O objetivo aqui é apresentar uma resenha do volume 14 dos Collected Papers of Albert Einstein (CP 14), que contém os escritos científicos e cartas de Einstein do período de 1923 a 1925 e que comemoram agora seu centenário, limitando-nos à parte que se refere à história da física no Brasil: sua viagem ao país, ocorrida em 1925.

Se describen a los micro-papers como formatos novedosos e incipientes para la difusión del conocimiento científico, tanto en revistas científicas como a través de otros métodos nativos del Internet (repositorios, blogs, etcétera). Planteamos la importancia de la utilización de este formato reducido de comunicación de la ciencia para transmitir ciertos tipos de hallazgos, pues presenta una condensación de la información básica en un documento breve, de fácil lectura y con amplia audiencia, sin perder la calidad propia de los trabajos científicos revisados. Para ello, se realiza un estudio descriptivo de carácter exploratorio por medio de una revisión bibliográfica que ahonda en su uso actual y experiencias previas. Concluimos que su viabilidad para la difusión de contenidos científicos concretos busca la agilidad, sin que ello implique la pérdida de la calidad en la difusión científica.

This paper presents the initial findings of a qualitative study investigating the relationship between ethics and education in Italian preschool settings. The research employs the methodology of Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) to emphasise the indispensable role of promoting ethical awareness in early childhood education. The preliminary results from the interpretation of intensive interviews with preschool teachers indicate that the structuring of ethically significant educational experiences can be a factor in the growth of ethical awareness. From a theoretical and practical perspective, the study posits that stimulating ethical awareness from early childhood can prevent the rise of an increasingly widespread phenomenon: ethical illiteracy.

APPLICATION OF MASS SPECTROMETRY WITH PAPER SPRAY IONIZATION AND THE OPLS-DA CHEMOMETRIC METHOD FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF PROSTATE CANCER BY ANALYSIS OF URINE SAMPLES. In this study, paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-MS) allied to orthogonal projections on the latent structure-discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) was employed to differentiate urine samples from patients with prostate cancer and control individuals (without prostate cancer). The parameters of sensitivity, specificity, efficiency and Matthew’s correlation coefficient determined to analyze the efficiency and quality of the OPLS-DA model obtained a value equal to 1, which means, respectively, that the model has a good performance to correctly classify true positive samples and true negatives. These results showed 100% correct classification of the samples from the training and test set, demonstrating a high efficiency of the OPLS-DA model when classifying all samples considered as belonging to the class of interest (urine from control patient) into class 1 and all samples considered as belonging to the non-interest class (urine from patients with prostate cancer) in class 0. This efficiency resulting from the application of this model suggests that the PSI-MS combined to OPLS-DA is a promisor approach for a rapid diagnosis of prostate cancer, via chemical fingerprints of urine samples.

Este volume surge como consequência direta do Simpósio internacional PAPER TRAILS: post-industrial histories, technical memories and art practices in Tomar que teve lugar em Tomar (Portugal) entre 25 e 27 de maio de 2022. Por sua vez, o simpósio insere-se num projeto homónimo concebido, em parceria com colaboradoras da École de Design et Haute École d’Art du Valais (EDHEA), no Centro de Tecnologia, Restauro e Valorização das Artes (TECHN&ART), uma unidade de Investigação e Desenvolvimento financiada pela Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) com a referência UID/05488/2020 e pertencente ao Instituto Politécnico de Tomar (IPT).

Se trata de exploraciones esenciales en torno al papel, su textura y las relaciones originadas a partir de su recorte y superposición en capas. Son obras minimalistas en su técnica que despliegan paisajes de formas plegadas y laminadas con profundidad y equilibrio que parten también del imaginario personal sobre la arquitectura. Las composiciones tienen un formato de 21x21 cm. Las mismas reglas operan en todas ellas: el orden y el número de capas, colores, etc., pero se recombinan en cada pieza de forma diferente. Las capas de papel se separan entre sí a unas distancias concretas y se unen de forma solidaria sólo por una pestaña en la parte superior, lo que permite una cierta libertad y tolerancia en la separación entre ellas, de forma que la percepción puede variar levemente en función del plegado o la curvatura del papel, incluso de las condiciones de humedad y atmosféricas.

This study analyzes the process of productive specialization of the work in Maranhão, through the advance triggered by the implementation of the manufacturing unit of Suzano Paper and Cellulose in the municipality of Empress, southwest of the state. Methodologically, in addition to reviewing the relevant literature, secondary data on transformations in local employment and local professional qualifications derived from the implementation of Suzano were used together with field research. The data used originate from RAIS; CAGED; IBGE, in addition to technical schools and local universities. The results found made it possible to verify that there is a specialization of the workforce in progress to meet the logic and full functioning of the pulp production chain in Imperatriz - MA.

Global warming is a result of the increased emission of greenhouse gases. The consequences of this climate change threaten society, biodiversity, food and resource availability. The consequences include an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease and cardiovascular mortality.In this position paper, we summarize the data from the main studies that assess the risks of a temperature increase or heat waves in CV events (CV mortality, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and CV hospitalizations), as well as the data concerning air pollution as an enhancer of temperature-related CV risks. The data currently support global warming/heat waves (extreme temperatures) as cardiovascular threats. Achieving neutrality in emissions to prevent global warming is essential and it is likely to have an effect in the global health, including the cardiovascular health. Simultaneously, urgent steps are required to adapt the society and individuals to this new climatic context that is potentially harmful for cardiovascular health. Multidisciplinary teams should plan and intervene healthcare related to temperature changes and heat waves and advocate for a change in environmental health policy. Resumo: O aquecimento global é uma das consequências do aumento da emissão de gases com efeito de estufa. Essa consequência das alterações climáticas é uma ameaça à sociedade, à biodiversidade e à disponibilidade de recursos e alimentos. As consequências para a saúde do aquecimento global incluem o aumento do risco de doenças cardiovasculares (CV) e da mortalidade cardiovascular.Neste position paper resumimos os dados dos principais estudos que avaliam o risco do aumento de temperatura ou a exposição a ondas de calor nos eventos CV (mortalidade CV, enfarte do miocárdio, insuficiência cardíaca, acidente vascular cerebral e hospitalizações CV), assim como os dados relativos à poluição do ar como um potenciador dos riscos de eventos CV relacionados com o aumento da temperatura. Os dados atualmente disponíveis confirmam que o aquecimento global e as ondas de calor (temperaturas extremas) são ameaças cardiovasculares. Nesse contexto, a neutralidade nas emissões deve ser um objectivo prioritário, de modo a reduzir o aquecimento global e, desse modo, reduzir o seu impacto na saúde global, inclusive a saúde cardiovascular. Simultaneamente, deverão ser empregues medidas urgentes de adaptação setorial ao novo contexto climático, potencialmente mais nefasto para a saúde cardiovascular. Equipes multidisciplinares devem planear e intervir nos cuidados de saúde relacionados com o calor e discutir as políticas de saúde relacionadas com o ambiente.

The field of Cardio-Oncology has grown significantly, especially during the last decade. While awareness of cardiotoxicity due to cancer disease and/or therapies has greatly increased, much of the attention has focused on myocardial systolic disfunction and heart failure. However, coronary and structural heart disease are also a common issue in cancer patients and encompass the full spectrum of cardiotoxicity. While invasive percutaneous or surgical intervention, either is often needed or considered in cancer patients, limited evidence or guidelines are available for dealing with coronary or structural heart disease. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions consensus document published in 2016 is the most comprehensive document regarding this particular issue, but relevant evidence has emerged since, which render some of its considerations outdated. In addition to that, the recent 2022 ESC Guidelines on Cardio-Oncology only briefly discuss this topic.As a result, the Portuguese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and the Cardio-Oncology Study Group of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology have partnered to produce a position paper to address the issue of cardiac intervention in cancer patients, focusing on percutaneous techniques. A brief review of available evidence is provided, followed by practical considerations. These are based both on the literature as well as accumulated experience with these types of patients, as the authors are either interventional cardiologists, cardiologists with experience in the field of Cardio-Oncology, or both. Resumo: A Cardio-Oncologia cresceu consideravelmente, particularmente ao longo da última década. Não obstante o aumento de sensibilização relativamente à cardiotoxicidade secundária ao cancro e/ou a terapêuticas oncológicas, muita da atenção tem-se focado na disfunção sistólica e insuficiência cardíaca. Todavia, a doença coronária e estrutural cardíaca representam também um desafio comum em doentes oncológicos, fazendo assim parte do abrangente conceito de Cardio-Oncologia. Apesar da necessidade de intervenção invasiva, percutânea ou cirúrgica ser frequentemente necessária ou considerada em doentes com cancro, é escassa a evidência ou recomendações relativas à doença coronária ou estrutural neste subgrupo. O documento de consenso da Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, publicado em 2016, é a referência mais completa relativamente a esta problemática. Contudo, alguma evidência que entretanto surgiu torna necessária uma atualização. Adicionalmente, as recentes recomendações de 2022 em Cardio-Oncologia da Sociedade Europeia de Cardiologia abordam este assunto somente de forma muito sucinta.Por este motivo, a Associação Portuguesa de Intervenção Cardiovascular e o Grupo de Estudos de Cardio-Oncologia associaram-se para produzir um Artigo de Posição sobre Intervenção Cardíaca em doentes com cancro, com foco nas técnicas percutâneas. Procedeu-se a uma breve revisão da literatura, seguida de considerações práticas. Estas baseiam-se na evidência disponível, bem como na experiência acumulada dos autores, que são Cardiologistas de Intervenção, Cardiologistas dedicados à área da Cardio-Oncologia, ou ambos.

During the recycling of a cardboard box in the shape of a right prism with a square base to build a tetrahedron, there was the curious coincidence that the height of the first was equal to the inclined height of the second. After some bending and cutting on the prism, its dynamic conversion to the tetrahedron and vice versa was achieved. This fact motivated us to carry out a study on the meaningful learning of a small group of participants (N = 10) with minimum primary school education, regarding the volume of these two common geometric bodies. It was found that 70 % of the study population thought that the volumes were equal and that 100 % had forgotten the formula to calculate the volume of the tetrahedron. A template to build the model and a video to illustrate the mentioned transformation process are also presented.

In recent years, technological development in analytical instrumentation has progressed vigorously, which has allowed the evolution of analytical techniques that play an indispensable role within society, highlighting mass spectrometry. Parallel to the technological advance of this technique, the development of new ionization methods that are simpler, faster, and allow direct analysis without the need for prior treatment or sample processing is underway. The methods of ambient ionization derived from paper spray have been developing rapidly in current days, mainly in the forensic field, due to the chemical modifications made in the paper substrate and the introduction of new types of organic materials that function as a probe/substrate to collect, store, and ionize the sample, then enabling more efficient and selective analyzes. This review highlights direct analyzes by applying paper spray ionization in the forensic field and some variations of this technique, including Thread Spray Ionization (TSI) when a fabric thread is used; Touch Spray Ionization (TSI), which uses materials such as metallic needles, medical swabs, and wooden sticks; Fiber Spray Ionization (FSI), which applies polymeric fibers as substrates.

As in other countries, In Brazil, new genetic materials of Eucalyptus spp. and their hybrids are multiplied through cloning. These materials, currently in experimental trials, must undergo several stages to select the best ones for pulp and paper production. Therefore, new studies on wood quality are essential. Therefore, this study aimed to group 11 clones of Eucalyptus spp. wood, from a clonal plantation in the municipality of Palmital, São Paulo State, for the production of paper and cellulose. For this purpose, four trees of each clone of 4-year-old Eucalyptus spp. were collected. From each tree, a log of 1 m in length was taken from the base of the tree, for the study of the characterization of the basic density and cellular dimensions of the wood. The results showed that there were significant differences between clones for basic density, fiber length, vessel element length and fiber wall thickness. The Runkel ratio, wall fraction and stiffness coefficient did not show significant differences between the different genotypes. From the results obtained, we can conclude that clones can be differentiated only by basic density, fiber length, vessel element length and fiber wall thickness. The Runkel index, flexibility coefficient and wall fraction of Eucalyptus spp. were more efficient to group the clones into two groups.
