusion in maxillary and mandibular incisors, canines and premolars, first with a Boone gauge and at least 30-days after, with Estrela UFJF. Studies showed that Estrela UFJF had averages closer to the ideal (4mm) in groups with some experience in orthodontics than Boone gauge. In all groups available, the standard deviation was lower with the Estrela UFJF than with Boone gauge. Specific groups of teeth, which variances were lower with Estrela UFJF than with Boone gauge. It is concluded that the developed instrument presented less variations in bracket vertical positioning and some clinical orthodontic experience is necessary to its use.

When teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), teachers use feedback in order to help students to improve their English skills. They can use both oral and written feedback to encourage students to make progress. Oral and written feedback play a significant role in second language acquisition, and this study could raise teachers' awareness of the different feedback strategies that can be employed in EFL classrooms. This could benefit their teaching performance and students’ learning. This study aims to examine the different types of oral and written feedback used in the EFL classroom, as well as teachers’ own perceptions of feedback. The approach used to conduct this study was both quantitative and qualitative. Three types of data material were collected in a secondary school (grades 7-9) for the analysis: three secondary school teachers were interviewed; their English lessons were observed; and their feedback on student essays was collected. The material collected was used in the analysis, which indicated that the teachers used different types of feedback. The most frequent oral feedback types used were recast, elicitation, and praise. However, the teachers employed different strategies regarding to how they provide this feedback. Two of the teachers provided feedback in the traditional way by using corrective types of feedback frequently, while one teacher chose not to correct students too often and instead encouraged them by giving them praise. The evaluation of different feedback types performed in this study suggests that recast as an implicit feedback type provided orally could be more effective in a communicative classroom setting, as it does not interrupt the communicative flow. In writing, on the other hand, explicit feedback combined with face-to-face sessions could lead to better results. It would be interesting to investigate in further research the effects of different oral and written feedback types.

Denna studie undersökte uppfattningar om praktiker när det gäller skriftliga återkopplingsmetoder för två lärare i engelska på ett svensk gymnasium. Projektet som utformades som en fallstudie undersökte också de kontextuella faktorerna som påverkar lärarnas kunskaper, övertygelser och skriftliga återkopplingsmetoder genom att samla in data med hjälp av Think-Aloud protokoll sessioner, halvstrukturerade intervjuer och analys av kommenterade studenttexter. Resultaten tyder på att det finns skillnader i lärarnas uppfattningar och faktiska praxis när det gäller att lära sig att skriva och tillhandahålla skriftlig återkoppling på grund av de kontextuella faktorerna. Resultaten visar också att lärarnas akademiska identitet, erfarenhet och institutionella krav tillsammans med andra faktorer som betyg, tid, studentmotivering och klassrummstorlek har påverkat lärarens beslutsprocess.

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / A public orthodontic system generally is designed to prioritize patients so that those who have the greatest need receive treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the subjective perceptions of the occlusal appearance of 11 to 12 year-old schoolchildren of Nairobi with the modified Aesthetic Component (AC) scale of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). The objectives were to assess the children&rsquo;s perception of their occlusal appearance, categorise the occlusal appearance using the AC scale, by both the children and researcher; and to compare the children&rsquo;s&rsquo; perception and the AC of the IOTN. / South Africa

Magister Chirurgiae Dentium (MChD) / Epidemiological studies on malocclusion have been primarily concerned with its aetiology and distribution. However, due to the varied and often subjective methods of assessment, many of these studies provide conflicting data related to malocclusions (Solow, 1970). To address this, the F&eacute;d&eacute;ration Dentaire Internationale (FDI) in close collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) developed an objective method for measuring occlusal traits (Baume et al., 1973). This method was used to obtain the epidemiological data on occlusal traits for 14-year-old children Kampala in order to provide baseline data related to malocclusion. A total of 402 subjects were examined. Of these 65% were female and 35% were male. Thirty percent of the sample had at least one dental anomaly. The most commonly extracted teeth were mandibular first molars (43.6%) and maxillary canines (17.3%). The high frequency of extracted permanent canines in this sample is unique. By and large, many of the occlusal traits related to the canine are attributable to the practice of ebinyo, a form of dental mutilation, which still seem to be rife in many communities in Uganda. Similar to other studies (Massler and Frankel, 1951; de Muňiz, 1986; Ferguson, 1988; Kaka, 1993), mandibular first molars were five times more likely to be missing than maxillary first molars while the ratio of missing maxillary to mandibular canines was found to be 2.5:1. Crowding was most frequently observed in the mandibular incisal segment while spacing was mostly in the maxillary incisal region, thus supporting the view of Brunelle et al., (1996) that although prevalence may vary from study to study, more people have malaligned mandibular incisors than maxillary incisors concurs with these studies. Of the subjects studied, 6.8% had a diastema of 3mm and more. Regarding space measurements, 17.9% of the sample population had at least one segment with crowding, 18.2% had at least one segment with spacing while 33.6% had some degree of incisor malalignment and 54.2% of the sample population had some form of space anomaly. About 70% of the subjects had symmetric molar relationships of which 54.2% were Class I, 9.2% Class II and 3.2% Class III similar to the universal distributional pattern. Crossbites were not a major finding, and were present in only 7% of the sample. The distribution of overjet was relatively symmetrical on the left and right. Negative overjet (anterior open bite) was a rare occurrence in an average of 2.4% of the population. In 77.6% of the population, the overjet ranged from 1 to 4mm, and in 22.4%, the overjet was either edge-to-edge, reverse or 5mm and over. About 7.3% had an overjet of 5-6mm while only 2.1% had an overjet greater than 6mm. Approximately 53.7% of the population had an overbite of 1-3mm. Edge-to-edge and open bite incisor relationships were found in less than 10% of the sample. Although ideal occlusion as described by Angle (1907) in the Ugandan sample is very rare, using the data derived from this study, normal occlusion as defined by statistical distribution can be described. / South Africa

This thesis develops a robust methodology for on-line identification of power system dynamic signature based on incoming system responses from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS). Data mining techniques are used in the methodology to convert real-time monitoring data into transient stability information and the pattern of system dynamic behaviour in the event of instability. The future power system may operate closer to its stability limit in order to improve its efficiency and economic value. The changing types and patterns of load and generation are resulting in highly variable operating conditions. Corrective control and stabilisation is becoming a potentially viable option to enable safer system operation. In the meantime, the number of WAMS projects and PMUs is rising, which will significantly improve the system situational awareness. The combination of all these factors means that it is of vital importance to exploit a new and efficient Transient Stability Assessment (TSA) tool in order to use real-time PMU data to support decisions for corrective control actions. Data mining has been studied as the innovative solution and considered as promising. This work contributes to a number of areas of power systems stability research, specifically around the data driven approach for real-time emergency mode TSA. A review of past research on on-line TSA using PMU measurements and data mining is completed, from which the Decision Tree (DT) method is found to be the most suitable. This method is implemented on the test network. A DT model is trained and the sensitivity of its prediction accuracy is assessed according to a list of network uncertainties. Results showed that DT is a useful tool for on-line TSA for corrective control approach. Following the implementation, a generic probabilistic framework for the assessment of the prediction accuracy of data mining models is developed. This framework is independent of the data mining technique. It performs an exhaustive search of possible contingencies in the testing process and weighs the accuracies according to the realistic probability distribution of uncertain system factors, and provides the system operators with the confidence level of the decisions made under emergency conditions. After that, since the TSA for corrective control usually focuses on transient stability status without dealing with the generator grouping in the event of instability, a two-stage methodology is proposed to address this gap and to identify power system dynamic signature. In this methodology, traditional binary classification is used to identify transient stability in the first stage; Hierarchical Clustering is used to pre-define patterns of unstable dynamic behaviour; and different multiclass classification techniques are investigated to identify the patterns in the second stage. Finally, the effects of practical issues related to WAMS on the data mining methodologies are investigated. Five categories of issues are discussed, including measurement error, communication noise, wide area signal delays, missing measurements, and a limited number of PMUs.

Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar em adultos com perdas dos primeiros molares inferiores permanentes, as inclinações e angulações dentárias dos dentes adjacentes, bem como a espessura do rebordo após movimentação mesial de segundos molares para suprir a perda e verticalização dos segundos molares para reabilitação protética. Métodos: Foram selecionados 2 grupos de estudo. O Grupo Fechamento (GF) foi composto por 12 hemiarcos com ausência de primeiros molares permanentes e espaços variando entre 2 a 7mm, que foram tratadas ortodonticamente com fechamento do espaço. O Grupo Abertura (GA) foi composto por 14 hemiarcos com ausência de primeiros molares permanentes e espaços variando entre 7,1 a 12mm, que foram tratadas ortodonticamente com verticalização do segundo e terceiro molar e reabertura de espaço para reabilitação protética. Avaliou-se em modelos dentários digitais a angulação, a inclinação, a dimensão cérvico-oclusal e a espessura do rebordo. As comparações interfases e intergrupos foram realizadas com os testes t-pareado e t-independente respectivamente (p<0,05). Resultados: Houve melhora na angulação dos segundos molares inferiores tanto no GF quanto no GA, mostrando eficácia da mecânica em ambas as terapias; não houve alterações significantes nas inclinações vestibulolinguais dos dentes posteriores em ambos os grupos; a espessura do rebordo aumentou no GF e manteve-se constante no GA. Conclusões: As duas modalidades de tratamento demonstraram resultados adequados. A escolha do plano de tratamento deve ponderar a relação custo-benefício de cada caso, considerando-se a dimensão inicial do espaço, a presença dos terceiros molares, as condições periodontais iniciais, o tempo de tratamento e o custo financeiro. / Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate, in adults with loss of the first permanent molars, the inclinations and angles of adjacent teeth as well as the alveolar ridge thickness after mesial movement of second molars to close the space of the tooth loss and second molar uprighting to rehabilitation prosthetic. Methods: Two study groups were selected. The Group Closure (GC) was composed of 12 quadrants with no permanent first molars and edentulous spaces varying from 2 to 7mm, which were treated with orthodontic space closure. The Group Opening (GO) was composed of 14 quadrants with no permanent first molars and edentulous spaces varying from 7.1 to 12mm, which were treated with orthodontic uprighting of the second and third molars and reopening space for prosthetic rehabilitation. In digital dental models were evaluated the angulation, inclination, the cervical-occlusal dimension and alveolar ridge thickness. Interphase and intergroup comparisons were performed with with paired t-test and independent t-test, respectively (p <0.05). Results: There was improvement in the angulation of the mandibular second molars both in GC and GO, showing the mechanical efficiency in both therapies; there were no significant changes in buccolingual inclinations of the posterior teeth in both groups; the alveolar ridge thickness increased in GC and remained constant in GO. Conclusions: Both treatment modalities have demonstrated appropriate results. The choice of treatment plan should consider the cost-benefit of each case, taking into account the initial dimension of the space, the presence of third molars, initial periodontal conditions, treatment time and the financial cost.

Possible remedies for incorrect procedure used by contracting authority in public procurement Abstract The aim of the diploma thesis is to provide analysis of incorrect procedures of contracting authority in public procurement and possible remedies. Particularly from the position of the contracting authority itself and partially from the position of the economic operator, who is able to initiate corrective measures through the institutes of protection against irregular practices of contracting authority. The submitted thesis also deals with certain interpretative problems of the contemporary legislation of public procurement, which may be directly related to the mistakes of the contracting authorities. The first chapter discusses basic concepts of public procurement law and delineates exemplary conduct of one of the typical types of procurement procedure, namely open procedure. The second chapter deals with frequent mistakes and possible remedies of those mistakes by the contracting authority within the time limit for the submission of tenders. The focus of this chapter is on the procurement documents, its explanation and alteration or supplementation. The third chapter follows the second chapter, because it deals with incorrect procedure used by contracting authorities and possibilities of their remedies...
