women agencies knowledge of normativity and sexualities uses of justice in the ro de la plata 17th18th centuries

the project will investigate the uses of justice by women in the colonial contexts of the ro de la plata between spanish and portuguese americas through lawsuits of moral crimes the ultimate aim is to untangle the trials by detecting features both in and beyond the descriptions registered in the lawsuits seeking to discover which were the uses of justice by women what were their agencies to the different types of crimes which knowledge they had shared and manipulated which behaviors reveal ways of resistance and which were the strategies they developed to achieve their interests through justice institutions the focus is on womens agencies and the knowledge of normativity they carried and shared addressing the norms that circulated across and were produced by interpersonal conflicts prosecuted by the secular and ecclesiastic courts it will be possible to access the processes of retroinfluences between different sorts of knowledge and how they were used by women in a colonial frontier space the research will produce new empirical knowledge regarding women and justice by developing an interdisciplinary approach between history law and criminology it will further develop the cutcrossing bias from womens history feminist jurisprudence and feminist criminology the concept of knowledge of normativity will be used in accordance with thomas duves perspective the analysis of the lawsuits will be guided by the method of the indiciary paradigm ginzburg and the nuances of double fragmentation farge the sources that will be analyzed are from both the secular and ecclesiastical courts from the platina region in the 17th and 18th centuries from the village of paranagu brazil and the city of asuncin paraguay until the villages of colony of sacramento and montevideo uruguay encompassing santa fe chaco misiones corrientes entre ros and part of the buenos aires region agentina
twin of online social networks

experts scholars and leading political decisionmakers warn that online social networks osns have transformed public debate in harmful ways personalization algorithms it has been argued create socalled filter bubbles and echo chambers where users opinions are reinforced amplifying processes of opinion polarisation despite frequent calls for interventions to minimize such undesired effects there is no agreedupon method for estimating the effects of changing the parameters of the design of a social network service crucially the complexity of such systems makes it hard to translate results of isolated experiments into an estimate of the overall effects the twon project will develop a novel empirical method for systematically researching the effects of design choices of mechanisms inside osns by creating digital twins of social network sites called twons the twon can then be used to study counterfactuals such as how would the effects look like had the osn been designed differentlyin order to achieve that the twon project will combine empirical observations of existing osns theoryinformed simulations and specific case studies these form an iterative process in which we will build and refine the twon if successful this would be a major leap towards a better understanding of platform mechanics both for the scientific community and for societal stakeholders the twon project will produce evidencebased recommendations for regulatory innovations regarding osns and enhance digital citizenship by participatory methods this can reduce the detrimental effects on democratic debates when platforms are primarily optimized for economic gain twon enables osn research in a controlled but naturalistic environment that would not be possible relying on forprofit osn operators the effectiveness of the twon method will be demonstrated in two case studies on two diametrically controversial ongoing debates the conflict in ukraine and covid19
just carbon transitions

as carbon taxes are set to extend in depth and scope it will be critical to follow them from policymaking to implementation just carbon transitions justcarbon spotlights the role of legal expertise in translating carbon taxation ideals into action tax systems and national legal jurisdictions present significant challenges for policy makers intent on tackling both environmental concerns and redistributive goals through taxation there is an urgent need to investigate the role of legal tax professional structure authority and expertise to draw out how competition and cooperation among experts shapes the effectiveness of taxes in bringing about just transitions these experts are crucial to study because the justness of carbon tax policies extend beyond the letter of the law to the enforcement and control systems that make them effective systems designed and populated by tax professionals the study draws on an interdisciplinary research agenda shared between scholars of public administration and the sociology of professions and expertise through a comparative study of tax professionals and policy processes in three european countries denmark norway and france the study will give new insights into the implementation and operation of these systems and how they are part of changing national legal orders on tax overall the project will tell us where tax professionals are positioned in national policy advisory systems what legal expertise means in practice to these experts and which norms guide their work the project is designed to expand this interdisciplinary agenda by bridging sociological and political science communities during the project i will train with leading scholars in international comparative research on expertise and public administration from sociological and political science perspectives my goals are to develop a more complete research profile and my potential to be a future research leader in these fields
metalorganicframework kinetic array for diabetes detection

diabetes mellitus is a global health concern affecting 537 million people and resulting in over 67 million deaths yearly diagnosis currently relies on blood analysis which is expensive timeconsuming and invasive breath analysis based on the detection of volatile organic compounds vocs is a promising noninvasive alternative however selectively measuring specific vocs in breath is challenging due to their low concentrations and the presence of interfering compounds since current miniature sensors cannot efficiently distinguish between vocs there is a need for a novel technology capable of distinguishing a voc of interest from a complex background this project aims to address this challenge by combining a highly promising class of porous crystalline materials metalorganic frameworks mofs with sensor technology a novel sensing concept based on the kinetic selectivity in the pores of the mofs will be leveraged to mimic natures approach to olfaction and enable selective sensing a demonstrator will be established to enable diabetes mellitus diagnosis and prove the breakthrough potential of this disruptive sensing platform

conveying agent behavior to people a usercentered approach to explainable ai

from selfdriving cars to agents recommending medical treatment artificial intelligence ai agents are becoming increasingly prevalent these agents have the potential to benefit society in areas such as transportation healthcare and education importantly they do not operate in a vacuumpeople interact with agents in a wide range of settings to effectively interact with agents people need to be able to anticipate and understand their behavior for example a driver of an autonomous vehicle will need to anticipate situations in which the carfails and hands over control while a clinician will need to understand the treatment regime recommended by an agent to determine whether it aligns with the patients preferencesexplainable ai methods aim to support users by making the behavior of ai systems more transparent however the stateoftheart in explainable ai is lacking in several key aspects first the majority of existing methods focus on providing local explanations to oneshot decisions of machine learning models they are not adequate for conveying the behavior of agents that act over an extended time duration in large state spaces second most existing methods do not consider the context in which explanations are deployed including to the specific needs and characteristics of users finally most methods are not interactive limiting users ability to gain a thorough understanding of the agentsthe overarching objective of this proposal is to develop adaptive and interactive methods for conveying the behavior of agents and multiagent teams operating in sequential decisionmaking settings to tackle this challenge the proposed research will draw on insights and methodologies from ai and humancomputer interaction it will develop algorithms that determine what information about agents behavior to share with users tailored to users needs and characteristics and interfaces that allow users to proactively explore agents capabilities

using adoptees and personality to reexamine neighbourhood effects on important life outcomes

childhood outcomes across a range of domains are correlated with the socioeconomic characteristics of the childs neighbours yet work on the topic is dominated by observational designs that do not consider the confounding effect of genetics although experimental designs exist these are extremely expensive and usually rely on a restricted range of people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds consequently the overarching aim of the pan project is to estimate the plausible effect of neighbourhoods absent genetic confounding and restricted socioeconomic range by examining neighbourhood effects on adopteesdanish registry data provides a unique opportunity to pursue this aim due to its combination of adoptees placed pseudorandomly with nonrelatives across the full socioeconomic spectrum and the availability of annual personality assessments as well as classic outcomes data throughout the childhood years the use of registry personality data allows me to explore neighbourhood effects on pertinent child characteristics from a young age as there are domains for which the classical outcome data primarily apply at later ages even if dispositions towards particular outcomes are detectable earliereg behavioural disinhibition as a precursor to crime the integration of adoptees and childhood personality is therefore a distinctively powerful and practical approach to clarify where in the socioeconomic distribution and when in childrens development effects of neighbourhoods are most potent given the potential importance of neighbourhoods in intergenerational inequality answers to these questions may inform effective government policiesby completing the project under the supervision of associate professor steven ludeke at university of southern denmark i will gain valuable training as well as experience on registry data adoptees and big data which will make me more competitive in my pursuit of a career in academia or as a data scientist
