Germany: CIMETOX provides software for surveillance in … – AngolaPress

To her, presenting such projects at the fair in IENA2015, the Medicines and Toxicology Information Centre (CIMETOX), Faculty of Medicine, University Lueji A’Nkonde is presented at the fair with the work “Vigicimetox.”

He said that this is an integrated automated drug-surveillance system that works like a database to meet the emergence of applications in toxicology.

This department, located in the province Malanje, meet health professionals and individuals, allowing provide important epidemiological point of view data such as age, sex, type of poisoning, the product that was used and the province where there was the “accident”.

With the information given, he said, the coach manages to go to the requesting preventive measures, taking into account the ingested product and region of the country, because studies show that there are regions with fuel intake frequency, others by biting snakes and other swallowed agricultural chemicals.

For Paula Oliveira, these technicians can provide answers to have a database with the country profile by poisoning, working 24 hours a day and provide answers to cases of the genus emergencies occurring in Angola and sometimes outside the country.

On the other hand, the center shows the project “Droguisoft software” designed to prevent and information on diagnosis and treatment of dependent toxic and based on the information and clinical signs that the provider sends to the center are clarified debts on the type of drugs consumed by the patient.

For this action, he added, in addition to toxicologists, the center has supported by a group of psychologists who will give support to users of the telephone line for the purpose of diagnosis at a distance, avoiding some deaths.

The Angolan delegation, this edition 67th Fair of Ideas, Innovation and New Products (IENA) 2015 taking place from 29 October to 1 November this year is represented with 10 inventors and 19 projects.

Highlights go to “device to prevent the oil spill in the ocean”, ” Vortex One “,” Multifunctional Bicycle “,” multifunction device access, visual and sick “,” From trash to luxury “,” Nahary vehicle “and” Integrated System of Medical Emergencies of Angola (siema). “

listed are also in this range “anonymous evaluation of exams,” “palanquinha”, “Carpooling”, “Event Information System”, “SPA-Pro”, “Integrated Traffic Regulation Angola ( SIRETA) “,” ISUTIC the future “,” Anti Mata-Class “,” Strategy for the prevention of bites from snakes in Angola “,” Project on study Poisons and Poison Snakes Angola “,” Vigicimetox “and” Drogisoft Software “.

Germany: ISUTIC Software can end phenomenon “kill … – AngolaPress

According to the coordinator ISUTIC projects, which features the same at the fair, Valeriano Messele, said device installed on smartphones and teachers of the tablets will make a control of the same in the classroom.

This device, he said, a lack works as a putting book where the teacher has control of students and if any are missing from her room is applied, electronic and automatically form your parent or guardian is notified with a message your mobile phone.

For you, the idea that was born the phenomenon “forest school” that has been observed in the country’s schools mainly Friday will help that education teachers and parents have better control of the students and share information about their presence in the classroom.

“This application will be installed on the phones of teachers which has a record of mobile numbers of parents and via text message (sms) sends information to the country of the students, “he said.

The ISUTIC still has to this issue the project” ISUTIC of the Future “, which is a control electrical loads in institutions software, is Dare a responsible mobile phone controls the lights, doors, air conditioners, etc., can turn on or off, open or close the distance.

Freedom of Software and freedom are the same thing? – BR-Linux

Submitted by Thiago Mendonça (thiagoΘacesso · me):

“Save save pretty jovial crew! What’s up? Remember: If you are still young, still young, still young, tomorrow is old, old will be old! Unless the heart, the heart that feels the youth that will never die!

Here at acesso.me, now and then I talk about GNU / Linux and free software. You dropped from parachutes here, click the beautiful link down there and take a visu in other posts, however, what I want to talk here today with you is about a basic differentiation of freedoms that I see a lot of people forget out there in this big world of God and committing horrendous blunders because of that.

https://acesso.me/blog/?s=software+livre

When you do not know something and begins to be taught (by someone, something, somewhere) , you are always faced with their freedom of choice. Have you noticed that? Think with me:

You are a child who has lived his whole life going to church because their parents made you, one day you get to learn different things about different religions or the science that explains the miraculous facts happen in the Bible, you who never before had access to this kind of information now have in your hands an incredible freedom! The freedom to choose which path to tread! What do you know, what you decided to create joining the two or abstain from everything and not walk any more of them! Note, the real freedom of choice of what to do only happens when you acquire knowledge of the facts.

With regard to its philosophical / marketing / professional position / practical / emotional in essentially all of life is like that.

When we speak of free software the decision to join the movement (at any level of membership you think necessary) is the very same thing. You never heard of the hell would SL and when acquires knowledge, you have ALL the freedom of the world decide to join this computational philosophy / social or not! The same goes for the OSI (which, yes, has a pegged philosophy the initiative, but the same, although similar in some respects to the Free Software has different primary points), with Proprietary Software and any other type of computing that there is out there that I do not know.

However, from the moment you use your freedom of choice and makes a decision, you automatically ceases to have that freedom. You decided to follow a path! And your options are: follow him or stop following him, anything else will be a variant of these two …

It’s Complicated is not it?

Let a few examples.

In the 1980s when Stallman could no longer fit the computational model to his work at MIT proposed to him, he decided with the freedom of his choice, create an alternative that computer model and began to base I would be (in 1983) the Free Software Movement, movement of which I am adept and milito in favor. Stallman lost freedom of choice when it decided which way to walk …

There between 1998 and 1999, Bruce Perens and Raymond S. Erc founded the OSI (Open Source Initiative) as a dicidente model of Free Software! They trailed different paths, used their freedom of choice and began to walk the path of Free Software, decided that one way not beating right with its ideals and did not follow it … thus creating a proper way …

E just as these people used the freedom of their choice (that Microsoft used as slang for your maravicalamitoso Windows98) I used mine and I decided to follow the movement founded by Stallman … after making that decision, I gave up my freedom.

The whole problem is that, for us we made that decision consciously, it is extremely clear and objective! Gotta be! If you resolve to join a movement called Free Software in a society that preaches Freedom of Choice, your decision and what it entails has to be very clear! Unfortunately, not everyone can separate one from the other … possibly the confusion of names or perhaps unwillingness to understand, do not know …

An example of this is the way that anti SL communities (I will not call -las OSI pro or pro pro Microsoft or anything else, because it is not good to generalize), these anti SL communities has in its members a rooted flea such that come texts of the Free Software activists simply for being in favor of something they are against, become a personal affront … Citing here as an example the episode of FLISOL without Ubuntu, where several people (including myself) have published texts in favor of the inclusion of distro from Canonical in a Free Software installation festival . Out of nowhere, after the disclosure of the texts, any one who had posted was someone who was delaying the growth of Free Software, because Canonical it, Canonical that … and the vast majority of chorumesca mass (one that just wants to be hater without seeking healthy arguments) started trying to dilute the #semUbuntu movement trying to diminish the importance of it.

Not so …

#semUbuntu and #maisGNU, although two different names, is one movement formed by Free Software activists who see that the movement has lost its strength over the years, even in the event where the movement itself was focus. And this movement pro free software decided to start a militancy in favor of a distribution cleaning GNU / Linux not free distributed by Canonical, simply because it is the most used and business bias (other than CentOS, Fedora or any minor Ubuntu refisefuqui that They are guided by community). The militancy of #semUbuntu / #maisGNU is, always has been and always will be in favor of free software and its representativeness. This means that the #semUbuntu not give a damn about OpenSUSE, Fedora, CentOS, Elementary or any other distro that distribute the linux kernel does not clean blobs and a shovel proprietary software by default in your installation? Anyway! We are #semUbuntu yes! But we are always #maisGNU! This means that the more free software, the better! So much so that I am at this moment writing this text using the gedit in a trisquel running on a Thinkpad X60s with libreboot which is my standard work equipment, and you know what? The feeling for me as Free Software activist, is almost divine …

Taking advantage of this text which aims to finish time with some confusion, also I want to make an addendum those who try to hurt free software activists the fallacy that without free hardware there is no free software.

Just as Freedom of Choice and Software Freedom are two completely different things, Freedom of Software and Hardware Freedom are too. Freedom of software depends on the community to happen. Once there is free software developers writing programs and people using Free Software is alive. Freedom of hardware depends exclusively common marketing models. If a manufacturer decides whether or not to open the source of your peripherals to the community and let them or not under the four freedoms, is a choice of manufacturer, choose that for them it is a purely monetary issue.

Think me, Intel would be more interested today in releasing the schematics of his next line I7 to the community and risk of AMD catch these schemes, improve them and make a new line of processors or would of greatest interest to keep these esqueme to 37 feet off the ground? I’m not saying I agree with this view, but exposing one of many barriers.

In any case, the fact is, the existence of software freedom depend on the freedom of the hardware, but depends on the friendliness of it, as is the case of this Thinkpad X60s I’m using. After flashing the libreboot it, I had to open the creature and change the wifi card for one that was friendly to free firmware release my netbook of the BIOS handcuffs (proprietary software) for something free, let me make a hardware change, one that does not work with free firmware for one that works! Free Software is independent of hardware free!

I hope this text has clarified the minds of some of you about the difference between free software, freedom of choice and freedom of hardware.

They are different things, independent from one another and (it comes to the software freedom and choice) are not interchangeable.

For now it is, stay in peace and see you soon.

The structure, DNA, the “software” – JJ can claim patents – More Football

For very sad that they are fans faithful Benfica – plus some that have now become admittedly former coach of enemies, let alone preponderant elements of the club present (there are many good exceptions if apparent leader) that many have made to keep simmer a few times, under high flames other, the ideological confrontation and dialectic with the one that won the club the last ten titles, the undeniable truth is this: if he was waiting for the big test to Jorge class Jesus, the coach has triumphed across the board as the sum of the undisputed Sporting victory in the mythical red room.

The triumph of Sporting, unblemished, was expressed in the lead with considerable numbers and the result of an operation where his tactical ability, individually and collectively, was far superior to the antagonist. This is nothing new, something long overdue for a long time because Benfica throughout history have been better. Was also a small victory of its President, because after all that has happened in recent times was the game, gave the club face, was part of the team, Jorge Jesus shared with jeers and insults, and at the end of 3 0, with lions dominating in Eagle land, received the laurels of his leadership. However, and Bruno de Carvalho knows, and he knew it perfectly, the winner of this remarkable journey to the Sporting had a face to dominate: Jorge Jesus.

Recognized Benfica, as Jesus rightly said, can only be against the coach in minutes where the eagles are the lions, as rivals and opponents. For this last adrenaline it is impossible to forget your work in six years. Yes, I could have a few more titles, but what we got was remarkable if we take into account the FC domain Port and we remember that in European competition, although in the Champions balance is little, get twice the final of the Europa League It is not common thing to a country like Portugal.

this sense, and now coming back to the fore the issue, it proved for the second time in the structure that Benfica both enhances and makes a point of honor still missing a key piece: Jorge Jesus. Missing it and squires who decided to follow him to Alvalade / Alcochete. Quaresma, Raul and Monteiro, come Mota, are the mainstay of a winning idea titled by the leader. This is not to say that whoever was in the Light / Seixal has no value and ability, nothing like that. Have it, but until proven otherwise lack them who guided them, JJ.

This is one of the major problems of the Incarnate this: not being because the capabilities of Rui Vitória, the results achieved, not just against Sporting, Benfica will take some time, it seems to me, to build a winning structure as the previous (as keep the earlier it seems out of the question). If you like, like Benfica want to spend: the structure is there, but it lacks the essential, Jorge Jesus and his peers.

Along with the structure “made in JJ» follows his coach DNA in various aspects, highlighting two: the markedly tactic, its main brand image as a leading soccer teams; the soccer professional, conscious and grateful. On the first reality simple repairs: remained true to his dominant idea, although it passed to the outside, to confuse, that Sporting could only play with a striker. The pressure capacity of the leonine players on the carrier side of the ball has been outstanding for 90 minutes. There are now players in Sporting able to make top quality various positions – João Mário is one of many examples. But what Jorge Jesus does today at Sporting did so for six years at Benfica. And when we ask today because disappeared Pizzi, the only answer I can find is this: no longer have Jorge Jesus as a coach.

The other aspect which I refer is the high way the coach went through a press room that was his and filled dozens of times. Taking the remoques Rui Vitória, but this time who put his way was the Benfica coach JJ proved to be respectful and grateful to Benfica in the words used during the minutes that was asked. And this is a reality that Benfica can not forget: the coach will never forget the years she spent in the Light and what Benfica did for his career. He proved it eloquently. The problem is that after this result, for good and for evil, even if you do not, the rubra nation will find it harder to forget the technical …

Finally, the so famous software , one of the reasons that is part of the lawsuit filed by Benfica coach. JJ played with it pointing to his head, but in this regard I am convinced that the club following that Sporting will make improvements in this component. Criticisms aside the rival model, which in truth already has some small nuances when compared with the past, what dominates is the brain. And JJ continues to be room for innovation. And they are very similar situations … every man, every sentence. No speculation, because the results help us understand much: Jorge Jesus proved once again, that is the coach of the moment. As much it costs to some of the rawness opinion. Therefore, for the avoidance of many doubts, I think Jorge Jesus will very in time to register a number of patents. Eventually million gain much more than those who are guaranteed to get in Alvalade.

PS: with the turbulence being experienced around the election at FIFA dismay me not to see Luis Figo in the race, having been recently training for the job . Or confirms what I hear long, that can be the future number one on the FPF.

Jesus: “It’s all the same, the software I left here» – More Football

Jorge Jesus does not believe that his presence in the Light as rival was intimidating for players of Benfica, while insisting on the idea that your knowledge of the rival was decisive. In between, a joke about software, an expression on the agenda because of the process that has moved the club to him.

“I do not think I could have some negative influence for players of Benfica. It took six years, it is true, it is true that much that is happening today has to do with the years worked with me, but I think it had no influence. He had more because I knew, of course, all that one team could do. I knew and knew the players of Sporting. Construction phases, set pieces, defensive, offensive, everything is the same, the software I left here.

“Nothing more than that happened. The Benfica players have a lot of personality, I thought the Benfica players even lose serene. The fans also had a spectacular behavior, the support given to the team was spectacular Because of Sporting, albeit less. Throughout the championship have been behind the team. The Sporting has a mass of power, fans, “he continued.

Later, asked if the pressure of Sporting in the first game of the construction phase had been decisive, the coach responded: “It’s a bit what I think and think, but do not want to dwell too much on this, but I will enjoy having said what I think at this stage of the game and say smartass, won the game and is taking advantage of it. But it is one of the subjects who spent the preparation of the team “

The DevOps word is an amalgam of the developer and operations words. In its definition, DevOps is a software development methodology, still new, but revolutionary, which seeks to explore the communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and IT professionals.

Your goal It is to combat excessive individuality and independence among developers in the process of creating a software. The idea built with this is to create software faster and more organized way.

Despite being debated and disseminated by blogs and IT professionals since before 2009, this is still a new production model in action in the market. It grew out of a need to expand the concept of object orientation, which facilitated the production of software dividing them into modules, but still suffered from the exaggerated independence of each unit (object) and its private developer.

In a market that requires constant software updates, sometimes more than ten days, no time for a detailed debugging of several separate objects of a program, a guideline based on DevOps therefore necessary to expedite the process. DevOps standardizes the development environment, and events can be followed more easily, as well as control of documented processes and reporting and program documentation.

This process allows the developer to maintain its autonomy but without turning off the whole, preventing line code fixes the line are required. The goal is to automate as much as possible of operational processes, without them losing cohesion. . It is a revolution of agile software development

The use of DevOps practices streamlines the development process by privilege (not ignore):

• Individuals and interactions more than processes and tools.
• Product or service working more to have comprehensive documentation.
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
• Respond to change over following the predefined plan.

The model becomes responsive to common changes in development, and rightfully so is ideal for software that is constantly updated, they do not get stuck in locked molds. The agility, while reducing the time for deliveries, frees up time for running tests, which increases the amount of identified defects, which increases the quality of the product / service.

The main target audience of this methodology It is the company that has a focus on quality, but need agility. Among the main innovations introduced by DevOps should highlight breaking historic barriers between the areas of development and operation, the massive use of automation and control infrastructure as control code.

Like any cultural change that methodology generates friction between the areas involved. The shared responsibility of the project as a whole usually causes the perception of loss of control parts of the process that were once the exclusive domain of each developer. But we note that this is just one of the common adaptation problems in change, particularly in digital technology.

The use of DevOps practices is a global trend and the benefits have been measured in some research, such as 2014 DevOps Report or Hype Cycle for Application Services, 2015. growing pains will still be felt for a while, but as always, the market demand, the technology adapts and we changed to accompany a world that never stops spinning.

Disney creates near-perfect facial recognition software; check – Look Digital

The Disney created a facial recognition able to capture the empressões someone and turn them into real-time animation software. While smiling or expressing anger, displeasure or anger, his face just showing some wrinkles that help face the expresar some emotions. According to the studio, although the animation software have is sophisticated over the years, it is still difficult to translate these subtle changes in characters.

“While existing models simplify the capture problems and facilitate the work, they fail to capture the unique shapes and facial details of the individual, like wrinkles on the forehead or so-called crow’s feet around the eyes, “says Disney.

The new program uses a camera to quickly read changes in the expression of a person and then convert them into an “animated mask” that changes in real time. To begin the conversion, the person sits in front of a camera and make the desired facial expressions. . From there, the software converts the expressions in a “wrinkle map,” which is used to create the mask

Opel refutes charges of fraudulent use software – OJE (press release)

Opel categorically refutes the statements made by the organization Deutsche Umwelthilfe. Says in a statement: “the software in electronic management engine developed by GM does not have any feature that is capable of detecting if the vehicle is being subjected to an exhaust emission test. This is true for all our vehicles. “

It also notes the framework that” the alleged test conducted by Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) to a unit Zafira you can not understand. It is not acceptable that the DUH produce conclusions without disclosing the alleged results, which were requested by us on multiple occasions “

It continues to note:.” As soon as we received the communication from Deutsche Umwelthilfe on this topic, our engineers underwent a car of the same model – an engine with Zafira Diesel 1.6 Euro. 6 – the more a battery of tests according to the standards, both on a bench of two rolls trials as a four rolls

Result: the values ​​comply with the legal limits in both tests, the settings of two and four wheels. This would also be the one expected result, since the fact that the rear wheels are in motion or immobilized has no influence on the emission systems. This means that the allegations are manifestly false, baseless “.

Volkswagen fraud software can be higher than if … – Look Digital

The controversy involving Volkswagen software that defrauds the amount of emission of pollutants in vehicles appears to be greater than previously thought. According to The New York Times, the automaker warned on Thursday, 22, who is investigating the possibility of other cars having programs that also allow tampering.

Earlier this week, Reuters released a report pointing out that Volkswagen has developed several versions of the solution capable of handling test results. Sources also claim that a number of employees may be involved in the case.

In September, the company confessed to having used one able to identify when a diesel vehicle software was being tested, temporarily reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to get a good performance in the race. So far, about 11 million cars and commercial vehicles, including models Golf, Passat and Jetta, were affected.

According to the company, the defect can be fixed with a software update or mechanical adjustments.

The Volkswagen spokesman declined to comment on the total number of cars that may have been affected.

Brazil

In Brazil, models 2011 and 2012 the Amarok pickup may have information incorrect pollutants. The manufacturer announced that it will send letters to owners of cars from the first quarter of 2016 to the system to be updated.

Volkswagen says that fraudulent software does not involve more engines – publico

                 

                         
                     

                 

 
 

Once you have advanced that it was investigating the older version of the latest line of engines, Volkswagen ensures that these have not installed the software that handles emissions tests.

In were the engines EA288, which in 2012 replaced the fraudulent EA 189, and the first version was also designed in the Euro 5

The German group had announced already on Thursday that these engines were under research. However, in a statement sent to the German news agency DPA, Volkswagen is now clear that “there was no installed software that represents a forbidden blocking mechanism according to the law” on the EA288 engine type.

Reuters states that, despite having added no later than the Euro 5 version, or the Euro 6 engine EA 288 were installed emissions manipulation software, Volkswagen not specify what variants were examined how many vehicles are not affected.

Earlier, a spokesman for Volkswagen, quoted by the same agency, stated that the first versions of the EA288 engine were being detailed study targeted to assess whether this model has also been manipulated to circumvent the emissions testing.

So, it remains the number advanced by the group in September. Volkswagen then pointed to 11 million vehicles of the Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat to circulate fraudulent engines worldwide.

In the same month, the German company said it has reserved 6 provisions , 5 billion euros to deal with the emissions-fixing scandal, it is not yet possible to calculate the final cost.
