    Knee adduction moment and medial contact force - facts about their correlation during gait

    No full text
    The external knee adduction moment is considered a surrogate measure for the medial tibiofemoral contact force and is commonly used to quantify the load reducing effect of orthopedic interventions. However, only limited and controversial data exist about the correlation between adduction moment and medial force. The objective of this study was to examine whether the adduction moment is indeed a strong predictor for the medial force by determining their correlation during gait. Instrumented knee implants with telemetric data transmission were used to measure tibiofemoral contact forces in nine subjects. Gait analyses were performed simultaneously to the joint load measurements. Skeletal kinematics, as well as the ground reaction forces and inertial parameters, were used as inputs in an inverse dynamics approach to calculate the external knee adduction moment. Linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between adduction moment and medial force for the whole stance phase and separately for the early and late stance phase. Whereas only moderate correlations between adduction moment and medial force were observed throughout the whole stance phase (R(2)?=?0.56) and during the late stance phase (R(2)?=?0.51), a high correlation was observed at the early stance phase (R(2)?=?0.76). Furthermore, the adduction moment was highly correlated to the medial force ratio throughout the whole stance phase (R(2)?=?0.75). These results suggest that the adduction moment is a surrogate measure, well-suited to predicting the medial force ratio throughout the whole stance phase or medial force during the early stance phase. However, particularly during the late stance phase, moderate correlations and high inter-individual variations revealed that the predictive value of the adduction moment is limited. Further analyses are necessary to examine whether a combination of other kinematic, kinetic or neuromuscular factors may lead to a more reliable prediction of the force magnitud

    TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Curso de Administração.A concretização do desejo de montar um negócio próprio exige empenho e conhecimento. Quando não existe experiência anterior na administração de um empreendimento, esses esforços são ainda maiores. Sob a luz desses fatos tem-se como problema dessa pesquisa: como nortear os esforços de marketing da Bergmann Joalheria e Ótica durante o segundo semestre de 2005. Para a empresa analisada tornar-se realidade, foi necessário grande esforço das sócias, mãe e filha, buscando informações sobre jóias, gemas, tendências, gosto do consumidor, como atuar em um comércio varejista, entre outros. Apesar das dificuldades a empresa esta há seis anos no mercado e vem crescendo a cada ano. O rápido crescimento fez com que o trabalho operacional tomasse a maior parte do tempo das proprietárias, privando-as da dedicação necessária para o planejamento da empresa. Para que essa realidade seja modificada, o primeiro passo é a implantação de um plano de marketing no segundo semestre de 2005. A justificativa deste trabalho está, portanto, na participação societária da aluna na organização, e a visível importância de um planejamento estratégico de marketing baseado nos preceitos mercadológicos para o bom andamento da organização. A metodologia utilizada foi fundamentada principalmente em Kotler (1998) e Ferrel (2000). A teoria pesquisada destacou alguns passos que foram seguidos por este plano, como a análise do ambiente que envolve a organização, e, diante disto detectar seus pontos fortes e fracos, oportunidades e ameaças, para poder definir a missão da empresa, tragar o objetivo a ser atingido, as estratégias que serão adotadas para que esse objetivo seja cumprido, tudo isto com foco e facilidade de compreensão por todos envolvidos na realização do plano. A Bergmann Jolheria e Ótica apresenta pontos fortes como a variedade de produtos e o trabalho com vendedoras externas sob a forma de consignação. O desafio a ser vencido com o desenvolvimento de estratégias em relação a prego, praça, produto e promoção, é atingir o objetivo do plano de marketing, ou seja, aumentar em 20% a receita de vendas no segundo semestre de 2005 quando comparado ao de 2004. Para isso, buscaram-se estratégias que visam nortear os esforços de marketing da empresa para o referido período. As estratégias são: criar um sistema de bonificação; aumentar a abrangência do atendimento através do acréscimo de vendedoras externas; aperfeiçoar a comunicação externa da empresa, através de outdoors e coquetéis de novos lançamentos; criar bonificações que estimulem as funcionárias; oferecer a customização nos produtos; gerenciar estrategicamente o banco de dados de clientes e oferecer descontos para o pagamento à vista. O crescimento da receita de vendas é de fundamental importância para a Bergmann Joalheria e Ótica, que busca sua consolidação e expansão no mercado, pois, diante da forte concorrência, é imprescindível agir estrategicamente, procurando melhorar o atendimento ao cliente, estabelecendo uma relação de confiança, visando sempre ter a preferência do consumidor.The concretization of wishing in creating an own business demands determination and knowledge. When there is no previous experience in the administration of an enterprise, these efforts are even greater. Under the light of these facts there has been as problem of this research: how to direct the marketing efforts of Bergmann Joalheria e Ótica during the second semester of 2005. So that the analyzed company comes true, it was necessary great effort from the partners, mother and daughter, seeking information about jewels, tendencies, the customer wishing, how to act in a retailer commerce, among others. Although the difficulties, the company has been in the market for six years and and has been growwing each year. The fast growth made the operational work to demand the most time of the owners, impeding them from the necessary dedication for the planning of the company. So that this reality be modified, the first step is the implantation of a marketing plan during the second semester of 2005. The excuse for this work is, therefore, in the participation of the partner of the student in the organization, and the visible importance of a marketing strategic planning based in the marketable precepts for the good work of the organization. The used methodology was based mostly in Kotler (1998) and Ferrel (2000). The searched theory highlighted some of the steps, which were followed by this plan, as the environment analysis that involves the organization, and, in front of this detect its strong and weak points, opportunities and threats, to define the company's mission, to have the goal to be reached, the strategies which will be adopted so that this objective be accomplished, everything with focus and easiness comprehension involving everyone in the accomplishment of the work. Bergmann Jolheria e Óptica presents strong points as the variety of products and the work with external salesgirls under the consignment form. The challenge to be reached with the development of strategies regarding price, place, product and product on sale, it is to reach the marketing plan goal, that is, to increase in 20% the income sales in the second semester of 2005 when compared to 2004. For that, strategies were used which aim to direct the company's marketing efforts for the referred period. The strategies are: to create a bonus system; to increase the assistance inclusion through the increase of external salesgirls; to improve the external communication of ther company, through outdoors and new cocktail releases; to create bonuses which stimulate the employees; to offer the costing in the products; to manage, strategically, the database of the clients and offer discounts for cash payments. The growth of the sales income is of fundamental importance for Bergmann Joalheria e ótica, which searches consolidation and expansion in the market, due to the strong competition, it is essential to act strategically, trying to improve the assistance to the client, establishing a reliable relation, always aiming in having the customer preference

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Wireless Internet, Multimedia, and Artificial Intelligence: New Applications and Infrastructures

    No full text
    The potential offered by the Internet, combined with the enormous number of connectable devices, offers benefits in many areas of our modern societies, both public and private. The possibility of making heterogeneous devices communicate with each other through the Internet has given rise to a constantly growing scenario, which was unthinkable not long ago. This unstoppable growth takes place thanks to the continuous availability of increasingly sophisticated device features, an ever-increasing bandwidth and reliability of the connections, and the ever-lower consumption of the devices, which grants them long autonomy. This scenario of exponential growth also involves other sectors such as, for example, that of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which offers us increasingly sophisticated approaches that can be synergistically combined with wireless devices and the Internet in order to create powerful applications for everyday life. Precisely for the aforementioned reasons, the community of researchers, year by year, dedicates more time and resources in this direction. It should be observed that this happens in an atypical way concerning the other research fields, and this is because the achieved progress and the developed applications have practical applications in numerous and different domains

    The monolayer formation of Bergmann glial cells is regulated by Notch/RBP-J signaling

    AbstractThe Bergmann glia is a unipolar astrocyte in the cerebellar cortex, displaying a tight association with Purkinje cells. The cell bodies of Bergmann glia are located in a row around Purkinje cell somata; they extend radially arranged Bergmann fibers which enwrap the synapses on the Purkinje cell dendrites. It is well known that Bergmann glial somata migrate from the ventricular zone through the mantle zone, forming an epithelium-like lining in the Purkinje cell layer during development. However, the mechanism of the monolayer formation of Bergmann glia is poorly understood. Several reports have suggested that Notch signaling plays instructive roles in promoting the identities of several types of glial cells, including Bergmann glia. Moreover, Notch receptors are expressed in Bergmann glia during development. Here, we have deleted the Notch1, Notch2 and RBP-J genes in the Bergmann glia by GFAP-driven, Cre-mediated recombination, to study the role of Notch-RBP-J-signaling in the monolayer formation of Bergmann glia. Notch1/2- and RBP-J-conditional mutant mice showed disorganization of Bergmann fibers, irregularities of the Bergmann glial lining and aberrant localization of Bergmann glia in the molecular layer. Thus, Notch-RBP-J signaling plays crucial roles in the monolayer formation and morphogenesis of Bergmann glia
