O profeta São João Maria continua encantando no meio do povo: um estudo sobre os discursos contemporâneos a respeito de João Maria em Santa Catarina
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social.Este é um estudo sobre os discursos contemporâneos a respeito de João Maria em Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil. Partindo da noção de discurso como ação humana significativa (Ricoeur), afirmo que os discursos a respeito de João Maria são construídos pelos joaninos a partir de sua cultura histórica (formada por valores, símbolos, imagens, personagens, eventos contextuais e um catolicismo difuso), possuem temporalidade, expressam algo e são disponibilizados para outras leituras e interpretações. É o próprio discurso dos joaninos que serve como mecanismo de legitimação de João Maria, dos discursos atribuídos a ele, dos próprios discursantes (joaninos) e de sua cultura histórica. João Maria é visto, neste trabalho, como evento fundante, em torno do qual gravitam muitos sentidos, e como entidade multivalente, identificado como Deus, Jesus Cristo, Profeta, Santo ou símbolo da luta pela terra. Legitimados, os discursos a respeito de João Maria apresentam-se como adequados na interpretação do mundo dos joaninos, no controle da indeterminação do mundo, para anunciar e acabar com o mal, reagir contra aquilo que não está de acordo com sua cultura, estimular a luta política ou anunciar o mundo desejado

President of Crimea. Constitution : Author(s) Autonomous Republic of Xena-Maria
No full textIn this essay, two voices are heared, from two women: a certain artist Xena, who talks about her life and its dramas, interwoven with her own experiences from her diaries; and the voice of Maria, who analyzes Xena's life story and her art, diffracted through the prim of the history of 21stC art. Art the outset, "President of Crimea. Constitution", announces its author as Xena-Maria; but it is not yet clear whether the author is one person or two, nor who they are. Is it Maria who writes here, or Xena, or both? Or are they one and the same person? But at the end of the story, which is told rather in a form of certain legends and fairy tales, Maria and Xena turn into one whole, and meaningfully put an ellipsis after the words "to be continued". This reception was specially intended by the artist Maria Kulikovska, author of this essay, in order to protect both herself and the reader from possible persecutions by migration services and goverment officials of various countries, especially Russia. Also, for her it is an opportunity to step aside and analyze her own life and art form a third person, about which, perhaps, a fictional character from her childhood talks - a sensible step for Maria Kulikovska. The step that her creative language conceptually continues is to replicate casts of her own body and establish them in different spaces and contexts. So she fairly confuses the viewer as to where is the truth, and where is fiction; where is herself, and where is her clone - only now, here, she has applied the same trick in her text. This essay tells a very personal story of the life of a human body, a migrant woman in forced relocation, displacements, alienation and persecutions for her views on life and the conduct of society, and for her moral values expressed throught architecture, sculpture, drawings, performances, actions and public statements. Through the prism of geopolitical upheavals, it tells the artist's own story: How her analysis of own body position and boundaries helped her overcome stigma regarding the body of a woman from Eastern Europe, and how art can save and redeem in an unending inner drama.

RCSB Protein Data Bank: A Resource for Chemical, Biochemical, and Structural Explorations of Large and Small Biomolecules
No full textThe Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) supports scientific research and education worldwide by providing access to annotated information about three-dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins), and associated small molecules (e.g., drugs, cofactors, inhibitors) in the PDB archive. Researchers, educators, and students use RCSB PDB resources to study the shape and interactions of biological molecules and their implications in molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, and beyond. RCSB PDB supports development of standards for data deposition, representation, annotation, and validation of atomic structural data obtained from various experimental methods. Uniform representation of PDB data is essential for providing consistent search and analysis capabilities for all PDB users, from beginning students to domain experts. The RCSB PDB Web site provides tools for searching, visualizing, and analyzing PDB data, including easy exploration of chemical interactions that stabilize macromolecules and play important roles in their interactions and functions. In addition, educational resources are available for free and unrestricted use in the classroom for exploring chemistry and biology at the molecular level.This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in Journal of Chemical Education, copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.

Invariant Characterisation of the Hough Transform for Pose Estimation of Arbitrary Shapes
No full textIn this paper we develop a new formulation and methodology for including invariance in a general form of the Hough transform. Essentially, the transformations that control a shape's appearance are extracted using invariance, for arbitrary shapes with a continuous description. We first develop a formal definition of the Hough transform mapping for arbitrary shapes and general transformations. We then include an invariant characterisation of shapes and develop and apply our new technique to extract shapes under similarity and affine transformations. Our formulation and implementation is based directly on parametric curves and so avoids the use of indexed look-up tables. This confers the attributes of a continuous shape description avoiding discretisation problems inherent in earlier formulations. To obtain an invariant characterisation, each point in the model is related to a collection of other points defining a geometric arrangement. This characterisation does not require the computation of properties for lines or other primitives that compose the model, but is based solely on the local geometry of the points on shapes. The transformation is obtained by solving for the parameters of the curve according to an arrangement of points defined for a point in the image and a corresponding arrangement of points for a point in the model with the same invariant properties. The location parameters can be gathered in a 2D accumulator space independent of the transformation and of a shape's complexity. Experimental results show that the new technique is capable of extracting arbitrary shapes under occlusion and when the image contains noise. As such this new formulation retains the known performance advantages of the Hough transform, whilst combining a continuous shape description with invariant mappings

Trabalho em equipe: uma estratégia de gestão
No full textTCC (especialização). Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Santa Catarina. Gerência de Especialização e Projetos Especiais. Curso de Especialização em Gestão HospitalarRealizamos esta monografia tendo como objetivo atender a exigência do Curso de Especialização em Gestão Hospitalar, para recebermos o título de especialista. A escolha do tema Trabalho em Equipe, passa pela crença de que todos somos sujeitos e construímos a história. Esta história também é construída nas organizações de trabalho. As organizações são construídas pelos seus sujeitos, porém a gestão pode inibir ou viabilizar a participação. Esta participação pode se dar como uma estratégia de gestão através do Trabalho em Equipe. Atuamos na Associação Santa Catarina de Reabilitação unidade assistencial da Secretaria do Estado da Saúde no período de maio de 1997 à setembro de 1998 no Setor de Neurologia Infantil e no período de maio de 1997 à outubro de 1998 nos Setores de Zeladoria e Manutenção, nos quais nos foi possibilitado o estudo através da observação participante. Este estudo visa identificar os fatores, as possibilidades, limites, influências internas e externas, do trabalho em equipe; relatar e analisar a experiência vivenciada; sugerir uma política de gestão hospitalar voltada para o desenvolvimento de trabalhos em equipe, através da implantação de uma assessoria interna. O estudo apresenta no primeiro capítulo As Atuais Tendências de Gestão, no segundo capítulo, considerações sobre Trabalho em Equipe, no Terceiro capítulo, o relato da experiência. Concluímos com uma análise teórico- pratica da experiência e apresentamos nossas sugestões
