Advanced Modeling for Discrete Optimization
Optimization is a common form of decision making, and is ubiquitous in our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports. Good decisions in manpower and material resources management also allow corporations to improve profit by millions of dollars. Similar problems also underpin much of our daily lives and are part of determining daily delivery routes for packages, making school timetables, and delivering power to our homes. Despite their fundamental importance, all of these problems are a nightmare to solve using traditional undergraduate computer science methods. This course is intended for students who have completed Basic Modelling for Discrete Optimization. In this course you will learn much more about solving challenging discrete optimization problems by stating the problem in a state-of-the-art high level modeling language, and letting library constraint solving software do the rest. This course will focus on debugging and improving models, encapsulating parts of models in predicates, and tackling advanced scheduling and packing problems. As you master this advanced technology, you will be able to tackle problems that were inconceivable to solve previously.

Deploying Machine Learning Models
In this course we will learn about Recommender Systems (which we will study for the Capstone project), and also look at deployment issues for data products. By the end of this course, you should be able to implement a working recommender system (e.g. to predict ratings, or generate lists of related products), and you should understand the tools and techniques required to deploy such a working system on real-world, large-scale datasets. This course is the final course in the Python Data Products for Predictive Analytics Specialization, building on the previous three courses (Basic Data Processing and Visualization, Design Thinking and Predictive Analytics for Data Products, and Meaningful Predictive Modeling). At each step in the specialization, you will gain hands-on experience in data manipulation and building your skills, eventually culminating in a capstone project encompassing all the concepts taught in the specialization.

The Art of Filmmaking: Sequence and Editing
The sequencing of images gives films their cinematic form. Editing is essential to establish a film’s rhythm, pacing, and experience for the viewer. The editing may be subtle and hardly visible, or it can be forcefully present. In this course, you will be introduced to different approaches to editing that include montage theory, continuity editing, and minimalist cinema. You will produce short videos based on prompts designed to explore editing concepts and techniques. To complete the assignments, a video camera is recommended, but a smartphone can be used. Access to, and a working knowledge of editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro is required.

I. Missões jesuíticas nos territórios guaranis: história
Conhecer a história não é uma exigência para eruditos ou especialistas, mas é um recurso necessário para o exercício da cidadania e a valorização da dignidade humana em suas diversas dimensões. Através de dois cursos, propomos o conhecimento da história das Missões Jesuíticas na região guaranítica. Este processo ocorreu desde os inícios do século XVII a meados do século XVIII, envolvendo ampla área geográfica correspondente aos atuais estados de Paraguai, Argentina (Misiones), Brasil (Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina), Uruguai e Bolívia. Trata-se de eventos históricos que foram muito importantes para a história latino-americana e para o Brasil, mas que são pouco conhecidos e aprofundados em currículos escolares, manuais de história e de modo geral fogem ao conhecimento da maioria da população brasileira. Apresentaremos uma visão da história das Missões Jesuíticas nos territórios guaranis visando focar sua importância do ponto de vista da formação da identidade latino-americana e abordando os diferentes aspectos geográficos, sociais, religiosos, políticos e econômicos dessa experiência. Neste primeiro curso abordaremos a visão da história das Missões jesuíticas nos territórios guaranis, numa perspectiva histórica e antropológica. O curso visa oferecer um primeiro nível de conhecimento histórico deste tema, de modo a propiciar aos alunos: ➔ Subsídios acerca dos aspectos mais relevantes da formação das Missões Jesuíticas, considerando os atores envolvidos, as principais circunstâncias que levaram à criação das Missões nos referidos territórios e os diversos posicionamentos das populações guaranis que os ocupavam ➔ Análise da experiência social definida pelo termo Reduções em suas diversas dimensões: política, econômica, social, religiosa e antropológica. ➔ Subsídios para a utilização deste conhecimento em sua área de atuação profissional (ensino, gestão de patrimônio, turismo, relações internacionais, pedagogia, etc.). ➔ Instrumentos para possíveis ações de resgate, valorização, preservação do patrimônio histórico material (monumental e documental) e imaterial, ligado a tais acontecimentos históricos. ➔ Subsídios para possíveis ações voltadas à compreensão e valorização das redes de relações existentes entre povos latino-americanos ligados à história das Reduções

Fundamentals of Immunology: Inflammation, Tolerance, Autoimmunity
Course 3 of a four-course specialization called Fundamentals of Immunology. Each course in the specialization presents material that builds on the previous course's material. This is the third leg of the journey through the defenses your body uses to keep you healthy. We learned about innate immunity and B cell function in the first course. In the second course, we studied T cell function and coordination of the immune response. Fundamentals of Immunology: Inflammation, Tolerance, and Autoimmunity introduces students to the basic functions of the adaptive and innate immune systems. The early lectures survey cells, tissues, and organs using metaphors, cartoons, and models to improve understanding and retention. After describing the form, function, origin, and varieties of antibodies, subsequent lectures provide details on the mechanism of the generation of variation. The course provides animations of gene rearrangement and class switching and descriptions of affinity maturation correlated with detailed physical models of antibody structure. The final lecture reviews these concepts in an anatomical context. Testing employs multiple choice questions testing facts, concepts, and application of principles. Questions may refer to diagrams, drawings, and photographs used in the lecture and reproduced in the outline. What You’ll Learn: A survey of immune cells and how they attack pathogens, emphasizing the mechanism of inducing apoptosis and details of Antibody Directed Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity. The inflammatory response and mechanisms of generating tolerance are presented sequentially to emphasize the decision-making in controlling attacks. A survey of autoimmune disease, its characteristics, cause, and treatment. Survey of hypersensitivity reactions, including allergy, anaphylaxis, anemias, granulomas, and various skin responses. This is accompanied by identification, prevention, and treatment. The final discussion of preventing transplant rejection is preceded by a detailed unit on antibody technology and the testing methods for incompatibility.
