Os herdeiros de Ananse: movimento negro, ações afirmativas, cotas para negros na universidade

Ananse, a metamorfose em aranha da deusa Aranã, procedente da cultura fanthi-ashanti, da região do Benin na África ocidental, configura-se, neste trabalho na metáfora símbolo das ações de resistência empreendidas pelos africanos seus descendentes no continente americano, particularmente no, Brasil. Dessa maneira, apresenta um relato etnográfico da saga dos herdeiros da deusa Aranã em luta contra o racismo. A estrutura desta narrativa é a de um Auto Teatral em que o personagem antagonista é o Racismo e o protagonista são os herdeiros de Ananse. A composição dessa narrativa parte da premissa de que as diversas culturas trazidas pelo protagonista exerceram importância fundamental, para alimentar a luta dos africanos e seus herdeiros, frente à astúcia de um antagonista capaz de se travestir, no tempo e no espaço, de várias personas (máscaras) para desorientar e enfraquecer os discursos do protagonista. Entretanto, o protagonista também é astucioso na elaboração de suas teias. No tecido desta narrativa recupero as teias elaboradas por este personagem para inserir na agenda do estado brasileiro o reconhecimento da existência do racismo e da discriminação racial, na sociedade. e as políticas públicas de ação afirmativa, em especial, o emprego do sistema de cotas para negros na universidade. O embate é uma narrativa com características épicas que privilegia o papel do fio/ação movimento negro.

Conflito, resistência e philía no Héracles furioso de Eurípides

In Heracles Mainomenos, by Euripides, the hero is submited to the ultimate test: win himself, accepting stay alive after committing an irremediable error. The dramatic action has dual motivation, human and divine. The human conflict requires resilience of families and friends of Heracles and the opposition of Lico is a key element to the action. In the subsequent clash between Heracles and the goddess Hera, victory lies with the deity, motivating the disaster, but confirms the heroics of Heracles, that resists the urge to annihilation after the murder of children. His friend, King Theseus, provides him the support needed to dissuade him from his purpose of annihilation and strengthens him for endurance. The valuation of philia is an important element in shaping the sense of this euripidean text.

Concordância espaço-temporal e intensidade de competição em grupos de baleia jubarte: evidências de uma série temporal de 10 anos

The theory of sexual selection states that individuals more capable of attracting, selecting and competing for partners are more successful on reproduction than the less fit individuals. Competition for sexual partners can be observed in different populations of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). These large cetaceans migrate seasonally from feeding areas, in high latitudes, to breeding areas, in low latitudes, where they spend the winter. During the breeding season females with and without calves are escorted by transient competitive groups of males. Seeking reproductive success in the same group, various males exhibit aggressive behaviors searching for proximity to the disputed female. Breeding areas are usually located in warm and shallow waters that provide greater security to newborn calves. The Abrolhos Bank, in the Bahia State, is the main breeding area of the species in Brazil. In this study, we used data collected in this region between 2003 and 2012. We tested the hypothesis that there is temporal fluctuation in the abundance of competitive groups and, thus, there is variation in the levels of competition among males during the breeding season. We expected to find higher competition at the beginning of the season since there are a large number of males competing for a small number of females available for mating, because some of them would still be pregnant with calves conceived on the previous year. As the pregnant females give birth to their calves and can again get into heat, the competition among males would be softened, represented by a smaller number of individuals in competitive groups and a larger number of groups sighted. To test this hypothesis we compared the number of individuals per group and number of groups sighted (response variables) between the beginning and the end of the reproductive season (explanatory variable) by using generalized linear models. We used the Living Planet Index (LPI),...

Designing Software Product Lines for Testability

Software product line (SPL) engineering offers several advantages in the development of families of software products such as reduced costs, high quality and a short time to market. A software product line is a set of software intensive systems, each of which shares a common core set of functionalities, but also differs from the other products through customization tailored to fit the needs of individual groups of customers. The differences between products within the family are well-understood and organized into a feature model that represents the variability of the SPL. Products can then be built by generating and composing features described in the feature model. Testing of software product lines has become a bottleneck in the SPL development lifecycle, since many of the techniques used in their testing have been borrowed from traditional software testing and do not directly take advantage of the similarities between products. This limits the overall gains that can be achieved in SPL engineering. Recent work proposed by both industry and the research community for improving SPL testing has begun to consider this problem, but there is still a need for better testing techniques that are tailored to SPL development. In this thesis, I make two primary contributions to software product line testing. First I propose a new definition for testability of SPLs that is based on the ability to re-use test cases between products without a loss of fault detection effectiveness. I build on this idea to identify elements of the feature model that contribute positively and/or negatively towards SPL testability. Second, I provide a graph based testing approach called the FIG Basis Path method that selects products and features for testing based on a feature dependency graph. This method should increase our ability to re-use results of test cases across successive products in the family and reduce testing effort. I report the results of a case study involving several non-trivial SPLs and show that for these objects, the FIG Basis Path method is as effective as testing all products, but requires us to test no more than 24% of the products in the SPL.
