Entre a crença e o saber: cultura como falseamento da realidade em um ambulatório psiquiátrico para imigrantes e refugiadas em São Paulo, Brasil

Este artigo apresenta reflexões a partir de dados etnográficos obtidos durante pesquisa de mestrado em um serviço de saúde mental para imigrantes, refugiadas e pessoas surdas na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil.Durante a referida pesquisa, atuei enquanto antropólogo colaborador do serviço, sendo esse um processo de invenção e contrainvenção dinâmico e incessante a respeito de qual seria a atuação de um antropólogo em um serviço de saúde mental para pessoas com o que era definido como "vulnerabilidades linguísticas e culturais".A partir disso, apresento as lógicas dos maquinários de produção e assimilação (ou não) das diferenças por meio da separação do mundo entre aqueles que creem e aqueles que sabem, ou as pré--modernas e as modernas.Por fim, proponho o povoamento desses contextos e cenários por antropólogas, levando a sério as dimensões simbólicas nos contextos
Claustrum function in cortical processing and putative claustral dysfunction in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disease having an incidence of 1% worldwide. Its symptoms are numerous and range from hallucinations to altered executive functions. Although the exact causes of schizophrenia are unknown, several works suggest that impaired communication between higher cortical centers may be important for the expression of the disease. Establishing a causal link between circuit function (and/or dysfunction) and particular behavioral traits relevant to schizophrenia may shed new light on the mechanisms underlying the pathology.
Dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may contribute to cognitive deficits relevant to schizophrenia. In a search for circuits potentially regulating the PFC, we identified an enigmatic and not well-studied network, the claustrum (CLA). This subcortical structure of unknown function is supposed to be highly reciprocally interconnected with the neocortex, especially associative cortices involved in behavioral traits relevant to schizophrenia. It is thus uniquely positioned to influence cortical communication. The CLA is also peculiar because it represents the brain structure expressing the highest levels of kappa opioid receptor, the receptor of the most potent hallucinogenic drug found in nature, salvinorin A, suggesting a potential role played by the CLA in hallucinations. This link is further supported by medical reports in which patients having transient or permanent lesions in the claustrum develop hallucinations and delusions concomitantly. Finally, many risk factors genes associated to schizophrenia are strongly and often selectively expressed in the mouse claustrum.
In summary, this combination of evidences led us to hypothesize that the claustrum may represent a circuit whose malfunction is relevant to the expression of schizophrenia. Our proposal will test the role of the claustrum in the normal brain and test whether its dysfunction may contribute to schizophrenia symptoms.
Towards a new generation of plant-inspired growing artefacts

GrowBot proposes a disruptively new paradigm of movement in robotics inspired by the moving-by-growing abilities of climbing plants. 
Plants are still a quite unexplored model in robotics and ICT technologies, as their sessile nature leads to think that they do not move. Instead, they move greatly, on a different time scale, purposively, effectively and efficiently. To move from one point to another, plants must grow and continuously adapt their body to the external environmental conditions. This continuous growth is particularly evident in climbing plants. 
By imitating them, the GrowBot objective is to develop low-mass and low-volume robots capable of anchoring themselves, negotiating voids, and more generally climbing, where current climbing robots based on wheels, legs, or rails would get stuck or fall. Specifically, the ability to grow will be translated by additive manufacturing processes inside the robot, which creates its body by depositing new materials with multi-functional properties, on the basis of the perceived external stimuli (without a pre-defined design). Energy efficiency will be intrinsic to such approach, but novel bio-hybrid energy harvesting solutions will be also implemented to generate energy by interfacing soft technologies with real plants. Perception and behavior will be based on the adaptive strategies that allow climbing plants to explore the environment, described mathematically after experimental observations. 
GrowBot would contribute to consolidate this ground-breaking and pioneering research area on plant-inspired robotics that, although still in its infancy, can represent a revolutionary approach in robotics, as it has already happened with plant-inspired solutions in material science. GrowBot is based on a strongly interdisciplinary character and can open the way for a new technological paradigm around the concept of growing robots, fostering a European innovation eco-system for several high-tech sectors.
A proposal to integrate process data communication to IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

This paper investigates prospects of the emerging IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Ethernet standard in industrial automation applications. The notion of a small and predictable latency is common for both industrial and multimedia (audio, video) applications. The inbuilt characteristics of 802.1 AVB that includes synchronization, real-time traffic scheduling & shaping and resource reservation makes it a real-time capable Ethernet solution, which can be used for the process control applications as well. This paper presents a way to integrate the industrial process data communication to the lower layer services of IEEE 802.1 AVB, and describes a demonstrator implemented for a proof of concept.
FLOPPY-DISK ENTERTAINMENT AND GAMBLING SYSTEM FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS

This invention is a method of playing a gambling game-device on a personal computer (300) utilizing at least one disk drive or a smart card reader (318) for reading data from either a disk or smart card that is purchased from a licensed vendor or provider. When the disk or smart card is purchased, a predetermined, gambling credit-balance is credited to the credit balance field of the wage-related control information section of the disk or card. From that credit-balance, the purchaser may bet any desired amount, up to the maximum credited, during the playing of the gambling game. Before the start of play of the game, the player is asked the amount of his wager, whereupon that amount is deducted from the credit-balance field and debited to the debit-field (fig. 3) . After having played the gambling game, the winnings, if any, are debited to the credit-field or the losses, if any, are debited to the debit-field of the disk or card (figs. 3-9). After the player has used up all of the credit-balance has reached either a zero balance or a predetermined maximum, by means of one or more winnings, then the disk or card having the wage-related control information section is returned to the vendor or provider, for either the purchase of a new credit-balance, or for the collection of the monies won. A dedicated, portable computer unit is provided with a smart card reader incorporating the gambling game software therein (figs. 1-11).
The effect of surface residual stress on the performance of high quality x-ray mirrors

The use of high quality X-ray mirrors at synchrotron beamlines as low-energy bandpass, harmonic rejection and high
heat load optical elements has become routine. Nearly perfect optical surfaces generated on substrates and held in strain-free
fixtures are of paramount importance to their success. Production of these mirrors requires extensive care, yet the
effect of residual fabrication stress has not been closely studied. This paper examines the effect of surface and near-surface
residual stress on the performance of hard X-ray mirrors using topography and X-ray reflectivity techniques. The
present approach complements the information provided by standard optical metrology, giving a more comprehensive
understanding of polishing induced surface deformation on X-ray reflectivity. This information is invaluable for the
characterization of future, coherence preserving optics where scattering and evanescent sub-surface X-ray penetration
may impact beam quality.
PERMANENT INSULATING FORMWORK WITH JOINING FRAMES

A permanent insulating formwork is made by piling up rows of insulating panels (2a, 2b) and placing junction frames (1) in between two stacked rows. The joining frame (1) is rectangular and comprises vertical wings (16e, 16e', 16i, 16i', 17a, 17a', 17b, 17b') on the periphery thereof. The outer surfaces of the panels rest against the inner surfaces (25e, 25i) of the wings in order to keep the distance between panels constant. The invention can be used in the construction of building walls made of concrete.
Integral security  trust element for the internet of things

Intrinsic-ID is a Dutch SME, spin-off from Philips Research, and a world leader in security solutions for chips, with 25+ patents. Intrinsic-ID has created a technology to uniquely identify and authenticate chips based on the inherent characteristics of their memory component (SRAM). This technology, a digital equivalent of a fingerprint, is called Physical Unclonable Function (PUF).

Intrinsic-ID is working on INSTET – a fully-fledged security solution on top of PUF that will protect low-end chips that are omnipresent in IoT devices everywhere by making them physically and cryptographically secure and extremely resilient to advanced attacks. INSTET will work as a Root of Trust, i.e. a set of core software components that are always trusted by the chip, and provide a trust foundation for the IoT device and distributed IoT systems.

INSTET addresses the core problem of semiconductor vendors and OEMs: lack of security. INSTET can be deployed on almost any chip, including the ones that are already in the field, without costly redesigns or additional hardware, generating savings of up to 35% per chip.

In this 6-month feasibility study, Intrinsic-ID will investigate the product/market fit and business model fit in three most promising vertical segments of the semiconductor industry (wearables, medical electronics and automotive), develop a go-to-market strategy and calculate costs of scaling up.
Design of RLWE Cryptoprocessor Based on Vector-Instruction Extension with RISC-V Architecture

A ring learning with errors(RLWE) cryptoprocessor based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture is proposed in this work. The cryptoprocessor is the integration of RISC-V core and co-processor. The co-processor is designed to complete complex polynomial operation such as addition, subtraction and multiplication. And RISC-V core is responsible for sending simple signals to control the operation of co-processor. To support parallel data processing and increase the bandwidth of accessing memory, this work extends vector channels and uses vector paths in internal data bus to transfer data. Besides, Operands adopt a memory-memory approach to reduce the latency of accessing data. The polynomial multiplication chooses the algorithm based on number theoretic transform(NTT). In the cryptosystem, arithmetic operations are performed on the NTT domain, which avoids the frequent operations of conversion to the finite-loop domain. And polynomial processing unit adopts the architecture of 8-lanes commutator to improve the degree of data parallelism. Barrett algorithm is chosen as module reduction operation in finite-loop domain. Simulation results show that RLWE cryptoprocessor operates properly and requires 60.5/22.0us to complete encryption/decryption. Results depict time-taken in encryption and decryption are both reduced comparing to designs based on FPGA Virtrex.
Killing wild geese with carbon dioxide or a mixture of carbon dioxide and argon

The killing of animals is the subject of societal and political debate. Wild geese are caught and killed on a regular basis for fauna conservation and damage control. Killing geese with carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly practiced, but not listed in legislation on the protection of flora and fauna, and societal concerns have been raised against this method. In this study, an experiment was carried out killing 30 wild-caught geese using either CO2 or a mixture of CO2 and argon (Ar). Brain function (EEG) and heart function (ECG) were measured to determine loss of consciousness and onset of death. The stage of unconsciousness was reached on average within one minute in both treatments (56 s for CO2 and 50 s for CO2 and Ar). States of minimal brain activity and ineffective heart beat were reached more quickly using CO2 compared to CO2 and Ar (112 versus 178 s for minimal brain activity and 312 versus 394 s for ineffective heart beat for CO2 and the mixture of CO2 and Ar, respectively). The mixture of carbon dioxide and argon did not significantly reduce time to loss of consciousness or death. Further studies on behaviour and stress physiology are needed to determine conclusively whether CO2 alone is a satisfactory agent to kill wild-caught geese as the lower CO2 concentration in the CO2-Ar treatment may act as a sedative and reduce the aversiveness of the animals during exposure to lethal gas concentrations.
Apparatus and method for focus control

Control apparatus and method are disclosed for shifting focus on a multilayered optical medium using closed loop servo operation. The outputs of an astigmatic optical pickup are independently modified by a control signal generator according to a predetermined time varying pattern to produce a deceptive error signal that changes the apparent focal offset seen by a servo circuit. While in closed loop mode, the servo tracks the shifting apparent focal plane from a first information layer of the medium toward a second information layer. Thereafter the control signals are removed, and the servo locks focus on the second information region.
Speciation and Bioavailability Measurements of Environmental Plutonium Using Diffusion in Thin Films

The biological uptake of plutonium (Pu) in aquatic ecosystems is of particular concern since it is an alpha-particle emitter with long half-life which can potentially contribute to the exposure of biota and humans. The diffusive gradients in thin films technique is introduced here for in-situ measurements of Pu bioavailability and speciation. A diffusion cell constructed for laboratory experiments with Pu and the newly developed protocol make it possible to simulate the environmental behavior of Pu in model solutions of various chemical compositions. Adjustment of the oxidation states to Pu(IV) and Pu(V) described in this protocol is essential in order to investigate the complex redox chemistry of plutonium in the environment. The calibration of this technique and the results obtained in the laboratory experiments enable to develop a specific DGT device for in-situ Pu measurements in freshwaters. Accelerator-based mass-spectrometry measurements of Pu accumulated by DGTs in a karst spring allowed determining the bioavailability of Pu in a mineral freshwater environment. Application of this protocol for Pu measurements using DGT devices has a large potential to improve our understanding of the speciation and the biological transfer of Pu in aquatic ecosystems.

The dome and the ring: Verification of an old mathematical model for the design of a stiffened shell roof

We study an old mathematical model, developed before the computer era, for analyzing the strength of a stiffened shell roof. The specific problem considered is a textbook example presented in K. Girkmann: Flächentragwerke , 3rd edition, 1954. Here the roof consists of a spherical dome and a stiffening ring of rectangular cross section attached to the edge of the dome. The problem is to compute the resultant force and moment acting at the junction of the dome and the ring. We approach the old model for solving the problem in two different ways. First we carry out a historical study, where we look for possible improvements of the old model while limiting ourselves to manual computations only. We find a variant of the model which, despite being about as simple as the original one, is considerably more accurate in comparison with recent numerical solutions based on FEM and axisymmetric 3D elastic formulation of the problem. The second approach in our study is to carry out an a posteriori error analysis of our refined old model. The analysis is based on variational methods and on the Hypercircle theorem of the linear theory of elasticity. The error analysis confirms, and largely also explains, the observed–rather high–accuracy of the refined old mathematical model.
Glycemic load and coronary heart disease in a Mediterranean population: The EPIC Greek cohort study

High glycemic load (GL) has been associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. We evaluated whether preference of low-GL foods conveys incremental benefits with respect to CHD, especially to people adhering to the traditional Mediterranean diet (MD).We analyzed data from the Greek European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, including 20,275 participants free of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, or diabetes at baseline and without incident diabetes. Subjects completed a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire at enrollment. We calculated a 10-point MD adherence score and the dietary GL, and estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for CHD incidence and mortality through Cox proportional hazard regression. After a median follow-up of 10.4 years, 417 participants developed CHD, and 162 died from the disease. A significant positive association of GL with CHD incidence emerged (HR for the highest versus the lowest tertile = 1.41, 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.05-1.90). HRs for CHD mortality exceeded unity but were not statistically significant. The association with GL was stronger among subjects with higher body mass index. High adherence to MD with low/moderate GL was associated with lower risk of CHD incidence (HR = 0.61, CI: 0.39-0.95) and mortality (HR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.23-96).High dietary GL increases the risk of CHD. Compared to a high GL diet with suboptimal adherence to the traditional Mediterranean pattern, a low/moderate GL diet that also conforms to the traditional MD principles could lead to a 40% reduced risk for CHD, and over 50% reduced risk for death from CHD.
TRANSLATION TECHNIQUES USED BY STUDENTS IN TRANSLATING ENGLISH NEWS ITEMS

Due to the different aspects of the source language and the target language, there are some techniques involved in the translation process in order to achieve the equivalence of the translated works. This study is aimed at analyzing the translation techniques as proposed by Molina and Albir (2002) used by the sixth semester students of the English Department in translating news item texts from English into Indonesian. It also measures the translation quality related to the aspect of accuracy, clarity, and naturalness. And the last, it implies the students’ problems in translation. The findings indicate that, after analyzing and interpreting 225 sentences, literal translation is dominantly used as a technique in translating the source text with the highest used technique in which 149 of 225 sentences applied the technique. In relation to the translation quality, 155 sentences were found as accurate, 172 sentences were clear and 164 sentences were natural with the scoring rate of 2.1, 2.3, and 2.25 points in average. The questionnaire and interview result revealed that incommunicative or incorrect translation happened due to students’ unawareness about the context and the lack of the adequate knowledge about it. Some students also had less understanding about translation techniques.

Insight into the mechanism of lipids binding and uptake by CD36 receptor

The membrane protein CD36 is a member of the class B scavenger receptor family. It plays a crucial role in some cardiovascular pathologies and metabolic diseases. Studying the mechanism of action of CD36 receptor is limited due to the absence of its tridimensional crystallized structure. The molecular docking method has allowed us to perform various simulation of the CD36 receptor interaction with their ligands involved in the development of some diseases. In this work, we predicted a tridimensional structure model of CD36 extracellular domain. In addition, we have achieved several tests of rigid and flexible docking by acting on residues proposed in previous experimental researches as essential in fixing of LFCAs. Furthermore, we have acted on regions that appear a key binding site of LFCAs. The physicoc hemical evaluation indicated the reliability of the proposed CD36 structure used for different molecular docking tests. Based on the docking outcome, we were able to propose the different steps of the mechanism allowing the interaction of fatty acids on CD36 receptor and their penetration into the cell cytoplasm. The obtained results and taking in consideration CD36 receptor as a therapeutic target will help us to suggest the mechanism by which an antagonist may inhibit this receptor by acting on its extracellular domain.
