A hundred years ago, two British expeditions measured the deflection of starlight by the Sun’s gravitational field, confirming the prediction made by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. One hundred years later many physicists around the world are involved in studying the consequences and use as a research tool, of the deflection of light by gravitational fields, a discipline that today receives the generic name of Gravitational Lensing. The present review aims to commemorate the centenary of Einstein’s Eclipse expeditions by presenting a historical perspective of the development and milestones on gravitational light bending, covering from early XIX century speculations, to its current use as an important research tool in astronomy and cosmology.

Abstract This paper aims to present the so-called «Italy Project» of the Regesta Imperii, a new basic research project in Medieval Studies that is offering some overlap with Romanistic research. Since 1829 the Regesta Imperii records all documents and narrative sources, which gives evidence to the activities of the Roman-German kings and emperors between ca. 751 and 1519. The RI are therefore an important research-tool concerning the European Middle Ages. Since 2016 the «Italy Project» coordinates the research about the later medieval emperors Henry VII (1308–1313), Louis IV (1314–1347), Charles IV (1346–1378) and Frederick III (1440–1493) in archives and libraries of Italy. As some of the collected documents are written in Italian Volgare or other Romance languages, there are links to Romance language history as will be shown by some letters of the merchant family Frescobaldi written in the period of Henry VII.

This study investigates how, in the late 1940s and 1950s, fears of nuclear accidents and nuclear warfare shaped postwar radiobiology. The new and intense forms of radiation generated by nuclear reactor technology, and which would be released in the event of a nuclear war, created concerns about a public-health hazard unprecedented in form and scale. Fears of inadvertent exposure to acute and potentially lethal radiation launched a search for anti-radiation therapies, out of which emerged the new technique of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This study analyzes the use of BMT first as a research tool to explore the biological effects of ionizing radiation, and then as an adjunct to radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer. In highlighting how BMT became the province of different research and clinical constituencies, this study develops an understanding of the forces and contingencies that shaped its development. Exploring the emergence of BMT and the uses to which it was put, it reveals that BMT remained a technique in the making——unstable and far from standardized, even as it became both a widely used research tool and rapidly made its way into the clinic. More broadly, it casts new light on one route through which the Manhattan Project influenced postwar radiobiology; it also affords new insights into one means by which radiobiology came to serve the interests of the Cold War state. In its focus on BMT this paper provides a new perspective on the evolving relationship between radiobiology and biomedicine in the postwar period.

The City

A felicidade é o sentimento que cada ser humano busca durante a sua vida, e quando analisada no contexto de cidade, é possível identificar quais são as mudanças necessárias para que ela se faça presente em cada cidadão. Para tanto, o objetivo da presente pesquisa é apresentar as possibilidades que a percepção da população pode trazer quando utilizada em conjunto com as metas para o desenvolvimento urbano. Os procedimentos metodológicos se basearam em um estudo piloto realizado na cidade de Curitiba para fins acadêmicos, caracterizando-se em bibliográfico e descritivo para a análise qualitativa e exploratório para a quantitativa. A aplicação da pesquisa se deu por meio do método de Felicidade Interna Bruta (FIB), pelo emprego de 425 questionários estratificados. Os resultados apresentaram que o FIB de Curitiba está em uma classificação entre "regular" e "feliz", baseando-se em uma escala de Likert de 5 pontos. A partir dos resultados obtidos, foi possível identificar o nível de satisfação da população referente ao meio em que vivem, assim como, em captar o que as pessoas esperam para o futuro da sua cidade, mostrando-se um importante instrumento de pesquisa a ser considerado no desenvolvimento da cidade.AbstractHappiness is the feeling that every human being seeks during his life, and when analyzed in the context of a city, it is possible to identify what changes are necessary to make it part of each citizen. Therefore, the objective of the present research is to present as possibilities that the perception of the population can bring when used together as a goal for urban development. The methodological procedures were based on the case study carried out in the city of Curitiba, being characterized in bibliographical and descriptive for a qualitative and exploratory analysis for a quantitative one. The application of the research was done through the method of Gross National Happiness (GNH), using 425 stratified questionnaires. The results showed that the Curitiba’s GNH is in a classification between "regular" and "happy", based on a Likert scale of 5 points. From the results obtained, it was possible to identify the level of satisfaction of the population regarding the environment in which they live, as well as to capture what people expect for the future of their city, proving to be an important research tool when considered in the development of the city.

Ways Of Thinking

Social network analysis (SNA) has been an important research tool in the Software Engineering community in the last years. The goal of this work is to bring together researcher and practitioners who have studied SNA from software crowdsourcing (SW CS) perspective, and to refine our ways of thinking about issues on communication and collaboration in SW CS projects.
