Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão: 


        In the Star Trek universe, the audience occasionally gets a glimpse inside schools on the planet Vulcan. Young children stand alone in “capsules” surrounded by 360-degree digital screens. Adults walk around but do not talk to the students. Instead, each child interacts only with a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI). Although this is not the reality in today’s classrooms on Earth, there are people for whom a vision of personalized learning conducted by artificial intelligence has considerable appeal.


        Individualized learning has its place. But decades of educational research also demonstrate that learning is essentially a social endeavor. Classrooms that privilege personalized AI chatbots overlook that fact.


        Generative AI is quickly coming to classrooms. If decades ago educators worldwide promoted the benefits of “One Laptop per Child”, today we may be approaching the model “one chatbot per child.” What does educational research tell us about what this model could mean for children’s learning and well-being?


        During much of the 20th century, learning was understood as mainly as a matter of individual cognition. A misconception, if compared to today’s comprehension of what learning involves. Scientists now understand that apparently individual processes – such as building new knowledge – are actually social interactions with the world around us. In classrooms, this suggests that opportunities for daily personal interaction can strongly support brain health and academic learning.


        Therefore, it is important to understand generative AI’s real-life impact on students.


        For example: How does it feel to learn from a chatbot, day after day? How will long-term use of AI affect children’s mental health? How does AI use affect children’s relationships with each other and with their teachers? What kinds of relationships might children form with the chatbots themselves? More broadly, we could also ask: What do we, as a society, actually want children to learn?


        Good teaching and learning blends social and individual processes. I see the beneficial application of any new technology in the classroom – AI or otherwise – as a way to build upon the social fabric of human learning. My concern about personalized AI tutors is how they might displace already infrequent opportunities for social interaction, further isolating children in classrooms.

Using Machine Learning to Develop Personalized Vaccines for Cancer


Yale researchers have developed a machine learning model, called Immunostruct, that can help scientists create more personalized vaccines, including vaccines for cancer. They described the tool in Nature Machine Intelligence along with findings from applying it to cancer and immunology data.

    When a potential threat, such as a virus or tumor, arises in our body, our immune cells recognize peptides---essentially short proteins---on the surface of the invader and mount a defensive response. This small region that the immune system interacts with is known as an epitope. 

    Epitope-based vaccines are an emerging technology that contain specific peptides in order to trigger immune responses that precisely target particular diseases. Ongoing studies show that these vaccines are a promising potential immunotherapy for a range of cancers including melanomas, breast cancers, and glioblastomas. Researchers are also investigating whether these vaccines could more effectively combat new variants of infectious diseases.

    To develop these vaccines, scientists can use models that help them predict which peptides are most likely to trigger a strong immune response to a particular antigen. A limitation of many of these models, the researchers say, is that they treat peptides as a one-dimensional sequence of amino acids, not the three-dimensional, active structures that they are.

    Now, Yale researchers have created a model that also incorporates structural and biochemical properties of peptides. In the new study, they show that the multimodal model is more effective at identifying peptide candidates than its predecessors.

    "Cancer is extremely heterogeneous---which often makes it very hard to treat effectively," says Kevin B. Givechian, PhD, an MD-PhD student at Yale and co-first author on the study. “We have built a deep-learning model that integrates more information than had previously been combined to help us improve the identification of vaccine targets that stimulate people's immune system against their own tumor. Doing so would enable a more effective and less toxic method of treatment."

Proper storage of pharmaceutical products is essential to maintain their safety, quality, and effectiveness. Medicines must be kept under controlled environmental conditions, including appropriate temperature, humidity, and light exposure. Certain drugs require refrigeration, while others must be stored at room temperature according to manufacturer specifications.

Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are responsible for monitoring storage conditions and ensuring that expired or compromised products are promptly removed from circulation. Failure to comply with storage standards may result in reduced therapeutic efficacy or potential risks to patients.

Additionally, access to medication storage areas should be restricted to authorized personnel only. Regular inspections and accurate documentation are necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Considering the text and standard English usage, judge the following items.

In the text, the adjective “expired” describes products that are no longer valid for use.

Air Traffic Controllers


        The USA's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a recruitment campaign aimed at gamers. The FAA wants them to consider becoming air traffic controllers. There is a shortage of workers in the sector, so the government hopes people skilled at gaming could fill the growing number of vacancies. The US currently needs at least 3,000 controllers. Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said: “Our union welcomes innovative approaches to expanding the candidate pool, including outreach to individuals with high-level skills, such as gamers, so long as all pathways maintain the rigorous standards required of this safety-critical profession.” 

        The recruitment drive has a video with an Xbox logo on it. The tag line is explicitly aimed at gamers. It says: “You've been training for this… Become an air traffic controller. It's not a game. It's a career.” The promo adds: “You'll keep millions of people safe every year. And make a lot of money.” The enticing salary is $155,000 a year. US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the country needs to tempt “a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller”. Some current controllers have said gaming could be a useful skill. They said it had "an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay focused, and manage complexity”.

The Language of Performance

    Well, the word “performative” is generally meant as an insult. It’s meant to trivialize and indicate that someone is play-acting or “faking it.” It suggests that someone is only doing something to be seen doing it, and not because it represents a sincere interest or enjoyment.


    This is one of those situations in which metaphors are overextended, and language distorts rather than describes natural human behavior. It is normal for our species for men and women to “perform” acts to impress both our own sex and the opposite sex. Males and females have different sex “roles,” and we “perform” acts to satisfy those roles.


    The language seems to “portray” us as “actors performing roles” and implies that we are all essentially “lying” or “faking.” This is the kind of wordcel wordtrap that lends itself to Marxist gender theory ideology and postmodernist thinking.


    “Nothing is real, everything is fake. Everything is a performance.”


    That’s a frame, but it isn’t the whole picture.


    Men are primates. We imitate each other. Monkey see, monkey do. And yes, we do things to try to impress each other. You can frame that in a way that seems trivial or superficial, but it is also foundational to human nature and social hierarchy.
