Literary study of nasal septum deviation: major considerations on the clinical anatomy

Introduction: The nasal septum wall, located midline in the nasal cavity, is formed by the perpendicular lamina of the ethmoid, the vomer and the cartilage of the nasal septum, but can deviate to both sides (right or left) in the nasal cavity. , for various reasons such as congenital disorders, inflammatory diseases, infectious or even trauma, causing the deviated septum. Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a literature review study on the clinical anatomy of nasal septum deviation. Methodology: The article is a literature review study.

Analysis of the applicability of bi software in companies

The study aims to describe, in a synthesized and analytical way, the Business Intelligence (BI) software, describing all its potential when used correctly within companies, as well as its main resources, tools, support technologies, architectures and technologies that aim to increase the efficiency of processes and the assertiveness of the information generated that will serve as an aid to rational decision-making.

Cardiovascular responses during postural reeducation postures in young adults

Postural changes drive away workers, generate public spending and require treatments. The most usual postural treatment is Postural Reeducation (PR), with static stretching and isometric contraction, which can increase heart rate (HR) and respiratory (R), blood pressure (BP) and bring risks. In order to investigate cardiovascular responses during postural reeducation postures in young adults, this study aimed to verify cardiovascular responses related to systolic blood pressure (SBP), blood pressure diastolic (DBP), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) during PR postures.

Lean manufacturing applied to collective food kitchens lean kitchen

The Lean Kitchen is based on the Japanese TPS (Toyota Production System) system that increases productivity, efficiency and effectiveness within the kitchens. One of the principles of this philosophy is to identify the problem, optimizing resources to reduce waste, that is, lean manufacturing, in terms of eliminating bottlenecks and gaps. This article brings the theme of Lean Kitchen, to increase productivity, efficiency and effectiveness within the kitchens, as well as the concept of value, in terms of how much the customer is willing to pay.

Mobile passenger and water loads mobile application "my boat"

In the northern region, more precisely in the state of Amazonas there is a great demand for river trips, rivers are the permanent roads that in the water regime puts to the test a whole logistics of passengers and cargo that require strategies for universal comfort of passengers, however the poor organization of ticket purchases ends up becoming a waste of time mainly for people who live far from the center of Manaus-AM, thus delaying these users who are often unable to make their trips.

Use of rfid technology in the identification, storage, control and movement of electronic urnes

This article brings an important part of Electoral Justice: the Electronic Ballot Box. The importance of the Electronic Ballot Box in the Electoral process is of great importance, as it provides a change in the process of receiving votes (representing the will of the voter), providing greater speed and security, in addition to the totalization and dissemination of those elected within a few hours, which used to take days.

Application development for academic queue management (FIFO)

This article describes a quantitative research carried out with students from an academic institution in the city of Manaus-AM. Starting from the hypothesis of the time that students are waiting in a queue at a secretariat. Bearing in mind that in the present times the Information Technology is in an increasing evolution, where the mobile means of communication such as smartphones and the internet connection are extremely accessible by the population, thinking about this scope and the solution of this problem that is common to society in general.

Variations of log diameter in clear lumber yield

The low yield and the high level of waste generated are a reality for many timber industries, the variation of the data can provide the increase of the conversion factor caused by the use of diameters with values below the desirable standard. The objective of this work was to evaluate the diameter Taeda pine wood with S2 and if there are interferences between the variations in diameter and the yield of the sawn wood. The diameter of the base and the top was checked over a period of one month, evaluating 02 loads per day, taking a sample of 32 logs per load.

Quality of life (qol) in children and adolescents with mucopolysaccharidosis

Objective: To assess quality of life (QOL) of children and adolescents with mucopolysaccharidosis, seen at a treatment center for innate errors in metabolism in Recife-PE. Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative and analytical approach. The instrument (Peds-QL) was applied to caregivers of children and adolescents with Mucopolysaccharidosis. Quality of life scores were correlated with numerical variables (Pearson's correlation coefficient) and median scores associated with clinical and sociodemographic variables (Kruskall Walls test).

Automatic increment in a knowledge base by means of fuzzy system with supervised machine learning

The integration between Machine Learning (ML) and Fuzzy Systems is a recurring theme in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specially regarding the deductive methods of a Fuzzy System, and, on the other hand, the inductive ones of ML. This article presents an experiment which integrates both approaches, thus showing that they may indeed be complementary. The experiments consists of providing a ML with a mechanism for automatic increment of its knowledge base by means of inserting examples (correctly classified by a Fuzzy Sistem) into supervised learning problems.
