Published: February 2022

Economic growth and price stability are the main goals ofmacroeconomics, among other goals. The central bank can influencethe economy to achieve the desired condition through its monetarypolicy. This study aims to analyze the effect of monetary policy andinternational trade on economic growth and inflation in four ASEANcountries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand),using panel data analysis and vector autoregression. The impulseresponse results show that monetary policy with an interest rate policyinstrument hurts economic growth in the short run and is positive inthe long run. In the short run, an expansionary monetary policy haseffectively accelerated economic growth, vice versa. International tradepositively affects economic growth in ASEAN-4 countries in the shortrun and vice versa in the long run. Panel data analysis shows a pricepuzzle regarding the effect of interest rates on inflation. Likewise, theeffect of international trade on inflation shows a positive influence.An increase in exports encourages an increase in aggregate demandand prices. The implications of the results of this study are the needfor policy coordination monetary policy, trade policy, and policy inthe real sector so that the effectiveness of monetary policy increases.How to Cite:Astuti, R.

Association of Psychiatric Comorbidities With Treatment and Outcomes in Pediatric Migraines
Authors: Kafle Maheshwor , Mirea Lucia , Gage Sandra
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Migraine headache is a common disorder in pediatrics, sometimes leading to hospital admission. Psychiatric comorbidities are prevalent in adults with migraine headache, but there is limited evidence in the pediatric population. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in children hospitalized for migraine headache and assess the association of this comorbid state on treatment interventions and outcomes.

METHODS

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study examined data from the Pediatric Health Information System. Subjects included patients aged 6 to 18 hospitalized for migraine headache between 2010 and 2018, excluding those with complex chronic conditions. Associations of psychiatric comorbidity with treatments, length of stay (LOS), cost, and 30-day readmissions were assessed using the Fisher-exact, Wilcoxon-rank-sum test, and adjusted linear or logistic regression models.

RESULTS

The total 21 436 subjects included 6796 (32%) with psychiatric comorbidity, with prevalence highest for anxiety (2415; 11.2%), depression (1433; 6.7%), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (1411; 6.5%). Patients with psychiatric comorbidity were significantly more likely (P < .001) to receive dihydroergotamine (61% vs 54%), topiramate (23% vs 18%), and valproate (38% vs 34%), and have longer mean LOS (2.6 vs 2.0 days), higher average costs ($8749 vs $7040), and higher 30-day readmission (21% vs 17%).

CONCLUSIONS

Of children hospitalized for migraine headache, 32% have comorbid psychiatric disorders associated with increased use of medications, longer LOS, and increased cost of hospitalization and readmission. Prospective studies are recommended to identify optimal multidisciplinary care models for children with migraine headaches and psychiatric comorbidities in the inpatient setting.

CONTEXT

Racial/ethnic inequities are well documented in both maternal-infant health and substance use disorder treatment outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

To systematically review research on maternal-infant dyads affected by opioid use disorder (OUD) to evaluate for racial/ethnic disparities in health utilization or outcomes and critically assess the reporting and inclusion of race/ethnicity data.

DATA SOURCES

Peer-reviewed literature in MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science from 2000 to 2020.

STUDY SELECTION

Research reporting health utilization and outcomes data on dyads affected by OUD during pregnancy through the infant’s first birthday.

DATA EXTRACTION

We extracted data on race/ethnicity, study exposures/outcomes, how race/ethnicity data were analyzed, how authors discussed findings associated with race/ethnicity, and whether racism was mentioned as an explanation for findings.

RESULTS

Of 2023 articles reviewed, 152 quantitative and 17 qualitative studies were included. Among quantitative studies, 66% examined infant outcomes (n = 101). Three articles explicitly focused on evaluating racial/ethnic differences among dyads. Among quantitative studies, 112 mentioned race/ethnicity, 63 performed analyses assessing for differences between exposure groups, 27 identified racial/ethnic differences, 22 adjusted outcomes for race/ethnicity in multivariable analyses, and 11 presented adjusted models stratified by race/ethnicity. None of the qualitative studies addressed the role that race, ethnicity, or racism may have had on the presented themes.

CONCLUSIONS

Few studies were designed to evaluate racial/ethnic inequities among maternal-infant dyads affected by OUD. Data on race/ethnicity have been poorly reported in this literature. To achieve health equity across perinatal OUD, researchers should prioritize the inclusion of marginalized groups to better address the role that structural racism plays.
The Return of Silent Tongue: Sam Shepard’s Feminist, Gothic Western
Authors: Guha Majumdar Rupendra
Published: February 2022

In his screenplay/film Silent Tongue (1992), Sam Shepard appears to synthesize the elements of multiple genres from the modern literary repertoire of his American and European precursors (Poe, O’Neill, Williams, Beckett), including facets of expressionism, magic realism, surrealism, the gothic, science fiction, the absurd, etc. And yet, it also appears that his work does not exactly belong to “any literary or theatrical tradition at all” but emerges from the subversion of “all such traditions” in America (Gilman, Sam Shepard xiii), thus paradoxically endorsing an original form of drama that reflects the complexity of his generation in the Vietnam era and after.
DiffMap: A new free computer program to process scanned electron diffraction patterns
Authors: Lábár János L.
Published: February 2022

A free computer program, called DiffMap, is presented for off-line evaluation of both phase maps and orientation maps from a large number of diffraction patterns recorded with a nearly parallel nano-beam scanned line-by-line over a rectangular area in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The program runs in the Windows operating system on IBM PC compatible computers. The patterns, which are recorded independently from this program by a CCD or CMOS camera or by a pixelated camera are in Tif format, serve as input to DiffMap. Many STEMs can collect such a four-dimensional electron diffraction (4D-ED) data sets by proper selection of microscope parameters, even if this fact is not over-emphasized in the operating manuals. These phase and orientation maps can complement usual compositional maps collected in the same STEM with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometers (EDS) to give a complete description of the crystalline phases. Application is exemplified on the (fcc, hcp and bcc) phases in a sample with 4 major components (Co, Cr, Fe, Ni).
Ultrathin collagen type I films formed at the air-water interface
Authors: Zhang Shanshan , Liu Yue , Machatschek Rainhard , Lendlein Andreas
Published: February 2022

Collagen-based biomaterials with oriented fibrils have shown great application potential in medicine. However, it is still challenging to control the type I collagen fibrillogenesis in ultrathin films. Here, we report an approach to produce cohesive and well-organized type I collagen ultrathin films of about 10 nm thickness using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Ellipsometry, rheology, and Brewster angle microscopy are applied to investigate in situ how the molecules behave at the air-water interface, both at room temperature and 37 °C. The interfacial storage modulus observed at room temperature vanishes upon heating, indicating the existence and disappearance of the network structure in the protein nanosheet. The films were spanning over holes as large as 1 mm diameter when transferred at room temperature, proving the strong cohesive interactions. A highly aligned and fibrillar structure was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical microscopy.

Tensions, struggles and forbidden sexual relations in Noah’s Ark: The narrative of the "uncalm ark" in the Aggadic homilies
Authors: Shemesh Abraham Ofir
Published: February 2022

The biblical text does not mention any events that occurred in the ark during the flood. The impression formed by the verses is that life in the ark involved no problems and everything seems to have proceeded smoothly (7:15–8:19). The creatures in the ark, apparently, existed harmoniously side by side with no territorial boundaries, tensions, or rivalries. The current study discusses three midrashim that refute the impression formed by the text. The midrash portrays negative occurrences within the ark. One deals with forbidden sexual relations in the ark, the second relates to the rivalry and confrontation between the cat and the mouse, and the third is about the lion that injures Noah and renders him disabled. The midrashim relating that which occurred within the ark strengthen the insight whereby the evil urges of the creatures, and first and foremost of humankind, did not change, and the attempt to create a new ideal and sinless system did not meet with success.

Access to knowledge in Africa: The role of copyright
Authors:   Wits University, Armstrong Chris , de Beer Jeremy ,   University of Ottawa, Kawooya Dick ,   University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Published: February 2022

The emergence of the internet and the digital world has changed the way people access, produce and share information and knowledge. Yet people in Africa face challenges in accessing scholarly publications, journals and learning materials in general. At the heart of these challenges, and solutions to them, is copyright, the branch of intellectual property rights that covers written and related works. This book gives the reader an understanding of the legal and practical issues posed by copyright for access to learning materials in Africa., and identifies the relevant lessons, best policies and best practices that would broaden and deepen this access. This book is based on the work of the African Copyright and Access to Knowledge (ACA2K) research network, launched in late 2007 as a network of researchers committed to probing the relationship between copyright and learning materials access in eight African countries: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda.
Friend or Foe? Dominant Party Systems In Southern Africa: Insights from the developing world
Authors:   Stellenbosch University, de Jager Nicola , du Toit Pierre ,   Stellenbosch University
Published: February 2022

South Africa and Botswana share a border with Zimbabwe, and ostensibly the same political system, but are these countries, and their neighbour Namibia, on the same political trajectory? Within southern Africa, there has been an observable increase in dominant party systems, in which one political party dominates over a prolonged period, within a democratic system with regular elections. This party system has replaced the one party system that dominated Africa’s political landscape after the first wave of liberations in the 1950s and 1960s. Other countries in the developing world, such as India, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan, once had dominant party systems which have since developed into multi-party democracies. By comparing the political systems in southern Africa with these previously dominant party systems, this book seeks to understand the trend of dominant parties, and its implications. The salient question posed by this book is: Which route are Botswana, Namibia and South Africa taking? It answers by drawing conclusions to indicate whether these countries are moving towards liberal democracy, as in the four non-African comparisons; authoritarianism, as in Zimbabwe; or a road in between.
From Boys to Men: Social constructions of masculinity in contemporary society

The current emphasis in research and education on women and girls is fraught with problems. It has raised a concern that boys and men should be included in research and intervention work on gender equality and transformation. As a result, academics with a background of many years of work in women’s and gender studies undertook a research project focusing on the construction of masculinities among young men. From Boys to Men was born out of this project. This highly original work arises from the conference ‘From Boys to Men’, held in January 2005. It represents the work of some of the best-known theorists and researchers in masculinities and feminism in South Africa, on the continent and internationally. The subjects covered are based on rich ethnographic studies, mostly in South Africa, but also elsewhere in Africa. Acknowledging that there are multiple versions of masculinity and that some are more valued than others, this book is concerned with documenting both hegemonic discourses on masculinity, as well as resistances and challenges to dominant forms of being a boy or man in different contexts of space and time. From Boys to Men provides valuable material for those working with issues of gender, identity and power, and will sharpen understanding of males, inform community-based interventions and facilitate theory-building. ‘This impressive collection of research on men, boys and masculinities would have been impossible just a generation ago. It took the worldwide impact of the women’s liberation movement, and the many feminisms that have since developed, to bring gender into focus … and to bring men into focus as participants in a gender system.’ Raewyn Connell, Professor at the University of Sydney & author of Masculinities, 1995 ‘Given the extant paucity of research and literature on masculinities, this book will undoubtedly prove to be an invaluable resource for scholars in the field of gender studies. The editors of the volume should be commended for this timely, well-constructed and significant contribution to the literature on masculinities studies, both in South Africa and internationally.’ Norman Duncan, Chair of Psychology, University of the Witwatersrand ‘Setting this collection apart from existing scholarship on masculinities in South Africa is its interrogation of the gendered rhetoric of boyhood and manhood in the context of HIV/Aids. This is a multilayered and rich collection that suggests masculinities have the potential to be unmade and remade. The volume usefully opens up new avenues of analysis, telling us that masculinities are always in process, under negotiation, contradictory, for ever in crisis.’
Burdened by race: Coloured identities in southern Africa
Authors:   University of Cape Town, Adhikari Mohamed
Published: February 2022

Since its emergence in the late 19th century, coloured identity has been pivotal to racial thinking in southern African societies. The nature of colouredness has always been a highly emotive and controversial issue because it embodies many of the racial antagonisms, ambiguities, and derogations prevalent in the subcontinent. Throughout their existence coloured communities have had to contend with the predicament of being marginal minorities stigmatised as the insalubrious by-products of miscegenation. This book showcases recent innovative research and writing on coloured identity in southern Africa. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines and applying fresh theoretical insights, Burdened by Race brings new levels of understanding to processes of coloured self-identification. This collection breaks virgin ground by examining diverse manifestations of colouredness across the region using interlinking themes and case studies from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi to present analyses that both challenge and overturn much of the conventional wisdom around the identity in the current literature. Mohamed Adhikari teaches in the Historical Studies Department at the University of Cape Town and has published widely on coloured identity in South Africa. His books include ‘Let Us Live for Our Children’: The Teachers’ League of South Africa, 1913–1940 and Not White Enough, Not Black Enough: Racial Identity in South Africa’s Coloured Community.
Falls the Shadow: Between the promise and the reality of the South African Constitution
Authors:   University of Cape Town, Bentley Kristina , Nathan Laurie ,   University of Pretoria, Calland Richard ,   University of Cape Town
Published: February 2022

The gap between the promise of the Constitution and the reality of life for most South Africans is a significant problem that requires urgent attention. This book explores that gap — its causes, its meaning and its implications. On the face of it, the Constitution provides for the security of all the people in South Africa and it does this in many compelling ways. Yet the majority of the population are socially, economically, physically and psychologically insecure. This gives rise to troubling questions: What is the nature and extent of the gap between the constitutional promise of security and the reality of people’s lives? • Does the gap depend on biological and social criteria such as race, class, gender, health and nationality? • What combination of ideas, values, policies and financial and bureaucratic constraints accounts for the gap? • And most vitally, what are the implications for human suffering and the potential for conflict and violence? Falls the Shadow tackles these questions in a forthright and rigorous fashion, alerting us to the dimensions and perils of the ‘constitutional shadow’ — a realm of diminished dignity, chronic insecurity and acute political danger.
SELECTION OF MESOAMERICAN COMMON BEAN LINES FOR FAST COOKING AND MINERAL BIOFORTIFICATION
Authors: RIBEIRO NERINÉIA DALFOLLO , KLÄSENER GREICE ROSANA
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT Developing fast-cooking, mineral-biofortified common bean lines represents an important innovation for breeding programs. Thus, this study was conducted to determine whether elite Mesoamerican common bean lines differ for cooking time and mineral concentration and to select fast-cooking, mineral- biofortified lines. The experiments were carried out in two growing seasons, in which 16 common bean genotypes were evaluated. Cooking time was determined using a Mattson cooker, and the minerals were analyzed by acid digestion. The resulting data were subjected to individual analysis of variance, combined analysis of variance, clustering by the Scott-Knott test, and selection index (multiplicative). There was a significant genotype × environment interaction effect for cooking time and the concentrations of potassium, iron, zinc and copper. Only the phosphorus concentration showed no genetic variability between the common bean lines. The ranking of the best common bean lines differed for all traits examined in the different environments, according to the Scott-Knott test. The use of the multiplicative selection index allows selecting superior common bean lines for all traits, namely, DF 07-11, DF 08-21, DF 08-20 and DF 08-28. These lines exhibit a very short cooking time (up to 15 min), high potassium concentration (> 12.00 g kg-1 of dry matter) and the highest mean values of micromineral concentration, and will thus be selected by the breeding program.

ABSTRACT Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is the second most important socioeconomic species of the genus, consisting of a food alternative as green or mature beans. It is an income option for family farmers and the lack of superior varieties makes its recommendation difficult, considering the peculiar lima bean variability. Thus, aimed to select landraces of lima beans based on desirable agronomic traits, enabling their use in breeding programs and later recommendations to family farmers. Evaluation trials were carried out with 14 landraces of lima beans in the municipalities of São Domingos do Maranhão - MA, Teresina - PI, Bom Jesus - PI, and Tianguá - CE. The agronomic traits were evaluated: number of days until flowering, number of days until pod maturation, pod length, pod width, pod thickness, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, and grain yield. The data were initially subjected to univariate analysis of variance to determine the genetic variability in different environments and, subsequently, to multivariate and cluster analyses. The evaluated landraces showed genetic divergence, not being grouped according to geographic origin, demonstrating the existence of similarity between germplasms of rural communities in neighboring states. The varieties Boca de Moça, Raio de Sol, and Fava Branca CE are the earliest; Boca de Moça, Rajada, and Raio de Sol presented the longest pods and largest seeds; and Boca de Moça, Rajada, and Mulatinha are the most productive. Therefore, it qualifies them for recommendation to family farmers and/or incorporation in lima bean breeding programs.

É importante lembrar que a Capes introduziu mudanças na avaliação em 2021, buscando alinhar a avaliação com manifestos internacionais sobre o assunto e ter um foco maior em qualidade do que em quantidade de produtos. Outros critérios ligados aos objetivos e missões institucionais devem ser levados em conta nesse processo, mas é uma situação que deve ser estudada individualmente e não é possível incluí-las no presente estudo.
Method for determining the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity coefficient by temperatures of plate surface as a semi-bounded body
Authors: Sokolov A. K.
Published: February 2022

The studied numerical and analytical model of a semi-bounded body is used to simultaneously determine the thermophysical characteristics (TFC): thermal diffusivity at and thermal conductivity coefficient λt of the material which make it easy to determine the volumetric heat capacity сt . Temperature distribution over the plate cross-section at the end of the calculated time interval τ is described by a power function, its exponent n depends on the Fourier number Fo. The values of TFC were calculated from the dynamics of changes in surface temperatures T(xp = Rp , τ) and T(xp = 0, τ) of the plate with a thickness Rp heated under boundary conditions of the second kind q = const. The temperature T(xp = 0, τ) was used to determine the time moment τe , at which the temperature perturbation reached the adiabatic surface xp = 0 (T(Rp , τe ) – Tb (0, τe = 0) = 0.1 K). Calculations of TFC (at and λt ) were performed using formulas whose parameters were found by solving a nonlinear system of three algebraic equations by selecting the Fourier number corresponding to τe . The author studied the complexity and accuracy of TFC calculation using the test (initial) temperature fields of a plate made of refractory material by the finite difference method. Dependences of TFC on the temperature ai (T ), λi (T ) and ci (T ) were set by polynomials. Temperatures of the plate with a thickness of Rp = 0.04 m with initial conditions Tb = T(xp , τ = 0) = 300, 900, 1200, 1800 K (0 ≤ xp ≤ Rp ) were calculated for a specific heat flow q = 5000 W/m2. The heating time to τe was 105 – 150 s. The average mass temperature Tm, pl of the plate during the τe increased by 5 – 11 K. The TFC values were restored by solving the inverse thermal diffusivity problem for 10 time points    τi + 1 = τi + Δτ. The arithmetic mean deviations of TFC (Tm, pl ) from the initial values for calculations at Tb = 300, 900, 1200, 1800 K were less than 2.5 %. It was established that the values of at and λt obtained for the time moments ti are practically constant, therefore, a simplified calculation of at, o and λt, o is possible only from the values of temperatures T(Rp , τe ) and T(0, τe ) at the end of heating. The values of at, o and λt, o , which were calculated immediately for the entire heating time, differed from the initial values of the accepted heat exchange conditions by about 2 %. The parameters of simple algebraic formulas for calculating at, o and λt, o were found by solving a system of three nonlinear equations n = n( Fo), at, o = a(Tb , T(Rp , τe ), Rp , n, τe ), Fo = Fo(at, o , Rp , τe ) and expressions for λt, o = λ(Rp , q, n, Tb , T(Rp , τe )). The proposed method significantly simplifies the solution of the inverse problem of thermal conductivity.
THE INTIMIDATINGLY BROAD CRIME OF INTIMIDATION S v Cele 2008 JDR 0123 (N)
Authors: Shannon Hoctor
Published: February 2022

The criminalization of intimidatory conduct has been a feature of South African criminal law since the 19th century. Since the earliest forms of the offence, enacted by the pre-Union legislatures, the nature of the prohibition has gradually metamorphosised through successive legislative reformulations from being applied within a narrow labour-related context to a far wider sphere of application. The current formulation of the offence is to be found in section 1(1) of the Intimidation Act 72 of 1982 (hereinafter “the Act”).The “cosmic scope” of the offence has been the focal point of both academic and judicial criticism. The judgment in S v Cele (2008 JDR 0123 (N)) reflects noteworthy judicial reluctance to allow a conviction for intimidation, and provides an opportunity to deal (necessarily briefly) with some pertinent matters.

Authors: Donini Jordan , Loredo Julianna , Navarrete Cristal
Published: February 2022

North American Box Turtles are opportunistic generalists with omnivorous tendencies, but diets of box turtles are known to vary by population, region, and season. Relatively few studies have examined the diet of Florida Box Turtles (Terrapene bauri). By analyzing fecal samples and direct observations of feeding, we describe the diet of Florida Box Turtles in a coastal area in southern Florida. Fecal samples of turtles in this population contained four functional groups of plants and algae, 11 categories of animals, plus miscellaneous unidentifiable and mineral matter. Frequencies of occurrence differed significantly between wet and dry seasons but not between sexes. Seeds of the invasive Beach Cabbage (Scaevola taccada) were among the most frequently detected plant items, whereas Coffee Bean Snails (Melampus coffea) and ocypodid crabs were the most frequently encountered animal items.
Food as a transmitter of viruses: A review
Authors: Espinoza Tellez Teofilo , Quevedo - León Roberto , Ávila - Pizarro Yennifer
Published: February 2022

Viruses have been present throughout human history, causing diseases due to infections and food poisoning; they have caused frequent public health problems worldwide. These illnesses are usually mild, moderate, or severe in nature. The personal hygiene of food handlers and processing processes should be checked periodically. Virus detection protocols and safety measures should be continually reviewed as viruses change their mode of infection. The objective of this review was to discuss the possible routes of virus transmission to humans through food. Important topics have been reviewed such as: definition of food viruses, presence, and types of viruses in food, enteric viruses, zoonotic viruses, water as a means of transmission, risks of infection, other non-conventional foods as potential transmitters of viruses and food safety, in addition to current and future challenges, research work on viruses more resistant to heat treatments in food should be sought. Also, future work on survival time of active viruses on food surfaces. In addition, studies that determine the mechanisms of virus mutation in relation to the conditions of food handling and processing.

Quantitative analysis of skeletal muscles in cerebral palsy is an important but unsolved problem. Ultrasound elastography is a group of diagnostic methods that allow visualizing tissue stiffness, measuring and displaying biomechanical properties of tissues. The aim of our study was to conduct a systematic analysis of literature on ultrasound elastography of skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy.A literary search for keywords in the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, eLIBRARY was carried out. The inclusion criteria were nosology (cerebral palsy), age (up to 18 years) and the study design (original study in ultrasound elastography of the skeletal muscler), as well as the availability of detailed information about the technical issues, demographic and clinical data.The final analysis included 20 publications. Patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy were most often studied, with the healthy side used as a control, shear wave elastography was used more often, in which both share wave velocity and shear modulus were assessed, and linear probes were used more often. The most frequent anatomical objects were the calf muscles. Most often, elastography was used to assess the results of botulinum therapy, and demonstrated an increase in muscle elasticity after treatment.Ultrasound elastography as a method od assessment of the mechanical properties of skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy cannot be considered suitable as a routine study at the moment. But the method showed promising results for the research purposes: all the publications we analyzed demonstrated significant difference in elastography indicators both when comparing with unaffected limb or with healthy controls. Positive changes were also detected after various therapeutic interventions aimed to reducing muscle tone and retraction e. g. botulinum toxin injections.The absence of a unified approach to muscle elastography in children with cerebral palsy was demonstrated, both for data obtaining and interpretation. In general, ultrasound elastography of the skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy is a promising method for qualitative and quantitative assessment of muscle tissue that requires further development. Improvement of technology, standardization of technique and measurements will further expand the usage of this method.

A voz feminina: um badalar de sensatez n’A casa da cabeça de cavalo The Female Voice: A Chime of Wisdom in The House of the Horse’s Head Aldini

Published: February 2022

Resumo: Trata-se de uma leitura d’A casa da cabeça de cavalo (1996), de Teolinda Gersão, romance que apresenta um jogo de histórias contadas por alguns habitantes invisíveis de uma casa que tem como marca uma cabeça de cavalo. A partir destas vozes narrativas sobre os familiares de Duarte Augusto, memórias são repassadas de geração a geração. Nossa leitura destaca a voz de Maria Badala, que se distingue daquele conjunto pela forma e força de expressar suas opiniões. O objetivo do estudo é mostrar a determinação e a sensatez desta voz feminina que ecoa em meio a uma sociedade completamente patriarcal e conservadora, na qual a mulher sofre a imposição de uma condição de inferioridade pela supremacia machista. O trabalho com este romance foi desenvolvido no Grupo Interdisciplinar de Estudos Literários Lusófonos (GIELLus), em projeto de Iniciação Científica. A metodologia é embasada em estudos narratológicos, por compreender-se que Narratologia e Estudos de Gênero constituem um aparato teórico a dar mais valia à análise do texto literário. Enquanto pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizamos estudos e ensaios de Constância Lima Duarte (2019), Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (2010), Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda (1994), Lucia Osana Zolin (2009), Maria de Fátima Marinho (1999), dentre outros.Palavras-chave: romance português; Teolinda Gersão; voz feminina; questões de gênero.Abstract: We present a reading of The house of the horse’s head (1996), by Teolinda Gersão, a novel that presents a game of stories told by some invisible inhabitants of a house that has a horse’s head as its mark. Based on these narrative voices about Duarte Augusto’s family members, memories are passed on from generation to generation. Our reading highlights the voice of Maria Badala, who is distinguished from that group by the form and strength of expressing her opinions. The objective of the study is to show the determination and the wisdom of this female voice that echoes in the midst of a completely patriarchal and conservative society, in which women suffer the imposition of an inferiority condition by male supremacy. The work with this novel was developed in the Interdisciplinary Group of Lusophone Literary Studies (GIELLus), in a Scientific Initiation project. The methodology is based on narratological studies, as it is understood that Narratology and Gender Studies constitute a theoretical apparatus that gives added value to the analysis of the literary text. As a bibliographic research, we use studies and essays from Constância Lima Duarte (2019), Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (2010), Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda (1994), Lucia Osana Zolin (2009), Maria de Fátima Marinho (1999), among others.Keywords: portuguese novel; Teolinda Gersão; female voice; gender issues.
Hacia un asistente robótico quirúrgico cognitivo

Published: February 2022

Este trabajo presenta una arquitectura cognitiva para un asistente robótico camarógrafo, cuyo objetivo consiste en ofrecer el mejor punto de vista durante la intervención quirúrgica de forma autónoma. Este sistema está formado por un minirobot cámara que se encuentra en el interior de la cavidad abdominal y un brazo robótico externo que maneja dicha cámara mediante una interacción magnética. La arquitectura cognitiva dota al asistente robótico con una memoria a largo plazo, que almacena el conocimiento quirúrgico, los comportamientos de la cámara y los mecanismos de aprendizaje, y una memoria de corto plazo que reconoce el estado actual de la tarea y lanza el comportamiento correspondiente de la cámara. Para obtener el punto de vista más apropiado de la cámara, cada estado de la tarea se caracteriza por un Foco de Atención (FA), definido por un objeto, la posición de ese objeto en la imagen y un factor de zoom. La arquitectura también incluye un mecanismo de aprendizaje que tiene en cuenta las preferencias particulares de los cirujanos durante la tarea quirúrgica y se ha validado con un conjunto de experimentos in-vitro.
Improving local symmetry estimations in RGB-D images by fitting superquadrics
Authors: Fornas David , Sanz Pedro J. , Porta Josep M. , Thomas Federico
Published: February 2022

Real-time manipulation tasks rely on finding good candidates for apprehension points which, in turn, usually requires the computation of local symmetries. When RGB-D images are used as input in- formation, these local symmetries can be deduced from segmenting these images and computing geometric moments for each cluster of points. This approach gives a rough approximation because it does not take into account that the considered points lie on a surface. In this paper, to improve the quality of the symmetry estimations, we propose a simple refinement process that takes as input the estimation obtained using moments and then fits a superquadric to the considered set of points. We evaluate our approach on data collected using a Microsoft's Kinect 2 sensor. The obtained experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Published: February 2022

In this paper a pseudo-online analysis has been performed to detect the reaction of both healthy users and incomplete Spinal Cord Injury patients to obstacle appearance during walking. A new methodology to improve model gas been described. It consist of discardind trials where brain responses to the obstacles does not correspond with the expected. The results suggest that during the experiments performed with patients, distractions or delayed reactions decrease the results. By applying this methodology, results of patients increase more than 40% being similar to the obtained with healthy users.
