This paper explores a series of thoughts about the meaning of intelligence in neuroscience and computer science. This work aims to present an understandable definition that fits our contemporary artificial intelligence background. The research methodology of this essay lies in existing theories of artificial intelligence, focused on computer science and neuroscience. I analyze the relationship between intelligence and neuroscience and Hawkin’s Thousand Brains Theory, an approach to show what it is an intelligent agent according to neuroscience. Here, the main result relies on the verification that intelligence is only possible in the neocortex. According to this result, the study performs a second critical analysis aiming to demonstrate why there is no artificial intelligence today.

This paper results from concerns about the history of uni/bi/multilateral relationships between Archival Science and other disciplines and about the tendency to naturalize interdisciplinarity as an intrinsic characteristic of disciplines in the contemporaneity. By questioning the rejection of relation between Archival Science and other disciplines on behalf of its scientific autonomy, as well as part of other discipline as a technique, we intend to shed light on the relationships that Archival Science has established (or not) with other disciplines in pursuing its scientific autonomy. Both sides instigate us to resume some concepts of interdisciplinarity and its ramifications aiming to understand the relations between Archival Science and other disciplines in its path of scientific development. Through a literature review we introduce some historical landmarks of Diplomatics, History, Computer Science and Information Science which we believe have a strong relationship with Archival Science. The results demonstrate an interdisciplinary relation between Archival Science and Diplomatics, and relations more specific with the other disciplines.

his paper is a discussion on the emergence of consumer behavior and trends very peculiar concurrently to an accelerated development of information technology and communication. We highlight how the tilt to customize products and services, developed in a time of economic prominence of innovation in production due to the continuous development of technology and microelectronics-based computer that came with the call and informational technology revolution and still is in full progress. We also present the main elements of Lipovetsky about new configurations of current society, their views on the technological progress in setting up this scenario, and as this author points out the reactions and ways of life of individuals, or as he calls it: hiperindivíduos, before the webs of consumption.
