Narrativas em roda de formação em rede: Histórias interligadas pelo SEURS
No full textTrabalho apresentado no 31º SEURS - Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul, realizado em Florianópolis, SC, no período de 04 a 07 de agosto de 2013 - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.Este minicurso foi elaborada para ser desenvolvido no SEURS – Seminário de Extensão Universitário da Região Sul em 2013. Caracteriza-se como uma das atividades do Projeto de Extensão PROEXT MEC 2013, intitulado Rodas de Conversa Intercampi: processos de formação pela narrativa na/da docência, desenvolvido na Universidade Federal do Pampa – UNIPAMPA, a partir da integração de docentes, discentes e Técnicos dos Campi Bagé, Uruguaiana e Dom Pedrito. Tem como objetivo possibilitar a discussão dos elementos da história de vida dos sujeitos (sexualidade, gênero, etnia, grupos sociais, trabalho, entre outros) e a forma como a identidade se constitui individual e socialmente permeada pelas possibilidades de participação em eventos, congressos, na relação que estabelecemos com os outros, para dessa forma perceber a importância do SEURS na formação e na constituição da identidade como estudante ou como profissional. O minicurso, nesse contexto torna-se significativo, visto que o SEURS possui uma história dedicada a extensão

No full textA wheelchair is a chair with wheels, designed to be a replacement for walking. When some individuals with the
limitation of movement (disability) are helped by the usage of standard wheelchair, some other disabled people found
difficulties or almost impossible to operate this standard wheelchair. To facilitate this group of disabled individuals,
researchers make use the technology which initially developed for mobile robot to create a smart wheelchair, which then
dramatically reduces the need of physical gestures, observabilities and skills needed to operate the standard wheelchair.
The purpose of this final project is to implement the control system for a smart wheelchair in which could be
controlled using head movement that is captured by the webcam, as well as to avoid any obstacles/obstructions with
minimum fault. The control system for this smart wheelchair adopts Visual C# 2008 and EmguCV software which act as a
library to indentify the head movement. The head movement then will be sent and implemented into a microcontroller
system that organize the movement of the motor in the wheelchair. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the presence of
any obstacles/obstructions.
The result of this study concluded that the position and the direction of the ultrasonic sensor is having an influence
with the detection of the objects in front of the wheelchair. This smart wheelchair, in addition to joystick, could also be
controlled by using head movements. The movement of the wheelchair is in accordance with the movement of the user’s
head captured by the webcam. This smart wheelchair is able to detect the presence of any obstacles/obstructions and route
to avoid them or to stop in front of them with 45 cm measured in front of the wheelchair.

Studi e Problemi di Critica Testuale
No full textFondati da Raffaele Spongano nel 1970 e da lui diretti fino al 1995, gli «Studi e problemi di critica testuale» (ISSN: 0049-2361) sono poi passati sotto la direzione di Emilio Pasquini, cui nel 2001 si sono affiancati altri tre allievi di Spongano, Alfredo Cottignoli, Clemente Mazzotta e Vittorio Roda, nonché una redazione di giovani studiosi afferenti al Dipartimento di Italianistica dell’Università di Bologna. La rivista, semestrale, si ispira a un'idea modernamente complessa di filologia, non ristretta al puro aspetto ecdotico, ma inclusiva di tutto ciò che concerne l'esegesi dei testi letterari e la loro collocazione nel loro contesto storico e in un più vasto reticolato intertestuale. Assai ricca la sezione delle recensioni e rassegne; di grande utilità quella degli spogli da periodici italiani e stranieri.

Testing the thermal state of Biella pluton country rocks via numerical model of magma cooling
No full textThe Biella pluton (30-31 Ma) is a Periadriatic intrusive of the Alps, emplaced in the internal part of the HP continental Sesia Lanzo Zone (Berger et al., 2012). Pluton cooling involved contact metamorphism overprinting eclogitic to greenschist facies assemblages in country rocks. Multiscale structural analysis combined with thermos-barometric estimates suggest that magma intrusion took place at shallow crustal levels (Zanoni et al., 2008; Zanoni et al., 2010; Zanoni, 2015).
The emplacement history indicates that the intrusion of Biella body occurred when the Sesia Lanzo Zone had almost completed its exhumation under low thermal state consistent with an ongoing subduction (e.g. Roda et al., 2012 and refs therein). The mechanism proposed for triggering the Periadriatic magmatism are either subduction (Tiepolo et al., 2014) or slab break-off (e.g. Von Blankenburg & Davies, 1995). However recent numerical modeling (Freeburn et al., 2015) suggests that a slab break-off related melting does not result in the widespread magmatism characterizing many collisional belts.
In order to unravel the thermal state of the Biella stock country rocks at the intrusion time we develop a preliminary 2D thermal model of pluton cooling testing four different thermal gradients of the host rocks. We compare the extent and the variation in the thermal peak of the contact aureole recorded in the country rock (Fig. 1) with the results of the numerical simulations.
The computed thermal boundary of the aureole is between 300 and 400°C and is wider than the mapped one due to the difficulty to distinguish between contact and greenschists regional metamorphism at such low temperatures. The best fit occurs for the simulation accounting for temperatures between 427 and 527°C (700 and 800 K) at 8 km depth (Fig. 2), assuming conduction as the only effective heat transfer mechanism. This indicates that the emplacement occurred under thermal gradients between 55 and 65°C/km that would exclude a syn-subductive magmatism. The suggested thermal gradient for the country rock of the Biella pluton would represent the constraint for testing different scenarios responsible for the generation of Periadriatic magmatism
Ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C: And the mystery goes on
No full textTwenty years ago, ribavirin was first used in the treatment for chronic hepatitis C. After few years, ribavirin, in combination with interferon-alpha, showed a dramatic synergistic efficacy against hepatitis C virus infection, leading to viral clearance in about 50% of patients. Recent discovery of potent inhibitors of hepatitis C virus proteases did not replace ribavirin as the mainstay of combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C. Despite this fundamental role of ribavirin, many aspects of the mechanism of action and of the optimal dose and duration of therapy remain to be discovered or settled. In the present review, the authors recall the milestones in the history of ribavirin and try to shed light on the more relevant features of ribavirin action and utilization, and on the clinical problems encountered in managing and optimizing treatment for chronic hepatitis C. Finally, some potential off-label use of this drug in most difficult-to-treat subjects is pointed out. In conclusion, even if a sort of mystery surrounds ribavirin, its efficacy against hepatitis C virus infection fortunately remains lasting and stable
