“Le magnifiche sorti” di una nazione irresponsabile. Leopardi, Alvaro, Rea e il carattere (politico) degli italiani.
No full textIl presente articolo è incentrato sul tema del sentimento politico nella cittadinanza italiana agli
occhi di tre autori. Se nel Discorso sopra lo stato
presente dei costumi degli italiani Leopardi denuncia l’assenza di moralità pubblica correlata
anche a fattori climatico-geografici, circa un secolo dopo, in L’Italia rinunzia?, Corrado Alvaro
parla invece di pesanti responsabilità civili del
paese, frutto di determinate dinamiche storiche.
Ancora più caustico il recente pamphlet di Ermanno Rea, La fabbrica dell’obbedienza. Il lato
oscuro e complice degli italiani, nel quale forme
del potere costituito hanno radici antropologiche
ormai incistate a livello sociale, tanto da costituire una sorta di identità servile collettiva.This article deals with the theme of political
sentiment in Italian citizenship in the eyes of
three authors. If in the Discorso sopra lo stato
presente dei costumi degli italiani Leopardi
denounces the absence of public morality also
correlated to climatic-geographical factors,
about a century later, in L’Italia rinunzia?,
Corrado Alvaro instead speaks of the country's
heavy civil responsibilities, the result certain
historical dynamics. Even more caustic is
Ermanno Rea's recent pamphlet, La fabbrica
dell’obbedienza. Il lato oscuro e complice degli
italiani, in which forms of established power
have anthropological roots now encysted at a
social level, so much so as to constitute a sort of
collective obsequious identity
Representing Roomates' Preferences with Symmetric Utilities
No full textIn the context of the stable roommates problem, it is shown that acyclicity of preferences is equivalent to the existence of symmetric utility functions, i.e. the utility of agent i when matched with j is the same as j 's utility when matched with i .

No full textOrientador: Acir RachidCo-orientador: Alvaro Rea NetoDissertação(mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Parana, Setor de Ciencias da SaudeResumo: Este trabalho visa a elaboração de propostas para uma melhor organização do ensino de Medicina Interna a nível ambulatorial. Para tanto, foi aplicado um questionário para os residentes de primeiro e segundo ano do Departamento de Clínica Médica, para a análise da percepção dos mesmos em relação ao ensino ambulatorial. Estes resultados foram analisados e comparados com a literatura. A seguir, foram elaboradas propostas em relação ao conteúdo e a estruturação do ensino ambulatorial, a princípios do ensino de adultos, a técnicas de ensino ambulatorial e de avaliação, à resolução de situações especiais e às características do supervisor. Espera-se que estas propostas auxiliem no desenvolvimento de um programa mais amplo de ensino ambulatorial de Medicina Interna, para suprir as necessidades dos médicos em treinamento.Abstract: This paper focus on the elaboration of proposals for a better organization of the ambulatorial teaching in Internal Medicine. For this, a survey was done with the first and second-year residents in Internal Medicine, to analyse their perception about their ambulatory learning. These results were analysed and compared with the literature. Next, proposals were elaborated, related to: the content and organization of the ambulatorial teaching, the adult's learning principles, the teaching and evaluation technics, the solving of special situations and the supervisors' charateristics. We hope that these proposals can help in the development of a broader program of ambulatorial teaching of Internal Medicine, to fulfill the needs of the doctors-on-training
From Posteriors to Priors via Cycles: An Addendum
No full textRodrigues-Neto (2009) has shown that a given specification of posteriors of different players in an incomplete-information setting is compatible with a common prior if and only if the posteriors satisfy the so-called cycle equations. This note shows that, if, for any player, any element of the partition of the this player has a nonempty intersection with any element of the partition of any other player, then it suffices to verify the cycle equations for all cycles of length 4 or less.Belief systems, consistency, common priors, cycle equations
The Visual Programming Environment ROBI for Educational Robotics
No full textThis paper presents the outcomes of a research project focused on the training of Computational Thinking, resorting to a block-based visual programming language created to program an Arduino Uno based robot. To support the design and implementation of the visual programming environment Robi, we start discussing the relevance of Educational Robotics to motivate and engage children in programming activities. Students usually face great difficulties to learn computer programming and it is nowadays accepted that young people shall be trained in Computational Thinking to acquire the skills necessary to easily solve problems within and beyond the realm of Computer Science and Engineering. The resolution of obstacles imposed by the costs and reduced availability of typical Educational Robotics kits, in combination with the benefits of existing block-based programming languages, like simplicity and intuitiveness, motivated the project here reported and analyzed. We aim at showing that Robi, a visual block-based programming language and robot programming environment, provides an easy, accessible and intuitive platform to learn how to solve problems programming a computer and support the training of Computational Thinking
Programmers' Affinity to Languages
No full textStudents face several challenges when learning computer programming languages, a central topic to acquire programming skills. While those challenges that present a predominantly technical nature have been intensely studied by researchers along the years, the ones that are concerned with qualitative, and personal aspects have not. Affinity to a programming language is one of the many personal factors that may contribute to surpass these qualitative aspects that describe the difficulties that students face. From this point-of-view, this paper presents a proposal for treating and studying programmers' affinity to programming languages as an important factor for learning computer programming. It also reports a preliminary questionnaire conducted on a master’s degree class at Universidade do Minho that showed that affinity may have a broader relation to learning computer programming than anticipated. Finally, a set of relevant questions are stated to compose a future inquiry aimed at deepening the knowledge on the affinity between programmers and languages, paving the way for following research

Nurses and Stigma at the Time of COVID-19: A Phenomenological Study
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic is putting strain on every country in the world and their health systems. Healthcare professionals struggle on the frontline and they can experience stigma, which can create difficulties in controlling epidemic diseases, influencing the mental health of healthcare professionals, caregivers, families, communities, and the provided quality of care. The aim of this study is to explore the lived experience of Italian nurses about perceived stigma during COVID-19 pandemic with the phenomenological Cohen method. The principal themes that emerged from data analysis were “stigma in the working environment” and “stigma in everyday life”. Each of these themes had subthemes: “looks like gun sights”, “avoiding closeness to others”, “nobody wants to touch you”, and “the fault of being your family members”. Public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, are stressful events for individuals and communities. Stigma can be more dangerous than the disease, and a major obstacle to appropriate medical and mental health interventions. Understanding how healthcare professionals experience stigma is essential to design and implement specific educational, psychological, and organisational programmes
Improvement methodology of vehicle suspensions through model in virtual environment multibody
No full textEntre as etapas do desenvolvimento de automóveis pode-se apontar a definição das características de suas suspensões. A fase de definição da suspensão pode ser dividida dentro do seguinte cenário: a escolha de um determinado tipo de suspensão, os pontos (geometria) e quais os valores de rigidez/amortecimento para todo o sistema irá resultar em um comportamento dinâmico desejado para o veículo, bem como a viabilidade de produção. Além disso, o entendimento da interação entre os parâmetros de suspensão, é crucial para a otimização do desempenho. Este trabalho pretende propor um método para aperfeiçoar a fase de \"tuning\" da suspensão, com foco principal no conforto. O veículo considerado é um caminhão comercial, e entre os seus parâmetros considerados estão rigidezes de molas da cabine e suspensão, amortecimento da suspensão de cabine e curvas do amortecedor da suspensão primária. O modelo virtual do veículo foi desenvolvido em ambiente ADAMS, o qual, previamente à otimização, foi validado contra dados experimentais. Métricas foram especialmente desenvolvidas levando em consideração aspectos subjetivos de conforto veicular, para dessa forma eliminar a variabilidade entre as avaliações subjetivas e análises das simulações. Os resultados mostraram expressivas melhorias no conforto e através de dados experimentais essas melhorias foram confirmadas.Among the development phases of an automotive vehicle one can point out the definition of the characteristics of its suspensions. Suspension definition phase can be understood as the following scenario: given a suspension type, which hard points (geometric) and what values of stiffness/damping for the whole system will result in a desired dynamic behavior for the vehicle as well as production feasibility. Moreover, understanding the iteration among the suspension parameters, even considering just the tuning ones, is crucial for performance optimization. This work intends to propose a method for vehicle tuning characteristics optimization, having as a target the ride comfort. The vehicle considered here is a commercial truck, and among its parameters one considers cabin and suspension springs, cabin dampers and suspension damper curves. A vehicle model was developed in ADAMS environment and prior to the optimization the vehicle was validated against experimental data. Metrics were specially developed to take into account subjective aspects of ride, and, in this way, eliminating the gap between subjective evaluations and simulations analysis. Results showed improvements in ride comfort. The resulting setup was measured and the improvements were confirmed with experimental data
