RESUMO

This study introduces a comprehensive inventory of 54 fingerprint minutiae and their variations aimed at standardizing characteristic point identification within forensic science. By analyzing a strategically sampled collection of fingerprints from the Brazilian Federal Police database, stratified by sex and geographic location, our research uncovers the complex interplay between various levels of fingerprint details (L1D, L2D, and L3D) and demographic factors such as sex and finger type. The sample encompassed the entire proposed list of minutiae, affirming the diversity and representativeness of the Brazilian populace, which had, for the first time, its minutiae frequency distributions studied. This investigation proposes a systematic approach for enhancing fingerprint identification accuracy by minimizing data categorization losses and lays the groundwork for more uniform comparative studies in the field. Our findings, derived from a review of contemporary studies and traditional identification manuals, suggest a step towards establishing a universally accepted standard for fingerprint minutiae classification.

RESUMO

This data descriptor presents two main datasets and a set of auxiliary files. The mobility dataset presents a long-term study of human mobility in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area (RJMA) performed in the entire year of 2014 based on mobile phone data. The socioeconomic dataset presents selected socioeconomic variables of the Brazilian 2010 census. A set of auxiliary files is included to present georeferenced information and geographic features (shapefiles) and data used to validate the mobility estimates. The human mobility estimation was carried out using a methodology that allows direct integration with census data, based on an approximation of the geographic boundaries of census units by an aggregation of Voronoi polygons of the mobile phone antennas. The study area is the Brazilian local area 21, which includes the entire RJMA and four other municipalities. The mobility dataset is divided into two files: one is an estimation of the origin-destination (OD) matrix per day, and the other is a visitors' dataset where the number of visitors of each location is estimated in four shifts each day. The socioeconomic dataset presents information of 55 variables for each location, which have been used in different studies and present the longest human mobility dataset available for public use.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT The transition from analog to digital radiology has expanded the capabilities of radiological imaging but has also made it possible to increase the radiation dose received by patients. Image quality in radiology is determined by factors such as radiographic techniques (kVp and mAs), which directly impact the dose and image quality. This study focuses on pediatric radiological exams considering their greater radiosensitivity and longer life expectancy. The study aimed to investigate the correlation between image quality and applied radiographic techniques using the CDRAD contrast-detail phantom. The results showed a direct linear relationship between the increase in kVp and the corresponding increase in image quality. Nonetheless, there was a significant variation in image quality between current-time products ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 mAs, in contrast to the nearly linear relationship observed within the 2.5 and 10 mAs range

RESUMEN La transición de la radiología analógica a la digital ha ampliado las capacidades de las imágenes radiológicas, pero ha también permitió aumentar la dosis de radiación que reciben los pacientes. La calidad de la imagen en radiología está determinada por factores como las técnicas radiográficas (kVp y mAs), que impactan directamente en la dosis y la calidad de la imagen. Este estudio se centra en exámenes radiológicos pediátricos considerando su mayor radiosensibilidad y mayor espe ranza de vida. El estudio está dirigido a investigar la correlación entre la calidad de la imagen y las técnicas radiográficas aplicadas utilizando el detalle de contraste CDRAD fantasma. Los resultados mostraron una relación lineal directa entre el aumento de kVp y el correspondiente aumento de calidad de la imagen. No obstante, hubo una variación significativa en la calidad de la imagen entre los productos actuales que van desde 0,5 a 2,5 mAs, en contraste con la relación casi lineal observada dentro del rango de 2,5 y 10 mAs.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In mammography it is essential to combine aspects of image quality with compliance with glandular dose levels. The objective of this study was to combine the assessment of the contrast-detail threshold and the mean glandular dose for different target/filter combinations in digital mammography and to indicate the optimal combination through a figure of merit (FOM). METHODS: In a direct digital mammograph, performance and image quality standards were evaluated using a solid-state multidetector capable of measuring various parameters including kerma and standardized phantoms for image quality. After verifying the proper functioning of the mammograph, the contrast-detail detection threshold and the mean glandular dose values for thicknesses ranging from 20 mm to 70 mm in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) were evaluated. Combining these values, an FOM was defined to determine the optimal combination. RESULTS: The results indicated that the Mo/Rh and W/Rh combinations present mean glandular doses below the limit for all thicknesses. In contrast, using the Mo/Mo combination, the mean glandular doses were below the limit only up to 45 mm. However, when considering the FOM that combines dosimetric aspects and the contrast-detail threshold, the use of W/Rh is the most optimal option. CONCLUSION: The results obtained in this study demonstrate that the W/Rh combination in direct digital mammography is the option that presents the best trade-off between the mean glandular dose and the contrast-detail detection threshold. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The results demonstrate that the application of the W/Rh combination in direct digital mammography offers an optimized and applicable option, regardless of the thickness of the breast that will be radiographed.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of elastomer through detail reproduction and its dimensional stability (DS) after disinfection with 0.2% chloramine-T. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The elastomeric impression dental materials used in this study were polydimethylsiloxane (Oranwash L), polyvinyl siloxane (Express), polysulfide (Permlastic), and polyether (Impregum Soft). The entire press procedure was performed on a matrix in accordance with the ISO 4823. Detail reproduction was analyzed using an optical microscope (Stereozoom Microscope) over the 20-µm line with 25 mm of length at a magnification of ×4. DS was measured using an optical microscope (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) by subtracting the distance between the lines X and X' over the 20-µm line on the matrix (DM) from the distance between the lines on the impression material (DI) divided by DM and multiplied by 100 establishing the equation: DS = ([DI - DM]/DM) ×100; then, 100% was added to the results of the equation. The detail reproduction values were subsequently subjected to descriptive analysis by percentage (%), and the DS values (%) were submitted to Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, two-way ANOVA (material × disinfectant), and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: All elastomeric impression materials showed 100% of detail reproduction, regardless of the disinfection procedure. Polysulfide (not disinfected) and polysulfide and polydimethylsiloxane (after disinfection with 0.2% chloramine-T) showed the smaller mean values of DS. CONCLUSION: According to the stability properties analyzed, chloramine-T can be used for disinfection of elastomer molds.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Optimization studies in digital mammography aid to assure the image quality and radiological protection of the patient. The aim of this work is to test effectiveness and applicability of a method based on a Figure of Merit (FOM=(IQFinv)2/AGD) to improve all the exposure parameters (Target/Filter combination, kVp and mAs) in order to improve the image acquisition technique that will provide the best compromise between image quality and the average glandular dose (AGD). METHODS: A contrast-detail analysis, employing the test object CDMAM, was carried out for the digital mammography unit manufactured by Lorad Hologic - model Selenia. We simulated two breast thicknesses using phantoms and a Figure of Merit as optimization tool, which includes an indicator of image quality, the IQFinv and the average glandular dose. Images of the ACR and TORMAM phantoms were obtained with both, automatic and optimized exposure parameters. In order to compare the image quality, the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) was measured in each image. RESULTS: In the two phantoms, for both 4.5 and 7.5cm thicknesses, the AGDs obtained with the optimized parameters show a reduction. In addition, the images obtained with the optimized exposure parameters, had the same or a better image quality when compared to the images obtained using the automatic mode. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed optimization methodology proved to be an effective tool to improve the digital mammography unit, due to the use of objective metrics for evaluation and validation of the results.

RESUMO

Mobile data has allowed us to sense urban dynamics at scales and granularities not known before, helping urban planners to cope with urban growth. A frequently used kind of dataset are Call Detail Records (CDR), used by telecommunication operators for billing purposes. Being an already extracted and processed dataset, it is inexpensive and reliable. A common assumption with respect to geography when working with CDR data is that the position of a device is the same as the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) it is connected to. Because the city is divided into a square grid, or by coverage zones approximated by Voronoi tessellations, CDR network events are assigned to corresponding areas according to BTS position. This geolocation may suffer from non negligible error in almost all cases. In this paper we propose "Antenna Virtual Placement" (AVP), a method to geolocate mobile devices according to their connections to BTS, based on decoupling antennas from its corresponding BTS according to its physical configuration (height, downtilt, and azimuth). We use AVP applied to CDR data as input for two different tasks: first, from an individual perspective, what places are meaningful for them? And second, from a global perspective, how to cluster city areas to understand land use using floating population flows? For both tasks we propose methods that complement or improve prior work in the literature. Our proposed methods are simple, yet not trivial, and work with daily CDR data from the biggest telecommunication operator in Chile. We evaluate them in Santiago, the capital of Chile, with data from working days from June 2015. We find that: (1) AVP improves city coverage of CDR data by geolocating devices to more city areas than using standard methods; (2) we find important places (home and work) for a 10% of the sample using just daily information, and recreate the population distribution as well as commuting trips; (3) the daily rhythms of floating population allow to cluster areas of the city, and explain them from a land use perspective by finding signature points of interest from crowdsourced geographical information. These results have implications for the design of applications based on CDR data like recommendation of places and routes, retail store placement, and estimation of transport effects from pollution alerts.

RESUMO

O presente texto pretende abordar a questão da feminilidade em relação ao tema das roupas. Freud havia concluído que a mulher "trançava e tecia" para encobrir a falta fálica e Lacan no rememorou com seu texto, que a mulher se portava como uma "autêntica tecelã" nos rearranjos pulsionais que empreendia em sua vida anímica. Partimos de alguns autores da literatura para demonstrar que a tese freudiana e lacaniana somente corroboram com a hipótese de que há uma relação intrincada entre mulheres e roupas, melhor dizendo: entre a feminilidade e a "função do véu". Entretanto, o feminino lança mão do véu que são as roupas, segundo a psicanálise, para encobrir uma suposta falta da mulher. Nesse sentido a roupa é uma saída fálica que encobriria a castração. O texto aponta então uma via de apreensão do feminino pelo tema do detalhe, pois as qualidades desse objeto ínfimo e sutil apresentam uma saída pelo estilo próprio e feminino de cada uma das mulheres. Ou seja, se a roupa apresenta uma saída pela via do falo, o detalhe marca o todo com um corte e reabre a questão da mulher com a própria falta.(AU)

The present text intends to approach the question of femininity in relation to the theme of clothing. Freud concluded that "braiding and weaving" was meant to cover the phallic lack, and Lacan reminded us with his text of the behavior of women as authentic weavers in the rearrangements of the drives that they have set up in their animic lives. We depart from some authors of the literature to demonstrate that the Freudian and Lacanian thesis only corroborate the hypothesis that there is an intricate relationship between women and clothing, that is, between femininity and "the function of the veil". However, the feminine employs the veil-which is the clothes, according to psychoanalysis- to cover a women's supposed lack. In this sense, the clothing is a phallic exit that would hide castration. The text points to another possibility of apprehension of the feminine through the theme of the detail, since the qualities of this little and subtle object present an exit through each woman's feminine and unique style. That is, if clothing presents an exit through the phallus, the detail marks the whole with a cut that reopens the issue of the woman with her own lack.(AU)

RESUMO

This study compared the surface detail reproduction and dimensional accuracy of stone models obtained from molds disinfected with 2% sodium hypochlorite, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate or 0.2% peracetic acid to models produced using molds which were not disinfected, with 3 alginate materials (Cavex ColorChange, Hydrogum 5 and Jeltrate Plus). The molds were prepared over matrix containing 20-, 50-, and 75-µm lines, performed under pressure with perforated metal tray. The molds were removed following gelation and either disinfected (using one of the solutions by spraying followed by storage in closed jars for 15 min) or not disinfected. The samples were divided into 12 groups (n=5). Molds were filled with dental gypsum Durone IV and 1 h after the start of the stone mixing the models were separated from the tray. Surface detail reproduction and dimensional accuracy were evaluated using optical microscopy on the 50-µm line with 25 mm in length, in accordance with the ISO 1563 standard. The dimensional accuracy results (%) were subjected to ANOVA. The 50 µm-line was completely reproduced by all alginate impression materials regardless of the disinfection procedure. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean values of dimensional accuracy in combinations between disinfectant procedure and alginate impression material (p=0.2130) or for independent factors. The disinfectant solutions and alginate materials used in this study are no factors of choice regarding the surface detail reproduction and dimensional accuracy of stone models.

Este estudo comparou a reprodução de detalhes da superfície e alteração dimensional de modelos de gesso obtidos a partir de moldes desinfetados com hipoclorito de sódio 2%, digluconato de clorexidina 2%, ou ácido peracético 0,2% a modelos confeccionados utilizando moldes que não foram desinfetados com três alginatos (Cavex ColorChange, Hydrogum 5, Jeltrate Plus). Os moldes foram preparados sobre matriz contendo linhas de 20, 50 e 75 µm realizado sob pressão com moldeira de metal perfurada. Os moldes foram removidos após a geleificação e desinfetados (utilizando uma das soluções por pulverização, armazenados em frascos fechados durante 15 min) ou não desinfetados. Assim, as amostras foram divididas em 12 grupos (n=5). Os moldes foram preenchidos com gesso dental Durone IV e uma hora após a manipulação do gesso os modelos foram separados da moldeira. A reprodução de detalhes da superfície e a precisão dimensional foram avaliadas usando microscopia óptica na linha 50 µm com 25 mm de comprimento, de acordo com a norma ISO 1563. Os resultados de precisão dimensional (%) foram submetidos à ANOVA. A linha de 50 µm foi completamente reproduzida por todos os alginatos, independentemente do processo de desinfecção. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa nos valores médios de precisão dimensional nas combinações entre procedimento de desinfecção e alginato (p=0,2130), ou para fatores independentes. Soluções desinfetantes e alginatos utilizados neste estudo não são fatores de escolha em relação à reprodução de detalhes da superfície e alteração dimensional de modelos de gesso.
