Entre Charges e Cartuns: uma entrevista com João Spacca
No full textAs well as historians, in the construction of the historical narrative from the investigation of sources, cartoonists favor different aspects of the same object. João Spacca de Oliveira, who signed his cartoons as Spacca, was born in 1964, in São Paulo. He began his career as an illustrator at the age of 15. He concluded drawing and communication studies at FAAP in 1983 and debuted as a cartoonist at O Pasquim in 1985. In the same year, he won a contest for new talents at Folha de São Paulo, for which he began to draw political cartoons until 1995, having made Sarney cartoons à la Fernando Henrique Cardoso. He collaborated with comic book magazines Níquel Náusea and Front, as well as working as a book illustrator. In this interview, we talk about his training, the development of underground culture, his work as a cartoonist for Folha, among other subjects. Currently a master's student in Social History at the University of São Paulo, it wouldn't be too much to say that Spacca is also a historian.Bem como os historiadores, na construção da narrativa histórica a partir da investigação das fontes, os chargistas privilegiam aspectos diferentes de um mesmo objeto. João Spacca de Oliveira, que assinava suas charges como Spacca, nasceu em 1964, em São Paulo. Começou sua carreira como ilustrador aos 15 anos de idade. Concluiu estudos de desenho e comunicação na FAAP em 1983 e estreou como cartunista n’O Pasquim em 1985. Neste mesmo ano, ganhou um concurso para novos talentos da Folha de São Paulo, para o qual passou a desenhar as charges políticas até 1995, tendo feito charges de Sarney à Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Colaborou com as revistas de HQ 's Níquel Náusea e Front, bem como atuou como ilustrador de livros. Nesta entrevista, conversamos sobre sua formação, o desenvolvimento da cultura underground, sua atuação como chargista da Folha, dentre outros assuntos. Atualmente aluno de mestrado em História Social da Universidade de São Paulo, não seria demais dizer que Spacca é também um historiador
Promoting Industrial Cultural Heritage by Augmented Reality: Application and Assessment
Full text linkBackgrund: Recent improvements of augmented reality technologies have boosted the design and the development of new solutions to support the user when visiting cultural sites. Each kind of multimedia information can be conveyed to the user in a new and intriguing way. On the other hand, a model to evaluate this kind of AR solutions for cultural heritage still misses. Objective: This paper aims to bridge the gap between applications and assessment by proposing a multivariate evaluation model and its application for an Android mobile augmented reality application designed to support the user during the visit of the historical industrial site of Carpano in Turin, Italy. This site is now a museum that keeps alive the memory of antique procedures and industrial machineries. Method: The proposed assessment model is based on a star like representation, which is often used to denote multivariate models; the length of each ray denotes the value of the corresponding variate. A three-level scale has been chosen for the proposed star-like representation: full length corresponds to the high-maximum level, medium length corresponds to the fair-average level and short length corresponds to the poor-null level. Results: The proposed AR application has been used by 13 people who, at the end of the experience, filled a questionnaire. Subjective feedbacks allowed us to evaluate the application usability. Moreover, the multivariate evaluation model has been applied to the AR application, thus outlining advantages and drawbacks. Conclusion: The presented multivariate evaluation model considers several different elements that can have an impact on the user experience; it also takes into account the coherence of the multimedia material used to augment the visit, as well as the impact of different thematic routes, is assessed

Homicide - suicide
No full textMurder - suicide is an event where a person kills another and then suicide. Murder - suicide is more rare than other forms of violent deaths, but it is certainly mostly tragic and usually more shocking than homicide or suicide when taken individually, especially when the event involves a mass murder. This chapter will present an overview of the main types of murder-suicide, outlining the most common features of the crime and providing some guidelines on prevention. Thematic context of homicide followed by suicide, including victim - perpetrator relationship, age, sex, race, ethnicity, and occupation in addition to precipitating factors, motivation, type of fatal injury, and location of event, is discussed. For each different category of crime the incidence of the phenomenon in the Italian context is given. The Italian data were collected in a span of 24 years (from 1 January 1985 to December 31, 2008), using the information disclosed by the state press agency and the four national newspapers of greater circulation. © 2012 Bentham Science Publishers.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
ANALGESIC EFFICACY OF A LECITIN-VEHICULATED DICLOFENAC EPOLAMINE GEL IN SHOULDER PERIARTHRITIS AND LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS: A PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, MULTICENTER, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND CLINICAL TRIAL
No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
