Role of C-reactive Protein, Leucocyte and Neutrophil Count in Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis
Authors: Iqbal Mohammad Faruq , Chowdhury Arif Imtiyaz , Rushdi Aziz Sharkar
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of surgical acute abdomen and appendicectomy is the most commonly done surgery. Accurate preoperative diagnosis can reduce negative appendicectomy rate.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP), total leucocyte count (TLC) and neutrophil count in patients operated after clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 100 patients at Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka from August 2012 to January 2013. Serum CRP level was measured by latex agglutination method which is a qualitative test and level of 6 mg / L was considered positive. TLC and neutrophil count were estimated by processing blood sample through automated haematology analyzer. TLC level of 10.5 x 109/L and differential count of neutrophil more than 75% were considered elevated.
Results: Out of 100 cases the mean age of the patients was 21.7 years and 65 patients were male and 35 patients were female with male to female ratio 1.85:1. Majority cases (54%) were in the age group of 11-20 years. Clinical diagnosis was correct in 93% cases and negative appendicectomy rate was 07% (p<0.001). Appendix was found mostly inflamed (83%) and gangrenous (10%). CRP was highly sensitive (84.9%) and specific (85.7%) with diagnostic accuracy of 85%. TLC was also found equally sensitive and specific with diagnostic accuracy of 83%. Overall diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil was 76%.
Conclusion: Diagnosis of acute appendicitis is essentially clinical supported by simple laboratory investigations like TLC and neutrophill count. Elevated levels of CRP, TLC and neutrophill count are helpful in confirming a suspected diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Appendicitis is very unlikely if the CRP, TLC and neutrophill counts are normal.

COVID-19 PANDEMİSİNDE FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTENİN ÖNEMİ
Authors: GHİASEE Atikullah , ARSLAN Hümeyra
Published: February 2022

Düzenli fiziksel aktivitenin sağlığın korunmasında önemli bir rolü vardır. Fiziksel inaktivite dünyada önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak görülmektedir. Fiziksel inaktivite kronik hastalıklar, kanser türleri, ruhsal hastalıklar ile kas-iskelet sistemi hastalıkları üzerinde etkili olan bir risk faktörüdür. Düzenli fiziksel aktivitenin ise bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirdiği gösterilmiştir. Ancak fiziksel aktivitenin bağışıklık sistemi üzerindeki etkileri egzersizin özelliklerine göre değişkenlik göstermektedir. Hafif ve orta şiddette egzersiz bağışıklık sistemini olumlu yönde etkilerken uzun süreli yüksek şiddetli egzersizler ise bağışıklığın baskılanmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu nedenle vücudu hastalıklara ve salgına karşı koruyacak bağışıklık sisteminin, uygun fiziksel aktivite ile desteklenmesi önemlidir. Ülkemiz de dahil çoğu ülkede COVID-19 virüsünün yayılmasını azaltmak için bireylerin evde kalmasını gerektiren sosyal izolasyon ve karantina önlemleri alınmıştır. Çalışma ve eğitim hayatının evden devam etmek zorunda kalması, açık hava aktivitelerinin kısıtlanması, sadece düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz faaliyetlerinde değil, bireylerin rutin günlük faaliyetlerinde de değişikliklere neden olmuştur. Uzun süre evde kalmanın düzenli fiziksel aktiviteyi azalttığı görülmüştür. COVID-19 pandemisi ile sağlıklı bir şekilde başa çıkabilmek için pandemi dönemi yaşam tarzına uyum sağlamak gerekmektedir. Sosyal izolasyon döneminde evde yapılacak egzersizler bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini korumaya, bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirmeye ve bu sayede COVID-19 virüsüne yakalanma riskini azaltmaya yardımcı olacaktır.

Published: February 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver formulações de pão integral enriquecidas com farinha de maná cubiu, a fim de analisar sua ação no índice glicêmico in vitro. O desenvolvimento dos pães ocorreu com adição de diferentes concentrações de farinha do fruto (2,5% e 5%). Todos os pães foram avaliados em sua composição nutricional pelas ferramentas de tabelas de composição química de alimentos, além disso foram submetidos à digestão e hidrólise do amido para determinação de seu índice glicêmico e carga glicêmica. A coloração das formulações foi avaliada pela escala CIELab e se realizou a avaliação sensorial por escala hedônica de nove pontos com 112 provadores.  Os resultados demonstraram que os pães elaborados nas concentrações de 2,5% (PI 2,5%) e os pães adicionados de 5% de farinha do maná cubiu (PI 5%) apresentam baixo teor de gordura e alto teor de fibras (PI 2,5% 7,99 g/100g e PI 5% 7,85 g/100g). O maná cubiu e os pães adicionados de sua farinha foram classificados como alimentos de baixo índice glicêmico e carga glicêmica, mesmo com a adição da farinha em pequenas concentrações (2,5% e 5%). Considerando a análise sensorial dos pães adicionados da farinha do fruto, o PI 2,5% foi o que obteve melhor aceitação, além disso, os resultados obtidos demonstram que pães com concentrações mínimas de maná cubiu (2,5%) podem ser associados ao consumo alimentar de indivíduos diabéticos, favorecendo seu controle glicêmico.

Bioadsorventes produzidos a partir de resíduos orgânicos para remoção de corantes: uma revisão
Authors: Piquet Ana Beatriz Malheiros , Martelli Marlice Cruz
Published: February 2022

A utilização dos corantes na indústria têxtil desencadeia a contaminação dos seus efluentes e seu descarte sem tratamento prévio gera impactos ambientais. Para a imobilização e degradação das substâncias contaminantes, a técnica mais eficiente e seletiva é a adsorção, onde as moléculas do corante são removidas quando se aderem na superfície do adsorvente. A utilização de materiais de baixo custo provenientes de resíduos de materiais orgânicos, como casca de arroz, bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, sabugo de milho, caroço de açaí, casca de laranja, bagaço de frutas no geral in natura ou como carvão ativado são ótimos recursos para remoção de substâncias indesejadas. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre o estudo de adsorventes a partir de compostos orgânicos. A pesquisa foi realizada em periódicos de base nacional e internacional, dos últimos seis anos, sobre carvão ativado e biossorvente, com eficiência de, no mínimo 70% na remoção de corantes sintéticos. Nas informações disponibilizadas no levantamento apontam que a maioria dos materiais adsorventes alternativos apresenta eficiência alta quando comparada com carvão comercial ou outros, devido às boas propriedades morfológicas. Independentemente dos tratamentos físico-químicos, a viabilidade dos adsorventes é comprovada com as análises realizadas.
Desigualdades raciais no contexto educacional: um panorama sobre a permanência dos povos afro-brasileiros nas escolas
Authors: Costa Júnior Elves França da , Nogueira Eulina Maria Leite , Level Inaê Nogueira
Published: February 2022

No presente artigo, buscou-se, por meio de uma breve pesquisa bibliográfica, conhecer, primeiramente, o contexto histórico e, mediante isto, estudar e debater sobre as desigualdades sociais sofridas pelos negros no contexto educacional das escolas no Brasil. Há afirmações de que o Brasil é um país miscigenado, por se encontrar diferentes povos em seu território, havendo, assim, uma mistura de raças, e que todos possuem os mesmos direitos, porém, sabe-se que normalmente isso não acontece, pois, o preconceito racial está enraizado na sociedade e que se faz muito presente dentro da sala de aula. Nesse sentido, faz-se necessário abordar como o preconceito racial afeta a permanência dos alunos afrodescendentes nas escolas, já que dados mostram que a maioria dos alunos que desistem de frequentar as aulas são negros. A metodologia usada foi a abordagem qualitativa em conjunto com a revisão bibliográfica sistemática a partir de textos científicos já publicados, entre outros trabalhos como dissertações e teses sobre o tema proposto. Foi usado como aporte teórico autores que teorizam sobre o assunto, entre eles destacam – se:  Cavelleiro; Hasenbalg; Ferreira; Hüning; Lopes. Conclui – se que os fatores que contribuem para evasão escolar de alunos afro – brasileiros não estão ligados somente ao preconceito racial, há uma criação ideológica estabelecida na sociedade contempôranea que atenua esses resultados.

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos – EJA tem seu surgimento numa sociedade permeada pelos embates políticos no contexto de uma sociedade formada por classes sociais distintas. Nesse sentido, a educação como direito social público e subjetivo foi historicamente negada àqueles que vivem da venda como sua forma de trabalho. Dessa forma, este artigo tem como objetivo discorrer sobre a trajetória histórica da EJA no Brasil. Assim, a metodologia usada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, trata-se de estudo de abordagem qualitativa. Dito isso, buscamos suporte teórico nos estudos de Ribeiro (1993), Eugênio (2004), Gohn (1997), Costa Neto (2009) e outros. No tocante aos documentos, analisamos a Constituição de 1988, Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional de 1971 e 1996, Plano Nacional de Educação de 2001, Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e de Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação – FUNDEB. Por fim, a partir do nosso estudo percebemos que o processo de consolidação da EJA em nosso país foi marcado por lutas entre aqueles que sempre tiveram condições de ter o acesso à educação e por sujeitos de tenra idade que abandonaram a escola e assumiram a responsabilidade com a vida financeira da família.

A questão da educação inclusiva no Brasil se mostra complexa e paradoxal, posto que há a recomendação na Constituição Federal (Brasil, 1988) para o acesso à educação sem discriminação, mas as escolas brasileiras, sobretudo as de educação básica em sua maioria não estão preparadas para receber alunos especiais. O presente estudo focaliza na educação para surdos. O objetivo geral consiste em efetuar um estudo bibliométrico sobre esta temática, tendo como lapso temporal os anos entre 2017 e 2021. A base de dados escolhida foi a Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). O estudo é considerado como exploratório. Os resultados apontam que no campo das produções científicas há um vazio teórico de trabalhos originados na Região Nordeste do Brasil. Por sua vez, a temática da educação para surdos na educação básica tem sido bem explorada na Região Sudeste. Dentre os trabalhos selecionados, quatro dissertações já foram citadas noutras produções acadêmicas. Dentre as temáticas mais trabalhadas nas obras escolhidas, destacam-se a potencialização da linguagem científica para surdos, bem como os desafios no ensino entre Libras/Português na educação bilíngue. O estudo conclui que ainda há muito o que se pesquisar e produzir sobre a educação para surdos no contexto da educação básica. As lacunas de produção de saberes aqui detectadas podem encorajar a realização de novos estudos com vistas a fortalecer o estado da arte concernente a esta temática.
Analysing ecological carrying capacity of bivalve aquaculture within the Yellow River Estuary ecoregion through mass-balance modelling
Authors: Zhao Q , Huang H , Zhu Y , Cao M , Zhao L , Hong X , Chu J
Published: February 2022

As the largest aquaculture producer in the world, China is facing the challenge of maintaining sustainability while continuing to develop the aquaculture industry to meet socio-economic needs. Models of trophic structure and energy flow can be used to analyse ecological carrying capacity in order to determine whether a large and rapidly increasing aquaculture industry potentially puts sustainable development at risk. The Yellow River Estuary ecoregion in Shandong Province, China, is an ecologically important region, with extensive bivalve aquaculture that is increasing rapidly at an overall growth rate of 4% annually during recent decades. A trophic mass-balance model was used to analyse the ecological carrying capacity of bivalve aquaculture in this ecoregion. The biomass of cultured bivalves is currently 13.3 t km-2 and could be increased to 62.0 t km-2 without exceeding the ecological carrying capacity. Zooplankton are a key factor limiting the ecological carrying capacity and represent a sensitive functional group within the food web system in this ecoregion. At the ecological carrying capacity of cultured bivalves in the Yellow River Estuary ecoregion, harvests would amount to 353.2 t km-2 yr-1 or a total of 4.2 million t yr-1 in this region. If the current average rate of growth in aquaculture in China is maintained, under cautious development, the biomass of cultured bivalves would reach half of the estimated ecological carrying capacity (31.0 t km-2) after 20 yr. This implies that there is capacity for sustainable development of bivalve aquaculture under current environmental conditions.

THE IMPREGNATED FIBROUS CHEMISORBENTS FOR COLORIMETRIC DETECTION OF THE SULFUR DIOXIDE
Authors: Khoma Ruslan , Ennan Alim , Bienkovska Tetyana , Dlubovskii Ruslan , Vodzinskii Sergey , Mykhailova Tetiana
Published: February 2022

The paper presents the research results on the colorimetric behavior of impregnated fibrous chemisorbents (IFCS-I) of acid gases with visual identification of the dynamic absorption capacity “response” moment during the absorption of sulfur dioxide. Chemisorbents were obtained by impregnation of fibrous carriers by N-containing organic bases aqueous solutions with adding acid-base indicators (Ind). IFCS-I based on hexamethylenetetramine (IFCS-HMTA-I) and polyethylenepolyamine (IFCS-PEPA-I), as well as IFCS-MEA-EDTA-I based on monoethanolamine (MEA) and the disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were used. The change specificity of colorimetric functions of indicator impregnated fibrous chemisorbents during their absorption of SO2 is revealed. IFCS-I original samples color significantly depends not only on the structure of Ind, but also the nature of amines (MEA, HMTA and PEPA), which are part of them. The color of the “response” samples of IFCS-MEA-EDTA-I, IFCS-PEPA-I and IFCS-HMTA-I, differ from the same properties of Bronsted acids aqueous solutions. The color change of azo-indicators occurs due to redox reactions with sulfite compounds. PEPA molecules and their ammonium cations in the composition of IFCS-I stabilize azo-indicators to these redox transformations.
Waterway to Go! Excavations at Lochrin Basin, Edinburgh
Authors: Paton Kevin
Published: February 2022

Regeneration of the former industrial areas surrounding Tollcross, Edinburgh, has provided opportunities to rediscover some of the important elements of the area's industrial past. Constructed as a private enterprise that linked into the newly constructed canal network, Lochrin Basin was a significant example of an ambitious family enterprise of the 19th century. Due to its private status and abandonment in the late 19th century, it was infilled and was unfortunately not given the same protected status as the rest of the canal network. However, excavations at the site of the former canal basin revealed that it survived mainly intact, with some surprising elements encountered. As part of the post-excavation process, a programme of documentary research was undertaken to provide a more comprehensive history of Lochrin Basin's inception, construction, and use.
MENINAMÁ.COM: UM FILME SOBRE O CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors:   UEMG - Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais - Unidade Frutal, Pessoa Marcelo
Published: February 2022

Our study aims to analyze the movie "Hard Candy” (2005), which presents the audience with an interesting discussion about the sexual and emotional behavior of human beings, having, as a background, a problematic intergenerational relationship and all the conflicts that this context can evoke. As a research methodology, we searched for publications on the subject, in physical and digital collections. The objective of our work is to develop, in the classroom, an investigation routine, which can clarify to the student audience, what intentions could support the director of the film to shed light on a topic as controversial as it is contemporary. . Justifies the accomplishment of this work, the fact that our society has, at the mercy of new communication technologies, experienced biases and behavioral setbacks mediated through the so-called ICTs. The main work that supports our research is the book Somos Todos Canalhas, by Clóvis de Barros Filho (2015). As partial results of this study, we can say that the behavior seen in the film has been much more recurrent than apparently could be noticed due to the opacity that communication networks lend to their users.

Nanomaterials have been widely studied for their potential to become the new generation of nanocarriers in gene transfection, yet it remains still difficult to apply them efficiently and succinctly to plant cells. Poly (2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA), which possesses temperature and pH dual-sensitivity, has largely been applied in animal cells, but it is rarely involved in plant cells. As a proof of concept, PDMAEMA as a gene carrier is incubated with plasmid GFP (pGFP) to explore its transfection ability in plants, and cationic polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) is used as a control. pGFP was efficiently condensed into the nanostructure by electrostatic interactions at an N/P (amino group from cationic polymers/phosphate group from plasmid DNA (pDNA)) ratio of 15; after complexation into nanocarriers, pGFP was protected from endonuclease degradation according to the DNase I digestion assay. After incubation with protoplasts and leaves, GFP was observed with confocal microscopy in plant cells. Western blot experiments confirmed GFP expression at the protein level. Toxicity assay showed PDMAEMA had a lower toxicity than PEI. These results showed that transient expression of pGFP was readily achieved in Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana. Notably, PDMAEMA showed lower cytotoxicity than PEI upon incubation with Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. PDMAEMA exhibited great potency for DNA delivery in plant cells. This work provides us with new ideas of more concise and more effective methods for plant transformation.

In conservation translocation, released animals should have comparable fitness to their wild counterparts to effectively contribute to the species demography. Captive-bred animals frequently exhibit lower fitness performances, which can often be attributed to an inadequate release strategy. Untimely release of migrant animals may interfere with key events such as their migration and breeding. In Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, declining wild populations of Asian houbara (Chlamydotis macqueenii) are reinforced in their breeding grounds with captive-bred individuals. Using data from 6 years of monitoring, we compare eight breeding traits and the productivity of wild and captive-bred females released in two distinct seasons (autumn vs. spring) considering the effects of age and time in the season. Females released in the spring nest prior to their first migration, and females released in the autumn nest following their first migration. Our results highlight that captive-bred and wild females have similar breeding traits and productivity. Breeding probability, laying date, and egg volume varied, depending on the release season and female age. One-year-olds released in autumn have a significantly lower breeding probability compared to wild and spring-released females. However, 1-year-old females released in the spring nest later and lay smaller eggs than wild and autumn-released birds; effects which appear to be carried over with age. Age has a positive effect on breeding probability, egg volume, re-clutching probability and advancement of nesting date. These findings suggest a complex interplay of release timing with migration and breeding, resulting in short- and long-term effects on population demography, emphasizing its importance in conservation translocation.
The Role of NPY in the Regulation of Bone Metabolism
Authors: Chen Qing-Chang , Zhang Yan
Published: February 2022

Bone diseases are the leading causes of disability and severely compromised quality of life. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a multifunctional neuropeptide that participates in various physiological and pathological processes and exists in both the nerve system and bone tissue. In bone tissue, it actively participates in bone metabolism and disease progression through its receptors. Previous studies have focused on the opposite effects of NPY on bone formation and resorption through paracrine modes. In this review, we present a brief overview of the progress made in this research field in recent times in order to provide reference for further understanding the regulatory mechanism of bone physiology and pathological metabolism.

Recent phylogenetic and molecular data are changing our knowledge about the relations between species and evolutionary processes resulting in the chromosome variation observed in ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Ants exhibit remarkable variations in morphology, behavior, karyotypes, and chromosome structure. By assembling genetic and chromosome information about the trap-jaw ants from the subfamily Ponerinae, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships that inferred the monophyletic condition between the Anochetus and Odontomachus genera and estimated their ancestral haploid chromosome number. According to our inferences, these clades have an ancestral haploid chromosome number n = 15. The most recent common ancestor of Anochetus and Odontomachus has arisen between the Early Paleocene and the Early Eocene periods (time of the most recent common ancestor). In the Anochetus genus, we observed maintenance of the ancestral chromosome number estimated here in most species. This also suggests that pericentric inversions were the primary chromosomal rearrangement modulating the karyotype evolution of this genus. However, a reduction from n = 15–14 is observed in Anochetus emarginatus and Anochetus cf. madaraszi, which likely occurred by centromeric fusion. In contrast, the increase from the ancestral karyotype number in Anochetus horridus suggested centromeric fissions. Odontomachus showed maintenance of the ancestral chromosome number in the “rixosus group” and several gains in all species from the “haematodus group.” Our findings suggest that centromeric fissions and pericentric rearrangements lead to chromosomal changes in trap-jaw ants. Considering the ancestral state estimated here, changes in chromosome morphology are likely due to pericentric inversions, and chromosome number increases are likely due to centric fissions. The higher number of acrocentric or telocentric chromosomes in the karyotypes with n < 15 haploid chromosomes supports such an idea.
Capacity Needs Assessment in Transport Innovation Living Labs: The Case of an Innovative E-Mobility Project
Authors: Teko Edmund , Lah Oliver
Published: February 2022

Cities around the globe are implementing innovative transport solutions as part of measures to address pertinent socio-economic and environmental challenges in urban areas and help drive the transition to low carbon development. Planning and implementing such solutions require an effective and collective approach that includes the needs and aspirations of all relevant stakeholders. In the planning and implementation of urban transport projects, capacity building components have assumed great significance but seem to be the most eluded activity for project implementers. The Living Lab concept, which allows for co-creation in innovation development, presents the opportunity to adopt innovative participatory approach in capacity building activities in transport projects; and is largely seen as a potential catalyst for rapid transformation to low carbon and sustainability transitions in cities. To this end, this paper highlights the usefulness of the Living Lab approach and provides some perspectives on how key elements of the approach are adapted in the process of assessing the capacity needs of nine (9) cities in planning and implementing e-mobility innovations. The cities are participating in an innovation research project. In the case studied, the project’s capacity needs assessment process was analyzed using an assessment framework built on four (4) key elements of the Living Lab approach, namely: extent of real-life contextualization, level of participation, diversity of stakeholders, and the time span of engagement. Insights from the assessment suggest that relevant project partners and city representatives with diverse expertise were actively involved from the onset and throughout the first 5 months of the project in defining and refining the capacity needs of partner cities based on local e-mobility conditions. This co-creative process helped determine priority areas where the need for capacity building mostly lied. Designing and operationalizing capacity building interventions tailored to the identified needs, as realized in the project, could therefore help build the necessary capacity and complement other measures aimed at developing e-mobility in the project’s partner cities.

Brassinosteroid (BR), a kind of polyhydroxylated steroid hormone, plays an important role in physiological and biochemical processes in plants. Studies were mainly focused on BR signaling and its exogenous spraying to help enhance crop yields. Few research studies are centered on the accumulation pattern of BR and its mechanism. Yet, it is crucial to unlock the mystery of the function of BR and its cross action with other hormones. Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is one of the important economic crops in some countries, and new shoots are the raw materials for the preparation of various tea products. Different concentrations of exogenous BR were reported to have different effects on growth and development. New shoots of tea plants can thus be considered a valuable research object to study the accumulation pattern of BR. In this study, the quantity of five BR components (brassinolide, 28-norbrassinolide, 28-homobrassinolide, castasterone, and 28-norcastasterone) in different tissues of tea plants, including buds (Bud), different maturity of leaves (L1, L2), and stems (S1, S2) were determined by UPLC-MS/MS. A total of 15 cDNA libraries of the same tissue with three repetitions for each were constructed and sequenced. The BR-accumulation pattern and gene expression pattern were combined together for weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). BR-accumulation-relative genes were then screened using two methods, based on the K.in value and BR biosynthetic pathway (ko00905), respectively. The result showed that photosynthesis-related genes and CYP450 family genes were actively involved and might play important roles in BR accumulation and/or its accumulation pattern. First and foremost, feedback inhibition was more likely to dominate the accumulation pattern of BR in the new shoots of tea plants. Moreover, three conserved miRNAs with their target transcriptional factors and target mRNAs had been figured out from negative correlation modules that might be strongly linked to the BR-accumulation pattern. Our study provided an experimental basis for the role of BR in tea plants. The excavation of genes related to the accumulation pattern of BR provided the possibility of cross-action studies on the regulation of BR biosynthesis and the study between BR and other hormones.
Almost Alive: Robots and Androids

Published: February 2022

Life-likeness is a property that can be used both to deceive people that a robot is more intelligent than it is or to facilitate the natural communication with humans. Over the years, different criteria have guided the design of intelligent systems, ranging from attempts to produce human-like language to trying to make a robot look like an actual human. We outline some relevant historical developments that all rely on different forms of mimicry of human life or intelligence. Many such approaches have been to some extent successful. However, we want to argue that there are ways to exploit aspects of life-likeness without deception. A life-like robot has advantages in communicating with humans, not because we believe it to be alive, but rather because we react instinctively to certain aspects of life-like behavior as this can make a robot easier to understand and allows us to better predict its actions. Although there may be reasons for trying to design robots that look exactly like humans for specific research purposes, we argue that it is subtle behavioral cues that are important for understandable robots rather than life-likeness in itself. To this end, we are developing a humanoid robot that will be able to show human-like movements while still looking decidedly robotic, thus exploiting the our ability to understand the behaviors of other people based on their movements.
