Cartographies of the Body in Pandemic Times

Como Fox e Alldred (2020) consideram, o dualismo Cultura / Natureza forneceu aos filósofos, cientistas e cientistas sociais pós-iluministas uma maneira elegante de estabelecer limites para as respectivas preocupações das ciências sociais e naturais (ver também Barad, 2007; Braidotti, 2013; Fullagar et al., 2019). Este dualismo tem permitido a criação de distinções entre corpos e modos de estar no mundo “modernos” (leia-se “civilizados”) e “tradicionais” (leia-se “primitivos”). No entanto, quando questões pertencentes à incorporação do social são exploradas criticamente, a influência sobre o bem-estar do entorno construído, as transições climáticas e a pandemia de Covid-19 em curso começam a problematizar tais formas, como é argumentado nas últimas três décadas por autores com perspectivas feministas, pós-humanas, novo-materialistas e político-ecológicas, entre outras. Dando continuidade a um diálogo permanente iniciado em 2018 entre acadêmicos e ativistas da América Latina e Europa, organizamos o seminário online “Re-ligando o nexo natureza-cultura-corpo: práticas e epistemologias”. O evento virtual desenvolvido em duas partes explorou como os territórios inter-relacionados de saúde, atividade física e educação podem ser repensados a partir de perspectivas que desestabilizam as fronteiras ontológicas estabelecidas entre natureza, cultura e corpo, e suas possíveis articulações. Este artigo é a transcrição da segunda sessão, denominada “Cartografias do corpo em tempos de pandemia”, e apresenta os diálogos entre Alice del Gabbo, Carla Panico, Gianluca De Fazio, Alexandre Fernandez Vaz e Eduardo Galak, pesquisadores da Itália, Portugal, Brasil e Argentina. Palavras-chave: Corpo; COVID-19; Educação; Atividade física; Cultura.

The Tangled Web of Password Reuse

Today's Internet services rely heavily on text-based passwords for user authentication. The pervasiveness of these services coupled with the difficulty of remembering large numbers of secure passwords tempts users to reuse passwords at multiple sites. In this paper, we investigate for the first time how an attacker can leverage a known password from one site to more easily guess that user's password at other sites. We study several hundred thousand leaked passwords from eleven web sites and conduct a user survey on password reuse; we estimate that 43- 51% of users reuse the same password across multiple sites. We further identify a few simple tricks users often employ to transform a basic password between sites which can be used by an attacker to make password guessing vastly easier. We develop the first cross-site password-guessing algorithm, which is able to guess 30% of transformed passwords within 100 attempts compared to just 14% for a standard password-guessing algorithm without cross-site password knowledge.
Train-Heart

TRAIN-HEART brings together leading academic teams and (biotech) companies to train the next-generation of innovation-minded researchers who can expand the scientific horizons and accelerate future development of RNA-based therapeutics
for the treatment of ischemic heart failure. Under chronic cardiac stress, non-coding RNAs, in particular microRNAs and long
non-coding RNAs, act as critical regulators of cardiac tissue remodelling. Innovative therapies targeting these RNA
molecules hold great promise in treating the underlying causes of ischemic heart failure. With the exception of heart
transplantation, there is no curative therapy available for this detrimental disease. Given the challenges related to delivery,
specificity and tolerability of RNA therapeutics, developments in chemically modified oligonucleotides and drug delivery
strategies are growing substantially. TRAIN-HEART’s proposition is to train a league of 15 promising fellows that harness
novel insights in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart failure, study the therapeutic potential of existing RNA therapeutics and improve its efficacy by the design of novel drug delivery systems.
TRAIN-HEART provides such training in a European network of top-level academic teams and (biotech) companies active
in the fields of cardiovascular biology, functional genomics and drug development. All individual research projects
demonstrate multidisciplinary content and supervision arrangements, momentous intersectoral exchanges and
international synergies. These PhD programmes are complemented with the right combination of specialised research- and transferable skills trainings to encourage excellent science, innovation and long-term employability. The TRAIN-HEART
fellows are envisioned to become entrepreneurial researchers who are keen to bring cutting-edge scientific concepts in RNA
therapeutics to the clinic.

CONFIGURED GRANT TRANSMISSION IN CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS

A device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may determine which information (e.g., among multiple transport blocks (TBs)) to be sent on resource(s) of a physical uplink channel (PUCCH) transmission occasion of a configured grant (CG). In an example, the device may receive configuration information. The configuration information may indicate a resource associated with the CG. The device may determine whether to transmit (e.g., on the resource associated with CG) first information of a first TB or second information of a second TB based on one or more of downlink feedback information (DPI) reception, a reason why information of a TB (e.g., the first TB or the second TB) has not been sent in a prior transmission, and a nature of the content (e.g., control information vs. data) in the TB. The first TB may comprise the first information and the second TB may comprise the second information.
Quantitative analyses in a multivariate study of language attrition: the impact of extralinguistic factors

Most linguistic processes — acquisition, change, deterioration — take place in and are determined by a complex and multifactorial web of language internal and language external influences. This implies that the impact of each individual factor can only be determined on the basis of a careful consideration of its interplay with all other factors. The present study investigates to what degree a number of sociolinguistic and extralinguistic factors, which have been previously demonstrated or claimed to be relevant in the context of language attrition, can account for individual differences in first language (L1) proficiency. Data were collected from attriting populations with German as their L1: one in a Dutch language context ( n = 53) and one in a Canadian English setting ( n = 53). These groups were compared to a reference group of Germans in Germany ( n = 53). Overall, the proposed outcome measures (derived from both formal tasks and a free speech task) are argued to be stable and valid indicators of attrition effects. The predictor variables under investigation are shown to fall into several reliable factor groups, for example, identification and affiliation with L1, exposure to German language and attitude towards L1. These are the factor groups that have, so far, been considered the most important for the process of L1 attrition or maintenance. However, the predictive power exercised by these factor groups in the present study is shown to be relatively weak.
Uncoordinated multiple access schemes for visible light communications and positioning

In visible light communication (VLC) systems, information are conveyed by visible light instead of radio-frequency electromagnetic waves. Based on received signal strength, accurate indoor positioning systems can also be built. Since a receiver obtains the superposition of signals from all light sources within line of sight together with ambient light, a multiple access scheme is necessary for the receiver to distinguish the received symbol and signal strength from each light source. This paper proposes two multiple access schemes for VLC. The first scheme supports information broadcast and positioning. By using 2N timeslots, N transmitters transmit 2N − 1 symbols in total. The second scheme supports positioning only but places emphasis on minimizing the required timeslots. In each 2N timeslots for an odd integer N, the channel gains of 3N − 1 over 2 transmitters can be estimated.

Approaches for solving modern power system problems — A review

Efficient computational tools, for solving modern power system problems, play a major role in almost every aspect of the operation and planning of electric power systems. Therefore, in solving most problems associated with an emerging power system, whose key characteristics are flexibility and robustness, alternative analytical tools and algorithms that are capable of providing quick solutions to power system problems are of great necessity. Conventional power-flow analysis has been the usual technique employed for solving power system problems, there are various challenges associated with it. In order to overcome the limitations identified with the traditional approach, an alternative approach of Network Structural Characteristics Theory (NSCT), based on circuit theory, has been developed. This paper attempts to review the trends and the challenges combating the usual conventional approach of power-flow analysis in solving power system problems. The recent trends in the approach of NSCT and its applications, as an alternative solution, for resolving most modern power system issues are also presented.
Effectiveness of dynamic quarantines against pathogen spread in models of the horticultural trade network

Abstract The live plant nursery trade is a potential vector for pests and pathogens, which can spread to natural and developed environments with unintended ecosystem consequences. Simulated, approximately scale-free, tiered horticultural trade networks consisting of growers, wholesalers, and retailers were used to study the efficacy of quarantine inspection and isolation procedures for reducing the spread of infected materials to consumers. The quarantine algorithm temporarily isolated infected nurseries from the rest of the trade network, rewiring the affected trade connections to unquarantined nodes, until the infection was reduced below the detection threshold, at which time the formerly infected nursery was reincorporated into the trade network. Nodes were inspected for infection at regular intervals. Increasing the inspection interval resulted in higher levels of infection with large, system-wide oscillations whose period that matched the inspection interval. The timing of quarantine inspections of the largest hub in the grower tier drove the dynamics of the entire network. Increasing the proportion of growers or wholesalers increased infection level in most networks. Increasing the connectivity within the grower and wholesaler tiers led to large increases in mean infection levels. Focusing quarantine inspection efforts on hubs in the grower and wholesaler tiers may be the most efficient method for reducing the level of infected plant material sold by retailers in real plant trade networks.
Phylogenetic niche conservatism and the evolutionary basis of ecological speciation

Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) typically refers to the tendency of closely related species to be more similar to each other in terms of niche than they are to more distant relatives. This has been implicated as a potential driving force in speciation and other species-richness patterns, such as latitudinal gradients. However, PNC has not been very well defined in most previous studies. Is it a pattern or a process? What are the underlying endogenous (e.g. genetic) and exogenous (e.g. ecological) factors that cause niches to be conserved? What degree of similarity is necessary to qualify as PNC? Is it possible for the evolutionary processes causing niches to be conserved to also result in niche divergence in different habitats? Here, we revisit these questions, codifying a theoretical and operational definition of PNC as a mechanistic evolutionary process resulting from several factors. We frame this both from a macroevolutionary and population-genetic perspective. We discuss how different axes of physical (e.g. geographic) and environmental (e.g. climatic) heterogeneity interact with the fundamental process of PNC to produce different outcomes of ecological speciation. We also review tests for PNC, and suggest ways that these could be improved or better utilized in future studies. Ultimately, PNC as a process has a well-defined mechanistic basis in organisms, and future studies investigating ecological speciation would be well served to consider this, and frame hypothesis testing in terms of the processes and expected patterns described herein. The process of PNC may lead to patterns where niches are conserved (more similar than expected), constrained (divergent within a limited subset of available niches), or divergent (less similar than expected), based on degree of phylogenetic relatedness between species.
Polymer brush sensing arrays for the identification of pathogens

Surfaces with the capacity for selective recognition of particular pathogens would offer great potential in a number of biomedical applications, including diagnostic devices. Mammalian cells are decorated with a carbohydrate-rich layer, the glycocalyx, which facilitates cellular recognition. Carbohydrate-binding proteins can interact with these sugar motifs to facilitate highly selective recognition, a strategy which is exploited by many viral and bacterial pathogens. Such species have evolved to display recognition units on their surfaces which may interact with considerable affinity with glycan structures displayed on cellular surfaces. This molecular recognition constitutes a key step in the processes of infection or toxicity, and is therefore an attractive target for the development of diagnostic devices. In this project, Dr Clare Mahon proposes to develop surface-tethered polymer brushes which will mimic the glycocalyx in terms of facilitating adhesion of pathogens. Through the incorporation of different fluorophores, the surfaces will be used to construct sensing arrays which will enable the rapid and cost-effective identification of water-borne pathogens and common respiratory pathogens.
Cross-platform validation and analysis environment for particle physics

A multi-platform validation and analysis framework for public Monte Carlo simulation for high-energy particle collisions is discussed. The front-end of this framework uses the Python programming language, while the back-end is written in Java, which provides a multi-platform environment that can be run from a web browser and can easily be deployed at the grid sites. The analysis package includes all major software tools used in high-energy physics, such as Lorentz vectors, jet algorithms, histogram packages, graphic canvases, and tools for providing data access. This multi-platform software suite, designed to minimize OS-specific maintenance and deployment time, is used for online validation of Monte Carlo event samples through a web interface.

Comic book visualities: a methodological manifesto on geography, montage and narration

This paper deals with comic books as both a textual and visual form, arguing that the present literatures on the geographies of reading and visuality neglect this kind of hybrid. Comic book producers' discursive construction of their audience is key to the way in which comic book visuality becomes a set of 'conventions' that are materialised through the printing process. These conventions are linked to cinematic visuality through their use of montage, but differ in several key ways, including the elasticity of drawn panels and the lack of an intended 'reality effect'. Drawing on the comics semiotics of Thierry Groensteen and supplementing his work with a heightened appreciation of the expected role of readers in constructing narrative, the empirical section illustrates how comics literacy is understood to work via micro-geographies of the page, highlighting aspects distinct to the form such as plurivectorial narration and simultaneity. These narrative possibilities invite readers to imagine time and space in quite unique ways that other forms of textual consumption do not. This paper concludes that comic book visuality, with inherent possibilities for plurivectorial narration and shifting temporalities, can provide geographers with the metaphoric tools to apprehend and communicate relationships of emergent causality that are central to recent political theory.
Management and information centres in the protected territory of the Eastern Alpine arc - Julian Prealps.

The project, closely connected with the similar one coded AAFVG111026, is part of a wider programme to safeguard and promote three protected areas with similar territories, in terms of orography, geology and naturalistic features: these are the Friulian Dolomites Park, Julian Prealps, and the Slovenian National Park of Triglav, which belong to the Alpine Network of Protected Areas and were included in the perimeter set up by the Convention for the Safeguard of the Alps. The project envisages the creation of the Visitors’ Centre and Guest House at Luseverna - exactly in Pian dei Ciclamini - consisting of a space for exhibitions and a multipurpose hall. The first provides information on the Parks and its activities; information panels present the area, list Partner Parks and stress the importance of cross-border cooperation with reference to the environment. The multi-purpose hall can also be used to host meetings and perform educational activities. Said structures contribute to providing more information on and better facilities in the Park, thus giving the visitor - particularly students - the possibility to get to know and appreciate the environment, by plunging into the beauty of its protected area, a few kilometres from the Slovenian border. Through cooperation with the partners, the project aims at ensuring a common approach to territorial management as well as contributing to revitalising the local tourist economy, thus pursuing the wider objective of establishing a Network of the Parks in the Eastern Alpine Arc - within the wider Alpine Network of Protected Areas, that brings together all the Parks of the Alpine Arc.
Quantitative Determination of the Crystalline Phases of the Ceramic Materials Utilizing the Rietveld Method

Ceramic materials have properties defined by their chemical and micro-structural composition. The quantification of the crystalline phases is a fundamental stage in the determination of the structure, properties and applications of a ceramic material. Within this context, this study aims is the quantitative determination of the crystalline phases of the ceramic materials developed with addition of mineral coal bottom ash, utilizing the X ray diffraction technique, through the method proposed by Rietveld. For the formulation of the ceramic mixtures a {3,3} simplex-lattice design was used, giving ten formulations of three components (two different types of clays and coal bottom ash). The crystalline phases identified in the ceramic materials after sintering at 1150oC during two hours are: quartz, tridimite, mullite and hematite. The proposed methodology utilizing the Rietveld method for the quantification relating to crystalline phases of the materials was shown to be adequate and efficient.
On the structure of the conformal higher-spin wave operators

A bstract We study conformal higher spin (CHS) fields on constant curvature backgrounds. By employing parent formulation technique in combination with tractor description of GJMS operators we find a manifestly factorized form of the CHS wave operators for symmetric fields of arbitrary integer spin s and gauge invariance of arbitrary order t ≤ s . In the case of the usual Fradkin-Tseytlin fields t = 1 this gives a systematic derivation of the factorization formulas known in the literature while for t &gt; 1 the explicit formulas were not known. We also relate the gauge invariance of the CHS fields to the partially-fixed gauge invariance of the factors and show that the factors can be identified with (partially gauge-fixed) wave operators for (partially)-massless or special massive fields. As a byproduct, we establish a detailed relationship with the tractor approach and, in particular, derive the tractor form of the CHS equations and gauge symmetries.
