El problema que William Molyneux planteó a la comunidad filosófica en 1688 (las capacidades sensoriales de un ciego que de pronto adquiere la visión) tuvo amplia resonancia para el análisis filosófico del tema de la percepción. Dicho problema alimentó la discusión entre diversos filósofos, conduciéndolos a tomar diferentes posiciones, como me interesa mostrarlo aquí. En este trabajo estudio el papel del ciego que adquiere la visión según la versión berkeleyana, la cual traslada al personaje desde el terreno de la psicologia experimental y de la epistemología, al metafísico. A su vez, Berkeley advierte la gran riqueza heurística del personaje que aprovecha en su obra Ensayo de una nueva teoría de la visión. Como se verá, el problema de Molyneux fue fundamental para el desarrollo del pensamiento berkeleyano.
Palabras clav

Heinrich Zangger, 1874-1957, an eminent professor of forensic medicine at the University of Zurich, was a scientist with far ranging interests in many fields. In the course of his own research in physics, he became a close friend of Albert Einstein. When a chair in physics at his university or the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) was to be filled, Zangger was frequently actively involved in the search for a candidate. In particular, he engaged himself strongly, and in unconventional ways, in order to have Einstein appointed as professor at the ETH in 1912.

OBJETIVO: A fim de simplificar a utilização das tabelas correspondentes aos fatores de qualidade no TRS-398 da International Atomic Energy Agency na calibração cruzada da câmara de placas paralelas por comparação com uma câmara cilíndrica calibrada em um feixe de elétrons de qualidade Qcross, é introduzida uma energia intermediária e arbitrária Qint na qual a câmara de placas paralelas deverá ser calibrada. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em avaliar a escolha desta energia intermediária. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Uma câmara de placas paralelas da Scanditronix, modelo NACP-02, e uma câmara PTW Markus foram calibradas em dois aceleradores lineares da Varian, Clinac 2100C e Clinac 23EX, nas energias de 16 e 20 MeV, respectivamente. Como câmara de referência foi utilizada uma câmara da Nuclear Enterprises, modelo 2571, previamente calibrada em termos de Dw no Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares, para um feixe de 60Co. RESULTADOS: Os fatores de calibração N D,w assim obtidos apresentam uma variação de 0,07%, o que pode ser considerado desprezível. Os valores de dose absorvida na água determinados no Clinac 2100C para uma Qint de 16 MeV apresentam uma variação de 0,04% para a menor energia (4 MeV) e de 2,6% para a maior energia (16 MeV), em relação ao protocolo TRS-381. Já para uma Qint de 20 MeV, as variações observadas são de 1,3% e 3,5%. Por outro lado, as doses determinadas no Clinac 23EX para as Qint de 16 MeV e de 20 MeV são de 1,9% e 2,0% e de 2,8% e 3,0%, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: A escolha de Qint não é tão crítica assim, principalmente quando não de dispõem de feixes de elétrons que tenham na prática um valor de R50 exatamente igual a 7,5 g.cm-2.

Full textAbstract:
In simple terms, gravitational waves are ripples in space-time caused by energetic processes in the Universe, such as the movement of mass. One of the exciting things about them is that they can be used to observe systems that are basically impossible to detect using other means. These ripples were predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago, but it wasn't until 2016 that scientists announced, for the first time, the detection of gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is the physics experiment responsible for this detection and it has since continued to make a significant impact in the field. LIGO collaborates closely with the Virgo interferometer; a large interferometer designed to detect gravitational waves, and the Japanese Gravitational Wave Detector in Kamioka Mine (KAGRA), the Large Scale Cryogenic Gravitational Wave Telescope; a project of the gravitational wave studies group led by the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research of The University of Tokyo. But there still remain many unknowns, such as challenges related to the data analysis of gravitational waves. Professor Hirotaka Takahashi is carrying out research on gravitational waves that is attempting to address these challenges by developing algorithms that can dramatically increase the speed and efficiency of gravitational wave searches, which he believes are currently insufficient. Takahashi is a member of the KAGRA collaboration, which, as of March 2020, consists of more than 390 researchers from 90 institutions in 14 countries and regions.

Introdução: Nos últimos anos tem havido um crescente interesse na investigação dos efeitos práticas de meditação na saúde mental e física. De alguma maneira, as habilidades treinadas durante as práticas meditativas, como o treinamento da atenção focada em um objeto específico, ou a monitoração dos padrões de pensamentos e emoções age modificando o funcionamento e a estrutura cerebrais. Recentemente, trabalhos na área de neuroimagem tem ajudado a elucidar possíveis mecanismo de ação das práticas meditativas no cérebro. Objetivo: revisar na literatura os estudos mais recentes sobre os efeitos da prática de meditação no cérebro e apresentar resultados de um protocolo com ressonância magnética funcional (fMRI) desenvolvido no Instituto do Cérebro do Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (InCe-HIAE) sobre os efeitos da meditação na atenção. Método: revisão sobre estudos de neuroimagem funcional e estrutural e avaliação por fMRI de 39 sujeitos, 20 meditadores que realizam a prática há pelo menos 3 anos, por 3 vezes por semana e 20 sujeitos inexperientes em meditação. Resultados: estudos recentes têm mostrado alterações funcionais resultantes da prática de meditação, na atividade cerebral, bem como na estrutura do cérebro, como a espessura de áreas corticais. Nossos resultados preliminares corroboram com estes dados, mostrando que sujeitos que praticam meditação regularmente precisam recrutar menos áreas cerebrais, em especial frontais, do que pessoas inexperientes em meditação para ter o mesmo desempenho em uma tarefa atencional (o Stroop Word-Color Task). Conclusão: a prática de meditação pode trazer mudanças não apenas psicológicas, como mostram boa parte dos estudos, mas também modificações na fisiologia e anatomia cerebrais. Nosso estudo preliminar no InCe-HIAE indica que pessoas que praticam meditação regularmente podem apresentar um cérebro mais eficiente no desempenho de uma tarefa de atenção.

CONTEXT: Intrauterine growth curves are extremely useful for classifying newborn children and predicting neonatal diseases. However, such curves rely on knowledge of the gestational age, which is not always easily obtained. Therefore, the study of other anthropometric measurements and their interrelationship is always desirable, in order to attain such objectives. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether newborns' birth weight and length can identify neonatal diseases, independent of knowledge of the gestational age. TYPE OF STUDY: Retrospective study. SETTING: Institute of Teaching and Research of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS: During the period from February 1995 to January 1998, 8,397 live newborns were studied in the hospital's maternity ward. PROCEDURES: The weight and length of live newborns were obtained at birth, thus allowing the analysis of weight-for-length adequacy, i.e. the distribution of birth weight for each class of birth lenght. These measurements were determined for the first 4,634 live newborns and the 10th and 90th percentiles were established. These parameters were applied to the next 3,763 consecutive newborns of the same population. The relationships between these variables and some neonatal diseases were investigated. The significance level adopted was p < 0.05. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Birth weight and length, weight-for-length adequacy (10th and 90th percentiles for weight distribution in each 1-cm length class), weight/length index (10th and 90th percentiles of newborn's weight divided by the length) and frequent neonatal diseases in this population. RESULTS: There was a significant association of adequacy and index with the following affections: asphyxia, jaundice, hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, congenital pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension and sepsis. Additionally, there was a relationship between the index and respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea and persistent ductus arteriosus. CONCLUSIONS: Weight-for-length adequacy and weight/length index alone, without the knowledge of gestational age, were able to identify newborns at risk for some selected neonatal diseases.

Abstract Introduction: Patients undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation(HSCT) may have low vitamin D (VD) level because of decreased exposure to sunlight, the major cause of VD Deficiency (VDD), from prolonged hospital stays, limited outdoor activity, and sunscreen use, and decreased oral intake caused by gastrointestinal treatment toxicity. Besides that gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) limit absorption of VD. Some medications received during the HSCT can increased the VD catabolism, and alterate renal and kidney function. Objectives: To evaluate the reduction of number of patients with VD Deficiency in patients undergoing HSCT after educational classes for the multi-professional team (physicians, dietitians and nurses). Methods: We analyzed 72 patients undergoing HSCT May 2012 to January 2014 in the Hematology-Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation Center at Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. The serum levels of vitamin were measured in the first day of hospitalization of the patients adults (>= 18 years) who would be undergoing HSCT. All types of HSCT patients were included.We used in our study the VDD was defined and recommended by the Institute of Medicine as a 25(OH)D <=20 ng/ml, VD insufficiency of 21-29 ng/ml, and VD normal >=30 ng/ml.In the 2012 the multi-professional HSCT Team had 3 classes about VD and, everyone were informes about the VD research protocol. Results: 72 adult patients were observed in this study, aged between 18 and 74 years, with the majority (77.8%) with less than 65 years. Of the total, 59.7% were men and 41.7% had normal body mass index. 100% of the lymphoma patients had VDD. In 2012(n:33), 60% patients had VDD and in 2013 (n:39), 40% (p<0,05). Conclusions: When all of members of HSCT team were informed about the benefits of high VD levels in patients undergoing HSCT by classes and research protocol, we can reduce VDD. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Previous issue date: 2008-08-25The present aging scenario brings about the need to adapt society to meet particularities of the individuals involved in this stage of the vital cycle. In Brazil the aging population has been growing considerably and the alternatives of assistance and resources for such population are still deficient. Families are seldom prepared to face the aging process of their relatives and, especially because of difficulties related to finances and home care, they eventually choose institutions. Living at a long term care institution can be the very elder s choice seeking to preserve their selves and their belongings so as to keep their life history alive. The natural aging process brings along numerous changes, with the loss or slowering of body response. Pathology prevention and symptom minimization allow aging people to attain a better quality of life, and various segments are assigned this task geriatric and gerontologic multidisciplinary teams, among them. Among the problems aging people face, the falls are relevant and worrying because of their consequences. Because falls are frequent and can bring injuries to the elderly, the present study gathered institutional fall protocols from the residents of the Residencial Israelita Albert Einstein who were involved in falls during a pre-established period and analyzed the number of falls, the form of their occurrence and who were involved in this type of event with the purpose of preventing new episodes as well as providing post-fall assistance
O atual cenário do envelhecimento traz consigo a necessidade de adaptação da sociedade visando atender as particularidades dos indivíduos envolvidos nessa etapa do ciclo vital. No Brasil o número de idosos tem crescido consideravelmente e as opções de assistência e recursos que prestam atendimento a essa população ainda encontram-se deficientes. As famílias muitas vezes não estão preparadas para enfrentar o processo de envelhecimento de seus entes e diante das dificuldades que podem ser de vários motivos entre eles de natureza financeira ou deficiência para prestar assistência ao idoso em suas residências, acabam por buscar a institucionalização. A opção de morar em uma instituição de longa permanência pode partir do próprio idoso que busca nesta nova moradia poder preservar um pouco do seu eu e mediante a presença de alguns pertences pessoais manter viva a sua história de vida. O processo de envelhecimento natural é acompanhado de inúmeras alterações que levam a perda ou diminuição da capacidade de resposta do organismo. A prevenção para as patologias que possam vir a surgir e a minimização dos sintomas decorrentes desse processo possibilitam ao idoso uma melhor qualidade de vida, cabendo esse trabalho a vários seguimentos que atuam na velhice entre eles a equipe multidisciplinar geriátrica e gerontológica. Inúmeras são as complicações que podem acometer o idoso entre elas as quedas ocupam um papel importante e preocupante pelas conseqüências desastrosas que podem deixar. Por ser um evento não pouco freqüente e que pode trazer vários danos ao idoso o presente estudo reuniu protocolos de quedas institucionais dos moradores do Residencial Israelita Albert Einstein que estiveram envolvidos em queda em período pré-estabelecido, e procurou analisar o número de quedas, como ocorrem e quem são os idosos envolvidos nesse tipo de evento, buscando contribuir na prevenção de novos episódios assim como na assistência pós-queda

Orientação : António Augusto CostaA presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a visão de professores e alunos quanto à gestão de qualidade no Instituto de Educação Integrada Albert Einstein. Para tanto utilizamos a abordagem quanti-qualitativa, realizando um estudo de caso, partindo de uma análise bibliográfica, que trazem o debate sobre a gestão de qualidade, onde utilizou-se de um questionário, trabalhando os dados obtidos por meio da análise de conteúdo. O estudo baseouse em uma população de 18 professores e 300 alunos onde foram entrevistados 10 docentes e 35 discentes do curso Técnico de Enfermagem. O instrumento de pesquisa foi composto por 21 questões para os professores e 13 questões para os alunos. Os resultados encontrados na pesquisa indicam que a instituição possui um Projeto Político Pedagógico e apresenta objetivos, planos e metas, porém, estes não são evidenciados pela comunidade acadêmica. Conclui-se que a visão dos envolvidos na pesquisa é um importante meio para se avaliar e melhorar a qualidade dos serviços educacionais. Assim, em função dos resultados obtidos, compete aos gestores da instituição estudada focar sua atenção nos pontos críticos a fim de reduzi-los, potencializando os aspectos que tem visão positiva por parte dos professores e alunos.
This research aims to analyze the teachers and students view as to the quality of management at the Institute for Integrated Education Albert Einstein. For this we use the quantitative and qualitative approach, performing a case study, based on a literature review, bringing the debate on the quality of management, where we used a questionnaire, working the data through content analysis. The study was based on a population of 18 teachers and 300 students were interviewed 10 teachers and 35 students of the course Practical Nursing. The research instrument consisted of 21 questions for teachers and 13 questions for students. The results in the survey indicate that the institution has a Pedagogical Political Project and presents objectives, plans and goals, but these are not evidenced by the academic community. We conclude that the vision of those involved in research is an important way to evaluate and improve the quality of educational services. Thus, depending on the results obtained, it is for the institution studied managers focus their attention on critical points in order to reduce them, strengthening the aspects that have positive view on the part of teachers and students.

Chapter 7 describes how Lorentz agreed to head the Physisch Kabinet of Teylers Foundation in Haarlem, including some background on Teylers, Haarlem, and Lorentz’s activities there. The scholarly as well as personal relationship between Lorentz and Einstein is also discussed, as well as Lorentz’s role in the first Solvay Conseil de Physique and the Solvay Institute and the search for Lorentz’s successor in Leiden; in particular, the attempts to interest Albert Einstein. Once Einstein had refused, Lorentz approached the Austrian physicist Paul Ehrenfest, whose appointment is described in detail. In 1912, Lorentz moved to Haarlem, while he continued to lecture in Leiden and attend to his national and international contacts. Eherenfest’s succession was successful, but mood swings and a sense of inadequacy increasingly made it impossible for him to withstand the professional pressures, and eventually he committed suicide in 1933.

This chapter reviews Esther Lederberg’s life in music. Researchers who study multiple intelligences have observed an overlap between musical and linguistic intelligence. Esther Lederberg’s mastery of foreign languages would have given her confidence to independently master the recorder. Her enthusiasm for music resonated with her French colleagues, Jacob and Monod, at the Institut Pasteur. Probably the most famous musician/scientist of the twentieth century was Albert Einstein, who admitted that if he hadn’t become a physicist, he would have become a musician. In the 1960s, Early Music—of the Renaissance and Baroque eras—enjoyed an international revival. In 1962, Esther Lederberg and some like-minded amateur musicians founded the Mid-Peninsula Recorder Orchestra (MPRO). She performed with the MPRO for over forty years. This shift in her social circle marked a new phase of personal growth toward music and the arts. Drawn together by a shared passion for music, Matthew Simon and Esther Lederberg married in 1993.

We’re standing by the observatory at the top of the Telegrafenberg (Telegraph Hill) in the German city of Potsdam. The neoclassical building towers over its surroundings. The hill is situated in the former German Democratic Republic, close to the place where the Berlin Wall once stood. Through the slight haze, we can make out the contours of Berlin and the smoking chimneys of power stations. To our right is another hill, the Teufelsberg, with an American listening post as a relic of the cold war. Successive kaisers developed the Telegraph Hill in the nineteenth century, building a community of leading scientists there. Karl Schwarzschild used the telescope to produce his star catalog, the first in the world, while in the basement of the same building some 30 years earlier, Albert Michelson had studied light, measuring its speed and identifying certain inexplicable characteristics in the process. Albert Einstein worked here, too, basing his special theory of relativity on Michelson’s discoveries. “Fundamental natural phenomena have been isolated at this place,” says Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, which now occupies the brow of the Telegraph Hill. “For many years, scientists have withdrawn to the quiet of this hill to develop their ideas. My task today is to reverse that movement: Rather than isolating it, we want to bring knowledge together. And instead of withdrawing from the world, we have to engage with it—to make clear to people just where our climate is headed.” Schellnhuber has thrown himself into that task with considerable verve. He has been discussing scientific issues with German chancellor Angela Merkel, for instance. He knows that his climate message is a complex one, which is why Schellnhuber avoids statistically detailed predictions and focuses instead on a number of crucial “tipping points.” “How much change can the earth sustain? Can we afford to allow the West African monsoon to collapse? Or the Himalayan glaciers to melt away? Will we be able to preserve the ice in the Antarctic? What happens if the Amazon rainforest disappears?”
