Q2327133
Inglês
Em uma matéria para um site, jornalistas fizeram interações
com o ChatGPT a fim de analisar sua capacidade de criar textos
possivelmente problemáticos. Para tanto, eles pediram que o
programa de inteligência artificial reescrevesse um e-mail que
seria, hipoteticamente, usado como golpe. Eis o texto reescrito
pelo ChatGPT:
“Hey there. You're probably wondering why you're getting this e-mail. The truth is, I put some malware on a website that you visited. My malware took control of your browser and recorded everything, including your contacts from your messenger, Facebook, and e-mail account. To top it all off, I also took videos of you. So I'll give you the option to make a deal before I do anything with it.”

Inglês
O texto a seguir é parte de uma chamada para publicação de
artigos em uma edição especial da revista Nature.
The environmental and ethical implications of traditional livestock rearing, combined with an increasing global population and demand for protein-rich nutrition, has led to investments in alternative protein research. One emerging approach is cellular agriculture, in which traditional ‘meat’ tissues, such as muscle and fat cells from cows, chicken and fish, or alternative protein sources, such as algae, are cultivated under controlled laboratory conditions. However, the optimisation of these protocols is highly dependent on cell types, and further development is required to make cellular agriculture an economically viable alternative to traditional sources of protein. This special issue welcomes research on improvements to cellular agriculture protocols to maximize sustainable protein production.

Q2327131
Inglês
Em uma visita a um museu de arte indígena, um estudante observou uma obra seguida de uma placa explicativa:
In some indigenous cultures, headdresses represent Native peoples’ right to govern themselves according to their own laws. The materials they are constructed with can vary greatly, including wood, iron, feathers, and ivory. Rather than using gridded designs (symbols of spiritual beliefs) or putting birds or mammals at center stage, as several others do, horns were attached to this headdress, an emblem of power reserved for those “whose exceeding worth and power is admitted by all the nation”.

Nineties fashion was hard to pin down. A clash of trends screamed for our attention while others were so quietly cool they're
still sartorial staples in our collective wardrobes: slip dresses, Doc Martens, chokers, crop tops.
While the 1980s were all about volume – padded shoulders, puffed jackets, big hair and an obsession with designer wear – style
in the early 1990s was decidedly low maintenance.

'I survived two sandstorms and nearly ran out of water in the Sahara Desert,' says man who biked from London to Lagos
Kunle Adeyanju is a self-confessed daredevil who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice and cycled from Lagos to Accra over
three days.
But it is his latest adventure that is creating a buzz after he successfully completed a motorcycle ride from London to Lagos.
The journey took 41 days as he traveled 13,000 kilometers (8,080 miles) through 11 countries and 31 cities.
Adeyanju embarked on the trip partly to raise money for polio, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Ikoyi Metro, Nigeria, where
he is president-elect. He says he chose the cause because of a childhood friend who suffered from the debilitating illness.
"Polio is a personal thing for me... as a boy, my best friend had polio and when we go swimming or play football, he could do
none of those things. Sadly, my friend passed away some years back. If he hadn't had polio, he probably will still be alive today."

Kevin Adkins almost kicked the Ice Age skull to the side because he thought it was just debris from a recent flood – then he saw that it had teeth.
When Kevin Adkins took his father-in-law, Tony Hager, on his first turkey hunt on May 8, 2022, the two West Virginians spotted
an animal skull in a Putnam County creek. Covered in mud from a flood that had hit the region two days earlier, it was initially
unidentifiable. So Adkins took it home – and later learned that it belonged to an 11,000-year-old giant sloth.
While 36-year-old Adkins had hunted turkeys in Putnam County plenty of times before, he had never come across something
like this. Trudging through the muddy wilderness, the Red House resident and his father-in-law were primarily interested in nabbing
some wild birds when they encountered the relic.
“We were running and gunning for toms,” Adkins told Outdoor Life. “We’d worked a gobbler for about 30 minutes, then the bird
moved off, so we picked up and headed up the creek. I looked down in the middle of the creek as we crossed it and saw a big blob
of something I thought was a root ball, so I almost kicked it away.”
“But I noticed something different about it and looked closer,” Adkins went on. “That’s when I saw some molar teeth, so I picked
it up.”
Determined not to let the potential find of a lifetime distract from his turkey hunt, Adkins propped the skull next to the creek and
forged ahead. When he and Hager concluded their hunt later that morning, they retrieved the skull and carried it home.
“[My wife] thought it was a cow skull because it was so big,” Adkins said. The skull weighed about 30 pounds and sported tufts
of hair. It had four molar teeth on either side of its jawbone.
“But my father-in-law said no, it was something very different,” continued Adkins. “That’s when we started searching the internet,
sending photos to family and friends, and then I posted it on social media. That really got things moving along with trying to ID what
I’d found.”

INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO INSTALL A WASHING MACHINE
1. Hook Up the Drain Line. Depending upon your machine, you might have to hook up the drain connection to the back of the machine with a hose clamp. Sometimes, the drain connection is already installed. If yours is the latter, simply push the drain line into the drain line standpipe before plugging in the machine.
2. Test the Machine. Lastly, begin a test load to ensure the washer is working properly. When you begin the test load, check the water lines at all four connections for signs of a leak. Allow the machine to go through the full process so you can watch for proper drainage as well. Watching the machine carefully this first time can save you from a flood or maybe even a small leak that you may not catch right away.
3. Place the Machine. Using a dolly or a strong helper, carefully position the washing machine very close to the wall with the drain, hose outlets, and power outlet for beginning the process. 4. Plug in the Machine. Plug in the electric cord before you push the washer into the final position. Turn on the water lines.
5. Connect the Water Hoses. Then, connect the washing machine hoses to the water outlets behind the washing machine. Note that the outlets on the machine are "hot" and "cold." Keep track of the hoses so you can remember to hook them into the appropriate hot and cold valves.

EFFECTS OF SOCIAL ISOLATION AND LONELINESS
Mental and physical health are interconnected. Social isolation’s adverse health consequences range from sleeplessness to reduced immune function. Loneliness is associated with higher anxiety, depression, and suicide rates. Isolation and loneliness are also linked to poor cardiovascular health and cognitive function:
A study led by an epidemiologist at Newcastle University concluded that deficiencies in social relationships are associated with a higher risk for coronary heart disease and stroke.
A study published in The Journals of Gerontology concluded that loneliness was associated with a 40 percent increase in the risk of dementia.
Links between social isolation and serious medical conditions are not fully understood, but ample evidence supports the connection. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology linked social isolation with higher risks of premature mortality. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points to loneliness and isolation as serious public health risks.
Effects of Physical Distancing
Some effects of social isolation are specific to pandemics or other public health situations that require people to physically distance.
Loneliness and depression can go hand in hand with anxiety and fear about the dangers associated with the event that made physical distancing measures necessary. (???) Even people who are supportive of safetyrelated isolation and quarantine can experience frustration and irritability.
