O artigo problematiza sentidos atribuídos por estudantes às tecnologias digitais (TD) em práticas letradas escolares e não a partir de sua participação um clube Inglês. Com base na abordagem sociocultural dos letramentos perspectiva etnográfica, realizamos uma entrevista semiestruturada com três integrantes do torno TD desenvolvidas naquele contexto. A interpretações qualitativas, os resultados...

Approximate policy evaluation with linear function approximation is a commonly arising problem in reinforcement learning, usually solved using temporal difference (TD) algorithms. In this paper we introduce a new variant of linear TD learning, called incremental least-squares TD learning, or iLSTD. This method is more data efficient than conventional TD algorithms such as TD(0) and is more comp...

BACKGROUND Polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been studied as genetic markers of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and some studies have reported associations with autoimmune thyroid disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between VDR FokI polymorphism (rs10735810), thyroid autoimmunity and thyroid dysfunction (TD) in Brazilian T1DM. METHODS One-hundred-...

The atypical antipsychotics were believed to induce less extrapyramidal syndrome, including tardive dyskinesia (TD). Since the introduction of the quetiapine, it is also reported with less TD side effects. It even can relieve the symptoms of severe TD and reduce the risk of TD. The quetiapine's low affinity and fast dissociation from postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors should give the least risk...

The number of dissected lymph nodes (LNs), surgical outcomes, and postoperative recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared between thoracic duct (TD)-preserved and TD-resected groups. The distribution of metastasis in LNs around TD (TDLN) was reviewed. Transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) with TD resection for esophageal cancer patients has been one of the standard procedures. Because the adipos...

Editorial When a disease-causing microorganism passes through the body, causes disease, and then recovery occurs from the disease, protective immunity is gained against the disease. A vaccine is a biological preparation containing artificially made protective immunity. Historically, through the use of these vaccines, humans were able to gain freedom from many kinds of dangerous infectious disea...

The temporal difference (TD) learning framework is a major paradigm for understanding value-based decision making and related neural activities (e.g., dopamine activity). The representation of time in neural processes modeled by a TD framework, however, is poorly understood. To address this issue, we propose a TD formulation that separates the time of the operator (neural valuation processes), ...

BACKGROUND Multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block (MMN) is a treatable disorder that can be mistaken for other lower motor neurone syndromes. Existing electrophysiological diagnostic criteria for MMN are restrictive. In particular, many are cautious about diagnosing conduction block (CB) in the presence of abnormal temporal dispersion (TD). OBJECTIVE To study the significance of TD...
