UFRGS mantém-se como a melhor universidade federal brasileira

Universidade registrou crescimento no IGC Contínuo pelo quinto ano consecutivo. Resultados dos Indicadores de Qualidade da Educação Superior de 2023 foram divulgados nesta sexta-feira, 11/04, pelo Inep.

O Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep) divulgou na tarde desta sexta-feira, 11, os resultados dos Indicadores de Qualidade da Educação Superior 2023, que abrangem dados do Conceito Enade, do Indicador de Diferença entre os Desempenhos Observado e Esperado (IDD), do Conceito Preliminar de Curso (CPC) e do Índice Geral de Cursos Avaliados da Instituição (IGC) de 2023. A UFRGS obteve novamente o conceito 5 (nota máxima) no Índice Geral de Cursos, e 4,523 no IGC Contínuo, mantendo-se como melhor universidade federal do País e segunda melhor entre todas as instituições avaliadas. A primeira colocada é a Unicamp (instituição estadual de SP), que obteve IGC Contínuo de 4,64.

This Mysterious Cosmic Substance May Be Older Than the Universe Itself—And It Just Might Be Immortal

It drives the movements of stars and galaxies, but dark matter is invisible. While it remains a colossal mystery, a study revealed how staggering its age could be. By 


A mysterious substance rules the present-day universe. New research suggests that it may have been born even before our cosmos as we know it, and that if it does eventually leave the cosmic scene, it won’t be for another trillion trillion years…if ever. 
Welcome to the kingdom of the dark.

Consciousness Isn’t Just in Your Head—It May Be Altering Reality Itself, Scientists Say By  

What if your mind is shaping the world around you in ways you can’t see ... or even imagine?

Ever since we published our very first issue 123 years ago—yes, we’re old—Popular Mechanics has endeavored to help you understand all kinds of technological marvels, from the tools in your shed, to the planes in the sky, to the tanks on the battlefield. But lately, we’ve really tried to dive deep into the world’s most complex machine: you.
Or, more specifically, the thing that makes you youconsciousness.

The Return of the Dire Wolf  Photographs by Robert Clark Story by Jeffrey Kluger

Romulus and Remus are doing what puppies do: chasing, tussling, nipping, nuzzling. But there’s something very un-puppylike about the snowy white 6-month olds—their size, for starters. At their young age they already measure nearly 4 ft. long, tip the scales at 80 lb., and could grow to 6 ft. and 150 lb. Then there’s their behavior: the angelic exuberance puppies exhibit in the presence of humans—trotting up for hugs, belly rubs, kisses—is completely absent. They keep their distance, retreating if a person approaches. Even one of the handlers who raised them from birth can get only so close before Romulus and Remus flinch and retreat. This isn’t domestic canine behavior, this is wild lupine behavior: the pups are wolves. Not only that, they’re dire wolves—which means they have cause to be lonely./.../

World’s Most Detailed Map Built From a Grain of Brain Tissue

This image shows a subset of more than 1,000 of the 120,000 brain cells (neuron + glia) reconstructed in the MICRONS project. Each reconstructed neuron is a different random color. In this image, the glowing neurons are colored. Credit: Forrest Collman/Allen Institute

Summary: Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex. Using cutting-edge microscopy, AI, and 3D reconstruction, researchers captured more than 200,000 cells and over 500 million connections.

The work revealed surprising principles of brain organization, including new inhibitory cell behaviors and network-wide coordination. This achievement provides a foundational tool for understanding brain function, intelligence, and neurological disorders.

How Two Souls Can Interact with One Another: Simone de Beauvoir on Love and Friendship

It is in relationships that we discover both our depths and our limits, there that we anneal ourselves and transcend ourselves, there that we are hurt the most and there that we find the most healing.

But despite what a crucible of our emotional and spiritual lives relationships are — or perhaps precisely because of it — they can be riddling and nebulous, destabilizing in their fluidity and ambiguity, leaving us grasping for the comforting solidity of categories and labels. The ancient Greeks, in their pioneering effort to order the chaos of the cosmos, neatly taxonomized them into filial love (the kind we feel for siblings, children, parents, and friends), eros (the love of lovers), and agape (the deepest, purest, most impersonal and spiritual love). After the Enlightenment discounted all love as a malfunction of reason, the Romantics reclaimed it and revised the ancient taxonomy into a hierarchy, under the tyranny of which we still live, placing eros at the pinnacle of human existence. And yet our deepest relationships — the ones in which we both become most fully ourselves and are most emboldened to change — tend to elude the commonplace classifications and to shape-shift across the span of life./.../
