Trypanosoma cruzi is causative agent of Chagas disease, one of most neglected tropical diseases. Estimated that about 11 million people worldwide are infected by T. cruzi and about 6 to 7 million people are at risk in endemic areas. During the process of invasion of host and parasite interact enabling signal transduction and gene expression modulation in response to invasion. The diversity of activated proteins and pathways to repair the damage by disruption of the plasma membrane interest to us and thus present study developed a new form of detection and quantitation by polymerase chain reaction in real time (qPCR) of parasitic load T. cruzi and quantified transcriptional levels relative (RT-qPCR) of dysferlin, Sphingomyelin acid esferase (ASM), transcription factor EB (TFEB) Galectins 1 and 3 and Annexin A2. This study demonstrated that quantification by real time PCR using primers P21fw and P21rv was specific and sensitive for detection of T. cruzi in vivo and in vitro, as well as transcriptional levels of genes related to cytoskeletal organization and repair plasma membrane are modulated in response to damage generated by parasite.

La tesi ha come scopo principale quello di studiare la funzione di risoluzione e le distribuzioni della distanza equivalente attraverso i risultati ottenuti dal lavoro del gruppo n_TOF al CERN di Ginevra. n_TOF utilizza un fascio di protoni accelerato dal ProtoSincrotrone (PS) del CERN per crearne due di neutroni (uno verticale e uno orizzontale) tramite spallazione. Dopo aver spiegato la tecnica del tempo di volo (TOF) e descritto il set up sperimentale presente al CERN, si esporranno le simulazioni Monte Carlo utilizzate per simulare la produzione dei fasci di neutroni, analizzando nel dettaglio quello diretto verso la prima sala sperimentale. Nella parte finale del lavoro verranno riportati i risultati ottenuti dalle simulazioni; verrà prestata particolare attenzione al confronto tra le conclusioni ottenute da tre gruppi di lavoro differenti nonchè ad una trattazione statistica delle misure effettuate. Si mostrerà inoltre in che modo lo studio effettuato sia importante nella determinazione delle sezioni d'urto nelle reazioni indotte da neutroni.

Forecast is the basis for making strategic, tactical and operational business decisions. In financial economics, several techniques have been used to predict the behavior of assets over the past decades.Thus, there are several methods to assist in the task of time series forecasting, however, conventional modeling techniques such as statistical models and those based on theoretical mathematical models have produced unsatisfactory predictions, increasing the number of studies in more advanced methods of prediction. Among these, the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are a relatively new and promising method for predicting business that shows a technique that has caused much interest in the financial environment and has been used successfully in a wide variety of financial modeling systems applications, in many cases proving its superiority over the statistical models ARIMA-GARCH. In this context, this study aimed to examine whether the ANNs are a more appropriate method for predicting the behavior of Indices in Capital Markets than the traditional methods of time series analysis. For this purpose we developed an quantitative study, from financial economic indices, and developed two models of RNA-type feedfoward supervised learning, whose structures consisted of 20 data in the input layer, 90 neurons in one hidden layer and one given as the output layer (Ibovespa). These models used backpropagation, an input activation function based on the tangent sigmoid and a linear output function. Since the aim of analyzing the adherence of the Method of Artificial Neural Networks to carry out predictions of the Ibovespa, we chose to perform this analysis by comparing results between this and Time Series Predictive Model GARCH, developing a GARCH model (1.1).Once applied both methods (ANN and GARCH) we conducted the results' analysis by comparing the results of the forecast with the historical data and by studying the forecast errors by the MSE, RMSE, MAE, Standard Deviation, the Theil's U and forecasting encompassing tests. It was found that the models developed by means of ANNs had lower MSE, RMSE and MAE than the GARCH (1,1) model and Theil U test indicated that the three models have smaller errors than those of a naïve forecast. Although the ANN based on returns have lower precision indicator values than those of ANN based on prices, the forecast encompassing test rejected the hypothesis that this model is better than that, indicating that the ANN models have a similar level of accuracy . It was concluded that for the data series studied the ANN models show a more appropriate Ibovespa forecasting than the traditional models of time series, represented by the GARCH model

Vivemos um tempo de incerteza e instabilidade. Vivemos um tempo em que o presente se reproduz e se reinventa continuamente sem a perspectiva de um futuro certo e perdurável. A presente dissertação orienta-se em torno de um corpo de trabalho de experimentação artística que explora a relação entre arte contemporânea e fracasso. Trata-se, aqui, de reflectir sobre a natureza paradoxal do fracasso, sobre a utilidade e inutilidade do fracasso na sociedade e na artecontemporânea ocidental. Entre a intenção e a realização, entre a perspectiva de sucesso e o fracasso alcançado, abre-se um espaço gerador (potência)ocupado pela dúvida e questionamento, suporte essencial do pensamento e da acção humana. Corpo fracasso (descendente de Sísifo) dedicado a tarefas inúteis (nãoprodutivas) e repetitivas no tempo como alternativa ao corpo sucesso (base-docapitalismo), dedicado a tarefas úteis (produtivas) e repetitivas no tempo.

In the last years, heparin has become target of many studies related to inflammation due its ability of biding to proteins involved on immune response. Recently, it was demonstrated, at our laboratory, using a thIoglycollate-induced peritonitis model, heparin s capacity of reduce cellular influx into the peritoneal cavity, 3 hours after the inflammatory stimulus. Once neutrophilic infiltration is highest around 8 hours after the inflammatory stimulus, at the present work, using the same peritonitis model, it was assessed heparin s ability of keeping the interference on leukocyte infiltration, 8 hours after inflammation induction. Moreover, using cellular differential count, it was evaluated how the cellular populations involved in the inflammatory process would be affected by the treatment. Eight hours after the inflammatory stimulus, only heparin dosage of 1 μg/Kg was able to reduce the cellular influx to peritoneum, 62.8% of reduction when compared to positive control (p < 0.001). Furthermore, heparin dosage of 15 μg/Kg presented a pro-inflammatory effect in whole blood verified by the increase of 60.9% (p < 0.001) and 117.8% (p < 0.001) on neutrophils and monocytes proportion, respectively, when compared to positive control. In addition, this dosage also presented a neutrophilic proportion on peritoneal fluid 27.3% higher than positive control (p < 0.05). This duality between anti- and pro-inflammatory effects at different times corroborates studies that attribute a pleiotropic immunomodulator role to heparin.

O presente estudo pretende avaliar as lógicas de gestão do tempo no contexto da organização do trabalho dos Técnicos de Radiologia num serviço de urgência hospitalar, procurando desta forma contribuir para a elaboração de novas propostas orientadoras ou guidelines relativas aos procedimentos em Radiologia convencional na urgência hospitalar. O desenho metodológico adoptado consistiu na observação directa do processo de execução do exame radiológico convencional, em contexto de urgência e em diferentes etapas. Estes dados foram relacionados com a existência ou não dos critérios técnicos padronizados de realização do exame. A recolha dos dados efectiva decorreu entre 4 e 11 maio de 2008, no Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa - Zona Central, no serviço de Radiologia da Urgência. Através da análise dos dados, constatou-se que: a) o grau de mobilidade do utente não influencia de uma forma directa nem o tempo de realização do mesmo nem a qualidade da imagem final; b) a qualidade da imagem final relaciona-se de forma inversa com o tempo total do exame e com os anos de experiência do Técnico de Radiologia; c) a maior percentagem de tempo total de atendimento do utente concentra se em funções administrativas e de preparação para o exame. ABSTRACT: The current study intends to evaluate the logics of time’s management in the context of the organization of Radiographers' Professionals in a service of hospital urgency, trying to find a way how to contribute for the elaboration of new relative orienting proposals or guidelines regarding Conventional Radiology's procedures in the hospital urgency. The methodological drawing chosen was based on direct observation of the execution proceeding of the conventional radiological examination, in urgency context and in different stages. These data had been related with the existence or not of the standardized criteria technician of the examination's accomplishment. The data have been collected between 4th and 11th May of 2008 in the Hospital Centre of Lisbon - Central Zone, in the service of Urgency Radiology. Through the analysis of the data, we realize that: a) the usuary's mobility degree do not influence directly the time of execution neither the quality of the final image; b) the quality of the final image relates in an inverse way with the total time of the examination and with the Radiographers' Professional years of experience; c) the biggest percentage of total time concerning usuary's attendance focus in administrative functions and for the examination's preparation.
