Full textOrthodontic treatment has the ability to improve the aesthetics and the function of patients. In order to create space, orthodontic treatment often requires removal of teeth. The most common teeth removed for orthodontic treatment are the premolars. It has become popular to remove second premolars in certain cases where the soft tissue profile should not be altered. The Damon self-ligating orthodontic system is renowned for not requiring dental extractions in the majority of cases. The effect of extractions on the soft tissue profile of patients, in conjunction with using the Damon system, has therefore not been researched. It is important to understand the effect that orthodontic treatment and extractions can have on the soft tissue profile of patients. This effect can accurately be determined by making use of the soft tissue cephalometric analysis, developed by Dr Reed A. Holdaway in 1983.

Full textAs opposed to the current difinitions of referntial chains meant as "series of the coreferntial terms of a text", the concept of chain will be defined on the basis of numerial (with a minimum of three links) and lexical criteria. In fact, typically, referential chains are mainly composed of pronouns, the pronoun being considered as the unmarked anaphoric form. By way of contrasts the full nps indicate a "referential incident". This being so we must distinguish the phenomenon of "repetition" or more exactly the case when the refernt is redenominated by the term wich it was introduced in the text. In fact, redenomination presents a stable referential tie-point (it makes the cognitive process easier) and an indispensable one (the referent might have been "disactivated" because it has not been reinstantiated within a given interval or because it has been supplanted by a competitor or because ambiguity might be possible). As a matter of fact redenomination looks like the most suitable "landmark" for referential chains : it would tell the reader that the could leave ther former statements made about the referent out of account and that he would have to could re-acquire it in the context of a new situation. Redenomination marks the re-starting of a new referential chain. The analysis of the sequencing of the proper name in multi-as well in monoreferential saliency situations - and in the latter case on the macro-structural, same and across sentence levels confirms this

Full textNo previous study has addressed the question of prognostic determinants for patients with Chagas? cardiomyopathy at the terminal stage listed for heart transplantation. Casuistic and Method: All patients listed for heart transplantation at our institution from August, 2000 to March, 2005 were considered for the study. Patients removed from the waiting list for clinical status improvement were excluded from the investigation. Patients were followed until death, cardiac transplantation or the end of the study period. Cardiac transplant recipients were censored at the time of transplantation. No patient was lost to follow up. A Cox regression hazards model was used to establish independent predictors of all-cause mortality. Variables previously demonstrated to predict mortality in either Chagas or non-Chagas? disease heart failure were entered the univariate analysis. Separate analyses were performed for Chagas and non-Chagas? disease patients. Results: Median follow up was 32 (15,121) days in Chagas disease and 79 (14,151) days in non-Chagas? disease patients. In Chagas disease patients, the hemodynamic instability (p=0.01; hazard ratio=0,077, 95% confidence interval, 0.01 to 0.58) as well as the transpulmonary gradient (p=0.02; hazard ratio=1.15, 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 1.30) were retained as independent predictors of all-cause mortality. Serum sodium levels (p=0.002; hazard ratio=0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.71 to 0.93) was independent predictor of all-cause mortality for non-Chagas? disease patients. Conclusion: The hemodynamic instability and transpulmonary gradient were independent predictors of all-cause mortality for Chagas? disease patients listed for heart transplantation. A larger, prospective cohort study is needed to validate our findings.
At? agora nenhum estudo preocupou-se em estabelecer determinantes progn?sticos para pacientes com insufici?ncia card?aca cr?nica terminal secund?ria ? cardiomiopatia da doen?a de Chagas na fila de espera para transplante card?aco. Casu?stica e M?todo: Todos os pacientes alocados em fila de espera de transplante card?aco em nossa institui??o, de agosto de 2000 a mar?o de 2005, foram inicialmente considerados para o estudo. Os pacientes que foram removidos da lista de espera em virtude de melhora no estado cl?nico foram retirados do estudo. Os pacientes foram acompanhados at? a morte, transplante card?aco ou a data final estipulada para o estudo. Os pacientes receptores de transplante de cora??o foram retirados do estudo na data em que o ato operat?rio ocorreu. N?o se perdeu contato com os pacientes durante o acompanhamento cl?nico enquanto na fila de espera de transplante card?aco. O modelo de an?lise de riscos proporcionais de Cox foi utilizado para se estabelecer vari?veis de predi??o independentes de mortalidade geral. As vari?veis que eram capazes de predizer mortalidade geral em pacientes com insufici?ncia card?aca cr?nica secund?ria ? cardiomiopatia da doen?a de Chagas ou a outras cardiomiopatias foram utilizadas no modelo univariado. An?lises univariadas foram feitas nos pacientes chag?sicos e n?o chag?sicos separadamente. Resultados: A mediana do tempo de acompanhamento cl?nico foi 32 (15, 121) dias nos pacientes chag?sicos e 79 (14, 151) dias nos pacientes n?o chag?sicos. Nos pacientes chag?sicos, a instabilidade hemodin?mica (p=0,01; raz?o de risco=0,077, intervalo de confian?a de 95% entre 0,01 e 0,58) e o gradiente transpulmonar (p=0,02; raz?o de risco =1,15, intervalo de confian?a de 95% entre 1,02 e 1,30) foram as vari?veis de predi??o independentes de mortalidade geral. Os n?veis s?ricos de s?dio (p=0,002; raz?o de risco =0,81; intervalo de confian?a de 95% entre 0,71 e 0,93) foi a vari?vel de predi??o independente para os pacientes n?o chag?sicos na fila de espera para transplante card?aco.

Full textUntil recently in Lithuanian archaeological researches the biggest attention was paid to the material and spiritual culture. In recent years, the interest is growing in social and demographic processes which are reflected by burial data. The researches are aggravated because of material fragmentation, consequently chronological and territorial margins of topic explored are wide. Not all cemeteries and data of them allow to draw conclusions.
Nguyen, Nho Gia Hien. "The role of the microstructure in granular material instability." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSEI062/document.
Full textGranular materials consist of dense pack of solid grains and a pore-filling element such as a fluid or a solid matrix. The grains interact via elastic repulsion, friction, adhesion and other surface forces. External loading leads to grain deformations as well as cooperative particle rearrangements. The particle deformations are of particular importance in many industry applications and research subjects, such as powder metallurgy and soil mechanics. The response of granular materials to external loading is complex, especially in case when failure occurs: the mode of the failure can be diffuse or localized, and the development of specimen pattern can be drastically different when the specimen can no longer sustain external loading. In this thesis, a thorough numerical analysis based on a discrete element method is carried out to investigate the macroscopic and microscopic behavior of granular materials when a failure occurs. The numerical simulations include the vanishing of the second-order work instability criterion to detect failure. Furthermore, it is proved that the vanishing of second-order work coincides with the change from a quasi-static regime to a dynamic regime in the response of the specimen. Then, microstructure evolution is investigated. Evolution of force-chains and grain-loops are investigated during the deformation process until reaching the failure. The second-order work is once again taken into account to elucidate the local aspect that governs the failure, taking place at the particle scale. The collapse of the discrete specimen when it turns from quasi-static to dynamic regime is accompanied with a burst in kinetic energy. This rise of kinetic energy occurs when the internal stress cannot balance with the external loading when a small perturbation is added to the boundary, resulting in a difference between the internal and external second-order works of the system. The mesostructures have a symbiosis relationship with each other and their evolution decides the macroscopic behavior of the discrete system. The distribution of the collapse of force-chain correlates with the vanishing of the second-order work at the grain scale. The mesostructures play an important role in the instability of granular media. The second-order work can be used as an effective criterion to detect the instability of the system on both the macroscale and microscale (grain scale)

Full textThis work, done within the framework of a FUI project (ConProMi), endeavoured to study the mechanisms involved within amorphous polymers during the replication of micro-parts by microinjection moulding. A specific mould called “La Rotonde” has been developed to realise parts with variable thicknesses, and to follow the local pressure and temperature conditions during the moulding phase. The in-situ measurements show that the polymer flow is greatly affected by the cavity thickness, in the particular case of cyclic olefin copolymer (COC). Indeed, the pressure drops dP increases with the thickness e and respect a power law, through the expression dP~e^a. The extrapolation to lower thicknesses gives a physical limit for the manufacturing of micro-parts by injection moulding, known empirically in the plastic industry. The moulding of a 0,19mm thick part (or aspect ratio upper than 45) is impossible due to the pressure drops involved. Therefore, “La Rotonde”, as an internal rheometer, allows measuring the COC viscosity under real process conditions, integrating the material compressibility. A focus has been made for the smaller parts (0,27mm thick) to study the mechanisms involved within the polymer flow. Higher viscosities and shear stresses are found for this cavity, and close to the values corresponding to the appearance of wall-slip phenomenon at the interface between the polymer and the cavity. A morphological analysis of short-shots reveals the presence of multiple secondary flows close to the injection gate, creating weld-lines. This phenomenon is clearly broadened with decreasing thicknesses, but it seems to disappear away from the injection gate. Therefore, this original result show that the classical fountain flow, used to describe the polymer flow behaviour, is not sufficient in the case of polymer flows within micro-cavities. As a consequence, each sample's morphology has been studied and related to the physical properties of COC. A specific analysis of the local birefringence has been developed in order to quantify the residual internal stresses. The internal stresses profiles normal to the flow direction are parabolic for all the samples, and the levels of maximum stresses reached increases with reducing thickness. The dynamic mechanical properties are history-dependent according to the former thermomechanical conditions. The elastic properties tend to increase together with the density when the thickness decreases, partly explained by the enhancement of the cooling rates. The differences observed for the molecular mobility of the macromolecular chains have been correlated to physical ageing and/or at the presence of structural defects during the moulding phase. With regards to the results observed, some recommendations are drawn regarding the optimization of the process conditions for the manufacturing of parts by micro-injection moulding. At last, different solutions are given to overcome the physical limitation to produce micro-parts, like controlling the wall-slip phenomenon at the interface between polymer and cavity or compounding new polymers with specific rheological behaviours

Full textThe present dissertation analyses the phenomenon of tourism of second residency under the prism of Human Geography and the history of the city of Praia Grande and its insertation in tourism, production of space and second residency. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the historic process of Praia Grande´s urbanization since the time it was still a neighborhood of São Vicente and understand how the production of space has occurred supported by the second residency. The methodological procedure used has searched to understand the facts, public politics and actions that led this city to transformation, growing and development since the beginning of last century until today. The results of this research has shown how tourism activity appears in this city, which is part of the Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista (RMBS) that nowadays is being the target of many segments of the society such as civil construction, planning, investment, business and other ones. In this way, we have verified an abrupt growing and development of this city with paisagistic changes and improvements in its infra-structure that all together brought new resources and investments to this paulistan medium sized city.

Full textEsta tesis evaluó la dinámica del crecimiento radial a diferentes escalas temporales y determinó su relación con el clima y la sequía en dos bosques secos tropicales de Colombia (Tuluá) y Bolivia (INPA). A escalas intra-anuales se encontró que: (i) la reactivación del cambium y el crecimiento del xilema ocurre durante la época húmeda del año en ambos bosques. Esto refleja la influencia de las altas precipitaciones y los valores positivos del balance hídrico atmosférico en el desarrollo de las nuevas células del xilema. (ii) El período de crecimiento en Tuluá estuvo asociado a temperaturas bajas y, por ende, a un déficit de presión del vapor (DPV) bajo, mientras que en INPA la estación de crecimiento estuvo asociada a valores altos de temperatura y DPV. Sin embargo, en ambos sitios de estudio, las temperaturas altas registradas a lo largo del día afectaron negativamente el incremento radial a escalas horarias. Las especies pueden hacer frente a estas condiciones adversas, por ejemplo, restringiendo el crecimiento a períodos del día que registren temperaturas bajas, ya que la pérdida de agua asociada a la evapotranspiración también sería baja. A escalas inter-anuales se determinó que: (i) el crecimiento radial de todas las especies de INPA presentó una asociación positiva con la precipitación y el balance hídrico atmosférico y una relación negativa con la temperatura. Esto indica que todas las especies comparten una señal común de la variabilidad del crecimiento en respuesta al clima local. No obstante, la fuerza de la respuesta fue especie-específica. Esto indica que existe una sensibilidad diferencial entre las especies al clima. (ii) El crecimiento radial de todas las especies de INPA respondió positivamente al balance hídrico atmosférico durante la estación húmeda, pero esa respuesta fue diferente entre las especies en función de la densidad de la albura. La densidad de la albura fue negativamente relacionada a la variabilidad del crecimiento explicada por el balance hídrico. (iv) Las especies de INPA fueron resilientes a las sequías de corto plazo (estación seca anual), mientras que el crecimiento fue particularmente sensible a las sequías de larga duración (sequías multi-anuales), excepto en las especies con alta densidad de la albura.

Abstract Since 1949, two sides of Taiwan Straits have experienced different phases on the relations across the Taiwan Straits. However, after several transitions of PRC’s policies, PRC never gives up her attempt to attack Taiwan by military force. Based on the concerns of people and country, and wishes for ensuring Taiwan’s national security, I hope to look into the development of PLA’s military strategic thinking, get a deeper understanding about its impacts on Taiwan’s national defense, and make concrete plans to enhance Taiwan’s national security. Historical approach combined with Policy analysis approach is adopted in this research, while Index analytical method and Comparative method are utilized in the paper. The paper consisted of four main sections: looking into the factors influencing PLA’s strategic thinking on attacking Taiwan, analyzing the impacts of Second Gulf War on PLA, probing into how the changes of PLA’s strategic thinking influence Taiwan, and in light of its influence on Taiwanese defense, investigating how Taiwanese military should respond in concrete actions. In this research, I firstly analyzed the factors that have influenced PLA’s strategic thinking about attacking Taiwan. In international factors, changes of international strategic environment, development of revolution in military affairs, the current research and development of defense technology and anticipations of how foreign military intervention would occur were discussed. As for PRC factors, national security strategies, inheritance of strategic culture, domestic political and economic situations, and PLA military force development were included. When it comes to factors related to Taiwan, the characteristics of the military strategy across Taiwan Straits, Taiwanese people and military’s morale and will to resist, the strategic conceptions of Taiwanese military, and development of Taiwanese fighting power. Secondly, I looked into the impacts of 2003 Second Gulf War on PLA military strategic thinking. The research procedure started with reviewing the occurrence of the war, analyzed the modes and characteristics of this war, and investigated its influences and inspirations on PLA, such as “lagging behind leaves one vulnerable to attacks”. Subsequently I analyzed the significant changes of PLA’s strategic thinking on attacking Taiwan. In this paper, I discovered that PLA encountered shocks after first and second Gulf war, and then made obvious adjustments on its strategic thinking. Therefore, I divided the time from 1949 to US-Iraq War into three time periods: Pre-Gulf War (from 1949 to 1990), after First Gulf War (from 1991 to 2002), and after Second Gulf War (after 2003). The changes of strategic thinking that PLA made after Second Gulf War definitely influenced Taiwan’s defense and military operation. In this paper, I made an in-depth analysis about how Taiwanese military should respond to the changes of PLA strategic thinking, based on military conception, martial preparation, and educational training. According to this research, PRC never gives up her martial preparation against Taiwan, and her strategic thinking of attacking Taiwan has changed. Under PRC’s gradually-intensifying threats against Taiwan, Taiwan needs realize the importance to paddle her own canoe in the war. Postemptive strike strategy and strong will to resist enemy are the sharpest weapons to depend Taiwan. Unsymmetrical battle gives Taiwan an opportunity to fight against PRC, and army is the army branch in the decisive battle. Besides, early warning and combat strength reservation are the keys to success. On the basis of the analysis mentioned in the chapters and sections above, there are five suggestions summarized in this paper: At first, strengthen the national defense education, and reinforce military and civilian’s will to resist against enemy. Secondly, establish strategies to fight alone in the war, and eliminate the expectations of external military assistance. Third, learn from your enemy—find out PLA’s innovations and strengths. Fourth, support military research and strengthen military theoretical basis. Fifth, enhance the educational investment on military academies and cultivate professional talents.

The tea industry in Taiwan became a very important one in the late Ching Dynasty. Then during the period of Japanese governance, the industry began to commercialize. After the Second World War, the Taiwan government also helped developed the tea industry positively. At the time, tea accounted for a rather great proportion among all kinds of processed agricultural products exported to other countries, and it also helped earned a massive foreign exchange for the Taiwan government. The saying “Southern Sugar, Northern Tea” was therefore well-known to every Taiwanese. The tea industry indeed plays a very important part in the history of economy and agriculture in Taiwan Although there are plenty of researches on the tea industry in Taiwan already, yet, there is little research into the great changes of the tea industry in Taiwan after the Second World War, such as the changes of the growing areas, of the size of manufactories, and of the sale market. Therefore, this research is trying to cover all the above aspects and to discuss the developments and changes of the tea industry in Taiwan after the Second World War. There are four chapters of this research. Chapter 1 describes the developments and changes of the production of the tea, revealing the environmental elements for tea in Taiwan, the distribution changes of the tea plantations (decrease in the north and growth in the south), the amelioration of tea strains, and all the possible causes of these changes and developments. Chapter 2 discusses the developments and changes of the manufacturing of tea, analyzing the size, the amount, and the distribution of the tea manufactories and the improvement of the technology as well. Chapter 3 presents the amounts of tea export and the changes of exporting and domestic markets and marketing techniques. The causes of the changes are also included here. Chapter 4 processes the ways toward the long-term management of the tea industry in Taiwan after joining WTO, the solutions to pesticides problems, as well as how to achieve safe productions of tea and how to promote Taiwanese tea.

Background:Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness and antipsychotics have been the mainstay of treatment. However, the subsequent adverse effects, noncompliance and poor drug response lead the treatment liable to be discontinued. Previous evidence has shown that the behavioral and brain morphology changes to a degree after discontinuation of antipsychotics in schizophrenia patients, leaves the question whether the neurochemical substrates would be altered after discontinuation of antipsychotics. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between behavioral and neurochemical changes after discontinuation of quetiapine, a second generation antipsychotic (SGA) in a schizophrenia-like animal model. Materials and Methods:Social isolated SD rats were chosen in the present study because the inferior prepulse inhibition (PPI) of these rats represents an impairment of sensorimotor gating function seen in schizophrenia patients. Rats were experienced a scheduled drugged regime (administration, discontinuation and re-administration) in which their PPI and locomotor activity will be measured across the regime. Further, the levels of tissue/extracellular fluid dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT) were analyzed by HPLC in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and striatum. Finally, the ratio of DA receptor 1 and 2 (D2/D1) expression were examined by western blot. Result:The discontinuation of quetiapine disrupted the PPI and rats were more hyperactive with altered protein expression of central monoamines and DA receptors. Furthermore, we also found the longer re-administration of quetiapine successfully reversed the isolation-rearing induced PPI impairment. Conclusion:Long-term medication and discontinuation of quetiapine led to distinctive behavioral and neurochemical changes of isolation-reared rats. These data may help interpret the longitudinal drug effect of SGA in clinical schizophrenia patients and also justify the importance of the adherence of antipsychotics.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of two kinds of teaching English phonics songs and chants on elementary school students’ phonological awareness and word recognition. In addition, the relationship between phonological awareness and word recognition was explored as well. Moreover, students’ attitude toward English learning and their expectations to the teaching were further probed after the instruction. The subjects of the study included 50 students of two second-grade classes in an elementary school of southern Taiwan. During 10-week study of English phonics songs and chants instructions, the two classes were respectively labeled as an experimental group (EG receiving the explicit instruction) and a controlled group (CG receiving the implicit instruction). In addition, students’ pre-instruction and post-instruction performances on phonological awareness and word recognition were compared and analyzed. Finally, the questionnaire on student responses to the phonics songs and chants instruction was administered to the subjects of EG. Their responses and expectations were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the data analyses, the results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. There was no significant difference in the performance of phonological awareness between the experimental group and the controlled group. It infers that both implicit instruction and explicit instruction are beneficial to students’ performance of phonological awareness since both groups showed progress in posttests. 2. There was a significant difference in the performance of word recognition between the experimental group and the controlled group. It reveals that the explicit instruction has significant effects on students’ performance of word recognition. 3. The result of experimental group’s performance of phonological awareness after the explicit instruction showed a significant difference. 4. The result of experimental group’s performance of word recognition after the explicit instruction exhibited a significant difference. 5. In the experimental group, students’ performances of phonological awareness and word recognition were significantly related in the experimental group. 6. The results of the post-instruction questionnaire showed that most of the students in the experimental group gave positive responses to the explicit phonics songs and chants instruction. Based on the findings, the researcher suggested teachers apply explicit phonics songs and chants instruction to activate the students’ interest in English learning.

This study was using three cluster analyses, Hierarchical Clustering, Partitioning Around Medoids, Self-Organizing Maps and Temporal Maps to find out the temporal changes of marine fish community based on the impingement data collected at the first and the Second Nuclear Power Plant in Taiwan from September 2000 to August 2010. The species Alectis ciliaris, Lobotes surinamensis, Sardinella gibbosa, Sardinella hualiensis, Trachurus japonicus, and Tylosurus acus melanotus, etc. have been decreasing in individual number in recent years from the results of cluster analysis. Those decreasing species were mainly with higher economic values, so the result might reflect the declination in our fishery resources due to overfishing. Most of the decreasing species belonged to the group of species that mostly appeared in warm months from the results of cluster analysis. Also, from the results of temporal maps, there were groups disappeared in recent years. Those disappeared groups contained mainly the species that mostly appeared in warm months. The reasons why the species that mostly appeared in warm months have been decreasing in recent years need to be found out.

This dissertation starts with general examining current operations and changes on the wholesale market of vegetables and fruits. Secondly, analyzes and summarizes the possible development directions in the large-scale wholesale market of vegetables and fruits, namely the Second Wholesale Market in Taipei (SWMT). This study produces three findings. The first finding is that about the Business for products collection circle (including the mid-range and the long-range production areas) of the large-scale wholesale market, such as the Second Wholesale Market in Taipei (SWMT) significantly outward expanding. The expansion of products collection circle is positively correlated with increase of the amount and ratio of nationwide products collection. It also finds that about the economics for the Second Wholesale Market in Taipei (SWMT)’s supply capacity and ratio of gradually increased since early 1990s. Thirdly, in light of the population increase that leads to the expansion of urbanization, the distribution capacity for wholesale market is also advanced. In turn, about the market structure - conduct - performance that other similar large-scale wholesale markets are likely to follow suit and develop towards an “open-area wholesale market."

Full textThis thesis provides an overview of obstetrics and gynaecology in Australia from 1950 to 2010. The author was an active member of the discipline over that timeframe and draws on his professional experience during the period under review as one of the tools to shape a historical analysis and interpretation of the complexities and significance of change. The care of women is seen as critical to the survival of humanity but many historians do not give this subject a high priority. This thesis seeks to remedy that deficiency by providing a detailed review of the discipline during the marked increase in knowledge in medicine after World War Two, which resulted in a dramatic improvement in safety for mothers and babies. It also includes a detailed outline of the life-saving advances in the discipline over the past 60 years. The thesis also documents the impact of a rapidly changing Australian society on the discipline and its practitioners, by analysing the historical background of their education and training, and the necessary adjustments in mindset and practice of the older generations to the confronting social and cultural issues of the 1960s and beyond. Many of the controversies explored have a long history, and include the background of role delineation in the discipline, the increasing impact of legal issues, the feminist debate, the changing site of delivery, and interventions in obstetrics. But the growing awareness of ethical dilemmas, obligatory continuing professional development and bureaucratic intrusion into practice needed inclusion. A focus of the thesis is the manner in which all these issues affected the region where the author spent his practising life, illustrated by graphs, diagrams and private files acquired over that period. The thesis should be a valuable resource for historians and others interested in the medical care of women and their babies in Australia during the second half of the 20th Century.

Full textCotidianamente los profesores se hacen esta pregunta: ¿cómo pueden relacionarse mis estudiantes con la lección? Saben que si los estudiantes pudieran acoplarse con el contenido de la lección, entenderían y aprenderían con gran eficacia. En la mayoría de los distritos escolares urbanos de Indianapolis, Estados Unidos hay muchos estudiantes afroamericanos que están en clases de lengua extranjera que piensan que no existen atributos de conexión --como tradiciones y costumbres-- que tienen aspectos en común con sus propias culturas. Por otro lado, hay estudiantes afrolatinos que son nativos de esas lenguas pero a quienes no se les expone a elementos que pertenecen a su cultura o herencia. Esta investigación se enfocará en cómo los profesores pueden utilizar la poesía para enseñar una lengua extranjera; específicamente, cómo se puede utilizar la poesía afrocubana para vincular la lección a los estudiantes minoritarios y su cultura.
