Voinha’s Backyard (Quintal de Voinha)To my maternal grandmother Voinha, whose love kept me alive throughout the years.In December 2022 I went back to my maternal grandmother Voinha’s first address in Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, the same place where we had last met in September 2018, when I recorded an interview to investigate the reasons behind her decision to leave Belém in 1945. Voinha passed a

Two-view homography estimation is a classic and fundamental problem in computer vision. While conceptually simple, the problem quickly becomes challenging when multiple planes are visible in the image pair. Even with correct matches, each individual plane (homography) might have a very low number of inliers when comparing to the set of all correspondences. In practice, this requires a large number

Background: There is a growing awareness of constipation being a side effect of anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). This study aims to assess constipation as a side effect and explore its potential role as a predictor of treatment response in chronic migraine (CM) patients treated with anti-CGRP mAbs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pati

Participated with two works in part 2: What if Women Ruled the World (2016) and Two Minutes to Midnight (2021). From December 2023 to January 2025, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMΣT) presents a cycle of exhibitions, in four parts, exclusively dedicated to the work of women artists or artists who identify as female, under the broader umbrella title, What if Women Ruled the World? Initia

Several processes studied by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider produce low-momentum Formula Presented-flavored hadrons in the final state. This paper describes the calibration of a dedicated tagging algorithm that identifies Formula Presented-flavored hadrons outside of hadronic jets by reconstructing the soft secondary vertices originating from their decays. The calibration is bas

Group exhibition. Participated with the work Light to the Nations .Will the sky fall on our heads one day? Meteorites have a magical attraction, but at the same time they fuel age-old fears. Whereas in the Middle Ages they were regarded as divine signs and ominous devil’s stones, today people fear a natural disaster: a meteorite impact that could wipe out our civilisation. Perhaps not such a far-f

Microplastics remain already ubiquitous in water environments, interacting and acting as vectors of several contaminants, including endocrine disrupting compounds. Consequently, it is essential to understand the interaction mechanisms between contaminants and microplastics and know possible factors that can influence this process. This study evaluated estriol (E3) sorption on pristine and degraded

This study investigated the presence of MPs in three species of bivalves cultivated in Brazil: Crassostrea gigas, Perna perna, and Nodipecten nodosus. Our hypothesis was that the different structures and plastic materials used in the cultivation of these bivalves could serve as a contributing source of MPs. Our results showed the presence of MPs in all species, with C. gigas showing the highest le

Abstract in PolishW latach 1945–1946 dziewięcioro byłych polskich więźniów niemieckich obozów koncentracyjnych (jedna osoba pochodzenia żydowskiego i osiem nieżydowskiego) przebywających na prawach uchodźców w Szwecji otrzymało zadanie spisania doświadczeń wojennych i prześladowań innych Polaków pochodzenia żydowskiego i nieżydowskiego dla potrzeb historii i sprawiedliwości. Choć żadna z tych osóbIn 1945–1946, nine Polish former prisoners of Nazi concentration camps (one Jewish and eight non-Jewish) living in Sweden as refugees were employed to record other Jewish and non-Jewish Poles’ experiences of persecution for history and justice. Although none of these individuals were psychologists, they believed recording the psychological aspects of witnessing was essential to their documentation

The production of single top quarks and top antiquarks via the t-channel exchange of a virtual W boson is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC using 140 fb−1 of ATLAS data. The total cross-sections are determined to be σtq=137−8+8 pb and σt¯q=84−5+6 pb for top-quark and top-antiquark production, respectively. The combined cross-section is found to be

This Letter presents the most precise measurement to date of the matter-antimatter imbalance at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV. Using the Statistical Hadronization framework, it is possible to obtain the value of the electric charge and baryon chemical potentials, μQ=-0.18±0.90 MeV and μB=0.71±0.45 MeV, with unprecedented precision. A centr

This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of various wireless networks for Teleoperated Driving (ToD) applications, focusing on a hoverboard as a test vehicle. The study compares end-To-end delay and jitter across five network setups: A private 5 G network, a wireless LAN, a public LTEA network, and two wireless CANs, based on the service level requirements outlined by the 5G Automotive Assoc

Background: The diagnosis of monogenic obesity is burdened by frequent variants of uncertain significance (VUS). We describe our real-life approach of variant reassessment over time and we assess whether inconclusive variants are decreasing in monogenic obesity. Methods: We tested for monogenic obesity (genes: LEPR, POMC, ADCY3, PCSK1, CARTPT, SIM1, MRAP2, LEP, NTRK2, BDNF, KSR2, MAGEL2, SH2B1, MC

Investigating Li-ion batteries during high current rates is becoming increasingly important to advance fast charging of electric vehicles. Here, we use a state-of-the-art synchrotron instrument and detector to measure spatially resolved X-ray diffraction in operando on single-layer pouch cells at 1C and 3C. Using batch refinement on the hundreds of thousands of obtained diffractograms, the electro

Real wages are a convenient, useful, and powerful way to learn how life was like in the past. In this chapter we start by reviewing the methodology behind real wage estimations and their history. Then we look at the how real wages have contributed to shedding light on major issues in economic history such as the onset of modern economic growth, the Great Divergence, and colonialism in the Americas

Om kriget kommer eller en ny pandemi bryter ut har landets lärosäten både kompetens och kunskaper för att stötta samhället. Ändå har lärosätena lyst med sin frånvaro i samhällsdebatten. Det är hög tid att börja prata om hur lärosätenas kapacitet kan användas i en hälsokris, skriver 37 företrädare för Hälsokrisnätverket.

Understanding the structure-property relationship in electrocatalysts under working conditions is crucial for the rational design of novel and improved catalytic materials. This paper presents the Aarhus University reactor for electrochemical studies using X-rays (AUREX) operando electrocatalytic flow cell, designed as an easy-To-use versatile setup with a minimal background contribution and a uni
