TL;DR: The conclusion is that it is advantageous to use several methods simultaneously, providing higher efficiency and producing better assessments, and it is hoped that this article launches a debate on the assigned criteria for techniques used to predict future technologies.
Abstract: Future technologies may affect a company’s business, and prediction of such technologies is an important step in the planning process, especially regarding cutting-edge technology industries. The objective of this paper is to develop a comparative theoretical study on key techniques aimed at predicting future technologies, evaluated according to six criteria: operation costs; required number of people; required time to obtain results; operation complexity, that is, ease of implementing techniques; analysis type (subjective or objective), wherein quantitative techniques are considered more objective; and reliability of results (consistency and replicability). Thus, this study provides parameters to assist companies in selecting the most suitable prospective techniques, according to their needs. The research methodology is qualitative, and the study scope is a descriptive analysis using bibliographic and documentary research as data collection methods. The conclusion is that it is advantageous to use several methods simultaneously, providing higher efficiency and producing better assessments. Finally, it is hoped that this article launches a debate on the assigned criteria for techniques used to predict future technologies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the forensic dentistry showed a potential labor market, expanding, and with good prospects for action both in academic as in judicial expertise in civil matters.
Abstract: The forensic dentistry relates to all other dental specialties, making the connection between dentistry and law. Among the various possibilities of action, are teaching, as well as skills in various forums, and in this context, existing in civil context in which the expert is appointed to conduct the forensic work demands often involving professional responsibility. This study aims to correlate available data on enrolled in dental specialties, existing specialization courses, and dental schools registered in Brazil, highlighting the expert performance perspective in Forensic Dentistry in teaching and civil forensic practice. This is a descriptive observational analysis that was prepared a coefficient of experts in specialties with more demands in legal proceedings in Brazil (orthodontics and implantology) in each Brazilian state from the data available on the website of the Federal Council of Dentistry (CFO) and collected and compiled data on experts in Forensic Dentistry, specialization courses and existing dental schools in the country. It is concluded that the forensic dentistry showed a potential labor market, expanding, and with good prospects for action both in academic as in judicial expertise in civil matters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a questionário avaliou o tempo gasto in atividades sedentárias durante uma semana and um final semana típico.
Abstract: Introdução: Existem poucos instrumentos validados para avaliar o comportamento sedentário em crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Objetivo: Avaliar a validade de um questionário de comportamento sedentário em 117 escolares, de ambos os sexos, de 9 a 15 anos de cinco escolas públicas de Curitiba/Brasil. Métodos: O questionário avaliou o tempo gasto em atividades sedentárias durante uma semana e um final de semana típico. O tempo reportado em atividades sedentárias foi validado contra estimativas de tempo sedentário avaliadas através de acelerômetros Actigraph modelo GT3X. Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman (rho) e o diagrama de dispersão de Bland Altman entre a medida do acelerômetro e a medida do questionário adotando-se um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: O coeficiente de correlação entre a medida do acelerômetro e a medida do questionário foi de 0,79 (p< 0,00). A validade foi mais elevada nos dias de semana (rho=0,66), em escolares do sexo feminino (rho=0,80) e em escolares mais velhos (rho=0,87). A diferença média entre as duas medidas foi de 148,96 minutos/semana (IC95%: -45,50-343,42) com limites de concordância variando de -1975,02 a 2272,94 minutos/semana. Conclusão: O questionário analisado neste estudo apresentou níveis satisfatórios de validade e concordância podendo ser utilizado para estimar o comportamento sedentário em escolares de 9 a 15 anos. DESCRITORES: Estudantes. Inquéritos e Questionários. Validade Dos Testes. Estilo de Vida Sedentário.
