Texto completoOne of the twenty centurys first and most important theatre directors, Konstantin S. Stanislavsky is also broadly known for his studies and researches on acting. Despite fascinating audiences in Russia and in the main capitals of the world, influencing most of the western theatre, Stanislavskys stagings have not been entirely analised or discussed. The current study is a unique translation into Portuguese of Stanislavskis staging scores to the play Three sisters by A. Chekhov. In addition, it presents a new translation of the play, also directly from Russian. The meeting between K. Stanislavski and A. Chekhov was essential for the construction of an artistic identity for the Moscow Art Theatre (MAT), one of the worlds leading theatre companies. Traces of this gathering are carefully detailed on Stanislavskys staging scores. Based on Chekhovs text, the director created hundreds of notes clarifying since the intonation of characters voices and external sounds to details of sets. By analising Stanislavskys staging scores it is possible to imagine MATs production as well as comprehend the type of dialogue the director establishes with Chekhovs dramatic text.

The topic studied in this master’s thesis is the investigation about the contribution of Grupo Matrícula to consolidate a regional literary system in Serra Gaúcha. Understanding the literature like a particular system, elements of production will be analyzed, as the publication, and diffusion in relation to the group. Writers, readers, books, publishing houses, universities, libraries, bookstores, and critical analysis are part of this system. The literary landscape, where the anthology arises, will be observed, and, also, the literary configuration after that. Based on the sociology of literature, this research is firstly developed considering a literary system in its totality, and, gradually, it reduces to the regional literary system in Serra Gaúcha, and, finally, it verifies the role of the Grupo Matrícula in the consolidation of a system. The studies about cultural region, regionalities, regional literature and literary systems will be used as theoretical basis. The social and cultural factors of a region that act on the production and reception of literature, the institutions that constitute a regional literary landscape, and, also, the conditions of reading and the literary public are investigating elements of this work. They contribute to understand the literary life in Serra Gaúcha, between 1950 and 1980.

Texto completoThe present thesis points out the presence of Wilhelm Buschs picture stories (1832-1908) in the Brazilian literary system. For that matter, it analyses how the German literary system registers Buschs production and how it is constructed from two influence poles: the humorous tendency of the weekly German humor magazine Fliegende Blätter (1845-1944), from which it seems to have inherited a portion, and the critical posture related to the socio-historic context of the expressive German community in the second half of the XIX century, with which Buschs picture stories has a dialogic relationship. The study that here develops comes from the reflection about the literary text, its reading and analysis, from which it is possible to face Buschs picture stories, not as a phenomenon isolated from its context or as its reflex, but as one of the elements that both influence and are influenced within the systemic conglomerate, which is a nations cultural and literary atmosphere. With that conception in mind, this paper reveals that, despite the perpetuation of this work on the Brazilian literature horizon starting with its first translation, in 1901, Buschs image in the Brazilian literary canon, or the German literature established from Brazil, presents an asymmetry in relation to the one he has in the German cultural system. Such asymmetry comes from the reduction of the potential of meaning that Buschs picture stories bear in their versions translated into Portuguese, as a result of some of the literary agents involved in this intercultural transposition process.

Texto completoWith a view to identifying knowledge about the ageing process of the tegumental system, characterized as senescence, in spite of the occurrence of different related skin conditions, this study used the integrative method (Ganong, 1987) for reviewing literature about the tegumental system. The articles were analyzed quantitatively as well as qualitatively, on the basis of a data collection script in accordance with the following six identification criteria: author; profession and affiliation; country of origin and periodicals; characteristics of the studied sample; types of study models; research aims; knowledge about the subject under analysis. The sample consisted of fifty-seven publications, most of which were written in English. The research aims involved: levels of elastin, skin functions in elderly persons, advances in molecular genetics, accumulation of mitochondrial DNA extinction and skin ageing, levels of hyaluronic acid, cutaneous ageing and geriatric dermatoses, skin collagen and bone mass during the ageing process, and spots in people who were submitted to radiation. As skin ageing is not only associated with the chronological criterion, but also with external aspects related to the persons way of life, such as, for example, kinds of diet, exposure to the sun and emotional health, among others, it is important to get to know the intrinsic implications of the ageing process, in order to seek alternatives that minimize the impacts suffered through ageing. This study discloses intrinsic and extrinsic ageing, as well as the main epidermal and dermal modifications during ageing, pointing out the need to continue research aimed at changes in elderly persons tegumental system and, mainly, the need for national studies and experiments in this field.

Texto completoThis MA dissertation thesis consists of a critical survey of the economics of education literature concerning educational system analysis, and of a study of the performance of the Brazilian educational system, with an emphasis in equity measurement. I discuss the evolution and the current state of the debate on the following subjects: demand for education, supply of education (monetary and non-monetary inputs), educational system institutional framework, socio-economic institutional framework (in which the educational system is imbedded), and the output of the educational system. Finally, by means of a statistical analysis of an international database (PISA 2000), I present an empirical study aiming at assessing the Brazilian educational system performance, especially its degree of inequity.

A literatura transbordou o meio impresso e hoje é também praticada no meio digital. Compreender esse processo de experimentação estética, que propõe significações a partir do próprio meio digital, exige, da crítica literária, redefinições no que respeita aos padrões estéticos de literatura. Falemos então de uma poeticidade - depois veremos se tratar de uma continuação da poética - que necessita ser construída a partir do contato com o próprio meio que se almeja entender, o digital. A poeticidade e a concepção de poesia digital propostas nessa dissertação se constroem junto aos conceitos de Merleau-Ponty - fala falante, expressão e quiasma - e a alguns operadores textuais de Roland Barthes. E isso será feito a partir da leitura de um poema composto no meio digital, Palavrador, e de um romance do português Antônio Lobo Antunes, O esplendor de Portugal, ambos entrelaçados nos elementos da contemporaneidade. La littérature se déverse de l'imprimé et touche le numérique. La compréhension de ce processus d'expérimentation esthétique, qui propose des significations dérivant du numérique, voilà qui demande à la critique littéraire des redéfinitions des modèles esthétiques de la littérature. On doit parler, donc, d' une poéticité (que l'on démontrera, par la suite, qu'il s'agit d'une continuation de la poétique), poéticité qui doit être construite à partir de l'expérience directe que l'on aura du numérique. La poéticité et la conception de poésie numérique, proposées dans ce mémoire, se fondent sur quelques concetps de Merleau-Ponty - ceux de parole parlante, d'expression et de chiasme -, ainsi que sur quelques opérations textuelles proposées par Roland Barthes. Et cela sera fait à partir de la lecture d'un poème numérique, Palavrador, et d'un roman du Portugais António Lobo Antunes, O Esplendor de Portugal.

Texto completoThis dissertation is a revision of the post-1988 Brazilian presidentialism, analyzing the available literature. The surveys point to a conclusion that the Brazilian presidentialism has gained reasonable levels of institutionalization, contradicting many of the criticisms raised about the potential for institutionalization. This establishment was in large measure because the stabilization of the party system that has polarized yourself arround of the seven main parties, improving its internal functioning and the consistent performance in National Congress, thus minimizing the possible effects of high fragmentation and especially becoming able to provide effective support in the executive branch. This, in turn, has taken it upon themselves to use very effectively the powers and mechanisms to its disposal to enforce its agenda of government, becoming away from the conflict between the powers and the feared decisional paralysis, as predicted. Summarizing, despite his apparent problems in the post-1988, in the Brazilian presidentialism prevails an important democratic character that certainly keep the process of institutionalization of the country.
Essa dissertação trata-se de uma revisão do presidencialismo brasileiro pós- 1988, através da análise da literatura disponível. Os levantamentos realizados convergem para a conclusão de que o presidencialismo brasileiro tem conquistado razoáveis níveis de institucionalização, contrariando muitas das críticas levantadas contra si. Esse estabelecimento se deu em grande medida pela estabilização do sistema partidário que polarizou em torno dos sete maiores partidos, aperfeiçoou seu funcionamento interno e sua atuação coerente no Congresso, minimizando assim os possíveis efeitos da alta fragmentação, e principalmente podendo conceder um apoio efetivo ao Poder Executivo. Este, por sua vez, tem se encarregado de utilizar com muita eficiência os poderes e mecanismos de que dispõe para fazer prevalecer sua agenda de governo, distanciando os conflitos entre os poderes e a temida e profetizada paralisia decisória. Em suma, apesar de problemas aparentes, o presidencialismo brasileiro nos moldes atuais tem levado adiante o processo de institucionalização da democracia.

Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica do Rio Grande do Sul, 2010. http://tede2.pucrs.br/tede2/handle/tede/1088.
Texto completoV?rias t?cnicas e materiais t?m sido sugeridos para a preserva??o do rebordo alveolar (PRA) ap?s a extra??o dent?ria e antes da coloca??o do implante. Este estudo, o qual ? composto por dois manuscritos, buscou avaliar, atrav?s de um ensaio cl?nico randomizado, as altera??es ?sseas radiogr?ficas ap?s a PRA com dois diferentes biomateriais e, atrav?s de uma revis?o sistem?tica da literatura, as evid?ncias do efeito deste procedimento ap?s a extra??o dent?ria e se ele permite a coloca??o do implante (com ou sem enxerto adicional). No primeiro cap?tulo, a preserva??o do rebordo alveolar foi realizada em 27 pacientes divididos em 2 grupos. Um substituto ?sseo sint?tico (SOS) ou um xenoenxerto derivado de bovinos (XDB), ambos com uma membrana de col?geno como barreira (Bio-Gide?), foram utilizados nos grupos teste e controle, respectivamente. Radiografias periapicais padronizadas foram tiradas em intervalos regulares de tempo, do tempo inicial (TI) aos 8 meses (8M). Os n?veis da crista ?ssea alveolar nos aspectos mesial (Mav), distal (Dav) e central (Cav) do alv?olo foram medidas em todos os intervalos de tempo e comparados ?s medi??es intra-cir?rgicas. Todas as radiografias obtidas foram subtra?das das imagens de acompanhamento. As ?reas de ganho, de perda ou inalteradas em termos de n?veis de cinza foram testadas para diferen?a significativa entre os dois grupos. No segundo cap?tulo, ambas pesquisas eletr?nica e manual procuraram por refer?ncias que atenderam a crit?rios espec?ficos de inclus?o e exclus?o. Dois revisores realizaram uma triagem calibrada e independente, enquanto que um terceiro revisor foi consultado em caso de discord?ncias. Ensaios cl?nicos randomizados, ensaios cl?nicos controlados e estudos prospectivos com um m?nimo de cinco pacientes e a cicatriza??o natural do alv?olo como controle foram inclu?dos. O estudo cl?nico experimental revelou que, entre TI-8M, a Mav e Dav mostraram diferen?as m?dias de 0,9 ? 1,2 mm e 0,7 ? 1,8mm, e 0,4 ? 1,3 mm e 0,7 ? 1,3mm, nos grupos teste e controle, respectivamente (P>0.05). Ambos os tratamentos mostraram ganhos similares em n?veis de cinza entre os intervalos de tempo. O SOS mostrou menos perda nos n?veis de cinza entre TI-4M e TI-8M (P<0.05). A avalia??o radiogr?fica subestimou as medi??es intra-cir?rgicas (mesial e distal) em 0,3mm na m?dia (95% IC, 0,02-0,6). Muitas t?cnicas, materiais e metodologias diferentes foram apresentadas nas quatorze publica??es revisadas, tornando as compara??es diretas dif?ceis. Os achados radiogr?ficos do ensaio cl?nico randomizado mostraram que ambos os tipos de enxerto ?sseo foram eficientes na preserva??o das dimens?es do rebordo alveolar ap?s a extra??o dent?ria, por?m nenhum deles mostrou superioridade em termos de altera??es radiogr?ficas do osso alveolar do tempo inicial aos 8 meses. Os resultados da revis?o sistem?tica da literatura corroboraram alguns dos achados 13 preliminares do estudo cl?nico e mostraram que, apesar da heterogeneidade dos estudos, h? evid?ncia que os procedimentos de preserva??o do rebordo s?o eficazes na limita??o da perda dimensional do rebordo p?s-extra??o e s?o acompanhados por um grau diferente de regenera??o ?ssea, com variadas quantidades de part?culas residuais dos materiais de enxerto. Entretanto, a exposi??o de membranas nos procedimentos de regenera??o ?ssea guiada pode comprometer os resultados. N?o h? evid?ncia para sustentar a superioridade de uma t?cnica sobre a outra assim como a import?ncia da preserva??o do rebordo em melhorar a possibilidade de colocar implantes, as taxas de sucesso/ sobreviv?ncia dos implantes, est?tica, economia do tratamento, tempo de tratamento e satisfa??o do paciente.

Texto completoThe aim of this work is to do a survey of the prose fiction of Spanish-American authors translated to Portuguese and published in Brazil, not only in book collections or series created with the specif design of spreading the word about this kind of literature but also in individual editions. The core of the analysis is directed to some collections of Spanish-American Literature that were published in Brazil between the 1960's and the 1990's, although some other editorial efforts will also be analysed, both before and after this period of time. Beyond the survey itself, this work intends to identify the editorial purposes behind the translation and publication of books by Spanish- American authors in Brazil in each of the historical moments analyzed, in a attempt to understand the importance of the circulation of these books within the Brazilian literary system.
Campos, David Emmanuel Marques. "Mining biomedical information from scientific literature". Doctoral thesis, Universidade de Aveiro, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10773/12853.
Texto completoThe rapid evolution and proliferation of a world-wide computerized network, the Internet, resulted in an overwhelming and constantly growing amount of publicly available data and information, a fact that was also verified in biomedicine. However, the lack of structure of textual data inhibits its direct processing by computational solutions. Information extraction is the task of text mining that intends to automatically collect information from unstructured text data sources. The goal of the work described in this thesis was to build innovative solutions for biomedical information extraction from scientific literature, through the development of simple software artifacts for developers and biocurators, delivering more accurate, usable and faster results. We started by tackling named entity recognition - a crucial initial task - with the development of Gimli, a machine-learning-based solution that follows an incremental approach to optimize extracted linguistic characteristics for each concept type. Afterwards, Totum was built to harmonize concept names provided by heterogeneous systems, delivering a robust solution with improved performance results. Such approach takes advantage of heterogenous corpora to deliver cross-corpus harmonization that is not constrained to specific characteristics. Since previous solutions do not provide links to knowledge bases, Neji was built to streamline the development of complex and custom solutions for biomedical concept name recognition and normalization. This was achieved through a modular and flexible framework focused on speed and performance, integrating a large amount of processing modules optimized for the biomedical domain. To offer on-demand heterogenous biomedical concept identification, we developed BeCAS, a web application, service and widget. We also tackled relation mining by developing TrigNER, a machine-learning-based solution for biomedical event trigger recognition, which applies an automatic algorithm to obtain the best linguistic features and model parameters for each event type. Finally, in order to assist biocurators, Egas was developed to support rapid, interactive and real-time collaborative curation of biomedical documents, through manual and automatic in-line annotation of concepts and relations. Overall, the research work presented in this thesis contributed to a more accurate update of current biomedical knowledge bases, towards improved hypothesis generation and knowledge discovery.
A rápida evolução e proliferação de uma rede mundial de computadores, a Internet, resultou num esmagador e constante crescimento na quantidade de dados e informação publicamente disponíveis, o que também se verificou na biomedicina. No entanto, a inexistência de estrutura em dados textuais inibe o seu processamento direto por parte de soluções informatizadas. Extração de informação é a tarefa de mineração de texto que pretende extrair automaticamente informação de fontes de dados de texto não estruturados. O objetivo do trabalho descrito nesta tese foi essencialmente focado em construir soluções inovadoras para extração de informação biomédica a partir da literatura científica, através do desenvolvimento de aplicações simples de usar por programadores e bio-curadores, capazes de fornecer resultados mais precisos, usáveis e de forma mais rápida. Começámos por abordar o reconhecimento de nomes de conceitos - uma tarefa inicial e fundamental - com o desenvolvimento de Gimli, uma solução baseada em inteligência artificial que aplica uma estratégia incremental para otimizar as características linguísticas extraídas do texto para cada tipo de conceito. Posteriormente, Totum foi implementado para harmonizar nomes de conceitos provenientes de sistemas heterogéneos, oferecendo uma solução mais robusta e com melhores resultados. Esta aproximação recorre a informação contida em corpora heterogéneos para disponibilizar uma solução não restrita às característica de um único corpus. Uma vez que as soluções anteriores não oferecem ligação dos nomes a bases de conhecimento, Neji foi construído para facilitar o desenvolvimento de soluções complexas e personalizadas para o reconhecimento de conceitos nomeados e respectiva normalização. Isto foi conseguido através de uma plataforma modular e flexível focada em rapidez e desempenho, integrando um vasto conjunto de módulos de processamento optimizados para o domínio biomédico. De forma a disponibilizar identificação de conceitos biomédicos em tempo real, BeCAS foi desenvolvido para oferecer um serviço, aplicação e widget Web. A extracção de relações entre conceitos também foi abordada através do desenvolvimento de TrigNER, uma solução baseada em inteligência artificial para o reconhecimento de palavras que desencadeiam a ocorrência de eventos biomédicos. Esta ferramenta aplica um algoritmo automático para encontrar as melhores características linguísticas e parâmetros para cada tipo de evento. Finalmente, de forma a auxiliar o trabalho de bio-curadores, Egas foi desenvolvido para suportar a anotação rápida, interactiva e colaborativa em tempo real de documentos biomédicos, através da anotação manual e automática de conceitos e relações de forma contextualizada. Resumindo, este trabalho contribuiu para a actualização mais precisa das actuais bases de conhecimento, auxiliando a formulação de hipóteses e a descoberta de novo conhecimento.

Texto completoPublic health in the country is a department of high demand, dependent on expensive technology and quick obsolescence, with high operational and maintenance costs, and with a charge of uninterrupted growth, due to both the vegetative growth of users, and the social instability, when the unemployed lose the condition of using additional health system and migrate to the public service. There is a worsening of the situation caused by the geographical dispersion of the population, by the size of the country. The Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System), through the PlanejaSUS, mantain a continued effort of planning the operation of public health in the country, for what it use, among other features, the following systems: information on live borns; reportable diseases information; hospital information; and mortality information. In order to identify the consistency degree of these systems was made a survey of the past 5 years, using articles that pointed such feature. Using cutouts of articles, analysis and tabulation of results, it was identified the predominance of disabilities of personnel and quality of the information, the latter arising out of the first. In only one case there was complaint of information technology infrastructure. It is concluded by the prioritization of work of persuasion and training of employees; by an adjustment in anticipation for the accuracy of the systems, since by its macro scale, given the geographic dispersion and the large number of people involved, that these are systems with natural tendency to instability; the role that research such as those presented in articles can make in the control of such systems; by consistency presented by systems, which although are not great, has sustained extensive research whose results are validated by literature subsidies and databases crossover. It also suggests the possibility of, in a working partnership between universities, research centers, and the Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System), the latter shall establish some axes and categories, and encourage continued research aimed to identifying the level of consistency of the mentioned systems, these research results may work in reducing instability

The Common Mental Disorders are defined as anxiety disorders, depression and somatoform and its high prevalence is related to the growth of psychological distress in labor organizations. This dissertation investigated through literature, the prevalence and factors associated with Common Mental Disorders workers. Article I, entitled "Prevalence and factors associated with Common Mental Disorders workers: a systematic review of the literature", aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with Common Mental Disorders in Brazilian workers. From this study it was possible to identify the prevalence of Common Mental Disorders for many professions in the years 2004 to 2013. The results show an important variation of prevalence ranging from 6.1% to 83.3%.The main associated factors were gender, income, diagnosis of illness and psychosocial aspects of work. Article II, called "Common Mental Disorders in women: a gender analysis" aimed to describe and analyze genetic, personality and social that can be related to the Common mental disorders in women. The reflections on the social determinants related to women's mental illness allows us to understand the context of these women to reflect on possible psychosocial interventions

Texto completoThe basic definition of pseudotranslation is: a text introduced as a translation, but that is actually an original text. In this process, an imaginary translator claims to be translating a work that does not exist: both translator and work are products of fiction. A resource used for centuries in different ways and for various reasons, it has been frequently considered as sham, fraud, fakery, or even sheer witticism without serious consequences. However, instead of what this naïve view may suggest, it has been present in important moments of western history. As far as its connection to literature is concerned, pseudotranslation has been used along the centuries as a powerful narrative resource in the composition of works that contributed to the transformation of cultural and literary systems. From the perspective of the creative and transformative potential of pseudotranslation, this study introduces five works written in different periods of western history, which somehow contributed to the dynamics of the literary systems of their ages. In all of them, the fact of having been conceived as pseudotranslations was fundamental and decisive for their effects. Each of them, set on determinate periods between the 12th and the 20th centuries, applied the resource of pseudotranslation in a different way; even though, all of them fostered transformations in literary paradigms and questionings around human issues and around fiction itself. Such works are: The History of the Kings of Britain, by Geoffrey of Monmouth, 12th century; Don Quijote de la Mancha, by Miguel de Cervantes, 17th century; The Castle of Otranto, by Horace Walpole, 18th century; The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco, and the short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, by Jorge Luis Borges, both written in the 20th century. Pondering these works from the perspective of their use of pseudotranslation makes it possible to consider translation beyond the process of turning texts from one language into another, as a creative writing process in itself.

Texto completoO presente trabalho visa a dois objetivos principais: o primeiro é prover os estudos sorjuanísticos com uma nova abordagem ao aparato retórico, filosófico, mitológico e simbólico de que a poeta lançou mão para compor sua obra que abrange poesias lírica e sacra, assim como prosa epistolar e dramaturgia, a fim de disponibilizar, principalmente para o estudioso brasileiro, mais uma fonte de pesquisa para a análise da obra e da vida da poeta barroca mexicana. O segundo objetivo é discutir, através da técnica de desvendamento de imagem que Octavio Paz usa em Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz o las trampas de la fe, o perfil ideológico da autora a partir de um apanhado de poemas, trechos de prosa e loas de autos sacramentais selecionados por apresentarem um marcado teor crítico-social de caráter reivindicativo, a fim de mostrar como Sor Juana se opõe a imposições patriarcais de seu tempo partindo de uma concepção autêntica do papel da mulher na sociedade. Embora os conceitos de ideologia e emancipação não fizessem parte de seu momento histórico, a monja desenvolveu uma engenharia argumentativa que transcende as meras reiterações de arquétipos barrocos e, com ela, lega aos estudos culturalistas do século XX e XXI o gérmen de um livre-pensar que engendra os princípios da emancipação tanto do homem quanto da mulher

Texto completoPrison institutions are known as reservoirs for transmittable diseases, such as tuberculosis. The study aimed to analyze the strategies for the control of tuberculosis in the prison system, trough scientific work. Thus, integrative review was chosen, happening through the search of original scientific articles in the PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências de Saúde, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Alied Health Literature, Web of Science and Scopus databases, including different search strategies using controlled and non-controlled descriptors, selecting articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. After the database search using titles and summaries, it was possible to pre-select 33 original scientific articles for this review and, consequent to full reading of those articles, come to a final of 22, which compose the study. Through the reading of such articles it was possible to identify 11 strategies, all aimed to the detection of the disease, and group them into three categories \"Active Case-finding as a strategy for control of tuberculosis\", \"Active Case-finding as a strategy for identifying latent tuberculosis\" and \"Use of image to diagnose tuberculosis\". Through the studies included in this review it\'s possible to make clear that when all strategies are developed as complementary and performed periodically they can provide higher chances of effective control of tuberculosis in the prison system

Texto completoWith the overwhelming amount of biomedical textual information being produced, several manual curation efforts have been set up to extract and store concepts and their relationships into structured resources. Since manual annotation is a very demanding and expensive task, computerized solutions were developed to perform such tasks automatically. Nevertheless, high-end information extraction techniques are still not widely used by biomedical research communities, mainly due to the lack of standards and limitations in usability. Interactive annotation tools intend to fill this gap, taking advantage of automatic techniques and existing knowledge bases to assist expert curators in their daily tasks. This thesis presents Egas, a web-based platform for biomedical text mining and assisted curation with highly usable interfaces for manual and automatic inline annotation of concepts and relations. Furthermore, a comprehensive set of knowledge bases are integrated and indexed to provide straightforward concept normalization features. Additionally, curators can also rely on real-time collaboration and conversation functionalities allowing discussing details of the annotation task as well as providing instant feedback of curators interactions. Egas also provides interfaces for on-demand management of the annotation task settings and guidelines, and supports standard formats and literature services to import and export documents. By taking advantage of Egas, we participated in the BioCreative IV interactive annotation task, targeting the assisted identification of protein-protein interactions described in PubMed abstracts related to neuropathological disorders. Thereby, when evaluated by expert curators, Egas obtained very positive scores in terms of usability, reliability and performance. These results, together with the provided innovative features, place Egas as a state-of-the-art solution for fast and accurate curation of information, facilitating the task of creating and updating knowledge bases in a more consistent way.
Com o acréscimo da quantidade de literatura biomédica a ser produzida todos os dias, vários esforços têm sido feitos para tentar extrair e armazenar de forma estruturada os conceitos e as relações nela presentes. Por outro lado, uma vez que a extração manual de conceitos compreende uma tarefa extremamente exigente e exaustiva, algumas soluções de anotação automática foram surgindo. No entanto, mesmo os sistemas de anotação mais completos não têm sido muito bem recebidos no seio das equipas de investigação, em grande parte devido às falhas a nível de usabilidade e de interface standards. Para colmatar esta falha são necessárias ferramentas de anotação interativa, que tirem proveito de sistemas de anotação automática e de bases de dados já existentes, para ajudar os anotadores nas suas tarefas do dia-a-dia. Nesta dissertação iremos apresentar uma plataforma de anotação de literatura biomédica orientada para a usabilidade e que suporta anotação manual e automática. No mesmo sentido, integramos no sistema várias bases de dados, no intuito de facilitar a normalização dos conceitos anotados. Por outro lado, os utilizadores podem também contar com funcionalidades colaborativas em toda a aplicação, estimulando assim a interação entre os anotadores e, desta forma, a produção de melhores resultados. O sistema apresenta ainda funcionalidades para importar e exportar ficheiros, gestão de projetos e diretivas de anotação. Com esta plataforma, Egas, participámos na tarefa de anotação interativa do BioCreative IV (IAT), nomeadamente na identificação de interações proteína-proteína. Depois de avaliado por um conjunto de anotadores, o Egas obteve os melhores resultados entre os sistemas apresentados, relativamente à usabilidade, confiança e desempenho.

Texto completoDesenvolvimentos recentes na área da biotecnologia e pesquisa genética levantam complexas questões éticas relacionadas com o legítimo alcance e limites da intervenção genética. Com a possibilidade de intervir no genoma humano com o objectivo de evitar doenças, a comunidade científica entende que a espécie humana poderá em breve ter controlo sobre a sua evolução biológica. “Playing God” é uma expressão frequentemente usada para classificar esta auto-transformação das espécies, a qual parece cada vez mais vir a tornar-se realidade. A literatura, vivendo lado a lado com estes avanços científicos, tem a possibilidade de “brincar” com temas que vão desde o espaço, ideologia, raça, etnia, futuros utópicos ou criaturas de laboratório criadas para desafiar, ou talvez ser reflexo da nossa própria humanidade, antevendo mudanças que as novas tecnologias possam trazer. E, uma vez que vivemos num tempo em que os avanços tecnológicos levaram as nossas capacidades para lugares antigamente só imaginados na ficção científica, a literatura tem também a oportunidade de explorar questões levantadas pela clonagem humana, inteligência artificial e engenharia genética, ou outras questões bioéticas. Jodi Picoult, escritora Americana, tem dedicado a sua escrita a assuntos do dia a dia e a temas actuais e controversos, como por exemplo a engenharia genética e a perspectiva de “saviour siblings” com todas as implicações éticas, tema do livro My Sister’s Keeper, que me proponho analisar neste trabalho.
Recent developments in biotechnology and genetic research are raising complex ethical questions concerning the legitimate scope and limits of genetic intervention. With the possibility of intervening in the human genome to prevent diseases, the scientific community feels that the human species might soon be able to take its biological evolution in its own hands. “Playing God” is an expression commonly used to refer to this self-transformation of the species which, from the evidence, might soon be a reality. Living side-by-side with these advances, literature has the chance “to play” with themes such as outer space, ideology, race and ethnicity, utopian futures, or laboratory beings created to defy, or perhaps reflect our own humanity, dealing with changes that new technologies might bring about. And as we are living at a time when technological advances have moved our capabilities to places previously only imagined in science fiction, literature also has the opportunity to explore questions raised by human cloning, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering or other bioethical issues. Jodi Picoult, an American novelist has been devoting her writings to several present-day events and controversial issues such as genetic engineering and the prospect of “savior siblings” with all its ethical implications, dealt with in My Sister’s Keeper, the novel I will be presenting in this work.
