Abstrak Berbanding lurus dengan cepatnya perkembangan zaman, teknologi juga ikut serta mengambil peran dalam perkembangan tersebut terutama pada bidang keamanan. Teknologi biometrik belakangan ini menjadi sangat populer karena mekanisme identifikasi mengandalkan karakteristik fisik dari setiap individu sehingga diharapkan identik dengan sang pemilik identitasnya. Pada beberapa penelitian sebelumnya telah diciptakan pengamanan pintu rumah hanya dengan menerapkan satu langkah verifikasi saja, yaitu menggunakan suara. Namun hasilnya masih terdapat beberapa kesalahan deteksi terhadap pengguna yang berbeda. Tingkat kesalahan deteksi bahkan mencapai 44%. Hal ini tentunya dapat menjadi celah bagi orang asing yang ingin melakukan tindak kejahatan. Berbeda dari penelitian sebelumnya, penelitian ini memanfaatkan dua langkah verifikasi, yaitu menggunakan voice recognition dan face recognition. Verifikasi dilakukan melalui perangkat yang sudah dipasang di depan pintu. Lalu hasil verifikasi ters...

O Programa Reingresso teve início em 2015 com a Resolução Cepe/UFPR nº 13/14, a qual aprovou normas para o acesso de migrantes e refugiados admitidos no Brasil que tenham iniciado cursos superiores em instituições de ensino no estrangeiro aos cursos de graduação da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR). O estudo analisa as etapas de avaliação do programa, sobretudo a avaliação linguística dos candidatos. A seleção é realizada por equipe transdisciplinar do Programa Política Migratória e Universidade Brasileira (Pmub). O artigo discute a importância de aprimorar não só os mecanismos de entrada, mas também de permanência dos alunos reingressos na instituição mediante o aprendizado do português para fins acadêmicos e de um programa de tutoria. Assim, acredita-se que o processo de seleção funcione como diagnóstico para a criação de políticas afirmativas internas, principalmente no que se refere ao acolhimento linguístico desse público na UFPR.

The aim of the present study was to compare the direct detection methods of Ehrlichia canis (blood smears and nested PCR), serological tests (Dot-ELISA and Immunofluorescent Antibody Test - IFAT), and demonstrate the most suitable test for the diagnosis of different stages of infection. Blood samples and clinical data were collected from 30 dogs examined at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, UNESP, Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil. The clinical signs most frequently observed were apathy, anorexia, pale mucous membrane, fever, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, hemorrhages and uveitis. Evaluating the humoral immune response, 63.3% of the sera were IFAT positive, while 70% were Dot-ELISA positive. By nestedPCR 53.3% of the samples were positive. Comparing these techniques it was concluded that serology and nPCR are the most suitable tests to confirm the diagnosis of canine ehrlichiosis, however it should be always treated as a complementary data to clinical and hematological evaluation. Serology ha...
