Los entornos de aprendizaje inmersivo y la enseñanza a ciber-generaciones (Immersive Learning Environments for Teaching the Cyber Generations)

Spanish Abstract: A pesar de que la tecnologia es una herramienta fundamental en los procesos de ensenanza y aprendizaje, tanto adelantos tecnologicos como sus aplicaciones demandan mayor difusion y socializacion, particularmente entre los docentes de los paises en desarrollo. El presente articulo sistematiza un estado del arte sobre entornos de aprendizaje virtual y presenta informacion sobre algunas de las tecnologias mas usadas. Se asume como hipotesis central que existe una brecha significativa en los usos de los avances tecnologicos en la educacion en los paises en desarrollo. Para ello, se recurre al trabajo heuristico y hermeneutico, explorando en las investigaciones en paises del primer mundo, las posibilidades de la virtualidad para la formacion primaria y secundaria en Colombia y Mexico. Un mapa conceptual se presenta como herramienta de compilacion y asociacion. Se identifica que simSchool tiene mayor potencial para usarse como una plataforma para la educacion especialmente a distancia y para distintos grupos y que los paises de la region deben hacer esfuerzos para enmarcar sus sistemas educativos en la dinamica inmersiva.English Abstract: Despite the fact that technology is a core tool for teaching and learning, technological advances and its applications even demand greater dissemination and socialization, especially within the teachers’ community in developing countries. This article systematizes a virtual learning state-of-the-art and describes the more important technological advances underlying virtual environments. Our assumption was that developing countries have a signifying gap in using technological advances for educational purposes. Using heuristic and hermeneutic strategies, we explore research in developed countries trying to identify real possibilities of virtual environment for K-12 education (primary and secondary school) for both countries: Colombia and Mexico. In addition, we designed a map to compile concepts and associate them. Results suggest that simSchool has a great potential for being used as an educational platform, particularly for remote courses and different groups. Latin American countries must make greater efforts in order to frame their education systems into the immersive dynamic.
SELFIMAGE OF PUBLIC CIVIL SERVANTS: THE FEATURES AND FACTORS

The article is devoted to the image of civil servants from the perspective of complex tasks facing public administration today. The features and factors of the image are considered from the perspective of a new approach for the sphere of public administration, according to which the image of civil servants reflects their identity (Self-concept) as a result of the process of self-determination, finding a profession and status-role position in society. The hypothesis states that the image of civil servants is related to the peculiarities of their social identity, personal and professional qualities, the level of professionalism, and the attractiveness of employees. Professional identity is the basis for both the fulfi llment of tasks, and for self-realization and personal development. The purpose of the study is to identify problems and factors of the image of civil servants associated with the peculiarities of their self-determination, social identity, status and role position. The study was conducted in the form of a survey (questionnaire). A sample is comprised of 200 officials of various positions with at least a year of experience in government agencies. New data on the problems of building the image of civil servants, related to the nature of their activities, and the current conditions for its implementation in our country, have been obtained. Differences in the perception of the image by employees with different types of identity, as well as subjective factors of image formation, are revealed. The results will be useful for organizing personnel work, developing psychological support programs, and training civil servants to maintain their positive image.

ffgrep: Scalable Approximate String Matching

Approximate substring searching is a common but computationally demanding task in bioinformatics and text analysis. We present a new approach that recasts string search as a multiple convolution problem, then exploits highly efficient fast Fourier convolution techniques. This approach, which we call ffgrep, computes and caches the spectra of a target corpora, drastically reducing the cost of subsequent searches. Like other approaches, this algorithm is embarrassingly parallelizable; unlike other approaches, it is capable of operating on not only raw strings, but also word embeddings. ffgrep is applied to an original corpus of imperfect automatic transcriptions of campaign speeches in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. We contrast our approach with agrep, an industry-standard meta-algorithm that selects the optimal member from a number of highly optimized approximate string matching algorithms. Searching for approximate recurrences of a manually curated set of candidate catchphrases, we show that ffgrep speeds computation by up to a factor of 60x in typical settings, with increasing gains as alignments grow longer or more complex. Moreover, these computational gains come at little cost in performance. Taking agrep search results as ground truth, over a wide range of agrep parameters, we show that ffgrep is capable of recovering highly similar results with accuracies exceeding 0.94 and F1 of 0.84–0.9. Finally, we demonstrate how efficient substring matching enables new substantive research by identifying candidate catchphrases without human supervision. By rapidly computing and organizing 90 billion pairwise string comparisons, our proposed method automatically learns that the phrases “kick children off of Head Start or eliminate health insurance for the poor” and “kick students are [sic] financial aid or get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood or eliminate health care for millions on Medicaid” — along with 32 other campaign appeals — all map onto a single recurring theme, President Barack Obama’s critique of a proposed Medicare reform.

The Mediating Role of Radical Innovation in the Relationship Between Knowledge Management and Competitive Advantage in Sudanese Manufacturing Firms

The energy calculation of the hydroacoustic communication channel is divided into a number of interrelated stages: the choice of the operating frequency of the communication line; selection of sonar antennas; determination of the acoustic power of the signal. Experimental studies of hydroacoustic systems require significant financial costs. Therefore, recently, in order to reduce these costs, simulation models of individual nodes or even of the entire hydroacoustic system as a whole are resorted to. This work is devoted to the simulation modeling of a hydroacoustic channel antenna. A schematic diagram of the SKOL-2000R hydroacoustic antenna model is given, and the operating parameters of this model are chosen so that the resonant frequency of the model coincides with the resonant frequency of the original 29.6 kHz.
