Paisajes distópicos en la trilogía Bruna Husky de Rosa Montero
No full textNei romanzi della detective Bruna Husky, Rosa Montero si avvale di un paesaggio urbano degradato, inspirato al noto film Blade Runner. La coesistenza di elementi attuali e futuristici, permettono all’autrice di proiettare le preoccupazioni del suo presente in un Madrid distopico, a partire dal ricorso a elementi sia del romanzo poliziesco che della fantascienza.In the novels of the detective Bruna Husky, Rosa Montero uses a degraded urban landscape, inspired by the well-known film Blade Runner. The coexistence of current and futuristic elements allows the author to project the concerns of her present into a dystopian Madrid, starting from the use of elements of both hard-boiled and science fiction
Gift-giving, consumption and the female court in sixteenth-century Italy
No full textPhDThe subject of my research is the female consort and her court. I focus on three Austrian
Archduchesses: Giovanna, Barbara and Eleonora Habsburg who came down to Italy in
the second half of the sixteenth century and married into the ducal houses of Florence,
Ferrara and Mantua respectively. My thesis compares the structures, roles and
relationships in these three contemporary female courts, and analyses the consorts’
reliance on personal consumption, gift-giving and patronage activities to assert their
power, position and identity. My research is primarily based on the unpublished letters
and accounts preserved in the three state archives of Florence, Modena (which contains
the Este archive) and Mantua.
My thesis starts with a background chapter on the history of the three Duchesses,
and then turns to address each Duchess’s financial situation, the organisation of her
court, her attitude to her husband and her new family and the particular circumstances
of her life. This chapter sheds new light on the position of the consort, and sets the stage
for the exploration of her patronage and consumption. My first case-study focuses on
clothing. I examine the Duchesses’ choices in dressing themselves and their courts and
analyse their treatment of clothing as a valuable visual language. My second case-study
focuses on the gifts of food that were sent to and from the Duchesses. I discuss their
function as items of relatively small economic value in the creation of patronage
relationships and in the process of social and political mediation.
The central tenet in my case-studies is that objects could act as coded messages,
with multiple meanings which can be dissected by studying owner, receiver, means of
transmission and the type of object itself. My approach employs material culture as a
means for enriching current knowledge of a particularly under-researched subject: the
female consort

Journalism and Literature in the book News of a kidnapping from Gabriel Garcia Marquez
No full textThe present study analyzes the book Notícia de um Sequestro (1996), which was written by the Colombian writer and journalist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The relevance of this work for the study is in the fact that it uses Literature and Journalism in its narration. This literary genre makes a journalistic fact turns into a surrounding and humanized narrative making the by means of mixing journalism and fiction. The research focus on this book with the aim to investigate how the author used the journalistic and literary language and how both helped to develop this plot, in which he tells the kidnapping of ten journalists and relatives of influent politicians in Colombia by the Extraditable group, a group of drug traffickers who were led by Pablo Escobar, who feared the extradition to the United States. Garcia Marquez book contributed to demystify the story known as official by the government and the meadia of communication of that time. The applied methodology was the bibliographic research which was fulfilled by t to understand how he used Literary Journalism in other moments of his career. Besides other were used to treat about the aspects related to the narrative, Lopes (2010) who elucidates the distinctions between journalistic and literary genres, Barbosa (2007) who articulates about Journalism and Literature and finally some authors like Gilard (2006), Gardner (1995) and Silva (1990) who were important to explain how Garcia Marquez used these two trends in his previous works. The result of the analysis is the confirmation that the author was successful when he joined Journalism and Literature in a way that both, despite their specificities, can complement each other to build it and reaffirm this literary genre.O presente estudo analisa o livro Notícia de um Sequestro (1996), do ficcionista colombiano Gabriel García Márquez. A relevância da obra para este trabalho está no fato de ela fazer uso da Literatura e do Jornalismo em seu relato. Esse gênero literário transforma um fato jornalístico em uma narrativa envolvente, humanizada, deixando os leitores enredados com a trama das personagens e narradoras de suas histórias, ao misturar jornalismo e ficção. A pesquisa se atém a essa obra com o objetivo de investigar de que maneira o autor fez uso da linguagem jornalística e literária e como ambas o auxiliaram para desenvolver este enredo, no qual ele narra o sequestro de dez jornalistas e parentes de políticos influentes na Colômbia pelos Extraditáveis, grupo de narcotraficantes liderados por Pablo Escobar, que temiam a extradição para os Estados Unidos. A obra de Gabriel García Márquez contribuiu para A metodologia aplicada nesta dissertação foi a pesquisa bibliográfica realizada por meio de diversas leituras, além da fortuna crítica do autor, fundamental para a compreensão sobre como ele se valeu do Jornalismo Literário em outros momentos da sua carreira. Além de outros pesquisadores, foram empregadas as teorizações de Ijuim (2010) para tratar dos aspectos relacionados à narrativa, Lopes (2010) que esclarece as distinções entre os gêneros jornalístico e literário, Barbosa (2007) que articula sobre o Jornalismo e a Literatura e, finalmente, autores como Gilard (2006), Gardner (1995) e Silva (1990) importantes para explanar como García Márquez utilizou essas duas vertentes em suas obras anteriores. O resultado da análise é a constatação de que o autor conseguiu unir Jornalismo e Literatura de uma forma em que ambos apesar de suas especificidades se complementam e precisam um do outro para construir a narrativa de forma que ela reafirme esse gênero literário
Qualidade técnica e reparo periapical em retratamentos endodônticos : estudo observacional
No full textIntrodução: Retratamentos endodônticos apresentam maior complexidade técnica e piores prognósticos quando comparados ao tratamento endodôntico inicial. Nesse contexto, uma investigação mais detalhada em relação aos fatores que afetam a exiquibilidade de se obter qualidade técnica satisfatória e reparo periapical é necessária. Técnicas empregadas para mineração de dados são pouco exploradas na área da Odontologia, ainda que apresentem potencial em contribuir com a descoberta do conhecimento. No presente estudo, padrões e fatores de risco relacionados à qualidade técnica e ao reparo periapical de retratamentos endodônticos foram investigados. Árvores de decisão foram geradas, sendo essa técnica complementada pela análise estatística convencional. Metodologia: Este estudo observacional incluiu 321 indivíduos com indicação de retratamento endodôntico atendidos por alunos de especialização em Endodontia. Foram coletados dados demográficos, referentes a história médica, ao diagnóstico, ao tratamento e a controles pós-operatórios, os quais foram transferidos para uma base de dados eletrônica. Após o preparo e pré-processamento de dados, foram selecionadas 32 variáveis independentes e 2 variáveis dependentes, as quais compreenderam os desfechos qualidade técnica do retratamento e reparo periapical. Estatísticas descritivas foram conduzidas a fim de determinar a frequência de dados ausentes, a distribuição das variáveis categóricas e a média e desvio-padrão de variáveis numéricas. Foram geradas árvores de decisão para a determinação de padrões relacionados aos desfechos, através do software de mineração de dados Weka (Waikato Environment of Knowledge Analysis, University of Waikato, New Zealand). Análises estatísticas convencionais foram conduzidas com auxílio do Software SPSS (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), a fim de determinar fatores que poderiam interferir nos referidos desfechos. Resultados: Após o retratamento endodôntico, qualidade técnica satisfatória e reparo periapical foram obtidos em 65,20% e em 80,50% dos casos, respectivamente. A qualidade técnica do retratamento endodôntico foi afetada por vários fatores de risco, incluindo curvatura radicular severa (p < 0,001) e alterações na morfologia do canal radicular (p = 0,002). As árvores de decisão sugeriram padrões que combinam a ocorrência simultânea de raízes retas e reabsorções radiculares apicais com resultados tecnicamente insatisfatórios. O diâmetro da lesão periapical (p = 0,018), o grupo dentário (p = 0,015) e a presença de reabsorções apicais (p = 0,024) apresentaram associação significativa com o insucesso de retratamentos endodônticos. A análise de mineração de dados sugeriu que lesões periapicais extensas e qualidade da obturação insatisfatória no tratamento endodôntico inicial, apresentam mecanismos de interação entre a infecção intracanal e a resposta do hospedeiro que não foram totalmente elucidados, sendo necessários estudos complementares. Conclusão: Qualidade técnica satisfatória é afetada por diversos fatores de risco, entre eles, a presença de curvaturas radiculares severas e alterações na morfologia do canal radicular. A localização dos acidentes de procedimento exerce influência na obtenção da qualidade técnica. Fatores como o diâmetro da lesão periapical, o grupo dentário e as reabsorções radiculares apicais mostraram-se significativamente associados ao insucesso de retratamentos endodônticos.Introduction: Non-surgical root canal retreatment presents higher technical complexity and poor prognosis compared to primary endodontic treatment. Within this context, a more detaild investigation on the factors affecting the feasibilty of achieving technical quality and periapical healing in teeth presenting secondary root canal infection is needed. Data mining approach is still little explored in the dentistry field, regardless of its potential to contribute to knowledge discovery. In the present study decision trees were complemented by conventional statistical analysis aiming to investigate patterns and risk factors related to technical quality and healing outcomes in non-surgical root canal retreatment. Methods: This observational study included 321 consecutive patients presenting for non-surgical root canal retreatment. Patients were treated by postgraduate students, following standard protocols. Data concerning demographic, medical, diagnostic, treatment and follow-up variables were transferred to an eletronic chart database (ECD). After data preprocessing and preparation a total of 32 independent variables and 2 dependent variables were defined. Basic statistics were tabled and provided the frequency of missing values, the distribution of categorical attributes and the mean and standard deviation values of numeric attributes. Decision trees were generated to predict patterns related to technical quality (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) and periapical healing (healed /failure), using J48 classification algorithm in Weka data mining software (Waikato Environment of Knowledge Analysis, University of Waikato, New Zealand). Statistical tests were performed using SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Univariate and multivariate analytic methods were used to determine factors affecting endodontic retreatment technical quality and periapical healing. Results: After endodontic retreatment, technical outcome was satisfactory in 65.20%, and periapical healing was observed in 80.50% of the cases. Technical quality of endodontic retreatment was affected by several risk factors, including severity of root curvature (p < 0.001) and altered root canal morphology (p = 0.002). The decision trees suggested that patterns that combine straight root curvature and apical root resorption may prevent satisfactory technical outcomes. Periapical lesion area (p = 0.018), tooth type (p = 0.015) and apical resorption (p = 0.024) were shown to be significantly associated with endodontic retreatment failure. Data mining analysis suggested that large periapical lesions, as well as poor root filling quality in the initial endodontic treatment, present mechanisms that are not fully understood with regards to the interaction between intracanal infection and host response, which should be further investigated. Conclusions: Technical quality of endodontic retreatment is affected by several risk factors, including severity of root curvature and altered root canal morphology. The occurence of procedure accidents is especially relevant in the apical third of the roots, affecting the technical quality. Periapical lesion area, tooth type and apical resorption were shown to be significantly associated with endodontic retreatment failure

Der Verfasser untersucht Keramikscherben, die sich in einem ehemaligen Brunnen fanden, der gegen Ende des Mittelalters zugeschiittet und als Schuttabladeplatz verwendet wurde ; acht stratigraphische Einheiten konnten ermittelt werden. Der Autor schlägt unter Anwendung von typologischen Kriterien vor, einerseits das XV. Jh., andererseits das beginnende XVI. Jh. als Entstehungszeit dieser Keramikscherben zu bestimmen. Eine zusammenfassende Übersicht der Formen läßt ihre Entwicklung während der Auffüllphasen erkennen.Bruna Maccari-Poisson : A rubbish pit from the Late Middle Ages in the Saint-Jean quarter of Lyon.
The author examines pottery found in an ancient well, filled in towards the end of the Middle Ages and then converted into a rubbish pit, in which eight stratigraphie units have been identified. Using typological criteria, the author proposes to date some of the pottery to the fifteenth century, and the rest to the early sixteenth century. A table recapitulating their forms, makes their evolution through the in filling of the pit very clear.L'auteur étudie un lot de céramiques trouvées dans un ancien puits comblé vers la fin du Moyen Age et converti en dépotoir, dans lequel huit unités stratigraphiques ont été reconnues.

ENDODONTIC MANAGEMENT OF A FIRST LOWER PREMOLAR WITH 3 CANALS: A CASE REPORT
No full textThis study aimed to report the endodontic management of a mandibular first premolar with three canals and independent foramina. In most cases, premolars present a single and broad root canal. However, mandibular first premolars may present variations in morphology and in number of root canals, which increases the endodontic treatment complexity. The tooth presented a trifurcation in the middle third and three distinct canals with independent foramina. Endodontic treatment was performed with the aid of an operating microscope. Cone beam computed tomography and operative microscope were essential to establish the correct diagnosis given the mandibular premolar anatomic variation. Thus, the association of these two tools facilitated a proper endodontic management, increasing the chances of success

Geological and structural map of the southeastern Pag Island, Croatia: field constraints on the Cretaceous - Eocene evolution of the Dinarides foreland
No full textThe sedimentary succession exposed in the Northern Dalmatia Islands mainly consists of Cretaceous to Neogene shallow water carbonates, folded and imbricated within the External Dinarides thrust belt. During Cretaceous times, carbonate sediments were deposed on a heterogeneous, tectonically-influenced carbonate platform, which was then uplifted and eroded, as evidenced by a regional unconformity embracing the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene. Sedimentation resumed during the Eocene, when the area was part of the foreland basin of the Dinaric belt. With our geological and structural map of the southeastern Pag Island at the 1:25,000 scale, we refined the stratigraphic and structural setting and the tectono- sedimentary evolution of the area.Applied Geolog
