Tecnologia e segregação social: impasses da educação Brasileira contemporânea

No presente manuscrito, buscamos construir uma reflexão sobre as mazelas ético-sociais, da sociedade brasileira contemporânea, segregada por casta e cada vez mais adepta do consumo e da tecnologia digital. Em detrimento ao desenvolvimento tecnológico, através de revisão literária, expomos a visão redentora da escola e atual função social da educação pública na luta pela equidade de direitos e diminuição das diferenças sociais históricas.

Urban planning tools to achieve sustainable development goal (SDG) 11: study case in Brazil

Brazilian urban policy offers the possibility of several urban planning tools, which are responsibility by local governments. Among these urban planning and tax tools is the urban property tax (IPTU). This article aims to analyze the application of urban planning tools with an environmental bias to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with emphasis on SDG 11. The 2030 Agenda has a time horizon of achievement until 2030. Few Brazilian municipalities have implemented urban planning tools with an environmental bias, which motivated our study.

State-of-the-art clinical results of growth hormone secretagogues, sarm and antagonists

Introduction: The term growth hormone secretagogues (GHS) encompasses compounds that were developed to increase growth release of growth hormone (GH). GHSs include growth hormone receptor secretagogue agonists (GHS-R), whose natural ligand is ghrelin, and growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) agonists, to which GHRH binds as a native ligand. In the context of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM), the presence of a Toll-IL-1 receptor domain (TIR) predicts a role for SARMs in innate immunity.

A method for ontology modeling based on instances conceptual classification and formalization

Building a knowledge representation depends on specific skills such as: understanding of modeled reality (it is also called Domain), knowledge of the representation language and, mainly, capacity of abstraction. The process involves such degree of complexity, demanding of the modeling agente an expertise to define axioms (roles) on the conceptual elements, determining constraints and redefining new concepts. This paper presents the proposal of a new conceptual modeling method called Mobi (Instance-based Ontology Modeling) detailing its Process, Editor, Formal Elements and Inference Engine.

Antioxidant activity of hydroalcoolic extracts of green and ripe scarlet eggplants (SOLANUM AETHIOPICUM GR. GILO)

The scarlet eggplant or ‘jiló’ fruit (Solanum aethiopicum gr. Gilo) has a characteristic pleasant bitter taste, low energy value and high content of dietary fibers. The fruits are frequently eaten green and when ripe, they are considered unsuitable for consumption and commercialization. Phytochemical studies of scarlet eggplant are rare and little is known about the polyphenols present in this fruit. The extraction procedure with an ethanol-water solution (70:30) of our samples allowed extract yields of 29% and 35% for the green and ripe fruit, respectively.
