3D Surveying and Data Management towards the Realization of a Knowledge System for Cultural Heritage

The research activities involved the application of the Geomatic techniques in the Cultural Heritage field, following the development of two themes: Firstly, the application of high precision surveying techniques for the restoration and interpretation of relevant monuments and archaeological finds. The main case regards the activities for the generation of a high-fidelity 3D model of the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna. In this work, aimed to the restoration of the manufacture, both the geometrical and radiometrical aspects were crucial. The final product was the base of a 3D information system representing a shared tool where the different figures involved in the restoration activities shared their contribution in a multidisciplinary approach. Secondly, the arrangement of 3D databases for a Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach, in a process which involves the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of historical buildings, towards a so-called Historical Building Information Model (HBIM). A first application was conducted for the San Michele in Acerboli’s church in Santarcangelo di Romagna. The survey was performed by the integration of the classical and modern Geomatic techniques and the point cloud representing the church was used for the development of a HBIM model, where the relevant information connected to the building could be stored and georeferenced. A second application regards the domus of Obellio Firmo in Pompeii, surveyed by the integration of the classical and modern Geomatic techniques. An historical analysis permitted the definitions of phases and the organization of a database of materials and constructive elements. The goal is the obtaining of a federate model able to manage the different aspects: documental, analytic and reconstructive ones.

Integrating structural variant calling, annotation and prioritization into whole genome analysis workflows: a practical application in the molecular diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders

Background: WGS is increasingly used as a first-line diagnostic test for patients with rare genetic diseases such as neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Clinical applications require a robust infrastructure to support processing, storage and analysis of WGS data. The identification and interpretation of SVs from WGS data also needs to be improved. Finally, there is a need for a prioritization system that enables downstream clinical analysis and facilitates data interpretation. Here, we present the results of a clinical application of WGS in a cohort of patients with NDD. Methods: We developed highly portable workflows for processing WGS data, including alignment, quality control, and variant calling of SNVs and SVs. A benchmark analysis of state-of-the-art SV detection tools was performed to select the most accurate combination for SV calling. A gene-based prioritization system was also implemented to support variant interpretation. Results: Using a benchmark analysis, we selected the most accurate combination of tools to improve SV detection from WGS data and build a dedicated pipeline. Our workflows were used to process WGS data from 77 NDD patient-parent families. The prioritization system supported downstream analysis and enabled molecular diagnosis in 32% of patients, 25% of which were SVs and suggested a potential diagnosis in 20% of patients, requiring further investigation to achieve diagnostic certainty. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the integration of SNVs and SVs is a main factor that increases diagnostic yield by WGS and show that the adoption of a dedicated pipeline improves the process of variant detection and interpretation.

Governamentalidade democrática e ensino de Filosofia no Brasil contemporâneo

This article takes the concepts of biopower and governmentality as the starting point for an analysis of certain recent Brazilian government documents about the introduction of Philosophy as a subject in secondary school. In the 1980s, this argument centered on Philosophy's so-called criticism and its potential for preparing citizens for a democratic society, was used by the movements aimed to restore democracy in Brazil. This argument appears to have been assimilated by the Brazilian government, because it is stated in the Guidelines and Bases of Education Law, secondary school students should demonstrate knowledge of philosophy necessary for the exercise of citizenship. The argument also appears in documents such as the PCN and PCN+ (National Curricular Parameters) and OCEM (Curriculum Guidelines for Secondary School) in their chapters on Philosophy. These documents are examined here in the light of governmentality, making explicit how Philosophy is equipped to train young people according to what is understood as a modern democratic society.

A etnoarqueologia na Amazônia: contribuições e perspectivas

Desde a década de 1970, a etnoarqueologia tem sido realizada na região amazônica com diferentes temas, problemas e objetivos. Independentemente das suas perspectivas, esses trabalhos têm contribuído para o entendimento da pré-história amazônica, ampliando as possibilidades para interpretar o registro arqueológico. Além disso, contribuem na crítica e na revisão dos paradigmas tradicionais que dominaram por muito tempo as explicações sobre os modos de vida das populações amazônicas do presente e do passado. Esse artigo apresenta um panorama desses trabalhos etnoarqueológicos, salientando sua importância para o entendimento da pré-história amazônica e para a continuidade das pesquisas arqueológicas na região.

Variância intrapessoal para ajuste da distribuição de nutrientes em estudos epidemiológicos

O objetivo do estudo foi apresentar a fração da variância intrapessoal para ajuste da distribuição de nutrientes de adultos e idosos. Utilizaram-se dados de inquérito populacional com amostra representativa (n = 511) de indivíduos com 19 anos ou mais do município de São Paulo, SP, em 2007. A fração da variância intrapessoal foi obtida pelo método proposto pela Iowa State University. Observaram-se diferenças nas frações das variâncias intrapessoais de nutrientes segundo sexo. Esses valores devem ser utilizados para ajustar a distribuição da ingestão de nutrientes, pois sua não utilização pode resultar em viés na análise e interpretação de dados.

Dez anos de parâmetros curriculares nacionais: a prática da Educação Física na visão dos seus autores

The study checked possible theory-methodologic assumptions into Physical Education PCNs by the teachers of the last years of elementary school. The analyses in the publishing allow us to identify the different didactic procedures when compared with those which set up the traditional expectations. From these elements and using the projective method, it was developed an interview with focal group. The data obtained showed us docent perceptions which rearrange the educative practice, and interpretation allows us to realize which of the teachers views approaches the propositions in the official document, even if no reference has been done to it.
