This problem is known as Image Captioning. There are many datasets in the literature, but most contain only English captions, whereas datasets with captions described in other languages are scarce. We introduce the #PraCegoVer, a multi-modal dataset with Portuguese captions based on posts from Instagram. It is the first large dataset for image captioning in Portuguese. In contrast to popular datasets, #PraCegoVer has only one reference per image, and both mean and variance of reference sentence length are significantly high, which makes our dataset challenging due to its linguistic aspect. We carry a detailed analysis to find the main classes and topics in our data. We compare #PraCegoVer to MS COCO dataset in terms of sentence length and word frequency. We hope that #PraCegoVer dataset encourages more works addressing the automatic generation of descriptions...

Research paper thumbnail of Conduta e tratamento de cisto dentígero gigante em mandíbula – Relato de caso

Research, Society and Development

Sendo classificado como cisto de desenvolvimento, o cisto dentígero (CD) é uma patologia benigna ... more Sendo classificado como cisto de desenvolvimento, o cisto dentígero (CD) é uma patologia benigna que surge do acúmulo de fluido no espaço entre o folículo circundante à coroa de um dente não erupcionado. Sua origem é incerta e devido a sua classificação, lesões de desenvolvimento não se relacionam com reações inflamatórias como causa. Na maioria dos casos, o CD é relatado de forma assintomática, sendo por vezes descoberto em radiografias de rotina. Os aspectos radiográficos dessa patologia se revelam com uma área radiolúcida, unilocular e de limites bem definidos, circundada por um halo radiopaco esclerótico, sempre em associação à coroa de algum dente impactado. O tratamento a ser escolhido depende do tamanho da patologia, da idade do paciente, e de quais estruturas ou dentes estão envolvidos, além da colaboração do paciente. O tratamento mais comum é a enucleação total do cisto junto com a extração do elemento impactado. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um relato de cisto ...

Contudo, esse direito não pode se sobrepor a outros direitos igualmente fundamentais, como é o caso do direito à saúde. Eventual restrição, desde que temporária, pode ser justificada no momento em que recai à sociedade uma situação atípica, que exponha toda a coletividade a risco, como foi o caso, a partir do surgimento da Covid-19 no Brasil. Houve, em razão desta, a supressão de liberdades individuais previstas constitucionalmente, entre elas o direito à liberdade de locomoção, quando da proibição de participação por determinados indivíduos em atividades e locais sem a devida precaução estabelecida pelo estado para evitar a propagação do vírus: a vacina. Em função do direito à saúde, garantia...

Research paper thumbnail of Allometric models to estimate the leaf area of arabica coffee 'Catuaí Vermelho': An approach from frequentist and Bayesian statistics

Multiplication of the maximum values between length and width (LW) and leaf area (LA) values for each leaf, were measured. This <em>R</em> project details the Bayesian linear regression model (BLRM). The relationship between LA and LW of both cultivars were adjusted by a Bayesian linear regression model (<em>LA = β0 + β1 LW</em>) based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with the help of the <em>R</em> "brms" package. The following parameters (prior) were used after a frequentist linear regression adjustment: Gaussian prior for the intercept and slope, <em>β0∼N(0.9,4)</em> and <em>β1∼N(0.7,4)&l...

Our tool combines syntactic and semantic similarity measures with information retrieval techniques. The semantic similarity is computed via NASARI vectors used together with BabelNet, which is a domain-neutral semantic network. In particular, we investigate the use of rank aggregation techniques in the cross-lingual ontology alignment task. The tool employs automatic translation to a pivot language to consider the similarity. EVOCROS was tested and obtained high quality alignment in the Multifarm dataset. We discuss the experimented configurations and the achieved results in OAEI 2019. This is our second participation in OAEI.

Experimental animals were ten healthy cyclic mares, examined daily to detect ovulation (Day 0) as soon as estrus was confirmed. On day seven, after ovulation, uterine fluid was collected, constituting the Cyclic group (n = 10). The same mares were examined in the second cycle until ovulation was detected. On day five, after ovulation, fragments from a previously collected concepti were infused into each mare's uterus. Two days after infusion, uterine fluid was collected, constituting the Fragment group (n = 10). Two-dimensional electrophoresis technique processed uterine fluid samples. A total of 373 spots were detected. MALDI-TOF/TOF and NanoUHPLC-QTOF mass spectrometry identified twenty spots with differences in abundance between the Cyclic and Fragment group. Thirteen proteins were identified, with different abundance between groups. Identified proteins may be related to embryo-maternal communication, which involves adhesion, nutrition, endothelial cell proliferation, transport, and immunological tolerance. In conclusion, conceptus fragments signalized changes in the protein profile of uterine fluid seven days after ovulation in comparison to the observed at Day 7 in the same cyclic mares.

This was an in vivo experimental study in pigs. A single-port device was manufactured at the smallest diameter possible for multidirectional aerosolization of the chemotherapeutic drug under positive intraperitoneal pressure. Four domestic pigs were used in the study, one control animal that received multidirectional microjets of 9 mL/sec for 30 min and three animals that received multidirectional aerosolization (pig 02: 9 mL/sec for 30 min; pigs 03 and 04: 3 mL/sec for 15 min). Aerosolized silver nitrate solution was applied for anatomopathological evaluation of intraperitoneal drug distribution. Injection time was able to maintain the pneumoperitoneum pressure below 20 mmHg. The rate of moderate silver nitrate staining was 45.4% for pig 01, 36.3% for pig...

All cultures and other samples from themare were destroyed. Personnel involved with the case were evaluated for seroconversion (i.e. positive titer) and fortunately all were negative. The mare was re-bred and a second embryowas collected. However, fungal hyphaewere present in the search dish. The embryo was washed numerous times and transferred into a recipientmare. The recipientmarewas administered oral fluconazole (14mg/kg loading dose; 5mg/ kg maintenance dose) to inhibit fungal growth associated with transfer of the embryo. The recipient mare became pregnant and carried to term. The fungal organism in the embryo search dish was confirmed by PCR to be C. immitus. Since C. immitus has been reported to disseminate from a primary respiratory infection, chest radiographs and a bronchial-alveolar lavage were performed to determine if the lungs were the nidus of infection. No evidence of infection was identified in the respiratory tract. The donor mare was sent home with instructions to administer fluconazole orally for an additional 6 to 8 weeks. In conclusion, fungal endometritis due to C. immituswas diagnosed in an embryo donor mare. Two ET pregnancies were established in recipient mares. Caution should be taken by veterinarians performing fungal culture in geographical areas endemic for C. immitus as the organism is a potential human health hazard.
