Reconhecimento de cores de objetos e de alimentos de cromaticidades opostas por pintos de corte

The aim of this research was to evaluate, by preference tests, the ability of perception of broiler chicks in the recognition of objects and foods of different colors. The survey was conducted in Brazil and consisted in the conditioning of 60 sexed one-day-old chicks using 30 male chicks and 30 female chicks for three days with blue balls and red food colors chosen for having opposed chromaticities. After the conditioning phase, a preference test was performed, in which the animals were placed individually in the center of an arena test with four options: red food, blue food, red balls and blue balls. Each bird was measured for 10 minutes. Latency to the first peck and the number of pecks, the number of sequential pecks at each object type or food, the total time the bird in each occupied compartment and the first occupied slot were recorded. According to the results, female chicks are less inhibited when in contact with a new situation when compared with males. However, males were able to establish a standard environment in the conditioning phase and opted for the compartment which was closer to that situation, associating the blue color to the ball and red color to the food. Overall, among the types of object colors and between types of food colors, the birds took less time for the decision on the choice of blue food and blue ball, showing a greater attraction, at first, to this color. Between the two ball colors, shorter latency period, greater number of interactions as well as more time spent on site were related to the blue sphere, verifying greater preference for this object. When evaluating the types of food colors, it was observed that the highest averages related to the number of pecks, and sequential pecks occurred with red food. Therefore, it is concluded that the birds recognized the red and blue food object, with the blue color having greater attractiveness for broiler chicks when compared to red.

Care to terminal patients. Perception of nurses from the intensive care unit of a hospital

Objective. To identify the perception of nurses with regard to the process of providing care to patients in the context of hospice care. Method. Qualitative study using the methodological framework Collective Subject Discourse. A total of 18 nursing professionals of the adult intensive care unit of a public hospital in São Paulo, Brazil were interviewed between June and August 2012. Results. The process of providing care to terminal patients is permeated by negative, conflictive and mixed feelings. As regards communication, while the participants acknowledge its importance as a therapeutic resource, they also admit a lack of professional qualification. Conclusion. The interviewees have difficulties to deal with care provided to terminal patients. The qualification of these professionals needs to be improved, starting in the undergraduate program.

Reconhecimento da perda de eficácia de protetor intra-auricular

Among the harmful health agents, it is given to the noise, one of the most present in urban and social environments. There are efficient measures to control the noise and the auricular Individual Protection Equipment (IPEa) is the most used. It has been observed the shortage in the comfortable and functional individual auditory protection products, related to durability, face to the efficiency right of the equipment. The main objective of this study was to recognize if there is effectiveness loss toward the used time on the Auditory Equipment, intra-auricular Individual Protection, of foam (3M), model 1110. It has been verified that the equipments suffer efficiency alteration according to the time of use, and the material consuming initiates reliable loss, mainly in audible frequencies going up to 100Hz, and from 16 days for sonorous pressure suffered started in 101dB 20Hz. For sonorous pressure suffered from 107dB to 20Hz, the reliable loss for the usage was of 8 days. The IPEas do not lose effectiveness on important attenuation by the daily use in frequencies from 1KHz until 20KHz. It has been concluded that there is effectiveness loss, according to the daily and frequent use of the IPEa studied.

Reconhecimento de faces sob diferentes condições de iluminação utilizando PCA e a transformada census

Os seres humanos identificam naturalmente outros seres humanos utilizando suas características físicas, fisiológicas ou comportamentais. Dentre essas características, destacam-se os traços faciais. O avanço tecnológico na área de Biometria tem promovido o desenvolvimento de inúmeras técnicas para o reconhecimento automático de faces por meio de computadores, entretanto, existem ainda vários fatores que dificultam esta aplicação, como por exemplo, a variação das condições de iluminação. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos da aplicação de um filtro de processamento de imagens, denominado Transformada Census, em uma base de dados com imagens da face em diferentes condições de iluminação. Assim, experimentos foram realizados utilizando a técnica PCA com imagens da base de dados AR antes e depois da aplicação da Transformada Census. Os resultados desses experimentos mostraram que a aplicação da Transformada Census melhorou o resultado do reconhecimento das faces, reduzindo a taxa de erro.

A constituição de uma questão sociocientífica em um grupo de professores: um processo polifônico de desvelamento da realidade concreta

This article presents part of a broader research and seeks to elucidate the process of setting up a Socio-scientific Issue in a group of teachers at a public school. Assuming that a Socioscientific Issue must aggregate those involved in the educational process in situations of dialogue, argumentation and construction of a positioning, we understand that the recognition of the controversy or of the legitimacy of the theme in the context at stake is crucial to achieving the desired goals. Thus, starting from subsidies from the Critical Theory of Society, we characterize the process of setting up a Socio-scientific Issue among teachers as an exercise of unveiling the concrete reality, listing problematic, controversial and open to criticism aspects of Science and Technology. Thus, the Socio-scientific Issue is listed out in the group as soon as it is established a polyphonic dialogue where all participants stand, recognize the fertility of the themefor the intendededucational context and can speak of it with propriety.

Reconhecimento de fragmentos de impressões digitais utilizando características estendidas

Com a evolução dos sensores de captura de impressões digitais e a crescente demanda por sistemas mais seguros, torna-se possível e necessário o uso de um conjunto adicional de características, tais como as cristas e os poros. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de dois dos principais métodos de extração automática de poros, bem como o desempenho das características estendidas em situações onde apenas fragmentos das impressões digitais estão disponíveis. Resultados experimentais realizados sobre a base de dados pública PolyU HRF mostram a superioridade do método de extração de poros baseado em filtros adaptativos, em relação ao baseado em filtros isotrópicos. O reconhecimento de frag-mentos de impressões digitais utilizando características estendidas mostrou-se promissor, principalmente quando a informação das comparações de cristas é utilizada na comparação dos poros.

Parque dos Macacos: em busca de reconhecimento e urbanidade

This paper aims to discuss the current issues involving urban water courses and, subsequently through the design of an urban park qualify the Permanent Preservation Area of the Córrego dos Macacos, locate in the city of São José do Rio Preto - São Paulo, seeking the population recognition on this living hydric resource and therefore achieve urbanity. For that purpose, we studied the urbanistic planning of the city of São José do Rio Preto regarding the proposed theme and the area of the Córrego dos Macacos valley, one of the segments of the Parque Setorial, in two previous moments as well as some key concepts, starting from a methodology of bibliographic studies analysis. After this analysis, it were determined some general guidelines for the entire extension of the stream, and finally it was chosen a specific segment to formulate proposals for a planned and design space according to the characteristics of the place
