Deficiência e Direitos Humanos: muito além de uma experiência

O presente relato narra a experiência de um projeto de extensão, realizado no Curso de Psicologia de uma instituição de ensino superior, com o objetivo de ampliar a compreensão do tema da deficiência sob a perspectiva dos Direitos Humanos. Utiliza como suportes teóricos o Modelo Social da Deficiência, que introduz uma nova concepção de deficiência, e a teoria psicológica Sócio-histórica, que compreende o humano como uma construção histórica e social. Esta é uma perspectiva crítica que entende a deficiência como um conceito socialmente produzido e que fornece fundamentos conceituais para a luta pela inclusão social dos deficientes. O desenvolvimento do projeto, baseado no aprofundamento de leituras afinadas com esta diretriz e o debate com representantes e militantes dacategoria dos deficientes, convergiu para o engajamento político de seus participantes em favor do reconhecimento dos direitos dos deficientes.

Multi-objective Pareto front and particle swarm optimization algorithms for power dissipation reduction in microprocessors

The progress of microelectronics making possible higher integration densities, and a considerable development of on-board systems are currently undergoing, this growth comes up against a limiting factor of power dissipation. Higher power dissipation will cause an immediate spread of generated heat which causes thermal problems. Consequently, the system's total consumed energy will increase as the system temperature increase. 
 High temperatures in microprocessors and large thermal energy of computer systems produce huge problems of system confidence, performance, and cooling expenses. Power consumed by processors are mainly due to the increase in number of cores and the clock frequency, which is dissipated in the form of heat and causes thermal challenges for chip designers. As the microprocessor’s performance has increased remarkably in 
 Nano-meter technology, power dissipation is becoming non-negligible. To solve this problem, this article addresses power dissipation reduction issues for high performance processors using multi-objective Pareto front (PF), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms to achieve power dissipation as a prior computation that reduces the real delay of a target microprocessor unit. Simulation is verified the conceptual fundamentals and optimization of joint body and supply voltages (Vth-VDD) which showing satisfactory findings.

ФЕНОМЕН ЦИФРОВОЙ ДИПЛОМАТИИ В МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫХ ОТНОШЕНИЯХ и методология его изучения

The article discusses the digital diplomacy in terms of historical development in world politics and in terms of conceptual approaches relative to the study of the digital diplomacy. The digital diplomacy as a government mechanism to have an impact on users of social networks has been examined through two stages in its development. During the periods of 2019–2012 and 2013–2017, the digital diplomacy modified its conceptual fundamentals (notably from the concept of soft power to the concept of sharp power), revised its approaches (notably from the dissemination of a positive image of a state to the spreading of negatively toned messages about the target countries), and amended its ways so as to influence the users (notably from the establishment of a direct dialogue to the establishment of ideologically opposing publics that amplified discussions). During the period of 2018–2020, the digital diplomacy entered the third stage of the development, when AI and big data became a cohesive part of the digital diplomacy and contributed to the politics of informational deterrence. The author also examines the theories of realism and constructivism that are relevant to the study of the digital diplomacy. The cases of Syria and Venezuela demonstrate the application of the hashtag tracking, network analysis, sentiment analysis, and opinion mining in the study of digital diplomacy.

A Estratégia da Transferência na Psicanálise como Contradispositivo

Resumo A noção de dispositivo, desenvolvida na filosofia política, abrange formas estratégicas complexas que atuam no exercício do poder intervindo no processo de subjetivação. O objetivo deste estudo teórico é contribuir para a clínica dos sofrimentos psíquicos, através dos fundamentos conceituais, éticos e políticos da psicanálise, reguladores da direção do tratamento. Na discussão, consideramos o manejo da transferência como estratégia que opera no sentido oposto ao do dispositivo, como contradispositivo, chegando à conclusão de que a transferência tem relação com o poder, mas sua condução estratégica, mantendo no horizonte a falta fundamental, possibilita o surgimento de algo novo na repetição, a entrada do acaso, do real, como efeito do ato analítico no discurso.

Exploring nursing students' use of the Fundamentals of Care framework in case-based work.

To explore how nursing students perceive and use the conceptual Fundamentals of Care framework in case-based work in nursing education and furthermore to describe influencing factors on perceptions and use of the framework. The Fundamentals of Care framework has been integrated in core courses in two Schools of Nursing in Region North Denmark in response to studies reporting that nursing students and newly graduated nurses lack the knowledge, skills and competencies to meet the challenges of delivering fundamental care in clinical practice. An integration of the framework in case-based work in nursing education has not previously been studied. The study design was focused ethnography. Data were collected using participant observations, focus group interviews and individual interviews. Four groups of four to five nursing students participating in case-based work sessions and three faculty members from two Schools of Nursing were included. The study adhered to COREQ. The results show an uncertainty among the students about how to understand and use the conceptual framework in case-based work. The uncertainties derive from diversities in faculty members' perceptions and curricular planning among others. However, the framework appears to support the students' learning about what nursing is and requires. The study indicates that integrating Fundamentals of Care framework in case-based work may be one way of teaching nursing students the complexities of integrated fundamental nursing care. However, there is a need to consider how to support students in articulating Fundamentals of Care, and to draw attention to the influence of role models and curricular planning. The study provides knowledge relevant when customising future educational interventions regarding the integration of Fundamentals of Care in nursing education and may provide valuable knowledge of evaluation strategies.

Innovative Tools for Mechanobiology: Unraveling Outside-In and Inside-Out Mechanotransduction.

Cells and tissues can sense and react to the modifications of the physico-chemical properties of the extracellular environment (ECM) through integrin-based adhesion sites and adapt their physiological response in a process called mechanotransduction. Due to their critical localization at the cell-ECM interface, transmembrane integrins are mediators of bidirectional signaling, playing a key role in “outside-in” and “inside-out” signal transduction. After presenting the basic conceptual fundamentals related to cell mechanobiology, we review the current state-of-the-art technologies that facilitate the understanding of mechanotransduction signaling pathways. Finally, we highlight innovative technological developments that can help to advance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying nuclear mechanotransduction.

Integrating the fundamentals of care framework in baccalaureate nursing education: An example from a nursing school in Denmark.

To describe and discuss the process of integrating the Fundamentals of Care framework in a baccalaureate nursing education at a School of Nursing in Denmark. Nursing education plays an essential role in educating nurses to work within healthcare systems in which a demanding workload on nurses results in fundamental nursing care being left undone. Newly graduated nurses often lack knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of delivering fundamental care in clinical practice. To develop nursing students' understanding of fundamental nursing, the conceptual Fundamentals of Care framework has been integrated in nursing education at a School of Nursing in Denmark. Discursive paper using an adjusted descriptive case study design for describing and discussing the process of integrating the conceptual Fundamentals of Care Framework in nursing education. The process of integrating the Fundamentals of Care framework is illuminated through a description of the context, in which the process occurs including the faculty members, lectures, case-based work and simulation laboratory in nursing education. Based on this description, opportunities such as supporting a holistic approach to an evidence-based integrative patient care and challenges such as scepticism among the faculty are discussed. It is suggested how integration of Fundamentals of Care Framework in lectures, case-based work and simulation laboratory can make fundamental nursing care more explicit in nursing education, support critical thinking and underline the relevance of evidence-based practice. The process relies on a supportive context, a well-informed and engaged faculty, and continuous reflections on how the conceptual framework can be integrated. Integrating the Fundamentals of Care framework can support nursing students' critical thinking and reflection on what fundamental nursing care is and requires and eventually educate nurses in providing evidence-based fundamental nursing care.
