▼ A brief reading
assessment and preference
assessment were conducted with three participants with developmental and learning disabilities (i.e., two participants were diagnosed with Autism, the third participant was diagnosed with intellectual disability) who did not acquire fluent reading in previous individualized instruction. The results of the brief reading
assessment were analyzed in an alternating treatment design and a preference
assessment was conducted to determine the participants' preferred reading intervention. Following the results of the two assessments, a reading intervention that matched effectiveness with preference when possible or favored effectiveness when a match was not possible. The selected interventions (and later combined interventions) were implemented for each participant using an A-B-A-C or an A-B-A-C-D design. The results suggest that the four reading strategies are effective options for improving reading fluency. Also, a brief reading
assessment can help identify an effective reading strategy. The results are discussed in the context of fluency gains, limitations, and implications for future research.

▼ This thesis investigates the impact of a change introduced at a high-stake language exam in
Hungary, following a paradigm shift concerning a test task eliciting an individual long turn
from candidates. Originally, this task required test takers to produce a long turn and then to
participate in interaction within the same task. Now, the task aims to assess production only,
with awarding lower test scores concerning two components, namely Communicative value
and Discourse management, of the rating scale if interaction is to take place. The findings
contradict well-established results of the fluency-accuracy continuum research. What is more,
significant changes in test scores can only be observed at the components in which no
changes were made.

▼ A good
oral health self-perception can contribute to improved knowledge of
oral health self-care
and practice as well as increase the proper use of dental care services. This study evaluated how
adolescents from urban and peri-urban Maputo City assess their
oral health status, behaviour and
oral health risk factors. This is an analytic cross-sectional study, conducted in the urban and
peri-urban schools of Maputo City involving adolescents in the age groups of 12 and 15-19
years old. The study was carried out in five schools, three Complete Primary schools and two
Secondary schools from urban and peri-urban areas in Maputo City selected by convenience due
to their geographic location. The size of the sample was 500 comprising 236 twelve year olds
and 264 15-19 year olds. Data was collected using a self-completion questionnaire designed by
the World Health Organization (WHO) and translated into Portuguese. The questionnaire
included variables such as socio-demographic data (age, gender, location and parent or guardian
level of education), self-
assessment of
oral health status and quality of life; self reported
oral
health behaviour and lifestyles,
oral health risk factor knowledge (alcohol, tobacco and dietary),
dental visits and daily impact of
oral health. Chi-square for associations and a Spearman
correlation tests were used to determine relationships between categorical data. All tests were
assumed statistically significant at p≤0.05. The results showed that most of the adolescents
classified their teeth (49.7%) and gum (38.2%) health as normal. There was no statistical
difference between adolescents from urban and peri-urban schools (Spearman rs (399) = 0,114, p
=0,02). The majority (n=322; 65.2%) of the adolescents clean their teeth twice a day. There was
no difference between school level (primary and secondary school) and frequency of teeth
cleaning. Most of the adolescents use a toothbrush (97.8%) and toothpaste (93.5%) to clean their
teeth and only 11.9% also use dental floss but 52.1% didn´t know if their toothpaste was
fluoridated or not. Smoking was reported by less than 1% of the adolescents. The main reason
for dental service utilization, (reported by 67.5%) was pain or problems with teeth, gums or
mouth. There was an association between
oral health status and problems experienced in daily
life because of their teeth and mouth. There was no significant difference for
oral health
assessment, risk factors and behaviours, between adolescents from urban and peri-urban schools.
Although some satisfactory results were found, the need to strengthen
oral health promotion in
schools is high, especially considering the causes for dental service utilization were mostly pain
and trouble with teeth in this group.

▼ Workgroup is an optional pass/fail supplemental course to Calculus that emphasizes collaborative work in a small group setting. We conduct a mixed-methods study to evaluate the effectiveness of Calculus 1 Workgroup on student performance in Calculus 1 for Engineers. We analyze a dataset that contains 733 observations and 35 predictor variables. We use AnswerTree software by SPSS to create decision trees to assess the biggest predicting factors for Calculus 1 course-grades. We then compare Workgroup students and non-Workgroup students based on factors resulting from AnswerTree, including predicted grade point average (PGPA), to evaluate the effectiveness of Workgroup on student performance. We find that in the academic year of 2013 - 2014, Workgroup did not significantly improve performance in Calculus.
We also analyze a survey taken by Workgroup students to have a better understanding of student attitudes toward Calculus, Workgroup, and
Oral Assessments, a large component of Workgroup. Within the subgroup of Workgroup students, we compare students who are required to enroll in Workgroup to those who choose to enroll. We show that students who enroll in Workgroup have a higher PGPA on average than those who do not enroll. Further, we show that students who are required to take Workgroup (by scholarship) have a significantly higher PGPA than students who choose to enroll in Workgroup. Yet, we find no significant difference in course grade between required Workgroup students, non-required Workgroup students, and non-Workgroup students. Lastly, we note a correlation between the requirement to take Workgroup and attitude toward Workgroup.

▼ Assessment and treatment of tethered oral tissue, or tongue tie, vary within and across providers, resulting in inconsistent surgical and therapeutic outcomes. Assessment and treatment have historically focused on the anatomical (structural) underpinnings of tongue tie, as opposed to the physiological (functional) aspects that can affect daily activities. This is particularly noteworthy in the infant population in regards to breastfeeding. Clinical findings, however, suggest that connections exist between tongue tie and a variety of other oral functions that go beyond breastfeeding. The goal of this research was to examine a relatively small group of breastfed infants with tethered oral tissue holistically prior to and at one week and three weeks following surgical intervention for tethered oral tissue using a particular laser (i.e., frenectomy). Data were obtained through direct observation of structural and behavioral changes, as well as a parent questionnaire.
Questionnaire results indicated problems across a wide spectrum of oral dysfunction symptoms known to be associated with tethered oral tissue and of perceived changes post-operatively. The role of supplemental aftercare therapy following frenectomy and its perceived value were discussed. In addition, the role of supplemental therapy as a form of non-surgical intervention was examined using a small sample size. This research suggested that differences exist in oral function of the infant and for maternal breastfeeding complications before and after frenectomy, but that these differences are not dependent on the appearance (or perceived visual severity) of the restrictive tissue. Evaluation of the whole child and the breastfeeding dyad together is critical to determine the relationship between anatomic structure and function. Surgical intervention for the treatment of tethered oral tissue, as well as therapeutic care from a skilled provider, should be considered for breastfeeding dyads who exhibit signs and symptoms of oral dysfunction.

Development and evaluation of a spoken dialog system-mediated paired oral task for measuring second language oral communication ability in English.

▼ Paired/group oral tasks have been shown to be effective in assessing aspects of second language (L2) oral communication ability (OCA) (e.g., Bonk & Ockey, 2003; Taylor, 2011), especially interactional competence (IC) (e.g., Galaczi, 2014; May, Nakatsuhara, Lam, & Galaczi, 2020). However, the use of these tasks in large-scale assessments is limited because of the impracticality of task administration and the potential impact of interlocutor characteristics on oral performance (e.g., Ockey, 2009; O’Sullivan, 2002). Thus, there is a need for a practical and standard way to administer such tasks. One possible way to address this need is by designing Spoken Dialog Systems (SDSs) to deliver versions of paired/group oral tasks in which computers act as conversation partners and engage in discussions with test takers. Given the lack of research on this potential solution, the current dissertation study aimed to (1) develop a prototype SDS-mediated paired oral task (SDS-POT) and (2) evaluate the appropriateness of the task for assessing L2 oral communication. The study was guided by two methodological frameworks: design-based research (McKenney & Reeves, 2012; Wang & Hanafin, 2005) and argument-based validity (Chapelle, 2021; Kane, 2006, 2013).
Based on research on SDS design and L2 oral assessment task design, the prototype SDS-POT was developed in five steps: (1) designing a paired oral task, (2) building an SDS architecture, (3) creating and analyzing a seed corpus for algorithm development, (4) developing task-specific algorithms, and (5) testing and refining the algorithms. A 4-point holistic rating scale was also devised using information obtained from two sources: a literature review on the construct of L2 OCA and a preliminary test taker discourse analysis. Following the principles of design-based research (McKenney & Reeves, 2012; Wang & Hanafin, 2005), the entire task and rating scale development process were documented to provide guidance for other test developers and researchers on building SDSs for paired oral tasks.
Utilizing the conceptual tools provided by the argument-based validity framework (Chapelle, 2021; Kane, 2006, 2013), an interpretation use argument for the SDS-POT was constructed to specify the evidence needed to support the interpretations and uses of the task scores. Through the development and evaluation of the task, various types of validity evidence were sought to justify four inferences: construct/domain definition, evaluation, generalization, and explanation. Backing for the construct/domain definition and generalization inferences came mainly from the task and rating scale development documentation. Backing for the evaluation and explanation inferences was obtained through an empirical evaluation study. Using a mixed methods convergent design, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 30 test takers (English as a Second Language students at a Midwestern university in the U.S.) and three experienced raters. The qualitative data consisted of test taker oral task responses,…

▼ Oral assessment in education is a worldwide phenomenon, which is faced with a number of challenges. Studies conducted internationally and locally reveal that teachers experience problems/and or challenges when conducting
oral assessment to second language learners or foreign language speakers. Therefore, this study explored teachers‟ experiences of conducting
oral assessment in Grade 10 in the Curriculum and Policy Statement (CAPS).
The study was located within the interpretive paradigm and employed a qualitative case study approach to explore. Four teachers were purposively selected from two township high schools in Pinetown District in the Province of KwaZulu Natal because of their qualifications, and experiences of conducting
oral assessment. Spider web by Van den Akker (2009) was used as a Conceptual framework for this study. Data generation methods for the study were reflective activity, one-on-one semi structured interviews and focus group discussions. The researcher observed all ethical issues.
This study found that teachers were conducting
oral assessment using a “synergy “of rationales. This suggests that teachers were uncertain of the rationale for assessing orals. Furthermore, the findings revealed that teachers lacked understanding of
oral assessment goals. They showed varying degrees of understanding
oral assessment goals (aims, objectives and outcomes). It is recommended that
subject specialist must ensure that cluster meetings as well as workshop are organised on a regular basis in order to improve teachers‟
oral assessment practices.

▼ An instrument for valid, quantitative assessment of scientists’ public communication promises to promote improved science communication by giving formative feedback to scientists developing their communication skills and providing a mechanism for summative assessment of communication training programs for scientists. A quantitative instrument also fits with the scientific ethos, increasing the likelihood that the assessment will gain individual and institutional adoption. Unfortunately, past assessment instruments have fallen short in providing a methodologically sound, theory-based assessment instrument to use in assessing public science communication. This dissertation uses the Evidence Centered Design (ECD) method for language testing to develop and test the APPS—the Assessment for Public Presentations by Scientists—a f filled-cell rubric and accompanying code book based on communication theory and practice that can be used to provide formative and summative assessments of scientists giving informative presentations to public, non-scientist audiences.
The APPS rubric was developed by employing an extensive domain analysis to establish the knowledge, skills, and abilities most desired for scientists who speak to public audiences, based on a methodical review of scientific organizations and a systematic review of science communication scholarship. This analysis found that scientists addressing public audiences should speak in language that is understandable, concrete, and free from scientific jargon, translating important scientific information into language that public audiences can understand; should convey the relevance and importance of science to the everyday lives of audience members; should employ visuals that enhance the presentations; should explain scientific processes, techniques, and purposes; should engage in behaviors that increase the audience’s perceptions of scientists as trustworthy, human, and approachable; and should engage in interactive exchanges about science with public audiences. The APPS operationalizes these skills and abilities, using communication theory, in a detailed, user-friendly rubric and code book for assessing public communication by scientists. The rubric delineates theory-based techniques for demonstrating the desired skills, such as using explanatory metaphors, engaging in behaviors that increase immediacy, using first-person pronouns, telling personal stories, and engaging in back-and-forth conversation with the audience.
Four rounds of testing provided evidence that the final version of the APPS is a reliable and valid assessment, with constructs that measure what they are intended to measure and that are seen similarly by different raters when used in conjunction with rater training. Early rounds of testing showed the need to adjust wording and understanding of some of the constructs so that raters understood them similarly, and later testing showed marked improvement in those areas. Although the stringent interclass agreement measure Cohen’s kappa did not show strong…

▼ A importância da fluência
oral no desenvolvimento da linguagem e posteriormente no
desenvolvimento das competências de literacia, tem sido amplamente referida na literatura
como crucial para o sucesso académico, comunicacional e emocional das crianças. Dada a
relevância da temática da fluência, e com a finalidade de estudar a fluência
oral em crianças de
idade escolar, foram delineados os seguintes objetivos para esta dissertação: (1) a construção de
um instrumento de avaliação da fluência
oral (AFO); (2) avaliar e caracterizar a fluência do
discurso segundo a tipologia e frequência ao nível das disfluências e segundo o débito, e (3)
verificar a existência de relações nos resultados obtidos na fluência e na linguagem. Participaram
neste estudo 77 crianças, com e sem Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE), dos 8 e os 9
anos, que frequentam o 3º ano do ensino básico, de um agrupamento escolar da região norte.
Através da análise dos resultados obtidos verificou-se que: a) as crianças apresentam
uma frequência de disfluências adequada segundo os parâmetros recomendados (<10
disfluências/100 palavras); b) as disfluências mais frequentes no discurso
oral são as
reformulações (R) (96,1%), as pausas preenchidas (PP) (88,3%), a repetição de palavras
monossilábicas (RPM) (87%) e os prolongamentos (P) (81,8%); c) o débito é inferior (69,16
palavras/minuto) ao retratado na literatura internacional (115 a 165 palavras/minuto); d)
existem diferenças, estatisticamente significativas, nas competências de linguagem e na fluência
nas crianças com e sem NEE; e) as crianças com NEE que participaram neste estudo (9,09%)
apresentam, em média, um débito inferior e uma frequência de disfluências superior, ao mesmo
tempo que apresentam valores inferiores na linguagem; e f) identificou-se uma relação entre as
componentes da linguagem (morfossintaxe e fonologia) e a fluência , demonstrando que, quanto
mais apropriadas forem as competências linguísticas menor a probabilidade de ocorrência de
disfluências. Relativamente à AFO, tanto a consistência interna dos itens que avaliam as
disfluências (α=0,76), como a consistência interna dos itens relacionados com a velocidade de
fala (α=0,75) é considerada boa/moderada. Assim, recomendamos o uso do AFO em estudos
posteriores de análise e validação do instrumento, de forma a contribuir para uma identificação
de problemas na fala e adequada intervenção o mais precocemente possível.

Geriatric dentistry
Povećanje broja starijih institucionalizovanih
osoba u svetu iziskuje dobru opštu zdravstvenu i stomatološku
zaštitu ove grupe ljudi. Poboljšanje oralnog zdravlja može
poboljšati opšte zdravlje i kvalitet bolesti i gubitka zuba. Pomoć
u održavanju dobre oralne higijene, može uticati i na opšte
zdravstveno stanje i kvalitet života korisnika domova za stara
lica. CILJ. Cilj istraživanja bio je lica u Srbiji pomoću Geriatric
Oral Health Assessment indeksa (GOHAI). Takođe, cilj da se ispita
oralno zdravlje i njegova povezanost sa kvalitetom života korisnika
domova za stara rada bio je ispitati nivo oralne higijene, zatim
dentalni, parodontalni i protetski status institucionalizovanih
osoba. Cilj je bio da se ispitaju stavovi i znanje negovatelja o
oralnom zdravlju, kao i praksa koju primjenjuju u domovima za stara
lica u Srbiji. MATERIJAL I METODE. Istraživanje je sprovedeno u
ustanovi Gerontološki Centar Beograd, koji se sastoji od četiri
doma za stara lica, locirana u urbanom području. Intervjuisana je i
pregledana 301 osoba. Intervju je obuhvatio sociodemografske
podatke, navike u održavanju oralne života korisnika domova za
stara lica. Kod starijih osoba, korisnika domova za stara lica,
postoji povećani rizik od nastanka karijesa, parodontalne higijene,
subjektivnu procenu opšteg zdravstvenog stanja i stomatoprotetskog
statusa. Kliničkim pregledom utvrđen je status zuba i parodontalnih
tkiva korišćenjem DFMT i CPITN indeksa. Evidentirano je i zdravlje
mekih tkiva usta. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 58 negovatelja,
koji su kontaktirani radnim danima, u svim radnim smenama. Oni su
zamoljeni da samostalno ispune upitnik sastavljen od pitanja
zatvorenog tipa. Postojeće proteze ocenjene su u pogledu retencije,
stabilizacije, abradiranosti, higijene i neophodnosti reparature.
Kontrolnu grupu su predstavljali pacijenti korisnici usluga Klinike

▼ Elicited imitation (EI) is a method of assessing oral proficiency in which the examinee listens to a prompt and attempts to repeat it back exactly as it was heard. Research over recent decades has successfully established correlation between EI testing and other oral proficiency tests, such as the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and the OPI by computer (OPIc). This paper details the history of oral proficiency assessment as well as that of EI. It then outlines the development process and validation of a Portuguese Elicited Imitation test. The processes of item selection and item validation are detailed followed by the criterion-related validation through a statistical correlation analysis of participants' results on an official American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) OPIc and their predicted OPIc scores which were based on their results of the Portuguese EI calibration test. Results of the statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between the predicted scores of the EI test and the actual OPIc scores. In order to go beyond previously completed EI research, this paper addresses the issue of face validity which has been a challenge for the proliferation of EI testing. Analysis of a survey administered after participants' completion of the two tests (OPIc and EI) addresses the experiences and reactions of the participants to the two testing formats. Suggestions for future use of EI as well as future research will be presented.

▼ Purpose: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic genetic disorder that an individual has at birth. Cystic fibrosis impacts equally all races, gender and becomes worse over time. The aim of this current study was to evaluate
oral health status, interaction with the
oral health system, and
oral health awareness in adults with cystic fibrosis. Methods: A validated survey consisting of 27 questions was distributed online through cystic fibrosis Facebook pages. Individuals with CF who were 18 years old or older, residing in the U.S. and having English as their primary language were asked to respond to the survey. Independent variables were demographic categories, whereas the dependent variables were
oral health
assessment, interaction with the
oral health system, and
oral health awareness. Results: Out of 350 sample sizes, a total of 133 responses were received; 87 met inclusion criteria. Respondents were 75% female, 50% were single, and 58.6% were employed. Seventy percent reported an annual household income more than $35,000. Good to very good conditions of the mouth and the teeth were reported by respondents with four-year college degree or higher. Married respondents were more likely to have dental insurance, visit a dental office and to have visited a dentist within 12 months. Female 33 and older scored higher on the
oral health awareness scale than younger respondents. Conclusion: Although most respondents reported good or very good
oral health, 52.7% reported dry mouth, 31% reported difficulty chewing food, and 29.1% reported seeing blood on their toothbrushes. Better
oral health habits with additional education for CF adults are needed.

▼ Purpose: The purpose of this project was to evaluate student self-
assessment of operative dentistry experiences. Methods: First, a retrospective analysis of student self-
assessment and faculty
assessment grade sheets were evaluated for mean differences and correlations across time. Both preclinical (D2: n=120) and clinical (D3: n=120; D4: n=120) grades sheets were evaluated. Secondly, twenty-five (n=25) students from each of the D1, D2, D3 and D4 classes were asked to evaluate dentoform work. Twenty-five (n=25) operative calibrated faculty graded the same two dentoforms. Results: D2 student’s self-
assessment scores were significantly higher than the faculty
assessment scores (t-test; p0.05) and there was a positive correlation of scores (r= 0.408). On the prospective analysis, D1 dental students, D2 dental students and D3 dental students graded significantly higher (ANOVA; p

▼ The aim of this classroom-based research project was to gain insight into student perceptions and performances in two different
oral assessment formats: a one-on-one interview with the teacher and a paired interaction with a classmate. The participants were 6 female and 6 male international students enrolled in high-intermediate level ESL courses in the Intensive English Center at a mid-size university. In a within-
subject designed format, the students alternated the order in which they participated in the test formats, with two alternating speaking prompts. Data collected via pre-test and post-test questionnaires was analyzed in terms of seven themes of perception:
nervousness, preparedness, interest, interaction, effectiveness of format, belief in performance, and
preference. The results indicated that students’ attitudes towards the two formats were generally positive and that there was not a significant difference in regard to themes of perception within the two formats. After performing a paired samples t-test with the average group scores from the two assessments, results revealed that the test format did not have a statistically significant effect on performance. However, as evidenced by post-test questionnaire data and student commentary analysis, it can be concluded that the two test formats are not equal interactions and should not be considered equal measurements of
oral proficiency. The implication on pedagogy is that teachers should utilize the two test formats for different purposes in their
assessment practices.

▼ A condição bucal e a falta de condições mastigatórias adequadas têm sido implicadas como indicadores de risco para má alimentação e desnutrição. Indivíduos com um número menor de dentes ou edêntulos são considerados menos propensos a comer alimentos ricos em nutrientes, como vegetais, frutas, carne e grãos integrais. Há evidências que a condição bucal alterada causa restrições dietéticas através da dificuldade em mastigar, comprometendo o estado nutricional e bem-estar dos indivíduos. Esta dissertação é composta por dois estudos, uma revisão sistemática da literatura com meta- análise e um estudo transversal. A revisão sistemática da literatura com meta-analise avaliou e comparou o estado de saúde bucal (perda de dentes, uso de prótese e DMFT) em idosos bem-nutridos, em risco de desnutrição e indivíduos desnutridos. Dois pesquisadores analisaram a inclusão dos títulos, resumos, leitura completa (MPT e FWMGM), outros dois fizeram a extração de dados dos artigos (PSA e MPT) e se um consenso não fosse possível, um terceiro pesquisador estaria incluído neste processo. De 110 artigos lidos na íntegra, 26 foram incluídos na revisão sistemática, dos quais 23 eram transversais. Foi demonstrado que os sujeitos com estado nutricional normal tinham um número significativamente maior de pares de dentes / Unidades Funcionais de Dentes (FTU) em comparação com aqueles que estavam desnutridos ou em risco de desnutrição. As meta-análises não mostraram associação estatisticamente significante entre edentulismo e uso de prótese, pois o risco relativo combinado foi de 1,072 (IC 95% 0,957 - 1,200, p = 0,230) e 0,874 (IC 95%: 0,710 - 1,075, p = 0,202). Por outro lado, o desvio padrão médio do número médio de dentes presentes foi de -0,141 (IC 95% -0,278 - 0,005, p = 0,042) em indivíduos com desnutrição / risco de desnutrição. O estudo transversal avaliou a condição bucal e o estado nutricional de pacientes que se encontravam internados nas enfermarias do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), no período de dezembro de 2015 e junho de 2016. O presente estudo incluiu 394 participantes com idade média de 63.43±10.76 entre os indivíduos diabéticos (87 mulheres e 110 homens) e 59,85±15,18 entre os não diabéticos (93 mulheres e 104 homens). Os indivíduos diabéticos (18,33±12,79) permaneceram em média mais tempo internados do que os indivíduos não diabéticos (16,53±14,54). As variáveis sexo, número de dentes, tempo de internação e capacidade funcional mastigatória estavam associadas à desnutrição na análise uni-variada. Na análise multivariada, sexo, número de dentes e tempo de internação mantiveram-se associados à desnutrição. Apresente dissertação conclui que existe associação entre a condição bucal e a desnutrição. Indivíduos com perdas dentárias apresentam maior risco desnutrição, o que foi demostrado tanto na meta análise quanto no estudo transversal.
The oral condition and the lack of adequate masticatory conditions have been implicated as risk indicators for malnutrition and malnutrition. Individuals with fewer teeth or…

▼ Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de verificar a adequação de duas provas de avaliação do desenvolvimento da linguagem, (Teste de Vocabulário em Imagens Peabody e a bateria Dial 3 Developmental Indicators for the
Assessment of Learning, Third Edition Linguage Área) para serem utilizadas em instituições de Educação Infantil de Itajaí. Como sujeitos 67 crianças de 3a8m a 5a2m (média 4a 4m) de um Centro de Educação Infantil (CEI) da rede pública de Itajaí, e 38 crianças de 3a0m a 6a3m (média 4a6m) do Colégio de Aplicação (CA) de uma Universidade de Santa Catarina. Foram seguidos referenciais que destacam a importância do contexto cultural no desenvolvimento da linguagem como os estudos da psicologia cultural de Bruner e contribuições de Vigotski. Os dados colhidos foram analisados através do programa SPSS o qual permite a confecção de tabelas e gráficos facilitando sua visualização, sendo também realizada uma análise qualitativa dos dados do testes DIAL 3. Observou-se que a evolução das crianças do CA ocorre em uma taxa de progresso maior que a das crianças do CEI apesar de alguns momentos a diferença entre a evolução das crianças ser mais significativa e em outros menos. As crianças do CEI, mesmo passando mais tempo na instituição que as crianças do CA, têm um menor desenvolvimento na área de linguagem. Conclui-se que as experiências de linguagem proporcionadas às crianças nos CEIs não estão sendo suficientes para minimizar as diferenças em desenvolvimento relacionadas com as condições sócio-econômicas.

▼ The present research aims at describing the role examiners play in speaking tests by focusing on the ways in which they get involved in the candidates’ oral performance and examining the potential effects such involvement may have on the assessment of this performance. Since the assessment of oral proficiency has been characterised as a real challenge in the field of foreign language testing and assessment; and since the examiners have been recognised as one of the many variables which affect candidate performance and the assessment of it; investigation into the way examiners enact their role as interlocutors is inextricably linked with the demand for rigorous examiner training and monitoring of their practices, this aiming at increasing fairness in speaking test procedures. Drawing data from the speaking test of a relatively new foreign language examination battery, the KPG exams in English, at levels B2 (Independent User) and C1 (Proficient User), the present study has utilised three different types of methodology to attain the goals it set. Observation of actual examinations has yielded a list of types of examiner involvement and the frequency of their occurrence. It has also shed light into some types of candidate action or non-action causing such involvement as well as effects of different types of involvement on the candidate performance. A combined method of Discourse and Conversation Analysis of transcribed simulated speaking tests was then used to thoroughly study examples of examiner involvement, identify their causes and evaluate their effect on the candidate linguistic output; while systematicity of co-occurrence of specific types of causes-involvement-effects was also sought and recorded. Finally, written protocols by raters who assessed the simulated speaking tests were obtained with a view to revealing ways in which examiner involvement may influence the rating procedure. Although it has remained unclear how raters internalised examiner involvement in their assessment, they did appear to observe it and comment on it quite frequently. Finally, a model was derived depicting how examiners may be embedded in the candidates’ performance and potentially in the rating of this performance.Since the demand for coherence and transparency in language certification have been repeatedly accentuated and especially emphasised with the introduction of the CEFR, the present research provides valuable findings about the role of the examiner in the speaking test procedure and methodological ideas, which may and should be exploited in the training of oral examiners and the improvement of the testing procedure of the KPG exams as well as the monitoring and development of various oral tests, all of which pursue increased validity in examiner performance and inter- and intra-examiner reliability.

▼ Feedback has an important role to play in the performance of learners. This study looks to identify the challenges that the learners are faced with when the teachers provide them with feedback and the ways they would like like it to be used in order to see feedback assisting them in their learning and improve their performance. Feedback contributes a lot to
assessment and has a close link with performance.
The study used the qualitative approach to identify the challenges the learners experience when they receive the feedback from their teachers. The participants were sampled from grade 12 learners in the form of a focus group (seven to ten per school) and individual respondents. The m
ethod used semi-structured interviews and portfolio observations to collect the data from two high schools in East London (EL) district to look at the nature of the feedback provided to learners. The data was later analysed and interpreted.
It has been identified that for both schools feedback conveyed certain messages to learners such motivation to do better, a need to do better and, lastly, affirmation that the learners are on the right track or they are neglected and left to figure out how to do the tasks. The study discovered that, according to Hattie and Timperley (2007)’ there are four levels of feedback. It was found that for the task level learners from school A mainly received
oral feedback which was often seen as denigrating them; however, in school B learners received both the
oral and written feedback. They felt that the feedback assisted them to understand the task at hand. They also saw this as a way of building up their confidence in all the tasks they come across. Secondly, in the process level, learners in school A did not report receiving feedback at this level but only
oral feedback which does not show their mistakes step by step in the task, yet in school B they reported that they got feedback from their teacher individually to help them understand the task. Thirdly, for the self regulation level, in school A there was no data to confirm this. Regarding school B, learners were being assisted by the feedback they received from their teacher and this caused them to monitor their progress. The fourth and last level is the self or personal evaluation where in school A learners were not able to evaluate themselves because they did not receive written feedback, whereas in school B learners could do that freely referring to the written comments from their teacher.
The research therefore concluded that in one of the schools the four levels that the study was looking at were not all addressed and thus no meaningful feedback was given. For school B the teacher gave them the feedback which has contributed a lot in their learning.
The study recommends that feedback should not be used for right or wrong answers but it must also state clearly why the learner has obtained such mark or grade and what to do to correct the wrongs. Teachers should consider that learner errors also assist them to have a broader picture on what more…

▼ Despite an ostensibly technology-driven society, the ability to communicate orally continues to feature as an essential ability for students at school and university, as it is for graduates in the workplace. Pedagogically, one rationale is that the need to develop effective oral communication skills is tied to life-long learning which includes successful participation in future work-related tasks. One tangible way that educators have assessed proficiency in the area of communication is through prepared oral presentations. While much of the literature uses the terms 'oral communication' and 'oral presentation' interchangeably, some writers question the role more formal presentations play in the overall development of oral communication skills. However, such formal speaking tasks continue to be a recognised assessment practice in both the secondary school and academy, and, therefore, worthy of further investigation.
Adding to the discussion, this thesis explores the knowledge and skills students bring into the academy from previous educational experiences. It examines some of the teaching and assessment methods used in secondary schools to develop oral communication skills through the use of formal oral presentations. Specifically, it investigates criterion-referenced assessment sheets and how these tools are used as a form of instruction, as well as their role and effectiveness in the evaluation of student ability. The focus is on the student's perspective and includes 12 semi-structured interviews with school students. The purpose of this thesis is to explore key thematics underpinning oral communication and to identify tensions between expectations and practice. While acknowledging the breadth and depth of material available under the heading of 'communication theory', this study specifically draws on an expanded view of the rhetorical tradition to fully interrogate the assumptions supporting the practice of assessing oral presentations. Finally, this thesis recommends reconnecting with an updated understanding of rhetoric as a way of assisting in the development of expressive, articulate and discerning communicators.

▼ My aim is to find out about teachers’ perceptions of methods concerning learning and assessment of oral proficiencies. My questions are: What perceptions are there among teachers concerning assessment of oral proficiencies? How do teachers describe their ways of promoting and assessing oral proficiency? In order to answer my questions and obtain data I have accomplished two focus groups interviews with seven language teachers. The result shows that teachers are concerned with several factors regarding assessment of oral proficiency. They express that they try to include all students and that all students get the chance to express themselves, but one problem is that students often tend not to speak or practice their oral skills in the classroom. To prevent this issue teachers try to have discussions and oral tests in smaller groups, something which seems to be successful according to teachers. However, another problem with reference to promoting and assessing oral skills, is that time is not sufficient enough for the teachers to help all students to reach the oral goals. Because of that teachers tend always to have special occasions where they assess students whereas the continuous assessment takes place in the classroom at suitable opportunities.

▼ Formativ bedömning eller bedömning för lärande introducerades i en kommun i södra Sverige 2013. Målsättningen har sedan dess varit att få med alla yrkesverksamma pedagoger i kommunen till att arbeta formativt i sina klassrum. Bedömning för lärande består av sex nyckelstrategier där feedback, som för lärandet framåt, är en av dessa. Feedback kan ges på olika sätt men de mest vanliga är skriftlig feedback och muntlig feedback. Få studier har gjorts där man har varit intresserad av elevers upplevelser av det formativa arbetssättet. Syftet med denna studie har varit att komma åt elevernas upplevelser av feedback. Vilken sorts feedback föredrar eleverna? När upplever eleverna feedback som betydelsefull? Och finns det faktorer som påverkar mottagandet av feedback? För att svara på dessa frågor har sex elever i årskurs nio intervjuats. Dessa elever har alla gått i en kommunal skola och under många år fått feedback, både muntligt och i skrift. Det insamlade materialet från intervjuerna har sedan kategoriserats och analyserats med hjälp av den sociokulturella teorin och det formativa förhållningssättet. Både dessa utgår ifrån att, samarbetsinriktade aktiviteter mellan lärare och elever, är viktiga förutsättningar för elevens lärande. Resultatet visar att det, enligt eleverna, finns för- och nackdelar med både muntlig och skriftlig feedback. Det eleverna värdesätter mest är feedbackens utformning, även om relationen med läraren också kan vara av betydelse. Eleverna anser att feedback bör bekräfta prestationen för att därefter föreslå förändringar som behöver göras. Detta för att eleverna ska känna sig motiverade till att fortsätta arbeta med uppgiften och ämnet.
Formative assessment was introduced in a municipality in the south of Sweden year 2013.
Since then the aim of the initiative has been to inspire all teachers to apply a formative
assessment in the classrooms. Formative assessment includes five key strategies where
feedback is one of them. Feedback could be presented in various ways but the most
common one is written and spoken feedback received on a task. Not many studies are
made on the students’ experiences of formative assessment. Therefore, the purpose of
this study is to widen the understanding of the students’ experiences, what kind of
feedback they prefer, when they appreciate the feedback as an important scaffolding and
if there are contributing factors to their overall experience of feedback. To answer these
questions, interviews were made with six students in the Swedish secondary school.
They have all attended a public school in a municipality during many years and received
feedback both written and spoken. The information from the interviews has been
categorized and analyzed through a sociocultural theory. This theory argues that
cooperation between student and teacher is necessary for the development of the
student. According to the students, there are pros and cons to both written and spoken
feedback. Students mostly value the shape of the feedback, but the relationship between
student and…

oral-nasal balance in speech. While the research was carried out in normal speakers, the intention was to create knowledge that will ultimately improve the
assessment and behavioural treatment of speakers with
oral-nasal balance disorders due to cleft palate.
The first study (de Boer and Bressmann, 2016 a) was a retrospective analysis of normal speakers simulating different disorders of
oral-nasal balance (hypernasality, hyponasality and mixed nasality). The recordings were analyzed acoustically using Long Term Averaged Spectra. The simulations produced distinctive spectra enabling the creation of formulas that predicted the
oral-nasal balance well above chance level.
The second study (de Boer Bressmann, 2017) explored the role of auditory feedback in the regulation of
oral-nasal balance in speech. In an altered auditory feedback paradigm, speakers of Canadian English compensated more for increased nasality than decreased nasality. This suggested that the speakers were less critical of a lack of nasality (hyponasality) than excess nasality (hypernasality).
The third study (de Boer, Marino, Berti, Fabron, Bressmann, 2016) investigated how voice focus affects
oral-nasal balance in normal Brazilian speaking individuals. Participants read stimuli with their normal voice, a backward focus and a forward focus. The mean nasalance scores of the stimuli in the backward focus and normal speaking conditions were significantly lower than in the forward focus condition. The results confirmed that speaking focus influences
oral-nasal balance in normal speakers, which could be useful for the development of new approaches of behavioural therapy.
The research presented expands our understanding of
oral-nasal balance control and lays the groundwork for new ways of clinically assessing and managing
oral-nasal balance disorders.

▼ Aims: Oral behaviors, anxiety and stress are believed to be related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain. The aims of the study were to investigate the association of TMD pain intensity with oral behaviors, anxiety and stress, and the association of oral behaviors with anxiety and stress. Methods: From among the clinical and community-based participants in the multi-site Validation Project, 721 subjects were included in this study who had completed self-report questionnaires that reported pain intensity (Characteristic Pain Intensity [CPI]), oral behaviors (Oral Behavior Checklist [OBC]), anxiety (Symptom Checklist - 90 revised [SCL-ANX]) and stress (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]) experienced during the previous month; and anxiety experienced during the previous week. Participants were divided into four groups based on the CPI report: no pain, mild, moderate and severe pain, and were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistical differences between groups were evaluated using an F-test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables. Spearman correlation coefficients were computed to examine the association of (1) CPI with OBC, SCL-ANX and PSS and (2) OBC with SCL-ANX and PSS. Simple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the bivariate relationships for outcomes CPI and OBC. The multivariate regression analysis with age and sex adjustment was conducted to examine relationship between CPI and dependent variables, and OBC and dependent variables. Results: Using CPI as a categorical variable, pain intensity was associated by a dose-response curve relationship for each of the independent variables: OBC, SCL-ANX, and PSS (ANOVA; p<0.0001). Positive correlations were found between CPI versus OBC (r=0.44, n=721), SCL-ANX (r=0.30, n=720), and PSS (r=0.21, n=721) with p<0.0001 for all correlations. Positive correlations between OBC with SCL-ANX (r=0.38, n=720) and PSS (r=0.32, n=721) with p<0.0001 were found. Using simple linear regression, OBC accounted for 18% of the variance of CPI versus SCL-ANX and PSS that explained 10% and 5% of CPI, respectively. SCL-ANX and PSS accounted for 12% and 11% of the variance of OBC, respectively. The multivariate regression model estimated that with 1SD increase of OBC, CPI will increase by 9 after adjusting for SCL-ANX, PSS, age and gender. For 1 SD increase in SCL-ANX, CPI will increase by 5 after adjusting for OBC, PSS, age and gender. For 1 SD increase in SCL-ANX, OBC will increase by 2.27 and for 1 SD increase in PSS, OBC will increase by 1.63 after adjusting for age, sex and each other. These statistically significant associations are positive and range from weak-moderate with correlation coefficients of 0.21 to 0.44. Together, these variables with age and sex adjustment explain 22% of the TMD pain intensity variability. Together, anxiety and stress with age and sex adjustment explain 19% of the variability of oral behaviors. Conclusion: Participants with severe TMD pain intensity reported significantly higher frequency of oral…

▼ Relatório de estágio apresentado à Escola Superior de Educação de Lisboa para obtenção de grau de mestre em Ensino do 1º e 2º ciclo do Ensino Básico
O relatório final apresentado pretende dar uma perspetiva geral da prática pedagógica no 1º ciclo do Ensino Básico enquadrada no âmbito da Unidade Curricular Prática de Ensino Supervisionada II. Atendendo à diagnose realizada numa fase inicial, foi possível concluir que os alunos não vivenciavam situações de comunicação oral formal, estando os momentos de expressão oral restringidos a pequenas conversas informais. Por outro lado, tendo em conta que se tratava de um primeiro ano de escolaridade, impunha-se a criação de um ambiente pedagógico rico em estímulos no âmbito da leitura e no desenvolvimento de competências de escrita, da matemática e do estudo do meio. Desta forma, os objetivos gerais traçados tinham como finalidade desenvolver estas competências. No que diz respeito ao tema para a investigação, optou-se por concretizar a rotina, Ler, Mostrar e Contar, de forma a que a mesma desse um contributo eficaz para o desenvolvimento das competências de Expressão Oral e de Leitura. Assim, o tema de investigação centra-se no Contributo da rotina Ler, Contar e Mostrar para o desenvolvimento de competências da leitura e de expressão oral.
No início da intervenção fez-se uma avaliação das competências de expressão oral e leitura. E no decorrer desta prática, foram reforçadas propostas de situações formais de apresentação de textos, leituras ou acontecimentos vivenciados pelos alunos, em que estes eram estimulados a expressar as suas opiniões, ideias e leituras perante a turma, permitindo-lhes compreender a importância de pormenores como a adequação do discurso à situação, postura e a voz. No final da intervenção avaliaram-se de novo estas competências para tentar compreender o impacto que a implementação, de forma sistemática, estruturada e diversificada, da rotina Ler, Mostrar e Contar teve no desenvolvimento de competências de leitura e expressão oral.
A avaliação feita pôs em evidência uma evolução satisfatória dos alunos face aos objetivos propostos. Quanto à investigação verificou-se que os alunos apresentam maior facilidade em relatar um momento vivenciado ou mostrar algo a que atribuem valor afetivo, do que a optar por a apresentação de uma leitura.
ABSTRACT
This final report aims to give a general perspective of the pedagogical practice in the Primary Education framed within the Course Teaching Practice Supervised II. Given the diagnosis established early, it was concluded that students didn’t live situations of formal oral communication, with moments of speaking restricted to small informal conversations. On the other way, given that this was a first grade, it was necessary to create a rich educational environment with reading and development of writing skills, mathematics and environmental studies. Therefore, the general objectives outlined were aimed at developing these skills. With regard to the subject for investigation, it was decided to finish the…

▼ Research shows that oral proficiency is a big part of communicative competence, and therefore highly relevant for EFL teachers in today’s society. This study aims to investigate what types of activities four EFL teachers in secondary school in Sweden prefer to use in order to practice and assess their students’ oral proficiency. This study further seeks to give an insight in what the four teachers focus on when assessing their students’ oral proficiency. The method used for this study was qualitative, semi- structured interviews with four EFL teachers of different secondary schools in south of Sweden. Furthermore, the data was later coded and analysed with inspiration of the Grounded theory methodology. The results of this study showed that the four teachers used different oral activities very often in their teaching, especially different kinds of discussions. The oral activities were often connected to other projects and assignments that included other skills such as reading and writing. Therefore, the oral proficiency activities were only said to be clearly planned and assessed once or twice per term. Moreover, the four teachers main focus when assessing the students’ oral proficiency seemed to be phenomena like fluency, clearness, adaption to purpose and strategy- usage.

▼ As fissuras de rebordo alveolar e palato duro estão entre as malformações mais frequentes do corpo humano, podendo causar extensas deformidades ósseas faciais, com implicações biopsíquico-sociais marcantes. A avaliação da extensão desses defeitos ósseos, através de exames por imagem, tem sido feita com o objetivo de diagnosticar e planejar a terapêutica reabilitadora dos pacientes. O presente estudo tem por objetivo desenvolver uma metodologia de pós-processamento de imagens tomográficas para avaliação volumétrica de defeitos ósseos confeccionados em palato duro e rebordo alveolar de crânios macerados, mimetizando fissuras trans-forâmens unilaterais, e verificar a aplicabilidade clínica do Tomógrafo Computadorizado espiral Multislice e do tomógrafo computadorizado por feixe cônico na análise desses defeitos. Para tanto, nove crânios provenientes da Faculdade Cathedral, da cidade de Boa Vista- RR, foram escaneados em um Tomógrafo Computadorizado Multislice pertencente ao Hospital Geral de Roraima e em um tomógrafo computadorizado por feixe cônico de uma clínica privada, na cidade de Fortaleza-CE. As imagens foram, posteriormente, encaminhadas para análise ao Laboratório em Terceira Dimensão(LAB-3D) da Faculdade de Odontologia da USP, utilizando-se uma estação de trabalho independente e aplicando-se programas específicos de computação gráfica. Todas as imagens foram analisadas por dois examinadores, individualmente e em tempos distintos, por duas vezes, com o objetivo de processarmos análises intra e interexaminadores. Para a análise da metodologia de processamento de imagens, comparamos os resultados obtidos pelo Tomógrafo multislice utilizando crânios sem cera e com cera de modelagem número 07, na região do defeito ósseo, para auxiliar no seu delineamento, durante o pós-processamento das imagens tomográficas. Foram também avaliados os resultados volumétricos obtidos nos dois tipos de tomógrafos,com o objetivo de verificar a aplicabilidade dessas tecnologias na avaliação volumétrica dos defeitos ósseos fissurais e de comparar os resultados obtidos por cada uma delas. Todos os resultados foram comparados com os valores estabelecidos pelo padrão - ouro de nossa análise, que foram obtidos através do princípio de Arquimedes de deslocamento de água dos modelos de cera que foram utilizados. Os resultados estatísticos demonstraram que a metodologia de processamento das imagens tomográficas apresentou uma eficácia bastante elevada (p=0,995), sendo considerada eficiente na avaliação volumétrica de defeitos ósseos fissurais. Com relação aos tomógrafos utilizados, observamos que tanto o multislice como o por feixe cônico também apresentaram resultados satisfatórios, apresentando grande confiabilidade para o estudo do volume dos defeitos ósseos fissurais (p=0,997 e p=0,981, respectivamente), não havendo diferença nos resultados encontrados por eles. As análises intra e interobservadores nos dois tipos de tomógrafos não demonstraram diferença estatisticamente significativa. Os resultados evidenciaram que, independente do tipo de…

▼ IntroductionOral mucositis is an inflammatory and
frequently ulcerative side effect of cancertherapy, which has been
identified by patients as the most debilitating side effect oftheir
treatment. Mucositis is a dose limiting toxicity which exerts a
substantial clinicaland economic impact and negatively affects
patient quality of life. The patientexperience of mucositis is
under-reported in the literature. To date, no interventionshave
been identified that have proven successful in the prevention of
mucositis forpatients receiving all types of therapy. Vitamin E has
shown conflicting results inclinical trials. This thesis combines
appraisal of the literature and empirical research,and uses lessons
learned from previous studies together with the results of a
feasibilitystudy to identify a best practice model for future
trials.MethodsThe Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) instrument was used
to assess the ROB in the studiesincluded in the Cochrane prevention
review. A sensitivity analysis was conducted afterstudies assessed
at unclear or high risk of overall bias were excluded. A
systematicreview of
assessment instruments was conducted which
identified 50 instruments.Consideration of the appropriateness of
these instruments for the use in a clinical trialfor the prevention
of mucositis was based on the practicality, comparability,
andreproducibility, and the impact of these instruments on
patients. Three of theseinstruments were chosen for use in a
clinical trial of adults undergoing stem celltransplant. Finally, a
feasibility study was designed, developed and conducted
whichinvestigated vitamin E for the prevention of mucositis in
patients undergoingconditioning for bone marrow transplantation.
Through lessons learned from previousstudies, consultations with
medical professional, the MHRA, ethics committee andsuppliers, a
protocol was developed for a double blind RCT. The process of
gainingMHRA and ethical approval, and the repackaging of
intervention and placebo productsto meet MA-IMP requirements are
described.Results130 articles were assessed for risk of bias. Only
ten studies were assessed as being atlow overall risk of bias.
Blinding of outcome assessors and adequate allocationconcealment
were identified to be important considerations in the planning of
futurestudies. Although only nine patients were recruited into the
feasibility study, a numberof issues affecting the design and
conduct of future trials were identified. Recruitment inparticular
was identified to be problematic. Strategies for overcoming this
problem infuture trials were discussed. The methods of blinding and
allocation concealmentemployed were found to be feasible for use in
future trials. Expected adverse eventspatients undergoing stem cell
transplantation were also reported.ConclusionFurther studies are
required to investigate interventions for the prevention of
mucositis.It is of upmost importance that these trials are rigorous
in both their methodology andsubsequent reporting in order to
elicit the maximum benefit for patients taking part…

▼ A avaliação cognitiva de crianças em idade pré-escolar é importante, pois ajuda a verificar como estão se desenvolvendo habilidades relacionadas à aprendizagem e à vivência escolar, além de contribuir para a detecção precoce de possíveis dificuldades e auxiliar no planejamento de intervenções e políticas públicas. Nesse contexto, essa pesquisa abordou três habilidades diretamente relacionadas à aprendizagem escolar: funções executivas, linguagem
oral e linguagem escrita. Funções executivas relacionam-se à execução de objetivos de longo-prazo, com seleção de informações, planejamento e execução de ações. Linguagem
oral refere-se ao uso e à compreensão da fala e permite a comunicação. Leitura e escrita incluem diversas habilidades, desde conhecimento de letras e sons até a leitura e a escrita de itens complexos. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar essas três habilidades em pré-escolares para verificar se elas aumentam com a progressão escolar e se estão correlacionadas entre si. Participaram 90 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 4 e 6 anos, das séries Jardim I e Jardim II de uma escola particular de São Paulo. Os instrumentos utilizados para a avaliação das funções executivas foram Teste Stroop Computadorizado para pré-escolares, Teste de Trilhas para pré-escolares e Teste de Atenção por Cancelamento. A linguagem
oral foi avaliada por meio de Prova de Consciência Fonológica por produção
Oral (PCFO), Teste de Vocabulário por Imagem Peabody (TVIP), Teste de Nomeação de Figuras Infantil e Teste de Repetição de Palavras e Pseudopalavras. A linguagem escrita foi avaliada pelo reconhecimento das letras (vogais e consoantes) e seus respectivos sons, escrita do nome e teste de leitura e escrita. Test t de Student revelou efeito de série em pelo menos uma medida de todos os testes aplicados, revelando melhor desempenho do Jardim II. Não foram verificados efeitos de piso ou de teto, sugerindo adequação dos instrumentos para as séries avaliadas. Houve várias correlações significativas, principalmente entre testes de uma mesma habilidade, mas também entre as três habilidades. Nos testes de linguagem
oral houve correlações significativas entre todas as medidas, ocorrendo o mesmo em relação aos testes de leitura e escrita. É interessante que leitura e escrita tiveram correlações mais altas com reconhecimento de sons do que com reconhecimento de letras, reforçando a importância dessa habilidade para a alfabetização. Na relação entre funções executivas e as demais habilidades, não foram encontradas correlações altas, mas houve várias correlações significativas, o que sugere que as funções executivas estão relacionadas às linguagens
oral e escrita, ainda que de forma modesta. Nas análises de correlação entre linguagem
oral e escrita, observou-se que o escore em consciência fonológica teve correlação muito alta com o escore em escrita e alta com escores em leitura e reconhecimentos de sons, sugerindo que um bom desempenho em leitura e escrita tem forte relação a habilidade de reconhecer os sons das letras e com a…

▼ A população idosa tem crescido a um ritmo acelerado e com a expetativa de aproveitar a vida de maneira saudável e produtiva. O envelhecimento é uma etapa da vida onde se verificam numerosas transformações fisiopatológicas, tais como o aparecimento das doenças orais, as quais podem ter repercussões ao nível da mastigação, fonética, estética e do bem-estar geral. Objetivos: Avaliar, numa população de idosos institucionalizados, se uma saúde oral deficitária está associada a dificuldades mastigatórias e se pode ser considerada um fator que contribua para o desenvolvimento de desnutrição. Materiais e Métodos: Efetuou-se um estudo transversal baseado numa amostra de conveniência que incluiu indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos, institucionalizados na cidade de Viseu. Recolheram-se informações sobre as características sociodemográficas e económicas, comportamento de higiene oral, queixas da saúde oral e avaliaram-se determinados parâmetros do estado oral. A dependência do idoso foi classificada pelo Índice de Katz e o estado nutricional foi avaliado através da Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®) e pelo Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Resultados: Os idosos com saúde oral deficitária (desdentados sem próteses, desdentados com apenas uma prótese, 0 dentes naturais, ou nenhum Posterior Occluding Teeth Contacts (POTCs), apresentavam maiores dificuldades mastigatórias e resultados mais baixos da MNA®. Os resultados da MNA® foram significativamente associados a problemas de saúde oral, nomeadamente dificuldades mastigatórias, dificuldade em engolir e dores na boca. Relativamente ao IMC, apenas se verificou uma fraca correlação com o número de dentes. Conclusão: Um estado de saúde oral deficitário aumenta a dificuldade mastigatória e prejudica o estado nutricional dos idosos. Corroborando com os resultados obtidos nesta investigação, urge aumentar os cuidados de saúde oral desta população, através da implementação de medidas preventivas, expectando uma melhoria da saúde oral, capacidade mastigatória, estado nutricional e a diminuição do aparecimento de doenças sistémicas
The elderly population has grown at a fast pace and with the expectation of enjoying life in a healthy and productive way. Ageing is a stage of life where numerous pathophysiological changes take place, such as the onset of oral diseases, which can have consequences at the level of mastication, phonetics, aesthetics and overall wellbeing.
Objectives: Evaluate, in a population of institutionalized elderly, if a deficiente oral health is associated with chewing difficulties and if it can be considered as a factor that contributes to the development of malnutrition. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study based on a convenience sample that included individuals aged over 65 years, institutionalized in the city of Viseu. Data was collected on sociodemographic and economic features, oral hygiene behavior, oral health complaints and certain parameters of the oral state were evaluated. The dependence of the elderly has been classified by…

▼ Introduction: Oral mucositis is an inflammatory and frequently ulcerative side effect of cancer therapy, which has been identified by patients as the most debilitating side effect of their treatment. Mucositis is a dose limiting toxicity which exerts a substantial clinical and economic impact and negatively affects patient quality of life. The patient experience of mucositis is under-reported in the literature. To date, no interventions have been identified that have proven successful in the prevention of mucositis for patients receiving all types of therapy. Vitamin E has shown conflicting results in clinical trials. This thesis combines appraisal of the literature and empirical research,and uses lessons learned from previous studies together with the results of a feasibility study to identify a best practice model for future trials. Methods: The Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) instrument was used to assess the ROB in the studies included in the Cochrane prevention review. A sensitivity analysis was conducted after studies assessed at unclear or high risk of overall bias were excluded. A systematic review of assessment instruments was conducted which identified 50 instruments. Consideration of the appropriateness of these instruments for the use in a clinical trial for the prevention of mucositis was based on the practicality, comparability, and reproducibility, and the impact of these instruments on patients. Three of these instruments were chosen for use in a clinical trial of adults undergoing stem cell transplant. Finally, a feasibility study was designed, developed and conducted which investigated vitamin E for the prevention of mucositis in patients undergoing conditioning for bone marrow transplantation. Through lessons learned from previous studies, consultations with medical professional, the MHRA, ethics committee and suppliers, a protocol was developed for a double blind RCT. The process of gaining MHRA and ethical approval, and the repackaging of intervention and placebo products to meet MA-IMP requirements are described. Results: 130 articles were assessed for risk of bias. Only ten studies were assessed as being at low overall risk of bias. Blinding of outcome assessors and adequate allocation concealment were identified to be important considerations in the planning of future studies. Although only nine patients were recruited into the feasibility study, a number of issues affecting the design and conduct of future trials were identified. Recruitment in particular was identified to be problematic. Strategies for overcoming this problem in future trials were discussed. The methods of blinding and allocation concealment employed were found to be feasible for use in future trials. Expected adverse events patients undergoing stem cell transplantation were also reported. Conclusion: Further studies are required to investigate interventions for the prevention of mucositis. It is of upmost importance that these trials are rigorous in both their methodology and subsequent reporting in order to elicit the maximum…
