O cotidiano fraturado em Aqui pasan cosas raras, de Luisa Valenzuela

IX Congresso Brasileiro de Hispanistas realizado nos dias 22 a 25 agosto 2016Nesta leitura de Aquí pasan cosas raras, de Luisa Valenzuela, analisamse os acontecimentos violentos e insanos que fraturam a vida cotidiana da gente comum, moradora de uma capital, que, em alguns dos relatos, é diretamente nomeada Buenos Aires. Surpreendidas pelo nonsense dos episódios orquestrados pelas forças policialescas dos promotores da chamada “Guerra sucia”, as personagens tentam sobreviver apesar do medo, da angústia, da insegurança, da “cuerda floja” em que têm de se equilibrar. Com ironia, humor negro, e jogos de palavras que caracterizam seu discurso, a contista mimetiza a estupefação produzida pelo efeitos da política imposta pela ditadura. Nos relatos “Aquí pasan cosas raras”, que dá título à compilação, “Los mejor calzados”, “Sursum corda” ou “El lugar de su quietud”, Valenzuela registra o silêncio imposto pelo autoritarismo, a inevitável autocensura do narrador e a imobilidade coletiva frente aos desmandos oficiais. As anotações de Luis Alberto Romero (2004) e de Francine Masiello (1987) sobre o “Proceso” na Argentina e de Andrea Parada (1999) sobre a revisão histórica estabelecida pelo discurso valenzuelano compõem a base da crítica para o trabalhoUNILA­-UNIOEST

A local variable model for entanglement swapping exploiting the detection loophole

In an entanglement swapping process two initially uncorrelated qubits become entangled, without any direct interaction. We present a model using local variables aiming at reproducing this remarkable process, under the realistic assumption of finite detection efficiencies. The model assumes that the local variables describing the two qubits are initially completely uncorrelated. Nevertheless, we show that once conditioned on the Bell measurement result, the local variables bear enough correlation to simulate quantum measurement results with correlation very close to the quantum prediction. When only a partial Bell measurement is simulated, as carried out is all experiments so far, then the model recovers analytically the quantum prediction.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Evaluation of Fresh Frozen Plasma Usage at the University Hospital Center Rijeka

The aim of this investigation was to assess the rate and appropriate use of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) at the Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka in two six-month periods, at an interval of 5 years, before and after introducing clinical standards for transfusion practice and hemovigilance, and to evaluate the results of applied measures. We studied 315 patients transfused with 1341 doses of FFP in two six-month periods from September to February of 1999/2000 and 2004/2005. The first period (1999/00) of the study was retrospective and 226 patients were transfused with 928 FFP units. The second period (2004/05) was prospective and we studied 89 patients transfused with 413 units. In the first period blood bank records were retrospectively reviewed and in the second period all FFP requests, performed coagulation tests and transfusion episodes were prospectively analyzed. The number of inappropriate transfusions decreased from 39.8% to 23.6%. In most patients (85.1%), coagulation tests were made prior to FFP transfusion. The number of patients transfused with one and two FFP doses decreased, while those transfused with three or more doses increased. Most of the appropriately transfused patients were those with active bleeding due to coagulation factor deficiency and massive transfusions. The least were those requiring reversal of warfarin effect. Our results demonstrated a decrease in the number of patients treated with FFP in the second period. The introduction of clinical standards of good transfusion practice and hemovigilance showed positive effects. Considering that there was a number of inappropriately transfused patients continued education of all health personnel engaged in transfusion treatment is evidently necessary

Conditions de travail et seniors : quelques expériences

"Connaissance de l'emploi" est une publication mensuelle du Centre d'études de l'emploi. Ce quatre pages valorise les travaux du Centre. Il constitue un support de synthèse éclairant une question d'actualité ou présentant un aspect particulier d'une recherche.Que se passe-t-il concrètement quand des entreprises cherchent à améliorer les conditions de travail ou prévenir la pénibilité, en lien avec les réflexions et négociations suscitées par la loi de 2008 sur l'emploi des seniors ? L'étude présentée s'efforce de répondre à cette question en se focalisant sur quatre initiatives, qui illustrent au mieux la diversité des solutions adoptées mais aussi des difficultés rencontrées en matière d'adaptation des conditions de travail aux seniors. L'amélioration des conditions de travail et la prévention de la pénibilité constituent un domaine d'action durablement investi par des entreprises conscientes de l'enjeu que constitue le maintien en emploi des seniors. L'étude souligne l'importance, pour les directions comme pour la réussite des actions menées, d'une connaissance fine des compétences des salariés et des conditions de réalisation des tâches, sans perdre de vue les performances et la compétitivité de l'entreprise ainsi que le cadre posé par la loi

Binary data corruption due to a Brownian agent

We introduce a model of binary data corruption induced by a Brownian agent (active random walker) on a d-dimensional lattice. A continuum formulation allows the exact calculation of several quantities related to the density of corrupted bits \rho; for example the mean of \rho, and the density-density correlation function. Excellent agreement is found with the results from numerical simulations. We also calculate the probability distribution of \rho in d=1, which is found to be log-normal, indicating that the system is governed by extreme fluctuations.Comment: 39 pages, 10 figures, RevTe

Área cultivada com agricultura orgânica no estado de São Paulo, 2004.

A pesquisa realizou um levantamento sobre a área cultivada com produtos orgânicos, de origem vegetal e animal, principais certificadoras e distribuidoras atuantes no Estado de São Paulo cujos dados foram informados pelas Casas de Agricultura em 2004. As informações dos municípios foram agregadas por Escritório de Desenvolvimento Rural (EDR) e por Região Administrativa (RA). A área cultivada de maneira orgânica no Estado de São Paulo foi de 10.234,8 hectares, sendo os principais produtos vegetais cultivados: cana-de-açúcar (73,0%), café (9,2%), hortaliças (8,8%) e frutas (7,8%). Os criadores com manejo orgânico (em número de 88) tiveram a apicultura como a principal atividade (62,8%), acompanhada dos produtores de: leite, ovos, carne de aves, carne bovina e peixe. Do total de 40 EDRs, foi verificado que em 26 deles existia agricultura orgânica (vegetal e animal) na época do levantamento. As informações obtidas, e principalmente os anexos, contêm estatísticas detalhadas e inéditas por produto e região sobre a produção agrícola orgânica no Estado de São Paulo e que são úteis para o agronegócio e formulação de políticas públicas
