Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The author approaches the subject of translating for theatre both as a theatre practitioner and professional translator working in three languages. Translation is generally regarded as process of linguistic transfer from one language to another language in written form. Theatrical texts are an unique literary form because their written form is a base, anchor and springboard for the text in performance. Until recently, translation studies have tended to oscillate between lofty pronouncements which remain too general to be easily applicable to the practical task of translating and close textual analysis which may appear fastidious and overly specific. The art of translation has often wanted to call itself a science, thereby ostensibly increasing its credibility. However nowhere more in the context of theatre can it be justifiably called an art, with all that entails in terms of subjectivity, cultural bias and transitory or timeless validity. There is no such thing as a perfect translation. Translation is a process of endless learning. Several translation theorists have offered broad categorisations or lengthy rationalised lists to help define the parameters of this most tangible practice. No such lists exist which addressed the specific criteria of translation for theatre. Through personal experience and critical reflection, this thesis will offer the beginning of a blueprint which may be useful for translators working in this fieldMaster of Arts (Hons)(Performance)

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Medical spa in the Czech Republic has a long tradition. Spa treatment of children and adolescents has its position in the therapeutic process and shows very good results for the chronically ill children. Several changes of the conditions for thermal treatment of children and adolescents have occurred in the Czech legislation. They might affect its future development. The aim of thesis is to provide a comprehensive view on the Czech spa for children and adolescents, analyze its development in recent years, describe its main characteristics and to detect problems in Czech spa for children and adolescents. Spas for children and adolescents have been examined from the perspective of the balneologic institute, health Insurance, association of spas and from the perspective of parents of children. Balneologic institutes for children and adolescents will probably deal with problems in the next years and their further development will not be easy. Uneven capacity utilization, tightening of the rules for complex spa care, reducing length of stay, less repeated stays for some clients and the recent increase in regulatory fees will complicate the future of Czech spas for children and adolescents.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Lesões em coluna vertebral estão intimamente relacionadas a alterações neuromusculares, de modo que pela sensibilidade dolorosa e restrição da movimentação podem levar a alterações musculares como assimetrias e atrofias. Por outro lado, a musculatura enfraquecida pode predispor a lesões vertebrais. Esse trabalho buscou investigar ultrassonograficamente a presença de alterações musculoesqueléticas em cães com suspeita clínica de alterações nos segmentos toracolombar e lombar da coluna vertebral, confirmada ou não, pelo exame radiográfico. Além da análise descritiva, o grau de atrofia muscular foi quantificado através da mensuração da espessura e área da secção transversal do músculo Multifidus dorsi no nível de cada vértebra entre T13 e L7. Análises descritivas e quantitativas foram realizadas para 30 cães hígidos e 30 sintomáticos, levando em conta a presença de lesões, escore de condição corporal e tempo de evolução do quadro (para animais com histórico de lesão). O exame ultrassonográfico possibilitou a avaliação qualitativa de superfícies ósseas dos processos articulares e espinhosos, ligamentos supraespinhoso, interespinhoso e flavo e grupos musculares que envolvem o Multifidus dorsi e Longissimus dorsi, bem como alterações de ecogenicidade e irregularidades em superfícies ósseas e fibras musculares. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado um modelo com três fatores, considerando presença de lesão, cronicidade e escore como efeitos fixos e o bloco idade-sexo-porte como efeito aleatório. A espessura do Multifidus dorsi foi menor em animais com lesão do que em cães hígidos e naqueles cães que apresentaram lesão crônica, quando comparado com animais sem histórico de lesão, não variando entre cães com escore adequado ou obesos. Houve menores valores de área da secção transversal para animais com lesão crônica e uma correlação forte entre mensurações de área dos lados direito e esquerdo para uma mesma vértebra. A ultrassonografia mostrouse um método interessante para estimativa da atrofia muscular com base na espessura do Multifidus dorsi, sobretudo no nível de T13, L1 e L3. A utilização da ultrassonografia musculoesquelética da coluna vertebral neste trabalho apresentou impacto positivo em 45% dos casos, seja por concomitantemente contribuir para o diagnóstico diferencial e influenciar na conduta em 17% dos casos ou por exclusivamente influenciar na conduta em 28% deles. O emprego deste método não afetou o diagnóstico em 55% dos casos. Portanto, é um método promissor para ser empregado na investigação musculoesquelética da coluna vertebral toracolombar e lombar, em casos específicos.Spinal injuries are closely related to neuromuscular changes, so that pain and movement impairment can lead to muscle changes such as asymmetries and atrophies. On the other hand, the weakened muscles may predispose to vertebral injuries. This work used the ultrasound to investigate the presence of musculoskeletal alterations in the thoracolumbar and lumbar segments of the canine spine, associated or not to radiographic findings. In addition to the descriptive analysis, the muscle atrophy was quantified by measuring the thickness and crosssectional area (CSA) of the Multifidus dorsi muscle at the level of each vertebra between T13 and L7. Descriptive and quantitative analyzes were performed for 30 healthy and 30 symptomatic dogs, taking into account the presence of lesions, body condition score and chronicity (for animals with a history of injury). Ultrasound examination allowed the qualitative evaluation of bone surfaces of articular and spinal processes, supraspinatus, interspinous and flavum ligaments and paraspinal muscle groups involving Multifidus dorsi and Longissimus dorsi, as well as changes in echogenicity and irregularities in bone surfaces and muscle fibers. For data analysis a model with three factors was used, considering presence of injury, chronicity and score as fixed effects and the block age-sex-size as random effect. Multifidus dorsi thickness was lower in animals with lesions than in healthy dogs and in dogs with chronic lesions when compared to animals with no lesion history. This parameter did not vary between dogs with adequate score or obese dogs. There were lower CSA values for animals with chronic lesions and a strong correlation between CSA measurements on the right and left sides for the same vertebra. Ultrasonography was an interesting method to estimate muscle atrophy based on the Multifidus dorsi thickness, especially at the level of T13, L1 and L3. The use of the musculoskeletal ultrasonography in this study had a positive impact in 45% of the cases, either by contributing to the differential diagnosis and influencing the conduct in 17% of the cases or by exclusively influencing the conduct in 28%. The use of this method did not affect the diagnosis in 55% of the cases. Therefore, it is a promising method to be used in musculoskeletal investigation of the spine in specific cases.

Harris, Oliver. "Identity, emotion and memory in Neolithic Dorset". Thesis, Cardiff University, 2006. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/56125/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Dwelling and practice represent two of the most powerful approaches that have been developed in archaeology over recent years. Together they offer a way of thinking about the past that recognises bom the agency of past peoples and the way in which they are always situated within their worlds. Yet both these approaches can be accused of a certain essentialism: they often fail to consider the socially contextual nature of identity, emotion and memory and the vital importance of these to how people go about the business of living their lives. By incorporating understandings of embodiment, gender, personhood, conviviality, emotional geographies, social memory and forgetting, among other themes, this thesis is an attempt to redress that. The first half of the thesis is thus an explicitly theoretical engagement with these broad, complex, but vital topics. In order to further this argument the second half of the thesis then applies these understandings to a single extended case study over three chapters: the Neolithic of Dorset This detailed and in-depth examination of one part of the country between 4000 and 2200 cal BC allows both the importance, and the applicability, of this theoretical approach to be set out Through this case study new understandings of people, landscape, materiality and monuments will emerge. The intention is to offer complex and coherent narratives that interweave the rich evidence of Neolithic occupation from Dorset with a sophisticated theoretical understanding that will allow new understandings of this particular place and time to emerge. Without a serious attempt to consider how identity, emotion and memory may have been both important and different in the past, archaeology is doomed to produce a picture of prehistory that not only falls short, but also reflects and reifies the conditions of the present.

Atualmente a análise do material gráfico dos painéis de pinturas rupestres no Nordeste do Brasil tem buscado especificidades nas figuras representadas pelos grupos pré-históricos. Busca-se padrões entre as diferentes representações que formam o acervo gráfico, principalmente da área arqueológica de São Raimundo Nonato no Estado do Piauí, com o objetivo de tentar detectar as diferentes escolhas de cada grupo cultural que tenha realizado essas pinturas. Sob essa perspectiva, nesta dissertação procurou-se estudar um dos principais grafismos emblemáticos da Tradição Nordeste, a figura dorso-contra-dorso, observando suas características a partir dos parâmetros das dimensões temática, técnica e cenográfica. As figuras foram analisadas separadamente, considerando-as unidades analíticas, para posteriormente compreender o conjunto da dupla de antropomorfos representadas. Estes procedimentos analíticos culminaram nesta primeira apresentação que permitiu inferências sobre os padrões de apresentação destas figuras dentro da classe Complexo Estilístico Serra Talhada, estabelecida para a área Arqueológica da Serra da Capivara.
Currently the analysis of the graphic material of the panels of rock art in the northeast of Brazil has been searching specificities on the figures represented by the prehistoric groups. Patterns are sought between different representations that form the graphic collection, especially of the archaeological area of São Raimundo Nonato in the state of Piauí, with the objective of try to detect the different choices of which cultural group that have done these paintings. Under this perspective, in this work we tried to study one of the major emblematic graphisms of the Northeast tradition, the back-to-back figure, observing its characteristics from parameters of the thematic, technical and scenographical dimensions. The figures were analyzed separately, considering them as analytical units, to understand later the set of the anthropomorphic pair represented. These analytical procedures culminated in this first presentation that allows inferences about presentation patterns of these figures inside of the class Stylistic Complex Serra Talhada, established for the Archaeological area of Serra da Capivara.

Trottier, Camille. "Détection de défauts en milieu fortement diffusant par utilisation de capteurs multiéléments et filtrage de la diffusion multiple". Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCC287/document.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L’interaction des ondes avec la microstructure des matériaux polycristallins a pour conséquence l’apparition d’un bruit dit "de structure" provenant à la fois de la diffusion simple (DS) mais aussi de la diffusion multiple (DM). L’acquisition de la matrice de transfert, K, mesurée à l’aide d’un réseau de transducteurs, a permis de mettre en évidence que les composantes DS et DM présentaient des comportements distincts. Aubry et al. ont proposé une méthode exploitant cette différence de comportement afin de séparer ces deux contributions et d'utiliser la composante DS pour imager le milieu. Cette méthode appelée MSF-DORT a été testée sur des matériaux industriels, au cours de la thèse de S. Shahjahan, et a permis de mettre en évidence son potentiel pour l'imagerie de défauts volumiques enfouis en milieu fortement diffusant. La première partie de cette thèse porte donc sur l'amélioration de MSF-DORT afin d'augmenter les performances en termes de détection de défauts et de repousser la profondeur maximale de détection de défauts volumiques. Une seconde partie aborde la possibilité d'étendre les applications de MSF-DORT à la détection de défauts dits "plans" (par opposition aux défauts volumiques) représentatifs des fissures. Cette thèse a permis de démontrer l'inefficacité de MSF-DORT pour la détection de ce type de défauts. Une troisième partie de ce travail a abouti à l'étude de la méthode FER-DORT (pour Focalisation en Emission et Réception - DORT). Cette dernière méthode présente des résultats très encourageants pour la détection de défauts plansThe ultrasonic inspection of polycrystalline media remains a challenge. The high noise levels due to interaction between the wave and the microstructure limits the efficiency of classical ultrasonic techniques to detect a defect in a coarse grain structure. This noise comes from both single scattering (SS) and multiple scattering (MS). The acquisition of the transfer matrix, K, measured using a phased array probe, has shown that the SS and MS components have distinct behaviors. Aubry et al. proposed a method exploiting this difference in order to separate these two contributions and use the SS component for imaging the environment. This method called MSF-DORT was tested on industrial component, during the thesis of S. Shahjahan, and helped to highlight its potential for imaging bulk defects in strongly scattering medium. The first work presents in this thesis focuses on improving MSF-DORT to increase his performance in terms of defect detection and repel the maximum depth of volume defects detection. The second part deals with the possibility of extending MSF-DORT applications for the detection of known defects "planes" (as opposed to volume defects) representative cracks. This thesis has demonstrated the ineffectiveness of MSF-DORT for the detection of such defects. A third part of this work led to the study of FER-DORT method (for Focus on Making and Receiving - DORT). This last method shows very encouraging results for the detection of planes defects

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos de raça, sexo e idade sob algumas características da carne, principalmente maciez, de bovinos machos e fêmeas, das raças Nelore e Braford aos 24 e 36 meses. Cento e oitenta e sete animais foram abatidos e coletados os dados de peso e pH carcaça quente. Após 24 horas de resfriamento calcularam-se o pH 24 horas, o rendimento de carcaça quente, a área de olho de lombo e a espessura de gordura. Retirou-se uma amostra do m. Longissimus dorsi de cada carcaça, as quais foram maturadas por 7 dias para as análises de perda de água por exsudação e perda de água por cocção e força de cisalhamento. A raça, idade e sexo influenciaram o peso da carcaça quente, o pH 24 horas, a área de olho de lombo, a espessura de gordura, a perda de água por cocção e a força de cisalhamento. A raça não influenciou o rendimento de carcaça quente e o sexo não causou efeito sob o pH carcaça quente e perda do exsudado. Constatou-se que as fêmeas Braford apresentaram carnes mais macias que a Nelore, porém entre os machos não houve diferença entre as duas raças. Também animais mais jovens apresentaram carnes mais macias quando comparado aos de maior maturidade.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of breed, sex and age on various carcass traits in beef, principally tenderness in steers and heifers of Braford and the Nellore breeds between the age of 24 and 36 months. One hundred and eighty seven animals were slaughtered and data for carcass weight and pH were collected. Following a 24 hours chilling period pH was measured together with the carcass yield, rib eye area and fat depth were also taken. Samples were from the Longissimus dorsi of each carcass were taken and thus aged for 7 days and then analyzed for purge, cooking losses and shear force value. Breed, age and sex influenced weights of hot carcass, 24 hour pH, rib eye area, fat depth, cooking losses and shear force. Breed did not however influence the hot carcass yield and sex did not cause any effect on the pH of hot carcasses or purge losses. It was noted that Braford heifers presented meat of superior tenderness than that of the Nellore, however between steers no difference was detected. Animals of the younger age groups also produced beef more tender than these from the older age groups.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo discutir as representações e significados da experiência de uma organização com um Programa de Ginástica Laboral utilizado como método de prevenção de LER/DORT, destacando as influências sobre o registro dos casos. Trata-se de uma empresa do ramo alimentício que apresenta um setor crítico quanto às manifestações relacionadas à LER/DORT, no qual foi implantado em 1996 um Programa de Ginástica Laboral. O comportamento dos casos ao longo de dois anos é analisado no presente trabalho. Para isso, o estudo envolve uma abordagem sobre a prática apoiada em LAVILLE (1977), seguindo a prática reflexiva defendida por SCHÖN (2000). O estudo utilizou como principal fonte de dados os registros do SESMT da empresa, que serviu como base para a análise documental realizada. Os resultados mostraram uma grande redução no registro dos casos de LER/DORT, principalmente três meses após a implantação do programa, voltando a crescer ao longo dos dois anos de forma progressiva. Esta característica mostrou ter grande relação com o significado atribuído à Ginástica Laboral pela empresa e ter sofrido fortes influências de outros comportamentos da própria organização. Verificou-se também que a intenção de prevenção foi contraditória ao implantar um Programa de Ginástica Laboral ao qual foi atribuída toda a expectativa de prevenir LER/DORT. The present study it had as objective to argue the representations and meanings involving the experience of an organization with the Preventive Exercises being used as method of prevention of Work-related Muskolesqueletal Disorders and the influences on the register of cases. One is about a company of the nourishing branch that presents a critical sector how much to the manifestations related to the Work-related muskolesqueletal Disorders in whi ch was implanted in 1996 a Program of Preventive Exercises. The behavior of the cases throughout two years is analyzed in the present work, as well as the effect of the program is argued. For this, the study it involves a supported boarding on the practical one in LAVILLE (1977) following the deepened thought practical defended for SCHÖN (2000). One is about a case study that it used as principal source of data the documentary analysis of the registers of the Service of Security and Medicine of the Work of the company. The results had shown a great reduction in the register of the Work-related Muskolesqueletal Disorders cases, mainly three months after the implantation of the program, coming back to grow to the long one of the two ears of gradual form. This characteristic showed to have great relation with the meaning attributed to the Preventive Exercises for the company and to have suffered strong influences from other behaviors of the proper organization. It was also verified that the prevention intention was contradictory when implanting a Program of Preventive Exercises to which was attributed to all the expectation to prevent Work-related Muskolesqueletal Disorders.

Kimber, Owen Graham. "Mechanisms of failure of jointed rock masses and the behaviour of steep slopes". Thesis, Durham University, 1998. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4910/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The geomorphological behaviour of steep jointed rock slopes has been studied using distinct element method computer models. In order to model steep slopes effectively, methodologies need to be combined from the studies of environmental modellers, geomorphologists and engineers. The distinct element method is ideal for the study of the development of jointed rock masses as the discontinuum approach can model the progressive failure of rock blocks along discontinuities. Initial, theoretical modelling identified the limiting boundary conditions between the multiple block failure mechanisms of toppling, sliding and toppling-and-sliding, based upon the discontinuity geometry for a theoretically modelled limestone rock mass. It is demonstrated that joint dip, friction angle and spacing exert the greatest control upon rock mass failure mechanisms. Two field locations, the Colorado Plateau and the Isle of Purbeck, have been chosen to provide a link between theoretical modelling and classic rock mass landforms which are controlled by variation in discontinuity geometry. In the Portland Limestone of the Isle of Purbeck, it is the joint geometry variation which influences development. Bedding steepens and average block size decreases in the coastal rock cliffs from east to west. Comparison between the model outputs highlighted that there is an increase in the rate of simulated cliff retreat from Winspit in the east to Durdle Door in the west. The Colorado Plateau rock cliffs form large, embayed plan-form escarpments and detached monoliths. It is the variation of joint set spacing in the cap-rock of cuesta-form composite scarps that controls development. Model results suggest there is a continuum of rock mass landforms, with buttes becoming detached at plan-form necks in the escarpment as determined by the joint geometry. The results show excellent similarity with the landforms observed in the field. This thesis introduces a research tool that can provide an understanding of slope behaviour.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Monasticism and monasteries were important features of medieval religion in every English county. The monasteries of Dorset differ from surrounding countries in that the majority were pre-Conquest houses of the Benedictine order. Little is known about them in the late medieval period. Lacking much of the documentation available in other counties, this thesis, therefore, focuses particularly on the demography of the monks and nuns, ecclesiastical patronage, and the management of the estates. Ordination records identified Dorset monks and nuns and permitted an estimation of their ages. The names assumed by the monks on profession show that a high proportion of Dorset monks were locally recruited; a similar pattern to that reported for Devon and Somerset. The drop in numbers in the mid fifteenth century is in line with reported studies of other monasteries, but there was a recovery of numbers thereafter. Recruitment rates were consistent with a policy of limitation of numbers in the Dorset houses. Post Dissolution pension records, in giving a date of death, enabled simple studies of death rates, showing that life expectancy of former monks was no worse than experienced in a monastery. A close relationship existed between the heads of houses and landowners who subsequently obtained their lands. Spreadsheets of details of the clerics instituted into benefices of each of the Dorset monasteries were prepared. These show the monastic church of Shaftesbury Abbey was served by a community of clerics who were either instituted to local livings, or chantry chapels, or were appointed as vicars choral by their prebendaries. Each Benedictine house had a few rich livings wich attracted well-qualified clerics, who could act as potential advisors or lawyers for the abbeys. Alternatively they were appropriated to enhance the monastery’s annual income. Most livings were too poor for appropriation; these were filled predominantly by non-graduates; those in Shaftesbury livings, often serving in the abbey church. The proportion of graduate clergy instituted by the Dorset monasteries increased from the fourteenth century. Direct farming of demesnes generally ceased by the fifteenth century, but not by the Dorset monasteries. They maintained large numbers of sheep and directly cultivated their home farms, at least until the Valor assessments. Most of their estates were on the chalk downlands, which are part of the same chalk downlands of Wiltshire, where a similar tendency has been reported. Most of the estates of Sherborne Abbey lay away from this downland, and their farming pattern differed from that of the other houses. This study has revealed the state of the Dorset monasteries in the late medieval period, enabling comparisons with monasteries in surrounding counties.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Problem and Motivation: Posterior rotator cuff injuries are common (Yamaguchi et al., 2006), (Neri et al., 2009) and often debilitating and irreparable (Sim et al., 2001). Latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfers have been shown to be an effective treatment for these massive or irreparable tears (Habermeyer, 2006), (De Casas et al., 2014). This procedure can have unpredictable outcomes (Ling et al., 2009). This is partially caused by discrepancies in the suggested insertion site for the LD tendon during transfers. The current literature is composed of in-silico studies which ignore the practicalities of the human body (Magermans et al., 2004), in-vivo studies which use subjective pain scores, and small scale cadaver trials. For these reasons, a study is needed that uses the power of in-silico modeling in a way that is verified using in-vitro testing on cadavers. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of varying the insertion point of the LD tendon on the humeral head to treat posterior rotator cuff tears in terms of the effects on strength, primarily in rotation and in flexion over a range of motion. The objectives are to use an in-silico model to define the effects of various insertion points and validate this model using a cadaver trial before presenting the final findings. Methods: In-silico Model The Upper Extremity Model (Holzbaur et al., 2005) was used to simulate tendon transfers. The moment arms in flexion and rotation were measured and recorded at angles of 0° and 90° of forward ix elevation. The moment arms at each point were then projected onto humeral maps to display the results. Cadaver Trial Four fresh frozen cadaver torsos (eight shoulders) were mounted into a specifically designed rig. The LD was transferred to 7 points illustrative of the humeral head. The strain generated by the humerus in rotation on the clamps was measured at 0° and 90° of forward flexion for each point. These were then compared. Results In-silico Model The in-silico moment arm maps were generated and analysed. The optimal point for external rotation at 0° of flexion was the lesser tuberosity. Moment arms to produce external rotation were found over the entire greater tuberosity. Flexion was only generated on the posterior edge of the greater tuberosity. At 90° of flexion, little to no rotation generating moment arms were found in the lesser tuberosity and the anterior ridge of the greater tuberosity. Rotation generating moment arms were not significantly different between the posterior edge and the face of the greater tuberosity. No areas generated flexion moment arms. Cadaver Trial At 0° of flexion, the lesser tuberosity (point 1) generated the most flexion, with the greater tuberosity (points 2-7) also generating external rotation, but at reduced levels. At 90° of flexion, the lesser tuberosity and the anterior ridges of the greater tuberosty (points 1-3) generated no significant rotation. The posterior ridge and face of the greater tuberosity generated similar amounts of flexion, greater than points 1-3 Conclusions: The in-silico model was validated in rotation by the cadaver trials and this validation was extended to flexion. For maximum rotation strength at 0° of flexion and no flexion strength, the x lesser tuberosity is the optimal point. For maximum rotation strength and no flexion throughout the motion of flexion, the middle of the face of the greater tuberosity is the optimal area. For maximum rotation throughout the motion of flexion, points 4 and 5 (the posterior edge of the greater tuberosity) represent the optimal area for insertion. This area represents the optimal compromise in terms of range of motion and strength.

This study concerns the translation of noun phrases and their postmodifiers from Swedish into German. More specifically, the aim is to investigate how Swedish prepositional and clausal (both finite and non-finite) postmodifiers are translated into German, to determine whether there aredifferences between the languages in how they structure their noun phrases. The material for this study comes from a popular science book and its translation. 282 instances of postmodifiers were found in the source text. The majority of them were prepositional modifiers. Seven translationstrategies were identified: prepositional, genitival, adjectival modifiers and appositions, clauses(relative and non-finite), compounds and paraphrases.The results show that the different Swedish postmodifiers were most commonly translated into the same kind of modifier, such as prepositional modifiers being translated into prepositionalmodifiers. However prepositional modifiers were also commonly translated into genitivalmodifiers, with 36 percent, which suggests that German prefers genitival modifiers to some degree. No new clausal modifiers were added in the German target text and 39 percent weretranslated using other strategies than clausal structures. This indicates that clausal modifiers are not as commonly used in German as they are in Swedish.

Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar algumas características da carne de bovinos Nelore, analisando as diferenças entre as progênies (machos e fêmeas) de touros representativos das principais linhagens desta raça e comparar as progênies (machos e fêmeas) dos grupos genéticos Nelore, ½ Angus x Nelore e ½ Brahman x Nelore. Quartorze touros, raça Nelore, dois Aberdeen Angus e um Brahman foram acasalados com 400 vacas comerciais da raça Nelore formando progênies de Nelore (NE), ½ Aberdeen Angus x Nelore (AN) e ½ Brahman x Nelore (BN). Os animais foram confinados por 127 dias, recebendo alto teor de concentrado. Foram abatidos 293 bovinos, determinados o pH e a temperatura das carcaças e avaliados o grau de acabamento das carcaças. Após 24 horas de resfriamento calculou-se o rendimento das carcaças (RC), a área de olho de lombo (AOL) a espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS) e foi determinado o índice de marmorização no m. Longissimus dorsi. Retiraram-se duas amostras desse músculo, as quais foram maturadas por 14 dias para as análises de força de cisalhamento (FC), perda de água por exsudação (PAE), perdas ao cozimento (PAC) e índice de fragmentação miofibrilar (MFI). Houve interação entre sexos e gupos genéticos para as características de peso vivo final (PVF), rendimento de carcaça (RC) e área de olho de lombo (AOL). Houve diferenças entre sexos e grupos genéticos para o peso de carcaça quente (PCQ) e para a espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS). A marmorização e a força de cisalhamento foram influenciadas pelos grupos genéticos. O pH, e a temperatura (1 hora pós-morte) não foram influenciados pelos sexos e grupos genéticos, assim como as perdas ao cozimento (PAC) e o índice de fragmentação miofibrilar (MFI). O sexo influenciou nas características de acabamento das carcaças, pH e temperatura (24 horas pós-morte) e nas perdas de água por exudação (PAE). Quando analisadas as diferenças entre as progênies de touros representativos das principais linhagens da raça Nelore houve interação entre sexo e touros para o PVF, PCQ e EGS. Houve diferenças entre sexos e touros para as características de acabamento, RC, AOL e marmorização. Não foram detectadas diferenças entre sexos e entre touros para o pH e temperatura (1 hora pós-morte), PAC e maciez por meio da força de cisalhamento. O sexo influenciou o pH e a temperatura (24 horas pós-morte), assim como a PAE e o MFI do m. Longissimus dorsi maturado por 14 dias também foram influenciados. Constatou-se superioridade dos animais cruzados, em relação aos zebuínos puros, quanto a algumas características de qualidade da carne, com variação dentro da raça Nelore. Foram identificados touros, cujos filhos produziram carne com os melhores padrões de qualidade para o mercado mundial.This work aimed to evaluate some meat characteristics of Nellore cattle. The differences among the progenies (males and females) of representative sires of the main lines of this breed and also of Nellore, ½ Angus ½ Nellore and ½ Brahman ½ Nellore genetic groups were analyzed. Fourteen Nellore, two Aberdeen Angus and one Brahman bull, were mated to 400 Nellore cows to obtain the Nellore, ½ Angus ½ Nellore and ½ Brahman ½ Nellore progenies. The animals were fed on feedlot during 127 days with high concentrate diets and after the slaughter of 293 animals the pH, temperature and classification of the carcass was performed. After 24 hours chilling the carcass dressing percentage, rib eye area, fat thickness and marbling index of the Longissimus dorsi m. were determined. Two samples of this muscle were collected and aged during 14 days for shear force, water loss, cocking loss and myofribrilar fragmentation index (MFI) determination. There was an interaction between sex ad genetic groups for final live weight, carcass dressing percentage and rib eye area. There were differences between sex and genetic groups in carcass weight and fat thickness. Marbling and shear force were affected by genetic group. The pH and the temperature one hour after slaughter were not affected by sex and genetic group, as well as cocking loss and myofibrilar fragmentation index. Sex affected the finishing characteristics of the carcass, the pH and temperature 24 hours after slaughter and the water loss. Among the progeny of Nellore sires there was an interaction between sex and bull for final live weight, carcass weight and fat thickness. There were differences between sex and sires in the finishing characteristics, carcass dressing percentage, rib eye area and marbling. No differences were detected between sex and sires in pH and temperature one hour after slaughter, cocking loss and tenderness with Warner Bratzler Shear Force. Sex affected pH and temperature 24 hours after slaughter, as well as water loss and MFI of the Longissimus dorsi m. were affected. It was observed superiority of the crossbred steers in some meat quality characteristics, but also large variation inside the Nellore breed. The progeny of some Nellore sires produced meat with enough quality for the world market.

A percepção de cor e suas relações com água retida são aspectos importantes para definição do rendimento e qualidade final do processo produtivo da carne. A inter-relação entre as medidas objetivas de cor e a capacidade de retenção de água tem possibilitado a utilização de valores de atributos de cor para a predição de problemas com carne exsudativa. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar a relação entre pontos anatômicos de amostragem na secção transversal do bife de lombo suíno para obtenção das medidas de cor e medidas indiretas da capacidade de retenção de água, além do impacto nestes atributos devido à glicemia no momento do abate e no exsudado. Foram realizados dois ensaios, na seguinte ordem: 1) 19 amostras de lombo suíno foram adquiridas de forma aleatória no varejo, no dia seguinte ao abate do animal, e submetidas à determinação das variáveis de cor, pelo padrão CIElab, em seis pontos da superfície do bife, que posteriormente foram submetidos a medidas de exsudação e 2) 25 carcaças foram amostradas em abatedouro experimental, selecionadas com base nos níveis de glicemia plasmática dos animais no momento da sangria, formando duas categorias: normal-NO (74,8 ± 2,00 mg.dL-1) e alta-AL (134 ± 5,30 mg.dL-1). Três diferentes regiões (lateral, intermediária e medial) definidas com base nas observações do ensaio 1 foram analisadas para os parâmetros de cor, perdas por gotejamento em dois tempos e concentração de glicose no exsudado. No primeiro ensaio, a leitura de L* na região ventro-lateral do bife apresentou a maior correlação com a perda por gotejamento média geral do bife. A perda por gotejamento cresceu de maneira proporcional entre 48 e 72 horas após a determinação das variáveis de cor. O grupo AL, no segundo ensaio, apresentou perdas por gotejamento elevadas para a posição intermediária (11,0 ± 1,0 g.100-1) e lateral (9,0 ± 1,0 g.100-1). A coloração entre os grupos não diferiu, porém a L* da região intermediária foi mais alta (55,88 ± 1,55) e sua intensidade de vermelho foi menor (6,67 ± 0,35) em relação às regiões lateral (52,83 ± 1,65 e 7,68 ± 0,40) e medial (50,93 ± 1,65 e 7,67 ± 0,39), respectivamente. Maiores valores de glicose no exsudado também foram observados para as regiões intermediária e lateral. Os indicadores indiretos do metabolismo glicolítico muscular estão relacionados com cor ou perda por gotejamento e podem ser influenciados pela posição anatômica no músculo, com impactos sobre a capacidade de retenção de água, ocorrência de dupla tonalidade e qualidade do lombo suíno.The perception of color and its relationship with retained water are important for defining the yield and quality of pork production process. The inter-relationship between objective measures of color and water holding capacity has been used for prediction of problems with exudative meat. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between anatomical positions on cross section steak pork loin to obtain color measurements and indirect measurements of water holding capacity, and the impact in these attributes due to glucose at slaughter and the exudate. Two assays were conducted in the following order: 1) 19 samples of pork loin were randomly acquired in retail store, 24 hours after slaughter and subjected to the determination of color variables, following CIELab standard, in 6 positions of the steak surface, which subsequently underwent measurements of exudation; and 2) 25 carcasses were sampled at experimental abattoir selected based on plasma glucose levels of the animals at the time of bleeding, forming two categories: normal-NO (74.8 ± 2.00 mg.dL-1) and high-AL (134 ± 5.30 mg.dL-1). Three different regions (lateral, intermediate and medial) defined based on the observations of the assay 1 were analyzed for the color variables, drip loss in two times and glucose concentration in the exudate. In the first assay, the L* reading in the ventrolateral region of the steak had the highest correlation with drip loss average of all anatomical regions. The drip loss increased proportionally between 48 and 72 hours after determining the color parameters. The AL group from the second assay had higher drip loss, especially for the intermediate (11.0 ± 1.0 g.100g-1) and lateral position (9.0 ± 1.0 g.100g-1). The color did not differ between groups, but the L* of the intermediate region was higher (55.88 ± 1.55) and the intensity of red was lower (6.67 ± 0.35) compared to the lateral (52.83 ± 1.65 e 7.68 ± 0.40) and medial regions (50,93 ± 1,65 e 7,67 ± 0,39), respectively. Higher values of glucose exudate were also observed for the intermediate and lateral regions. The results confirm that indirect indicators of the muscle glycolytic metabolism are related to color or drip loss and can be influenced by the anatomical position of the muscle, impacting the ability to retain water, twotoning occurrence and overall pork loin quality.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Dorset retains ten of the twelve landed estates owning 10,000 acres listed in the 1883 edition of John Bateman's Survey, most still with considerable acreages, in a county which remains predominantly rural. Yet historians saw the attempted sales of land in England between 1918 and 1921 as a watershed beyond which agricultural landownership ceased to have any importance. Part I of this thesis uses extensive sales catalogue data to establish a chronology of attempted sales from Dorset landed estates, and seeks to isolate the economic, social, political and personal factors which led to land being put on the market. Data is then used, in the main from the 1942 War Agricultural Cultivations subcommittee minutes, to discover the results of earlier attempts to sell, and the emergence of new agricultural landowners. MAFF data on holdings sizes confirms a picture of the rebuilding of estates post World War Two. Throughout, exemplification comes from privately and publicly held estate archives. Part H uses estate archive material supplemented by minutes. from Dorset County Council and District Council Committees; from the Dorset branch of the Council for the Preservation (then Protection) of Rural England, and Forestry Commission leases, to establish the considerable influence landowners continued to wield post World War Two. A chapter on housing shows how state aid to the county's council housing was distorted by the national landowner stance on tied housing. A chapter on countryside protection considers the, curbing of industry and suburbia and discovers conflicting and ambiguous landowner attitudes concerning the protection of the rural landscape. Finally, a chapter on development traces the evolution of the Dorset landownership position with regard to development, which has accompanied the recent rise in land values. The whole shows that not only have Dorset landed estates survived the pressures which appeared to threaten to sweep them away, but their influence has resulted in the continuation of a predominantly rural landscape today.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The hippocampus plays an important role in the processing of spatial memory. During exploration, theta oscillations (4-12 Hz) are prominent in the hippocampus, whereas during sleep and rest irregular sharp wave/ripple (SWR) events occur spontaneously in the hippocampus and may support memory consolidation. To date, the ventral sub-region of the rodents hippocampus, has received less attention relative to the more accessible dorsal part. It has been suggested that spatial information decreases along the septo-temporal axis in favour of coding salient features and coordinated oscillatory activity might enable the binding of spatial and nonspatial information. The first goal of my research was to investigate how the spatial representation by dorsal and ventral neurons is organised by theta oscillations in the hippocampal network. The second goal was to investigate the role of the ventral hippocampus in spatial learning. Finally, the third goal examined to what extent the firing relationships established during spatial learning are replayed during subsequent sleep in the ventral CA1. I recorded the network activity of dorsal and ventral CA1 in rats performing a spatial memory task on the cheese board maze (Dupret et al., 2010). By using parallel multi-channel extracellular recordings in the dorsal and ventral portions of the hippocampus in behaving rats, I found that dorsal and ventral CA1 were theta coupled at particular times of the spatial learning. High coherence periods across the two regions were characterized by a strong speed-modulation of ventral theta oscillations, which was absent in other conditions. During sleep, it was found that SWR-related activity was presented in the ventral hippocampus as well, when the coordinated population activity established in spatial learning was reactivated within the two sub-regions. By contrast, reactivation across the two regions was observed outside the SWRs epochs. Overall, the data suggests that the ventral hippocampus might be involved in the processing of salient features of the environment such as rewards. On a temporal scale, this non-spatial information might be integrated to the spatial information provided by the dorsal hippocampus during theta oscillation. During sleep/rest periods, the coordinated communication of learned information might underlie the consolidation of memory traces.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Comprehensive sediment budgets are compiled for a series of pocket shingle beaches in West Dorset backed by massive soft cliffs that degrade in a rapid and complex manner. Studies involve the identification and quantification of sediment (primarily shingle) inputs, transfers, storage and outputs within terrestrial and marine subsystem components. Results are unified within budget and flow models and applied to tackle questions of coastal evolution and management. Research involved mapping and sampling of the ground forming materials in terms of their beach forming potential. Cliff landsliding and recession are analysed using comparisons of historical maps, aerial photos and documentary evidence. A method of quantifying the release, throughput and supply to the beaches of various sediment grades from the eroding cliffs is presented. The volumes and types of sediment at the beach and in the inshore zone are investigated by various profile, intertidal, and offshore surveys. Detailed sampling and sediment analysis of the beaches is undertaken to elucidate beach drift and for attrition assessments through comparisons with cliff inputs. Shingle tracing experiments using aluminium tracers are conducted to study transport and sorting at two contrasting sites over a full spectrum of wave energy conditions. Validated littoral drift volumes and original wave power relationships are developed. Information is compiled to produce budget models for the main beaches. Complex long established links are demonstrated between eroding cliff sources and the shingle beaches that they supply. Chesil Beach is identified as the ultimate shingle sink suggesting that it is not entirely a product of the Holocene transgression as often envisioned, but a component of a Lyme Bay process system and open periodically to inputs of shingle from the west. Adverse impacts arising from various human interventions are highlighted using the models.

Li, Kefeng. "Biometric person identification using near-infrared hand-dorsa vein images". Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2013. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/9238/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Biometric recognition is becoming more and more important with the increasing demand for security, and more usable with the improvement of computer vision as well as pattern recognition technologies. Hand vein patterns have been recognised as a good biometric measure for personal identification due to many excellent characteristics, such as uniqueness and stability, as well as difficulty to copy or forge. This thesis covers all the research and development aspects of a biometric person identification system based on near-infrared hand-dorsa vein images. Firstly, the design and realisation of an optimised vein image capture device is presented. In order to maximise the quality of the captured images with relatively low cost, the infrared illumination and imaging theory are discussed. Then a database containing 2040 images from 102 individuals, which were captured by this device, is introduced. Secondly, image analysis and the customised image pre-processing methods are discussed. The consistency of the database images is evaluated using mean squared error (MSE) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). Geometrical pre-processing, including shearing correction and region of interest (ROI) extraction, is introduced to improve image consistency. Image noise is evaluated using total variance (TV) values. Grey-level pre-processing, including grey-level normalisation, filtering and adaptive histogram equalisation are applied to enhance vein patterns. Thirdly, a gradient-based image segmentation algorithm is compared with popular algorithms in references like Niblack and Threshold Image algorithm to demonstrate its effectiveness in vein pattern extraction. Post-processing methods including morphological filtering and thinning are also presented. Fourthly, feature extraction and recognition methods are investigated, with several new approaches based on keypoints and local binary patterns (LBP) proposed. Through comprehensive comparison with other approaches based on structure and texture features as well as performance evaluation using the database created with 2040 images, the proposed approach based on multi-scale partition LBP is shown to provide the best recognition performance with an identification rate of nearly 99%. Finally, the whole hand-dorsa vein identification system is presented with a user interface for administration of user information and for person identification.

As Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos (LERs) ou Distúrbios Ósteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORTs), são doenças que podem ter caráter ocupacional, e que atingem principalmente os membros superiores. Entre as conseqüências deste fenômeno, estão as dificuldades que se estabelecem para o exercício da atividade profissional, como o ritmo de trabalho que tem chamado a atenção. Os Cirurgiões-Dentistas encontram-se inseridos no grupo de risco para o acometimento destas lesões, pois a atividade desenvolvida exige em muitas situações, esforços físicos oriundos de posturas inadequadas, uso de força excessiva, repetitividade, e muitas vezes associados ao estresse e ao estilo de vida. O estudo realizado revela o perfil do Cirurgião-Dentista quando se refere a estreita relação entre as LERs/DORTs e os fatores de risco associados com as atividades executadas. O estudo aponta ainda a diferença em vários itens analisados quando compara-se o sexo masculino e feminino, mostra também a importância da atividade física como um fator decisivo como prevenção. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram a necessidade de programas de prevenção contra as LERs/DORTs, onde cuidados com os fatores biomecânicos, o estresse e o sedentarismo são de grande importância.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La stimulation magnétique transcranienne (SMT) est une technique non invasive qui permet de stimuler le cerveau. Les SMT répétitives (SMTr), c'est-à-dire l'application de nombreuses impulsions magnétiques, sont capable d'induire des modifications de longue durée de l'excitabilité neuronale. La SMT s'est développée dans un but thérapeutique et scientifique. Les effets après la SMTr sur le cortex moteur sont bien documentés chez les individus sains, mais on en sait moins sur la stimulation du cortex préfrontal dorso-latéral (DLPFC).L'objectif de cette thèse était de comparer différents protocoles SMTr sur des sujets sains et de trouver des marqueurs électroencéphalograpiques (EEG) de la réponse ou pas à la thérapie SMTr dans la dépression majeure et bipolaire. La principale originalité de la méthode présentée est la comparaison intra-sujet d'effets entre-protocoles et le développement de techniques de localisation de sources.Nous avons étudié chez 20 sujets sains comment les oscillations corticales sont modulées suite à quatre protocoles SMTr actifs différents, et à un protocole sham utilisé comme contrôle, du DLPFC gauche et en comparant la puissance spectrale d'EEG avant et après SMTr de durée de 15 minutes. Le spectre EEG a été estimé grâce à la transformée de Fourier rapide (FFT) et partitionné en bandes de fréquence selon la classification commune.Nous avons trouvé pour chaque protocole actif une diminution significative de puissance delta et theta sur les électrodes préfrontales gauches, principalement localisées dans le DLPFC gauche. Dans des bandes de fréquences plus hautes, la diminution de puissance dans le DLPFC a été de plus observée dans le DLFPC controlatéral et dépend du protocole de stimulation. Parce que les activités delta et theta sont généralement associées à l'inhibition corticale, ces résultats suggérent que la SMTr du DLPFC diminue transitoirement l'inhibition corticale locale. Aussi, les oscillations d'EEG rapides sont associées à l'excitabilité corticale et on peut conclure que des diminutions observées non spécifiques dans l'activité rapide localisée dans le DLPFC suggérent également une réduction de l'excitabilité corticale.Dans la deuxième expérience, nous avons travaillé sur groupe de patients, souffrant de trouble dépressif majeur (MDD) et de trouble bipolaire (BP). Dans cette étude ouverte, nous avons cherché à déterminer s'il existe des différences d'EEG de repos dans l'activité cérébrale entre patients BP et MDD, et entre les répondeurs et non-répondeurs à la SMTr à 10 Hz en étudiant des biomarqueurs d'EEG. Le protocole SMTr à 10 Hz étaient le même entre patients MDD et BP. Les propriétés EEG dans les deux troubles dépressifs ont été étudiées, en comparant la puissance spectrale des enregistrements pré- et post-SMTr EEG au cours des sessions thérapeutiques chez les patients répondeurs et non-répondeurs.La conclusion est qu'il est possible de distinguer les répondeurs des non-répondeurs au traitement SMTr. Les répondeurs avaient une puissance en basse fréquence plus importante. Une augmentation de puissance alpha a aussi été observée au niveau du cortex cingulaire ventral dans les deux groupes. La comparaison des MDD et BP a révélé une activité significativement plus élevée dans la puissance des bandes thêta et bêta chez les patients BP, principalement localisée dans le cortex préfrontalTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique for stimulating the brain. A brief electric current passing through a magnetic coil produces a brief, high-intensity magnetic field which stimulates the brain. Repetitive TMS, application of many magnetic pulses, is able to induce relatively long-lasting excitability changes and nowadays is being developed for various therapeutic and scientific purposes. The after-effects of rTMS over motor cortex are well documented in healthy individuals, however less is known about the stimulation of dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The aim of this PhD thesis was to compare different rTMS protocols in healthy subjects and to find neurophysiological EEG biomarkers characteristic for response or not to rTMS therapy in major and bipolar depression. The main originality of presented method is within-subject comparison of between-protocols effects. Additionally, source localisation was performed in both analyses. Here, we studied in 20 healthy subjects how cortical oscillations are modulated by four different active rTMS protocols (1 Hz, 10 Hz, cTBS and iTBS) of the left DLPFC, and by a sham-1Hz protocol used as a control condition, by comparing the spectral power of pre- and post-rTMS electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of 15 minutes duration. EEG spectrum was estimated with the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) and partitioned using the common physiological frequency. We found for every active protocol a significant decrease of delta and theta power on left prefrontal electrodes, mainly localised in the left DLPFC. In higher frequency bands (beta and gamma), the decrease of power in the DLPFC was also observed additionally in the contralateral DLFPC and depended on the stimulation protocol. Because large delta and theta activity is usually associated with cortical inhibition, these results suggest that rTMS of DLPFC transiently decreases local cortical inhibition. Furthermore, fast EEG oscillations are associated to cortical excitability and it can be concluded that observed decreases in fast activity, unspecific to protocol, localised in the DLPFC also suggest reduced cortical excitability, which accompanies a decrease in cortical inhibition. In the second experiment we worked on two subgroups of patients, with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BP). In this open study we aimed to examine whether there are EEG differences in resting brain activity between BP and MADD patients, and between responders and non-responders to 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) by studying EEG biomarkers. Eight MDD (6 females) and 10 BP patients (6 females) were included. The 10 Hz rTMS protocol was the same for MDD and BP. The different patterns of EEG activity in both depressive disorders were studied, by comparing spectral power of pre- and post-rTMS EEG recordings throughout the therapeutic sessions in responders and non-responders.The most important finding is that it is possible to distinguish responders from non-responders to the rTMS treatment. Responders showed significantly higher power of low frequencies. Therefore, an increase of alpha power was observed in ventral cingulate cortex in both groups. The comparison of MDD and BP disorders revealed significantly higher activity in theta and beta bands power in BP patients, mainly localised in prefrontal cortex

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a posição da suspensão de carcaças durante o período de resfriamento, no primeiro experimento lados alternados de dez animais Nelores machos castrados, foram suspensos pelo método tradicional (Tendão de Aquiles) ou dispostos horizontalmente em pallets, no segundo experimento lados alternados de 16 animais machos castrados e 16 fêmeas foram suspensos pelo método tradicional (Tendão de Aquiles) ou pelo músculo Carpo Radial. Amostras do músculo Longissimus dorsi na 12ª costela foram coletadas de todos os lados (42 lados esquerdos e 42 lados direitos) após o período de 24 horas de resfriamento, estas amostras foram embaladas a vácuo e maturadas por sete dias antes de serem congeladas e armazenadas até a realização das analises de força de cisalhamento, perdas de água por cocção e índice de fragmentação miofibrilar (MFI). Para a primeira experiência nenhuma diferença foi observada para espessura de gordura subcutânea, perdas de água por cocção, força de cisalhamento e MFI.Na segunda experiência não houve diferença para espessura de gordura entre os tratamentos, mas as fêmeas apresentavam maior espessura que os machos. Para perdas de água por cocção e força de cisalhamento não houve diferença, mas observando o MFI existe diferença entre os machos e fêmeas e também entre os métodos de pendura. A média de MFI para o tratamento de suspensão pelo Carpo Radial foi maior do que a suspensão pelo tendão de Aquiles.The objective of this work was to evaluate the carcass hanging position during the chilling period in which 1st experiment: alternate sides of ten Nellore steers were hang either by the traditional way (Achilles tendon) or placed horizontally over pallets or 2nd experiment: alternate sides of 16 Nellore steers and 16 Nellore heifers were hang either by the Achilles tendon or by the Carpus radial muscle of the forequarter. Longissimus dorsi muscle samples at the 12th rib level were removed from all sides (42 left and 42 right sides) after a 24 hr chilling period, vacuum packaged and aged for 7 days before being frozen and kept for future analysis of shear force, cooking losses and Myofibril fragmentation index (MFI). For the first experiment no differences were observed for fat thickness, cooking losses, shear force and MFI. In the second experiment there was not differences for fat thickness between treatments but heifers showed a thicker fat layer than steers. For cooking losses and shear force there was not differences although for the MFI and hanging position between heifers and steers were observed. The MFI average of the treatment hang by the Carpus radial muscle were higher than the treatment hang by the Achilles tendon.

Projeto de Pós Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina DentáriaAs lesões por Esforço Repetitivo (LER) ou distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) têm merecido atenção especial, inclusive na área da Medicina Dentária, em virtude do aumento do número de profissionais atingidos, obrigando-os ao afastamento temporário das suas atividades laborais. Estas lesões são decorrentes da utilização excessiva do sistema músculo-esquelético das regiões dos membros superiores e estão associadas à má postura, ao ambiente de trabalho e ao uso de instrumentos inadequados, à não utilização de princípios ergonômicos, ao repouso insuficiente e ao alto grau de estresse. Existem estudos que avaliaram os profissionais mais atingidos, demostrando que a prevalência dos sintomas está associada às características físicas, psicossociais e individuais. Conclui-se que a maioria dos estudos demonstraram que a LER/DORT é um dos grandes problemas na saúde dos médicos dentistas, que pode ter educação preventiva, que é mais prevalente no sexo feminino, com idades entre 35 e 50 anos e tem sintomatologia dolorosa. Através da revisão bibliográfica, procurou-se aprofundar o conhecimento sobre a LER/DORT, enfatizando as principais etiologias, as possíveis formas de prevenção e tratamento, e principalmente a de conscientizar o profissional da necessidade de atitudes preventivas, visando a manutenção da qualidade de vida. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa através das análises de livros especializados, de materiais de produção acadêmica e de artigos publicados pertencentes às bases de dados Medline, Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo, Google e Google académico, compreendendo o período de 1963 a 2012 com a utilização de palavras-chaves como "LER", "DORT", "desordens músculo-esqueléticas", "trabalho", "médico dentista" e "ergonomia". Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) or Work Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMD) has received special attention in the area of Dental Medicine due to the increasing of the number of lesions related to labor activity which may lead to temporary disruption in major dentist’s praxis. These injuries are mainly consequence of the overuse of the musculoskeletal system, especially of the upper limb regions. In addition, they may be associated to inadequate posture and work environment, inappropriate tools and nonobservance of the ergonomic principles. Also, there is a positive correlation with insufficient resting period time and high degree of stress, and the prevalence of symptoms is generally associated with physical, psychosocial and individual factors. In order to highlight the mechanisms involved with the establishment of RSI and/or WMD, to emphasize their main causes, the possible ways of prevention and treatment, and especially aware for professional preventive postures, there was proceeded a review of specialized books, academic materials production and scientific articles belonging to Medline, Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo, Google and Google academic, from 1963 to 2012, with the key words "RSI", "WMD," "musculoskeletal disorders", "work", "dentist" and "ergonomics". In this way, it was concluded that in spite of some preventive maneuvers adopted in the Dental Medicine field, RSI / WMD still constitutes a major problem of health among dentists, which high prevalence in females, between 35 and 50 years old. Thus, preventive maneuvers must be incessantly reinforced as part of the basic dental practice education in the way to avoid RSI / WMD and to minimize their effects.

RTK/Ras/MAPK signaling is one of the most common pathways for intercellular communication during development and in the adult organism. In addition, abnormal RTK signaling is associated with many pathological conditions, including cancer. Taking advantage of the available genetic tools of Drosophila, we use the DV axis specification as a model to study the molecular mechanisms by which RTK signaling regulates gene expression and how the same signaling pathway is interpreted differently in distinct tissues. Specifically, we have studied the mechanisms by which the localized activation of the RTK EGFR signaling pathway in the dorsal region of the follicular epithelium restricts pipe gene expression to ventral positions. pipe encodes a sulfotransferase enzyme which is essential for transfering DV polarity from the egg chamber to the embryo. Our results have shown that EGFR activity on pipe is mediated by Mirror, a homeodomain transcription factor induced by the pathway in dorsal-anterior cells. Mirror acts as a direct repressor of pipe by binding to a conserved motif (r1) in the pipe regulatory region. We also have characterized an additional aspect of pipe regulation that depends on Capicua (Cic), a HMG-box transcription factor post-transcriptionally downregulated by RTK/Ras/MAPK signaling. We have shown that the role of Cic is to support pipe expression in ventral follicle cells by repressing mirror in this region. On the other hand, we have analyzed the relevance of the negative post-transcriptional regulation of Cic by EGFR/Ras/MAPK signaling in the establishment of the initial DV asymmetries during oogenesis. Our results suggest a competition mechanism between Cic-mediated repression and EGFR-dependent and –independent activation of mirr, which leads to graded expression of mirr in dorsal and lateral follicle cells. We propose a model where the EGFR-dependent downregulation of Cic modulates the spatial distribution of Mirror protein in the lateral and dorsal-posterior follicle cells, where low, but functional Mirr activity defines the precise position at which the pipe expression border is formed. Finally, we have studied in collaboration with S. Y. Shvartsman group, the function of Cic in response to the RTK Torso signaling pathway in the early embryo. Together with previous results, our work has shown that Cic also participates in the DV subdivision of the embryo acting as a repressor of dorsal zygotic genes, as zerknüllt (zen), and that this activity is inhibited at the poles by Torso signaling. Taking together this result and other previous studies in collaboration with S. Y. Shvartsman group, we have proposed in a new model of gene regulation based in MAPK substrate competition. Molecular competition among MAPK substrates affects the expression of genes such as zen, reveals a new mechanism of integrating anterior, dorso-ventral and terminal systems. To summarize, in this thesis we show that different RTK/Ras/MAPK pathways with key roles in Drosophila development operate through common mechanisms that involve the post-transcriptional downregulation of Cic. By downregulating Cic activity, RTK signals create gradients or boundaries of Cic repressor activity that are then translated into complementary patterns of target gene expression. Since different Cic targets are regulated in different contexts, our results support the view that RTK specificity arises mainly at the level of downstream enhancers responding to general RTK effectors (including Cic) and additional ubiquitous and tissue-specific factors.La vía RTK/Ras/MAPK es una de las cascadas de señalización evolutivamente conservadas más común durante el desarrollo de los metazoos. En concreto, la vía de EGFR es una de las más destacadas en la inducción de respuestas espacialmente localizadas en Drosophila. Concretamente, en esta tesis hemos estudiado el modo en que la activación localizada de la vía RTK de EGFR en la región dorsal del epitelio folicular restringe la expresión del gen pipe a posiciones ventrales. Pipe codifica para un enzima con actividad sulfotransferasa que resulta esencial para la transmisión de información posicional desde el ovario hasta el embrión. Nuestros resultados han mostrado que la actividad de EGFR sobre pipe está mediada por el factor Mirror, el cual actúa como represor directo de pipe uniéndose a las secuencias reguladoras del gen. Además, hemos caracterizado un aspecto adicional de la regulación de pipe que depende de Capicua (Cic), un factor de transcripción inhibido por señales RTK en diversos sistemas. Así, hemos demostrado que Capicua mantiene la expresión de pipe en la región ventral del epitelio folicular reprimiendo a su vez a Mirror en esa región. Por otro lado, hemos analizado la relevancia de la regulación post-transcripcional negativa de Cic en respuesta a la señal de EGFR para el establecimiento de esta polaridad inicial durante la oogénesis. Proponemos un modelo en el que la regulación negativa de Cic por la vía de EGFR modula la distribución espacial de Mirror en las células foliculares laterales definiendo la posición precisa del borde de expresión de pipe. Finalmente, hemos estudiado la función de Capicua en respuesta a la señal RTK de Torso en el embrión temprano. Junto con resultados previos, nuestro trabajo ha mostrado que Capicua también participa en la subdivisión dorsoventral del embrión actuando como represor de genes cigóticos dorsales como zerknüllt, y que esta actividad se encuentra inhibida en regiones terminales por la vía de Torso.
