Oral Breathing Effects on Malocclusions and Mandibular Posture: Complex Consequences on Dentofacial Development in Pediatric Orthodontics by Dana Feștilă, Cristina Dora Ciobotaru, Tudor Suciu, Cristian Doru Olteanu, Mircea Ghergie

“…<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Oral breathing is a common condition, particularly in children, and it is associated with significant changes in craniofacial development, dentomaxillary anomalies, and overall health. Despite extensive research, the role of oral breathing in the development of malocclusion remains controversial, with debates on whether it is a causative factor or a secondary adaptation to existing craniofacial issues. …”

Espaço vivido e espaço mental: Dalton Trevisan e a dicotomia social do urbanismo curitibano by Nelson H. Vieira

“…Besides illustrating how Trevisan’s short stories tend toward the universal, due to their highly conscious dialog with the reader and in spite of its regional focus, we underscore how the contradiction between the sardonic and the affective uncovers the sentimental yet disturbing side of this Human Comedy. With allusions to his stories and haikus as “thinking images” (coined by Walter Benjamin), this reading also emphasizes the performative aspect of his work that serves to unmask the hidden hypocrisy within the urban consciences of his protagonists and those of his readers. …”

L. Tyrrell, C. J. Wright, R. W.-Y. Wu

“…</p> <p>In the Northern Hemisphere, nearly all S2S forecast systems underestimate the strength of the observed upward coupling from the troposphere to the stratosphere, downward coupling within the stratosphere, and the persistence of lower-stratospheric temperature anomalies. While downward coupling from the lower stratosphere to the near surface is well represented in the multi-model ensemble mean, there is substantial intermodel spread likely related to how well each model represents tropospheric stationary waves.…”
