A alegria do corpo-espírito saudável : ritos de aprendizagem guarani

A dança Guarani é parte de um contexto ritualístico e mitológico desta cultura, que se refaz continuamente no cotidiano de sua educação. A compreensão da dança como conhecimento foi se dando na vivência etnográfica e fenomenológica, em cinco aldeias, quatro delas situadas no Rio Grande do Sul, nas seguintes localidades Lomba do Pinheiro, na aldeia Anhentenguá; Canta Galo na aldeia Jataity; Riozinho na aldeia Nhumporã; Camaquã na aldeia Iguaporã e numa aldeia de Santa Catarina, denominada de M´biguaçu. A dança como parte de um rito atualiza o pertencimento emocional e cultural, possibilitando a passagem da esperança em ação. Os princípios da dança Guarani estão situados dentro de uma educação xamânica, na qual corpo e espírito são fontes de aprendizado sensível, sensorial e reflexivo para um estar saudável. A alegria é uma condição cultivada no desvelar do conhecimento, que com o passar do tempo torna-se sabedoria – arandu - aprendizado que se revela ao longo da vida. A face cotidiana da educação das crianças expressa um tipo de aprendizagem vivencial na qual são valorizados o movimento vital e criativo, o contato corporal e a afetividade. Saúde, corporeidade, espiritualidade e sentimento são categorias entrelaçadas aos sentidos da dança na aprendizagem Guarani e revelam a produção cultural de um sistema de educação que tem a vida como um valor a ser cuidado. Denomino de ritos tanto os espaços da dança, quanto as relações entre mães e filhos. Estes ritos são fontes de aprendizados que revelam uma gestualidade emocionada dentro de uma corporeidade vivida e acontecem num equilíbrio e desequilíbrio dentro de uma dinâmica cultural que está em movimento, expressa principalmente nos conflitos dos jovens, nas saídas e nos retornos às suas aldeias e nos diversos sentimentos que possuem em relação à existência Guarani. A dança-rito é um espaço que muitos Guaranis buscam como um encontro com a força e a clareza para lidar com as ambigüidades presentes. Num pulsar entre a criação e a permanência da cultura, a dança é resistência e caminho de re-significação da identidade Guarani que acontece dentro de um campo de ação coletiva que abarca a ordem e desordem em sua própria mitologia.

A dimension formula for reduced plethysms

The boson calculus formalism is used to construct realizations of basis states of irreducible representations of unitary groups taking as a paradigm the interacting boson models of atomic nuclei. These realizations, together with a theorem on plethysms for obtaining branching rules, allowed us to obtain a dimension formula for reduced plethysms. © 2005 IOP Publishing Ltd.

A rank aggregation framework for video multimodal geocoding

This paper proposes a rank aggregation framework for video multimodal geocoding. Textual and visual descriptions associated with videos are used to define ranked lists. These ranked lists are later combined, and the resulting ranked list is used to define appropriate locations for videos. An architecture that implements the proposed framework is designed. In this architecture, there are specific modules for each modality (e.g, textual and visual) that can be developed and evolved independently. Another component is a data fusion module responsible for combining seamlessly the ranked lists defined for each modality. We have validated the proposed framework in the context of the MediaEval 2012 Placing Task, whose objective is to automatically assign geographical coordinates to videos. Obtained results show how our multimodal approach improves the geocoding results when compared to methods that rely on a single modality (either textual or visual descriptors). We also show that the proposed multimodal approach yields comparable results to the best submissions to the Placing Task in 2012 using no extra information besides the available development/training data. Another contribution of this work is related to the proposal of a new effectiveness evaluation measure. The proposed measure is based on distance scores that summarize how effective a designed/tested approach is, considering its overall result for a test dataset. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Discrimination of media moments and media intervals: sticker-based watch-and-comment annotation

In this paper we discuss the problem of how to discriminate moments of interest on videos or live broadcast shows. The primary contribution is a system which allows users to personalize their programs with previously created media stickers-pieces of content that may be temporarily attached to the original video. We present the system's architecture and implementation, which offer users operators to transparently annotate videos while watching them. We offered a soccer fan the opportunity to add stickers to the video while watching a live match: the user reported both enjoying and being comfortable using the stickers during the match-relevant results even though the experience was not fully representative.

Inspiratory Muscle Training Reduces Sympathetic Nervous Activity and Improves Inspiratory Muscle Weakness and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure A CLINICAL TRIAL

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on cardiac autonomic modulation and on peripheral nerve sympathetic activity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Functional capacity, low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components of heart rate variability, muscle sympathetic nerve activity inferred by microneurography, and quality of life were determined in 27 patients with CHF who had been sequentially allocated to 1 of 2 groups: (1) control group (with no intervention) and (2) IMT group. Inspiratory muscle training consisted of respiratory exercises, with inspiratory threshold loading of seven 30-minute sessions per week for a period of 12 weeks, with a monthly increase of 30% in maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) at rest. Multivariate analysis was applied to detect differences between baseline and followup period. RESULTS: Inspiratory muscle training significantly increased PImax (59.2 +/- 4.9 vs 87.5 +/- 6.5 cmH(2)O, P = .001) and peak oxygen uptake (14.4 +/- 0.7 vs 18.9 +/- 0.8 mL.kg(-1).min(-1), P = .002); decreased the peak ventilation (V. E) +/- carbon dioxide production (V-CO2) ratio (35.8 +/- 0.8 vs 32.5 +/- 0.4, P = .001) and the (V) over dotE +/-(V) over dotCO(2) slope (37.3 +/- 1.1 vs 31.3 +/- 1.1, P = .004); increased the HF component (49.3 +/- 4.1 vs 58.4 +/- 4.2 normalized units, P = .004) and decreased the LF component (50.7 +/- 4.1 vs 41.6 +/- 4.2 normalized units, P = .001) of heart rate variability; decreased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (37.1 +/- 3 vs 29.5 +/- 2.3 bursts per minute, P = .001); and improved quality of life. No significant changes were observed in the control group. CONCLUSION: Home-based IMT represents an important strategy to improve cardiac and peripheral autonomic controls, functional capacity, and quality of life in patients with CHF.

A multimedia system to produce and deliver video fragments on demand on parliamentary websites

[EN]Parliamentary websites have become one of the most important windows for citizens and media to follow the activities of their legislatures and to hold parliaments to account. Therefore, most parliamentary institutions aim to provide new multimedia solutions capable of displaying video fragments on demand on plenary activities. This paper presents a multimedia system for parliamentary institutions to produce video fragments on demand through a website with linked information and public feedback that helps to explain the content shown in these fragments. A prototype implementation has been developed for the Canary Islands Parliament (Spain) and shows how traditional parliamentary streaming systems can be enhanced by the use of semantics and computer vision for video analytics...

A Comparison of Psychosocial Risk Factors Between 3 Groups of Cardiovascular Disease Patients Referred for Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation

Few studies have examined psychosocial risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) between diagnostic groups of CVD patients. We compared levels of depression, anxiety, hostility, exhaustion, positive affect, and social support, and the prevalence of type D personality between patient groups with a primary diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD), chronic heart failure (CHF), or peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
