PT. No presente artigo, pretendo reler o álbum de tiras « Tutti Frutti », de Marco Mendes, como uma reportagem visual fragmentária. O livro é composto de tiras de BD publicadas diariamente entre Junho e Dezembro de 2018, no Jornal de Notícias. Uma vez reunidas as tiras, em 2019, no formato do livro, mudam a sua contextualização e abrem-se as possíveis leituras translineares. Tutti Frutti faz parte do projeto « Diário Rasgado » e pode ser visto como a consequência do desenvolvimento da atividade artística de Mendes que, entre as obras dele, mais se aproxima de uma reportagem completa, estruturada cronologicamente e organizada num único livro. A própria forma materializada de « Tutti Frutti » em um álbum implica a leitura de tiras soltas como peças de uma totalidade e o título logo sugere uma variedade de temas. O objeto da minha análise primária é o padrão de como as tiras separadas funcionam no espaço narrativizante do álbum « Tutti Frutti ». Considerar estas tiras como as peças de um projeto maior possibilita ver nelas os padrões de uma reportagem. Possibilita também percebê-las como se estivessem a cronicar o ano 2018 em que foram sendo criadas no regime diário para refletir sobre a realidade sociopolítica e sobre o papel que nela desempenham pessoas-protagonistas. Criou-se, assim, um retrato de acontecimentos e questões mais marcantes para aquele ano no qual a perspectiva subjectivizante do Autor evidencia pontos de encontro com as experiências dos leitores. Ao longo da análise de Tutti Frutti, vou recorrendo aos conceitos teóricos como openness, tressage ou closure sempre quando for oportuno introduzi-los como ferramentas analíticas e / ou interpretativas.Tutti Frutti torna-se numa obra aberta que aproveita o estruturalismo significativo da banda desenhada para despertar as experiências da leitura únicas para este meio artístico. *** EN. In this article, I propose to re-examine the strip album "Tutti Frutti", by Marco Mendes, as fragmentary visual reportage. This book presents comic strips published between June and December 2018 in the daily newspaper Jornal de Notícias. Bringing them together in a single volume in 2019 changes their contextualization and opens the way to possible translinear readings. “Tutti Frutti” is part of the Diário Rasgado [Torn Diary] project and can be considered, within the development of Mendes' artistic activity, as one of his works which draws closest to a full reportage, structured chronologically and brought together in a single work. The very format of "Tutti Frutti", organized as an album, implies reading the various strips as elements of a whole, the title immediately suggesting a variety of themes. My first analysis focuses on the way individual strips function within the narrative space of the "Tutti Frutti" album. Considering these strips as parts of a larger project, it's possible to observe the characteristics of a reportage. It's also possible to see them as a chronicle of the year 2018, during which they were created at a daily pace, prompting reflection on the socio-political situation and the role played by their main characters. The result is a portrait of the most significant events and issues of that year, in which the author's subjective perspective points to connections with readers' experiences. In my analysis of “Tutti Frutti”, I will use theoretical concepts such as openness, interweaving and closure whenever appropriate, as analytical and/or interpretative tools. “Tutti Frutti” is presented as an open work that draws on the significant structuralism of comics to create unique reading experiences specific to this artistic medium. *** FR. Dans cet article, je me propose de procéder à une relecture de l'album de strips « Tutti Frutti », de Marco Mendes, en tant que reportage visuel fragmentaire. Ce livre présente des strips de BD publiés entre juin et décembre 2018 dans le quotidien Jornal de Notícias. Leur regroupement au sein d'un même ouvrage, en 2019, change leur contextualisation et ouvre la voie à de possibles lectures translinéaires. Tutti Frutti fait partie du projet « Diário Rasgado » [Journal déchiré] et peut être considéré, au sein du développement de l'activité artistique de Mendes, comme l'une de ses œuvres la plus proche d'un reportage complet, structurée chronologiquement et réunie en un seul livre. Le format même de « Tutti Frutti », organisé en un album, implique de lire les différents strips comme autant d'éléments d'un tout, le titre suggérant d'emblée une variété de thèmes. Ma première analyse porte sur le mode de fonctionnement des strips individuels au sein de l'espace narratif de l'album « Tutti Frutti ». En considérant ces strips comme les pièces d'un projet plus vaste, il est possible d'y observer les caractéristiques d'un reportage. Il est aussi possible d'y voir une chronique de l'année 2018, au cours de laquelle ils ont été créés à un rythme quotidien, poussant à la réflexion sur la situation sociopolitique et sur le rôle qu’y tiennent leurs personnages principaux. Un portrait des événements et des enjeux les plus marquants de cette année-là est ainsi dressé, dans lequel la perspective subjectivante de l'auteur fait apparaître des points de rencontre avec les expériences des lecteurs. Au cours de l'analyse de Tutti Frutti, j'utiliserai des concepts théoriques tels que ceux d’openness, de tressage ou de closure, chaque fois qu'il sera opportun de les introduire en tant qu'outils analytiques et/ ou interprétatifs. Tutti Frutti se présente comme une œuvre ouverte qui tire parti du structuralisme significatif de la bande dessinée pour susciter des expériences de lecture uniques, propres à ce support artistique. *** ES.

This paper proposes a contextualization of the didactic comic book Aguinha!! De Cabo Verde às Canári-as... e vice-versa. The comic book in question emerged as part of the institutional project financed by European funds, but at the plot level it hides any explicit affinities with Europe. For this reason, we chose to analyze the contents of the book in the transinsular order and to draw both on the concept of environ-mental education and on border thinking. It is also proposed to frame this comic book as a complementary, non-autonomous didactic material

This article examines the extent to which the (re)definition of collective responsibilities associated with community seed bank can contribute to a redefinition of seed relations and status. The analysis is based on interviews and a collaborative and reflective process conducted in Senegal with researchers, development actors and farmers’organizations. From a relational perspective, the notion of responsibility makes it possible to grasp the links that bind humans to each other and humans to seeds from the point of view of these different actors. The plurality of principles of responsibility observed reveals certain uncommons inherent of community seed banks. We emphasize the importance of taking these uncommons into account, both in order to respond to the issues of justice targeted by these mechanisms and to collectively explore new ways of preserving cultivated diversity as well as the plurality of relations to it.

Background Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in children remains an important problem with no effective preventive or therapeutic strategies. Recently, genomic underpinnings explaining additional interindividual risk beyond psychological factors have been proposed. Aims We present a comprehensive review of current preclinical and clinical evidence for genetic and epigenetic mechanisms relevant to pediatric CPSP. Methods Narrative review Results Animal models are relevant to translational research for unraveling genomic mechanisms. For example, Cacng2, p2rx7 and bdnf mutant mice show altered mechanical hypersensitivity to injury, and variants of the same genes have been associated with CPSP susceptibility in humans; similarly, differential DNA methylation (H1SP) and miRNAs (miR-96/7a) have shown translational implications. Animal studies also suggest crosstalk between neurons and immune cells may be involved in nociceptive priming observed in neonates. In children, differential DNA methylation in regulatory genomic regions enriching GABAergic, dopaminergic and immune pathways, as well as polygenic risk scores for enhanced prediction of CPSP, have been described. Genome wide studies in pediatric CPSP are scarce, but pathways identified by adult gene association studies point to potential common mechanisms. Conclusions Bench to bedside genomics research in pediatric CPSP is currently limited. Reverse translational approaches, use of other -omics and inclusion of pediatric/CPSP endophenotypes in large scale biobanks may be potential solutions. Time of developmental vulnerability and longitudinal genomic changes after surgery warrant further investigation. Emergence of promising precision pain management strategies based on gene editing and epigenetic programing emphasize need for further research in pediatric CPSP-related genomics.

The main purpose of the article is to present analysis of comic book Nô Pintcha which – as we state – is the exceptional example of visual representation of theory of education from period of early independ-ence of former portuguese colonies in Africa. Nô Pintcha was published in 1978 during the summit of ministers of education and educators from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and São Tomé. Authors of Nô Pintcha considered comic book as a apendix to the basic literacy campaign in Guinea Bissau. Theory of education which was used during literacy campaign had origins of emancipa-tory popular education of Paulo Freire. Thus the analysis presented in this paper lies parallely in looking for the Nô Pintcha in perspective of comic book theory as well in looking for traces Freire’s theory.

Abstract Avian influenza (AI) is a devastating poultry disease that currently can be controlled only by liquidation of affected flocks. In spite of typically very high mortality rates, a group of survivors was identified and genotyped on a 600K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip to identify genetic differences between survivors, and age- and genetics-matched controls from unaffected flocks. In a previous analysis of this dataset, a heritable component was identified and several regions that are associated with outcome of the infection were localized but none with a large effect. For complex traits that are determined by many genes, genomic prediction models using all SNPs across the genome simultaneously are expected to optimally exploit genomic information. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic value of genomic estimated breeding values for predicting AI infection outcome within and across two highly pathogenic avian influenza viral strains and two genetic lines of layer chickens using receiver operating curves. We show that genomic prediction based on the 600K SNP chip has the potential to predict disease outcome especially within the same strain of virus (area under receiver operating curve above 0.7), but did not predict well across genetic varieties (area under receiver operating curve of 0.43).

Les modes de production des connaissances scientifiques dans le domaine agricole sont questionnés par l'écologisation des pratiques ou l'essor des sciences participatives. Les pratiques de recherche, tant en sciences biotechniques qu'en sciences humaines, et leur relation aux connaissances autres que scientifiques, en ressortent interpellées. Comment articuler ces différents types de connaissances dans l'activité scientifique ? Quelles interactions avec nos propres connaissances de chercheurs ? Comment accéder aux connaissances des agriculteurs, et qu'en faire ? Que faire dans des situations où les connaissances deviennent source de tension ? Cet article rend compte des réflexions qui ont émergé lors de la conception et de l'animation de l'école-chercheurs organisée par l'Inra et le Cirad en juin 2016. Son objectif était d'outiller les participants pour analyser et agir avec réflexivité dans ces situations. Nous analysons les étapes de sa conception et les échanges interdisciplinaires qu'elle a nécessités dans l'équipe organisatrice, les cadrages et modalités pédagogiques choisis, et enfin leurs impacts sur le déroulement de l'école.

À Madagascar, le Tsiperifery, une espèce de poivrier sauvage endémique de l’île, est actuellement soumis à une surexploitation. Un programme participatif de domestication de cette plante a été lancé pour assurer la durabilité de son exploitation. Des techniques de culture sont co-construites par des chercheurs et des paysans sur trois sites pilotes. Cette étude s’intéresse aux facteurs influençant la propension des paysans à co-construire et expérimenter ces techniques. Les données collectées via 90 entretiens semi-dirigés ont été traitées en suivant les principes de l’approche « grounded theory ». Les principaux déterminants influençant le comportement des paysans sont (i) la logique économique, (ii) le contexte informationnel, (iii) l’accès au marché, (iv) les capacités productives de l’exploitation et (v) l’esprit de conservation de la nature. À partir de ces déterminants, nous avons pu définir cinq types de stratégies paysannes : les « homo-economicus » ; les « conservationnistes » ; les « opportunistes », les « exclus » et les « suiveurs ». Cette meilleure compréhension des stratégies paysannes permet d’améliorer la conception et la conduite des programmes de recherche participative.

Crambe seeds have numerous industrial applications. Crambe seed oil contains mostly monounsaturated fatty acids. Seeds contain crude protein, amino acid, glucosinolates. They are used in human and animal nutrition. The aim of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of crambe seeds subjected to fertilization at 0, 15, 30 kg S ha−1. Thousand seed weight ranged from 6.93 g (0S) to 8.04 g (30S). All results were statistically significantly different. Length (L) of seeds ranged from 2.20 mm (0S, 15S) to 2.24 mm (30S), width (S) ranged from 1.90 mm (0S) to 1.95 mm (30S), surface area (F) ranged from 3.53 mm2 (0S) to 3.67 mm2 (30S). All samples (0S, 15S, 30S) formed one homogenous group for the values of L, S, F. Crude fat content was 349.8 g kg−1 DM (0S) to 377.9 g kg−1 DM (30S) and crude protein content was 241.0 g kg−1 DM (0S) to 250.3 g kg−1 DM (30S). The results for each sample were statistically significantly different. The results can be used in practice to determine the dose of sulfur fertilizer. Fertilization caused changes in 1000 seed weight of crambe. Additionally, selected linear dimensions and shape factors of crambe seeds were affected by fertilizer. Sulfur fertilization caused changes in the crude fat and crude protein content of crambe seeds.

Camelina is an oilseed crop. Seeds may have an application in various industries. Sulfur applied to soil can increase the seed yield. However, there is insufficient information on the optimal dose of sulfur fertilization that provides the best physical and chemical properties of seed. The aim of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of camelina seeds subjected to sulfur fertilization at 0 (control), 15, 30 kg S ha−1 applied as potassium sulfate. The content of crude fat of camelina seeds ranged from 346.4 g kg−1 dm (30 kg S ha−1) to 360.9 g kg−1 dm (control plots). The selected shape factors and linear dimensions of camelina seeds were significantly positively affected by sulfur fertilizer applied at 30 kg S ha−1. The results can be used to select the optimal dose of sulfur fertilizer, which has the greatest positive effect on camelina seed properties. Seeds with the best characteristics are desirable for the processing. The optimal dose of sulfur fertilizer is 30 kg S ha−1. It may be useful in practice that the selected linear dimensions and shape factors of seeds were significantly positively affected by sulfur fertilizer applied at 30 kg S ha−1.

La participation est devenue une injonction de modernisation d’une recherche intégrée à des enjeux économiques et sociaux. De précédentes études ont décrit la manière dont la prise en compte des savoirs locaux dans le cadre de recherches participatives implique des remaniements de ces savoirs pour qu’ils répondent à des critères de scientificité. Cet article se propose d’observer les processus de légitimation des savoirs locaux à l’œuvre non pas a posteriori mais au cours d’une recherche participative. Les modes de légitimation des savoirs scientifiques sont également questionnés. Il s’agit d’observer le processus dialectique entre définition de savoirs et rapports de légitimité dans les recherches participatives. Le lien entre processus de légitimation et réappropriation des savoirs issus de l’action collective est discuté.

Recent advances in applying deep neural networks to Bayesian Modelling, sparked resurgence of in- terest in Variational Methods. Notably, the main contribution in this area is Reparametrization Trick introduced in [1] and [2]. VAE model [1], is unsupervised and therefore its application to classification is not optimal. In this work, we research the possibility to extend the model to supervised case. We first start with the model known as Supervised Variational Autoencoder that is researched in the literature in various forms [3] and [4]. We then modify objective function in such a way, that latent space can be better fitted to multiclass problem. Finally, we introduce a new method that uses information about classes to modify latent space, so it even better reflects differences between classes. All of this, will use only two dimensions. We will show, that mainstream classifiers applied to such a space, achieve significantly better performance than if applied to original datasets and VAE generated data. We also show, how our novel approach can be used to calculate better classification score, and how it can be used to generate data for a given class.

In this paper, the idea of using polymer adhesive as a damping layer is proposed. An experimental study of two aluminium cantilevered beams has been conducted. One of them presents a plain cantilevered beam, while the second one considers two aluminium beams bonded with a polymer adhesive of different thickness (0,5; 1,2; 1,75; 3,1 and 5 mm). The polymer adhesive considered in the study is a specially designed flexible two-component grout, which has high damping properties. The aim of the study is to determine dynamic parameters, such as natural frequencies and damping ratios of both beams, based on the tests in which analyzed elements have been induced to vibrations by a modal hammer. The behaviour of the beams under different additional weight, installed at the end of elements, has been studied. The results of the study clearly show that the response of the composite aluminium beam with polymer adhesive inside is substantially different then the response of the plain beam. The application of polymer adhesive leads to significant increase in structural damping. Based on the results, the method of using the polymer adhesive can be considered as an effective one in reduction of structural vibrations.

The article presents the results for cast iron columns used as floor supports in the former financial office building in Kwidzyn (Poland). The stocktaking drawings provided the general and detailed data about the 19th century designer’s decisions. During the research, architectural and structural analysis was carried out. The graphics were used as a starting material for preparing 3D calculation models. The FEM-based numerical simulations were conducted using ABAQUS software. It was shown that the selection of such a structural solution in the building allowed arranging the interior space in an innovative way. The results of the study prove the thesis put forward of a low application extent of the load-bearing capacity of cast iron column used.

Hydrotechnical structures are important components in water management system and general flooding safety. Their reliability should be ensured since potential damage might lead to catastrophic consequences. Weir gates are considered to be highly vulnerable elements of each hydro power plant, with regard to its dynamic resistance. The aim of the paper is to compare different numerical models and their influence on the results of a computational modal analysis of a steel radial gate. The investigation has been conducted for models using beam and shell elements, while assuring the same geometry, material properties and boundary conditions. The results of the comparative computational analysis indicate that the eigenmode shapes are similar for both models, while the corresponding eigenfrequencies are considerably different. These differences are important from the point of view of dynamic analysis, especially that the first eigenfrequency falls within the energy range typical for earthquakes and mining tremors.

The present paper summarizes the preliminary results of the experimental shaking table investigation conducted in order to verify the effectiveness of a new base isolation system consisting of Polymeric Bearings in reducing strong horizontal machine-induced vibrations. Polymeric Bearing considered in the present study is a prototype base isolation system, which was constructed with the use of a specially prepared flexible polymer with improved damping properties. Dynamic oscillatory tests, during which a concrete base slab supported by four Polymeric Bearings was subjected to horizonal sinusoidal excitations characterized by different frequencies and amplitudes, were conducted in order to determine the damping properties of Polymeric Bearings and their effectiveness in mitigating structural vibrations. Equivalent damping ratios for every excitation frequency considered were determined using the experimentally obtained hysteresis loops. Final conclusions are presented and the results discussed.

Eye tracking technology is often used in road safety research. Eye tracker are used during real and simulated driving to investigate driver’s behaviour. It is also used for assessing influence of new elements, like experimental road signs or road signs from different country, on driver’s behaviour and performance. However it should be noted that, the probability that the signs will be noticed cannot be solely assessed by eye tracking data. Therefore there is a need to complete the results with additional sources of data, eg questionnaire study. In the paper results of research concerning road signs perception carried out with 33 volunteers are presented. Twelve boards with different road situations in the form of photos taken from the driver's perspective were prepared. After the exposure, the volunteer answered questions about the memorized information presented on the road signs.

The fact that Organic Rankine cycle system is very promising technology in terms of electricity production using low grade heat sources, necessitates constant research in order to determine the best cycle configuration or choose the most suitable working fluid for certain application. In this paper, multi-objective optimization (MOO) approach has been applied in order to conduct an analysis that is to resolve if there is an influence of a mineralization of a geothermal water on an optimal evaporation temperature in ORC power plant with R1234yf as the working fluid.

Berman’s language superpositions and exotization vs Portugal, a comic book by Cyril Pedrosa The present article aims towards analysing three versions of a comic book Portugal by Cyril Pedrosa – original French and its translations into portuguese and polish – having in mind translation problems related with form (comic book) as well as with content. The analysis uses classic text deformative categories formulated by Antoine Berman. In course of analysis and interpretation of the translators’ choices we were able to show all the changes forced by specific language situation subsequent from the author’s creation of the plot situation.

About the Translation of Comic Books or theoretical and practical remarks about graphic translation Comics is a peculiar kind of text and therefore its peculiarity and otherness implies the formulation of theoretical translation determinants. Comics use their language to tell a story and at the same time they become a language. As a peculiar visual language, it forces the translator to deconstruct the units in order to translate given comics due to the graphic meanings of units, the sequence logic of the tale and word/image tension as well as other mutual tensions between components. This article formulates determinants of graphic translation theory on the example of comics and certain practical employment of those rules.

About comic book translation sessions or oral translation in a different way Oral translation can have many faces, mutations and varieties. Some of them may spring out from putting some texts into a new environment. What will happen to the comics if they are forced to speak with the voice of the very one who translated them? What will become of the units which give to the comics the form that we know? How the situation between the emissor and receptor can change while experiencing that kind of audio‑comics? Moreover, is it so that only comics can find themselves in such situation? These problems can be found in the article entitled About comic book translation sessions or oral translation in a different way. We try to prove that border oral translations can be starting points towards brave new areas of scientific interest in the oral translation field.
