Modern generative and procedural digital tools are beginning to provide a new and previously impossible method of engaging with indigenous design from all parts of the globe. Diverse geometric patterns form the basis of many indigenous art forms, and complex digital design workflows can recreate and extend upon these.

This thesis is centred around traditional Māori arts and, in particular, fabric arts as there is an opportunity for a digital tool to be established that can interact with Māori design in a far more engaging way than previous, default Western architectural design methods. This research forms an argument that modern computation tools and complex digital workflows allow for much-needed engagement, as Māori culture is often misused throughout New Zealand and the wider world.

This thesis seeks to establish an innovative digital tool that can engage with Māori concepts of time and space. From researching Māori culture, it is apparent that Māori architecture is understood in a diametrically opposed way to Western architecture. By exploiting digital tools and modern fabrication methods, Māori understanding of time and space can become the design driver to form a new architectural linguistics that engages, instead of supplants, Māori culture.

Traditional Māori fabric construction techniques were selected for exploration, due to the complex relationship between their structural integrity and intricate decorative beauty. Many fabric techniques have been tested and implemented into the final architectural form that has derived a new ornamental, speculative, architectural language.

The architectural proposals are focused on ephemeral architectural structures based upon two typologies. The first is the traditional Māori hākari stage, a temporary structure erected for major multi-tribe feasts and celebrations throughout pre- and post-contact eras. The research into the hākari stage informs an outcome that analyses the modern fashion show typology. While seemingly opposites, the two typologies have fascinating similarities through their notions of time and space, which creates an exciting framework for new architectural outcomes.

Authors: Hafeez Assad , Kumar Ramesh , Ahmed Ikhlaq , ul Haq Zaeem
Published: September 2021

Background: Pakistan’s Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination, with support from the World Health Organization, developed and implemented the “We Care” programme to protect frontline health care workers engaged in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response. Aims: This paper reports on the training part of the programme, which aimed to train 100 000 frontline health care workers on the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and on the lessons learnt from implementation of the training. Methods: A team of experts developed the curriculum and its accompanying material. Initial training was given to deans of all participating institutions and to master trainers from each university. Staff of all public and private hospitals enrolled in the training and other frontline health care workers were invited to register individually. Four types of educational material were produced and used a guidance booklet, a training video, a set of PowerPoint presentations to explain the PPE and their use, and a poster. Results: A total of 2000 training sessions were conducted across the country from May to December 2020 and 100 000 frontline health care workers were trained on the use of PPE. Of those trained, 25% were doctors, 35% were nurses and paramedics, and 40% were allied health staff, with an almost equal gender distribution. Conclusions: With limited resources and over a short period, the We Care programme trained a large number of frontline health care workers, which enhanced their safety and reduced the irrational use of PPE.

The first chapter is devoted to the concept and definition of dualism and the philosophical concept of dualism in a theoretical method.
In terms of their presence in Lattif Halmat’s poetic texts, the second chapter deals with the dualism of place within the frame of poetic texts in a critically analytical way. And finally, the research ends with the conclusions and bibliography.
Complexity of Mental Representation: A Cognitive Pragmatics Perspective
Authors: Mohammad Othman Saman , Mohammed Salih Salah
Published: September 2021

This article attempts to elucidate the meaning construction process, mental states and mental relations, communicative intentions, and action plans and thereby to explore the complexity of mental representations from a purely cognitive pragmatics perspective. It also attempts to reevaluate the violations of cooperative principle and maxims.

Cooperation, mental states and intentionality are the three basic tools for any communication process. Mental states are either conscious or unconscious. They are emotional and cognitive which include common attention, shared belief, and consciousness. Three different types of beliefs are differentiated: individual, common and shared. Intentionality is the relationship between mental acts and the external world. Every mental phenomenon has content and it is directed at an object. Two fundamental distinct meanings are attributed to the concept of intentionality: direction and deliberateness. Intentionality can be conceived of through communicative intentions and action plans.

The main concepts of communication, namely, cooperation, sharedness and intentionality are indispensable concepts to understand the process of comprehension and reconstruction of response in communication. Without rich shared knowledge, the inferential chain in non-standard communication becomes lengthy and laborious. Other possibilities arise due to the absence of the fundamental concepts, one of which is failure of communication. Any mental process can be envisaged in terms of steps starting with the expression of an act, moving through speaker meaning, to the communicative effect, then to the reaction it creates and finally the production of overt communicative response.

The paper examines the scale of complexity of mental representation and shows the underlying processes required in meaning construction. Additionally, the difference between standard and non-standard communication is presented in terms of complexity of inferential processes needed for each two different cases in communication.

Authors: Qadir Karwan Ali
Published: September 2021

The main goal of this research is to know and display the extent in which social media sites and platforms affect the voting behavior of the university students in the Kurdistan region during general elections, either to participate in the election or to vote for a specific candidate or political party. It also explores how the students participate and interact with the electoral messages and information that are published on social media platforms. This research is a political communication study, which relies on the survey method utilizing questionnaire form as a tool for data collection from the participants. The questionnaire form was designed and implemented online through Google Form and was sent to the participants through Email, Messenger, Viber and Whatsup, to the university student in different universities in the Kurdistan region. As such, 344 persons of the sample have filled up the questionnaire form in one week from 10 to 16 August 2021. The results of the study were displayed in tables and were analyzed through descriptive method, in addition to the use of SPSS statistics software to find correlation between the two main variables of the study.
          One of the most prominent results of this study was that only a small proportion of the participants (almost 27%) are influenced by social media to change their voting behavior such as deciding to vote or no, and voting for a specific candidate or political party. Another noticeable result was that the majority of the participants with almost (50%) do not trust the promises and speeches of the candidates and political parties that are published on social media platforms.
The Common Misconceptions about Sign Language
Authors: Pirot Khunaw Sulaiman , Ali Wrya Izaddin
Published: September 2021

This paper entitled ‘The Common Misconceptions about Sign Language’ is concerned with the most common misconceptions about sign language. It also deals with sign language and its relation with the spoken language. Sign language, primarily used by deaf people, is a fully-developed human language that does not use sounds for communication, but it is a visual-gestural system that uses hands, body and facial gestures. One of the misconceptions is that all sign languages are the same in the worldwide. Such assumptions cause problems. Accordingly, some questions have been raised: first, is sign language universal? Second, is sign language based on spoken language? And third, is sign language invented by hearing people?
     The aim of the paper is to have a deeper understanding about sign language. It also demonstrates the similarities and differences between the two different modalities: sign language and spoken language. The paper is based on some hypothesis. One of the hypotheses is that sign languages are pantomimes and gestures. It also hypothesizes that the process of language acquisition in sign language for deaf people is different from the language acquisition in spoken language for hearing people.
    To answer the questions raised, the qualitative approach is adopted. The procedure is to collect data about the subject from books and articles and then analyze the data to obtain the aim of the study.  One of the conclusions is that sign language is not universal. It is recommended that more work can be carried out on the differences between either American Sign Language (ASL) or British Sign Language (BSL) with reference to zmânî âmâžaî kurdî (ZAK) Kurdish Sign Language) at all linguistic levels.
Legal Morality in Fullerian Jurisprudence
Authors: Qadir Hemin Ibrahim , Ahmed Muhamad Najmadeen
Published: September 2021

The American legal philosopher Lon L. Fuller profoundly advanced a sophisticated morality conception of law through his argument for thesis of Legal Morality (LM).  In particular, he adumbrated a novelist idea of “ internal morality of law” that would enable the transformation of the sophisticated morality conception of law into a conception idea of law and morality connection while simultaneously providing an explanation of the new and fresh thesis of legal morality. Contrary to the common (and mostly legal positivism) view, Fuller argues that it is not only the case that the (external) morality determines what the level of any connection between law and morality, rather it is also the idea of law in itself regenerates the idea of morality (internally). However, it is argued that in spite of the fact that Fuller suggested a sophisticated account of interconnection between law and morality, he fails to develop the complexities of the (morality) connection to the law in systemic way. What does he miss in his argument of the connection between law and morality? This study will advance the view that there are more than one way to make a connection between law and morality. Some of these connections can be named here: the morality of duty, the morality of legal subject, the morality of legal official, the morality of legal end, the morality of legal content and the internal and external morality of law. This study argues that each type of these connections between law and morality importantly has many effective outcomes in term of conception and implication of law, which Fuller did not tell us. In Fuller’s work, one can grasp the soundness of this connection in a variety levels. Yet, surprisingly to Fuller’s own works, this study will show that Fuller’s thesis of legal molarity must be expanded and justified on the different ground. In doing so, this study argues not only to make sense of Fuller’s legal morality, but it also redirects the systemic way to bring all pieces of Fuller’s claim of legal morality together and to seek the rationality beyond the legal.
Recampesinizando los usi civici: Estrategias socioecológicas tradicionales de manejo del territorio entre pastores en Baunei (Cerdeña)
Authors: Liverani Luca , Gallar Hernández David
Published: September 2021

Agrarian industrialization and new food regimes have radically changed socioecologies of local and global agrarian structures displacing traditional socioecological strategies of land use and management. This paper analyses this transformation from an agroecological perspective by raising the question of how the agrarian activities and the uses of commons have changed in the municipality of Baunei (Sardinia, Italy) with a special focus on livestock farming.
Ethnographic research –through participant observation methods and open and semi-structured in-depth interviews– has enabled to reconstruct the traditional use of land and the strategies of its socioecological management as well as the changes produced by agricultural modernization and modernity at large, and finally, to unveil new perspectives of re-peasantization among Baunei’s shepherds to obtain more feasible and sustainable farms. This study highlights tendencies of re-peasantization in land management strategies and the seek for cooperative answers, including an internal reflection on the socioecological meaning of traditional strategies for managing the commons (in usi cicivi) and provides insights to the new potentials of such management and social cooperation practices together with new agricultural techniques and organizational structures in building more sustainable and just food and agricultural systems.

The Fishing Rights Conflict in the South China Sea between Vietnam and China
Authors: Arumbinang Mohammad Hazyar , Gunawan Yordan , Anggriawan Rizaldy
Published: September 2021

This research aims to understand and clarify the international legal perspec-tive relating to the current dispute and how they are resolved according to international law between Vietnam and China over fishing rights in the South China Sea. This paper has adopted a normative legal research with a statutory and historical approaches. The data will be analysed by using de-scriptive-analytical analysis. This paper reveals that there are two legal is-sues in the fishing rights conflict between Vietnam and China. First is the legality of the Nine-dashed Line by China to claim the disputed water. Sec-ond, the legality of unilateral fishing ban policy by China over the disputed water, which both has no legality under international law. Although China claims over SCS using Nine-dashed Line and unilateral fishing ban policy under international law has no legal basis, the dispute over SCS including fishing rights continued until today. The solutions offered to solve these problems include a resolution on SCS dispute must be made legally and di-plomacy to build confidence-building measures. Ideally, both states should honour the accepted negotiation steps to agree upon compensation for the effects of the disputes and be sincere and earnest in their attempts and com-mitment to resolving their dispute.

Authors: Oliveira Ivanilde Apoluceno de , Soares Priscila Costa
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo corresponde a uma pesquisa de campo de abordagem qualitativa, cujo foco é para as práticas educativas com mulheres jovens e adultas promovidas por um Núcleo de Educação Popular de uma universidade pública do Estado do Pará em uma classe hospitalar.  Esta classe está situada em um espaço de acolhimento, vinculado a um hospital, que é referência no tratamento de vítimas de acidente por motor de barco no Pará. Essas mulheres advêm de diversas regiões da Amazônia paraense para residirem na casa anexo ao hospital, a fim de realizarem tratamento médico.  Mediante a visível demanda psicoemocional das educandas, o Núcleo formulou o projeto Roda de Sentimentos, inspirada nas rodas de conversa de Paulo Freire, que objetivou fomentar o diálogo e escuta sensível (entre educandas e educadores) sobre temas as quais emergiam no contexto hospitalar e que tinham importantes impactos na vida diária das educandas. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a estratégia pedagógica da roda de conversa na prática educativa da educação popular com mulheres jovens e adultas da classe hospitalar do espaço de acolhimento. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, participante e documental. Como resultados, observamos um aumento na capacidade de interação social no espaço que refletiu sobre o aumento da participação das educandas na EJA e minimização do sofrimento relacionado ao contexto do tratamento.
imprescindíveis de nosso tempo
Authors: Paiva Jane , Fernandes Fatima Lobato
Published: September 2021

A trajetória na educação de jovens e adultos, cruzada com ensinamentos da educação popular na vida e trajetória acadêmica e profissional das autoras, tem demonstrado o quanto Paulo Freire se mantém, no belíssimo poema de Brecht, como imprescindível para pensar o campo da educação com as classes populares. Atravessadas por reflexões de Freire em sua longa e insistente obra, e por experiências diretas vividas em tempos concomitantes e marcantes, impregnaram seus fazeres cotidianos de princípios que constituem acentos mais do que relevantes em defesa do direito à educação para todos, à dignidade humana e ao reconhecimento social devido a todas as gentes. Usando (como Certeau, 1994) sentidos próprios para o que pode ser considerado imprescindível na pesquisa-ensino-extensão, as autoras percorrem princípios freireanos que sustentam práticas de pesquisa e o exercício democrático na formação de profissionais no campo da educação de jovens e adultos, atualizando um Paulo Freire a quem seguem como o educador gostaria: reinventando-o.

Published: September 2021

O presente artigo objetiva estabelecer reflexões pertinentes acerca do currículo que se pretende emancipador para a Educação de Pessoas Jovens Adultas e Idosas (EJA) a partir das contribuições da Pedagogia Freireana. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, consubstanciada por reflexões teóricas realizadas pelas autoras, professoras pesquisadoras em ações de ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Como aportes teórico-metodológicos, para a compreensão da interface currículo da/para EJA abordaram-se autores como Freire (1989; 1987; 1979; 1975), Arroyo (2016; 2007; 2006), Oliveira (2009), Laffin (2013) Sanceverino (2019), Jardilino e Araújo (2014), entre outros(as) pesquisadores(as) que se referem a essa temática. Os resultados apontam que o currículo da/para a EJA deve garantir aos(às) educandos(as) aprendizagens significativas, considerar seus saberes e respeitar a diversidade dos sujeitos. Além disso, evidencia-se a urgência de superar a invisibilidade da EJA nos documentos legais que orientam a elaboração do currículo, bem como a necessidade de redesenhar currículos que, de fato, promovam a emancipação política, social e cultural das pessoas jovens, adultas e idosas.

Construção de conhecimentos na educação superior sob a égide da interdisciplinaridade
Authors: Da Silva Maria de Fátima Gomes , Leite Carlinda
Published: September 2021

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma investigação de pós-doutoramento que teve por objetivo analisar o modo como a interdisciplinaridade está presente nas práticas docentes da Educação Superior em Portugal e no Brasil. O estudo recorreu a uma abordagem de orientação qualitativa, em que a coleta de dados foi feita por um questionário de pergunta aberta. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Concluiu-se que, embora essa construção de conhecimento na docência universitária se perspective no sentido da interdisciplinaridade, a mesma apresenta uma visão cartesiana e simplista. Por isso, tornam-se relevantes práticas docentes universitárias na perspectiva de uma epistemologia da interdisciplinaridade, com base no diálogo, na parceria e no rigor científico.

Published: September 2021

Los elementos de tierras raras son cada vez más importantes debido a sus propiedades y aplicaciones en el campo de la tecnología (Moldoveanu, 2012), entre los elementos de tierras raras, el neodimio es un elemento clave en la industria tecnológica. Entre sus aplicaciones resaltan la fabricación de imanes y motores para vehículos eléctricos (Molina L., 2012). Aunque la concentración de Nd en la corteza terrestre es considerable (12-41-5 mg.Kg-1) se considera un elemento crítico debido a la posible escasez de exportaciones por parte de China a Estados Unidos y Europa (Rademaker & Kleijn, 2013), por tanto, el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías que permitan recuperar neodimio es una tarea de gran relevancia.

use of TransLanguage to improve oral reading proficiency in a foreign language classroom
Authors: Pánchez-Jiménez Thalía
Published: September 2021

Translanguaging is an approach that sees no boundaries between languages and allows their simultaneous use when teaching and learning a new language, therefore, it can be used as a scaffold device to develop a foreign language since it helps students clarify terms and make meaning. Nevertheless, it is a relatively recent term in Latin America, and investigations related to it are scarce. The main objective that guided this study was to apply translanguaging during English classes in a private High School to improve the students´ oral reading proficiency. A pre and post-tests were taken at the beginning and the end of one unit (which lasted 6 weeks) where students read a 300-word passage and words read correctly within a minute were counted. Also, a Likert-scale survey was applied to students and a teacher to know their experiences and perceptions after the application of translanguaging. A t-test was carried out and the results showed an improvement in the students´ oral reading proficiency (Mean = 221.55 in the pre-test and Mean = 243.22 in the post-test with a standard deviation of 42.20 and 30.20 respectively) after the usage of this approach with a difference statistically significant (p > 0.001). The mean of words read correctly increased in the post-test (M = 21.68; SD = 18.88). The use of translanguaging probably had a positive result on the skill studied and also in the students and teacher´s experiences when using translanguaging.

Published: September 2021

En el proceso de prácticas preprofesionales realizadas en los centros educativos de nivel preparatoria de la educación general básica ecuatoriana, se han evidenciado dificultades en el desarrollo de habilidades motrices básicas necesarias para el aprendizaje de la lecto-escritura. El artículo es el resultado de un estudio cuasi-experimental con grupo control que propone implementar experiencias lúdicas con diferentes lenguajes artísticos para el desarrollo de destrezas motoras en los niños y niñas entre 5 y 6 años, de seis centros educativos ubicados en diferentes sectores urbanos y periurbanos de la ciudad de Quito. Se basa en la evaluación con la prueba de funciones básicas antes y después de la aplicación de experiencias lúdicas de aprendizaje que fusionan artes escénicas, musicales y plásticas-visuales, adecuadas al objetivo de aprendizaje en los grupos de experimentación y control de cada institución, para determinar las diferencias en cada grupo y en su contraste. El diagnóstico inicial demuestra una prevalencia superior al 50% de estudiantes con déficit en las destrezas motoras. Luego del proceso aplicado y la evaluación postest, se observa una reducción de las áreas deficitarias y un mejor desarrollo en las destrezas de dominancia lateral, ritmo y coordinación visomotora en el grupo experimental frente al control. Se concluye que la propuesta que conjuga el arte y la lúdica favorece el desarrollo de la motricidad gruesa y fina, necesarias para el proceso de lecto-escritura, observándose, además, que este proceso promueve la expresión libre y espontánea de los infantes para su mejor desarrollo personal y social.

Gambling in Ancient North America
Authors: Yanicki Gabriel
Published: September 2021

Gambling in ancient North America was primarily an intergroup activity. This position as a liminal practice, taking place on territorial frontiers and at large intertribal gatherings, puts gaming on the very forefront of cultural transmission and knowledge exchange, with several implications. Intergroup gaming results in a shared fluency of games, transcending barriers of language and ethnicity. Evidence of common methods and materials allows ancient, region-spanning social networks to be identified. And subtle variations demonstrate a repeated and ongoing negotiation between groups over time as objectives and participants change, with this evolution of gaming practices continuing to the present day. The freedom to adapt to changing conditions, contrasted with notions of a static “traditional” past, is not just a matter of sovereignty relating to Indigenous games. It is a reflection of the nature of Indigenous gaming as it has always been.

Introduction. Extended spongy urethral strictures require the use of plastic surgery techniques. In most cases, a one-stage urethral repair can be performed. However, staged urethroplasty and permanent urethrostomy are important in patients with extremely complex urethral strictures. Purpose of the study. To determine the clinical features of spongy urethral strictures, which cannot be cured by one-stage urethroplasty, but are subject to multistage plastic or permanent urethrostomy. Materials and methods. The study included 158 patients who underwent surgery for urethral strictures in 2010 − 2019. Inclusion criteria: spongy urethral strictures requiring staged urethroplasty or permanent urethrostomy. Exclusion criteria: age<18 years, proximal urethral strictures, urethra-vesical anastomosis and bladder neck stenosis, previously untreated congenital anomalies (hypospadias and epispadias), and history of any other urethral surgery not meeting the inclusion criteria. Results. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 88 years. Iatrogenic (34.8%) and inflammatory (32.3%) urethral lesions predominate in the structure of etiological factors with the most common penile localization of narrowing (43.7%). The length of strictures in half of the patients exceeds 6 cm; a quarter of the sample has subtotal and total spongy urethral lesions. The proportion of recurrent urethral strictures is 56.3%. The average duration of the urethral stricture disease reaches 8 years. In 61.3% of cases, the disease is accompanied by complications from both local tissues and organs of the urinary and reproductive systems. Conclusion. Clinical evaluation of patients with spongy urethral strictures requiring multi-stage urethroplasty or permanent urethrostomy reveals a particular severity of urethral stricture disease. This category of patients has a high risk of unsuccessful outcomes with one-stage surgery. In these cases, patients require a multi-staged urethroplasty or a permanent urethrostomy.

Unsur hara tanah memiliki peran penting dalam peningkatan produktivitas tanaman. Hal ini yang kemudian membuat petani harus menggunakan berbagai jenis pupuk dengan fungsi memberikan kecukupan nutrisi serta unsur hara yang dibutuhkan dalam pertumbuhan tanaman. Pengaplikasian pupuk organik pada lahan pertanian membutuhkan tenaga dan biaya yang besar, apalagi kalau lahan tersebut luas. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut maka digunakan aplikator pupuk organik. Aplikator pupuk organik ini kemudian digandeng dengan menggunakan traktor roda dua sebagai penariknya. Penelitian yang dilakukan bertujuan untuk menentukan kapasitas kerja dan efisiensi penggunaan aplikator pada sawah tadah hujan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode percobaan di lapangan dan dianalisis deskriptif. Pengujian aplikator ini menggunakan tiga perlakuan kecepatan, yaitu pada 2,71 km/jam, 3,38 km/jam dan 4,62 km/jam. Ukuran petakan yang digunakan untuk masing-masing kecepatan adalah 45 m x  27 m. Hasil pengukuran dan perhitungan diperoleh bahwa kecepatan aplikator yang baik pada lahan sawah tadah hujan adalah 2,71 km/jam. Kapasitas kerja yang diperoleh adalah 0,35 ha/jam untuk kapasitas lapang teoritis. Sedangkan untuk kapasitas lapang efektif adalah 0,26 ha/jam. Dari kedua kapasitas kerja tersebut diperoleh efisiensi lapang 74,74%.

The outbreak of new coronavirus acute respiratory disease (SARS-CoV-2) has been a major global challenge for the scientific community to save humanity. While, the unviability of the vaccine keeps most classes of society, especially African countries, suffer from the healthcare problem. Conventional medicine plants become the alternative method for the therapeutic because it contains valuable bioactive compounds. This brief review devoted the importance of medicinal plants such as Citrus, olive, garlic, ginger, green tea, woad, broad-leaf privet, Japanese torreya, and saffron crocus, by their antiviral effects (anti-SARS coronavirus, anti-HSV, and anti-HIV diseases) and their promising uses as probable boosters of the immune and anti-inflammatory response from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on scientific reports, bioactive compounds could inhibit 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease and human protein ACE2, where these facts can be attractive to develop effective drugs.

A resolução espacial dos receptores de imagem digitais é um importante parâmetro para avaliar seu desempenho e sua influência na qualidade das imagens, e pode ser avaliada através da Função deTransferência de Modulação (MTF). Neste trabalho investigou-se o desempenho do receptor de conversãoindireta de Iodeto de Césio (CsI) em mamografia digital, por meio da obtenção da MTF utilizando simulaçõesMonte Carlo com o código PENELOPE. Avaliou-se a influência de diversos fatores sobre a MTF, tais como acombinação anodo/filtro, o potencial do tubo de raios X e a atenuação do feixe pela mama. Os resultadosmostram que, para um mesmo potencial do tubo, a MTF é maior para a combinação Mo/Mo que para ascombinações W/Rh e W/Ag. Além disso, observou-se uma redução na MTF com o aumento do potencial dotubo, principalmente para feixes de fótons com energias acima da borda de absorção K do receptor. Aatenuação do feixe pela mama, e o consequente aumento da energia média do feixe, mostrou-se um fator depouca influência sobre o grau de degradação da resolução da imagem mamográfica.
