On Occurrence Of Plagiarism In Published Computer Science Thesis Reports At Swedish Universities

In recent years, it has been observed that software clones and plagiarism are becoming an increased threat for one?s creativity. Clones are the results of copying and using other?s work. According to the Merriam – Webster dictionary, “A clone is one that appears to be a copy of an original form”. It is synonym to duplicate. Clones lead to redundancy of codes, but not all redundant code is a clone.On basis of this background knowledge ,in order to safeguard one?s idea and to avoid intentional code duplication for pretending other?s work as if their owns, software clone detection should be emphasized more. The objective of this paper is to review the methods for clone detection and to apply those methods for finding the extent of plagiarism occurrence among the Swedish Universities in Master level computer science department and to analyze the results.The rest part of the paper, discuss about software plagiarism detection which employs data analysis technique and then statistical analysis of the results.Plagiarism is an act of stealing and passing off the idea?s and words of another person?s as one?s own. Using data analysis technique, samples(Master level computer Science thesis report) were taken from various Swedish universities and processed in Ephorus anti plagiarism software detection. Ephorus gives the percentage of plagiarism for each thesis document, from this results statistical analysis were carried out using Minitab Software.The results gives a very low percentage of Plagiarism extent among the Swedish universities, which concludes that Plagiarism is not a threat to Sweden?s standard of education in computer science.This paper is based on data analysis, intelligence techniques, EPHORUS software plagiarism detection tool and MINITAB statistical software analysis.

Ability of Gutta-Percha and Resilon to Fill Simulated Lateral Canals by Using the Obtura II System

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of Resilon (Resilon Research, LLC, North Branford, CT) and 2 types of gutta-percha to fill simulated lateral canals when using the Obtura II system (Model 823-700; Obtura Spartan, Fenton, MO). Methods: Forty-five human single-rooted teeth were selected and subjected to root canal preparation. After that, simulated lateral canals were made at 2, 5, and 8 mm from the working length (WL). The specimens were divided into 3 groups (n = 15) according to the filling material used: Obtura Flow 150 gutta-percha (Obtura flow), Odous Endo Flow gutta-percha (Odous; Odous de Deus Ind e Corn. Ltda Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil), and Resilon pellets (Resilon). Root canals were filled using the Obtura II system with the tip inserted to 3 mm from the WL. No sealer was used for root canal obturation. Specimens were subjected to a tooth decalcification and clearing method, and filling of the lateral canals was analyzed by digital radiography and photographs. The measurement of lateral canal filling was done using Image Tool software (UTHSCSA Image Tool for Windows version 3.0, San Antonio, TX). Data were statistically analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test at 5% significance. Results: All materials showed an ability to penetrate into the simulated lateral canals, with a minimum percentage of 73% in all thirds of the root canal. Conclusions: It was concluded that gutta-percha and Resilon are solid core materials with a lateral canal filling ability when used with the Obtura II system. (J Endod 2012;38:676-679)

DIFFERENT MEDIA, DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLLECTIVE WORK IN ONLINE CONTINUING TEACHER EDUCATION: WOULD YOU PASS THE PEN, PLEASE?

This paper presents some findings regarding the interaction between different computer interfaces and different types of collective work. We want to claim that design in online learning environments has a paramount role in the type of collaboration that happens among participants. In this paper, we report on data that illustrate how teachers can collaborate online in order to learn how to use geometry software in teaching activities. A virtual environment which allows that construction to be carried out collectively, even if the participants are not sharing a classroom, is the setting for the research presented in this paper.

Modelo cognitivo informacional de suporte a decisão aplicado à gestão de bacias urbanas

A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da escolha da área correspondente à bacia do igarapé Tucunduba, na zona urbana de Belém, capital do Estado do Pará, e é voltada para o desenvolvimento de uma estrutura cognitiva causal computacional capaz de identificar e qualificar os potenciais processos indicadores de conflitos gerados pelos usos múltiplos da água nesta bacia hidrográfica urbana, e com isto viabilizar decisões no âmbito das medidas estruturais e não estruturais. A utilização de um modelo qualitativo, utilizando metodologias informacionais, como o software Decision Explorer, na área de recursos hídricos, visa entender não somente os aspectos hidrológicos, mas também os aspectos sociais, indispensáveis na tomada de decisão diante de um cenário de conflitualidade quanto ao uso desses recursos. Este software é uma ferramenta para o desenvolvimento do mapeamento cognitivo, através do qual serão agrupados os conceitos unindo causas e efeitos representativos por meio de visualização codificada dos mesmos. A identificação e qualificação dos conflitos decorrentes dos usos múltiplos da água foram realizadas a partir de entrevistas com especialistas na área de gestão e saneamento, sendo posteriormente gerados os mapas cognitivos possibilitando assim a descrição do sistema escolhido e a identificação das possíveis soluções mediadoras para os conflitos ali identificados. O resultado obtido a partir das entrevistas foi agregado em um único mapa com o intuito de comprovar a hipótese formulada na pesquisa, por meio das ferramentas de análise, ou seja, auxiliar na identificação dos conflitos pelo uso múltiplo da água, a partir das medidas estruturais e não estruturais existentes (ou propostas), a fim de proporcionar ao gestor a tomador de decisão de forma mais eficaz na solução desses conflitos. Neste caso, poderíamos dizer que este grupo de construtos ilustra as principais medidas a serem observadas pelo tomador de decisão, a fim de solucionar os conflitos pelo uso múltiplo na bacia do Tucunduba, evidenciados pelos facilitadores através das entrevistas e mapas cognitivos individuais. As conclusões e recomendações estão contidas no capítulo final são obtidas não somente através dos resultados extraídos do software empregado, mas principalmente por maio da intervenção e interpretação dos dados pelo pesquisador, que obtém a partir dessas análises o entendimento do funcionamento do sistema, a identificação dos conflitos potenciais, suas causas e efeitos, assim como as medidas mitigadoras a serem sugeridas ao tomador de decisão. Estão incluídas neste capítulo sugestões visando o aprimoramento do modelo criado.

As práticas de ensino-aprendizagem de leitura no ensino fundamental II: do texto ao hipertexto

O presente trabalho versa sobre as práticas de ensino-aprendizagem da leitura em língua materna, tendo o computador como uma das principais ferramentas didáticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação fundamentada em pressupostos sociointeracionistas de língua, linguagem e leitura. Portanto, faz-se referência à perspectiva dialógica, aos gêneros discursivos - concepções teóricas e como objeto de ensino - à sequência didática, ao blog como suporte virtual e gênero relato de experiência em blog, assim como ao ensino da compreensão escrita em língua materna e ai computador como ferramenta didática. Esse aparato teórico é utilizado para analisar parte de uma sequência didática que priorizou o trabalho com a competência de leitura e escrita (sendo a primeira o foco de nossos estudos) desenvolvida com uma turma do ensino fundamental II do Município de Benevides/PA. E tenta verificar em que medida essas práticas, ao se utilizar da ferramenta didático-tecnológica computador, contribuem para o aprimoramento da compreensão escrita dos aprendentes.

A cultura corporal na mídia: possibilidades pedagógicas para a educação física escolar

The Physical education has as objective the students integration in the body movement culture, forming citizens to reframe different cultural aspects of the physical activity, enabling a more critical look. Currently selecting how the body movement culture has been widely approached by Mass Media it is detected a new pedagogical possibility. The several media equipment massively bomb (images, sounds and information) interfering on how the students interpret the reality, since they are exposed to these multiple information and at the same time are absent of a more critical look about what they receive. In this way, the objective of this work was to perform a research in the news/articles from the Jornal A Folha de São Paulo, that allows the development of classes based on the elements of body movement culture and apply them in a public school from Rio Claro-SP city, to detect possibilities and difficulties in the work with the media in the school environment. It employed a qualitative research. The data obtained in this study indicate that the media shows up as a good teaching tool for teaching physical education classes, since students found the classes to enriching the learning process, highlighting topics such as innovation and the closeness they had with the worked information. However, it is necessary to develop further studies to raise other possibilities as well as alternatives to deal with this new reality of the school context
