Brackets are corrective appliances used in cases of dental problems such as crowding, open bites, among others. Over time, brackets have advanced in the design and materials used for their manufacture, going from conventional brackets with rubber bands and metal ligatures to self-ligating brackets, whose incorporated system allows them to be attached to the archwire. In this sense, the aim of this review is to compare the treatment time between self-ligating brackets versus conventional orthodontics. For this purpose, 41 articles were selected from various databases, considering that they were related to the time treatment. Both traditional and self-ligating brackets have their own characteristics and functions, however, so far it has not been demonstrated that one is more effective than the other in terms of treatment time. It is important to highlight time treatment depends on malocclusion type and patient cooperation.

In the teaching-learning process of mathematics, technology and various methodological strategies are currently being incorporated to achieve learning in students, so the objective of the study was to describe the perception of students regarding interactive games. in the educational field with the motivation in learning mathematics. The approach was qualitative where it is proposed to study the phenomenon in its own environment, describing the perceptions of the actors in their context, with a grounded theory design, following the inductive process and comparing with the theories of various authors. The data collection was done through an interview guide with 5 open questions to the 10 informants of the primary level, from an Educational Institution in a rural area of the province of Quispicanchi, Cusco-Peru region. The information collected was processed through open, axial, and selective coding, applying the Atlas.ti software, and it is concluded that, by using interactive games as a methodological resource in the mathematics class, students can easily motivate themselves and understand their own contents. of the subject, being presented in a playful, creative, and interactive way, turning out to be a valid didactic strategy to achieve student learning.

Usando come modello il ‘discorso sul Capo di Buona Speranza’ di John Maxwell Coetzee, con la definizione di ‘discorso napoletano’ si intendono i riferimenti dell’autore alla città di Napoli e al suo ambiente socioculturale e il richiamo a temi e autori della letteratura napoletana, nei confronti dei quali la posizione assunta è di confronto/scontro. Preliminarmente verranno affrontate la questione dell’esistenza di una letteratura napoletana e la circoscrizione di quest’ultima sulla base del criterio della napoletanità e della risposta dell’autore ad essa. In secondo luogo, verranno circoscritti i temi e gli autori affrontati in Mistero napoletano per la definizione del suo ‘discorso napoletano’. Nello specifico si discuterà dell’assenza del dialetto e dell’impasto linguistico tra italiano e napoletano e verranno individuati gli autori di riferimento del suo ‘discorso napoletano’ (Anna Maria Ortese e Raffaele La Capria). Verranno discusse sia similarità e divergenze nei confronti di questi autori, dal punto di vista dell’arte scrittoria praticata e dal punto di vista delle posizioni assunte nei rispettivi discorsi napoletani (naturalistica, umanistica, materialistica). Infine, si discuterà di come il ‘discorso napoletano’ di Mistero napoletano sia ‘munizionale’, ovvero di interesse tanto per un lettore municipale quanto per un lettore nazionale.
