Sentiment Based Information Diffusion in Online Social Networks
Authors: Ahsan Mohammad , Kumari Madhu , Singh Tajinder , Pal Triveni Lal
Published: November 2019

This article describes how social media has emerged as a main vehicle of information diffusion among people. They often share their experience, feelings and knowledge through these channels. Some pieces of information quickly reach a large number of people, while others not. The authors analyzed this variation by collecting tweets on 2016 U.S. presidential election. This article gives a comprehensive understanding of how sentiment encoded in the textual contents can affects the information diffusion, along with the effect of content features, i.e., URLs, hashtags, and contextual features, i.e., number of followers, followees, tweets generated by the user so far, account age, tweet age. In order to explore the relationship between sentiment content and information diffusion, the authors first checked the features' significance as an indicator of diffusibility by using random forests. Finally, support vectors and k-Neighbors regression models are used to capture the complete dynamics of information diffusion. Experiments and results clearly reveal that sentiment prominently helps in making a better prediction of information diffusion.
The Diffusion of Ignorance in On-Line Communities
Authors: Arfini Selene , Bertolotti Tommaso , Magnani Lorenzo
Published: November 2019

This article aims to investigate how information-sharing mechanisms in online communities favor activities of ignorance distribution on their platforms, such as fake data, biased beliefs, and inaccurate statements. In brief, the authors claim that online communities provide more ways to connect the users to one another rather than to control the quality of the data they share and receive. This, in turn, diminishes the value of fact-checking mechanisms in online news-consumption. The authors contend that while digital environments can stimulate the interest of groups of students and amateurs in scientific and political topics, the diffusion of false, poor, and un-validated data through digital media contributes to the formation of bubbles of shallow understanding in the digitally informed public. In brief, the present article is a philosophical research that applies the virtual niche construction theory to the cognitive behavior of internet users, as it is described by the current psychological, sociological, and anthropological literature.
Contribution of Mindfulness to Individuals' Tendency to Believe and Share Social Media Content
Authors: Charoensukmongkol Peerayuth
Published: November 2019

The objective of this research was to explore the effect of mindfulness on individuals' tendencies to believe social media content and share it without realizing the potential consequences. The sample used in this study comprised 300 participants in Bangkok, Thailand, of whom 157 were full-time employees and 143 were college students. Results from partial least squares regression analysis supports the hypothesis that individuals who exhibit higher levels of mindfulness tend to be skeptical of the validity of information to which they are exposed. In addition, skepticism is linked to a decreased tendency to believe social media content and to share content on social media. The findings further support a direct link between mindfulness and a decreased tendency to share social media content. Overall, these findings confirm the positive contribution of mindfulness as a quality that may allow individuals to question the validity of social media content before they decide to believe it and share it with others.

Authors: Fang Youjia , Chen Xin , Song Zheng , Wang Tianzi , Cao Yang
Published: November 2019

Compartmental models have been used to model information diffusion on social media. However, there have been few studies on modelling positive and negative public opinions using compartmental models. This study aimed for using sentiment analysis and compartmental model to model the propagation of positive and negative opinions on microblogging big media. The authors studied the news propagation of seven popular social topics on China's Sina Weibo microblogging platform. Natural language processing and sentiment analysis were used to identify public opinions from microblogging big data. Then two existing (SIZ and SEIZ) models and a newly developed (SE2IZ) model were implemented to model the news propagation and evaluate the trends of public opinions on selected social topics. Simulation study was used to check model fitting performance. The results show that the new SE2IZ model has a better model fitting performance than existing models. This study sheds some new light on using social media for public opinion estimation and prediction.
Improvement for Channels With Multipath Fading (MF) Through the Methodology CBEDE
Authors: França Reinaldo Padilha , Iano Yuzo , Monteiro Ana Carolina Borges , Arthur Rangel
Published: November 2019

The present study aims to implement a discrete event simulation (DES)-based model. This model is called coding of bits for entities by means of discrete events (CBEDE) and aims to improve the transmission of content in wireless telecommunication systems. This is done by applying advanced modulation format DQPSK in a simulation environment, the Simulink of the MATLAB software, through a pre-coding process of bits applying discrete events in the signal before of the modulation process, occurring in the discrete domain with the implementation of discrete entities in the process of bit generation applied at a low level of abstraction in a wireless telecommunication system. The results show improvements of 89.08% in memory utilization, related to information compression, in the context of the research. Therefore, the presented results of the proposed methodology show an enormous potential for the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) contexts, credited as the future 5G, and can compensate for the additional complexity brought by the techniques to the telecommunications channel.
Optimizing 5G in V2X Communications
Authors: AbdelHakeem Shimaa Abdelnaby , Hady Anar Abdel , Kim HyungWon
Published: November 2019

Recently, the automotive industries have accelerated the deployment of Cellular V2X as a motivation to integrate vehicular communication with NewRadio-5G (NR-5G) technology. Nowadays, two critical technologies are concurrently supporting V2X communication: IEEE802.11p and cellular technologies. C-V2X is standardized and designed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for automotive services. C-V2X supports two communication modes through a single platform to provide Wifi-short-range and cellular-long-range communication. Wifi-short-range communication doesn't require network subscription or coverage while the cellular-long-range requires network subscription and coverage. LTE-V2X is the current standard of C-V2X which completed in March-2017 as the 3GPP-Release 14 and enhanced to support the upcoming 3GPP-Release 16 which support the NR-5G capabilities, enhancement, and services. In this chapter, the authors propose the Optimizing of 5G with V2X and analyzing the current V2X standards, introducing the evolution of 5G, challenges, features, requirements, design, and technologies.
Overidentification of English Language Learners for Special Education
Authors: Keough Penelope Debs
Published: November 2019

Alarming statistics presented by the United States Department of Education reveal a disproportionate number of students of minority language (English language learners) qualify for special education. As far back as 2007, the DOE recognized there was a concerted effort needed to reduce racial and ethnic disproportionality in racial and ethnic identification, placement, and disciplinary actions for minority students' representation in special education. This chapter will examine and address solutions to prevent the over identification of English language learners in special education specifically in the area of identification. As a further objective, the ramifications of this over representation will be examined, and the authors hypothesize about why the over representation occurs. Confusion over the Unz Initiative (1998, Proposition 227) may have inadvertently led to the over identification. A case study, leading to case law, concludes the chapter.
Understanding the Attrition Rates of Diverse Teacher Candidates
Authors: Johnson Tonya , Lehner Edward
Published: November 2019

The National Center for Education Statistics has indicated that the vast majority of New York State teaching positions remain disproportionately reflective of and populated by members of the dominant culture even while student populations grow increasingly diverse. New York has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of racially and ethnically diverse students, including many immigrant groups, in nearly all regions of the state. Consistently, teacher education research has underscored the importance of having multilingual, multiethnic, and multiracial teacher candidates successfully enter the teaching profession. Yet it appears that too few teacher preparation programs have altered preparation practices to accommodate this need. While acknowledging the need for a more diverse teaching force, this chapter examines 5 years of teacher candidates' educational outcomes in an urban community college. The empirical data underscore a complicated and often exclusionary teacher preparation pathway. This pathway, inadvertently, often precludes racially and ethnically diverse teacher candidates.
Can Rumor Clarification Eliminate the Effects of Rumors?
Authors: Ji Peinan , Yan Xiangbin , Yu Guang
Published: November 2019

This article analyzes the effects of rumor and official rumor clarification on Chinese stock returns under different rumor conditions using an event study. The results are based on a sample of 832 rumor clarification announcements from China Listed Companies spanning the period of 2015 to 2017. The results show that the average cumulative abnormal return after the rumor event is significantly positive in the positive rumor sample and neutral sample, and significantly negative in the negative rumor sample. After the clarification announcements, we find the announcements effective for the positive and neutral rumor sample, but not in the case of the negative sample. However, by comparing different clarification times of each sample, we find that the earlier the clarification time is, the smaller the impact on the companies in positive and negative rumor examples.
An Application of an EM Algorithm for Skew Detection of Signatures in Text Images
Authors: Rajesh T. M.  , Dalawai Kavyashree
Published: November 2019

For security purposes of important documents and transactions in real world applications, we generally use biometric techniques for the authentication and validation of a person. If one has to achieve accurate results in the identification and verification process using a signature in text images as a biometric trait, we need to remove the skew of the signature in text images. In the preprocessing stage many phases are being carried out, among these phases, the signature in the text image, skew detection is the most significant phase, because these deskewed results will be used as one of the features in the feature extraction phase to identify and verify the signature. In this article we are proposing a novel method for skew detection of the signatures in text images using an estimation and maximization (EM) algorithm which is efficient and fast. The EM algorithm sequentially works in two stages, the combination of estimation (E-step) and the maximization (M-step) which helps in detection of the skew in skewed signatures in text image accurately.
Robotic Expert System for Energy Management in Distributed Grid Ecosystem
Authors: Chiagozie Ononiwu Gordon , Okafor Kennedy Chinedu , Nwaokolo F I
Published: November 2019

A robotic expert system (RES) for energy management (EM) in community-based micro-grids is developed using a fuzzy computational scheme. Within the micro-grid multi-dimensional space, embedded algorithms for residential homes, sectors and central controller units are introduced to perform EM in a collaborative manner. Demand response and load shedding are carried out within the community micro-grid to ascertain the behavioral responses based on changes in power demand levels. Various tests are carried out with an observable low error margin. It was observed that the system reduced the total power demand on the micro-grid by 20% of the total distributed power. Micro-grid RES, neuro-fuzzy control (NFC), and support vector regression (SVR) evaluations are compared considering the home units at 40kW of the generated capacity. The results gave a 35.79%, 31.58% and 32.63% energy demand, respectively. Consequently, RES provides a grid look-ahead prediction, annotated-self healing, and stability restoration.
Applying the Computational Intelligence Paradigm to Nuclear Power Plant Operation
Authors: Tambouratzis Tatiana , Giannatsis John , Kyriazis Andreas , Siotropos Panayiotis
Published: November 2019

In the guise of artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic/evolutionary computation algorithms (GAs/ECAs), fuzzy logic (FL) inference systems (FLIS) and their variants as well as combinations, the computational intelligence (CI) paradigm has been applied to nuclear energy (NE) since the late 1980s as a set of efficient and accurate, non-parametric, robust-to-noise as well as to-missing-information, non-invasive on-line tools for monitoring, predicting and overall controlling nuclear (power) plant (N(P)P) operation. Since then, the resulting CI-based implementations have afforded increasingly reliable as well as robust performance, demonstrating their potential as either stand-alone tools, or - whenever more advantageous - combined with each other as well as with traditional signal processing techniques. The present review is focused upon the application of CI methodologies to the - generally acknowledged as - key-issues of N(P)P operation, namely: control, diagnostics and fault detection, monitoring, N(P)P operations, proliferation and resistance applications, sensor and component reliability, spectroscopy, fusion supporting operations, as these have been reported in the relevant primary literature for the period 1990-2015. At one end, 1990 constitutes the beginning of the actual implementation of innovative, and – at the same time – robust as well as practical, directly implementable in H/W, CI-based solutions/tools which have proved to be significantly superior to the traditional as well as the artificial-intelligence-(AI)derived methodologies in terms of operation efficiency as well as robustness-to-noise and/or otherwise distorted/missing information. At the other end, 2015 marks a paradigm shift in terms of the emergent (and, swiftly, ubiquitous) use of deep neural networks (DNNs) over existing ANN architectures and FL problem representations, thus dovetailing the increasing requirements of the era of complex - as well as Big - Data and forever changing the means of ANN/neuro-fuzzy construction and application/performance. By exposing the prevalent CI-based tools for each key-issue of N(P)P operation, overall as well as over time for the given 1990-2015 period, the applicability and optimal use of CI tools to NE problems is revealed, thus providing the necessary know-how concerning crucial decisions that need to be made for the increasingly efficient as well as safe exploitation of NE.
Popularised Similarity Function for Effective Collaborative Filtering Recommendations
Authors: Almu Abba , Roko Abubakar , Mohammed Aminu , Saidu Ibrahim
Published: November 2019

The existing similarity functions use the user-item rating matrix to process similar neighbours that can be used to predict ratings to the users. However, the functions highly penalise high popular items which lead to predicting items that may not be of interest to active users due to the punishment function employed. The functions also reduce the chances of selecting less popular items as similar neighbours due to the items with common ratings used. In this article, a popularised similarity function (pop_sim) is proposed to provide effective recommendations to users. The pop_sim function introduces a modified punishment function to minimise the penalty on high popular items. The function also employs a popularity constraint which uses ratings threshold to increase the chances of selecting less popular items as similar neighbours. The experimental studies indicate that the proposed pop_sim is effective in improving the accuracy of the rating prediction in terms of not only lowering the MAE but also the RMSE.
Big Data Contextual Analytics Study on Arabic Tweets Summarization
Authors: Al-Ibrahim Fatimah , Alzamil Zakarya A
Published: November 2019

Twitter represents a source of information as well as a free space for people to express their opinions on diverse topics. The use of twitter is rapidly increasing and generates a massive amount of data from several types and forms, in which searching for relevant tweets in a specific topic is hard manually due to irrelevant tweets. There has been much research on English tweets for understanding context; however, in spite of the fact that the Twitter active Arabic users are over hundreds of millions, there are very limited studies that have investigated Arabic tweets to produce an automatic summarization. This article proposes a multi-conversational Arabic tweets summarization approach, with a new concept of tweet classification based on influence factor. Such an approach is able to analyze Arabic tweets and provide a readable, informative, precise, concise, and diversified summary. The evaluation metrics of precision, recall, and f-measure have shown good results of the system compared to related Arabic summarization studies.
Comprehensive Review on Deep Learning for Neuronal Disorders
Authors: Majhi Vinayak , Saikia Angana , Datta Amitava , Sinha Aseem , Paul Sudip
Published: November 2019

In the last few years deep learning (DL) has gained a great attention in modern technology. By using a deep learning method, we can analyse different types of data in different domains which is near to the accuracy of humans. As DL is our upcoming technology and it is also under development, we can say DL is the successor of machine learning (ML) technique. In the present era, ML is used everywhere, wherever we need to analyse statistical data. As we can say DL is our future technology that going to cover every sector of our modern industry, one question always remains: why we are lagging? So, the simple answer in terms of analysing any algorithm is complexity, both time and space. DL needs a large artificial neural network (ANN) with hundreds of hidden layers trained with a huge amount of data. So, to performing these tasks we need high-performance computing device that is very expensive in nowadays. With the growing industries of semiconducting devices, we can easily say that the future of DL is about to come with developing artificial intelligence (AI). As an example, in 2009, the Google Brain, a deep learning artificial intelligence team of Google introduced a Nvidia GPU which increased the learning speed of DL system by 100 times. As of 2017, the intermediate connection of networks increases to a few million units from few thousand, this network can perform several tasks like object recognition, pattern recognition, speech recognition, and image restoration. It has a greater scope in bioengineering since each living organism contains a huge amount data; it can be used for disease diagnosis, rehabilitation, and treatment. It can also help by using data to find the different features and helps us to take several possible decisions in real time. In this review, we found that DL can be very helpful for diagnosing neurological disorders by its symptoms, because DL can be used to identify patterns for each disorder for identification. The benefit is learning how DL can be helpful identifying different neuronal disorders based on different neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Published: November 2019

Education is a universal tool, which empowers and sets the progressive tenor for future humankind and globe. In view of this, BRICS Network University (NU) has created a co-operative institutional mechanism wherein 12 universities of five nations will engage typically for designing educational programs, initiating research and innovation activities, and planning the academic mobility of faculty, staff, and students. Paralleled, there is also an acute need for BRICS NU to build, nurture, and sustain academic leadership in its universities to enable the expansion of its gamut to address the global opportunities and challenges in higher education. Adopting a qualitative case-based approach this paper seeks to understand how academic leadership will boost the higher education quality through the BRICS NU pact. It also deliberates on the need for conscious responsiveness to the ever-changing nature of higher education, needs to collaborate and engage globally, imbibe the global opportunities and convert the global challenges into research problems and academic programmes.

Authors: Babaghayou Messaoud , Labraoui Nabila , Ari Ado Adamou Abba
Published: November 2019

The main purpose of designing vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) is to achieve safety by periodically broadcasting the vehicle's coordinates with a high precision. This advantage brings a threat represented in the possible tracking and identification of the vehicles. A possible solution is to use and change pseudonyms. However, even by changing pseudonyms, the vehicle could still be tracked if the adversary has a prior knowledge about the potential start and end points of a particular driver who has social interactions (e.g., with neighbors) which introduces the concept of vehicular social networks (VSNs). This article extends the authors previous work, namely: “EPP Extreme Points Privacy for Trips and Home Identification in Vehicular Social Networks,” which exploits the nature of the end points that are common between VSN users in order to create shared zones to anonymize them. The extension is represented by (a) the evaluation of the enjoyed location privacy of VSN users after quitting the district in addition to (b) detailing the used environment during the evaluation.
A Case for Applying Activity Theory in IS Research
Authors: Iyamu Tiko
Published: November 2019

The use of Activity Theory (AT) to underpin Information Systems (IS) research continues to increase. However, many challenges are implicitly associated with the theory. Access to the qualitative data needed is a significant issue. Other challenges emanate from the lack of examples or know-how, which discourages postgraduate students from selecting the theory, even though AT would have been the most appropriate approach for their research. This study was carried out from two perspectives: (i) qualitative data collection; and (ii) the use of AT as lens in qualitative IS research. The interpretivist approach was employed. The semi-structured technique was used to collect the data. The analysis of the data was conducted by following the hermeneutics technique from the interpretivist approach perspective. Based on the analysis of the data, two models were developed. The first model is intended to guide data collection, while the latter focuses on the use of AT to guide the analysis and interpretation of data in IS research.
Multi-Fuzzy-Objective Graph Pattern Matching with Big Graph Data
Authors: Li Lei , Zhang Fang , Liu Guanfeng
Published: November 2019

Big graph data is different from traditional data and they usually contain complex relationships and multiple attributes. With the help of graph pattern matching, a pattern graph can be designed, satisfying special personal requirements and locate the subgraphs which match the required pattern. Then, how to locate a graph pattern with better attribute values in the big graph effectively and efficiently becomes a key problem to analyze and deal with big graph data, especially for a specific domain. This article introduces fuzziness into graph pattern matching. Then, a genetic algorithm, specifically an NSGA-II algorithm, and a particle swarm optimization algorithm are adopted for multi-fuzzy-objective optimization. Experimental results show that the proposed approaches outperform the existing approaches effectively.

Published: November 2019

Managed aquifer recharge (MAR), an intentional storage of excess water to an aquifer, is becoming a promising water resource management tool to cope with the worldwide water shortage. Bioclogging is a commonly encountered operational issue that lowers hydraulic conductivity and overall performance in MAR. The current study investigates the impact of carbon and nitrogen in recharge water on bioclogging in MAR. For this investigation, continuous-flow columns packed with sand grains were operated with influents having 0 (C1), 5 (C2), and 100 mg/L (C3) of glucose with or without introduction of nitrate. Hydraulic conductivity was analyzed to evaluate bioclogging in the systems. In C1 and C2, hydraulic conductivity was not significantly changed overall. However, hydraulic conductivity in C3 was decreased by 28.5% after three weeks of operation, which appears to be attributed to generation of fermentation bacteria. Introduction of nitrogen to C3 led to a further decrease in hydraulic conductivity by 25.7% compared to before it was added, most likely due to stimulation of denitrifying bacteria. These findings indicate that high carbon contents and introduction of additional nitrogen in recharge water cause serious bioclogging in MAR, suggesting the necessity for controlling quality of recharge water.

Uso de métodos computacionales en la enseñanza de las formas complejas, caso: paraboloide hiperbólico
Authors: Carmona Aparicio Carolina
Published: November 2019

Las formas complejas representan un interesante modelo de diseño para los estudiantes de arquitectura, sin embargo su enseñanza y entendimiento son difíciles. Esto se debe a modelos matemáticos abstractos, a la dificultad de visualización de las geometrías, y al desconocimiento de su comportamiento estructural. Dichas problemáticas pueden ser resueltas con el uso de tecnologías que nos permitan la generación de modelos virtuales que el alumno pueda manipular, aparte de analizar geometrías con un amplio historial de aplicaciones y estudios de su comportamiento. Las metodologías computacionales y didácticas son esenciales para el orden y desarrollo del proceso de enseñanza, al igual que referirse a casos constructivos existentes, por lo que se ha escogido al paraboloide hiperbólico como objeto de estudio.

Combinación de módulos en el sistema metrológico clásico
Authors: Roldán Francisco
Published: November 2019

A partir de los resultados obtenidos en el estudio gráfico del trazado del edificio del Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo de Granada, España (Roldán 2011), se abre un ingente campo de trabajo sobre el estudio y análisis del posible uso del sistema de doble escala en la arquitectura histórica monumental.

Planteamos caracterizar las peculiaridades del sistema con objeto de profundizar en su investigación para poder dilucidar el conocimiento olvidado, aprovechando las implicaciones gráficas y de representación que demanda el esquema metrológico detectado, la variedad tipológica que presentan sus tramas modulares, y las recurrentes combinaciones de módulos de ambas escalas.

Mediante iconos tan sencillos como una escuadra se justifican todas las tramas, tanto estáticas como dinámicas, que modulan el edificio. Singulares combinaciones de módulos permiten aproximaciones operativas a fracciones y razones no presentes en el sistema.

Patrimonio arquitectónico y cámara oscura
Authors: Lozano Martínez Francisco Ramón , González Martínez Víctor , Barba García Antonio Manuel , Pastor Barrera Manuel
Published: November 2019

Un indicador del nivel cultural de un país es la atención que dedica a su patrimonio en general y al arquitectónico en particular.

La correcta utilización y conservación del patrimonio supone una gran sensibilización ciudadana y de las instituciones públicas, privadas y religiosas. Supone también una importante inversión económica y en ocasiones esta circunstancia es determinante.

Una buena fórmula para la conservación del patrimonio arquitectónico es la reutilización de los inmuebles pero sería deseable que en su nueva actividad no pierdan sus características arquitectónicas originales y genuinas.

La implantación de la atracción internacional de la Cámara Oscura en tres edificios singulares y muy diferentes entre sí de nuestro entorno, ha supuesto la reutilización de los mismos y su incorporación a los circuitos turísticos y culturales de Sevilla, Jerez de la Frontera y Cádiz.

En Sevilla la Torre de la Fábrica de los Perdigones, una instalación industrial del siglo XIX de indudable interés sociológico, además del arquitectónico.

En Jerez de la Frontera la torre de un edificio aristocrático que en siglo XVII recupera partes, muy deterioradas, del antiguo Alcázar de la ciudad. Es el palacio de D. Lorenzo Fernández de Villavicencio.

Y por último, la Torre Tavira en Cádiz. Torre vigía del siglo XVIII que constituye con otras muchas un skyline singular de la ciudad. Fue torre de comunicaciones portuarias y del ejército y finalmente rehabilitada y utilizada, como las anteriores, por la Cámara Oscura.
Dibujar, escribir, pintar. El Greco pintor de mapas
Authors: Calduch Pedralba Juan
Published: November 2019

Pintar textos o dibujar planos en un cuadro implica utilizar unos sistemas de representación que simulan, con las técnicas pictóricas, imágenes realizadas con unos medios e instrumentos diferentes y para unos fines distintos. A lo largo de los siglos XV y XVI en la representación de ciudades y territorios se utilizaron unas mismas convenciones gráficas tanto en los cuadros pintados, como en los mapas dibujados o grabados, lo que daba origen a lecturas e interpretaciones confusas. Con el fin de solventar este problema, en el ámbito de la cartografía militar la representación de ciudades se desgajó en dos tipos de imágenes: las vistas cartográficas en perspectiva (scenografia) y los mapas en planta (ichnografia). En sus obras El Greco utilizó todos estos sistemas de representación habituales, lo que pone en evidencia su conocimiento y dominio de los medios propios de la cartografía más evolucionada de su época. En el cuadro Vista y plano de Toledo (1608-1614) se combinan ambas formas de representación de las ciudades: la vista descriptiva y la planta cartográfica. Aunque históricamente el cuadro se ha considerado, de manera lógica, dentro de la producción pictórica de El Greco, tanto la vista pintada como el plano pintado que constituyen la obra, tienen un valor específico dentro de la evolución histórica de la expresión gráfica arquitectónica, porque plantean cuestiones de representación, de sistemas y de convenciones gráficas esenciales en esta disciplina.
Función de la documentación catastral. Nuevos métodos

La creciente demanda que está teniendo el Catastro en España obliga a que recapacitemos sobre la valiosa información que nos proporciona. Las características de los bienes inmuebles contenidos en un determinado territorio, sus propietarios, su situación jurídica – económica y usos sustentan el mejor inventario que posee la Administración. Este se utiliza, entre otras finalidades, para obtener el pago, por parte del administrado, del impuesto correspondiente. El uso que se le da al Catastro como registro público, su elaboración y gestión a través de un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG), así como su futuro en 3D, interesa desde un punto de vista técnico.
Use of BIM software in degree final project, parameterization of ‘Symbcity House’ prototype. Solar Decathlon 2014. Plateau Team

A partir de la participación de la Universidad de Castilla la Mancha y la Universidad de Alcalá en el concurso de casas solares Solar Decathlon, uno de los alumnos participantes, de UCLM, junto con profesores de la Escuela Politécnica de Cuenca, en este caso pertenecientes al área de expresión gráfica, desarrolla el Proyecto Fin de Grado.

Con ello, se centralizan las distintas propuestas del proyecto mediante el Software ArchiCAD, analizando las variantes producidas en CAD desde las diferentes escuelas y generando archivos comunes para todo el equipo de diseño; produciendo así la documentación gráfica de todos los componentes del modelo y analizando los puntos singulares del edificio, permitiendo corregir de manera tridimensional aquellos conflictos que se puedan originar al no integrar todos los elementos y sus propiedades en un único archivo.

La actualización de documentación permite su comparación con el prototipo real, de forma que los documentos reflejan el estado ‘as built’ de lo ejecutado.

POR UMA ESTÉTICA DA VOZ
Authors: Alves-Garbim Juliana Franco
Published: November 2019

O presente trabalho tem como propósito apontar alguns caminhos acerca da noção de belo e poético em obras escritas, mas que são originárias da tradição oral. As discussões giram em torno da dualidade e das tensões entre o espaço oral e o escrito. Buscamos perceber a poética e a beleza das manifestações populares tradicionais em curso na contemporaneidade. Procuramos entender a relação entre a poética oral em meio letrado e os aspectos estéticos que se coadunam à produção literária. Como aparato teórico, contamos com o respaldo de Paul Zumthor, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes dentre outros pensadores.
LETRAS DE AMOR E MORTE EM UM CONTO DE JOÃO ANTÔNIO NETO
Authors: Barnetche Barth Luís Fernando , Da Rocha Reis Célia Maria Domingues
Published: November 2019

Neste artigo, produzido na perspectiva comparada entre Literatura e Psicanálise, analisamos o conto “A morte às soltas”, de João Antônio Neto, escritor mato-grossense, cujo enredo se organiza em torno da leitura equivocada de determinada expressão em um bilhete e a escolha seletiva de situações pelo personagem protagonista, que inventariam a sua própria morte. A partir do estudo do lapso de leitura e da escansão dos significantes em jogo, o conto possibilita a investigação das vicissitudes do amor, enquanto um lugar vazio, e os efeitos da letra para o sujeito do inconsciente.
RELAÇÕES ENTRE ORALIDADE E ESCRITA NA COMUNICAÇÃO
Authors: Dravet Florence Marie , De Oliveira Alan Santos
Published: November 2019

Este artigo problematiza a comunicação enquanto fenômeno de oralidade e escrita cuja relação circular constitui uma força dinâmica. Partimos de um símbolo dos povos akan (grupo étnico da Costa do Marfim e de Gana), denominado sankofa, que significa “nunca é tarde para voltar e apanhar o que ficou para trás”. Buscamos nele identificar a complexidade do símbolo, seu enraizamento numa cultura da oralidade e a gestualidade de ancestralidade africana, assim como a força do traço escrito, revendo vários conceitos sobre as formas de comunicação ditas “primitivas”.

Published: November 2019

Este trabalho pretende apresentar brevemente algumas definições sobre a teoria do trauma e, por conseguinte, da literatura de testemunho, ilustrando-as pela consideração de determinados aspectos do romance antiguerra Sozaboy, a novel in rotten English, do escritor nigeriano Ken Saro-Wiwa. Como base teórica, foram utilizados autores como White (1994), Seligmann-Silva (2003;2005), Lincoln (2010), Martins (2013), entre outros.
ELIO VITTORINI E LUCIANO DE CRESCENZO
Authors: Tommasello Ramos Maria Celeste , Gonçalves de Faria Patrícia Aparecida
Published: November 2019

Os autores italianos Elio Vittorini (1908-1966), em seu romance Conversazione in Sicilia (1941) e Luciano De Crescenzo (1928), na obra Elena, Elena, amore mio (1991), em épocas diversas do século XX, utilizaram a Memória no tecer da representação literária. Com base em Bergson (1999), Gagnebin (2006) e Fentress (2007), entre outros; abordamos, em nosso estudo, como o retorno ao passado, no romance de Vittorini, denunciou as mazelas e as injustiças de seu tempo, enquanto em Elena, Elena, amore mio verificamos que, desde a premissa, considerações são realizadas por De Crescenzo a respeito de seu passado pessoal, ao qual ele mescla as histórias mitológicas, recontadas por ele com base em Homero, confirmando a importância do mito na contemporaneidade e a importância do papel da Memória no tecer literário.
PERFORMANCES DA MEMÓRIA
Authors: Mascarenhas Santos Vanusa
Published: November 2019

O presente trabalho propõe-se discutir, em Terra Sonâmbula, obra literária do escritor moçambicano Mia Couto, como a oralidade e a escrita são dinamizadas em uma proposição de memória africana. A hipótese é que o diário de Kindzu, texto escrito a partir de experiências ouvidas e vividas pelo próprio narrador, ao ser reencenado performaticamente em volta da fogueira por Muidinga e misturado às suas vivências e de Tuahir abala a composição clássica da memória escrita e esgarça o mutismo imposto pela leitura silenciosa.
O ROMANCE COMO FORMA DE MEMÓRIA EM WALTER BENJAMIN E A FIGURAÇÃO DA EXPERIÊNCIA INDIVIDUAL DO NARRADOR D’A PEDRA DO REINO, DE ARIANO SUASSUNA
Authors: Ferreira Cazumbá Renailda , Gomes da Silva Edvania
Published: November 2019

Neste artigo, propomos uma análise das interações entre narração e memória, no âmbito do romance moderno, adotando como objeto da análise a reconstrução da experiência do narrador do Romance d’ A Pedra do Reino, de Ariano Suassuna. Apropriamo-nos da afinidade estabelecida por Walter Benjamin (1994) entre experiência vivida e o ato de narração. Com base na reflexão do alcance dado pelo conceito de narrador tradicional, discutimos a possibilidade de reconstrução da experiência no espaço do romance, aproximando as ideias do filósofo com a configuração do romance latinoamericano e brasileiro. Dessa forma, mostramos que Quaderna, mesmo representando o narrador no âmbito da narrativa romanesca moderna, reconstitui as experiências através de rastros da memória.
