New Al System could prevent vessel collisions by reducing dependence on ship Captain

Researchers at Texas A&M University have created an intelligent Al system that can help prevent accidents and collisions at sea. Named 'Ship Collision Avoidance of Machine Learning and Radar Technology for Stationary Entities and Avoidance', or SMART-SEA, the platform works to decrease the dependence on ship captains.

The project team was led by Dr Mirjan Fürth, an assistant professor of ocean engineering, who was awarded a contract by the US Department of the Interior (DOI) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) through the Ocean Energy Safety Institute (OESI). It is not completely an autonomous system, rather it provides 'a human-in-theloop', who gives real-time instructions based on maritime traffic,weather and other factors.

This makes navigation safer and easier for the crew, transiting crucial or dangerous waterways by providing additional information and instructions. Collisions between vessels and accidents like ships hitting stationary structures like rigs or lighthouses are becoming common, and most are caused by human error. This Al system will help eliminate that, stated the project team.

Massive vessels have a lot of forward momentum that their shipping distances are measured in miles rather than metres. They also turn very slowly, meaning that any collision has to factor in this slow movement while also adjusting for sensor time lags, ocean current impacts and several other factors.

The Al system has been developed keeping all the above-mentioned factors in mind and is extremely accurate. The research team also said that the system combines raw radar imaging data with machine learning, enabling it to identify moving objects even in bad weather with limited visibility.

The machine learning algorithm detects stationary objects as well from a large distance. The system uses computational fluid dynamics models and machine learning, which have been previously trained on vessel motions, the team added. The system does all of this while complying with International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).

Vamos falar sobre pronomes relativos, um tema importante para a clareza das frases. Pronomes relativos conectam orações, evitando repetições. Os principais em inglês são: who (para pessoas), which (para coisas ou animais), that (para pessoas, animais ou coisas, mas usado de forma restritiva), whose (possessivo, para pessoas ou coisas), where (para lugares) e when (para tempo).

A questão pede a alternativa onde o pronome relativo está correto. Analisando:

a) Usa 'that' para um sujeito definido com vírgulas – incorreto, pois com vírgulas indica oração explicativa e 'that' não é usado; deveria ser 'which'.

b) Usa 'which' para pessoas – incorreto; para pessoas deve ser 'who'.

c) 'for which' já indica a preposição 'for', mas a frase termina com 'for' novamente, tornando-o redundante e incorreto.

d) 'whose' indica posse corretamente, relacionado ao 'seafarer' (marinheiro). Está correto.

e) 'where' usado de forma incorreta; a frase "The port where we visited" deveria ser "The port that we visited" ou "The port which we visited". 'Where' não funciona com verbo 'visit'.

Portanto, a alternativa correta é a letra d.

Gabarito: d

Read the text to answer the question.

To begin the dialogue on cultural identity, it is essential to establish a baseline understanding the concept. Culture can be defined by the “totality of that group’s [a community or population] thought, experiences, and patterns of behavior and its concepts, values, and assumptions about life that guide behavior and how those evolve with contact with other cultures.” Cultural identity refers to people who identify themselves with a specific cultural group that has a shared system of symbols and norms for conduct. Recognition of this identity facilitates others’ understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by individuals within a cultural group. To assist in understanding the basics of cultural identity, symbols and narratives as elements of culture will be examined in this section.

As many of our judgments are based on external observations, it should not be surprising that identities are shaped through use of symbols. According to sociologist Erik Cohen, the use of symbols in defining identity is a universal human trait. Symbols are employed in value systems such as religion, nationalism, social ideologies, and ethnicity. There are times when symbols become so significant to an existing cultural group’s identity that they stand out amongst all other symbols, dominating the narrative of cultural identity of that group. Dominant symbol systems provide “a set of stories, images, landscapes, scenarios, historical events, national symbols, and rituals which represent the shared experiences, sorrows, and triumphs and disasters which give meaning to the nation.” Therefore, understanding how complex symbol systems function and transmit meaning can help with assessing the motivations that underlie a cultural group’s actions. This is key to developing appropriate engagement strategies with cultural groups in urban environments.

Cultural groups use narrativesas a conduit for conveying messages. Narratives can be used as an analytical framework for understanding a wide spectrum of human activities. The stories conveyed through narrative can be viewed as building-blocks of identity in that they enable cultural groups to understand who they are and what they are in relation to others external to their group. In the search to understand cultural identities, knowledge of a cultural group’s narrative is “instructive for understanding how decisions might have come about, the motivations for actions, the causal assumptions drawn, and the arguments put forward, as well as a variety of other actions or variables. ”Therefore, it can be deduced that the future urban environment an Army may find itself operating within will witness a multitude of competing narratives, which may be further exacerbated by competition over limited resources and power.

Based on the excerpt, analyze the classification and referential function of the pronouns and choose the alternative in which both are correctly identified.
- a) In “people who identify themselves with a specific cultural group”, the reflexive pronoun “themselves” refers to symbols.
- b) In “Recognition of this identity facilitates others’ understanding”, the demonstrative pronoun “this” refers to cultural identity.
- c) In “they enable cultural groups to understand who they are”, the subject pronoun “they” refers to cultural groups.
- d) In “a cultural group’s narrative”, the possessive form “group’s” refers to individuals within the group.

Entertainment

In the summer of 1944, the popular comedian and radio personality Bob Hope began another of his famous tours of military camps for the United Service Organizations (USO). This particular tour made stops in Hawaii and on small islands all across the Pacific theater, where Hope and his troupe performed 150 shows in two months. American military personnel loved the shows. Hope's jokes and silly stunts made them laugh and took their minds away from the war for a few minutes. Entertainment gave them something to fight for.

A New Trend in Cryptocurrency: Selling Your Iris

Characters of countless sci-fi films have relied on iris scans to unlock hidden rooms, power up advanced gadgets, or authenticate their identities in a tech-centric world. What once was only a Hollywood fantasy is now becoming a reality, with similar applications just around the corner. These days, it’s not unusual to hear about shopping malls in cities like Barcelona featuring tiny booths where visitors scan their eyes. The concept is puzzling, especially when they explain that the goal is to “scan your iris to give you cryptocurrencies.”

Worldcoin, one of Sam Altman’s (director of OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT) ventures, has recently gained increased attention due to their new initiative: offering money in exchange for iris scans. Worldcoin scans the biometric data of the eye and then compensates individuals with cryptocurrency. However, many ask the same questions: What (1)____ Worldcoin gain from our iris? What (2)____ they really planning to do with it? Why (3)____ the iris so important? How (4)____ it affect your privacy?

Unlike data such as phone numbers, credit cards, or passwords, biometric data is unchangeable. Biometric data includes traits that can be used to identify you, such as your voice, fingerprint, or iris. They are inherently yours and non-transferable. Sharing biometric data could expose individuals to risks of tracking and surveillance, potentially enabling identification without consent through various technologies. Often without realizing it, people have given permission for their data to be sold.

After carefully studying the legality of this practice, Spain has banned these operations and is removing the stands and iris scanners used by Worldcoin. In countries like France or Brazil, Worldcoin has also faced bans on conducting their activities, while claiming they’re leaving voluntarily rather than because it’s illegal.

Adapted from https://theswitch.es/en/selling-your-iris-worldcoin/

Helping Others HelpsOurselves
By Victoria - Pineville, Missour

I believe helping others is a way to help ourselves. Helping a friend, family, a neighbor, or even a stranger does not necessarily mean fixing their car, or buying them lunch. Helping someone could be as simple as waving or smiling when walking past them. Helping a person could be a small thing such as listening to their problems, offering support and advice, and walking them through an otherwise hard time. Honestly, a person can help another without realizing helping is what they are doing.

Even though I am only eighteen years of age, I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. In helping others I have become a better person. Offering assistance to others is the best way to leave a good impression on someone. Maybe it is the alleged “bum” on the side of the road; no one can truly know if he is sincerely poor or not except him/her. Still, stopping to give him/her a happy meal or a cup of coffee can show him/her that there are good people left in the world. You may not remember his/her face, but I can guarantee that he/she will remember your kindness forever.

Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand. In my book everyone deserves a second chance, however if they blow that chance, then they are one their own. I also believe that everyone deserves the chance not to be judged. There are several people that are cold hearted, but seeing the good or best in them could help them to change into a better person. This is why I believe in helping other people.

I am soon going into the medical field to become a doctor. I chose this field in order to make the most out of helping people. I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish. Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn. I can in turn use my knowledge to discover a cure for cancer or lupus, thus helping many families realize there is still hope. Mostly, however, I would be helping myself in knowing that I have helped so many people for one small act of kindness. I hope that my belief will have a lasting effect on those who read it, and that you too will see the joy in helping others and do the same.

Based on the analysis of word classes (parts of speech) in the text I, mark the correct alternative.
- a) In “Offering assistance to others is the best way to leave a good impression on someone”, the word “assistance” functions as adjective that modifies a noun in the sentence.
- b) In the sentence “I believe helping others is a way to help ourselves”, the word “I” is a subject personal pronoun in the first person singular, and “ourselves” is a reflexive pronoun in the first person plural.
- c) In “and that you too will see the joy in helping others and do the same”, the word “do” functions as an auxiliary verb in the present simple tense, supporting the main verb “help”.
- d) In “You may not remember his/her face”, the words “his/her” are object personal pronouns used to refer back to the subject of the sentence.
- e) In “Maybe it is the alleged 'bum' on the side of the road”, the word “on” introduces a spatial relation and acts as an adverb of place.

Read the text below and answer question.

Is peanut butter a good source of protein? Nutrition experts explain.

[1] Protein is the macronutrient du jour. Discussions about nutrition online as of late are all about making sure you're consuming enough protein every day.

[2] The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is currently 0.36 grams of protein per pound, according to Harvard Health, or about 54 grams daily for a person who weighs 150 pounds.

[3] But diet experts are increasingly pushing for consuming higher amounts of protein: upwards of 60 to 90 grams daily. Registered dietitian Jamie Nadeau previously told USA TODAY that she recommends getting "at least 20 grams of protein per meal for satiety," though she notes everyone has different needs.

[4] To what extent can peanut butter help you reach those goals? Nutrition experts explain.

[5] A two-tablespoon serving of peanut butter contains about 7 grams of protein, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) food database.

[6] That doesn't mean you shouldn't eat peanut butter - experts say it just means peanut butter is meant to be a small part of more well-rounded meals. Thomason suggests pairing a serving of peanut butter with a carb, protein and a fruit or vegetable. Some favorite combos include peanut butter and an apple, peanut butter and banana toast and a smoothie or oatmeal with peanut butter.

[7] "Those things are going to help you balance it out and not feel like it's easy to overeat,"she says.

[8] To hit that recommended 20-gram goal, you'd have to eat about 6 tablespoons - nearly three servings of peanut butter - which amounts to nearly 600 calories. While experts say eating more than the serving size isn't harmful, per se, there are much easier (and less calorie-dense) food options to get more protein.

(Adapted from https://www.usatoday.com)

The pronoun "it" in the sentence "Those things are going to help you balance it out and not feel like it's easy to overeat, [...]" (paragraph 7) refers to:
- a) apple.
- b) banana toast.
- c) smoothie.
- d) oatmeal.
- e) peanut butter.

Text CG1A7

The United Kingdom (UK) government is developing a “murder prediction” programme which it hopes can use personal data of those known to the authorities to identify the people most likely to become killers. Researchers are alleged to be using algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people, including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest risk of committing serious violent offences.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) says the scheme will “review offender characteristics that increase the risk of committing homicide” and “explore alternative and innovative data science techniques to risk assessment of homicide”. The project would “provide evidence towards improving risk assessment of serious crime and ultimately contribute to protecting the public via better analysis”, a spokesperson added.

The MoJ hopes the project will help boost public safety, but campaigners have called it “chilling and dystopian”.

Sofia Lyall, a researcher for Statewatch, the pressure group that discovered the existence of the project, said: “Time and again, research shows that algorithmic systems for ‘predicting’ crime are inherently flawed. This latest model […] will reinforce and magnify the structural discrimination underpinning the criminal legal system.”

“Like other systems of its kind, it will code in bias towards racialised and low-income communities. Building an automated tool to profile people as violent criminals is deeply wrong, and using such sensitive data on mental health, addiction and disability is highly intrusive and alarming,” added Lyall.

Internet:<https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news> (adapted).

In the fragment “The MoJ hopes the project will help boost public safety, but campaigners have called it ‘chilling and dystopian’.” (third paragraph of text CG1A7), it can be correctly concluded that the pronoun “it” refers to
- a) “The MoJ”.
- b) “the project”.
- c) “boost”.
- d) “public safety”.
- e) “campaigners”.

France to trial ban on mobile phones at school for children under 15

Kim Willsher - Paris
Tue 27 Aug 2024

France is to trial a ban on mobile phones at school pupils who are younger than 15, seeking to give children a "digital pause" that, if judged successful, could be rolled out nationwide from January.

Just under 200 secondary schools will take place in the experiment that will require youngsters to hand over phones on arrival at reception. It takes the prohibition on the devices further than a 2018 law that banned pupils at primary and secondary schools from using their phones on the premises but allowed them to keep possession of them.

Announcing the trial on Tuesday, the acting education minister, Nicole Belloubet, said the aim was to give youngsters a "digital pause". If the trial proves successful, the ban would be introduced in all schools from January, Belloubet said.

A commission set up by the president, Emmanuel Macron, expressed concern that the overexposure of children to screens was having a detrimental effect on their health and development.

A 140-page report published in March concluded there was "a very clear consensus on the direct and indirect negative effects of digital devices on sleep, on being sedentary - a lack of physical activity and the risk of being overweight and even obese - as well as on sight". It said the "hyper" use of phones and other digital technology was not only bad for children but also for "society and civilisation".

The report recommended children's use of mobile phones be controlled in stages: no mobile phones before the age of at least 11, mobiles without internet access between 11 and 13, phones with internet but no access to social media before 15.

It also suggested children under three years old should not be exposed at all to digital devices, which it said were "not necessary for the healthy development of the child".

"We must put the digital tool in its place. Up to at least six years old a child has no need for a digital device to develop," Servane Mouton, a neurologist and neurophysiologist who was on the commission, said. "We have to teach parents once again how to play with their children."

Banning phones in schools has long been debated across Europe. In countries where bans exist this is most often confined to their use and do not require children to hand them over.

In Germany there are no formal restrictions but most schools have prohibited the use of mobile phones and digital devices in classrooms except for education purposes. A quasi ban has been in place in Dutch secondary school classrooms since the beginning of this year, but as a recommendation and not a legal obligation. From this school year the directive will also apply to primary schools.

Italy was early to phone bans, introducing one in 2007, easing it in 2017 and reimposing it in 2022. It applies to all age groups.

In February this year, the British government issued guidance for schools "on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day" but said it was for individual head teachers and leaders to decide on phone use policy.

Portugal is experimenting with a compromise by introducing a number of phone-free days at schools each month, while in Spain schools in some autonomous regions have imposed a ban but there is no nationwide prohibition.

Adapted from: <https://www.thequardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/27/franceto-trial-ban-on-mobile-phones-at-school-for-children-under-15>

The pronouns in the sentence "(...) but allowed them to keep possession of them" (2^nd paragraph) refer to, respectively:
