Adaptive Resonance Associative Map: A Hierarchical ART System for Fast Stable Associative Learning

This paper introduces a new class of predictive ART architectures, called Adaptive Resonance Associative Map (ARAM) which performs rapid, yet stable heteroassociative learning in real time environment. ARAM can be visualized as two ART modules sharing a single recognition code layer. The unit for recruiting a recognition code is a pattern pair. Code stabilization is ensured by restricting coding to states where resonances are reached in both modules. Simulation results have shown that ARAM is capable of self-stabilizing association of arbitrary pattern pairs of arbitrary complexity appearing in arbitrary sequence by fast learning in real time environment. Due to the symmetrical network structure, associative recall can be performed in both directions.

Dificultades y problemas en la enseñanza de la lengua española con alumnos marroquíes.

Se analizan separadamente los elementos que influyen en el aprendizaje del español por parte de los alumnos marroquíes, para conseguir una mejor integración social, un mayor rendimiento escolar en el resto de las materias y una rebaja de la tensión en el ambiente de convivencia en los centros escolares que atienden niños inmigrantes. La hipótesis básica de trabajo, que se ha visto confirmada por los datos obtenidos, es la existencia de problemas en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la lengua española causados por: el contraste intercultural, la influencia de la lengua materna de los alumnos y su formación previa, las deficiencias de los materiales didácticos utilizados, la falta de formación específica del profesorado y su insuficiente competencia intercultural, la necesidad de esfuerzos de adaptación por el entorno social, familiar y educativo del alumno. Se realiza una toma de datos selectiva sobre las dificultades específicas que encuentran los alumnos en la adquisición de la lengua española, con la toma de muestras de la producción lingüística de marroquíes hablando el español, con ayuda de cuestionarios elaborados al efecto y a través de entrevistas personales con profesores, con responsables de los centros educativos, con alumnos y con expertos, se dotan de los materiales de trabajo necesarios para poder diagnosticar las raíces del problema y aplicar mejor los remedios oportunos. El profesorado no manifiesta un especial conocimiento ante preguntas que investigan el nivel de conocimientos sobre el Islam y sus tradiciones, la cultura árabe y sus costumbres, la vida social de Marruecos, el mapa lingüístico de Marruecos y sus distintas etnias, el sistema educativo marroquí, etc. Excepto contados casos, la mayoría del profesorado apenas conoce las raíces culturales de sus alumnos marroquíes, y el desconocimiento del árabe es generalizado. Destaca el alto porcentaje de profesorado que no sabe si se llevan a cabo programas de atención con el alumnado emigrante para determinar el nivel de competencia en español, el grado de conocimientos que trae de Marruecos, el dominio de su lengua materna, etc. Sea cual sea el nivel de conocimientos previos que aporte el niño, no se ve que influya directa y estructuradamente en la adaptación curricular que se le prepare al niño, sino que todo queda un poco al sentido común del profesor.

Riesgo cardiovascular de trabajadores de una empresa de hidrocarburos. 2014

Objetivo: Determinar el riesgo cardiovascular de los trabajadores de una empresa de hidrocarburos (E.H) mediante la aplicación de la escala Framingham REGICOR durante el año 2014. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo tipo corte transversal a partir de los registros de 700 trabajadores de una empresa de hidrocarburos que tenían una historia clínica laboral con información completa. Resultados: La edad promedio fue de 33,6 años (σ 9,1). Se encontró una prevalencia de HTA (1,4%), tabaquismo (5,7%), hábito de tomar licor (66,4%) y exceso de peso (61,6%). La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial y tabaquismo fue de 1.71% y 5.7% respectivamente, de hipercolesterolemia el 39,00%, de hipertrigliceridemia del 30,14% y el 20,00% de los trabajadores son obesos. El 3,00% (21) de los trabajadores fueron clasificados como de riesgo moderado de sufrir un evento isquémico o hemorrágico en un periodo de 10 años. A pesar que ningún trabajador fue clasificado como riesgo alto, se recomienda se realicen actividades tendientes a que a los trabajadores generen conciencia sobre los riesgos de desarrollar un evento cardiovascular si no se modifican los estilos de vida.

Capitalismo de estado e inovação: facetas da relação entre estado e iniciativa privada no desenvolvimento nacional

While countries managed to rapidly rise and recover economically, Brazilian social indicators have advanced at short pace in the last decades. Although millions of Brazilians have recently left poverty, Brazil still has a long way to go regarding its socioeconomic development. Circa one fifth of the population is still considered functionally illiterate, basic education has one of the poorest performances in the world, the country has no top-level universities nor produces technology or patents at relevant levels. This paper, at first, analyses how the interaction between government and private agents influenced Brazil’s industrial and economic development, identifying the existence of bonds based on the exchange of private interests that at great extension kept public policies from reaching goals of national interest – the so called crony capitalism. Secondly, the paper verifies how development policies based on the promotion of innovative companies and segments of the industry may positively impact broad socioeconomic development. The paper delves specifically into the cooperation between universities and industry as a development tool. Enterprises and universities, guided by their endogenous interests, may be combined for the structuring of a national innovation system. While universities are fundamentally interested in promoting knowledge accumulation, enterprises are willing to invest financial capital in universities in exchange for the economic exploitation of products developed within the academic environment and direct access to its human capital. Lastly, the paper identifies the legal and cultural barriers and advances of this mechanism in Brazil. It verifies that, notwithstanding the institutional advance promoted by the Law of Innovation to the university-enterprise cooperation in Brazil, the law wasn’t entirely capable of eliminating the legal uncertainty of this relationship and capturing in an efficient way the interests of the agents involved. Recently, federal law n. 12.863/2013 officially offered universities the option of bypassing problems related to public law by regulating support foundations, which conceives greater certainty and simplicity to the cooperation. There are, however, remaining uncertainties regarding the norms to be edited by the executive power, as well as conflicts of interest linked to the property rights over patents resulting from this kind of cooperation. The paper verifies, moreover, the existence of ideological resistance to this tool within universities, in such a way that it is unlikely that those relationships develop in a systematic way throughout the country without further engagement from the government and its executive and legislative bodies.

Ideais formativos de homem da emissora de Educação Rural de Caicó (Rio Grande do Norte, 1963-1978)

Under the aegis of the third diocese bishop of Caicó, Dom Manuel Tavares de Araújo, the Broadcasting Station of Rural Education of that city was founded, in May 1 s" 1963 with the ideal of being then an educational city, preferentially for youths and adults, rural meu and women of the arca of Seridó in Rio Grande do Norte state. In the year of its 40th birthday (2003), we began the investigation of that radio station choosing as study object its educational and formative programming, in the inc1usion of the first fifteen years of its existence (1963-1978), period that reaches the official inauguration of the Radio Station and the end of the bishopric of its fOllllder as Bishop of Caicó. Elucidating and showing Man's formative ideaIs longed by that Catholic educational broadcasting station, underlying to its radiophonic programming, such as the idealization for it reached, is the objective of this Doctorate work. It was considered pertinent to discover the guidelines that historically have permeated the Social Doçtrine of the Catholic Church addressing its aggiornamento, especially in what concerns to the employment of the modern ways of communication for the distance with the aim of evangelizing and educating. In arder to understand the ideaIs of the investigated educational Radio, we have delimited the research to the thematic Catholic Church, means of social communication and base education. In face of the study object and the aim to be reached it was appealed, methodologically, to the notion of cultural action present in Certeau (1995), and to the understanding of educational formation backgrounded fIam the modern thinkers that discuss it. Such frame references have allowed us to analyze in a wider spectrum tl)e programming broadcasted on the air by the sound wavys of that educ(itional Çatholic Radio, as well as, the very acts of cultural idealizations that has orientated it in its foundations. The thesis here defended is that. the Radio, at procJaiming itself as a broadcasting station of rural education directed preferably to the rural sertanejo countrymen, without neglecting its admitted ends, has surpassed them in its overall range. It was identified an articulate approach of its programmatic modules with the guid,elines emanateq from the Catholic Teaching about the use of the. means of social communication. At conceiving, establishin,g and executing an ec1ectic programmatic and div,ersified grating, the Rural Radio of Caicó has transcended to a strict human-Christian formation to request the development of the human, spiritual and cQrporaldimensions, jointly. With suchprogramming, it addressed to the seridoenses as real meu and women inserted in the "sertanej.o" environment with effective structural and existential problems of alI types, induding the hunger, the thirst, the syndical organization, the cQoperativism, the colIective modero work and the absence of universalizing school education. Its radiophonic transmissions, I}lled by the demands of an enlarged, open, dialogic and responsible communication, wheneIllbracing dedicated modules to religious and catechetical emissions, to the entertainment, to the radiojoumalism, to the country root culture, and to the school education of b se for the modality of the School and of the radiophonic classes, subsumed to ideaIs that longed for the formation of a multifaceted and pluridimensional sertanejo Man; of men and women that, without abjuring the Catholicism, were able to understand, to dialogued and to live together with the general demands of a society in progressive mutation, whose economical, social, cultural and educational demands it IDade themselves to be felt through the sertão potiguar of the Serido region, equal way of the intemationalized world

The statements on solvability, solution estimates, and well-posedness of these inclusions are derived.

Exá raú mboguatá guassú mohekauka yvy marãe‟y

Resumo: O presente estudo procura analisar sob as lentes da antropologia, a forma como as lideranças religiosas Mbya, cumprem os sonhos recebidos de Nhanderú Ete, iniciando a caminhada em direção a terra sem mal, a yvy marãe‟y; retornam ao local de ocupação antiga ou a indicada por Nhanderú, terra com a qual mantém laços históricos de luta. Os conflitos se intensificam com a demarcação/ampliação dos territórios ou de terra para o Guarani Mbya, como no caso do Pará, que andaram por cerca de cem anos até encontrar a terra onde exercitar o modo correto de se viver; o dissenso potencializa o etnocentrismo, a discriminação, o racismo, o estigma de ser índio, bugre, preguiçoso, alcoólatra, “raça inferior”. A pesquisa versa sobre o modo como "escolhem”, “adotam,” “retomam,” ressignificam, reterritorializam, guaranizam a terra onde pausaram a caminhada.

Who, When, and Why – Investigating Cultural Footprints at Early Iron Age Tel Kinrot

Ancient Kinneret (Tel Kinrot [Hebrew]; Tell el-‘Orēme [Arabic]) is located on a steep limestone hill on the northwestern shores of the Sea of Galilee (map ref. 2508.7529 [NIG]; 35.56/32.87 [WGS84]). The site, whose settlement history began sometime during the Pottery-Neolithic or the early Chalcolithic period, is emerging as one of the major sites for the study of urban life in the Southern Levant during the Early Iron Age (c. 1130–950 BCE). Its size, accessibility by major trade routes, and strategic location between different spheres of cultural and political influence make Tel Kinrot an ideal place for studying the interaction of various cultures on urban sites, as well as to approach questions of ethnicity and regionalism during one of the most debated periods in the history of the ancient Southern Levant.
