description: We demonstrate nearly-spherical, strain-free, self-assembled Ge quantum dots (QDs) fully encapsulated by AlAs, grown on (100) GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The QDs were formed without a wetting layer using a high temperature, in-situ anneal. Subsequent AlAs overgrowth was free from threading dislocations and anti-phase domains. The straddling band alignment for Ge in AlAs promises strong and tunable confinement for both electrons and holes. The reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) pattern changed from 2x3 to 2x5 with anneal, which can be explained by surface reconstructions based on the electron-counting model.

description: Este breve ensaio sobre o poeta e escritor russo Vladimir Mayakovsky é uma modesta tentativa de contribuir para um (re)descobrimento ou para uma simples revisitação da produção literária russa do período soviético, que, por razões muitas vezes apenas de ordem política e não estética, caiu no esquecimento, não sendo traduzida na sua totalidade, como é o caso de Mayakovsky, ou, pura e simplesmente, sendo votada ao “ostracismo”, porque rotulada, a priori ou ab initio, como obras escritas dentro das paredes estreitas do “realismo socialista”, padecendo de falta de criatividade e norteando-se, aberta ou dissimuladamente, pelos princípios rígidos e imutáveis de um totalitarismo inflexível. Contudo, nem toda a literatura soviética pode ser enquadrada no realismo socialista, valendo a pena conhecê-la e analisá-la.

description: In recent times Massive Multiplayer Online Game has appeared as a computer game that enables hundreds of players from all parts of the world to interact in a game world (common platform) at the same time instance. Current architecture used for MMOGs based on the classic tightly coupled distributed system. While, MMOGs are getting more interactive same time number of interacting users is increasing, classic implementation architecture may raise scalability and interdependence issues. This requires a loosely coupled service oriented architecture to support evolution in MMOG application. Data flow architecture, Event driven architecture and client server architecture are basic date orchestration approaches used by any service oriented architecture. Real time service is hottest issue for service oriented architecture. The basic requirement of any real time service oriented architecture is to ensure the quality of service. In this paper we have proposed a service oriented architecture for massive multiplayer online game and a specific middleware (based on open source DDS) in MMOGs for fulfilling real time constraints.

Wiedza Indian Achuar na temat natury. Wprowadzenie do koncepcji animizmu Philippe Descoli

Year: 2014
Subjects: animizm, nowy animizm, Philippe Descola, etnografia, teoria, badania terenowe

description: Main aim of this paper is to present the ethnographic contex on which French anthropologist Philippe Descola builds his reconceptualisation of animism. This researcher distances himself from the classic concept formulated by the British anthropologist Sir Edward B.Tylor, in which animism is seen as a form of religious belief that assigns a spiritual aspect to everything that lives (1871). Thus, he offers not only a new perspective on the phenomenon, but also an anthropological method of research. In the years 1976-1978 Descola conducted fieldwprk among the Achuar Indians. Among the broad spectrum of his anthropological interests, the Achuar relations with their natural environment were of central importance. Based on solid field material, he proposed an interesting reformulation of how we might understand animism so that it becomes more consistent with the empirical phenomena it is intended to describe.

description: We present the results of muon-spin relaxation measurements on the triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet $α$-KCrO$_{2}$. We observe sharp changes in behaviour at an ordering temperature of $T_{\mathrm{c}}=23$ K, with an additional broad feature in the muon-spin relaxation rate evident at T=13 K, both of which correspond to features in the magnetic contribution to the heat capacity. This behaviour is distinct from both the Li- and Na- containing members of the series. These data may be qualitatively described with the established theoretical predictions for the underlying spin system.

description: Sin lugar a dudas, el inglés se ha convertido en las últimas décadas en la lingua franca de la comunidad científica internacional, desplazando incluso a otras lenguas que tuvieron una gran importancia en otras épocas, caso del francés o del alemán. El lenguaje científico español también ha sucumbido a esta entrada masiva del inglés en las distintas disciplinas científico-técnicas, y presenta desde hace unas décadas ciertas características que no son propias de las reglas gramaticales del español y que son el fruto de una contaminación lingüística derivada de la penetración del inglés. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar las características del lenguaje médico tal y como lo podemos encontrar en las publicaciones españolas actuales. Para ello, el artículo se divide en tres apartados: en primer lugar, haremos un breve recorrido por la historia del lenguaje médico como punto de partida para comprender la evolución de este lenguaje. En segundo lugar, analizaremos las características principales dentro de los niveles léxico-semántico, morfosintáctico y fonético-fonológico del lenguaje médico español y veremos la influencia que ha tenido el inglés en el proceso de evolución del mismo. En tercer lugar, examinaremos los procedimientos de creación y formación de términos médicos y cómo afectan al desarrollo lingüístico de la terminología.

«LE SOUPER»
Creators: name: Pinho Lucas De Freitas De Carvalho Pedrosa, Lúcia Margarida
Publisher: name: POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP
Year: 2019

description: «Le souper» constitue le XIIème chapitre du roman de Voltaire, Zadig – Le monde comme il va (1747). On y trouve plusieurs aspects qui font le charme des contes de l’époque, tels que la fantaisie, l’imagination, le voyage, la couleur locale, l’humour, la satire… Le héros, Zadig, se mouvemente dans un cadre exotique (l’Arabie), il vit des situations bizarres, comiques et parodiques. Mais Voltaire ne veut pas tout simplement amuser le lecteur, il a une thèse à défendre, par conséquent il invite le lecteur à lire dans les entre-lignes. Voltaire essaie de montrer satiriquement que l’homme croit dominer les événements, mais en effet, il n’est qu’un jouet des forces qui le dépassent. Zadig est toujours dans la quête du bonheur qui semble impossible: quand il croit que finalement il est heureux, la destinée lui tend un piège. Dans «Le souper», Voltaire continue à exposer ses philosophies et c’est pourquoi il choisit le banquet qui est très propre à la confrontation d’idées. Il y rassemble plusieurs hommes de différentes nationalités et cultures et qui ont une grande diversité de points de vue, en ce qui concerne les superstitions et les préjugés. La discussion devient animée et anecdotique et elle sert à illustrer la thèse de Voltaire, selon laquelle l’homme est médiocre et ignorant, le fanatisme est dangereux et mène à la violence, et le hasard joue un rôle primordial dans notre vie. Dans «Le souper», chaque convive tente d’imposer ses convictions, en méprisant celles des autres, ce qui donne une image accablante de la condition humaine. Cependant, Zadig, en faisant usage de sa raison et de son esprit critique, réussit à réconcilier tout le monde, et quand il semble que «tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes», il lui arrive une catastrophe: on veut brûler Zadig à petit feu, car il venait de détruire une ancienne tradition- «le bûcher du veuvage», ce qui illustre et justifie le scepticisme de Voltaire par rapport à la Providence.

description: For any graph $H$, let ${\rm Forb}^*(H)$ be the class of graphs with no induced subdivision of $H$. It was conjectured in [A.D. Scott, Induced trees in graphs of large chromatic number, {\em Journal of Graph Theory}, 24:297--311, 1997] that, for every graph $H$, there is a function $f_H:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that for every graph $G \in {\rm Forb}^*(H)$, $χ(G) \leq f_H(ω(G))$. We prove this conjecture for several graphs $H$, namely the paw (a triangle with a pendant edge), the bull (a triangle with two vertex-disjoint pendant edges), and what we call a "necklace," that is, a graph obtained from a path by choosing a matching such that no edge of the matching is incident with an endpoint of the path, and for each edge of the matching, adding a vertex adjacent to the ends of this edge.

description: We explore theoretically the single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide that is coupled to a hybrid atom-optomechanical system in a strong optomechanical coupling regime. Using a full quantum real-space approach, transmission and reflection coefficients of the propagating single-photon in the waveguide are ob- tained. The influences of atom-cavity detuning and the dissipation of atom on the transport are also studied. Intriguingly, the obtained spectral features can reveal the strong light-matter interaction in this hybrid system.

description: O texto expressa uma reflexão sobre a obra Triste Fim de Policarmo Quaresma, escrita em 1915, por Lima Barreto, escritor realista, brasileiro. Busca identificar nas narrativas e ações do seu narrador, um homem comum, as revoltas, mas também as esperanças dos homens comuns no recém criado regime republicano. Enfoca ainda que, apesar dos episódios narrados, dos personagens serem construções ficcionais do autor, nos remetem a personagens, diálogos e espaços do Rio de Janeiro que evocam a historia de um regime ditatorial de Floriano Peixoto, no alvorecer da Republica. Nesse regime, mostra o autor, que a insegurança, a insatisfação e o medo tomaram conta da população do Rio de Janeiro no começo do século XX. E Policarpo Quaresma, o personagem narrador da obra, sofrera as injustiças e arbitrariedades da ditadura do Marechal Floriano Peixoto. Diante disso, revela sua dor e plena desolação com a Republica, forma de governo pelo qual lutara e que ajudara a criar. Por fim, o texto procura mostrar que embora a literatura seja tecida com adornos da ficção, ela traduz a sociedade e o tempo no qual ela foi produzida, além de mostrar que o positivismo sustentava a pratica política da Republica brasileira.

description: By a Ruspini partition we mean a finite family of fuzzy sets $\{f_1, \ldots, f_n\}$, $f_i : [0,1] \to [0,1]$, such that $\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x)=1$ for all $x \in [0,1]$, where $[0,1]$ denotes the real unit interval. We analyze such partitions in the language of Gödel logic. Our first main result identifies the precise degree to which the Ruspini condition is expressible in this language, and yields inter alia a constructive procedure to axiomatize a given Ruspini partition by a theory in Gödel logic. Our second main result extends this analysis to Ruspini partitions fulfilling the natural additional condition that each $f_i$ has at most one left and one right neighbour, meaning that $\min_{x \in [0,1]}{\{f_{i_1}(x),f_{i_2}(x),f_{i_3}(x)\}}=0$ holds for $i_1\neq i_2\neq i_3$.

description: All musicians, regardless of their chosen area of study, take on the role of an
educator at some point in their career. As Luis Alfonso Estrada Rodriguez
writes, “[m]any musicians devote time in their lives in one way or another
to teaching. This is, however, an activity that in many cases was not taken
into account in their studies” (240). In particular, music theorists and
musicologists often serve as instructors in higher education and, therefore,
devote many hours to the pedagogy of music. The Oxford Handbook of
Philosophy in Music Education, edited by Wayne Bowman and Ana Lucía
Frega—a collection of writings from leading, contemporary music education
philosophers—provides a useful resource for those academics of music
that find themselves in this common position. In this review, first I briefly
provide the historical progression of music education philosophy over the
last forty years in order to situate the ideas and themes for readers outside
the field of music education. Second, I highlight some important themes
within the book, focusing on connections among the chapters rather than
addressing them separately. Third, I suggest how academics outside of the
field of education may apply it to higher education. Finally, I remark on the
connection between theory and practice in this text and music education
scholarship and look to the future.
PARA UMA LEITURA NÃO-BIOGRÁFICA DA OBRA DE MÁRIO DE SÁ-CARNEIRO (E UMA APRECIAÇÃO DE «O MODERNISMO EM MÁRIO DE SÁ-CARNEIRO» DE FERNANDO CABRAL MARTINS)

description: Este artigo pretende sublinhar a importância de entender a obra de Mário de Sá-Carneiro através de uma leitura atenta da sua produção literária que não procura provas da “veracidade” dessa leitura na biografia do poeta do Orpheu. Partindo de uma análise do trabalho crítico de Fernando Cabral Martins, levanta-se a problemática de deturpar uma análise de crítica literária com abordagens influenciadas por normas de história da literatura que inserem a obra no seu contexto histórico, o que tem sido o caso na recepção da obra de Sá-Carneiro, onde o mito do autor tende a ofuscar o seu legado literário. Assim, este artigo questiona se em O Modernismo em Mário de Sá-Carneiro, Fernando Cabral Martins consegue libertar a obra sá-carneiriana da sombra do poeta biográfico, e oferece uma avaliação panorâmica da tradição crítica dedicada ao autor, apontando para casos de interpretações que se prenderam com questões que ficam para fora do texto, como tem sido o caso com a natureza homossexual da obra e do homem.

description: We have released an archive of all observational data of the VUV spectrometer Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) on SOHO that has been acquired until now. The operational phase started with 'first light' observations on 27 January 1996 and will end in 2014. Future data will be added to the archive when they become available. The archive consists of a set of raw data (Level 0) and a set of data that are processed and calibrated to the best knowledge we have today (Level 1). This communication describes step by step the data acquisition and processing that has been applied in an automated manner to build the archive. It summarizes the expertise and insights into the scientific use of SUMER spectra that has accumulated over the years. It also indicates possibilities for further enhancement of the data quality. With this article we intend to convey our own understanding of the instrument performance to the scientific community and to introduce the new, standard-FITS-format database.

description: Objectives: Adenocarcinoma has replaced squamous cell carcinoma as the most common cell type of lung cancer in the United States. It has been proposed that this shift is due to the increased use of filter and lower-tar cigarettes, resulting in increased delivery of smoke to peripheral regions of the lungs, where adenocarcinoma usually occurs. We reviewed radiologic data to evaluate the hypothesis that tumors in smokers of cigarettes with lower-tar yield are more likely to occur peripherally than tumors in smokers of higher-yield cigarettes.

Methods: At two urban academic medical centers, we reviewed computed tomographic scans, chest radiographs, and medical records to assign tumor location (peripheral or central) for 330 smokers diagnosed with carcinoma of the lung between 1993 and 1999. We compared the proportion of tumors in a peripheral versus central location by lifetime filter use and average lifetime tar rating (<21 and ≥21 mg).

Results: Tumor location (69% peripheral and 31% central) was unrelated to cigarette filter use. Smokers of cigarettes with lower-tar ratings were more likely than those with higher ratings to have peripheral rather than central tumors (odds ratio, 1.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.89-3.47). When restricted to subjects with adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 2.31 (1.05-5.08).

Conclusions: Among cigarette smokers with lung cancer, use of cigarettes with lower-tar yield was associated with preferential occurrence of tumors in peripheral sites. Our findings support the hypothesis that changes in smoking associated with lower-tar cigarettes have led to a shift in the location of smoking-related lung cancer.

This has been repeatedly taken as evidence for an interpretation of Einstein's equations as equations of state for unknown degrees of freedom underlying the metric. We show that a different interpretation of Jacobson result is possible, which does not imply the existence of additional degrees of freedom, and follows only from the quantum properties of gravity. We introduce the notion of quantum gravitational Hadamard states, which give rise to the full local thermodynamics of gravity.

Já as duas narrativas de viagem – Viagens: Espanha e França (1874) e Viagens: França, Baviera, Áustria e Itália (1875) – do Fundador e da Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa são deveras desconhecidas. Nelas se projecta a particular geografia do olhar do polígrafo português em viagem pela Europa e cuja reconstituição é o alvo deste estudo. Os objectivos perseguidos por este trabalho são, por conseguinte, a percepção e reconstrução do espaço de Luciano Cordeiro, nomeadamente da Espanha, tentando dilucidar o que na obra é de cariz geográfico, repousando sobre uma análise descritivo-realista da paisagem, e o que é de cariz literário ou ficcionado.

Vagueness, Indiscernibility, and Pragmatics: Comments on Burns

description: I am sympathetic with Ms. Burns’ general philosophy of vagueness as a pervasive, multidimensional phenomenon with a variety of sources. I am not, however, all that comfortable with some of the specific arguments she offers in support of this view. In particular, I am uneasy with Burns’ central arguments to the effect that the borderline case variety of vagueness—that which produces the sorites paradoxes and puzzles concerning the possibility of higher-order vagueness—is in fact less extraordinary (and less disastrous) than people in the tradition of Michael Dummett and Crispin Wright have alleged. The point is crucial, of course, because it provides necessary grounds for resisting the objection that this type of vagueness is irremediably more “inquiry resistant” than mere informational vagueness. All the same, it seems to me that the proposed treatment involves presuppositions that cannot be taken for granted. My purpose here is to take a closer look at some of these presuppositions, to weigh them against the arguments, and to show that they may—when left ungrounded—undermine much of Burns’ general program.

description: Este artículo presenta los resultados de un análisis de contenido sobre la representación de la mujer en la prensa española que forma parte de una investigación más amplia que abarca el periodo de 1974-2000. Nuestra investigación supone una importante contribución a otras investigaciones ya que analiza de forma comparativa, sistemática y longitudinal las representaciones sociales y políticas enfocadas en la prensa. Examinamos como en los medios de comunicación los periodistas utilizan frecuentemente distintas referencias para los diferentes tipos de actores a partir de recursos estilísticos que ayudan a enfatizar sus argumentos. En la mayoría de los casos, estos pasan desapercibidos pero en ocasiones se convierten en generalizaciones que parten de ideas preconcebidas y prejuicios. Nuestros resultados demuestran que los actores a los que los medios de comunicación dedican menos espacio son también los que reciben un peor tratamiento. Específicamente, las mujeres reciben una menor atención como colectivo en los medios de comunicación analizados. Además, aparecen como personajes pasivos, no son enfocadas como representantes públicas y son relegadas a la vida privada. Principalmente, las mujeres son enfocadas realizando actividades deportivas, culturales o de entretenimiento o cuando son víctimas, mientras que sólo una minoría de ellas merecen atención efectuando acciones políticas. Después de exponer este diagnóstico, realizaremos propuestas de estilo, lenguaje y producción de noticias para fomentar que los periódicos muestren de forma positiva una sociedad con igualdad de oportunidades.

description: Micromagnetic properties of monopoles in artificial kagome spin ice systems are investigated using numerical simulations. We show that micromagnetics brings additional complexity into the physics of these monopoles that is, by essence, absent in spin models: besides a fractionalized classical magnetic charge, monopoles in the artificial kagome ice are chiral at remanence. Our simulations predict that the chirality of these monopoles can be controlled without altering their charge state. This chirality breaks the vertex symmetry and triggers a directional motion of the monopole under an applied magnetic field. Our results also show that the choice of the geometrical features of the lattice can be used to turn on and off this chirality, thus allowing the investigation of chiral and achiral monopoles.

description: Hard spheres in Newtonian fluids serve as paradigms for Non-Newtonian materials phenomena exhibited by colloidal suspensions. A recent experimental study (Cheng et al. 2011 Science, 333, 1276) showed that upon application of shear to such a system, the particles form string-like structures aligned in the vorticity direction. We explore the mechanism underlying this out-of-equilibrium organization with Steered Transition Path Sampling, which allows us to bias the Brownian contribution to rotations of close pairs of particles and alter the dynamics of the suspension in a controlled fashion. Our results show a strong correlation between the string structures and the rotation dynamics. Specifically, the simulations show that accelerating the rotations of close pairs of particles, not increasing their frequency, favors formation of the strings. This insight delineates the roles of hydrodynamics, Brownian motion, and particle packing, and, in turn, informs design strategies for controlling the assembly of large-scale particle structures.

description: Interessa-nos para este artigo perscrutar as representações da vida social em narrativas do escritor angolano Uanhenga Xitu, mormente no que diz respeito à personagem feminina e ao papel da mulher nas sociedades tradicionais angolanas. Nas narrativas cujas ações se passam no interior de Angola, as representações sociais da mulher revelam um modus vivendi diferenciado daquele experimentado por mulheres que migram para a capital, Luanda, espaço em que a noção de vida comunitária, tão significativa nas sociedades tradicionais, perde seu significado. Os trabalhos lá executados, por exemplo, serão em favor do colono, como os dos empregados domésticos, e não para a coletividade. Já nos espaços interiores, mais distantes da mão pesada do colonizador, as representações da vida social dos angolanos são mais expressivas e essa diferenciação revela que a migração do campo para a cidade, no caso de um país dominado pela colonização, metaforiza o abandono de um tipo de (con)vivência social em favor de outro. Como a política colonial portuguesa foi assimilacionista, essa migração será sinônimo de busca de adesão ao modus vivendi do outro, muitas vezes para sofrer menos os efeitos da dominação. Para essa discussão, não é por livre escolha que se tratará das personagens femininas na obra de Xitu, posto que as mulheres em seus textos ganham vez e voz para a expressão do proprium angolano, como se o autor as quisesse homenagear em sinal do reconhecimento de sua importância na construção e preservação da memória, que é capaz de criar laços identitários entre as milenares gerações passadas e as futuras, como esboçaremos (Esta reflexão teve origem no estudo desenvolvido no doutoramento, intitulado Entre dois contares: o espaço da tradição na escrita de Uanhenga Xitu, defendida em 1996 na FFLCH-USP, e orientada pela Dra. Maria Aparecida Santilli, falecida em março de 2008).

description: Background: The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) is a nation-wide population-based pregnancy cohort initiated in 1999, comprising more than 108.000 pregnancies recruited between 1999 and 2008. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of integrating RNA analyses into existing MoBa protocols. We compared two different blood RNA collection tube systems – the PAXgene™ Blood RNA system and the Tempus™ Blood RNA system - and assessed the effects of suboptimal blood volumes in collection tubes and of transportation of blood samples by standard mail. Endpoints to characterize the samples were RNA quality and yield, and the RNA transcript stability of selected genes. Findings: High-quality RNA could be extracted from blood samples stabilized with both PAXgene and Tempus tubes. The RNA yields obtained from the blood samples collected in Tempus tubes were consistently higher than from PAXgene tubes. Higher RNA yields were obtained from cord blood (3 – 4 times) compared to adult blood with both types of tubes. Transportation of samples by standard mail had moderate effects on RNA quality and RNA transcript stability; the overall RNA quality of the transported samples was high. Some unexplained changes in gene expression were noted, which seemed to correlate with suboptimal blood volumes collected in the tubes. Temperature variations during transportation may also be of some importance. Conclusions: Our results strongly suggest that special collection tubes are necessary for RNA stabilization and they should be used for establishing new biobanks. We also show that the 50,000 samples collected in the MoBa biobank provide RNA of high quality and in sufficient amounts to allow gene expression analyses for studying the association of disease with altered patterns of gene expression.
CONTRASTE E ALTERIDADE NA VIAGEM CONTEMPORÂNEA

description: No mundo contemporâneo globalizado, definido pela sua qualidade essencialmente fluida e instável, o carácter distintivo da viagem parece dissolver-se face à contracção do planeta, à economia das “trocas simbólicas” e a um alegado processo de diluição das diferenças e de homogeneização cultural. Com efeito, a mediatização da sociedade e a proliferação icónica contemporâneas produzem um aparente estado de saturação da geografia real e de multiplicação de lugares enquanto representações e imagens, permitindo pôr em causa a própria necessidade e urgência de deslocação, bem como admitir a abolição do “estatuto de privilégio” de certos lugares e a derradeira quebra no conceito aurático das férias e das viagens, tradicionalmente assente em antinomias cruciais entre o quotidiano/familiar e o diferente/extraordinário. O presente artigo propõe-se abordar o paradigma da mobilidade contemporânea, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à traumática aniquilação do espaço e do tempo e ao seu impacto fortemente disruptivo sobre a dimensão ontológica de uma prática cultural cujo poder aurático se encontra tradicionalmente relacionado com a conquista de distâncias, a percepção de diferenças e a experiência de alteridade. O artigo pretende, por outro lado, refutar a declaração pós-moderna de que a familiarização com o outro conduz a uma diminuição do potencial de choque cultural no turismo contemporâneo, discutindo a relevância e a prevalência da busca de contraste e formas de vivência de alteridade no complexo novelo de motivações da viagem turística contemporânea.

description: How long does it take to fall down a tunnel through the center of the Earth to the other side? Assuming a uniformly dense Earth, it would take 42 minutes, but this assumption has not been validated. This paper examines the gravity tunnel without this restriction, using the internal structure of the Earth as ascertained by seismic data, and the dynamics are solved numerically. The time taken to fall along the diameter is found to be 38 rather than 42 minutes. The time taken to fall along a straight line between any two points is no longer independent of distance, but interpolates between 42 minutes for short trips and 38 minutes for long trips. The brachistochrone path (minimizing the fall time between any two points) is similar to the uniform density solution, but tends to reach a greater maximum depth and takes less time to traverse. Although the assumption of uniform density works well in many cases, the simpler assumption of a constant gravitational field serves as a better approximation to the true results.

DA INFÂNCIA PARA O MUNDO: AS LEITURAS QUE EDUCAM PARA OS VALORES E FORMAM O CARÁCTER

description: Neste artigo pretende-se reflectir sobre a importância da leitura de contos para o desenvolvimento moral e ético na infância. Partindo da confusão entre valores e opiniões e das dificuldades em educar para os valores num mundo anti-ético, comenta-se a relevância do ritual da “Hora do Conto” – tanto à hora de dormir como durante o dia – e da terapia através dos contos. Defende-se ainda que a reflexão e a consciencialização que advêm da leitura de alguns contos – de que se sugerem exemplos – permitem a aquisição de referências sólidas no âmbito duma “ética de salvaguarda”: de si, dos outros, da natureza e do mundo.

description: Background: Preterm birth is a major cause of neonatal mortality, responsible for 28% of neonatal deaths overall. The administration of antenatal corticosteroids to women at high risk of preterm birth is a powerful perinatal intervention to reduce neonatal mortality in resource rich environments. The effect of antenatal steroids to reduce mortality and morbidity among preterm infants in hospital settings in developed countries with high utilization is well established, yet they are not routinely used in developing countries. The impact of increasing antenatal steroid use in hospital or community settings with low utilization rates and high infant mortality among premature infants due to lack of specialized services has not been well researched. There is currently no clear evidence about the safety of antenatal corticosteroid use for community-level births. Methods: We hypothesize that a multi country, two-arm, parallel cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether a multifaceted intervention to increase the use of antenatal corticosteroids, including components to improve the identification of pregnancies at high risk of preterm birth and providing and facilitating the appropriate use of steroids, will reduce neonatal mortality at 28 days of life in preterm newborns, compared with the standard delivery of care in selected populations of six countries. 102 clusters in Argentina, Guatemala, Kenya, India, Pakistan, and Zambia will be randomized, and around 60,000 women and newborns will be enrolled. Kits containing vials of dexamethasone, syringes, gloves, and instructions for administration will be distributed. Improving the identification of women at high risk of preterm birth will be done by (1) diffusing recommendations for antenatal corticosteroids use to health providers, (2) training health providers on identification of women at high risk of preterm birth, (3) providing reminders to health providers on the use of the kits, and (4) using a color-coded tape to measure uterine height to estimate gestational age in women with unknown gestational age. In both intervention and control clusters, health providers will be trained in essential newborn care for low birth weight babies. The primary outcome is neonatal mortality at 28 days of life in preterm infants. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov. Identifier: NCT01084096

description: Managing software development productivity and effort are key issues in software organizations. Identifying the most relevant factors influencing project performance is essential for implementing business strategies by selecting and adjusting proper improvement activities. There is, however, a large number of potential influencing factors. This paper proposes a novel approach for identifying the most relevant factors influencing software development productivity. The method elicits relevant factors by integrating data analysis and expert judgment approaches by means of a multi-criteria decision support technique. Empirical evaluation of the method in an industrial context has indicated that it delivers a different set of factors compared to individual data- and expert-based factor selection methods. Moreover, application of the integrated method significantly improves the performance of effort estimation in terms of accuracy and precision. Finally, the study did not replicate the observation of similar investigations regarding improved estimation performance on the factor sets reduced by a data-based selection method.
