description: Trabajar la inclusión de los individuos en el mundo social y educativo de hoy es una labor ardua por el rápido avance que la sociedad en general está viviendo. Junto a este aspecto, el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en general y de Internet en particular está provocando nuevas situaciones de exclusión de los sujetos, independientemente del nivel educativo, social o económico de las mismas. En este artículo presentamos una experiencia de formación para la e‑inclusión de los sujetos, llevada a cabo con 40 estudiantes del máster “Educación Inclusiva” impartido en la Universidad de Córdoba (España). A través de la creación de blog de carácter educativo se muestra a los estudiantes una nueva manera de potenciar la inclusión de las personas en las dinámicas de la sociedad.

description: Este artigo visa esclarecer a importância educativa do podcast como tecnologia direcionada à ampliação da expressão e audição de vozes diversas na formação dos Sujeitos, possibilitando o contato e exercício de temas, valores e opiniões normalmente suprimidos em diversos contextos, inclusive em sala de aula. A relevância do cenário exposto será sustentada pelo referencial educativo de Paulo Freire, para o qual a educação relaciona-se à interseção das opiniões múltiplas dos Sujeitos, em diálogo alheio a quaisquer privilégios relativos a um ou outro valor. Nesse intuito, os usos atuais do podcast no Brasil – país pautado por uma crescente inserção dessa tecnologia – serão contrapostos, além de ao contexto escolar típico, à natureza geral de produções em tecnologias afins. A afirmativa exposta servirá para ressaltar a teste deste artigo, cuja relevância será sublinhada também pela apresentação da ausência na bibliografia da área da discussão aqui proposta. Como conclusão, apresenta-se o reforço da perspectiva do podcast enquanto tecnologia de ampliação de possibilidades educativas no viés apresentado.

Systematic review of association between values of nature, nature’s contributions to people and good quality of life and futures in scenarios, visions and pathways Code: IPBES_VA_5.2 Versioning: 04 (14.03.2022) DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4359655 Description: This review corresponds to the IPBES Values Assessment Chapter 5. The review explained in this report explores which values underpin different future scenarios, visions and pathways, and what the futures are in terms of impacts on nature, nature’s contributions to people and good quality of life. In order to achieve this, various data collection activities were carried out to gather different types of data. Steps followed are described in turn. A parallel analysis tracked whether there are different types of values of nature (e.g., instrumental, relational) and their dynamics (e.g., singular / plural, level of diversity, dominance of one / balance), associated with particular types of futures (e.g., undesirable / desirable, unsustainable / sustainable, dystopian / utopian). This review aims to contribute useful information for answering the mandate for the Chapter 5 that refers to the types of conceptualizations of the value of nature and its benefits to people that have not been explicitly addressed or have not been explicitly incorporated into decision-making.

description: The design of stacks of layered materials in which adjacent layers interact by van der Waals forces[1] has enabled the combination of various two-dimensional crystals with different electrical, optical and mechanical properties, and the emergence of novel physical phenomena and device functionality[2-8]. Here we report photo-induced doping in van der Waals heterostructures (VDHs) consisting of graphene and boron nitride layers. It enables flexible and repeatable writing and erasing of charge doping in graphene with visible light. We demonstrate that this photo-induced doping maintains the high carrier mobility of the graphene-boron nitride (G/BN) heterostructure, which resembles the modulation doping technique used in semiconductor heterojunctions, and can be used to generate spatially-varying doping profiles such as p-n junctions. We show that this photo-induced doping arises from microscopically coupled optical and electrical responses of G/BN heterostructures, which includes optical excitation of defect transitions in boron nitride, electrical transport in graphene, and charge transfer between boron nitride and graphene.

description: In this article, three polymerizable polysiloxane monomers with different chain lengths (MA-Sin, n = 3,6,9) have been synthesized, and then MA-Sin was mixed with disulfide monomer (SA) and different acrylate monomers in certain proportion to obtain a series of photopolymerizable systems. The effects of the contents of SA and MA-Sin, and the chain length of MA-Sin on the photopolymerization kinetics, volume shrinkage, water contact angle, thermal resistance, glass transition temperature (Tg), tensile properties and degradability of the photocured films were explored in detail. The results show that the content and the chain length of MA-Sin have no significant effect on the final double bond conversion, which reaches about 94%. With the increase of SA content, the volume shrinkage of the photocured film descends and eventually drops to 3.23%. The addition of MA-Sin contributes to improve thermal stability and hydrophobicity. With the lengthening of the chain length of MA-Sin, the water contact angle, tensile strength, elongation at break and thermal resistance of the photocured film were enhanced, whereas Tg is decreased. More importantly, the SA endows the photocured films with good degradability. The acrylate photopolymerization systems containing disulfide monomer (SA) and polysiloxane monomer (MA-Sin, n = 3,6,9) exhibit excellent photopolymerization property, low volume shrinkage (3.42%), outstanding degradation property, and improved thermostability and hydrophobicity.

"They had it coming" - Extent and contextual determinants of scientific misconduct in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland
Creators: name: Velicu, Antonia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The current study thus makes three major contributions to existing literature. First, we can provide an up-to-date understanding of how prevalent scientific misconduct is in the academic systems of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Second, this study is the first to look at the relationship between neutralisation and scientific misconduct among researchers. This approach does therefore advance the criminological literature on neutralisation, as we apply this in a new context. Third, through the implementation of the techniques we provide an enhanced understanding of scientific misconduct – what the context is in which it takes place. In doing so, we offer individuals and institutions the opportunity to target risky discourses to prevent the emergence of an academic culture that triggers scientific misconduct. Ideally, we would like to provide the tools to neutralise the neutralisation of misbehaviour and in doing so help find ways to prevent misconduct.

description: Pretendemos con esta investigación aportar ideas que ayuden a mejorar el funcionamiento social de la Educación Permanente (EP), a la vez que queremos aumentar el conocimiento relacionado con esta enseñanza ofrecida por el sistema educativo español. Así, nos hemos preocupado por conocer la realidad educativa de una de las comarcas de la provincia de Córdoba llamada Valle del Guadiato desde la metodología comparada. En este sentido, realizamos un análisis teniendo en cuenta diferentes dimensiones que influyen en el desarrollo de la EP como, por ejemplo, el mercado laboral (comparando datos sobre el desempleo y el empleo en las seis localidades involucradas). Entendemos que la EP constituye una meta pedagógica mucho más ambiciosa que la propuesta por una educación de adultos o por un programa de alfabetización total. Los resultados son muy interesantes por su actualidad, destacando el perfil de los estudiantes y sus motivaciones. Así podemos proponer algunas líneas de mejora, que tengan en cuenta dimensiones socioculturales como los estilos de aprendizaje, el contexto, las necesidades de aprendizaje y los intereses personales.

description: The recovery phase of the largest storms ever recorded has been studied. These events provide an extraordinary opportunity for two goals: (1) to validate the hyperbolic model by Aguado et al. [2010] for the recovery phase after disturbances as severe as the Carrington event, or that related to the Hydro-Quebec blackout in March 1989, and (2) to check whether the linear relationship between the recovery time and the intensity of the storm still complies. Our results reveal the high accuracy of the hyperbolic decay function to reproduce the recovery phase of the magnetosphere after an extreme storm. Moreover, the characteristic time that takes the magnetosphere to recover depends in an exponential way on the intensity of the storm, as indicated by the relationship between the two parameters involved in the hyperbolic decay. This exponential function can be approached by a linear function when the severity of the storm diminishes.

The self as tension of wholeness and emptiness

Publisher: name: Interacções
Year: 2013

description: The article provides a framework of the Self, understood as a dynamic semiotic system in constant evolutive tension rather than a system in equilibrium adapting to the environmental changing conditions. The aim of the whole special issue is indeed to provide new hints for the reflection about the relationship between Self and semiosis, from both the theoretical and philosophical points of view. The articles of Salvatore, Luleci and Silva Filho & Dazzani, discuss the relationship between the Self and the ideas of context, agency, belief and action as co-constitutive of the subject. The Self, as high level semiotic instance, is the process that results of and regulates the uniqueness of the experience in irreversible time. The continuity of the stream of Self and the culturally codified ways of producing signs about the experience in the world are also discussed. The articles of de Souza, de Mattos & Chavez, Fivush, Simao & Sampaio, instead, discuss the process of semiosis in different periods of the lifespan. Guimaraes, questions the generalization of Self across cultures, presenting the notion of “multiple selves”.

The reciprocal inherency of self and context. Notes for a semiotic model of the constitution of experience.
Creators: name: Salvatore, Sergio
Publisher: name: Interacções
Year: 2013

description: The idea of the context as something outside the mind and as such affecting, framing, regulating, feeding it is unsatisfactory. In this work I propose an alternative view, based on a dynamic, dialogic, and semiotic model of the process of the constitution of the experience. Accordingly, the context is inherently linked to the mind. Mind and context cannot be conceived as separate entities interacting with each other. Rather, they are forms of description, on different spatial-temporal scales, of the same basic dynamics of semiotization. The self and context are the same thing – two sides of the same coin. In the second part of the paper I draw some implications from the theory of context proposed. I show how it entails the idea that, in the final analysis, the context is the ground of the sense of continuity and fullness of the self and the experience of the world. A rather radical change of perspective is involved here: it is not the ontological quality of the world that grounds the sense of continuity of the experience. Rather, it is the sense of continuity of the experience that feeds our embodied feeling of the ontological subsistence of the world.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Nowadays, the use of Rehabilitation Robots for stroke patients has been growing rapidly. However, there was a limited scope of using such Rehabilitation Robots for patients suffer from accidental physical fracture. Since the pain condition of such accidents need a critical treatment, Precise control of such robotic manipulator is mandatory. This thesis presents the design of Elbow-forearm rehabilitation robot by considering the pain level of the patient. It Includes the mechatronic design processes such as mechanical design, controller design, and Vertual prototyping using ADAMS-MATLAB Co-simulation. By reviewing different literature, the mechanical model is designed using concept generation by considering the Ergonomics and other aspects of the patient. Then the model is developed using Solidwork 2018. The pain level is estimated using three parameters i.e the patient general condition, the muscle strain, and the duration of exercise from the beginning of rehabilitation. Using these three input parameters, the manipulator’s desired range of motion has been determined using Fuzzy Logic System. The output of this fuzzy logic system would be an input to the main control system.
What does Nietzsche promote beyond good and evil in the unity of the self?
Creators: name: Lüleci, M. Hikmet
Publisher: name: Interacções
Year: 2013

description: This article examines the intrinsic relationship between Nietzsche’s conceptualisation of ‘beyond good and evil’ and his distinct view of the self. First, it focuses on Nietzsche’s genealogical analysis of morality, and by scrutinising this historical account of moral valuations the article then endeavours to present Nietzsche’s concrete philosophical standpoint on the fundamental necessity of value judgments which are constantly realised by individuals in their interactions with each other and with life. In this regard, it discusses the strong need to differentiate Nietzsche’s dismissal of the Judaeo-Christian scheme of morals, as good and evil, from his firm advocacy for creatively and only personally actualised valuations of good and bad. After delineating this essential distinction, the article portrays how Nietzsche’s view of the becoming self is interconnected with his proposal of the formation of moral valuations beyond good and evil. Finally, it conclusively elucidates how Nietzsche considers the self’s endless revaluation of morals beyond good and evil for the affirmation of life as its primary means to attain the unity of its selfhood, and it further illuminates his comprehension of this process as the prerequisite step for the self to realise the unity of its selfhood in its endless becoming.

A review using text analysis of peer-reviewed scenarios, visions and pathways (257 documents) is followed in order to assess the similarity between qualitative descriptions of drivers and impacts across groups of archetypes (3).
Self, sign, belief, and agency
Creators: name: Silva Filho, Waldomiro J.
name: Dazzani, Maria Virgínia
Publisher: name: Interacções
Year: 2013

description: This article presents a discussion of notions of self and belief from a semiotic approach that integrates theories of action. In spite of the semiotic nature of subjective experience and likewise of the incompleteness of our (self-) understanding, the weaknesses of our reason, the events of our lives, we reflect and act in the light of our beliefs and reflections. Even if the person can assume multiple positions in the same flow of communication, reflection is present at moments in which that person faces situations wherein inquiring him/herself about his/her belief becomes unavoidable for the conduct of the person’s life. To reflect is nothing but to expose one’s own attitudes under a certain angle, considering one’s own contingencies, changes, precariousness and uncertainty. From a semiotic point of view, to reflect is to interpret one’s own flow of signs in (but not in the idealistic sense, since it also involves emotions and feelings) in order to act.

description: In this study, several polyphenylacetylenes (PPAs) derivatives containing amino acid pendant groups were synthesized using a rhodium system catalyst (Rh(nbd)BPh4). The synthesized derivatives of PPAs included single chiral PPA with a single chiral center in the pendant groups and double chiral PPA' with two chiral centers in the pendant groups. The PPA and PPA' showed strong circular dichroism (CD) signals in the main chain absorption region of the UV-vis spectrum, while the monomer showed no CD signals. Furthermore, the PPA and PPA' with different chiral pendant groups showed different Cotton effects in the CD spectra. The results showed that these polymers existed in helical conformation, and the chiral center of the pendant groups affected the polymerization and helical structure of PPAs.
Self and dialogical multiplication
Creators: name: Guimarães, Danilo Silva
Publisher: name: Interacções
Year: 2013

description: Departing from a Lockean illustration in the context of the history of the notion of Self, this article presents a discussion on dialogism as an effort to overcome ethnocentric views of human psychological phenomena. Dialogical approaches in psychology focus tensions between different viewpoints in face of an object of social representation (Marková, 2006). It is assumed that the socio-cultural polyphony is internalized during one’s life trajectory (Hermans, Kempen and van Loon, 1991; Valsiner, 2007b). From a typical dialogical approach, the notion of dialogical multiplication is proposed addressing the creative cultural process in which multiple positions in face of an object is taken into account, but also multiple objects of reference are created under a semiotic construction. Finally, the article focus upon a clinical case formerly reported and analyzed by Ernst Boesch (1991), showing how dialogical multiplication is processed in the setting of psychotherapeutic I-other relationships and within the Self.

description: In this study, thermo and pH-sensitive multifunctional poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co- N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide, Poly(NIPAAm-co-MBA) - (N-4-amino-2-methylene-4-oxobutanoic acid, IAM) named as (PNM@IAM) core-shell microgels are synthesized by inverse microemulsion polymerization technique using two monomers, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and N-4-amino-2-methylene-4-oxobutanoic acid (IAM). The formation of the microgels are confirmed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra. The light transmittance study shows that the microgels prepared at different concentrations and pHs exhibit different physical properties. The phase transition temperature is increased with the addition of IAM. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis reveals that the swelling of the microgels at basic environment is due to the deprotonation of the weak acid groups in IAM. The metal ion chelating test shows that the core-shell PNM@IAM could effectively absorb metal ions in highly basic environment. The absorption and release of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution could be controlled by adjusting the pH of the reaction environment.

description: Statistical error Correction technique is the most accurate and widely used approach today, but for a language like Sindhi which is a low resourced language the trained corpora's are not available, so the statistical techniques are not possible at all. Instead a useful alternative would be to exploit various spelling error trends in Sindhi by using a Rule based approach. For designing such technique an essential prerequisite would be to study the various error patterns in a language. This pa per presents various studies of spelling error trends and their types in Sindhi Language. The research shows that the error trends common to all languages are also encountered in Sindhi but their do exist some error patters that are catered specifically to a Sindhi language.

It is based on concepts taken from Jean Piaget’s psychogenetic perspective concerning the notion of the object and the oneself, constructed at approximately 18 months of age and reconstructed at the representational level; the practical and symbolic sense-making of actions, and the relations between values as aspects of affectivity and the construction of knowledge. It also aims to illustrate the theoretical discussion presenting some data from investigation about children’s interpretation of some folk tales, which research into the choice of characters and their admirable aspects. This might provide empirical indicators about I-related sense-making and value configurations in their relations with intellectual structuring in psychological development.

description: Let (S, B) be the log pair associated with a projective completion of a smooth quasi-projective surface V . Under the assumption that the boundary B is irreducible, we obtain an algorithm to factorize any automorphism of V into a sequence of simple birational links. This factorization lies in the framework of the log Mori theory, with the property that all the blow-ups and contractions involved in the process occur on the boundary. When the completion S is smooth, we obtain a description of the automorphisms of V which is reminiscent of a presentation by generators and relations except that the "generators" are no longer automorphisms. They are instead isomorphisms between different models of V preserving certain rational fibrations. This description enables one to define normal forms of automorphisms and leads in particular to a natural generalization of the usual notions of affine and Jonquieres automorphisms of the affine plane. When V is affine, we show however that except for a finite family of surfaces including the affine plane, the group generated by these affine and Jonquieres automorphisms, which we call the tame group of V, is a proper subgroup of Aut(V).

description: Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference over discrete Markov random fields is a fundamental task spanning a wide spectrum of real-world applications, which is known to be NP-hard for general graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel semidefinite relaxation formulation (referred to as SDR) to estimate the MAP assignment. Algorithmically, we develop an accelerated variant of the alternating direction method of multipliers (referred to as SDPAD-LR) that can effectively exploit the special structure of the new relaxation. Encouragingly, the proposed procedure allows solving SDR for large-scale problems, e.g., problems on a grid graph comprising hundreds of thousands of variables with multiple states per node. Compared with prior SDP solvers, SDPAD-LR is capable of attaining comparable accuracy while exhibiting remarkably improved scalability, in contrast to the commonly held belief that semidefinite relaxation can only been applied on small-scale MRF problems. We have evaluated the performance of SDR on various benchmark datasets including OPENGM2 and PIC in terms of both the quality of the solutions and computation time. Experimental results demonstrate that for a broad class of problems, SDPAD-LR outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in producing better MAP assignment in an efficient manner.

description: In this study, initially synthesized magnetic nanoparticles modified with citrate ions (MNPs/m-MNPs) were entrapped in aluminum-carboxymethyl cellulose/dextran sulfate beads to form hybrid nanocomposites (m-MNPs-C/D0.5) using a simple two-pot method. Sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant was employed to develop a porous interconnected structure. The synergistic effect of the hybrid nanocomposites was studied for the parametric adsorption of methylene blue dye pollutant. The swelling ability of hybrid hydrogels was also studied for different solution pH. The results clearly indicated that equilibrium was reached faster at about 3 h for the m-MNPs-loaded magnetic beads (m-MNPs-C/D0.5), whereas at 6 h for the MNPs-loaded beads (MNPs0.4-C/D0.5) and the unloaded simple ones (MNPs0-C/D0.5). Experimental data modeling of adsorption kinetics and isotherms as well as thermodynamic study showed a good correlation with pseudo-second order kinetic and Langmuir models while the adsorption process on magnetic beads was exothermic. The maximum adsorption capacity for MNPs0-C/D0.5 and the optimized m-MNPs0.3-C/D0.5 hydrogel were 380 and 529 mg g−1, respectively. Furthermore, all hydrogels were perfectly regenerated and then reused for five adsorption-desorption cycles without apparent loss of stability that confirms their consideration as alternative and effective adsorbents for wastewater treatment. The manufactured beads were characterized by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-Ray, dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

description: Deep learning has been increasingly adopted in a multitude of settings. Yet, its strong performance relies on processing data during inference that is in-distribution with its training data. Deep learning input data during deployment, however, is not guaranteed to be in-distribution with the model's training data and can often times be distorted, either intentionally (e.g., by an adversary) or unintentionally (e.g., by a sensor defect), leading to significant performance degradations. In this dissertation, we develop algorithms for a variety of applications to improve the performance of deep learning models in the presence of distorted data. We begin by first designing feature engineering methodologies to increase classification performance in noisy environments. Here, we demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed algorithms on two target detection tasks and show that our framework outperforms a variety of state-of-the-art baselines. Next, we develop mitigation algorithms to improve the performance of deep learning in the presence of adversarial attacks and nonlinear signal distortions. In this context, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods on a variety of wireless communications tasks including automatic modulation classification, power allocation in massive MIMO networks, and signal detection. Finally, we develop an uncertainty quantification framework, which produces distributive estimates, as opposed to point predictions, from deep learning models in order to characterize samples with uncertain predictions as well as samples that are out-of-distribution from the model's training data. Our uncertainty quantification framework is carried out on a hyperspectral image target detection task as well as on counter unmanned aircraft systems (cUAS) model. Ultimately, our proposed algorithms improve the performance of deep learning in several environments in which the data during inference has been distorted to be out-of-distribution from the training data.
The architecture of self-in-motion: exploring young people’s construction of “becoming”

description: This study aims to analyze the process of semiotic regulation in youth transition to adulthood from the perspectives of cultural developmental psychology and dialogical self theory. The focus is on the transformations that occur in youth’s self-system configurations during a critical developmental period when they start to participate in the world of work. In this paper, we will advance the idea that semiotic regulation may lead to the construction of a future-oriented time perspective – and more specifically, to a new sense of becoming “professional” – through a cycle of production of innovation, leading to the construction of intransitive hierarchies of meaning and creating more flexibility in the self-system. We present a longitudinal case study of three young people who participated in a social project in Salvador, Bahia to illustrate the process. Data was collected through two rounds of in-depth interviews at ages18 (1st round) and 21 (2nd round) years. Analysis followed a mapping of positions and counter-positions, as well as emerging tensions and their resolution over time and in different spheres of life (i.e. work and family life). The idea is to show how negotiations of self-positions evolve and activate a mechanism of hierarchical integration and differentiation of meanings, in which flexible meanings are created that allow for the emergence of alternative life trajectories, building an architecture of the self-in-motion.

description: The spatiotemporal complexity induced by perturbed initial excitations through the development of modulational instability in nonlinear lattices with or without disorder, may lead to the formation of very high amplitude, localized transient structures that can be named as extreme events. We analyze the statistics of the appearance of these collective events in two different universal lattice models; a one-dimensional nonlinear model that interpolates between the integrable Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) equation and the nonintegrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, and a two-dimensional disordered DNLS equation. In both cases, extreme events arise in the form of discrete rogue waves as a result of nonlinear interaction and rapid coalescence between mobile discrete breathers. In the former model, we find power-law dependence of the wave amplitude distribution and significant probability for the appearance of extreme events close to the integrable limit. In the latter model, more importantly, we find a transition in the the return time probability of extreme events from exponential to power-law regime. Weak nonlinearity and moderate levels of disorder, corresponding to weak chaos regime, favour the appearance of extreme events in that case.
