violência sexual infanto-juvenil e o atendimento no estado do Rio Grande do Sul

O presente artigo trata da violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes e da elaboração de protocolos e fluxos de atendimento das vítimas no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Para tanto, estabeleceu-se o marco jurídico da proteção de crianças e adolescentes contra a violência sexual, constitucional e estatutária, bem como foi demonstrada a distinção entre abuso e exploração sexual. Posteriormente, desenvolveu-se estudo sobre a política de atendimento das vítimas com destaque para a importância da intersetorialidade, do atendimento sanitário e do atendimento socioassistencial. Por fim, tratou-se dos fluxos de atendimento no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul mediante o contexto das crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual, dos protocolos e fluxos adotados pelo Governo do Estado e da percepção e contribuições dos profissionais que atuam na rede de atendimento para seu aprimoramento. O método de abordagem foi dedutivo e o método de procedimento monográfico com técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Os principais resultados consistiram na constatação de que houve o aumento das notificações de violência sexual conforme informações do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação - SINAN, de tal maneira que se concluiu que o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul não promoveu, até o ano de 2019, qualquer avanço no combate à violência sexual infanto-juvenil. Além disso, concluiu-se que não existe um protocolo de atendimento unificado para o Estado, restando aos profissionais da rede agirem conforme sua tradição e cultura.
Antibacterial activities of some Indian traditional plant extracts

To evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of various solvent extracts of South Indian traditional medicinal plants Ocimum sanctum, Ocimum gratissimum, Aegle marmelos , and Adhatoda vasica leaves against clinical pathogens of human origin. The antimicrobial activity of different solvents crude extract of four medicinal plants used in traditional Indian medicine was tested by disc diffusion method against five bacterial pathogens: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi and klebsiella pneumoniae. . The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was determined for evaluating the potential plant extract. The antibacterial results showed methanol extracts (0.4 g/ml) of Ocimum gratissimum and Ocimum sanctum showed maximum zone of inhibition (30 mm and 25.5 mm, respectively) against Salmonella typhi . MIC was tested at various concentrations from 0.625 mg/ml to 0.039 mg/ml for all the plant extracts. At the lowest concentration (0.039mg/ml) tested, methanol extracts of Ocimum gratissimum showed higher MIC against Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi where as the methanolic extracts of Ocimum gratissimum showed potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus at 0.078 mg/ml. Methanol extract (0.4 g/ml) of Aegle marmelos showed significant inhibitory activity of 22.5mm and MIC value of 0.156.mg/ml against E. coli strain. The Klebsiella spp was the most resistant strain of all and various concentrations Adhatoda vasica extract showed less activity against the tested pathogens. The present screening result demonstrated that the Indian traditional medicinal plants Ocimum sanctum, Ocimum gratissimum, Aegle marmelos methanol leaf extract has potent antibacterial activity and the studied plants may be new source for novel antibacterial compound discovery for treating drugs resistant human pathogens.
Development of an efficient steganalysis framework for uncovering hidden data in digital media.

Criminals and terrorists use more and more data hiding methods (steganography) for concealing incriminating information in innocent-looking digital media files such as images, video, audio, and text files. UNCOVERs main objective is to fill existing gaps in the ability of Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) for detecting the presence of such hidden information (i.e., steganalysis). To carry out a full investigation into criminal and terrorist activities, LEAs currently use available (commercial) tools to detect hidden information in collected digital media. However, these tools detect only a limited number of hiding methods, are slow, and offer no indication of confidence. Moreover, many commercial tools lag a decade behind the scientific state-of-the-art. The members of UNCOVER are committed to bridge these gaps and thus substantially increase the technological autonomy of LEAs in the field of digital media steganalysis. With its consortium of 22 partners including LEAs, forensic institutes, leading researchers working at universities and research institutions, as well as industrial companies, UNCOVER sets out to outperform available steganalysis solutions in terms of performance (number of detectable steganographic methods, detection accuracy), usability, operational needs, privacy protection, and chain-of-custody considerations. The developed detection and investigation tools will be integrated into a flexible and user-friendly platform. End-users play a key role throughout the project cycle: from proposal writing over analysis of user requirements and tools development through the final evaluation. In particular, regular feedback cycles with LEAs, forensics institutes and external stakeholders will ensure that the developed solutions can be integrated into the daily criminal investigation pipeline of LEAs. A set of clearly defined Key Performance Indicators allows an objective evaluation of progress and end results against the defined objectives.
Considering kids : the nature of children's claims to justice

Children's rapid development and dependency distinguish them from adults and calls for significant additions to and revisions of leading liberal views. Over the course of chapters 2 to 5, I defend the following two views. First, our obligations to children consist in meeting their needs. Specifying what children's needs are is a difficult task that is best met through a two-part strategy. While a liberal state can make use of a general and abstract characterization of children's needs, it must leave the more concrete specification of those needs to carers. The nature of caring relationships is such that the carers must be given space to act on their conception of the child's good. Second, a proper understanding of the way genes and environment co-determine children's development challenges the exclusion of natural primary from the scope of distributive justice. While genes constrain developmental outcomes, the nature and extent of these constraints can only be established empirically. Consequently, it is not possible to categorically distinguish between the kinds of goods subject to distributive principles on the basis of a supposed origin in a genetic lottery. In the final two chapters, I look at policy challenges raised by children. In Chapter 6, I explore how children's development affects the value of their opportunities for choice through an analysis of a proposed tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, and argue for a refined account of Alex Voorhoeve's Potential Value of Opportunities View that can accommodate these considerations. In Chapter 7, I consider the fair distribution of risk between children in light of the Grimes v. the Kennedy Krieger Institute case. I argue that recognizing the importance of risk miligation to children's health necessitates a refined understanding of benefit tha is responsive to the endemic health risks in a child's environment.
Arrangement in connection with an oscillator cylinder

An arrangement in combination with an oscillating cylinder (1), whereby the arrangement includes a working valve (10) of cylinder (1) to transmit pressure medium into cylinder (1), impulse valves (5) by means of which, by working valve is controlled, control means (4), as discs, from movable piston rod (18) to cylinder (1) outside, which can be arranged to get in several different linear positions in contact with the control means impulse valves (5) in order to produce a stroke length set for the piston rod of the oscillation cylinder. In the arrangement the impulse valves are placed sideways outside control means (4) and the required impact to be achieved from the control means (to the impulse valves (5) is moved by means of special arms (13) moved from control means (4) as an opening/closing motion of the shut-off part of the impulse valves whereby the structural length of the oscillating cylinder can be achieved essentially shorter in the cylinder back end of control means (4), (5).
Perceptual learning as optimized decoding: from maps to mechanisms

We usually think that as we emerge from childhood, our brains become less plastic, making learning effortful and highly specific. Recent findings however challenge this view, suggesting that even adult perceptual learning (PL), often considered the most specific form of learning, has the potential to generalize across training conditions. This questions classical theories positing that PL changes encoding in early sensory areas, as the functional properties of these areas cannot account for generalization. Building on recent computational models, I propose instead that PL relates to decoding, that is, how information from sensory areas is communicated and read out by higher areas to make decisions, because readout weights can be more flexibly adjusted and accommodate generalization. Decoding accounts are theoretically attractive yet technically challenging to test, as they require a multiscale brain investigation, i.e., tracking PL across networks, areas, and single neurons. I will address these theoretical and technical challenges by capitalizing on a recent innovation combining noninvasive neuroimaging with electrophysiological recordings while monkeys learn a discrimination task. This approach will allow for the first time to create a comprehensive map of brain areas involved in PL in monkeys, determine the involvement of connectivity changes to PL, and unravel the computations that the neurons in these specific areas perform. This project, at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology and computational theory, will set forth the foundations for a mechanistic investigation of PL at an unprecedented level of detail, bridging multiple scales from whole-brain networks down to single neurons, and will therefore allow me to start a competitive scientific career as an independent researcher. Ultimately, this innovative framework will help us understand the building blocks of adult brain plasticity, and how to optimize rehabilitation and educational applications.
Análise das métricas dos sistemas lacustres não fluviais do Lavrado, região nordeste do Estado de Roraima

Este estudo descreve os aspectos morfométricos e a dinâmica sazonal dos sistemas lacustres situado no Lavrado, porção nordeste de Roraima. A metodologia para identificar os sistemas lacustres foi realizada através de classificação supervisionada com base em imagens Landsat 8 (OLI) de 2014 (período chuvoso) e 2015 (período de estiagem). A morfologia dos lagos permanentes e temporários foi caracterizada através do índice de forma, que é uma correlação entre o perímetro do lago e a geometria de um círculo de igual área. Modelos digitais de elevação da SRTM foram utilizados para caracterizar o ambiente regional. Os lagos do lavrado desenvolvem-se em cotas entre 50 a 200 metros de altitude, em regiões onde predominam feições morfológicas agradacionais. Os lagos foram classificados como de nascentes, isolados ou conectados. Em relação à morfologia, os lagos são predominantemente circulares e semicirculares nas duas estações do ano. No período das chuvas os lagos formam um sistema interconectado entre si e também aos sistemas fluviais (conectividade flúvio-lacustre), ocupando área de 832,62 km2; durante a estiagem a área deste sistema lacustre é de 129,25 km2, constituindo 17.000 lagos entre os perenes e sazonais.
Third funding line in 2015 for the establishment of a european sst service provision function

This 3SST2015 project is aimed at supporting the emergence of a European SST service built on a network of existing SST assets, notably sensors (radar, laser and telescopes) owned by SST Consortium Member States. This will require the commitment of Consortium Member States owing relevant assets to cooperate and provide an anti-collision, fragmentation and re-entry service at European level in order to increase the autonomy of Europe concerning the operational objectives derived from the SST decision, which will be partially fulfilled by the operation of the initial European SST system.
Given that this system is mainly based on national systems, at the initial stage many of the activities will be based at national level. At the same time, and in order to achieve the convergence within a joint action that will allow the minimum desirable level of performance, an appropriate degree of coordination between SST Consortium Member States is needed.
The project is following a shared working approach between the key players within the field of SST in Europe. Following the guidelines given by the implementing decision of the European Commission (C(2014)6342 final of the 12.09.2014), the backbone of the planned activity is formed by a set of SST committees forming the decision platform of the SST Consortium, composed of the five designated national entities in cooperation mechanisms with the EU SatCen.
Three Committees  are foreseen for the governing structure of the SST Consortium: the Steering Committee as the decision platform, the Technical Committee as the professional motor and to the Security Committee dealing with bi- and multilateral aspects of security constraints and issues.
The main activities are addressed in terms of: Performance assessment and architecture of SST, an SST Action Plan” and the Priority upgrading of existing sensors owned by the Member States member of the SST consortium.
Clinical and Organizational Factors Related to the Reduction of Mechanical Restraint Application in an Acute Ward: An 8-Year Retrospective Analysis

Background : The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of mechanical restraint use in an acute psychiatric ward and to analyze which variables may have significantly influenced the use of this procedure. Methods : This retrospective study was conducted in the Servizio Psichiatrico di Diagnosi e Cura (SPDC) of Modena Centro. The following variables of our sample, represented by all restrained patients admitted from 1-1-2005 to 31-12-2012, were analyzed: age, gender, nationality, psychiatric diagnoses, organic comorbidity, state and duration of admission, motivation and duration of restraints, nursing shift and hospitalization day of restraint, number of patients admitted at the time of restraint and institutional changes during the observation period. The above variables were statistically compared with those of all other non-restrained patients admitted to our ward in the same period. Results : Mechanical restraints were primarily used as a safety procedure to manage aggressive behavior of male patients, during the first days of hospitalization and night shifts. Neurocognitive disorders, organic comorbidity, compulsory state and long duration of admission were statistically significantly related to the increase of restraint use (p&lt;.001, multivariate logistic regression). Institutional changes, especially more restricted guidelines concerning restraint application, were statistically significantly related to restraint use reduction (p&lt;.001, chi2 test, multivariate logistic regression). Conclusion : The data obtained highlight that mechanical restraint use was influenced not only by clinical factors, but mainly by staff and policy factors, which have permitted a gradual but significant reduction in the use of this procedure through a multidimensional approach.
Low cost solar absorption cooling

Solar Polar is an established product development company that specialises in innovative solar heating and cooling technology. The company’s main focus to date has been the development of an innovative low cost solar cooling technology.

Our innovative technology, for which we have been awarded a US patent, features a novel application of solar absorption to generate cooled air that requires no electrical input and has no moving parts. Following successful laboratory and field trials (TRL6), we are confident that our innovative system offers cooling with no running costs, payback of less than 2 years (in Southern European dwellings), an operational life of 30+ years and zero carbon emissions.

Our system’s competitive advantages will have worldwide appeal driving our sales (and EU exports). Presently, large industrial non-EU firms dominate the air conditioning market. Solar Polar’s ambition is to become a world leader in the supply of solar cooling from within the EU. Outputs and outcomes from our overall innovation project will provide a platform for introduction of our cooling technology to European and worldwide markets. Our business case shows a turnover of over €40m per annum by 2022 with a net profit of €10m and the creation of 300+ jobs.  

The primary markets for our new system are the markets for cooling dwellings, small to medium sized offices and retail premises. The European and global market for cooling is growing strongly due to climate change, rising incomes and increasing urbanisation. Our system has the potential to help over 800 million households located in areas with sufficient levels of direct solar insolation, about 50% of the estimated number of households in the world. 

The challenge is to introduce to the market a new cooling technology. Our Phase 1 project will enable us to develop our commercialisation and demonstration strategy and our technology and manufacturing route map; it will also enable us to develop our business plan further.
Lab-On-Skin:  a wearable medical device for improved clinical trial monitoring

The high costs and long timelines associated with drug development are a major burden to society. The healthcare industry is increasingly looking for systems and processes to reduce the costs of developing and testing new drugs. Commercial wearable medical devices have recently found their ways into clinical trials, with pharma companies looking for new tools to monitor patients enrolled in clinical trials. Although such wearables can track a plethora of patient parameters and offer advantages that stand to improve the way in which clinical trials are designed and conducted, they only measure physical parameters of patients and fail to measure biochemical parameters that are directly relevant to drug development (biomarkers). 
Xsensio has leveraged the most advanced innovations from the fields of nanotechnology, biochemistry, and microfluidics to develop its proprietary Lab-on-Skin™ platform. At its core, the Lab-on-Skin™ platform contains an innovative functionalized sensor chip that is capable of measuring biomarkers in sweat. With the remote, continuous, and real-time monitoring of biomarkers, ultra-low power consumption, and optimized design for mass-production, the Lab-on-Skin™ platform is highly attractive for integration into wearable devices for 24/7 monitoring of patients. In this project, Xsensio will perform a feasibility study to (1) select a panel of biomarkers that maximize the (clinical) applications of the Lab-on-Skin™ platform, (2) obtain quantitative and qualitative market data, (3) construct roadmaps for navigating the regulatory landscape, (4) strengthen and expand its current IP position, and (5) consolidate all current and future findings into a business plan.
Être sans-papiers chez soi ? Les mésaventures de l’encartement biométrique au Cameroun

Les crises d’identification des sociétés postcoloniales ne portent pas toujours sur la définition de l’étranger, du marginal ou du passant. Elles ne renvoient pas non plus aux luttes ethniques ou aux expériences subjectives de définition de soi. En revanche, elles sont souvent le résultat de problèmes techniques et structurels, de politiques publiques étriquées et d’expérimentations technologiques hasardeuses comme l’atteste le projet d’identification biométrique au Cameroun. En effet, le lancement d’un programme de fabrication de nouvelles cartes d’identité biométriques a eu pour résultat que beaucoup de nationaux sont devenus des « sans-papiers » dans leur propre pays. La crise d’identité civile qui s’est ensuivie est due autant à l’échec du projet de modernisation de l’État qu’aux pratiques individuelles oscillant entre manipulations des identités et non-retrait des documents produits. Face au déficit de reconnaissance des individus, les dépossédés identitaires se mobilisent pour défendre leur droit à l’identité civile.
Defining and achieving rated shaft power in electric propulsion systems at sea trials for new U.S. Navy ships

New ship designs are required to validate their performance at sea trials to contractually it meets or exceeds its specified requirements. Two of the most important requirements to be contractually verified for a new ship design are its specified ship speed and rated shaft power of the propulsion system as installed in the ship. However, propulsion systems of new ship designs typically do not achieve their defined rated power at sea trials for various reasons unrelated to the propulsion system itself. The recent revival of electric propulsion systems aboard U.S. Navy ships has necessitated a refinement on how to define and achieve rated shaft power at sea trials because the established approach is based on mechanical propulsion systems rather than electric propulsion systems. This paper addresses the differences between electric and mechanical propulsion systems in defining and realistically achieving rated shaft power at sea trials for new ships. Accordingly, this paper reviews the U.S. Navy policy for establishing rated shaft power at sea trials and examines how these requirements now apply to ships with electric propulsion systems. The paper concludes with proposing an updated method to formally define and realistically achieve rated shaft power at sea trials via either DC or AC electric propulsion systems in full or partial configurations for new U.S. Navy ships.
