Português como língua de acolhimento no interior do Rio Grande do Norte: Projeto SOS Português & Aldeias Infantis
Authors: Oliveira Márcia 
Published: March 2020

RESUMO: Com a recente onda de entrada de imigrantes refugiados no Brasil, surgiu nos últimos anos neste país um processo pelo qual a língua portuguesa passou a ser necessidade de várias pessoas que aqui vieram pedir asilo ou refúgio. Neste trabalho queremos mostrar através de um breve relato a realização de um curso de português como língua de acolhimento oferecido a um grupo de refugiados venezuelanos acolhidos pela ONG SOS Aldeias Infantis em Caicó/RN. Nosso principal objetivo será mostrar alguns dos métodos e atividades usadas além das principais dificuldades encontradas nesta ação. Para Gomes de Matos (2014), professores podem praticar simples ações positivas que os transformem em agentes humanizadores, tais como conhecer as histórias, expectativas e desejos dos seus alunos. Tomando como base esta Linguística da Paz, é como mostraremos como a dimensão afetiva dos seres discursivos envolvidos no proceso tiveram um rol importante para o sucesso deste projeto. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Português como língua de acolhimento. Linguística da Paz Aplicada. Projeto SOS Português e Aldeias Infantis.
Optimization of Cosmic Radiation Detection in Saline Environment
Authors: Savu Valeriu , Ion Rusu Mădălin , Savastru Dan 
Published: March 2020

Following the interaction of a neutrino with saline environment, the Cherenkov cone will be generated. The electromagnetic effect of the Cherenkov cone is perpendicular to the cone generator and it has the energy directly proportional to the neutrino energy. In the saline environment, neutrinos with very high energies (noise – 115 dBm) can be determined. Investigation of these neutrinos will lead to the construction of a Cherenkov detector. The construction of a Cherenkov detector involves the design and the construction of a very large number of detection elements and of cascade amplifiers. Another necessary condition is to know exactly the distribution of the dielectric parameters of the saline environment. In order to know the distribution of the dielectric parameters of the saline environment, it is necessary to make a map of their distribution. Under these conditions, the number of detection elements will be optimized and also the optimal position of the future Cherenkov detector will be determined. In this chapter, we will present the methodology of calculating the detection elements and a method to determine the dielectric parameters. Measurements of attenuation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in this environment will be presented. We will detail how to optimize a Cherenkov detector.
Le tatouage comme archive, de la trace de l’écriture à l’écriture de la trace
Authors: Wiener Simone 
Published: March 2020

Ces dernières années, les tatouages font l’objet d’un véritable engouement mais, à la différence de ceux des sociétés traditionnelles, ce sont des motifs originaux et choisis individuellement.Comment saisir cette pratique qui consiste à inscrire quelque chose sur la peau, de façon indélébile ? Pourrait-elle avoir la fonction de nous arrimer à un lieu, à un nom, à un collectif ?Je partirai du corps en tant qu’espace pour ouvrir ma réflexion sur la pluralité des tatouages.Je ferai quelques hypothèses sur les formes différentes d’inscriptions corporelles allant du stigmate à la parure érotique donnée à voir jusqu’à la marque identitaire. Le tatouage, dans certains cas, pourrait-il constituer une sorte d’appui symbolique, l’écriture d’une trace visible sur le corps dont la nécessité serait d’empêcher l’oubli ?
De la scarification au tatouage : une écriture intime
Authors: Rioult Catherine 
Published: March 2020

Dans les sociétés traditionnelles, le corps sert de carte d’identité. L’anthropologie a mis en évidence que le corps marqué par des scarifications et/ou des tatouages porte le système de signes d’un groupe social qui permet à un individu d’en identifier un autre au premier regard.
La psychanalyse permet, elle, d’accéder au discours que le jeune ne peut pas énoncer verbalement mais qu’il inscrit sur sa peau, dans les scarifications et les tatouages.
L’histoire de plusieurs adolescentes, au travers de leur parcours psychothérapeutique, montre comment elles sont passées des scarifications qu’elles s’infligeaient dans le secret de leur douleur de vivre à un tatouage choisi et assumé aux yeux de tous.
Le tatouage, élément ornemental de marquage corporel, a eu pour elles une fonction de sublimation de leurs pulsions destructrices.
Protection sociale et émancipation. Une alliance vertueuse mais instable
Authors: Ville Isabelle 
Published: March 2020

L’article discute les conditions de possibilité d’alliances vertueuses entre protection sociale et émancipation, en empruntant la voie ouverte par Nancy Fraser (2013). Depuis les années 1970, les mesures de protection sociale en faveur des personnes ayant des incapacités instaurées par les États-providence sont la cible de critiques. D’un côté, les personnes ayant des incapacités et les disability studies dénoncent leur fondement paternaliste, les formes de ségrégation et l’oppression qu’elles produisent, entretenant ainsi la dépendance et la passivité de leurs bénéficiaires. De l’autre côté, l’« État social actif » des années 1990 cherche à limiter l’accès à ces mêmes mesures au titre qu’elles incitent les personnes à profiter de la solidarité nationale et entravent leur autodétermination. Ces deux lignes de critiques convergent pour rejeter les formes de protections du côté de l’aliénation et associer l’émancipation à l’exercice de l’autonomie et de la défense des droits, d’un côté, à la responsabilisation individuelle, de l’autre. Une relecture de travaux empiriques concernant deux périodes distinctes du contexte français : l’entre-deux guerres, avec l’émergence des premiers collectifs de personnes handicapées, et les années 1990, marquées par l’instauration de politiques d’activation, permet de mettre en lumière des formes d’agencements entre dispositifs de l’action publique et travail local de care, véritables sources d’émancipation, même s’ils restent fragiles.
Bring the World to the Child
Authors: Good Katie Day 
Published: March 2020

How, long before the advent of computers and the internet, educators used technology to help students become media-literate, future-ready, and world-minded citizens.
Today, educators, technology leaders, and policy makers promote the importance of “global,” “wired,” and “multimodal” learning; efforts to teach young people to become engaged global citizens and skilled users of media often go hand in hand. But the use of technology to bring students into closer contact with the outside world did not begin with the first computer in a classroom. In this book, Katie Day Good traces the roots of the digital era's “connected learning” and “global classrooms” to the first half of the twentieth century, when educators adopted a range of media and materials—including lantern slides, bulletin boards, radios, and film projectors—as what she terms “technologies of global citizenship.”
Good describes how progressive reformers in the early twentieth century made a case for deploying diverse media technologies in the classroom to promote cosmopolitanism and civic-minded learning. To “bring the world to the child,” these reformers praised not only new mechanical media—including stereoscopes, photography, and educational films—but also humbler forms of media, created by teachers and children, including scrapbooks, peace pageants, and pen pal correspondence. The goal was a “mediated cosmopolitanism,” teaching children to look outward onto a fast-changing world—and inward, at their own national greatness. Good argues that the public school system became a fraught site of global media reception, production, and exchange in American life, teaching children to engage with cultural differences while reinforcing hegemonic ideas about race, citizenship, and US-world relations.
Spatial Computing
Authors: Shekhar Shashi , Vold Pamela 
Published: March 2020

An accessible guide to the ideas and technologies underlying such applications as GPS, Google Maps, Pokémon Go, ride-sharing, driverless cars, and drone surveillance.
Billions of people around the globe use various applications of spatial computing daily—by using a ride-sharing app, GPS, the e911 system, social media check-ins, even Pokémon Go. Scientists and researchers use spatial computing to track diseases, map the bottom of the oceans, chart the behavior of endangered species, and create election maps in real time. Drones and driverless cars use a variety of spatial computing technologies. Spatial computing works by understanding the physical world, knowing and communicating our relation to places in that world, and navigating through those places. It has changed our lives and infrastructures profoundly, marking a significant shift in how we make our way in the world. This volume in the MIT Essential Knowledge series explains the technologies and ideas behind spatial computing.

The book offers accessible descriptions of GPS and location-based services, including the use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID for position determination out of satellite range; remote sensing, which uses satellite and aerial platforms to monitor such varied phenomena as global food production, the effects of climate change, and subsurface natural resources on other planets; geographic information systems (GIS), which store, analyze, and visualize spatial data; spatial databases, which store multiple forms of spatial data; and spatial statistics and spatial data science, used to analyze location-related data.

Original, action-oriented humanist practices for interpreting and intervening in the city: a new methodology at the intersection of the humanities, design, and urban studies.
Urban humanities is an emerging field at the intersection of the humanities, urban planning, and design. It offers a new approach not only for understanding cities in a global context but for intervening in them, interpreting their histories, engaging with them in the present, and speculating about their futures. This book introduces both the theory and practice of urban humanities, tracing the evolution of the concept, presenting methods and practices with a wide range of research applications, describing changes in teaching and curricula, and offering case studies of urban humanities practices in the field.
Urban humanities views the city through a lens of spatial justice, and its inquiries are centered on the microsettings of everyday life. The book's case studies report on real-world projects in mega-cities in the Pacific Rim—Tokyo, Shanghai, Mexico City, and Los Angeles—with several projects described in detail, including playful spaces for children in car-oriented Mexico City, a commons in a Tokyo neighborhood, and a rolling story-telling box to promote “literary justice” in Los Angeles.
Downtime on the Microgrid
Authors: McCullough Malcolm 
Published: March 2020

Something good about the smart city: a human-centered account of why the future of electricity is local.
Resilience now matters most, and most resilience is local—even for that most universal, foundational modern resource: the electric power grid. Today that technological marvel is changing more rapidly than it has for a lifetime, and in our new grid awareness, community microgrids have become a fascinating catalyst for cultural value change. In Downtime on the Microgrid, Malcolm McCullough offers a thoughtful counterpoint to the cascade of white papers on smart clean infrastructure. Writing from an experiential perspective, McCullough avoids the usual smart city futurism, technological solutionism, policy acronyms, green idealism, critical theory jargon, and doomsday prepping to provide new cultural context for a subject long a favorite theme in science and technology studies.
McCullough describes the three eras of North American electrification: innovation, consolidation, and decentralization. He considers the microgrid boom and its relevance to the built environment as “architecture's grid edge.” Finally, he argues that resilience arises from clusters; although a microgrid is often described as an island, future resilience will require archipelagos—clusters of microgrids, with a two-way, intermittent connectiveness that is very different from the always-on, top-down technofuture we may be expecting. With Downtime on the Microgrid, McCullough rises above techno-hype to find something good about the smart city and reassuring about local resilience.
Sleight of Mind
Authors: Cook Matt 
Published: March 2020

Exploring more than seventy-five well-known paradoxes in mathematics, philosophy, physics, and the social sciences showing how reason and logic can dispel the illusion of contradiction.
Paradox is a sophisticated kind of magic trick. A magician's purpose is to create the appearance of impossibility, to pull a rabbit from an empty hat. Yet paradox doesn't require tangibles, like rabbits or hats. Paradox works in the abstract, with words and concepts and symbols, to create the illusion of contradiction. There are no contradictions in reality, but there can appear to be. In Sleight of Mind, Matt Cook and a few collaborators dive deeply into more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, physics, philosophy, and the social sciences. As each paradox is discussed and resolved, Cook helps readers discover the meaning of knowledge and the proper formation of concepts—and how reason can dispel the illusion of contradiction.
The journey begins with “a most ingenious paradox” from Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. Readers will then travel from Ancient Greece to cutting-edge laboratories, encounter infinity and its different sizes, and discover mathematical impossibilities inherent in elections. They will tackle conundrums in probability, induction, geometry, and game theory; perform “supertasks”; build apparent perpetual motion machines; meet twins living in different millennia; explore the strange quantum world—and much more.

BackgroundHeat shock protein family A member 1 like (Hspa1l) is a member of the 70kD heat shock protein (Hsp70) family. HSPA1L is an ancient, evolutionarily conserved gene with a highly conserved domain structure. The gene is highly abundant and constitutively expressed in the mice testes. However, the role ofHspa1lin the testes has still not been elucidated.MethodsHspa1l-mutant mice were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Histological and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze the phenotypes of testis and epididymis. Apoptotic cells were detected through TUNEL assays. Fertility and sperm motilities were also tested. Quantitative RT-PCR was used for analyzing of candidate genes expression. Heat treatment was used to induce heat stress of the testis.ResultsWe successfully generatedHspa1lknockout mice.Hspa1l-/-mice exhibited normal development and fertility. Further,Hspa1l-/-mice shown no significant difference in spermatogenesis, the number of apoptotic cells in testes epididymal histology, sperm count and sperm motility fromHspa1l+/+mice. Moreover, heat stress does not exacerbate the cell apoptosis inHspa1l-/-testes. These results revealed that HSPA1L is not essential for physiological spermatogenesis, nor is it involved in heat-induced stress responses, which provides a basis for further studies.

Published: March 2020

Background
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections among women worldwide. The current study’s main objective is to report the prevalence and distribution of HPV types in an urban population in Beijing, China.

Methods
All the eligible female participants aged ≥18 years were recruited from the Aerospace Center Hospital in Beijing, China between 2014 and 2018. A total of 21 HPV types were detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reverse dot blot method and fluorescence quantitative PCR method.

Results
In total, 12 high risk HPV types and nine low risk HPV types were detected. The HPV-positive rates were 8.85% in 2014, 7.16% in 2015, 7.60% in 2016, 8.31% in 2017, and 7.72% in 2018, respectively, in an urban population in Beijing, China. Overall, no significant differences in the HPV-positive rates were found over the five years. The peak prevalence of HPV infection in all types was observed in age group of 20–24 in all types. HPV52 was the dominant HPV type across the five years . Among all 21 HPV types, HPV66, HPV26, and HPV59 were ranked the top three in coinfection occurrence.

Conclusions
Our findings are very helpful for HPV screening and vaccination. The associations between gynaecological diseases and the HPV types with high prevalence, particularly HPV52, warrant further investigation.
Performances of the Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA), and validity of timing components in comparison with three commonly used agility tests in Chinese boys: an exploratory study
Authors: Cao Yue , Zhang Chunhua , Guo Rong , Zhang Dandan , Wang Shijiao 
Published: March 2020

Background
The practical application of the Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) has been reported in some Western countries. However, a few studies reported the application of the CAMSA in Chinese children. In addition, given that the CAMSA was designing to incorporate both movement skills and agility assessment, the value and validity of the timing component of the CAMSA are worth discussing.

Methods
By choosing the Illinois Agility Test, Repeated Side Step-1 m distance, and the newly designed Repeated Side Step-half of height as the benchmark, we evaluate the performance of the CAMSA, further establish the concurrent validity of the CAMSA timing components (completion time and time score). In total, 149 male children (mean age 9.0 ± 0.8 years) from public schools in Shanghai, China, participated in the study.

Results
The mean CAMSA completion time was 19.3 ± 5.3 (s), and mean time score was 8.7 ± 3.9 (range of 1–14) for all participants (n = 149). After adjusted the sprint speed, older age was positively associated with the performance of the CAMSA. Being overweight was not associated with the performance of the CAMSA comparing with healthy body mass children, however, being obese was negatively associated with the CAMSA timing components and total score. Children having extracurricular sports activities (e.g., athletic experiences), mostly soccer, were more likely to demonstrated better performances of the CAMSA completion time, time score and total score. However, overweight and obese, also athletic experiences were not significantly contributed to the CAMSA skill score, although the association was slight (Adj R2 = 0.13). Besides, the CAMSA completion time has a strong correlation with the IAT, r = 0.77; RSS-1MD, r = − 0.76; and RSS-HHD, r = − 0.77, p < 0.01. The same pattern of correlation was also found between the CAMSA time score and three agility tests: IAT, r = − 0.79; RSS-1MD, r = 0.76; RSS-HHD, r = 0.78, p < 0.01.

Discussion
Overall, a few participants in the study were able to reach the recommended level of the total CAMSA score referring to the Canadian criterion. The strong concurrent validity was found between the CAMSA timing components and three selected agility tests, respectively.

Published: March 2020

Extraction and characterization of carrier oil has been conducted experimentally on coconut, avocado and carrot oil. FTIR scan analysis was carried out on the extracted oil. Also physical and chemical properties of the carrier oils were assessed to evaluate oil quality including Specific gravity, peroxide value, saponification value, acid value and free fatty acid. The result showed all the extracted oils were liquid at room temperature an indication of the presence of oleic acid and linoleic acid and other unsaturated fatty acids. The specific gravities of 0.92, 0.91 and 0.93 for coconut, avocado and carrot oils indicate that each of the oils could be used on commercial scale. The Peroxide value recorded 0.11-0.12 meq/kg which is far below the maximum limits of 1-5 meq/kg and can last for a long time without going rancid. The low saponification values of coconut, avocado and carrot oils of 127.62 meq/kg oil, 120.12 meq/kg oil and 130.47 meq/kg oil respectively indicates that the oils could be used industrially (soap making). An iodine value of 54.63g I2/100g coconut oil, 49.21g I2/100g avocado oil and 55.01g I2/100g carrot oil obtained indicates high level of unsaturated fatty acids and can explain its liquid state on storage at room temperature. Acid values of 6.10 mg KOH/g coconut oil, 9.40 mg KOH/g avocado oil and 6.50 mg KOH/g carrot oil indicated that the oils are acceptable for industrial purposes. The % FFA values obtained as 3.10%, 4.70% and 3.30% for coconut, avocado and carrot oils respectively indicates the suitability of the oils for consumption. The FTIR scan analysis showed the various compounds present in the oils and by indication presented that coconut oil have dominant properties over that of carrot oil and should not be used as base oil for its extraction. Carboxylic acid (effective in providing antioxidant and anti-aging protection as well as improving moisture retention) and aromatic groups were found present as well as esters (excellent hydrating and softening agents). These compounds are found in all vegetable oils thereby validating their quality and explain the excellent properties of carrier oils and why they are used in conjunction with essential oils for aromatherapy purposes as well as for human consumption.
