These findings differ from those observed in other odontogenic lesions, such as ameloblastic fibroma, odontogenic myxoma, odontogenic fibroma, and hyperplastic dental follicles. The term primordial odontogenic tumour is proposed to describe this novel lesion.

305importance of (7)-(10).All of these "residual-based" methods suffer from the drawback of requiring the computation of prediction error signals at each intermdate stage. As noted in [A, the use of "fast algorithms" can reduce this burden. However, if recursive least squares methods are used, as suggested by Morf and Vieira [16], the minimum phase property is not guaranteed.The estimation method presented here can be viewed as an efficient approximate residual-based technique. From the alternative form of the estimate given in (36) and the definitions (12)-(18), we see that instead of using N -j prediction error terms to determine the jth partial correlation estimate, N -p terms are used. By keeping the number of terms the same for each estimate, the efficiency of the Cholesky decomposition may be exploited. Indeed, for long data sequences and modest order autoregressive fits, there will be virtually no difference between the estimates obtained here and those of [A. For limited data, simulations will be required to compare the performance of the various methods.Finally, we turn to a small generalization that may be of interest in spectrum analysis applications. It is somewhat troubling that our estimation procedure is not invariant with respect to reversing the time index. This situation may be remedied by replacing the normal equations (15) with the normal equations associated with the problem of minimizing f J T + @ i d . Then Cholesky factorization may be applied just as in the previous case. This forces the estimates to be fit both forwards and backwards over the data and is invariant to time reversal of the data. This modification requires no more computation than the method based on (1 5), since the matrix "Yp 9 : is simply replaced by its persymmetrized (symmetrized about the NE-SW diagonal) version. Methods of obtaining time-reversal invariance for residual-based estimates are described in [A and [SI.One problem not yet mentioned, but discussed in some detail by Jones [SI, is the order selection problem. Determination of an appropriate value of p is somewhat more difficult in the multivariate case than in the scalar case. Further research and experience in practical applications w i l l be needed to provide good order selection techniques.

Resumo O presente artigo objetiva revelar as singularidades da recente imigração africana na região da grande Florianópolis. A investigação, realizada no período 2015-2017, utilizou-se de métodos e técnicas de pesquisa qualitativa (análise documental) e quantitativa (cadastro institucional fechado). A pesquisa centrou-se no levantamento de informações e análise do perfil de uma amostra de 74 imigrantes e refugiados atendidos pelo Projeto de Extensão Núcleo de Apoio a Imigrantes e Refugiados da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, em parceria com a Pastoral do Migrante. Este estudo pioneiro no âmbito das novas migrações de africanos na capital, revelou: a) um continuado processo de invisibilização dos povos negros; b) que a inexistência de políticas estaduais específicas acarreta o descumprimento das normativas internacionais em matéria de migrações, e incita a universidade e os setores da sociedade civil a protagonizarem o acolhimento destes coletivos. Os resultados apurados podem servir de base para a formulação de políticas públicas.
