E em encher o peito com orgulho desmedido por alguma trivialidade. E cuspir no chão. E morder a mão que os alimenta. E de serem ou de se armarem em chico-espertos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E é por causa do chico-espertismo epidemológico que assola este país à beira-mar plantado que eu, antes de mais, queria pedir desculpas à direcção do IKEA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante os primeiros tempos logo após a inauguração da IKEA em Matosinhos, senti-me como estando a ser convidado para ir a casa de uns amigos sempre que lá ia. E ia amiúde. Acontece que a partir de dada altura, comecei a ver alguns avisos que achei no mínimo caricatos. Estes eram discretos, mas mais ou menos do género “os copos de gelado é só para encher uma vez”! Da primeira vez que vi esse tipo de avisos, e que percebi porque é que eles teriam sido colocados, senti-me corar. De vergonha. Por perceber que se eles começaram a por esse tipo de avisos tanto tempo após a inauguração, era porque constataram que por cá, isso era necessário!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Percebi também que o estereótipo de ser português arrisca-se a ser antes de mais o de ser um indivíduo mal-educado sem civismo nenhum. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bom, entre os risos (abafados) dos chico-espertos que têm por hábito atestar o copo uma dúzia de vezes e que estão a ler estas linhas, espero que ainda se perceba que há indivíduos que fogem á regra e que tentam ter um comportamento honesto e digno. E que mesmo contra a maioria não têm problemas em tirar a peneira da frente do sol. E que dizem as coisas na bochecha. E quem quiser que enfie o barrete!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/953877042557467868-6729730320118599394?l=blog.rodolfomatos.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/feeds/6729730320118599394/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=953877042557467868&amp;postID=6729730320118599394' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/6729730320118599394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/6729730320118599394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2009/07/pedido-de-desculpas-ikea.html' title='Pedido de desculpas à IKEA'/><author><name>Rodolfo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01630189276648042310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10039214313983621735'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953877042557467868.post-242584427301262111</id><published>2009-07-01T10:26:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-01T10:38:23.727+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Tratamento para o Cancro: finalmente uma resposta!</title><content type='html'>É com enorme prazer que vi a notícia que transcrevo abaixo que apareceu na Reuters (obrigado Mário por ma teres enviado!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Scientists kill cancer cells with "trojan horse"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mon Jun 29, 2009 5:57am EDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Michael Perry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian scientists have developed a "trojan horse" therapy to combat cancer, using a bacterially-derived nano cell to penetrate and disarm the cancer cell before a second nano cell kills it with chemotherapy drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "trojan horse" therapy has the potential to directly target cancer cells with chemotherapy, rather than the current treatment that sees chemotherapy drugs injected into a cancer patient and attacking both cancer and healthy cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sydney scientists Dr Jennifer MacDiarmid and Dr Himanshu Brahmbhatt, who formed EnGenelC Pty Ltd in 2001, said they had achieved 100 percent survival in mice with human cancer cells by using the "trojan horse" therapy in the past two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scientists plan to start human clinical trials in the coming months. Human trials of the cell delivery system will start next week at the Peter MacCullum Cancer Center at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Austin at the University of Melbourne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The therapy, published in the latest Nature Biotechnology journal, sees mini-cells called EDVs (EnGenelC Delivery Vehicle) attach and enter the cancer cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first wave of mini-cells release ribonucleic acid molecules, called siRNA, which switch off the production of proteins that make the cancer cell resistant to chemotherapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A second wave of EDV cells is then accepted by the cancer cell and releases chemotherapy drugs, killing the cancer cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The beauty is that our EDVs operate like 'Trojan Horses' They arrive at the gates of the affected cells and are always allowed in," said MacDiarmid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are playing the rogue cells at their own game. They switch-on the gene to produce the protein to resist drugs, and we are switching-off the gene which, in turn, enables the drugs to enter."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DISARMING TUMOUR CELLS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RNA interference, or RNAi, is designed to silence genes responsible for producing disease-causing proteins and is one of the hottest areas of biotechnology research. RNA was the basis of the 2006 Nobel Prize in medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dozens of biotechnology companies are looking for ways to manipulate RNA to block genes that produce disease-causing proteins involved in cancer, blindness or AIDS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brahmbhatt said that after treatment with conventional drug therapy, a large number of cancer cells die but a small percentage of the cells can produce proteins that make cancer cells resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Consequently, follow-up drug treatments can fail. The tumors thus become untreatable and continue to flourish, ultimately killing the patient," said Brahmbhatt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We want to be part of moving toward a time when cancers can be managed as a chronic disease rather than being regarded as a death sentence," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nature report said the mini-cells were "well tolerated with no adverse side effects or deaths in any of the actively treated animals, despite repeated dosing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Significantly, our methodology does not damage the normal cells and is applicable to a wide spectrum of solid cancer types," said MacDiarmid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The hope is that the benign nature of this EDV technology should enable cancer sufferers to get on with their lives and operate normally using out-patient therapy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de 2 anos a tentar que alguém me desse uma resposta ao post que fiz &lt;a href="http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2007/10/cura.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;, e em que ninguém me deu resposta (e perguntei a toda a gente de que me lembrei, o que foi desde a laboratórios de pesquisa como o IPATIMUP até à revista Super Interessante e até a uma submissão ao Project Google 10^100) tenho finalmente a resposta: SIM! A ideia não é parva, o conceito até parece funcionar!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As minhas maiores felicitações ao Dr Jennifer MacDiarmid e ao Dr Himanshu Brahmbhatt.

REALLY nothing. No energy, no masses, no things lying around, no rules. Absolute nothing (more or less like "Absolutely Fabulous..." :P )&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine, that from nothing appeared something. A particle. Since there is no rules yet, no time, no space no nothing, then the particle would create itself the rules needed for it, namely: space (probably 3D coordinates in Cartesian coordinates, since it's the simple thing that Nature can use)... since there is no time, the particle can disappear and appear somewhere else, thus creating a relation between two particles, that are in fact just one. Time is still a no-no, remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that is the case, in a infinitude of time that does not exist (I know, this seems contradictory, but think it through...), the particle can iteratively appear in several places, that way creating some sort of mass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think on that mass like like marbles in a glass bowl, or even a bowl of spaghetti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now my idea is this: if you look outside the bowl, and take a picture of what you see in the glass bowl, you'll get a photo of some wavy lines, with some lines looking that are going away, others approaching and the like (since you're representing in a 2D representation something that really exists in 3D "behind the camera"!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what would you "see" in your photo? If what is "real" exists in 3D, then we have something like 6 different kind of particles (-x,-y,-z,+x,+y,+z), BUT since we're "taking a photo", the coordinate that is perpendicular to our photo should not appear in our universe, i.e., the most common sub-atomic particles in our Universe should be exactly 5!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, go to Wikipedia and see how many quarks there are... :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It shows that I'm a true nerd, doesn't it show? :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what happens when I don't anything to read in the W.C. ... :-D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/953877042557467868-4563914178705317481?l=blog.rodolfomatos.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/feeds/4563914178705317481/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=953877042557467868&amp;postID=4563914178705317481' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/4563914178705317481'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/4563914178705317481'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2009/01/god-universe-behind-big-bang-and-other.html' title='God &amp; The Universe: behind the Big Bang and other stuff'/><author><name>Rodolfo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01630189276648042310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10039214313983621735'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953877042557467868.post-5535747818300768621</id><published>2009-01-13T15:49:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-01-13T15:52:08.699Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Citações'/><title type='text'>Reflexão V</title><content type='html'>"O homem realmente culto não se envergonha de fazer perguntas aos menos instruidos"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lao Zi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/953877042557467868-5535747818300768621?l=blog.rodolfomatos.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/feeds/5535747818300768621/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=953877042557467868&amp;postID=5535747818300768621' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/5535747818300768621'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/5535747818300768621'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2009/01/reflexo-v.html' title='Reflexão V'/><author><name>Rodolfo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01630189276648042310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10039214313983621735'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953877042557467868.post-2170090610705773931</id><published>2009-01-06T15:44:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-01-08T19:23:10.412Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Opiniões'/><title type='text'>Manifesto da Responsabilização Democrática</title><content type='html'>Apesar da boa vontade, todos os partidos políticos, independentemente da ideologia que pretendem seguir, facilmente vão cair no "mais do mesmo". E a razão é simples: a estrutura usada por todos é a de uma estrutura que vai ter de se subjugar às regras (políticas) vigentes. Ou seja, tem de entrar no jogo político para que alguns eleitores lhes dêem a responsabilidade de escolher por eles durante um determinado periodo. Creio que sucintamente é apenas isso. Um partido político, tenta então arranjar técnicos competentes para exercer uma determinada função, desresponsabilizando os eleitores do processo. E estes podem, no fim, repetir o voto de confiança. Ou não.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que se passa é que "nos entretantos", o povão desliga. Afinal sempre é mais interessante ver futebol. E é mais imediato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sugiro uma abordagem diferente já que se está na onda das novas tecnologias: imaginem que existe um sistema de "Deputados Virtuais (DV)". Esses deputados, ocupam lugar, MAS têm uma inteligência colectiva. Aliás SÃO apenas uma inteligência colectiva!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ou seja: Num site, todos os eleitores/votantes que elegeram um determinado deputado, têm a possibilidade de contribuir DIA APÓS DIA com um SIM/NÃO em TODOS os votos em que o DV participar, e o voto desse DV é simplesmente a média ponderada dos votos dos eleitores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que é que os eleitores beneficiam? Bom, divide-se o ORDENADO do DV pelo nº de votos e pelo nº de votantes participantes. ISSO cria uma estrutura muito parecida com a  Bolsa de Valores ou qualquer sistema de apostas, que são conhecidos por serem inteligências colectivas muito mais eficientes do que um mero técnico uni-cerebral... :-P Além disso, cria um sentimento de "Responsabilização Democrática". Ah, e também pôe os restantes deputados REAIS de sobreaviso... (ou portamo-nos bem, ou ainda somos substituidos...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E quem diz deputados...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/953877042557467868-2170090610705773931?l=blog.rodolfomatos.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/feeds/2170090610705773931/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=953877042557467868&amp;postID=2170090610705773931' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/2170090610705773931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/2170090610705773931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2009/01/manifesto-da-responsabilizao-democrtica.html' title='Manifesto da Responsabilização Democrática'/><author><name>Rodolfo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01630189276648042310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10039214313983621735'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953877042557467868.post-8503952108285238128</id><published>2009-01-06T15:42:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-01-08T19:23:31.394Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Opiniões'/><title type='text'>O Ensino Útil para quem vive numa Sociedade de Consumo</title><content type='html'>Pergunta: Se o cérebro de uma pessoa for um conjunto de páginas em branco, e se passarmos a vida a encher essas páginas de conhecimentos, como fazemos que essas páginas se tornem tão úteis como uma enciclopédia?&lt;br /&gt;Resposta: Ensinamos a criar um ÍNDICE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penso que se deu demasiado ênfase ao ensino da matéria A, B, C, etc. E esqueceram-se completamente da INTEGRAÇÃO dos conhecimentos. Não existe um fio condutor. Para além disso, se o que se pretende é criar cidadãos que saibam ser realmente produtivos, talvez se devesse largar a estrutura do ensino da era industrial e pensar um bocadinho no que é uma sociedade nos dias de hoje!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essencialmente, numa sociedade de consumo, o que interessa é ganhar dinheiro para viver. E o que se ensina é: é preciso trabalhar para viver. Não se ensina que se pode ganhar a vida sem trabalhar :) (Parece que estou a brincar, não é?) Isso pode ser feito essencialmente de duas maneiras: tendo dinheiro a trabalhar por nós, ou tendo negócios a trabalhar por nós. (Exemplos: acções, títulos, obrigações, mercados de capital, fundos mútuos, imobiliário arrendado, direitos (livros, música, software) licenciamento de ideias...) Onde é que se ensina a "brincar" com essas coisas?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É curioso que todo o ensino é feito para criar novas gerações de trabalhadores qualificados (para trabalharem para conta de outrém...)... E seria tão simples criar novas disciplinas para ensinar a ganhar dinheiro em vez de ser a trabalhar... Afinal não há isso agora dos "Tempos Livres"???&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/953877042557467868-8503952108285238128?l=blog.rodolfomatos.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/feeds/8503952108285238128/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=953877042557467868&amp;postID=8503952108285238128' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/8503952108285238128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/8503952108285238128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2009/01/o-ensino-til-para-quem-vive-numa.html' title='O Ensino Útil para quem vive numa Sociedade de Consumo'/><author><name>Rodolfo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01630189276648042310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10039214313983621735'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953877042557467868.post-2098399077180230125</id><published>2008-10-22T17:36:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-03T13:57:03.049Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflexões'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tutoriais'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Perspectivas'/><title type='text'>The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NLlGopyXT_g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NLlGopyXT_g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/953877042557467868-2098399077180230125?l=blog.rodolfomatos.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/feeds/2098399077180230125/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=953877042557467868&amp;postID=2098399077180230125' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/2098399077180230125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/953877042557467868/posts/default/2098399077180230125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.rodolfomatos.net/2008/10/machine-is-using-us-final-version.html' title='The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)'/><author><name>Rodolfo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01630189276648042310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10039214313983621735'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953877042557467868.post-189675064274818327</id><published>2008-10-20T13:33:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-20T13:34:00.974+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Humor'/><title type='text'>World War -
