JOSÉ SPERB SANSEVERINO 

Amigo, contemporâneo da época de início da Universidade.
Morreu na madrugada de terça-feira José Sperb Sanseverino. Ex-vereador da Capital, ex- deputado estadual, ex-secretário de Estado, procurador do Estado e, mais recentemente, ex-provedor da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre, Sanseverino tinha 97 anos. Ele foi velado tarde de ontem, na Igreja São Joaquim, do Cemitério da Santa Casa.
Natural de Encruzilhada do Sul, no Vale do Rio Pardo, nascido em 29 de março de 1925, Sanseverino formou-se em Direito pela antiga Faculdade Livre de Direito de Porto Alegre - atual Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Ainda na área acadêmica, por mais de 30 anos, ele foi professor das faculdades de Direito da UFRGS e da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS).
Na política, Sanseverino foi fundador do Partido Democrata Cristão no Rio Grande do Sul e presidente estadual da sigla, pela qual se elegeu para o cargo de vereador de Porto Alegre, em 1959. Três anos depois, foi eleito para o cargo de deputado estadual, sendo presidente da Assembleia Legislativa (AL) no ano de 1965.
Em sua trajetória no poder Executivo, participou do governo Synval Guazzelli como secretário de Justiça. No Judiciário, Sanseverino foi juiz federal, entre 1967 e 1975, e procurador do Estado atuando junto ao Tribunal de Contas.
Em 1996, assumiu como provedor da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre. Sucessor do cardeal dom Vicente Scherer, Sanseverino foi voluntário na direção da instituição de saúde até 2015, quando passou o cargo ao atual ocupante, Alfredo Guilherme Englert.
"Para a instituição, o ex-provedor deixa um exemplo de ética e responsabilidade a ser seguido, um homem de profunda fé religiosa cuja dedicação às causas sociais reitera o grande homem do qual nos despedimos, reiterando nossos sentimentos à família e aos amigos", manifestou a Santa Casa em nota de pesar.
Sanseverino recebeu algumas das maiores honrarias do Estado, entre elas a Medalha Mérito Farroupilha (2012), o título de Deputado Emérito da AL e o título de Cidadão de Porto Alegre (2002). Era casado com Maria Thereza de Jesus Vieira Sanseverino havia 67 anos, com quem teve seis filhos: José Inácio, Maria Teresa, Paulo de Tarso, Francisco de Assis, Alberto Magno e Antônio Marcos.

This May Spark a Memory
Sending electrical currents through the brain from the scalp can improve elderly people’s recall of words in a memory task for up to a month, according to a new study covered by Diana Kwon for Nature. Neuroscientists have been studying brain stimulation as a potential boost for memory for several years. In 2018, Jordana Cepelewicz wrote for Quanta about work that showed strategic shocks to the brain’s cortex could enhance word recall.


You're Back!
Dogs really do miss their owners when they leave, according to new research. A study found that when dogs were reunited with their owner instead of a familiar non-owner, their eyes welled with happy tears, reports Ed Cara for Gizmodo. During the domestication of dogs from wolves more than 30,000 years ago, emotionally expressive traits may have evolved in dogs to help them bond with humans. Today, some scientists see hints of domesticity appearing in some wild dingoes that have a lot of human contact, as Carrie Arnold reported for Quanta in 2018.

Christoph Renninger (Coliquio) August 08, 2022

Between March and July 2021, cases of the bacterial infectious disease sprung up in Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota, and Texas, with the disease being fatal for two of those affected. Usually, cases of melioidosis occur in the United States after traveling to regions where the pathogen is prevalent. However, none of the patients had undertaken any previous international travel.
When the genomes of the bacterial strains (Burkholderia pseudomallei) were sequenced, they showed a high level of concordance, suggesting a common source of infection. The bacterial strain is similar to those that are found in Southeast Asia above all. An imported product from there was taken into consideration as the trigger./.../

Aroma Spray as a Trigger

In October, the cause of the melioidosis was finally identified in the house of the patient from Georgia: an aromatherapy spray. The genetic fingerprint of the bacterial strain matched with that from the other patients. The common trigger was thus discovered./.../

Americans drink an estimated 517 million cups of coffee every day, according to the National Coffee Association, making it the most popular beverage in the U.S. other than water.
Drinking coffee has been associated with a wide range of health benefits. But will it help you live longer?

Beyond the Blues: Poet Mary Ruefle’s Stunning Color Spectrum of Sadnesses

“Pink sadness… is the sadness of shame when you have done nothing wrong, pink sadness is not your fault, and though even the littlest twinge may cause it, it is the vast bushy top on the family tree of sadness, whose faraway roots resemble a colossal squid with eyes the size of soccer balls.”
Goethe’s color wheel, from his 1809 theory of color and emotion.

Good Things Come in Threes
Physicists observed 270 rare “WWW” events in which the W boson particle appears in trios. This was slightly above the prediction by the Standard Model of particle physics, but not enough to overturn the theory, reports Emily Conover for Science News. If the Standard Model does eventually fail, there are clues that the W boson will be what breaks it. In April, physicists found that the particle is 0.1% heavier than the influential theory predicts, as Charlie Wood covered for Quanta.

Resurrecting Tasmanian Tigers
Scientists announced plans to bring the Tasmanian tiger back from extinction by gene-editing stem cells from a closely related species of marsupial alive today, the fat-tailed dunnart. The researchers hope to see the first baby thylacines born within 10 years, reports Adam Morton for The Guardian. De-extinction efforts can’t perfectly resurrect lost species, in part because it’s often impossible to get the animals’ full genetic code. The resulting creature is kind of a proxy — and that may be good enough for the envisioned purposes, as Yasemin Saplakoglu wrote for Quanta in May.
