title: Relationship between nasal septum morphology and nasal obstruction symptom severity: computed tomography study

description: Abstract Introduction The impact of the nasal septum morphology on the severity of obstruction symptoms has not been fully explored. Objective This study aimed to investigate whether the morphology of the deviated nasal septum assessed by computed tomography may explain nasal obstruction severity. Methods The study included 386 patients who were referred to the computed tomography examination of the paranasal sinuses. Patient selection criteria were the absence of facial anomalies, facial trauma, nasal surgery, and sinonasal tumors. Computed tomography images were used to estimate deviated nasal septum prevalence, the prevalence of Mladina's seven types of deviated nasal septum, and to measure the deviated nasal septum angle. Nasal obstruction severity was assessed by the nasal obstruction symptom evaluation, NOSE scale. The relationship between NOSE score, deviated nasal septum morphology, and deviated nasal septum angle was performed by a statistical regression model on the reduced sample of 225 patients. Results The prevalence of deviated nasal septum was 92.7%. Type 7 deviated nasal septum was the most frequent (34.2%) followed by type 5 (26.2%) and type 3 (23.6%). The worst NOSE scores were recorded in the type 2 deviated nasal septum (45.00 ± 28.28). The mean deviated nasal septum angle in patients with nasal obstruction was 8.5° ± 3.24. NOSE scores were not significantly associated with deviated nasal septum types and angles. Conclusion Patients with different types of deviated nasal septum have different NOSE scores. Computed tomography morphology of the deviated nasal septum could not fully explain the severity of nasal obstruction.

title: ON THE SYNTAX OF OUGHT-TO-BE CONSTRUCTIONS WITH AND WITHOUT A SPECIFIC ADDRESSEE

description: ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the (ought-to-be) deontic, which is analyzed from the concepts of obligation discussed in Castañeda (1970), Feldman (1986) and Hacquard (2006, 2010). From co-occurrence tests of an ought-to-be modal with other elements in the CP layer – in particular, with the wh-phrase por que ( why ) and with adverbial elements, it was found that ought-to-be is interpreted between the high projections IntP and ModP. It was also shown that an ought-to-be can be used in an utterance with or without a specific addressee and that this difference reflects in the syntax. The proposal is to extend the analysis by Portner, Pak and Zanuttini (2019), developed for Korean speech style particles, to the ought-to-be deontic, postulating that this deontic, when used with a specific addressee, integrates a structure in which the cP category is projected, which allows features that express the speaker-addressee relation, such as status, to be checked. Consequently, this modal is restricted to the matrix domain. When, however, it appears in an utterance without a specific addressee, it integrates a structure without the projection of cP, since it does not refer to the speaker-addressee relationship. In this case, it can appear in both the matrix and embedded domains.

title: SEMIODISCOURSIVE TRANSLATION IN THE FILM PARANOID PARK: NON-ORIGINAL MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK AS A STRATEGY FOR MEANING PRODUCTION

description: ABSTRACT The article examines the use of the non-original musical soundtrack in the film Paranoid Park , which is an adaptation of a homonymous novel, analyzing music as a discursive tool and, in the case of non-originality, a bricolated element related to the film through genre, melody and lyrics. Based on semiodiscourse theory, which combines narrativity, discourse and tensivity, the musical texts will be discussed from the point of view of two theorists: Pietroforte and Zilberberg. From the former, we will discuss the typology of musical discourse regimes, which understands the musical text as more or less related to the verbal language and natural sounds. From the latter, we will approach the discursive notion of the rhetoric of the event , which will be important to understand the discursive strategy of the novel and the film, and the construction of the character’s inner space. Departing from three genres played in the movie, we will observe how non-original songs and music are used as rhetorical devices that are symbolic and part of shared beliefs and knowledges of social groups; and motivated by the narrative in which they are inserted, sharing their semantic elements with the image, and supporting semi-symbolic operations.

title: Employment of chitosan in the removal of pollutants in fish processing effluents

description: ABSTRACT The significant growth of the industrial sector in recent decades has led to an increase in the volume of waste, which if not properly destined, could cause serious environmental problems. In the context of aquaculture, liquid effluents with a high organic content are generated in large quantities in the fish processing industries, and if their disposal is carried out improperly, serious damage to the environment is caused. The general objective of this study is to evaluate: the efficiency of removal of COD and BOD, in addition to the influence on pH; alkalinity; chlorides; ammonia; nitrite; nitrate; phosphate; turbidity; total, fixed and volatile solids, from the effluent of fish processing treated by coagulation and sedimentation using the natural chitosan coagulant. pH 5.5 followed by pH 6 showed better results for the use of chitosan coagulant in the process of treatment by effluent coagulation of fish processing industry. Chitosan does not act on the parameters TVS, alkalinity, chlorides, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate, regardless of the dosage used. However, it acts on BOD, COD, TS, TFS and turbidity. Thus, the best dosage of chitosan is 0.25 g L-1 in optimized activity at pH of 5.5.

title: Financial efficiency in the confinement system for beef cattle

description: ABSTRACT The beef cattle breeding system in Brazil has been growing more and more in the history of animal production, leading the country to fit into the world scenario as the main exporter of beef. Seeking to increase this efficiency, the objective of this paper is to evaluate factors that affect the confinement of beef cattle, influencing the Profitability and Return of the system, to define values that maximize them. To do so, a database was used. It consisted of the observation of 1961 animals, collected in the commercial confinement of Fazenda Bragança, in the city of Lucas do Rio Verde - MT. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression models, in which the financial gain, Profitability and Return variables were explained by the variables: race, entry weight and days in confinement, selected by the stepwise method. Based on the results, there is greater financial efficiency for animals that enter the feedlot with greater weight and that remain for 163 days. It is concluded that the entry weight and days in confinement significantly influence the financial efficiency, allowing the adjusted equations to help producers in making decisions regarding the formation of lots and, mainly, in the purchase of animals.

title: Impact of resection margin status and revision transoral laser microsurgery in early glottic cancer: analysis of organ preservation and local disease control on a cohort of 153 patients

description: Abstract Introduction Transoral laser microsurgery represents the treatment of choice for early glottic cancer. Its use and effectiveness are mainly related to laryngeal exposure and deep extension of tumor. Histopathologic assessment of surgical margin presents a main issue about transoral laser microsurgery and complete oncological excision. Objective The aim was to analyze the impact of revision surgery on organ preservation and local disease control in patients with early glottic cancer treated by transoral laser microsurgery. Methods We carried out a retrospective study on a cohort of 153 patients with early glottic cancer (Tis, T1, T2) treated by transoral laser microsurgery. Resection margins were classified as follows: “free” if macroscopic margin-tumor distance was at least 2 mm, as “close” if it was less than 2 mm and “positive” if the margin was involved by carcinoma. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with free resection margins (Group A) and patients with positive, close or not-evaluable resection margins (Group B). Group A (36) underwent periodic followup. Group B (117) underwent a second look laser CO2 2 months after surgery. Fifteen patients of Group A with suspected persistence of carcinoma during followup underwent a second laser resection after a time interval of 4-8 months after first surgery. Overall survival, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival, ultimate local control with laser alone and organ preservation rates were estimated. Results Five-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-specific survival were 100% in both groups. The five-year laryngeal preservation rate was 100% in Group A and 95.2% in Group B. Five-year disease-free survival was 92.15% and 5-year ultimate local control with laser alone in 92.15% of patients. Conclusion This study has demonstrated that revision Transoral Laser Microsurgery is able to confirm the oncological radicality in most cases, even in the case of positive, close or non-evaluable margins. Considering our results, according to our experience, the second look with CO2 laser is a therapeutic strategy to consider, even in the case of close or non-evaluable as well as positive margins.

title: Management of rice straw in rice-soybean succession in tropical lowland

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze rice straw alternative managements to maximize the rice-soybean succession yield and to quantify their impacts on soil properties. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design with six replicates. Nine rice straw managements were evaluated: straw burning (M1), straw harvesting (M2), straw incorporation with disc harrow and two passes (M3) or three passes (M4) of leveling disc harrow, straw incorporation with knife-roller and soybean no-tillage (M5), straw incorporation with knife-roller and two passes (M6) or three passes (M7) of leveling disc harrow, straw incorporation with two passes of knife-roller and two passes (M8) or three passes (M9) of leveling disc harrow. Straw incorporation by knife-roller provided the lowest soil organic matter (SOM) contents due to slow mineralization of fresh straw incorporated shallow into the soil, although SOM increased in the surface layer related to the initial content. Rice-soybean succession yield was more affected by the physical than by the soil chemical properties. The straw incorporation with one pass of knife-roller and two passes of leveling disc harrow (M6) can replace the straw burning, without affecting the rice-soybean succession yield and soil physical quality, with a reduction in machinery operations, allowing early soil tillage.

title: Tourism as a market creator for handicrafts in Mato Grosso do Sul

description: Abstract The object of the study was tourism as an instrument of market production for handicrafts from Mato Grosso do Sul. The objective of the research was to analyze the relationship between tourist activity and handicraft in the state, and, for this purpose, semi-structured interviews were carried out with those responsible for handicraft stores, tourists, and autochthonous people along all the entrances in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and its rising and falling tourist destinations, thus covering the entirety of supply points and localities of incidence of production and consumption of handicraft items. This action resulted in on-site observations and the generation of photographic records illustrating the points susceptible of inference. The results show an inseparable relationship between tourism and handicraft, since the first produces a market for the second, which in turn molds itself to the first, with a relationship engendered from the demand of tourists who use the active tourist circuit. However, the tripod of sustainable development – economy, environment, and society – is not a reference for companies that sell handcrafted items to tourists, which are limited to seeing commerce as an exclusive source of profit, with few representatives genuinely interested in the context of culture and of the story that a handcrafted piece can represent.
