    Tal movimento não era apenas um movimento europeu de caráter universal, conquistando uma nação após outra e criando uma linguagem literária universal que, em última análise, era tão inteligível na Rússia e na Polônia quanto na Inglaterra e na França; ele também provou ser uma daquelas correntes que, como o Classicismo da Renascença, subsistiu como fator duradouro no desenvolvimento da arte. Na verdade, não existe produto da arte moderna, nenhum impulso emocional, nenhuma impressão ou estado de espírito do homem moderno, que não deva sua sutileza e variedade à sensibilidade que se desenvolveu a partir desse movimento. Toda exuberância, anarquia e violência da arte moderna, seu lirismo balbuciante, seu exibicionismo irrestrito e profuso, derivaram dele. E essa atitude subjetiva e egocêntrica tornou-se de tal modo natural para nós, tão absolutamente inevitável, que nos parece impossível reproduzir sequer uma sequência abstrata de pensamento sem fazer referência aos nossos sentimentos.

    I. A figuração dos líderes políticos como “reticências” sugere que esses líderes constituem entrave à demanda sugerida pela “palavra”.

    II. Na medida em que, frente a uma multidão de anônimos, poucos indivíduos são nomeados, depreende-se da charge uma crítica, sobretudo, ao processo de massificação da sociedade moderna.

    III. A charge satiriza as manifestações contrárias à guerra no Iraque lideradas por políticos dos EUA e do Reino Unido.

    Destinada unicamente à exportação, em função da qual se organiza e mantém a exploração, tal atividade econômica desenvolveu-se à margem das necessidades próprias da sociedade brasileira. No alvorecer do século XIX, essa atividade econômica, que se iniciara sob tão brilhantes auspícios e absorvera durante cem anos o melhor das atenções e dos esforços do país, já tocava sua ruína final. Os prenúncios dessa ruína já se faziam aliás sentir para os observadores menos cegos pela cobiça desde longa data. De meados do século XVIII em diante, essa atividade econômica, contudo, não fizera mais que declinar.

    Leia o trecho do romance S. Bernardo, de Graciliano Ramos, para responder a questão.

        O caboclo mal-encarado que encontrei um dia em casa do Mendonça também se acabou em desgraça. Uma limpeza. Essa gente quase nunca morre direito. Uns são levados pela cobra, outros pela cachaça, outros matam-se.
        Na pedreira perdi um. A alavanca soltou-se da pedra, bateu-lhe no peito, e foi a conta. Deixou viúva e órfãos miúdos. Sumiram-se: um dos meninos caiu no fogo, as lombrigas comeram o segundo, o último teve angina e a mulher enforcou-se.
        Para diminuir a mortalidade e aumentar a produção, proibi a aguardente.
        Concluiu-se a construção da casa nova. Julgo que não preciso descrevê-la. As partes principais apareceram ou aparecerão; o resto é dispensável e apenas pode interessar aos arquitetos, homens que provavelmente não lerão isto. Ficou tudo confortável e bonito. Naturalmente deixei de dormir em rede. Comprei móveis e diversos objetos que entrei a utilizar com receio, outros que ainda hoje não utilizo, porque não sei para que servem.
        Aqui existe um salto de cinco anos, e em cinco anos o mundo dá um bando de voltas.
        Ninguém imaginará que, topando os obstáculos mencionados, eu haja procedido invariavelmente com segurança e percorrido, sem me deter, caminhos certos. Não senhor, não procedi nem percorri. Tive abatimentos, desejo de recuar; contornei dificuldades: muitas curvas. Acham que andei mal?  

    A verdade é que nunca soube quais foram os meus atos bons e quais foram os maus. Fiz coisas boas que me trouxeram prejuízo; fiz coisas ruins que deram lucro. E como sempre tive a intenção de possuir as terras de S. Bernardo, considerei legítimas as ações que me levaram a obtê-las.
        Alcancei mais do que esperava, mercê de Deus. Vieram- -me as rugas, já se vê, mas o crédito, que a princípio se esquivava, agarrou-se comigo, as taxas desceram. E os negócios desdobraram-se automaticamente. Automaticamente. Difícil? Nada! Se eles entram nos trilhos, rodam que é uma beleza. Se não entram, cruzem os braços. Mas se virem que estão de sorte, metam o pau: as tolices que praticarem viram sabedoria. Tenho visto criaturas que trabalham demais e não progridem. Conheço indivíduos preguiçosos que têm faro: quando a ocasião chega, desenroscam-se, abrem a boca – e engolem tudo.
        Eu não sou preguiçoso. Fui feliz nas primeiras tentativas e obriguei a fortuna a ser-me favorável nas seguintes.
        Depois da morte do Mendonça, derrubei a cerca, naturalmente, e levei-a para além do ponto em que estava no tempo de Salustiano Padilha. Houve reclamações.
        – Minhas senhoras, seu Mendonça pintou o diabo enquanto viveu. Mas agora é isto. E quem não gostar, paciência, vá à justiça.
        Como a justiça era cara, não foram à justiça. E eu, o caminho aplainado, invadi a terra do Fidélis, paralítico de um braço, e a dos Gama, que pandegavam no Recife, estudando Direito. Respeitei o engenho do Dr. Magalhães, juiz.
        Violências miúdas passaram despercebidas. As questões mais sérias foram ganhas no foro, graças às chicanas de João Nogueira.

                       Fake news could ruin social media, but there’s still hope

    by: Guðrun í Jákupsstovu


    Camille Francois, director of research and analysis at Graphika, told the audience of her talk at TNW Conference:

    “Disinformation campaigns, or fake news is a concept we’ve known about for years, but few people realize how varied the concept can be and how many forms it comes in. When the first instances of fake news started to surface, they were connected with bots. These flooded conversations with alternative stories in order to create noise and, in turn, silence what was actually being said”.

    According to Francois, today’s disinformation campaigns are far more varied than just bots – and much harder to detect. For example, targeted harassment campaigns are carried out against journalists and human-rights activists who are critical of governments or big organizations.

    “We see this kind of campaigns happening at large scale in countries like the Philippines, Turkey, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The point of these campaigns is to flood the narrative these people try to create with so much noise that their original message gets silenced, their reputation gets damaged, and their credibility undermined. I call this patriotic trolling.”

    There are also examples of disinformation campaigns mobilizing people. This was evident during the US elections in 2016 when many fake events suddenly started popping up on Facebook. One Russian Facebook page “organized” an anti-Islam event, while another “organized” a pro-Islam demonstration. The two fake events gathered activists to the same street in Texas, leading to a stand-off.

    Francois explains how amazed she is that, in spite of social media being the main medium for these different disinformation campaigns, actual people also still use it to protest properly.

    If we look at countries, like Turkey – where there’s a huge amount of censorship and smear campaigns directed at human right defenders and journalists – citizens around the world and in those places still use social media to denounce corruption, to organize human rights movements and this proves that we still haven’t lost the battle of who owns social media.

    This is an ongoing battle, and it lets us recognize the actors who are trying to remove the option for people to use social media for good. But everyday you still have people all over the world turning to social media to support their democratic activities. This gives me hope and a desire to protect people’s ability to use social media for good, for denouncing corruption and protecting human rights.

                              Can you learn in your sleep?


          Sleep is known to be crucial for learning and memory formation. What's more, scientists have even managed to pick out specific memories and consolidate them during sleep. However, the exact mechanisms behind this were unknown — until now.

          Those among us who grew up with the popular cartoon "Dexter's Laboratory" might remember the famous episode wherein Dexter's trying to learn French overnight. He creates a device that helps him to learn in his sleep by playing French phrases to him. Of course, since the show is a comedy, Dexter's record gets stuck on the phrase "Omelette du fromage" and the next day he's incapable of saying anything else. This is, of course, a problem that puts him through a series of hilarious situations.

          The idea that we can learn in our sleep has captivated the minds of artists and scientists alike; the possibility that one day we could all drastically improve our productivity by learning in our sleep is very appealing. But could such a scenario ever become a reality?

          New research seems to suggest so, and scientists in general are moving closer to understanding precisely what goes on in the brain when we sleep and how the restful state affects learning and memory formation.

          For instance, previous studies have shown that non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep — or dreamless sleep — is crucial for consolidating memories. It has also been shown that sleep spindles, or sudden spikes in oscillatory brain activity that can be seen on an electroencephalogram (EEG) during the second stage of non-REM sleep, are key for this memory consolidation. Scientists were also able to specifically target certain memories and reactivate, or strengthen, them by using auditory cues.

          However, the mechanism behind such achievements remained mysterious until now. Researchers were also unaware if such mechanisms would help with memorizing new information.

          Therefore, a team of researchers set out to investigate. Scott Cairney, from the University of York in the United Kingdom, co-led the research with Bernhard Staresina, who works at the University of Birmingham, also in the U.K. Their findings were published in the journal Current Biology.

          Cairney explains the motivation for the research, saying, "We are quite certain that memories are reactivated in the brain during sleep, but we don't know the neural processes that underpin this phenomenon." "Sleep spindles," he continues, "have been linked to the benefits of sleep for memory in previous research, so we wanted to investigate whether these brain waves mediate reactivation. If they support memory reactivation, we further reasoned that it could be possible to decipher memory signals at the time that these spindles took place."

          To test their hypotheses, Cairney and his colleagues asked 46 participants "to learn associations between words and pictures of objects or scenes before a nap." Afterward, some of the participants took a 90-minute nap, whereas others stayed awake. To those who napped, "Half of the words were [...] replayed during the nap to trigger the reactivation of the newly learned picture memories," explains Cairney.

          "When the participants woke after a good period of sleep," he says, "we presented them again with the words and asked them to recall the object and scene pictures. We found that their memory was better for the pictures that were connected to the words that were presented in sleep, compared to those words that weren't," Cairney reports.

          Using an EEG machine, the researchers were also able to see that playing the associated words to reactivate memories triggered sleep spindles in the participants' brains. More specifically, the EEG sleep spindle patterns "told" the researchers whether the participants were processing memories related to objects or memories related to scenes.

          "Our data suggest that spindles facilitate processing of relevant memory features during sleep and that this process boosts memory consolidation," says Staresina. "While it has been shown previously," he continues, "that targeted memory reactivation can boost memory consolidation during sleep, we now show that sleep spindles might represent the key underlying mechanism."

          Cairney adds, "When you are awake you learn new things, but when you are asleep you refine them, making it easier to retrieve them and apply them correctly when you need them the most. This is important for how we learn but also for how we might help retain healthy brain functions."

          Staresina suggests that this newly gained knowledge could lead to effective strategies for boosting memory while sleeping.

          So, though learning things from scratch à la "Dexter's Lab" may take a while to become a reality, we can safely say that our brains continue to learn while we sleep, and that researchers just got a lot closer to understanding why this happens.

    Another finding of the research is related to the electroencephalogram (EEG) that was done while the participants were sleeping and exposed to the replay of the words, which revealed

It has also been shown that sleep spindles, or sudden spikes in oscillatory brain activity that can be seen on an electroencephalogram (EEG) during the second stage of non-REM sleep, are key for this memory consolidation. Scientists were also able to specifically target certain memories and reactivate, or strengthen, them by using auditory cues.

          However, the mechanism behind such achievements remained mysterious until now. Researchers were also unaware if such mechanisms would help with memorizing new information.

          Therefore, a team of researchers set out to investigate. Scott Cairney, from the University of York in the United Kingdom, co-led the research with Bernhard Staresina, who works at the University of Birmingham, also in the U.K. Their findings were published in the journal Current Biology.

          Cairney explains the motivation for the research, saying, "We are quite certain that memories are reactivated in the brain during sleep, but we don't know the neural processes that underpin this phenomenon." "Sleep spindles," he continues, "have been linked to the benefits of sleep for memory in previous research, so we wanted to investigate whether these brain waves mediate reactivation. If they support memory reactivation, we further reasoned that it could be possible to decipher memory signals at the time that these spindles took place."

          To test their hypotheses, Cairney and his colleagues asked 46 participants "to learn associations between words and pictures of objects or scenes before a nap." Afterward, some of the participants took a 90-minute nap, whereas others stayed awake. To those who napped, "Half of the words were [...] replayed during the nap to trigger the reactivation of the newly learned picture memories," explains Cairney.

          "When the participants woke after a good period of sleep," he says, "we presented them again with the words and asked them to recall the object and scene pictures. We found that their memory was better for the pictures that were connected to the words that were presented in sleep, compared to those words that weren't," Cairney reports.

          Using an EEG machine, the researchers were also able to see that playing the associated words to reactivate memories triggered sleep spindles in the participants' brains. More specifically, the EEG sleep spindle patterns "told" the researchers whether the participants were processing memories related to objects or memories related to scenes.

          "Our data suggest that spindles facilitate processing of relevant memory features during sleep and that this process boosts memory consolidation," says Staresina. "While it has been shown previously," he continues, "that targeted memory reactivation can boost memory consolidation during sleep, we now show that sleep spindles might represent the key underlying mechanism."

          Cairney adds, "When you are awake you learn new things, but when you are asleep you refine them, making it easier to retrieve them and apply them correctly when you need them the most. This is important for how we learn but also for how we might help retain healthy brain functions."

          Staresina suggests that this newly gained knowledge could lead to effective strategies for boosting memory while sleeping.

          So, though learning things from scratch à la "Dexter's Lab" may take a while to become a reality, we can safely say that our brains continue to learn while we sleep, and that researchers just got a lot closer to understanding why this happens.

                              Can you learn in your sleep?


          Sleep is known to be crucial for learning and memory formation. What's more, scientists have even managed to pick out specific memories and consolidate them during sleep. However, the exact mechanisms behind this were unknown — until now.

          Those among us who grew up with the popular cartoon "Dexter's Laboratory" might remember the famous episode wherein Dexter's trying to learn French overnight. He creates a device that helps him to learn in his sleep by playing French phrases to him. Of course, since the show is a comedy, Dexter's record gets stuck on the phrase "Omelette du fromage" and the next day he's incapable of saying anything else. This is, of course, a problem that puts him through a series of hilarious situations.

          The idea that we can learn in our sleep has captivated the minds of artists and scientists alike; the possibility that one day we could all drastically improve our productivity by learning in our sleep is very appealing. But could such a scenario ever become a reality?

    Sinopse do filme Capitão América: Guerra Civil


    Capitão América: Guerra Civil encontra Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) liderando o recém-formado time de Vingadores em seus esforços continuados para proteger a humanidade. Mas, depois que um novo incidente envolvendo os Vingadores resulta num dano colateral, a pressão política se levanta para instaurar um sistema de contagem liderado por um órgão governamental para supervisionar e dirigir a equipe.

    O novo status quo divide os Vingadores, resultando em dois campos: um liderado por Steve Rogers e seu desejo de que os Vingadores permaneçam livres para defender a humanidade sem a interferência do governo; o outro seguindo a surpreendente decisão de Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) em apoio à supervisão e contagem do governo.

    Capitão América 3 tem direção dos irmãos Joe e Anthony Russo, produção de Kevin Feige e grande elenco formado por Scarlett Johansson (Viúva Negra), Sebastian Stan (Soldado Invernal), Anthony Mackie (Falcão), Emily Van Camp (Agente 13), Don Cheadle (Máquina de Combate), Jeremy Renner (Gavião Arqueiro), Chadwick Boseman (Pantera Negra), Paul Bettany (Visão), Elizabeth Olsen (Feiticeira Escarlate), Pail Rudd (Homem-Formiga), Frank Grillo (Ossos Cruzados), William Hurt (General Thunderbolt) e Daniel Brühl (Barão Zenom).
