Brasilidades e Devir

Resenha do livro Brazuca negão e sebento, uma aventura e um convite do autor, o filósofo e professor francês J.-C. Goddard, de experimentação filosófico-literária com a condição brasileira. Obra de uma filosofia nua contracanibal que se presta a desexplicar o Brasil através de uma leitura pelo avesso, ácida com os antropólogos e filósofos europeus, especialmente os de linha francesa, tão agraciados no mundo ocidental. 

Concrete reinforced by brained fibre composite rods

This paper describes the work that is being done at the University of Minho concerning the development of braided rods for concrete reinforcement. A preliminary research study has been conducted to understand the mechanical behaviour of braided fabrics. The tensile properties of these samples have been evaluated and the results presented. In order to produce braided reinforced composite rods to use as a concrete reinforcement, a special technique has been developed using a standard vertical braiding machine. Special samples have been prepared and tested to evaluate the adherence between both materials involved. The tensile and bending properties of braided reinforced composite rods have been evaluated and the results obtained presented and discussed. Concrete beams reinforced by braided composite rods, have been prepared and tested. The results obtained are presented and compared with those obtained for conventional concrete beams reinforced by steel rods

Braided fibre reinforced composite rods for concrete reinforcement

This paper describes the work that is being done at the University of Minho concerning the development of braided rods for concrete reinforcement. A preliminary research study has been conducted to understand the mechanical behaviour of braided fabrics. Various samples have been produced varying the type of fiber (glass, polyester and aramid), the type of braided fabric (simple, hybrid and core reinforced) and in the latter case, the number of core reinforcing yarns. The tensile properties of these samples have been evaluated and the results presented. The influence of each factor on the tensile properties of braided fabrics has also been analysed and discussed. In order to produce braided reinforced composite rods to use as a concrete reinforcement, a special technique has been developed using a standard vertical braiding machine. The braided reinforced composite materials have been produced in a ribbed structure to improve adhesion between them and the concrete. Special samples have been prepared and tested to evaluate the adherence between both materials involved. The tensile and bending properties of braided reinforced composite rods have been evaluated and the results obtained presented and discussed

NOVOS E MULTILETRAMENTOS GEOGRÁFICOS: AS MÍDIAS LOCATIVAS E SUAS APLICAÇÕES

Este trabalho trate-se de um diálogo que engloba as Mídias Locativas e suas diferentes aplicações em contextos Geoespaciais. Para tal fim, utilizamos de uma análise bibliografia pautada no campo investigativo dos Novos e Multiletramentos. Uma vez que as mídias locativas têm ajudado a revelar o surgimento de muitas novas linguagens que se tornaram intrínsecas ao cotidiano e, sobretudo na forma com a qual pensamos e temos nos inseridos em novas interações espaciais em contextos digitais, ampliando as possibilidades para o Ensino de Geografia. Desse modo, para que seja possível pensarmos em uma educação geográfica em um mundo de mídias locativas, sobretudo por se tratar de tecnologias, linguagens e práticas sociais extremamente recentes associadas a elas, torna-se de significativa importância investigar tanto as inovações tecnológicas que as envolvem, mas principalmente seus usos. Estes dispositivos em que ao mesmo tempo englobam em um único o uso nossa tecnologia de informação mais primitiva, a fala, até a mais recente até então: eles também são computadores e estão conectados ao ciberespaço, dispondo de geotecnologias que possibilitam uma interação inédita entre eles, os lugares e os usuários

In order to produce braided reinforced composite rods to use as a concrete reinforcement, a special technique has been developed using a standard vertical braiding machine.

Exploring the psychology of GPT-4's Moral and Legal Reasoning

Large language models have been used as the foundation of highly sophisticated artificial intelligences, capable of delivering human-like responses to probes about legal and moral issues. However, these models are unreliable guides to their own inner workings, and even the engineering teams behind their creation are unable to explain exactly how they came to develop all of the capabilities they currently have. The emerging field of machine psychology seeks to gain insight into the processes and concepts that these models possess. In this paper, we employ the methods of psychology to probe into GPT-4's moral and legal reasoning. More specifically, we investigate the similarities and differences between GPT-4 and humans when it comes to intentionality ascriptions, judgments about causation, the morality of deception, moral foundations, the impact of moral luck on legal judgments, the concept of consent, and rule violation judgments. We find high correlations between human and AI responses, but also several significant systematic differences between them. We conclude with a discussion of the philosophical implications of our findings

MÍDIAS LOCATIVAS E REALIDADE AUMENTADA: POTENCIALIDADES PARA O ENSINO GEOGRAFIA NA CIBERCULTURA

The emergence of new information and communication technologies reconfigures the human way of life, culture and relations with space. Locative media, which aggregate a specific informational content through access to GPS location, brings to the forefront new spatiality and potentialities, such as the use of augmented reality (RA) technology, which has been diffused and improved with games and applications launched each day, allowing the visualization of virtual elements in the real world, in real time, which is to promote new possibilities of interaction between these elements and users. This article will discuss the uses of augmented reality and its potential for Geography TeachingO surgimento de novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação ressignificam o modo de vida humano, a cultura e as relações com o espaço.

A new tool for the assessment of public transportation systems: the METRIX / Uma nova ferramenta para avaliação de sistemas de transporte público: o METRIX

Many transit performance indicators collect excessive data, which are costly, complex, and arduous. An excessive dependence on the availability of various data makes benchmarking difficult and sometimes impossible. However, other methods are simple but too limited to capture a systemic global view. This study presents an efficient tool that acknowledges the current situation of the transit system of a given metropolis and enables comparisons with several national and international references. The Metropolitan Transit Index (METRIX) is the relationship between the number of trips by quality public transit (QPT) modes in a workday and the number of inhabitants in a given metropolitan region. It was applied to 25 metropolises worldwide for the year 2018, which were then ranked from the highest to lowest to score their transit development. Our results show that Tokyo and Paris are two of the most transit-oriented metropolises globally, while Seattle, Atlanta, and Los Angeles are the most automobile-oriented. Additionally, we found that Asian and European metropolises have a higher METRIX, whereas South American and North American metropolises (especially US cities), except São Paulo, have a lower METRIX. The data indicate a trend towards greater METRIX in cities that chose a greater proportion of rail over bus QPT services
