As the area of artificial intelligence (AI) evolves and reaches new spaces, showing itself capable of promoting real changes in the way people interact, solve problems and make decisions, it becomes more urgent to make it predictable, responsible, and reliable. Thus, solutions for the values alignment (VA) in AI have been proposed in recent years. The present study proposes a model of artificial moral pedagogical agents (AMPA), adopting a top-down approach and the classic BDI model. In this article, we describe why the top-down approach is the best approach to educational grounds.

The sicklecell anemia is acknowledged as a global public health issue by the World Health Organization, associated to physiological and cognitive changes. In Brazil, there is a lack of neurocognitive research in sick children. This research assessed color vision in 20/20 acuity and with no peripheral retina lesions with normal controls. Saturated and desaturatedLanthony tests D15 were used to compare both groups. 134 children participated of this study within 6-11-year old age range.

Although the search information is the foundation of knowledge, a large amount of information without treatment and classification can make it harder to find instead of easier. Several tools are used to prevent this problem. This paper uses a bibliometric approach to the analysis of books published in the last few decades related to the subject of probability, applied probability and probability problems. First, we present historical aspects and rules of a bibliometrics, then a practical application.

This article aims to demonstrate the importance of hospital pedagogy as a field of knowledge and the need of the professional of this field, the hospital pedagogue, to act in the scope of the multiprofessional health team, not only as a doctor, psychologist or nurse, but as an educator/teacher who makes the teaching-learning process possible in peculiar circumstances in which the ill schoolchild is inserted.

Myrcia guianensis (Aubl.) DC., a species belonging to the Myrtaceae family, is an endemic plant in tropical areas used by communities in Legal Amazon to treat diarrhea and uterine infections. Although about its medicinal use, there is no description in the literature of biological activities nor determination of components of the essential oil of this species from that Cerrado biome. The present study aimed to perform chemical, biological and toxicity analysis of the essential oil (EO) of the leaves of Myrcia guianensis harvested from Legal Amazon.

The disorder between beneficial microorganisms and pathogens generates dysbiosis. Probiotics balance the environment and demonstrate efficacy in the prevention and treatment of neoplasms. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the probiotics Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, isolated or combined, on the carcinogenic effect induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in rats. Six different experimental groups were used, containing six animals each, and the treatment occurred for six weeks.

Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious about the food they buy, and with this comes the necessity for more information about food quality and safety.

Sexuality involves all human actions, which means to understand such concept differently from those offered by biology and anthropology. Annie Proulx’s short story, Brokeback Mountain was an icon of male homosexual identity even before its film’s adaptation. As language constitutes reality, the representation of what we are is evoked through our discourses. The dialogue between psychoanalysis and linguistics constitute the methodology of this study.

Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a maturidade tecnológica da plataforma de computação quântica Q System One, projetada e disponibilizada ao público pela IBM, por meio da escala QTRL, criada pelo JülichSupercomputing Centre. Para tal, por meio de revisão teórica, buscou-se analisar as definições, vantagens e desvantagens da escala TRL, originalmente proposta pela NASA, bem como da computação quântica. Também foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases Scopus e Web of Science em busca de trabalhos relacionados à tecnologia Q System One.

A obesidade vem se tornando uma das maiores aflições da saúde pública por sua relação direta com doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Em algumas pesquisas a Curcuma longa L. tem-se mostrado eficaz para o tratamento de doenças inflamatórias. O objetivo desse estudo é a associação benéfica da Curcuma longa L. a uma alimentação saudável no tratamento da obesidade. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com apoio da análise documental de Bardin. Os descritores utilizados para busca de literaturas foram: [obesidade], [cúrcuma longa], [alimento funcional] e [inflamação].
