O olho no infinito ou o infinito no olho? pensando matemática por meio de pinturas de Victor Meirelles
Get PDFTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas, Curso de Matemática.Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre como relacionar pensamento matemático por meio de imagens de pinturas artísticas. Considera-se, em particular, a noção de infinito para compreender como práticas de olhar ao infinito e de representá-lo foram instituídas no âmbito da cultura, transformando-se em um modelo representativo tanto na Arte, quanto na Matemática. Estudam-se modos de representar o infinito no espaço pictórico, imbricados em conceitos sobre o mesmo. Dando-se ênfase à perspectiva central criada no Renascimento. A fim de se praticar formas de olhar ao infinito, destacando o pensamento matemático, apresenta-se uma análise em duas obras do artista catarinense Victor Meirelles. Com isto, conclui-se que imagens da arte podem proporcionar exercícios da atividade matemática
Nelson Rodrigues : a mulher em tres planos
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoO presente trabalho propõe uma re-leitura da obra teatral de Nelson Rodrigues, enfocando a "mulher" como elemento-chave de suas peças. A notória relevância atribuída pelo autor às personagens femininas, fazendo-as protagonistas da maioria de suas peças. Trata-se de uma visão nova (para a época) da sensibilidade feminina, num tratamento diferenciado da mulher, com suas mazelas e frustrações. A mulher tripartida interiormente, oscilando entre os planos da realidade, memória e alucinação, de acordo com os caminhos e descaminhos do desejo, à mercê das pressões sociais e familiares - é a representante do universo feminino da dramaturgia rodriguiana. Foram destacadas três personagens para um estudo mais detalhado. Das estruturas e linguagem da obra do autor foram extraídas as bases constitutivas dessas personagens. Três momentos distintos na criação do teatro do autor; três atos em cada uma das peças (a exceção de uma); três planos no palco de vestido de noiva e na divisão interna da complexa alma feminina. Uma proposta dramatúrgica voltada para os motivos intrínsecos da existência, como o amor, a morte, o desejo, o ódio e todas as situações limítrofes

A Norwegian grey zone: Knut Rød, Victor Lind and 'The crucial year, 1942'
No full textThis article uses Primo Levi’s concept of “the grey zone” to explore Knut Rød’s involvement in the transfer of 532 Norwegian Jews from Oslo to Auschwitz in 1942. Rød, the police chief in charge of the operation, was subsequently exonerated of any crime on the grounds that he had simultaneously used his position to help members of Milorg – the Norwegian Resistance. The legal and moral basis of this verdict has been questioned by the artist Victor Lind in a series of artworks, including his “countermonument” The Perpetrator (2005)
An Introductory Approach to Risk Visualization as a Service
Get PDFThis paper introduces the Risk Visualization as a Service (RVaaS) and presents the motivation, rationale, methodology, Cloud APIs used, operations and examples of using RVaaS. Risks can be calculated within seconds and presented in the form of Visualization to ensure that unexploited areas are ex-posed. RVaaS operates in two phases. The first phase includes the risk modeling in Black Scholes Model (BSM), creating 3D Visualization and Analysis. The second phase consists of calculating key derivatives such as Delta and Theta for financial modeling. Risks presented in visualization allow the potential investors and stakeholders to keep track of the status of risk with regard to time, prices and volatility. Our approach can improve accuracy and performance. Results in experiments show that RVaaS can perform up to 500,000 simulations and complete all simulations within 24 seconds for time steps of up to 50. We also introduce financial stock market analysis (FSMA) that can fully blend with RVaaS and demonstrate two examples that can help investors make better decision based on the pricing and market volatility information. RVaaS provides a structured way to deploy low cost, high quality risk assessment and support real-time calculations
Necrológio de Victor Giudice: artimanhas ficcionais em tempos ditatoriais
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.A presente tese tem como objetivo abordar as narrativas de Necrológio, obra inaugural de Victor Giudice, publicada em 1972, em sua relação com o período ditatorial brasileiro. Assim como outros artistas do contexto, o escritor se utiliza de estratégias para driblar a censura da ditadura militar. Com Necrológio, Giudice assume o papel de artífice de sua própria época através da carnavalização da temática da morte, uma protagonista da qual seus personagens se tornam simulacros. Através do fantástico e da metamorfose, o autor expõe personagens que são inquilinos de um universo desumanizado.The present thesis aims to approach Necrológio, Victor Giudice's inaugural book published in 1972, in its relations to Brazilian dictatorship. Victor Giudice, as many other artists in that context, uses strategies to trick censorship in the dictatorial period. With Necrológio, Giudice takes the role of artificer of his own time through the carnavalization of the thematic of death, the main protagonist of his book to which his characters function as simulacra. Through the fantastic and the matamorphosis, the author exposes characters that inhabit a deshumanized universe

Guriurius minuano Marta, Bustamante, Ruiz & Rodrigues, sp. nov. Etymology. The name is a combination of “Guri”, which means “boy” in the gaúcho (southern Brazil) culture, and Hurius, type genus of the tribe. Masculine in gender. Diagnosis. Guriurius is the only huriine genus in the tribe that has the RvTA with a fold ventrally and serrulate distal edge (like denticles; Figs 5–8, 21–22, 25–26, 31–34, 59 – 60), and females with a sclerotized dorsal plate that covers part of the copulatory ducts (Figs 13–14, 23–24). Males of Guriurius resemble those of Atelurius, Scoturius and Urupuyu by the general shape of the cymbium, the circular tegulum, and the dorso-prolateral embolar path around the tegulum (Figs 5, 21, 25, 31). In addition, males resemble those of Simonurius by having a long and sinuous RTA and by the RvTA not exceeding the ventral region of the tegulum (Figs 59–60). Males of Guriurius differ from these genera by the shape of RvTA (see above). Females of Guriurius resemble those of Atelurius and Scoturius in the large copulatory openings forming an atrium (Figs 13, 23, 47, 68), but differ from those by the spermathecae arranged in the anterior region of the atrium (Figs 13–14). Finally, females of Guriurius differ from those of Hurius, Scoturius and Urupuyu by the presence of large and tubular LPO (Figs 14, 24). Description. Length 3.0–4.0, yellow-brown salticids (Figs 1–4, 9–12, 15–20, 27–30). Carapace reddish-brown, granulated cephalic region (Fig. 69) lighter with white setae on sides, dark thoracic region and reddish posterior slope (Figs 1, 9, 19–20, 27). Anterior half of thoracic region at the same level of cephalic region; posterior thoracic slope abrupt. Eyes surrounded by black spots and white scales. Chelicera small and vertical in both sexes (not dimorphic), promargin with four fused teeth (distal one reduced), and retromargin with one tooth. Legs yellow to dark yellow with brown spots on distal portion. Leg formula: 1423. Tarsal claws small, not surpassing subungueal sulci. Inferior teeth of tarsal claws of equal size in males, and the distal one larger in females. Claw tufts poorly developed. Male palp: femur macrosetae 1d. RTA without lobes, sclerotized and sinuous (Figs 5, 8, 22, 26, 31, 34). RvTA projected ventrally below the tegulum, with denticles (See arrow in Fig. 60) and a fold (angular or circular shape (See arrow in the Figs 5, 21, 25, 31). Cymbium suboval (Figs 6, 32), with a tuft of setae at the apex (Fig. 32). Circular tegulum, oblique in relation to the cymbium middle line (axis). Embolus fixed to the tegulum, ribbonlike; embolar base dorso-prolateral, embolar path around the tegulum (Figs 5, 7, 21, 25, 31). Male with epiandrous fusules (examined only in G. minuano; Fig. 70). Epigyne: the epigynal plate is bilobed on posterior border, wider than long, with LPO (Figs 14, 24). Copulatory openings C-shaped, forming an atrium in the medial region of the epigyne (Figs 13, 23). In dorsal view, a chitinized plate covers half of the copulatory ducts (See arrow in the Figs 14, 24). Copulatory ducts arranged in parallel and close to each other in the medial region, can be visualized in ventral view, through the atrium, and above the atrium (Figs 13, 23). The CD overlapping the spermathecae (Fig. 24). Spermathecae kidney-shaped with the base of fertilization duct placed above spermathecae at anterior region of epigynum (Fig. 24). Abdomen: dorsum yellow with brown chevrons (see arrow in the Figs 1, 9, 27); venter with a median longitudinal brown stripe of irregular contours; sides with brown longitudinal band (Figs 3, 11, 29). Spinnerets (Figs 71–76; examined only in G. minuano, male): PLS with about 11–12 aciniform spigots and some tartipores (Figs 71–72); PMS with a single minor ampullate spigot (mAP) and three or four aciniform (ac) spigots (Figs 73–74); ALS with one major ampullate spigot (MAP) and one reduced nubbin (n), surrounded by about 10–12 piriform (pi) spigots and some tartipores (ta) (Figs 75–76). Coloration of spinnerets as in legs. Distribution. Brazil [São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul], Uruguay [Montevideo and Rivera] and Argentina [Buenos Aires] (Figs 77–78). Natural history. Species were collected in arboreal and shrub microhabitats. Composition. Two species: Guriurius minuano Marta, Bustamante, Ruiz & Rodrigues sp. nov.

Taxes and Labor Supply: Portugal, Europe, and the United States
Get PDFI relate hours worked with taxes on consumption and labor for Portugal, France, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. From 1986 to 2001, hours per worker in Portugal decreased from 35.1 to 32.6. With the parameters for Portugal, the model predicts hours worked in 2001 with an error of only 12 minutes from the actual hours. Across countries, most predictions differ from the data by one hour or less. The model is not sensible to special assumptions on the parameters. I calculate the long run effects of taxes on consumption, hours, capital and welfare for Portugal. I extend the model to discuss implications for Social Security. I discuss the steady state and the transition from a pay-as-yougo to a fully funded system. JEL codes:E6, H3labor supply, consumption tax, labor income tax
