Os Maias nas trilhas do rock do Iron Maiden: morte, eternidade, sacrifícios e o calendário dos lucros da banda inglesa

IX Congresso Brasileiro de Hispanistas realizado nos dias 22 a 25 agosto 2016Em 1975, Steve Harris criou na Inglaterra a banda Iron Maiden. Caracterizada pelo som estilo heavy metal, bem como por letras inquietantes que, não raro, a partir do viés histórico, têm as guerras, angustias humanas e religião como abordagens corriqueiras. O clima de malestar dos anos 1970 e a ascensão dos jovens como mercado consumidor compunham o cenário de projeção mercadológica da banda britânica. De críticas à Margareth Thatcher a inferências a catástrofes vivenciadas pelo mundo, o conjunto musical marcou a composição de suas canções, performances, produção artística dos álbuns e a criação do personagem “Eddie The Head”, característico na história do grupo musical. A partir destas premissas, a proposta do trabalho é problematizar aspectos da cultura Maia presentes na filosofia da composição do último álbum da banda denominado The Book of Souls (2015). Em especial, esta produção contou com o apoio do historiador Simon Martin especialista em estudos sobre a Civilização Maia justificando nossa análise. Do ponto de vista metodológico, utilizaremos o álbum para discutir aspectos da Civilização Maia presentes nas letras, som, álbum, desempenho nos shows da turnê brasileira e no personagem Eddie. O trabalho se justifica, ainda, pela condição de atratividade que a tradição Maia traz para os jovens e para as tradições das músicas da banda inglesa. Outro ponto relevante, diz respeito aos lucros potencializados pela indústria fonográfica a partir dos usos e abusos da cultura da civilização précolombiana que marca o último disco do Iron. As visões sobre a morte, eternidade e os sacrifícios humanos são alguns dos aspectos da cultura Maia que marcam o lucrativo calendário da banda em 2016UNILA­-UNIOEST

Hardy's paradox and violation of a state-independent Bell inequality in time

Tests such as Bell's inequality and Hardy's paradox show that joint probabilities and correlations between distant particles in quantum mechanics are inconsistent with local realistic theories. Here we experimentally demonstrate these concepts in the time domain, using a photonic entangling gate to perform nondestructive measurements on a single photon at different times. We show that Hardy's paradox is much stronger in time and demonstrate the violation of a temporal Bell inequality independent of the quantum state, including for fully mixed states.Comment: Published Version, 4 pages, 3 figures.

Entanglement-free certification of entangling gates

Not all quantum protocols require entanglement to outperform their classical alternatives. The nonclassical correlations that lead to this quantum advantage are conjectured to be captured by quantum discord. Here we demonstrate that discord can be explicitly used as a resource: certifying untrusted entangling gates without generating entanglement at any stage. We implement our protocol in the single-photon regime, and show its success in the presence of high levels of noise and imperfect gate operations. Our technique offers a practical method for benchmarking entangling gates in physical architectures in which only highly-mixed states are available.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Uncovering the host galaxy of the γ\gamma-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy FBQS J1644+2619

The discovery of $\gamma$-ray emission from radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies has questioned the need for large black hole masses (> 10$^8$ M$_{\odot}$) to launch relativistic jets. We present near-infrared data of the $\gamma$-ray-emitting NLSy1 FBQS J1644+2619 that were collected using the camera CIRCE (Canarias InfraRed Camera Experiment) at the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias to investigate the structural properties of its host galaxy and to infer the black hole mass. The 2D surface brightness profile is modelled by the combination of a nuclear and a bulge component with a S\'ersic profile with index $n$ = 3.7, indicative of an elliptical galaxy. The structural parameters of the host are consistent with the correlations of effective radius and surface brightness against absolute magnitude measured for elliptical galaxies. From the bulge luminosity, we estimated a black hole mass of (2.1$\pm$0.2) $\times$10$^8$ M$_{\odot}$, consistent with the values characterizing radio-loud active galactic nuclei.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 table.

De Blanka a Bart Simpson: Imagens do Brasil nos tempos da globalização

It is intended, in this article, to discuss images of Brazil presented in the game Street Fighter II and in the series Simpsons, respectively, through the characters analysis Blanka and Bart Simpson. With such a proposal, we still looked for to demystify the use of videogames and cartoons as a History source and to discuss problems of the globalization that interferes in the duel among the representations of nation versus the globalized world.Tenciona-se, neste artigo, discutir imagens do Brasil apresentadas no jogo Street Fighter II e na série Os Simpsons, respectivamente, por meio da análise dos personagens Blanka e Bart Simpson. Com tal proposta, busca-se ainda abordar acerca da utilização de jogos de videogame e desenhos animados como fonte historiográfica e discutir problemáticas da globalização que se insere no duelo entre as representações de nação versus o mundo globalizado

Casais em segunda união: desafios e encaminhamentos pastorais

The processes of secularization which the country has undergone have made ​​visible progress in the number of couples who separate and return to live in marital union. This situation does not reduce their willingness and desire to join a community of faith. Thus it causes a climate of pastoral need in order to assist these couples, who are in hard and sometimes very delicate and conflicting conditions. Therefore, every day we see the creation of pastorals that are ready to walk together and provide the Gospel service of solidarity with the couples on a second marriage. In this task, this paper attempts to point out some possibilities for therapeutic help, talking to couples therapy in an analytical way and pastoral counseling, referencing also the position of the Roman Catholic Church and its pastoral guidelines.Os processos de secularização pelos quais vem passando o país têm tornado visível o avanço do número de casais que se separam e voltam a viver em união marital. Essa situação não diminui sua vontade e desejo de participar da comunidade de fé, ocasionando assim um clima de necessidade pastoral que auxilie esses casais, que se encontram em condições difíceis e, por vezes, muito delicadas e conflituosas. Por isso, evidencia-se a cada dia a criação de pastorais que estejam prontas a andar junto e a prestar o serviço evangélico de solidariedade aos casais em segunda união. Nesta tarefa, o presente artigo intenta apontar algumas possibilidades de auxílio terapêutico, dialogando com a terapia de casais de viés analítico e com o aconselhamento pastoral, sem deixar de fazer referências ao posicionamento da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana (ICAR), com suas diretrizes pastorais

Silicon nitride interferometers for optical sensing with multi-micron dimensions

Increasing the size of the smallest features of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) to multi-micron dimensions can be advantageous to avoid expensive and complex lithographic steps in the fabrication process. In applications where extremely reduced chip size is not a requirement, the design of devices with multi-micron dimensions is potential interesting to avoid the need for e-beam lithography. Another benefit is that making the dimensions larger reduces the effect of lithographic imperfections such as waveguide surface roughness. However, the benefits do not come without limitations. Coupling the light in and out of the circuit is more challenging since diffraction gratings are not available when designing for such large dimensions. Circuit bends must have a larger radius of curvature and the existence of multimode propagation conditions can have detrimental impact in the performance of several devices, such as interferometers. In this study we perform simulations of the coupling between a lensed multimode optical fiber and a multi-micron a-SiN:H rib waveguide. Light coupling efficiency is analyzed as a function of distance variations using the FDTD method and compared with coupling to a strip waveguide. Moreover, we use numerical simulations to study the performance of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer sensitive to refractive index variations. Both the interferometer, splitters and combiners are designed with multi-micron dimensionsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
