How can a serial fiction product use elements of Brazilian folklore, in combination with the fantastic and horror, to build its narrative? Based on this question, present work analyzes webseries Imaginário (2016), by filmmaker Bruno Esposti, which narrates, each chapter, an urban or folkloric legend Brazil. This article aims, therefore, detect intersections between national digital media horror...

O romance de fantasia permite às pessoas o acesso ao(s) mundo(s) do imaginário e, nesse sentido, somos levados a indagar se esse subgênero em prosa não será um meio potencial para incentivar leitura entre os jovens. Guiados por tal inquietação, propusemos uma prática formação leitores partir livro A terra dos meninos pelados, Graciliano Ramos (2010). atividade, fundamentada preceitos multiletra...

En este artículo, se hace un acercamiento teórico-metodológico sal reconocer que Colombia es país suramericano en el la palabra resistencia ha cobrado vigencia, como los casos de ¡Colombia resiste!, Puerto (en Cali), y Portal Bogotá). Un paro nacional surgido a raíz una reforma ley tributaria (abril, 2021), llevó al enfrentamiento amplios sectores población contra gobierno; durante meses protes...

Automated Discovery and Learning of Complex Movement Behaviors Igor Mordatch Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Emanuel Todorov Computer Science & Engineering In order to create useful physical robots, tell narratives in animated films and interactive games, or understand the underlying principles behind human movement, it is necessary to synthesize movement behaviors with ...

W hen we walk to a shop in a town, we want to get there in the shortest time. However, finding the shortest route in a big city is quite tricky, because there are countless possible routes and the time taken for each segment of a route is uncertain. This is a typical problem of discrete optimal control, which aims to find the optimal sequence of actions to minimize the total cost from any given...

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to clarify the taxonomic validity of morphological characters. The COI data not only successfully separated all studied morphospecies but also revealed the existence of several potential cryptic species. The taxonomic impl...

The Zk-parafermion Hall state is an incompressible fluid of k-electron clusters generalizing the Pfaffian state of paired electrons. Extending our earlier analysis of the Pfaffian, we introduce two “parent” abelian Hall states which reduce to the parafermion state by projecting out some neutral degrees of freedom. The first abelian state is a generalized (331) state which describes clustering o...

Reina et al., 2001). Others suggest that joint angle is Recently, we found that electrical stimulation of motor coded in motor cortex (Scott and Kalaska, 1995, 1997) cortex caused monkeys to make coordinated, comor that muscle tension is coded, perhaps in a complex plex movements. These evoked movements were arfashion in which each location in cortex influences many ranged across the cortex in ...

In two fMRI experiments (n = 44) using tasks with different demands-approach-avoidance versus one-back recognition decisions-we measured the responses to the social value of faces. The face stimuli were produced by a parametric model of face evaluation that reduces multiple social evaluations to two orthogonal dimensions of valence and power [Oosterhof, N. N., & Todorov, A. The functional basis...
