As proporções ímpares do hiper-realismo existencialista de Ron Mueck
No full textEste artigo tenta compreender a obra do escultor Ron Mueck (Melbourne, 1958) pela via do existencialismo de Jean-Paul Sartre (Paris, 1905 – Paris, 1980), abrindo espaço para questionar acerca de como a Arte pode lidar com os questionamentos do nosso mundo de hoje. Busca-se, aqui, desvendar as possíveis significações culturais que a escultura atual com foco extremamente humano pode nos trazer, adensando o debate sobre os mecanismos de criação artística atual e oferecendo elementos à melhor compreensão do valor estético da escultura de cunho “existencialista”. Ainda, um ponto de grande valor crítico e que detectei na exposição de Ron Mueck no Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro foi o jogo de proporções da qual se serve o artista para nos mostrar que suas esculturas não são seres humanos reais, mas uma mimésis da realidade interior do ser humano na atualidade
Friends of the Greenwood Library Presents Ron Smith
No full textVirginia Poet Laureate Ron Smith spoke and read at Longwood University April 14, 2015 in celebration of National Poetry Month.
Smith, a longtime professor and celebrated poet, is currently writer-in-residence at St. Christopher’s School in Richmond. He is the author of Running Again in Hollywood Cemetery, Moon Road and Its Ghostly Workshop. He will speak and read from his poetry on April 14 at 7 p.m. in the Greenwood Library atrium. The event is free and open to the public.
I’m excited to bring Ron Smith, poet laureate of the Commonwealth, to speak at Longwood during National Poetry Month, said Suzy Szasz Palmer, dean of Greenwood Library. Virginia is rich in its history but also in its depth of literary writers. Fiction and nonfiction typically garner more public attention, but it’s vitally important to celebrate the role of poetry in our culture. Virginia’s poet laureates serve for two-year terms, and Mr. Smith is the third poet laureate we’ve hosted since I came to Longwood in July 2011, thanks to the Friends of the Greenwood Library.
Many of Smith’s poems center on his time in college at the University of Richmond, where he played football on the Tangerine Bowl championship team. He also holds a master’s degree from VCU
Cliff Norman and Ron Moen of Associates in Process Improvement (API) – The PDSA Cycle “Business Is More Exacting Than Science”
No full textCliff Norman and Ron Moen, of Associates in Process Improvement (API) discuss the history of the Plan Do Study Act (PDSA Cycle) and their research on the subject.
Cliff and Ron start with how the underpinning of Deming\u27s philosophy was the idea of continuous improvement , with the PDSA Cycle underlying that philosophy. They discuss the PDSA Cycle of never-ending improvement and learning, and how the iterative nature of the cycle fits with The Deming System of Profound Knowledge®. As Ron shares, Dr. Deming believed that business is more exacting than science as businesses must continually learn and improve to survive.
Next Cliff and Ron delve into why they wrote a paper on the PDSA Cycle. Ron explains that the quality movement in America began after the NBC White Paper, If Japan Can..Why Can\u27t We? aired in 1980. This raised interest in the Japan and the Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) cycle, which originated there. Although Dr. Deming never spoke of PDCA, it was connected to him in the early 80\u27s. That incorrect attribution was the inspiration behind the paper.
Cliff and Ron discuss the evolution of the PDSA Cycle, starting hundreds of years ago with the theories of Galileo and Aristotle. Listen as they take you through the progression, from the Shewhart Cycle, through the Deming Wheel and ultimately the PDSA Cycle as we know it today.https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/deming_podcast/1030/thumbnail.jp

Evaluation of overexpression of the receptor tyrosine kinase RON in papillary thyroid carcinoma
No full textExpressões alteradas dos receptores da tirosina quinase têm sido observadas em amostras de câncer, estando relacionadas com vários comportamentos malignos. Alterações do receptor da tirosina quinase-RON possuem um papel na regulação do comportamento malígno do câncer de tireóide. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a hiperexpressão do marcador RON em amostras de carcinoma papilífero da tireóide, correlacionando-a com achados clínico-patológicos. Dezenove amostras foram estudadas, onde houve a hiperexpressão em 31% dos casos, sendo que 100% apresentaram expressão. Hiperexpressão apresentou correlação com o comprometimento capsular (p=0,003) e com a extensão extra tireoidiana (p=0,017). Esses achados corroboram que a hiperexpressão do RON ocorre em tumores com comportamento mais agressivos. Maiores conhecimentos do comportamento do RON em câncer de tireóide poderão ser importantes à utilização de drogas de terapias alvos contra o câncer de tireóide.Altered expressions of receptor tyrosine kinase have been observed in cancer samples, being related to several malignant behavior. Changes of receptor tyrosine kinase RON have a role in regulating the malignant behavior of thyroid cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the marker RON overexpression in samples of papillary thyroid carcinoma, its correlation with clinicopathological features. Nineteen samples were studied, where there was a overexpression in 31% of cases, while 100% showed expression. Overexpression correlated with capsular involvement (p=0.003) and with the extra-thyroid extension (p=0.017). These findings confirm that the overexpression of RON occurs in tumors with more aggressive behavior. Greater knowledge of the behavior of RON in thyroid cancer may be important to use drug therapy targets thyroid cancer.Expressões alteradas dos receptores da tirosina quinase têm sido observadas em amostras de câncer, estando relacionadas com vários comportamentos malignos.
