First Attempt with Maya

3d modeling and rendering is one of the thinks I really like. Talking about 3D Studio Max or Cinema 4D it was very easy to understand and I just get used to it, wile Maya is absolutely different. So I starting to learn it by myself and it seems to be very interesting. Here is the first render. It is an old silver Russian ruble.

Estudio sobre el impacto de las TIC en los estudiantes de la Universidad del Rosario

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), son una herramienta avanzada que le permiten a la sociedad informarse, comunicarse e interactuar virtualmente. Pues en la actualidad se consideran importantes ya que en un mundo globalizado se requiere actuar inmediatamente y las TIC son un medio que sirven para acortar distancias y a su vez garantizan una adecuada integración entre quienes las utilizan. Por esta y muchas otras razones es importante hacer un uso adecuado y promover dichas tecnologías con el fin de lograr un desarrollo social, ya que éstas generan conocimiento autónomo que permiten una evolución en la humanidad. Teniendo en cuenta que, las tecnologías de información y comunicación tal como lo dijo Kofi Annan, Secretario general de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas es el discurso inaugural de la primera fase de la WSIS, en Ginebra en el 2003 “las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación no son ninguna panacea ni fórmula mágica, pero pueden mejorar la vida de todos los habitantes del planeta. De que se disponen de herramientas para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio, de instrumentos que harán avanzar la causa de la libertad y la democracia, y de los medios necesarios para propagar los conocimientos y facilitar la comprensión mutua”(Organización para las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura Oficina en Quito, Ecuador, 2011, pág. 59).

WAIS seminar: Computer Science, the Revolution in Schools

Tuesday 22nd April 2014 Speaker(s): Sue Sentance Organiser: Leslie Carr Time: 22/04/2014 15:00-16:00 Location: B32/3077 File size: 698 Mb Abstract Until recently, "computing" education in English schools mainly focused on developing general Digital Literacy and Microsoft Office skills. As of this September, a new curriculum comes into effect that provides a strong emphasis on computation and programming. This change has generated some controversy in the news media (4-year-olds being forced to learn coding! boss of the government’s coding education initiative cannot code shock horror!!!!) and also some concern in the teaching profession (how can we possibly teach programming when none of the teachers know how to program)? Dr Sue Sentance will explain the work of Computing At School, a part of the BCS Academy, in galvanising universities to help teachers learn programming and other computing skills. Come along and find out about the new English Computing Revolution - How will your children and your schools be affected? - How will our University intake change? How will our degrees have to change? - What is happening to the national perception of Computer Science?

WAIS seminar: Provenance Analytics and Crowdsourcing

Wednesday 26th March 2014 Speaker(s): Dr Trung Dong Huynh Organiser: Dr Tim Chown Time: 26/03/2014 11:00-11:50 Location: B32/3077 File size: 349Mb Abstract Understanding the dynamics of a crowdsourcing application and controlling the quality of the data it generates is challenging, partly due to the lack of tools to do so. Provenance is a domain-independent means to represent what happened in an application, which can help verify data and infer their quality. It can also reveal the processes that led to a data item and the interactions of contributors with it. Provenance patterns can manifest real-world phenomena such as a significant interest in a piece of content, providing an indication of its quality, or even issues such as undesirable interactions within a group of contributors. In this talk, I will present an application-independent methodology for analysing provenance graphs, constructed from provenance records, to learn about such patterns and to use them for assessing some key properties of crowdsourced data, such as their quality, in an automated manner. I will also talk about CollabMap (www.collabmap.org), an online crowdsourcing mapping application, and show how we applied the approach above to the trust classification of data generated by the crowd, achieving an accuracy over 95%.

WAIS Seminar:Secure Multi-Party Computation for the Masses

Speaker(s): Prof. David Evans Organiser: Dr Tim Chown Time: 22/05/2014 10:45-11:45 Location: B53/4025 Abstract Secure multi-party computation enables two (or more) participants to reliably compute a function that depends on both of their inputs, without revealing those inputs to the other party or needing to trust any other party. It could enable two people who meet at a conference to learn who they known in common without revealing any of their other contacts, or allow a pharmaceutical company to determine the correct dosage of a medication based on a patient’s genome without compromising the privacy of the patient. A general solution to this problem has been known since Yao's pioneering work in the 1980s, but only recently has it become conceivable to use this approach in practice. Over the past few years, my research group has worked towards making secure computation practical for real applications. In this talk, I'll provide a brief introduction to secure computation protocols, describe the techniques we have developed to design scalable and efficient protocols, and share some recent results on improving efficiency and how secure computing applications are developed.

Estudio de factibilidad para realizar un plan exportador entre Colombia y España (Pamplona) para productos alimenticios de fabricacion autóctona Colombiana como el arequipe, herpos, obleas y el bocadillo

This investigation was made in order to develop an exporting plan of Colombian autochthonous Products target to Navarra, Spain, and then contribute with the economy and progress of Colombia, increasing the exports and the employment in the country. Thanks to the opportunity that one of the participants of this project had, it was possible to have a direct contact with the Pamplona citizens, investigating the different aspects of exporting to another country, analyzing the target, the market access, the product portfolio, and the consumer behaviour. To begin with this project, the first step was to develop a marketing research investigation, in order to determine the possibility of having a new segment of the Colombian autochthonous products, composed of Spanish and Colombian people. This was the first step to aim into a defined segment, and to learn about all the agreements and regulations between Colombian and Spain. These regulations are about food regulations, quality standards, and to remark, production chains, and distribution channels. Alter analyzing the international distribution chain to Spain, it will be found the market size, and the different enterprises that offer the same products to this country, that further more than competence, is a source of information to find the right way to sell this kind of products.

Work-family conflict, burnout and work engagement among teachers: The moderating effect of job and personal resources

The present study contributes to the literature on the Job Demands-resources model in the italian school context. the aim of this paper is to examine how the interaction between work-family conflict (i.e., a typical job demand) and opportunities to learn and to develop and self-efficacy (i.e., typical job and personal resources, respectively) affect the core dimensions of burnout (exhaustion and depersonalization) and work engagement (vigor and dedication). Hypotheses were tested with a cross-sectional design among 143 teachers of a junior high school in the north of Italy. Results of moderated multiple regression analysis partially supported the hypotheses as the opportunities to learn and to develop buffered against the aversive effects of work-family conflict on depersonalization, whereas self-efficacy moderated the relationship between work-family conflict and vigor. From a practical viewpoint, our findings suggest that opportunities to learn and to develop and self-efficacy are important re- sources that help teachers to reduce the negative effects related to work-family conflict.

The acquisition of expository uses of language

Objective: This study offers a description of the kinds of linguistic aids offered by adults while giving explanations to young children about different issues. During the midst of these conversations children have several opportunities to learn, not only from objects and events, but also from the utterances used to refer to them, learning how realities are named after, and in many cases, how to participate in them. Methodology: Through the analysis of eleven minutes of interaction between young child and his maternal grandparents. Results: Adults offers young child different discursive ways for helping him to add information, organize and clarify the topic that he is talking about. Conclusions: The results allow to identify different ways that the adults use for helping young child to improve his explanations.

Prolegómenos al problema de la filosofía política judía

El propósito de este ensayo radica en ubicar la filosofía política judía como un problema propiamente filosófico, tal como ha sido planteado por Leo Strauss. Esta tarea implica que descartemos tratar el asunto de la filosofía política, y específicamente su distintivo judío, como una subdisciplina de la filosofía o como parte de un manual de historia de la filosofía. La filosofía política judía, por el contrario, es el escenario donde pueden ser develadas las respuestas sobre los problemas que aquejan al pensamiento político contemporáneo. En ese sentido, resulta necesario abandonar el prejuicio moderno de considerar a las ideas del pasado inferiores respecto a las perspectivas de nuestro tiempo. La comprensión de la filosofía política judía exige que estemos preparados para aprender algo de los filósofos judíos, pero no podemos llegar a tal punto sin antes esbozar los términos en los que esa aproximación debería ser efectuada.---Prolegomena to the problem of the jewish political philosophyThe purpose of this paper is to locate the Jewish political philosophy as a philosophical problem itself, as has been raised by Leo Strauss. This task requires that the Jewish political philosophy is not considered a subdiscipline of philosophy or as part of a history of philosophy’s handbook. Jewish political philosophy, by contrast, is the scene where the answers on the problems facing the contemporary political thought can be unveiled. In this sense, it is necessary to abandon the modern prejudice of considering the past ideas lower about the prospects of our time. The understanding of Jewish political philosophy requires that we are prepared to learn from the Jewish philosophers, but we can not go that far without outlining the terms in which this approach should be made.Key words: political philosophy, Jewish philosophy, philosophy of history---Prolegômenos ao problema da filosofia política judaicaO Propósito deste ensaio radica em localizar a política judaica como um problema propriamente filosófico, tal como tem sido exposto por Leo Strauss.
