Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Disserta����es: grau de utiliza����o pelos mestrandos do curso de Ci��ncia da Informa����o das Universidades P��blicas Brasileiras

A pesquisa aborda o uso das Tecnologias de Informa����o e Comunica����o, que vem revolucionando as atividades e ocasionando muitas mudan��as relacionadas ao acesso e uso de informa����es. O objetivo foi analisar o grau de utiliza����o do conhecimento cient��fico produzido pelos Programas de P��s-Gradua����o das Universidades P��blicas Brasileiras, atrav��s da BDTD, pelos mestrandos dos referidos programas. Nos procedimentos metodol��gicos realizados, procurou-se inicialmente analisar o amplo espectro da popula����o do corpus da pesquisa. Em raz��o da impossibilidade de trabalhar com os Programas de P��s-Gradua����o como um todo, optou-se por fazer um recorte, elegendo os cursos de P��s-Gradua����o em Ci��ncia da Informa����o, vez que estes representam o principal segmento social de interesse da pesquisa. Foi utilizado o m��todo de estudo de usu��rios, onde se optou por adotar o grupo, ���estudos orientados aos usu��rios���, que identifica as necessidades e comportamento de acesso e uso da informa����o. Para coletar os dados, elaborou-se um question��rio semi-estruturado com 25 quest��es, que versavam sobre o uso, dificuldades de acesso e recupera����o da informa����o, bem como a satisfa����o na utiliza����o dessa fonte informacional. Dentre os v��rios resultados obtidos, podemos destacar o fato de que a maioria dos mestrandos (71,8%) s�� teve contato com a BDTD somente no momento em que se encontrava cursando o mestrado e, somente 24,3%, tiveram contato durante a gradua����o. Estes resultados representam um problema, que pode afetar o bom desempenho do projeto BDTD, o qual consiste em disseminar e divulgar a produ����o cient��fica dos Programas de P��s-Gradua����o das Universidades P��blicas Brasileiras para a sua comunidade. Foi observado tamb��m, que os mestrandos oriundos do curso de Biblioteconomia tende a ter contato com a BDTD bem mais cedo do que mestrandos de outros cursos de gradua����o. A fim de minimizar o problema detectado, prop��e-se uma divulga����o mais eficaz na gradua����o atrav��s de dois procedimentos: Primeiro, o docente deve fazer uma divulga����o mais eficaz da BDTD junto aos discentes de todos os cursos de gradua����o; segundo: dever�� ser feita a divulga����o na m��dia eletr��nica, atrav��s da inser����o de ��cones da BDTD, nos portais dos Departamentos dos Cursos de Gradua����o das Universidades P��blicas Brasileiras. Acredita-se que com estes procedimentos seja poss��vel aperfei��oar o uso dessa fonte de informa����o cient��fica.

Panorama brasileiro das bibliotecas digitais de teses e disserta����es

As bibliotecas de teses e disserta����es t��m um papel fundamental para o desenvolvimento cient��fico e cultural de um pa��s. Nesse sentido, buscou-se, de modo geral, analisar o panorama brasileiro das bibliotecas digitais de teses e disserta����es. Especificamente, objetivou-se caracterizar a sociedade da informa����o enquanto contexto das BDTD; caracterizar os v��rios tipos de bibliotecas surgidos a partir da inser����o das novas tecnologias de informa����o e comunica����o; identificar as diretrizes norteadoras da implanta����o de BDTD; e levantar as BDTD existentes no Brasil. Para tato, al��m de levantamento bibliogr��fico, realizou-se uma pesquisa nos sites de institui����es de ensino superior brasileiras que j�� disp��e de bibliotecas digitais de teses e disserta����es em funcionamento. A an��lise e interpreta����o destes dados nos permite considerar que no Brasil as BDTD encontram-se num est��gio embrion��rio, sendo relevante pesquisar a hist��rica implanta����o e configura����o desse novo modelo de biblioteca.

Recorte dos produtos educacionais em hist��ria no ensino da matem��tica e em did��tica da matem��tica a partir das disserta����es e teses defendidas no brasil entre 1990-2010

This work has the main purpose of conducting a survey of educational products present in dissertations and doctoral theses focused on the use of history in mathematics teaching and Didactics of mathematics with a French foundation produced in graduate programs in the strict sense of the Brazil between 1990 and 2010, the areas of Education, Mathematics Education, school of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and related areas, according to the research proposal of Mendes (2010). Our interest was to select the products that present concrete proposals for educational activities that can be used in the classroom of Basic Education and Training of Teachers of Mathematics. The research was implemented through a bibliographic study documents the Bank of dissertations and theses from CAPES, libraries and archives of some Postgraduate programs in the country who focus their studies on the subject object of this research, besides the Brazilian Digital Library Theses and Dissertations (BDBTD). From this survey we selected works that present educational products materialized in blocks of activities based on the use of teaching history of mathematics to the classroom as well as the sequence of activities based on the Teaching of Mathematics. In possession of material, produce a CD-ROM containing the selected activities, in order to help support the work of teachers regarding the use of these activities, as a supplementary material to textbooks in their math classes

Avalia����o cl��nica e comparativa da oclus��o balanceada bilateral e desoclus��o com guia canino sobre a fun����o mastigat��ria de usu��rios de prótese total remov��vel

The maintenance of masticatory function is especially important for patients who wear complete dentures due to the limitations of this type of prosthesis. Thus, the bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) is used to achieve, besides other advantages, greater masticatory efficiency. However, analyzing critically the literature, it is observed that there is not enough scientific evidence that support the BBO as the most appropriate occlusal concept in complete dentures. This way, the purpose of the present study was to verify if complete dentures wearers with BBO present better masticatory efficiency and capacity than those with canine guidance (CG). A double-blind controlled crossover clinical trial was conducted. The sample was made of 24 completely edentulous patients. The subjects wore sets of complete dentures with both occlusal concepts for equal periods of 3 months. Objective data were collected through the masticatory efficiency test, performed by the colorimetric method, in which capsules of a synthetic material enclosing fuchsine- containing granules were used. Subjective data were recorded by patient��s ratings of their chewing function, which is the masticatory ability. No significant statistical difference was found for masticatory efficiency (p=0,0952) and masticatory ability (x2=0,5711/ p=0,4498) between the two occlusal concepts studied, as well as there was no correlation between these two variables (p=0,2985). Based on these results, it seems reasonable to use CG for the setup of complete dentures, since it is an easier and quicker technical procedure, until that future researches can come to complement this question

Qualidade de vida, efici��ncia mastigat��ria e presen��a de disfun����o temporomandibular em usu��rios de prótese parcial remov��vel com arco dental curto inferior

Even nowadays there is in Brasil a large number of edentulous and a precarious financial condition of most of the population. In addition, World Health Organization aims for oral health, which consists on the maintenance of a natural dentition, functional and aesthetic composed of at least 20 teeth, without need of prosthetic intervention throughout life. From this and considering the lack of researches about the permanence of edentulous spaces in the oral cavity, and also avoiding overtreatment, this research has been proposed. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the effect of different lengths of the shortened lower dental arch in the presence or absence of a removable partial denture (RPD) on masticatory function, quality of life and occurrence of temporomandibular dysfunction. To achieve this goal, we compared the masticatory efficiency (colorimetric test), the oral comfort through the analysis of the impact of oral health in quality of life (OHIP-14), the presence of temporomandibular dysfunction (RDC/TMD) and the general quality of life (WHOQOL) of patients with shortened dental arches (SDA) (n=60), which is an arch with a reduction of teeth starting posteriorly, and patients with complete dental arch (Complete DA) (n = 34). The group of patients whit SDA was divided among PPR wears (PPD + SDA) (n = 17) and non-wears (n = 43). The population of this study consisted on patients who received or looked for treatment at the clinics of the Department of Dentistry of UFRN, from clinical analysis and records. The sample was chosen by convenience. For statistical analysis, it was a database in SPSS 17.0, followed by descriptive analysis with frequencies, absolute values, tests of central tendency and variability. The statistical tests used were chi-squared and analysis of variance as well as Tukey s post test, when applicable, all with a 95% confidence level. The results shown a prevalence of TMD of 47,1% among patients using PRP and 69,8% among those who didn t, but this result wasn t statistically significant. The mean of the results of masticatory efficiency, WHOQOL and OHIP didn t show association to the presence or absence of PPR and to the lower number of occlusal units of the patients (0, 1, 2 or more occlusal). The association only occurred among the different groups of SDA and the patients with complete dental arch. Taking into account the results, it could be observed that studied patients with low posterior support using lower PRP didn t have better masticatory efficiency, general quality of life, less impacts of their oral conditions in quality of life or not even less temporomandibular dysfunction or better masticatory efficiency when compared to those who didn t use the prosthesis

An��lise comparativa na influ��ncia da t��cnica de moldagem funcional em arcos parcialmente ed��ntulos sobre os pontos de contato oclusais, a integridade da fibromucosa e a extens��o da base da prótese

There is a lack of clinical studies evaluating techniques of functional impression for partially edentulous arches. The aim of this double-blind non-randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare the efficacy of altered cast impression (ACI) and direct functional impression (DFI) techniques. The efficacy was evaluated regarding the number of occlusal units on denture teeth, mucosa integrity at 24-hour follow-up and denture base extension. The sample included 51 patients (female and male) with mean age of 58.96 years treated at Dental Department of UFRN. The patients, exhibiting edentulous maxilla and mandibular Kennedy class I, were divided into two groups (group ACI, n=29; group DFI, n=22). Clinical evaluation was based on the number of occlusal units on natural and/or artificial teeth, mucosa integrity at 24-hour follow-up, and denture base extension. Statistical analysis was conducted using the software SPSS 17.0�� (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois). Student T-test was used to reveal association between number of occlusal units and impression technique while chi-square test showed association between mucosa integrity and impression technique. Fischer s exact test was applied for association between denture base extension and impression technique at 95% level of significance. No significant difference was observed between the groups regarding number of occlusal units, mucosa integrity and denture base extension. The altered cast technique did not provide significant improvement in comparison to the direct technique when the number of occlusal units, mucosa integrity and denture base extension

Falhas e complica����es com o uso de prótese parcial remov��vel inferior de extremidade livre bilateral

Aim: To determine the frequency and type of complications related to removable partial denture (RPD) less, Kennedy Class I, over time . Materials and Methods: This observational study consisted of a sample of 65 users PPR lower arches in Kennedy Class I and dentures, rehabilitated in the Department of Dentistry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). Patients were followed through periodic controls during periods of 60 days, 6 months and 1 year from installation. After the first year of control had other returns annually. The occurrence of complications or prosthetic failure was observed and recorded in a specific clinical record over 39 months. The patterns of failures observed were classified in the following situations: occurrence of traumatic ulcers after 2 months of installation, lack of retention, fracture or caries in the rest, fracture or dislocation of the artificial teeth, the larger connector fracture, fracture clip fracture support, poor support (need to reline the denture) and prosthesis fracture. Results: The incidence of complications was low frequency, being higher in the second year of use of the prosthesis. Among the complications that occurred more is the loss of retention (31.57%). Failures more severe and difficult to solve as the fracture elements of the metal structure of the PPR had low occurrence and were represented by only one case of the larger connector (5.3%) fractures. Conclusion: Removable partial dentures mandibular free end opposing of the conventional dentures have a low complication rate after 39 months of use when subjected to periodic controls

Passividade na interface prótese/pilar intermedi��rio de infraestrutura implantossuportadas confeccionadas pela tecnologia CAD/CAM e m��todo convencional

The objective of this research was to evaluate the passivity and strain induced in infrastructures screwed on abutments, made by CAD/CAM technology, and to compare these samples with parts manufactured by conventional casting. Using CAD/CAM technology, 4 samples were made from zirconia (Zircad) and 4 samples were manufactured from cobaltchrome (CoCrcad). The control groups were 4 specimens of cobalt-chrome, made by onepiece casting (CoCrci), for a total of 12 infrastructures. To evaluate the passivity, the infraestructures were installed on the abutments. One end was tightened and the vertical gap between the infrastructure and the prosthetic abutment was measured with scanning electron microscopy (250��). The mean strain in these infrastructures was analyzed via the photoelasticity test. A significant difference (p = 0.000) in passivity was observed between the control (CoCrci) and sample groups (CoCrcad and CoCrci). CoCrcad exhibited the best value of passivity (48.76 �� 13.45 μm) and CoCrci the worst (187.55 �� 103.63 μm), Zircad presented an intermediate value (103.81 �� 43.15 μm). When compared to the other groups, CoCrci showed the highest mean strain around the implants (17.19 �� 7.22 kPa). It was concluded that the zirconia infrastructure made by CAD / CAM showed a higher vertical marginal misfit than those made in cobalt-chromium alloy with the same methodology, however, the tension generated in the implants was similar. The CAD/CAM technology is more accurate for passivity and mean strain of infrastructure screwed on abutments than conventional manufacturing techniques

Emprego de prótese intra-ocular de resina acr��lica. Estudo experimental em ratos

Foram eviscerados os globos oculares esquerdos de 32 ratos, linhagem Wistar, divididos em quatro grupos (A, B, C, D) constitu��dos, cada um, de cinco testemunhas e tr��s controles. Nos animais-testemunha introduziu-se, dentro da capa c��rneo-escleral, uma esfera de resina acr��lica (metilmetacrilato), previamente confeccionada e esterilizada por autoclavagem, ao passo que nos controles a cavidade eviscerada foi mantida sem prótese. Os ratos dos grupos A, B, C e D foram sacrificados respectivamente aos 7, 15, 30 e 90 dias de p��s-operat��rio, quando os conte��dos orbit��rios esquerdos foram exenterados e preparados para o exame histopatol��gico. Observou-se que os animais-testemunha tiveram resposta inflamat��ria do tipo tecido de granula����o ao redor da prótese de cavidade, com edema inflamat��rio da c��rnea especialmente nos grupos A e B, quando se iniciou a regress��o da inflama����o aguda. A cavidade orbit��ria manteve o tamanho em todos os grupos nos animais-testemunha e houve contra����o significativa nos animais-controle. Com estas observa����es, foi poss��vel concluir que a esfera de resina acr��lica �� uma op����o, de baixo custo e f��cil confec����o, para corre����o de defeito est��tico causado pela perda do globo ocular.

Avalia����o quantitativa das dimens��es ��culo-palpebrais em portadores de cavidade anoft��lmica em uso de prótese ocular externa

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar o posicionamento palpebral em portadores de cavidade anoft��lmica com e sem prótese ocular externa, utilizando o processamento de imagem digital. M��TODOS: Dezoito pacientes foram avaliados qualitativa e quantitativamente na Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu - Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, com e sem a prótese externa. Usando imagens obtidas por filmadora e processadas usando o programa Scion Image, mediu-se a altura do sulco palpebral superior, a altura da fenda palpebral e os ��ngulos palpebrais dos cantos interno e externo. RESULTADOS: Pseudo-estrabismo e sulco palpebral superior profundo foram as altera����es mais freq��entes ao exame externo. Houve diferen��a significativa em todas as vari��veis estudadas, com diminui����o da altura do sulco palpebral superior, aumento da ��rea da fenda palpebral e aumento dos ��ngulos palpebrais interno e externo quando o paciente estava usando a prótese externa. CONCLUS��O: Todos os pacientes avaliados apresentaram algum tipo de anormalidade ��rbito-palpebral, o que reflete a dificuldade em se proporcionar ao portador de cavidade anoft��lmica um aspecto id��ntico ao que existe na ��rbita normal. O processamento de imagens digitais permitiu avalia����o objetiva das dimens��es ��culo-palpebrais, o que poder�� contribuir nas avalia����es seq��enciais dos portadores de cavidade anoft��lmica.
