Aventuras e desventuras de professores durante a pandemia em Portugal
Authors: Alves Mariana Gaio , Torres Leonor Lima
Published: November 2024

RESUMO A pandemia exigiu adaptações imediatas no trabalho escolar cujas repercussões ainda não são bem conhecidas. No artigo, exploram-se os efeitos do confinamento nos modos de trabalho dos professores, considerando a utilização intensiva das tecnologias digitais e as oportunidades de aprendizagem profissional durante esse período. Recorre-se aos dados de um questionário respondido por professores do ensino básico e secundário entre julho e setembro de 2020. Identificam-se aprendizagens profissionais indissociáveis de mudanças nas dinâmicas pedagógicas e didáticas. Constata-se que a adaptação e adoção de novas práticas pelos professores variou em função do género, das habilitações, do nível de ensino, do tempo de serviço, entre outras variáveis.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Social Technologies (ST) are the result of advancing the process of solving everyday problems in society. This work seeks to capture and identify the effect of ST on the behavior of students at a municipal institution of the state of Sergipe. The research makes use of focus groups for data collection. The results showed that the TS under examination were important tools for social transformation, contributing positively to the participants' interpersonal behavior and socio-emotional skills. The conclusion obtained at the end of the investigation is that ST are relevant in the personal development process of students but there is a need to advance strategies that bring the institution closer to the community.

Authors: Furtado Renan Santos , Borges Carlos Nazareno Ferreira
Published: November 2024

RESUMO O presente estudo visa discutir a situação da Educação Física na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC – versão 2017). A partir dos pressupostos críticos e transformadores apresentados para o campo da Educação Física brasileira nas últimas quatro décadas, pela via da pesquisa documental, analisamos o impacto desta reforma educacional na legitimidade da Educação Física na qualidade de componente curricular obrigatório da educação básica. Desse modo, apontamos os avanços, contribuições e possibilidades críticas a partir da BNCC – Educação Física, que em nosso entendimento, evidenciam a tensão entre certas conquistas político-pedagógicas e epistemológicas da área da Educação Física, expressas nas perspectivas culturalistas, com os objetivos restritos e racionalizantes do modelo de competências e habilidades apresentado no documento.

Published: November 2024

RESUMO As condições de trabalho docente, que têm reflexos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, são o conjunto de recursos e circunstâncias necessários para que os professores realizem o seu trabalho. O objetivo da pesquisa apresentada neste artigo foi investigar as condições do trabalho docente em uma escola do campo localizada em um município do semiárido piauiense. A abordagem qualitativa foi conduzida através de entrevistas realizadas com sete professores que trabalham no turno noturno em um anexo da escola, a qual oferece o ensino médio e atende jovens de diversas comunidades da zona rural. Constatou-se que as condições de trabalho oferecidas aos professores são insatisfatórias quanto às funções que exercem, o vínculo empregatício, a carga de trabalho, as condições de transporte, a infraestrutura e as condições ambientais do espaço escolar. Os resultados constataram sobre as condições de trabalho, como elas impactam na prática dos professores e como refletem no processo de ensino-aprendizagem.

Authors: Lima Daniela da Costa Britto Pereira , Rodrigues Marina Campos Nori , Deus Karen Brina Borges de
Published: November 2024

RESUMO O presente texto analisa a recente política de normatização da Educação Híbrida no país, a fim de identificar o conceito estabelecido nos instrumentos legais e as possíveis implicações do híbrido na educação brasileira. Este estudo, de abordagem qualitativa, parte da análise documental dos instrumentos emitidos pelo Ministério da Educação e da base teórica da Educação Híbrida e da educação mediada por tecnologias. Como conclusão, evidencia-se que os documentos encaminham uma proposição do híbrido como “metodologização” da modalidade a distância incorporada à educação presencial, sem a regulamentação específica das políticas de acompanhamento e avaliação.

Authors: Santos Marina Marques dos , Pereira Regiane Silva , Mendes Beatriz de Castro Andrade , Novaes Beatriz Calvacanti de Albuquerque Caiuby
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the relationship between consistency in the use of hearing aids, auditory speech perception and vocabulary in children using hearing aids. Methods The population of Pereira’s (2023) study was resumed and the database was analyzed containing information about the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) for input sounds of 65 dBSPL (with or without hearing aids) of 29 children with neurosensorial hearing loss and hearing aid users bilaterally, with oral language, the number of hours per day of use of the device, four-tone average, results of the repetition of words with or without meaning in 65 dBSPL, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test – PPVT. The consistency of the use was analyzed through measuring the auditory dosage which takes into account the average of use hours and the audibility with or without the device. Results The PPVT has a positive correlation with the SII with the device at 65 dBSPL. The four-tone average has a significant negative correlation with the SII in both conditions; and the same happens with the hours on daily usage. The dosage has a significant positive correlation with the SII and negative with the PTA. Conclusion The receptive vocabulary tends to grow alongside with the audibility dosage increment. Results suggest that listening experience, involving the audibility with or without the device and the consistency of the device daily use must be considered throughout the whole process of the rehabilitation.

Published: November 2024

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a relação entre consistência de uso, percepção da fala, e vocabulário receptivo em crianças usuárias de auxiliares de audição, especificamente aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual (AASI). Método Foi retomada a população do estudo de Pereira (2023) e analisado o banco de dados com as informações referentes ao Índice de Inteligibilidade de Fala (SII) para sons de entrada de 65 dBNPS (com e sem AASI) de 29 crianças com perda auditiva neurossensorial usuárias de AASI bilateralmente, engajadas em língua oral, em famílias usuárias do português brasileiro. Foram analisados: o número de uso de horas por dia do dispositivo, média quadritonal, resultado da repetição de palavras com e sem sentido em 65 dBNPS, teste Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test – PPVT. A consistência de uso foi analisada por meio da medida da dosagem auditiva, que considera média de horas de uso e audibilidade com e sem AASI. Resultados O PPVT tem correlação positiva com o SII com AASI em 65 dBNPS. A média quadritonal tem correlação significativa negativa com o SII nas duas condições e o mesmo acontece com a média de horas diárias de uso. A dosagem tem correlação positiva significativa com os SII e negativa com a PTA. Conclusão O vocabulário receptivo tende a crescer com o aumento da dosagem auditiva. Os resultados sugerem que a experiência auditiva, envolvendo a audibilidade sem e com AASI e a consistência de uso diário do dispositivo, deve ser considerada durante todo o processo de reabilitação.
Lyrics as Law: Teaching the South African Constitution through Socially Conscious Songs
Authors: Mulaudzi Mutondi , Fagbayibo Babatunde
Published: November 2024

Abstract The discussion of South Africa’s political history is incomplete without the role of music and musicians in shaping the narrative of resistance to injustice and the quest for a better society. The violence of colonialism and Apartheid, the optimistic transition to a constitutional order, and the frustration with the post-Apartheid democratic government are documented in South African songs. While other disciplines in the humanities have explored the importance of music in South Africa’s societal configuration, little attention has been given to the subject in the legal academy. As such, this article advances the argument that socially conscious songs can play a meaningful role in understanding the South African Constitution. This kind of engagement makes technical ideas and concepts relatable and enhances students’ skills to see issues from a multidimensional perspective.

RESUMO Objetivo: realizar a adaptação transcultural e a avaliação das propriedades psicométricas da Escala INTEGRARE para o português do Brasil. Método: estudo metodológico com etapas de tradução, síntese, retrotradução e revisão por especialistas. As propriedades psicométricas foram avaliadas quanto à confiabilidade, validação de conteúdo e validação de construto convergente, com a Escala de Braden. O pré-teste foi realizado com 30 pacientes e a validação com 120 pacientes adultos internados em unidades clínicas e cirúrgicas de um hospital universitário do sul do Brasil. Resultados: a Escala INTEGRARE apresentou-se como de fácil aplicação e compreensibilidade, demonstrando ser aplicável na realidade brasileira. Na análise das propriedades psicométricas de confiabilidade, identificou-se consistência interna com alfa de Cronbach questionável (α=0,63); todavia, na validade convergente houve correlação significativa, positiva e forte (Rho=0,741; p<0,001) em relação à Braden. Conclusão: a adaptação amplia o escopo da enfermagem na utilização de instrumentos preditores de risco de Lesão por Pressão.

Authors: Wünsch Carla Gabriela , Kantorski Luciane Prado
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze care in severe psychic crises from the perspective of health professionals, people, and family members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: a multiple-case study, carried out with eight health professionals, six people in a crisis, and seven family members, monitored for three months, from October 2021 to June 2022, in a Brazilian capital. The data was analyzed using content analysis and the theoretical framework of necropolitics. Results: three categories emerged: “Scrapping the Psychosocial Care Network,” “Outpatient Psychosocial Care Centre,” and “Attending to the psychic crisis in the pandemic.” This confirms a necropolitics that cuts across the field of mental health and affects vulnerable people, and the debate on funding and race is urgent. Conclusion: The lack of specialized mental health services, coupled with outpatient mental health services that began before the pandemic, has worsened crisis care.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the INTEGRARE Scale for Brazilian Portuguese. Method: methodological study with translation, synthesis, back-translation, and expert review stages. The psychometric properties were assessed for reliability, content validation and convergent construct validation with the Braden Scale. The pre-test was carried out with 30 patients and the validation with 120 adult patients admitted to the clinical and surgical units of a university hospital in southern Brazil. Results: the INTEGRARE Scale was easy to apply and understand, proving to be applicable in Brazil. In the analysis of the psychometric reliability properties, internal consistency was identified with questionable Cronbach’s alpha (α=0.63); however, in convergent validity there was a significant, positive, and strong correlation (Rho=0.741; p<0.001) in relation to Braden. Conclusion: the adaptation broadens the scope of nursing in the use of instruments that predict the risk of Pressure Injury.

A Lógica da Causalidade Aplicada ao Presidencialismo de Coalizão: Considerações Metodológicas
Authors: Silva Glauco Peres da
Published: November 2024

Resumo O progresso metodológico da Ciência Política nas últimas três décadas gerou importantes alterações epistemológicas, cujos efeitos afetam o alcance de teorias consolidadas. Dentre estas mudanças, argumento que a avaliação causal do impacto de instituições sobre o comportamento político enfrenta desafios que têm sido desconsiderados quando se voltam a casos singulares. Isto decorre da incompatibilidade das estruturas causais subjacentes à formulação teórica utilizada e ao estudo de caso. Para evidenciar esta situação, considero a dimensão metodológica presente no surgimento do conceito de presidencialismo de coalizão. À luz dos avanços metodológicos contemporâneos, a discussão ainda carrega uma concepção epistemológica imprecisa, notada no uso teórico que previa o impasse institucional originado pela Constituição de 1988. Esta análise mostra-se relevante tanto porque esta constatação se ausenta em parte das pesquisas atuais, quanto por ressaltar a afinidade entre a produção metodológica e a formulação teórica na Ciência Política, como também por seus efeitos sobre desenhos de pesquisa.
Aníbal Quijano, Usurpador da Colonialidade do Poder? Resposta a Ramón Grosfoguel
Authors: Rubbo Deni Alfaro
Published: November 2024

Resumo Este artigo pretende problematizar as afirmações de Ramón Grosfoguel, especificamente em relação a Aníbal Quijano. Sustento que a acusação de “racismo epistêmico” feita por Grosfoguel, de acordo com a qual Quijano não teria reconhecido uma de suas dívidas intelectuais, é destituída de embasamento em fontes precisas. Contextualizando de maneira mais ampla a “colonialidade do poder”, argumento que Grosfoguel não leva em conta aspectos fundamentais da biografia do autor peruano, tanto de sua formação política e intelectual quanto do estilo de sua obra. Também, um exame da relação entre Quijano e a tradição intelectual peruana e latino-americana iluminará veredas cruciais na trajetória da teoria da “colonialidade do poder”. Desse modo, a grave acusação de “racismo epistêmico” feita pelo autor porto-riquenho deve ser colocada em questão, pois a trajetória acadêmica de Quijano revela que a elaboração da “colonialidade” é dotada de uma historicidade segundo a qual as ideias de raça e racismo são parte do processo global da construção da teoria.
Artificial Trust in Mutually Adaptive Human-Machine Teams
Authors: Centeio Jorge Carolina , De Visser Ewart J , Tielman Myrthe L , Jonker Catholijn M , Robert Lionel P
Published: November 2024

As machines' autonomy increases, their capacity to learn and adapt to humans in collaborative scenarios increases too. In particular, machines can use artificial trust (AT) to make decisions, such as task and role allocation/selection. However, the outcome of such decisions and the way these are communicated can affect the human's trust, which in turn affects how the human collaborates too. With the goal of maintaining mutual appropriate trust between the human and the machine in mind, we reflect on the requirements for having an AT-based decision-making model on an artificial teammate. Furthermore, we propose a user study to investigate the role of task-based willingness (e.g. human preferences on tasks) and its communication in AT-based decision-making.
ML Model Coverage Assessment by Topological Data Analysis Exploration
Authors: Fakhouri Ayman , Adjed Faouzi , Gonzalez Martin , Royer Martin
Published: November 2024

The increasing complexity of deep learning models necessitates advanced methods for model coverage assessment, a critical factor for their reliable deployment. In this study, we introduce a novel approach leveraging topological data analysis to evaluate the coverage of a couple dataset & classification model. By using tools from topological data analysis, our method identifies underrepresented regions within the data, thereby enhancing the understanding of both model performances and data completeness. This approach simultaneously evaluates the dataset and the model, highlighting areas of potential risk. We report experimental evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of this topological framework in providing a comprehensive and interpretable coverage assessment. As such, we aim to open new avenues for improving the reliability and trustworthiness of classification models, laying the groundwork for future research in this domain.

Published: November 2024

It is well known that successful human-AI collaboration depends on the perceived trustworthiness of the AI. We argue that a key to securing trust in such collaborations is ensuring that the AI competently addresses ethics' foundational role in engagements. Specifically, developers need to identify, address, and implement mechanisms for accommodating ethical components of AI choices. We propose an approach that instantiates ethics semantically as ontology-based moral policies. To accommodate the wide variation and interpretation of ethics, we capture such variations into ethics sets, which are situationally specific aggregations of relevant moral policies. We are extending our ontology-based policy management systems with new representations and capabilities to allow trustworthy AI-human ethical collaborative behavior. Moreover, we believe that such AI-human ethical encounters demand that trustworthiness is bi-directional – humans need to be able to assess and calibrate their actions to be consistent with the trustworthiness of AI in a given context, and AIs need to be able to do the same with respect to humans.
Using Gerontology Theory to Guide the Development of Artificial Intelligence to Support Aging-in-Place
Authors: Beer Jenay M. , Owens Otis L.
Published: November 2024

If artificial intelligence (AI) is to support aging-in-place, determining how, when, and why to apply AI is a crucial endeavor. A seminal gerontology meta-theory called Se-lection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) model has promise to conceptualize how AI can play a role in aging-in-place. The model posits that successful aging re-quires selecting goals/domains to apply resources, opti-mizing means to best achieve those goals, and compen-sating for losses by attaining new resources or tapping into unused resources for alternative means of pursuing those goals. In this short paper, we describe the SOC model, and draw links to domains in which AI can sup-port aging in place. For example, AI can assist with health-related decision making (selection), cognitive training and reminders (optimization), and domestic task assistance (compensation). Human-centered considera-tions are provided for implementation of AI in the home.
Robot Age: Considering Robot Origin and Voice Accent
Authors: Barfield Jessica K.
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates how social cues may influence judgements of a robots perceived age. To investigate this topic a 3 x 3 factorial study was run with the Misty II robot presenting with American, Chinese, and Mexican national origins and voice accents. In the study, the participant’s task was to estimate the robots’ age as a function of the robot’s origin and spoken accent. The results showed that Misty was thought to be the age of a teenager, but that females judged Misty to be significantly older than males. However, versions of Misty which presented with an American accent tended to produce more agreement among males and females in estimates of robot age than robots presenting with an accent identifying a Chinese or Mexican identity. Implications for the design of robot support systems for the elderly is discussed.

Authors: Sakhinana Sagar Srinivas , Sri Vaikunth Vijay , Runkana Venkataramana
Published: November 2024

We present the Process Engineering Operations Assistant (PEOA), an AI-driven framework designed to solve complex problems in the chemical and process industries. The framework employs a modular architecture orchestrated by a meta-agent, which serves as the central coordinator, managing an action generator and instruction-tuned small-scale language models (expert models). The action generator decomposes complex problems into sub-tasks and identifies suitable expert models to execute each, delivering precise solutions for multi-step problem-solving. Key techniques include advanced knowledge modeling using property graphs for improved information retrieval, facilitating more accurate and contextually relevant solutions. Additionally, the framework utilizes a teacher-student transfer-learning approach with GPT-4 (Omni) to fine-tune the action generator and expert models for domain adaptation, alongside an iterative problem-solving mechanism with sophisticated error handling. Custom datasets were developed to evaluate the framework against leading proprietary language models on various engineering tasks. The results demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in automating calculations, accelerating prototyping, and providing AI-augmented decision support for industrial processes, marking a significant advancement in process engineering capabilities.
DeepAge: Harnessing Deep Neural Network for Epigenetic Age Estimation From DNA Methylation Data of Human Blood Samples
Authors: Dip Sajib Acharjee , Ma Da , Zhang Liqing
Published: November 2024

Accurate prediction of biological age from DNA methylation data is a critical endeavor in understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging and developing age-related disease interventions. Traditional epigenetic clocks rely on linear regression or basic machine learning models, which often fail to capture the complex, non-linear interactions within methylation data. This study introduces DeepAge, a novel deep learning framework utilizing Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) to enhance the prediction of biological age from DNA methylation profiles using selected CpGs by a Dual-Correlation based apparoach. DeepAge leverages a sequence-based approach with dilated convolutions to effectively capture long-range dependencies between CpG sites, addressing the limitations of prior models by incorporating advanced network architectures including residual connections and dropout regularization. The dual correlation feature selection enhances our model's predictive capabilities by identifying the most age-relevant CpG sites. Our model outperforms existing epigenetic clocks across multiple datasets, offering significant improvements in accuracy and providing deeper insights into the epigenetic determinants of aging. The proposed method not only sets a new standard in age estimation but also highlights the potential of deep learning in biologically relevant feature extraction and interpretation, contributing to the broader field of computational biology and precision medicine.
Large-Scale Knowledge Graphs as a Tool for Enhanced Robotic Perception

Published: November 2024

Autonomous robotic systems depend on their perception and understanding of their environment for informed decision-making.
One of the goals of the Semantic Web is to make knowledge on the Web machine-readable, which can significantly aid robots by providing background knowledge, and thereby support their understanding.
In this paper, we present a reasoning system that uses the Ontology for Robotic Knowledge Acquisition (ORKA) to integrate the sensory data and perception algorithms of the robot, thereby enhancing its autonomous capabilities.
This reasoning system is subsequently employed to retrieve and integrate information from the Semantic Web, thereby improving the robot's comprehension of its environment.
To achieve this, the system employs a Perceived-Entity Linking (PEL) pipeline that associates regions in the sensory data of the robotic agent with concepts in a target knowledge graph.
As a use-case for the linking process, the Perceived-Entity Typing task is used to determine the more fine-grained subclass of the perceived entities.
Specifically, we provide an analysis of the performance of different knowledge graph embedding methods on the task using a annotated observations and WikiData as a target knowledge graph.
The experiments indicate that relying on pre-trained embedding methods results in an increased performance when using TransE as the embedding method for the observations of the robot.
This contribution advances the field by demonstrating the potential of integrating Semantic Web technologies with robotic perception, thereby enabling more nuanced and context-aware decision-making in autonomous systems.
Agreeing to Disagree: Translating Representations to Uncover a Unified Representation for Social Robot Actions
Authors: Elbeleidy Saad , Wilson Jason R.
Published: November 2024

Researchers and designers of social robots often approach robot control system design from a single perspective; such as designing autonomous robots, teleoperated robots, or robots programmed by an end-user. While each design approach presents a tradeoff between some advantages and limitations, there is an opportunity to integrate these approaches where people benefit from the best-fit approach for their use case. In this work, we propose integrating these seemingly distinct robot control approaches to uncover a common data representation of social actions defining social expression by a robot. We demonstrate the value of integrating an authoring system, teleoperation interface, and robot planning system by integrating instances of these systems for robot storytelling. By relying on an integrated system, domain experts can define behaviors through end-user interfaces that teleoperators and autonomous robot programmers can use directly thus providing a cohesive expert-driven robot system.
4D-based Robot Navigation Using Relativistic Image Processing
Authors: Müller Simone , Kranzlmüller Dieter
Published: November 2024

Machine perception is an important prerequisite for safe interaction
and locomotion in dynamic environments. This requires
not only the timely perception of surrounding geometries
and distances but also the ability to react to changing
situations through predefined, learned but also reusable skill
endings of a robot so that physical damage or bodily harm
can be avoided. In this context, 4D perception offers the possibility
of predicting one’s own position and changes in the
environment over time. In this paper, we present a 4D-based
approach to robot navigation using relativistic image processing.
Relativistic image processing handles the temporalrelated
sensor information in a tensor model within a constructive
4D space. 4D-based navigation expands the causal
understanding and the resulting interaction radius of a robot
through the use of visual and sensory 4D information.
Towards Pragmatic Temporal Alignment in Stateful Generative AI Systems: A Configurable Approach
Authors: Roy Kaushik , Zi Yuxin , Sheth Amit
Published: November 2024

Temporal alignment in stateful generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems remains an underexplored area, particularly beyond goal-driven approaches in planning. Stateful refers to maintaining a persistent memory or ``state'' across runs or sessions. This helps with referencing past information to make system outputs more contextual and relevant. This position paper proposes a position framework for temporal alignment with configurable toggles. We present five alignment mechanisms: knowledge graph path-based, neural score-based, vector similarity-based, and sequential process-guided alignment. By offering these interchangeable approaches, we aim to provide a flexible solution adaptable to complex and real-world application scenarios. This paper discusses the potential benefits and challenges of each alignment method and positions the importance of a configurable system in advancing progress in stateful generative AI systems.

Published: November 2024

Pakistan was hit by the world's deadliest flood in June 2022, causing agriculture and infrastructure damage across the country. Remote sensing technology offers a cost-effective and efficient method for flood impact assessment. This study is aimed to assess the impact of flooding on crops and built-up areas. Landsat 9 imagery, European Space Agency-Land Use/Land Cover (ESA-LULC) and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) data are used to identify and quantify the extent of flood-affected areas, crop damage, and built-up area destruction. The findings indicate that Sindh, a province in Pakistan, suffered the most. This impact destroyed most Kharif season crops, typically cultivated from March to November. Using the SMAP satellite data, it is assessed that the high amount of soil moisture after flood also caused a significant delay in the cultivation of Rabi crops. The findings of this study provide valuable information for decision-makers and stakeholders involved in flood risk management and disaster response.
