The pattern making process is a key step in the development of apparel products. In this process, it is necessary to develop basic patterns, which serve as basis for the interpretation of different types of clothes.The purpose of this article is to present the automation of the basic patterns design process for women's pants construction. To do so, we used the Grasshopper parametric modeling program, which is a plugin of the Rhinoceros software. This system allows a parameterization of shapes, in a way that allows an adaptation of measurements of the geometry created.For the development of the tracing of the basic models of the women's pants, we used the steps indicated in the garment modeling method proposed by Romero (1995). The process in the Grasshopper uses mathematical operations and tools for drawing points, lines and curves.With the automation of the basic mold tracing, it is possible to adapt parameters according to the measurement chart of individual companies or customers.This adaptation also assists in the creation of several custom patterns, such as other types of pants and shorts, which can be interpreted through the basic pattern of pants. In a comparative analysis with the traditional method, the moldsgenerated in the Grasshopper obtained high fidelity in comparison to the tracing done manually, which allows the development of the molds without loss of quality. In this context, this project also aims to collaborate in the construction of a set of basic patterns that support the development of custom clothing.

Objective: Vaccines are effective in controlling and eradicating infectious diseases. However, adverse events following immunization (AEFI) can occur in susceptible individuals. The objective of this study was to analyze the Brazilian AEFI database and compare eight vaccines in order to profile risks of AEFIs related to the mandated pediatric schedule of immunization, considering the age and sex of the child, type of vaccine, and reported adverse events. Methods: We analyzed the Brazilian AEFI database integrating reports between 2005 and 2010 for children less than 10-years old immunized with eight mandated vaccines: diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae type b (TETRA); diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP); Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG); oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV); measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); oral rotavirus vaccine (ORV); hepatitis B (HB); and yellow fever (YF). We compared the children’s age regarding types of AEFI, evaluated AEFI factors associated with the chance of hospitalization of the child, and estimated the chance of notification of an AEFI as a function of the type of vaccine. In total, 47,105 AEFIs were observed for the mandated vaccines. Results: The highest AEFI rate was for the TETRA vaccine and the lowest was for the OPV vaccine, with 60.1 and 2.3 events per 100,000 inoculations, respectively. The TETRA vaccine showed the highest rate of hypotonic hyporesponsive episode, followed by convulsion and fever. The MMR and YF vaccines were associated with generalized rash. BCG was associated with enlarged lymph glands but showed the largest negative (protective) association with hyporesponsive events and seizures. Compared with children aged 5–9-years old, young children (<1 year) showed significantly higher odds of hospitalization. Conclusions: The Brazilian AEFI registry is useful to compare the magnitude and certain characteristics of adverse events associated with mandated pediatric vaccines.

A tese da mente estendida alega que ao menos alguns processos cognitivos se estendem para além do cérebro do organismo no sentido de que eles são constituídos por ações realizadas por esse organismo no ambiente ao seu redor. Um movimento mais radical seria alegar que ações sociais realizadas pelo organismo poderiam, pelo menos, constituir alguns dos seus processos cognitivos. Isso pode ser chamando de tese da mente socialmente estendida. Baseando-me na noção de affordance tal como ela foi desenvolvida na tradição da psicologia ecológica, defendo que a percepção se estende ao meio ambiente. Então, apoiado no fenômeno da atenção conjunta, estendo a noção de affordance para incorporar affordances sociais. Assim, a percepção pode, em algumas situações, ser também estendida socialmente.
