É uma pesquisa em arte, de natureza básica e abordagem qualitativa, centrada no meu percurso artístico, buscando responder o então problema de pesquisa: De que forma o artista processa as próprias experiências (vivências) de mundo dentro da universidade e como ele as devolve para o mundo em forma de arte? Para tanto, proponho questões acerca do meu envolvimento com o desenho no contexto familiar, da infância até a universidade e o que se processa em (vivências) experiências neste entorno. Investigo o desenho desde a pré-história com breve passagem pelas vanguardas chegando ao contemporâneo, desdobrando-se em outras questões. Detenho-me...

METHODS: Cross-sectional epidemiological study of children and adolescents aged six and 16 years; evaluated at the general pediatrics outpatient clinic of the Hospital Universitário do Oeste do Paraná, in Cascavel City, State of Paraná. The variables analyzed were: sex, age, BMI, and their relationship to the pediatric symptoms checklist (PSC). For the analysis of the data the chi-square hypothesis tests and Fishers exact hypotheses were used for the proportions. The measure of effect of interest was the 95% confidence interval ratio, obtained with the Poisson regression, considering significant results with value of p<0.05 Wald test. RESULTS: 157 subjects aged six to 16 years participated, 123(78%) of which were under 12 years of age. Of these, 66 (42%) were female and 91 (58%) male, 88 (56%) were obese and 69 ...

Em 2015, O World Press Photo criou a categoria Long-Term Projects que premia ensaios construídos em períodos longos de tempo. Utilizaremos o ensaio The House That Bleeds, do fotógrafo mexicano Yael Martínez, premiado nesta categoria em 2019, para refletirmos sobre o estatuto do fotojornalismo em suas dimensões expressivas e éticas. Para isto, vamos operar uma análise do ensaio e compará-lo a outros dois vencedores da mesma categoria a fim de reconhecer o papel da construção de subjetivação e da ação política do fotógrafo ao registrar a si e a sua família em seu drama pessoal enquanto vítimas da violência em seu país. Os operadores analíticos são buscados nos conceitos e categorias articulados ao processo reflexivo sobre as imagens, seus constituintes, sua sintaxe, sua dinâmica sensível, assim como na associação constelar que permitem quando pensadas em ...

However, there is still a lack of research to measure these documents quality. This article describes an approach of framework documentation denominated Guide Cooperation Framework (GCF) and a model of quality and issues, based on the Goal /Question/Metrics (GQM) model, whose aim is to help the interpretation of the quality measuring results of the framework documentation. The proposed model assesses the documentation ease of understanding and its usability.

The freshwater Amazon ecoregion contains the main hydrographic basins of the Neotropical region that are highly dendritic and ecologically diverse. It contains a rich and endemic fish fauna, including one of its most iconic and economically important representatives, the bony-tongue Arapaima gigas (Teleostei, Osteoglossiformes). Here, we evaluated the projected distribution of the genus in different historical periods (Present, Last Glacial Maximum, Last Interglacial Maximum and Near Future) and interpreted these results in light of the genomic diversity and modeled historical demography. For that, we combined species distribution models, population genetic analysis using SNPs and deep learning model selection. We analyzed a representative sample of the genus from the two basins where it natu...

Each gesture is drawn as a curve generated from a particular mathematical model (or function) and coded as a MATLAB script. The gestures can be deterministic through defining mathematical time functions, hand free drawn, or even randomly generated. This parametric information of gestures is interpreted through OSC messages by a granular synthesizer (Granular Streamer). The musical composition is then realized with the models (scripts) written in MATLAB and exported to a graphical score (Granular Score). The method is amenable to allow statistical analysis of the granular sound streams and the final music composition. We also offer a way to create granular streams based on correlated pair of grains parameters.

These problems represent a major obstacle for institutions seeking to provide society with quality education. Given this context, it is essential to identify the factors associated with these problems. To minimize the occurrence of educational problems, several types of research use approaches/techniques, such as Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Machine Learning (LM). These approaches/techniques can analyze educational data generated in teaching-learning environments by applying data mining tasks such as prediction (regression and classification) grouping or associating data, to make intrinsic knowledge discoveries in Dice. The main objective of this work is to identify through a Systematic Mapping of Literature, the main approaches / p...

Apesar de ser bastante conhecido, nao ha na literatura levantada, relato de uso desse metodo em situacoes nao presenciais ou com o auxilio do computador. No Versus, os Mapas Conceituais foram utilizados como midia para representacao do conhecimento. Abstract: This article presents Versus, a virtual learning environment for mediating activities in the cooperative learning method called Academic Controversy. Although it is a well known method, there is no report of using it within distance learning or computer mediated situations. Versus also uses Concept Maps as media for knowledge representation.

Phagocytosis is one of their most important functions and essential for the elimination of invading microorganisms. The aim of the present work was to compare the phagocytosis rates of propidium iodide-labeled Staphylococcus aureus (SaPI) and Escherichia coli (ECPI) of bovine granulocytes. Thus, 100 μL of whole blood from 15 dairy cows in lactation were incubated with 100 μL of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) or Escherichia coli (O98:H28), at the concentration of 2.4 x 10 9 colony forming units per milliliter, and 900 μL of phosphate-buffer saline (PBS) for 30 minutes at 37 °C. The samples were analyzed by flow cytometry where at least 20,000 polymorphonuclear leukocytes based on their cell size and granularity characteristics were acquired. The Flow Jo Tree Star software was used to analyze the data. The mean PMNL phagocytosis rates of SAPI and ECPI were 55.04 a (±11.92) and 28.95 b ...

From D69 to D210, anti-S1/S2IgG positivity and GMT reduced 23.8% and 38% in ARD(p<0.001/p<0.001) and 20% and 51% in CG(p<0.001/p<0.001). From D69 to D210 NAb positivity and activity declined 41% and 54% in ARD(p<0.001/p<0.001) and 39.7% and 47% in CG(p<0.001/p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male(OR=0.56;95%CI0.40-0.79;p<0.001), prednisone(OR=0.56; 95%CI0.41-0.76;p<0.001), anti-TNF(OR=0.66;95%CI0.45-0.96;p=0.031), abatacept(OR=0.29; 95%CI0.15-0.56;p<0.001) and rituximab(OR=0.32;95%CI0.11-0.90;p=0.031) use were associated with a substantial reduction on IgG response at D210 in ARD patients. A decrease of COVID-19 cases(from 27.5 to 8.1/100 person-years;p<0.001)...

Semantic Web, which can be seen as the Web's future, introduces a set of concepts and tools that are being used to insert "intelligence" into contents of the current WWW. Among such concepts, Ontologies play a fundamental role in this new environment. Through ontologies, software agents can cover the Web "understanding" its meaning in order to execute more complex and useful tasks. This work presents an architecture that uses Semantic Web concepts allied to Regular Expressions (regex) to develop a device that retrieves/extracts specific domain information from the Web (HTML documents). The prototype developed, based on this architecture, gets data about offers announced on supermarkets Web sites, using Ontologies and regex to achieve this goal.
