(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1 fase) There are approximately 70 million pet dogs and 74 million pet cats in the U.S., a country where 20 men and women are assaulted per minute. In one survey, 71 percent of domestic violence victims reported that their abuser also targeted pets. In one study of families under investigation for suspected child abuse, researchers found that pet abuse had occurred in 88 percent of these families (Adaptado de https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/animal-cruelty-facts-and-stats.

(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1 fase) When 24-year-old fashion blogger Scarlett Dixon posted a picture of herself having breakfast, the internet turned nasty. The best of days start with a smile and positive thoughts. And pancakes. And strawberries, Dixon wrote on her Instagram feed. The post was reposted on Twitter. Instagram is a ridiculous lie factory made to make us all feel inadequate, wrote Nathan from Cardiff. His post, which has garnered more than 111,000 likes (22 times as many as Dixons original) and almost 25,000 retweets, prompted a wave of criticism, with comments going like Fakelife!. Instagram looks like the friendliest social network imaginable. But, for a growing number of users and mental health experts the very positivity of Instagram is precisely the problem. The site encourages its users to present an upbeat, attractive image that others may find at best misleading and at worse harmful. Instagram makes you worry that everyone is perfect except you.

(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1 fase) To me, science is one way of connecting with the mystery of existence. And if you think of it that way, the mystery of existence is something that we have wondered about ever since people began asking questions about who we are and where we come from. So while those questions are now part of scientific research, they are much, much older than science. Im talking about science as part of a much grander and older sort of questioning about who we are in the big picture of the universe. To me, as a theoretical physicist and also someone who spends time out in the mountains, this sort of questioning offers a deeply spiritual connection with the world, through my mind and through my body. Einstein would have said the same thing, I think, with his cosmic religious feeling. Marcelo Gleiser, March 20, 2019.

(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1fase) John Milton and Freedom of Speech on Campus By Daniel F. Sullivan A few years ago, at a seminar meant to help college presidents think about the issues they face as campus leaders, I read John Miltons Areopagitica: A speech for the liberty of unlicensed printing to the parliament of England. Originally published in 1644, Areopagitica makes a powerful argument for freedom of speech and against censorship in publishing. After twenty years as a college president, having experienced and observed many calls to censor, Ive come to believe that there is not much to know on the topic beyond what Milton wrote over 350 years ago. Areopagitica was published in response to Parliaments ordinance for licensing the press of June 14, 1643. The effect of the ordinance against which Milton wrote was to give Archbishop Laud, who was also Chancellor of the University of Oxford, control over every press in England, with power to stop publication of any book contrary to the Doctrine of the Church of England. This was disturbing to Milton, who wrote, as good almost kill a man as kill a good book: [he] who kills a man kills a reasonable creature; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself.

(UNICAMP - 2020 - 2 fase) An international group proposed a framework of nine planetary boundaries that underpin the stability of the global ecosystem. Since the mid-1950s, many elements that ensure the habitability of the planet are degrading at an accelerating pace. The latest research indicates that, as a result of human activity, we have now exceeded the safe levels for four planetary boundaries. Considering these changes, some people believe that human beings can adapt with the help of technology, but thats not based on fact. There is no convincing evidence that a large mammal, with a core body temperature of 37 C, will be able to evolve that quickly, said Prof. Will Steffen of the Australian National University and the Stockholm Resilience Centre.

(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1 fase) Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which atomic nuclei merge to form the nucleus of a new atom. The mass of the new atoms nucleus is lower than the sum of the merging nucleis masses, a difference that is released as energy. This is, for instance, the reaction that occurs in the Sun. The energy released during fusion can be calculated by the equation , where is the difference between the initial and final masses in the reaction, and is the speed of light. When calculating the aforementioned energy, nucleus mass can be conveniently quantified using the atomic mass unit (u), which is roughly equivalent to 900 MeV (1 u 900 MeV). Consider the hypothetical nuclear fusion reaction . Note that the masses of , and are 222u, 4u, and 221u, respectively. The amount of energy released in this reaction is

(UNICAMP - 2020 - 1 fase) Antibiotic resistance is possible because bacteria are able to exchange genetic material through a process known as bacterial conjugation. In one experiment, resistance to tetracycline (a commonly used antibiotic) was studied in Escherichia coli by introducing a tetracycline-resistant bacterium to a tetracycline-sensitive strain. The resistant bacteriums genome contained a protein called an efflux pump, a polypeptide that localizes to the cell membrane and expels certain small molecules from the cell. Using fluorescent marking, researchers observed the DNA encoding one specific efflux pump in between a resistant bacterium and a sensitive bacterium. With live-cell microscopy, they tracked the fluorescence to see how the DNA migrated from one cell to another and how it was incorporated and expressed in the recipient bacterium.
