The importance of radiology in modern medicine is acknowledged for its non-invasive diagnostic capabilities, yet the manual formulation of unstructured medical reports poses time constraints and error risks. This study addresses the common limitation of Artificial Intelligence applications in medical image captioning, which typically focus on classification problems, lacking detailed information about the patient's condition. Despite advancements in AI-generated medical reports that incorporate descriptive details from X-ray images, which are essential for comprehensive reports, the challenge persists. The proposed solution involves a multimodal model utilizing Computer Vision for image representation and Natural Language Processing for textual report generation. A notable contribution is the innovative use of the Swin Transformer as the image encoder, enabling hierarchical mapping and enhanced model perception without a surge in parameters or computational costs. The model incorporates GPT-2 as the textual decoder, integrating cross-attention layers and bilingual training with datasets in Portuguese PT-BR and English. Promising results are noted in the proposed database with ROUGE-L 0.748, METEOR 0.741, and NIH CHEST X-ray with ROUGE-L 0.404 and METEOR 0.393.

Software development, in many moments, is an exciting and challenging activity, but it can present itself as a boring endeavour in others. At the same time, the introduction of game elements into efforts such as the teaching of Software Engineering shows that real‐world activities can assemble game design elements and that it can make them more engaging. In this work, it is proposed the introduction of game design elements in software development, especially in the Scrum process. For this, elements are included to stimulate adherence to the prescriptions of the process, besides stimulating the execution of more activities by the team, positively impacting the productivity of a project. The authors present the idealised mechanics and the results obtained from the accomplishment of a case study in a software development team in a private company. Overall, the gamification applied to software development stimulated developers to perform their daily tasks, although this result did not generate strong evidence of increased productivity.
