Aprendizado de máquina simbólico e técnicas fractais para caracterizar rejeição em biópsia miocárdica

This work combines symbolic machine learning and multiscale fractal techniques to generate models that characterize cellular rejection in myocardial biopsies and that can base a diagnosis support system. The models express the knowledge by the features threshold, fractal dimension, lacunarity, number of clusters, spatial percolation and percolation probability, all obtained with myocardial biopsies processing. Models were evaluated and the most significant was the one generated by the C4.5 algorithm for the features spatial percolation and number of clusters. The result is relevant and contributes to the specialized literature since it determines a standard diagnosis protocol. © 2013 Springer.

Entre o sofrimento e a esperança: A reabilitação da incontinência urinária como componente interveniente

This is a qualitative study seeking to understand Brazilian women's experience of urinary incontinence (UI) and design a representative theoretical model for the experience. Theoretical saturation occurred after analysis of the 18th non-directive interview in accordance with Grounded Theory. Two phenomena emerged: living with the challenges of UI and experiencing the hope and disappointment of rehabilitation from UI. Upon re-alignment of the components, the core category emerged, namely: between suffering and hope - rehabilitation from urinary incontinence as an intervening component. From the analysis in light of symbolic interactionism, pregnancy and vaginal birth were observed to be symbols of women's vulnerability to the suffering from living with the moral and physio-psychosocial challenges of UI. It is also inferred that the lack of consideration of the Unified Health System (SUS) in investing in the process of rehabilitation from UI may be having a negative effect on the incentive programs for promoting vaginal birth. Most of all, it reveals the ongoing suffering of women with UI, most of whom do not have access to rehabilitation due to the lack of programs geared to the real needs of these users of the Unified Health System.

Matemática como discurso

Initial steps are taken towards an interpretation of the discourse of mathematics, by showing that a mathematical model does not represent, but re-present; that it is not objective, but that it invents its objects; and that it is not descriptive, but performative. Mathematics-based discursive acts become identified, as crucial elements in an interpretation of mathematics as discourse. The discursive acts are: (1) technological imagination, (2) hypothetical reasoning, (3) legitimation or justification, (4) realisation, and (5) dissolution of responsibility. Through such acts, mathematics exercises symbolic power and makes possible new forms of symbolic violence.
