Authors: Mietule Iveta
Published: July 2015

The study of the scientific literature concerning the concept of quality of life makes it possible to draw conclusions on this concept positioning in different sub-sectors of science, the convergence with its concept of standard of living as well as various approaches to quality of life in quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The author entirely supports the scientific opinion, which emphasises the subjective evaluation of quality of life, i.e., quality of life is subjectively expressed in the form of individual's satisfaction with life in general. It consists of certain elements that are important to the individual or affect his quality of life. The aim of the research is to analyse the students' understanding and interpretation of the concept ‘quality of life’, as well as gather and interpret the respondents' subjective evaluation of quality of life. Students are the basis of this study. General elements characterising students’ quality of life are available education services, disposable income, health care, cultural and entertainment events, sense of ‘belonging’ to a family, acquaintances and friends. The author's initial assumptions regarding the fact that most respondents would express dissatisfaction with certain elements of quality of life and quality of life in general, were not confirmed by the study.
LIFELONG EDUCATION BETWEEN THE USEFUL AND THE USELESS : LEARNING CITY TOPONYMY
Authors: Piccinini Livio Clemente , Mario Taverna , Tubaro Giovanni
Published: July 2015

The aim of the paper is to discuss the balance between the useful and the useless in the actual lifelong learning, in a conceptual scheme that goes beyond purely economical or technical evaluations. The authors chose an exemplary field starting from last year’s paper on the exploration of nets. In order to delimitate the research field, the official city toponymy has been considered, both in the structure of hypernyms and in the choices of proper names. The analysis considers Italian city hypernyms, with some regional or local varieties, explaining the underlying historical and contact phenomena. The grouping of similar proper names is then analyzed, finding out segmentations and some strange aversions. The non correspondence between the conceptual hierarchy and the perceptual geographical hierarchy is highlighted. Useful practical reference systems are compared with official ones.
ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF LIFELONG LEARNING IN LATVIAN REGIONS
Authors: Sannikova Aija
Published: July 2015

despite the extreme urgency of lifelong learning in the era of knowledge economy, employers in Latvia’s regions are not active investors in the training of their employees, and individuals are not eager to actively educate themselves throughout their lives, mentioning the expensiveness of lifelong learning – unlike in the majority of EU Member States – as the key reason. Therefore, one can identify the discrepancy between the political priorities and the actual situation. The author, following the idea of Latvia’s scientist A.Jaunzems to perceive knowledge purely economically – as a product of the education market – developed this idea further by examining the knowledge market in Latvia’s regions in regard to its institutional “casing”, i.e. lifelong learning. The research findings show that the regional specifics of lifelong learning in Latvia are determined by the fact that Latvia’s regions are in different stages of economic development.

Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies on the Most Commonly Missing Permanent Dentition (Excluding the Third Molars) in Non-Syndromic Dental Patients or Randomly-Selected Subjects, and the Factors Affecting the Observed Rates
Authors: Rakhshan V
Published: July 2015

Purpose: The aim of this study was to summarize the literature on the most frequently missing permanent teeth excluding the third molars. Study design: A search was conducted to find all the available literature (in various scientific and general databases) regarding the most commonly missing teeth with respect to ethnicity and time, as well as factors biasing this outcome. Quality assessment was done to exclude studies with inconsistent information, poor designs, or data pertaining to syndromic cases or the third molars. The role of biasing factors was as well quantitatively assessed using statistical analyses [Q-test, Egger regression, Spearman correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression, Welch t-test] (α=0.05). Results: A total of 81 reports was included. The meta-sample was heterogeneous (P=0.000, Q-test). No significant publication bias was detected (P>0.1, Egger regression). The mandibular second premolar was reported as the most commonly missing tooth in most studies, followed by the maxillary lateral (the most commonly missing in the rest). In terms of the missing share of each tooth percent of all missing teeth, the mandibular second premolar and incisors are more likely to be absent, followed by the maxillary second premolar and lateral. The absence of different teeth can be affected by the ethnicity, sample types (epidemiological or dental patients), sample sizes (only in the case of bimaxillary second premolars), and the minimum ages of pooled subjects (only in the case of the maxillary lateral and the mandibular second premolar). Conclusions: Since enrolling younger patients can bias the results, older patients should be sampled.
Intrusive Luxation in Primary Teeth: A Case Report
Authors: Mendoza-Mendoza A , González-Mallea E , Iglesias-Linares A
Published: July 2015

Background: Intrusive luxation, also called central dislocation, is often the result of an axial impact in the apical direction, moving the tooth within the alveolar bone. This is possibly one of the most traumatic injuries, since the displacement of a tooth within its socket implies extensive and acute involvement of the periodontal ligament, bone damage and rupture of the neurovascular bundle. The close relationship between the apexes of the primary teeth and the developing permanent successor in turn can lead to multiple complications, which are greater when the permanent tooth is affected in the early stages of development. Methods: The present paper describes a case of intrusion in primary teeth and its evolution following initial diagnosis as avulsion at the time of trauma. Results: The upper right central incisor, initially diagnosed as avulsed, was lodged in the floor of the right nostril, and was surgically extracted through the nose. Conclusions: In cases of intrusion of primary teeth, it is essential to diagnose the direction of the displaced tooth to rule out injury to the successor and thus prevent the occurrence of sequelae in the permanent dentition.

Authors: Jaime RA , Carvalho TS , Bonini GC , Imparato JCP , Mendes FM
Published: July 2015

Objective: This 3-year retrospective controlled clinical trial assessed the effect of a school-based oral health education program on caries incidence in children. Study design: A total of 240 students, aged 5 to 7 years, from two public schools in Monte Sião, Brazil, were included in this study. A school-based oral health education program was developed in one of the schools (experimental group), including 120 students, while the 120 students from the other school did not participate in the program (control group). All children were initially examined for dental caries (dmf-t), and after 3 years, 98 children from the experimental group and 96 from the control group were again examined and answered a questionnaire on oral health issues. The between-groups difference in caries incidence on permanent teeth was calculated using Poisson regression analyses. Logistic regression was used to observe the association between caries incidence and other variables. Results: More students from the experimental group stated knowing what was dental caries and declared that they use dental floss daily, but no significant differences in caries incidence was observed between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion: The school-based oral health education program is not adequately efficient to decrease caries incidence after three years, but some issues about oral health knowledge could be slightly improved.

Ambiguidade nos sermões de Vieira: dar a César ou a Deus?
Authors: Duarte Lélia Parreira
Published: July 2015

O trabalho procura analisar alguns recursos irônicos usados por Vieira em seus Sermões, tais como a teatralidade, a citação, o binarismo, a estrutura comunicativa do discurso, o jogo e a reduplicação, a valorização de significantes sonoros, os mascaramentos e espelhamentos, com o objetivo de demonstrar que essas estratégias de envolver e convencer o ouvinte têm como suporte seduções de um discurso irônico / ideológico que, apoiando-se em sólido conhecimento, grande cultura, verdades conhecidas como incontestáveis e na defesa de causas vistas como indiscutivelmente justas, funcionam também para camuflar a ironia de monológicos jogos de poder.

This work atttempts to analyse some ironical devices used by Vieira in his Sermões, such as theatricality, citation, binary resources, the communicative structure of discourse, game and reduplication, the emphasis on sonorous signifiers, masking and mirroring, with the purpose of demonstrating that those strategies used to involve and convince the listener have, as support, the seductions of an ironical/ideological discourse which, leaning on solid knowledge, vast culture, truths taken as incontestable and in defence of causes seen as unquestionably just, also function as a way to disguise the irony of monological power games.

Virgílio e Eça de Queiroz: o bucolismo como fruto da evolução histórica
Authors: Silva Evaldo Balbino da
Published: July 2015

O presente artigo tece uma análise comparativa entre um conto de Eça de Queiroz (“Civilização”) e um poema de Virgílio (“IV Bucólica”), com o objetivo de mostrar um dialogismo entre esses dois autores. Na “IV Bucólica”, o poeta romano anuncia o nascimento de um menino misterioso, a partir do qual haverá a retomada gradativa da “Idade do Ouro”, em oposição à “Idade do ferro” presente no momento do poeta. Em “Civilização”, o escritor português nos apresenta Jacinto, uma personagem que lentamente vai abandonando os aparatos da supercivilização (“Idade do Ferro”) e vai aderindo a uma vida bucólica (“Idade do Ouro”). A análise aqui feita procurará explicitar como se dão essas evoluções nos dois autores; de que forma elas se relacionam e como elas se estendem a toda a civilização mundial.

This article makes a comparative analysis between a short story by Eça de Queiroz (“Civilização”) and a poem by Virgílio (“IV Bucólica”). Its purpose is to show a dialogue between these two authors. In “IV Bucólica”, the Roman poet talks about a mysterious boy’s birth, when “the Golden Age” would start to return gradually and “the Iron Age” would finish gradually too. In “Civilização”, the Portuguese writer shows Jacinto, a character who leaves the great civilization (“the Iron Age”) slowly and goes into a bucolic life (“the Golden Age”). The purpose of this analysis is to show the kinds of evolution that are in the texts by these two authors: in which way these evolutions are related with each other and how far they would occur all over the world.
O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis: uma ressalva para a história e para a ficção
Authors: Gobbi Márcia Valéria Zamboni
Published: July 2015

Este ensaio propõe-se a analisar o romance O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis, de José Saramago, sob o ponto de vista de sua configuração intertextual, discutindo não só o estatuto paródico que o romance parece assumir em relação aos discursos que glosa, mas também a forma pela qual este estatuto acaba por configurar uma imagem do Portugal salazarista, ativando uma discussão em torno das relações que se podem estabelecer, no texto literário, entre a História e a Ficção.
 The intertextual weaving of O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis is founded mainly on the appropriation of two discourses: one, literary – Fernando Pessoa’s and his heteronym’s discourses (which gives the novel his title) –, and another, referencial - the discourse of the newspapers read by Reis, which propagates Salazarist ideology in 1936. The description of the modes of intertextual weaving and the debate on the manner these discourses interact reveal the ironical status of the narrative, on which the questioning of history by fiction – carried out by the novel – is based.

De viagens e viajantes: Camões, Garrett e Saramago
Authors: Silva Teresa Cristina Cerdeira da
Published: July 2015

Leitura do projeto estético, ético e ideológico da tradição de viagens portuguesas a partir de Viagens na minha terra, de Almeida Garrett, e Viagem a Portugal, de José Saramago, textos que se constróem no avesso da tradição épica camoniana. Separados por mais de um século, esses textos se respondem, não apenas por uma afinidade temática e por uma relação de débito confessado do segundo em relação ao primeiro, mas sobretudo como narrativas de viagem no seio de uma tradicional cultura viageira, e como projeto de dar visibilidade a um país através de estratégias que, se são evidentemente diversas – pela distância temporal que separa as duas produções – não deixam de orientar-se por uma ética que resgata no povo a fonte benfazeja da tradição e da história
  Lecture du projet esthétique, éthique et idéologique de la tradition des voyages portugais à partir de Viagens na minha terra, d’ Almeida Garrett, et de Viagem a Portugal, de José Saramago, textes qui se créent à l’envers du mouvement traditionnel de l’épopée camonienne. Eloignés de plus d’un siècle, ces deux textes se répondent, non seulement par leurs affinités thématiques et par une dette confessée du second par rapport au premier, mais surtout par le fait de constituer des récits de voyage, dans l’ensemble d’une traditionnelle culture de voyageurs, et d’avoir tous les deux le but de rendre visible la terre portugaise à travers des stratégies qui, sûrement diverses – par la distance temporelle qui les sépare –, retrouvent leur fondement éthique dans l’image du peuple, source bienfaisante de la tradition et de l’histoire.
Ambiguidade e repetição em Non ou a vã glória de mandar
Authors: Maciel Emílio
Published: July 2015

No presente ensaio, nossa proposta é analisar o filme Non ou a vã glória de mandar, de Manoel de Oliveira, com ênfase em suas relações com a literatura e a história portuguesas. Para tanto, em um primeiro momento, centraremos nosso foco sobre o modo como a recuperação do passado, através de um amálgama de fatos e citações, concorre aí para a transformação da suposta realidade em um discurso, que se serve do potencial manipulador da montagem e, ao mesmo tempo, leva esse potencial à exaustão. Assim, considerando as aporias que o filme gera, procuraremos demonstrar como a repetição obsessiva de um “tropo” – o tema da vontade-de-poder fracassada – ao invés de contribuir para o reforço de uma idéia, acaba antes por ocasionar sua subversão gradativa. Em conseqüência, a possibilidade de um sentido uno, ao ser permeada por uma dúvida crescente, tenderá a transformar toda busca de fechamento em um esforço fadado ao fracasso, realçando, com isso, a inesgotabilidade última do texto fílmico em questão. Texto, esse, que será aqui lido como uma espécie de máquina perversa, voltada integralmente para a produção e reprodução da ambigüidade.

In this essay, our purpose is to analyse the film Non ou a vã glória de mandar, emphasizing its relationships with the portugese literature and history. For this matter, at first, we will focus on how the rescue of the past, trough an amalgam of facts and quotations, contributes to transform the assumed reality in a discourse, which takes advantage of the manipulative power of the editing and, at the same time, brings this power to a exaustion. Hence, considering the apories that the filme creates, we will try to show how the obsessive repetition of a topic – the theme of the deluded will to power – instead of endorsing the idea, causes its gradual subversion. Consequently, the possibility of a single sense, perpassed by a crescent doubt, will tend to convert every search for a closure in a effort destinated to failure, highlightining therefore the restlesness of the filmic text: a text that will be read now as a kind of perverse machine, integrally turned to the production and reproduction of ambiguity.

Eu te amo. Tu me amas. Nós sofremos e assim morremos de e por amor
Authors: Ferreira Nadiá Paulo
Published: July 2015

Os escritores do século XIX inventaram um culpado forte e poderoso para continuar acreditando no mito da Felicidade, quer como projeto político quer como dádiva do amor. A fé nesse ideal, cujas raízes se encontram no Iluminismo, determinou não só o engendramento de um desejo, que se manifesta sob a forma de um não a ordem constituída, mas também uma postura melancólica. Assim, o sofrimento se transforma em meio de gozo, dando lugar ao sentimento de culpa ou ao sacrifício heróico. A leitura de Viagens da minha terra, visa demonstrar o caráter paradigmático desse romance, na medida em que Almeida Garret ilustra todos os impasses do homem que acreditou e apostou nos ideais de sua época.
 Nineteen century writers found out a strong and powerful feeling of guilty to keep trusting the myth of happiness, both as a political project or a gift of love. Faith on this ideal, who roots come from Iluminism, determine the building of desire, expressed by denying a stablished order, but also a melancholical position. Due to it, suffering turns into a way of having pleasure, also dealing with guilt and heroical posture. By reading the novel Viagens da minha terra, one can perceive it’s paradigmatic aspect since Garret listed and ilustrated all corners man, at his time, believed and was driven into.
A VIAGEM IMAGINÁRIA EM BUSCA DE SI – POR ENTRE VOZES E SILÊNCIOS UM CERTO RELATO SE CONSTRÓI
Authors: Nercolini Marildo José
Published: July 2015

O entrelaçamento de culturas, em uma época em que tempo e espaço se diluem frente às novas possibilidades tecnológicas e as intensas migrações, possibilita o contato com o diverso de uma forma intensa, acarretando transformações identitárias também intensas. A identidade perde seus limites fixos e não mais fica à mercê da nação, da família e da raça. Sou eu, mas sou o outro, carrego parcelas desse outro em mim. O romance de Milton Hatoum, Relato de um certo oriente, permite-nos refletir sobre esse eu cindido e múltiplo. O exercício da expressão narrativa é buscado como caminho para situar-se, tentar delinear-se, mesmo que esse delineamento permaneça difuso e móvel, sempre deslocável. O que nos remete a questão: é possível, hoje, o desenho de uma identidade com traços nítidos e precisos?

El entrelazamiento de culturas, en un momento histórico en que tiempo y espacio se diluyen frente a las nuevas posibilidades tecnológicas y a las intensas migraciones, posibilita el contacto con lo diverso de una forma intensa, llevando a transformaciones de identidad igualmente intensas. La identidad pierde sus límites fijos y no queda ya a merced de nación, familia o raza. Soy yo, pero soy el otro, llevo conmigo parcelas de ese otro. La novela de Milton Hatoum, Relato de um certo oriente, nos permite reflexionar sobre ese yo escindido y múltiplo. Se busca el ejercicio de la expresión narrativa como camino para ubicarse, tratar de delinearse, aunque esa delineación permanezca difusa y móvil, siempre dislocada. Lo que nos remite a la pregunta: ¿es posible, hoy día, diseñar una identidad con trazos nítidos y precisos?

A necessidade de se exigir a comprovação de domínio de uma língua estrangeira é cada vez mais freqüente em um mundo no qual intercâmbios econômicos, culturais e políticos têm se multiplicado de forma acelerada. O conhecimento da língua e da cultura do outro funciona como passaporte que nos dá ingresso a novos espaços. No quadro de uma política de difusão de língua que se pretenda ágil e sintonizada com nosso tempo, buscar um sistema eficaz e confiável de certificação em Língua Portuguesa para estrangeiros que desejem estabelecer contato com nossa realidade e com nossa gente representa um desafio de monta. O exame para obtenção do Certificado de Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros – CELPE-BRAS, instituído pela Secretaria de Educação Superior (SESu) do Ministério da Educação e do Desporto (MEC), constitui a proposta oficial brasileira nesse sentido. Em nossa exposição, apresentaremos a trajetória, os objetivos, os pressupostos e o arcabouço do referido exame, abordando ainda o perfil da população-alvo, a dinâmica dos processos de aplicação e de avaliação, e os níveis de certificação instituídos.

The need to require proof of foreign language competence is increasingly common in the world of economic, cultural and political exchanges which is proliferating rapidly. Linguistic and cultural knowledge of other countries is a passport which allows us to enter new areas. Within a language diffusion policy that is intended to be agile and in tune with the times, the search for an efficient and reliable system of certification in Portuguese for foreigners who wish to enter into contact with our reality and with us represents a huge challenge. The examination for the Certificado de Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros – CELPE-BRAS (Certificate in Portuguese for Foreigners), instituted by the Secretary for Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and Sports, constitutes the official Brazilian proposal for this system. In this presentation, we will show the trajectory, the aims, the presuppositions and the overall philosophy of this examination, as well as indicating the target population profile, the dynamic of the processes of application and evaluation, and the levels of certification established.

DUAS ATUALIZAÇÕES DO DISCURSO DO VELHO DO RESTELO
Authors: Pinto Mária Márcia Matos
Published: July 2015

Neste texto, tratamos de duas apropriações do episódio do Velho do Restelo em romances de nossa época – Boca do Inferno (l989), de Ana Miranda, e Memorial do Convento (1982), de José Saramago. Procuramos então mostrar como a ambigüidade e a contradição que cercam o episódio dão margem a que os versos da epopéia camoniana apareçam em contextos marcados pela corrupção, autoritarismo e violência, levando a uma revisão do grande feito português dos descobrimentos pelas conseqüências que ele provocou.

In this text, we deal with two appropriations of the episode of the Velho do Restelo in two novels of our time – Boca do Inferno (1989), by Ana Miranda, and Memorial do Convento (1982), by José Saramago. We try to show then how the ambiguity and the contradiction that pervade the episode make it possible that the Camonian epic verses appear in contexts of corruption, authoritarianism and violence, leading to a review of the great Portuguese new land discovery accomplishment through its consequences.
