Afrodescendência e metodologias inventivas para implementação da lei n 10.639/03 na escola: a criação de jovens da pedagogia

Este artigo objetiva problematizar a afrodescendência na escola, ao criar, com graduandos/as do Curso de Pedagogia, metodologias para a discussão e implementação da Lei nº 10.639/03, reconhecendo e valorizando a cultura de crianças, adolescentes e jovens afrodescendentes da Educação Básica. A metodologia utilizada foi o Círculo de Cultura Sociopoético (CCS) com o tema gerador “afrodescendência na escola”. Os resultados realçaram dificuldades de pensar a inclusão dos estudos sobre o referido tema e as estratégias metodológicas criadas para romper com dificuldades. Entretanto, a pesquisa mostrou ser possível romper os preconceitos e a exclusão por meio da criação e aplicação de metodologias sensíveis que valorizem as escritas de si, tornando-os reconhecidos, integrados, participativos, a tal ponto, que se sintam pertencentes. Os problemas identificados na pesquisa foram o trabalho individual e solitário do/a professor/a, neste caso, a necessidade coletiva e comunitária na prática educativa com a instituição de uma ética ubuntu na escola.

“WRITING DOWN OF HADITHS IN THE VII-VIII CENTURIES: APPROACHES AND METHODS”

The article is devoted to the study of history of writing of hadiths in the VII-VIII centuries and methodological approaches and methods used in this process by scholars of the Science of Hadith. The process of writing and compiling of hadith collections is studied historically dividing into the stages of Sahabah (companions), Tabi`un (successors) and Tabi` al-Tabi`un (successors of Tabi`un). The specific features, used approaches and methods of these stages are analyzed and explained based on sources. The article also covers various political and social factors that have accelerated the process of writing of hadiths. The article examines the long process from the first stage of the history of written collection of hadiths to the creation of the main collections of hadith in the ninth century, which is recognized as the golden age of hadith science.

Data on the Egyptian Collection of the National Museum of Transylvanian History. The contribution of Baron Balázs Orbán to the creation of the Egyptian Collection of the Cluj History Museum

"This paper aims to highlight the contribution of the famous Hungarian historian and ethnographer of Szekler origin Balázs Orbán, born in the village of Polonița, near Odorheiu Secuiesc, to the establishment of the Egyptian Collection of the Cluj History Museum, in the second half of the nineteenth century. Baron Balázs Orbán is best known for his main work, A Székelyföld leírása, published between 1868 and 1873. Its six volumes represent a genuine encyclopedia of the region. Balázs Orbán was a prominent intellectual of the era in which he lived – he was a writer, historian, ethnographer, a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy (since 1887), politician in the Independent Party, and a participant in the 1848 revolution. He had an adventurous life, reminiscent of the romantic novels of Mór Jókai or Victor Hugo. To the latter Balázs Orbán was linked by a beautiful friendship, largely due to their shared belief in the liberal and democratic ideas of the era in which they lived. This paper aims to present the years spent by Balázs Orbán in the Orient, as well as the cultural fruits of this period. In his youth, at the age of only 19, the future Hungarian scholar made a trip for several months to the Near East. On this occasion, he acquired a series of valuable Oriental artifacts, which he later donated to the Transylvanian Museum Society, the prestigious Transylvanian cultural institution founded by Count Imre Mikó in 1859, whose collections are preserved today in the heritage of the National Museum of Transylvanian History in Cluj‑Napoca."

Building an archaeological data repository: a digital library and digital humanities collaboration at the University of South Florida

Digital Humanities projects have shown to be projects of collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation. As digital humanities researchers are creating and discovering new methods of collaboration, libraries have been reflecting on how they can best support and nurture such collaborations. This paper aims to demonstrate a practical case of what the University of South Florida Digital Collections has done to support the accessibility and discoverability of a new archaeological dataset in collaboration with a Digital Humanities research facility on campus. This paper is a case study to showcase the process employed by the University of South Florida Libraries in its partnership with an on campus digital humanities institute in the creation of a new digital collection. The partnership resulted in a prototype archaeological data repository named the Andean Archaeological Data Project, and a digital collection that was successfully housed in the existing digital library platform, through which public access to the material is natively enabled through the library web pages. The authors have come to the conclusion that with the proper infrastructure and the appropriate skill sets, a digital library can be a long-term platform for dynamic digital humanities research data.

Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Punk Alternative Publications: Challenges to Fugitive Materials

ABSTRACT Punk scenes are complex and heterogeneous. They have always been prolific producers of physical documentation of their attitudes, beliefs, and actions. At the same time, these scenes have often existed on the margins, which has led to the creation of fugitive collections of self-documentation. In Slavic, East European and Eurasian (SEEE) countries, this documentation has historically taken the form of non-traditional music releases, zines, and samizdat. Due to the often-illegal nature of these creations, the materials did not find immediate homes in official repositories, and the fugitive materials experienced a covert diaspora initially across Eastern Europe and later across multiple continents. The author provides a case study of the current state of collections of non-traditionally published SEEE punk materials to highlight the challenges that face access and use of marginalized, diasporic collections. This paper provides a definition of punk in a SEEE context; offers a literature review to illustrate the discourse and collections that address Slavic and East European punk materials; draws connections between SEEE punk alternative publications and broader marginalized fugitive collections; describes obstacles faced by collections of Slavic punk materials; and concludes by way of recommendations for addressing these challenges in order to improve access and use.

ПРОЕКТ СОЗДАНИЯ БИОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО 3D‑МУЗЕЯ ГРИБОВ-МАКРОМИЦЕТОВ РЕСПУБЛИКИ БАШКОРТОСТАН С ЦЕЛЬЮ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ И СОХРАНЕНИЯ МИКОБИОТЫ

Virtual museums are becoming more popular and accessible. After all, this is an opportunity to expand your horizons and touch the "beautiful" without leaving home. In most cases, virtual museums are created on the basis of real ones. Collections are being digitized and expositions are being created. In our work, we want to pay attention to the importance of the virtual museum for biology in general and for mycology in particular. Species diversity is an important and non-renewable resource. Creating 3D models of fungi-macromycetes solves several problems: creating a new format of biological resources that is convenient for studying and sharing with other scientific institutions; ease of use in the educational process in educational institutions of different levels; preserving the biodiversity of the region, as the anthropogenic load is reduced (annual collection and creation of collections); the possibility of digitizing rare and endangered species.

It is within this premise that the present work aims to enhance value proposition for a business model centered on automobile e-commerce. This purpose unfolds in an exploratory research on approaches, methodologies, and tools of creativity, as well as the application of Cristiano Alves' Creative Framework in this business model. The analysis of the results signals improvements in solutions for car e-commerce. With this, it is concluded that collective creativity is efficient in the discovery of potentially innovative ideas.

Креативность сквозь призму аксиологии

Interest in creativity as a subject of research has been growing exponentially since the second half of the 20th century in all areas of human history. A wide range of both domestic and foreign studies allows authors to assert that creativity is a personality trait, inherent to one degree or another. Whereas the development of such trait becomes an urgent necessity in the new reality. The entire evolutionary process of the social development illustrates its dependence on personal and collective creativity. The aim of this research is to study the phenomenon of creativity through the perspective of axiology, i.e. the science of values. Axiology allows us to consider the realities of the modern world from the perspective of not only external factors, circumstances and situations, but also of deep value foundations. Creativity has been studied quite deeply from the point of view of psychology: the special characteristics of a creative person, stages of the creative process, the relationship between creative and critical thinking, creativity and intelligence. Some psychologists emphasize motivation, creative skills, interdisciplinary knowledge, and the creative environment as the main components that contribute to the development of creativity. The authors of the article argue that values and value orientations towards cognition, creativity, self-realization and self-expression are the drivers of creativity. In a broad sense, values as a matrix of culture determine the attitude of society to creativity, to the development of creativity of the individual and the creative class, and to how economically successful a given society will be. Since innovation and entrepreneurship are embodied creativity. Thus, the study of creativity from the perspective of axiology combines the need for a deep study of this phenomenon and the subjective significance of creativity in the context of new realities

Management of walnut genetic resources to improve the efficiency of the breeding process in the South of Russia

Walnut is one of the main nut crops of world importance. Conservation and efficient use of genetic resources is one of the fundamental principles of breeding work. The most efficient way to work with genetic resources is to create core collections that include most of the genetic diversity with the least number of samples in the collection. There are several different approaches to the creation of core collections, differing in the criteria for the selection of characters and the number of samples in the collection. This article provides an overview of the most effective approaches to creating walnut core collections in southern Russia. Of course, both genetic and phenotypic diversity should be taken into account. Microsatellite markers or SNPs may be the most appropriate tools for assessing genetic diversity, depending on the objectives and sample sizes. The article also provides an overview of the most valuable traits from the point of view of walnut breeding in the North Caucasus.

Andy Warhol's Pantry Tokens

This essay announces the creation of the Warhol's Pantry Tokens collection of NFTs. This collection of 60 NFTs corresponds to 60 works of art I created. Ownership of one of the NFTs in this collection constitutes ownership of the unique copy of the work to which it corresponds. The unique copies are stored in the Brian L. Frye Shoebox Art Freehold at an undisclosed location. The owner of an NFT can redeem the NFT for the copy at any time, by burning the NFT and sending me their mailing address. Each work consists of an image drawn by Andy Warhol and printed in Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cookbook (1961), which I cut out of a copy of the cookbook and glued to a card. I created a PDF scan of each work for the purpose of illustrating the sale of the NFT to which it corresponds. Ownership of an NFT from this collection does not constitute ownership of copyright in the drawing represented in the work corresponding to the NFT. This essay reflects on the copyright problems presented by the creation and sale of these NFTs. For better or worse, I believe no infringement has occurred. Do you agree?

Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of Surface Alterations of Stone Tools Made of Raw Materials from the Carpathian Basin

Wear analysis performed on archaeological stone tools from prehistory aims at characterizing their surface alterations in order to determine their functions and describe past human technical behaviors. However, the reliability and repeatability of the method is questioned and there is a major difficulty facing scientists analyzing wear, which is related to proposing quantified and repeatable analyses and interpretations of taphonomic and anthropogenic (related to manufacture and use) evidence. We propose the creation of an experimental reference collection of surface alterations focused primarily on selected stone types commonly found at Hungarian archaeological sites. This collection will allow the characterization of the topographic signatures of manufacture, use, and taphonomic processes. The qualitative (through observation using optical microscopy) and quantitative (through surface measurements using confocal microscopy) analyses will aim at examining: 1) the variability of surface alterations, 2) protocols that can allow the identification and characterization of surface topographic signatures, and 3) the appropriate metrological setups that will allow for each of the alteration processes to be differentiated. We present here the results of the preliminary experiments, which involved flakes for bone and reed processing made of six different raw materials. It has been confirmed that evidence of use can be identified on each one of them. Beyond the presentation of the first images from the reference collection, we briefly present the future phases of the project.

Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska oblasts plant genetic resources

Aim: collection of local wild and cultural gene pool accessions of the plants adapted to the conditions of Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska oblasts of Ukraine for selection from them ones valuable on economic and biological traits, including them in the plant-breeding and research programs and maintenance in collections of the National Plant Genebank of Ukraine. Results and Discussion. There is carried out expeditionary inspection of the districts of Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska regions of Ukraine. 473 gene pool accessions of cultural plants and wild relative forms adapted to the conditions of this region related to 165 botanical species are collected. 274 herbarium sheets of 53 plant species are prepared. Natural reserves and objects of the naturally-protected fund are explored for seed collection of rare and regionally rare species, and also vegetation of burial mounds, ravines, beams, slopes, undisturbed steppe areas. Points for the establishment of in situ conservation reserves have been identified. The collected material will ensure the expansion of the genetic base of existing and the creation of new genetic resources collections of field, medicinal and other crops due to samples characterized by adaptability to stress abiotic and resistance to biotic factors, productivity, product quality. Conclusions. 473 seeds packages and planting material units of gene pool accessions are collected during the expedition and transferred to research institutions for the study. The results of the expedition showed the promise of continuing expeditionary surveys and collecting gene pool samples in Ukraine. To do this, it is necessary to equip the NCPGRU with a specialized vehicle and provide for a special article to finance expeditions.

Sentiment Analysis on Social Media for Albanian Language

The recent advances in technology and particularly, the rising prominence of social media platforms have made it possible to express our emotions through electronic means, which have led to the creation of large collections of unstructured textual documents. These collections can be saved and potentially studied with many modern technologies like Text Mining, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to obtain new knowledge from them. Sentiment Analysis is a field of Natural Language Processing that focuses on extracting sentiment from text. Moreover, as a Text Mining technique expresses the ability to track the subjective opinion of a text produced by an entity. The purpose of this paper is to test and review different approaches in Sentiment Analysis for messages in the Albanian language found on Twitter. Additionally, we compare the results among different methods and note the challenges that arise while finally we suggest future directions for further research. This paper’s research was conducted as follows: the data was pre-processed, before being converted from text to vector representation using a range of feature extraction techniques such as Bag-of-Words, TF-IDF, Word2Vec, and Glove. We study the performance of sentiment classification techniques from three main approaches: traditional machine learning, lexicon-based and deep learning approach. For model evaluation, since they were trained in unbalanced data, we used not only classical evaluation criteria such as Accuracy, Specificity, Precision, and Recall but more appropriate criteria such as F-measure, Balanced Accuracy, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC). According to all these criteria, our experiments revealed that LSTM based RNN with Glove as a feature extraction technique provides the best results with F-score = 87.8%, followed by Logistic Regression.

The Artist and his City. New York in the Works of Tadeusz Mysłowski

Tadeusz Myslowski, born in 1943 in the village of Piotrkow near Lublin, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, left Poland in 1969. His first destination was Paris and then, in 1970, the United States. From that moment on, he has been living and working in New York, a city that has become an inexhaustible source of inspiration for him. Fascinated by the urban layout of Manhattan, its astounding network of streets, he abandoned traditional painting techniques in favour of a black-and-white series of drawings, prints, collages, photomontages and installations, created in the spirit of geometric abstraction and Constructivism, the art trends that were particularly dear to him. His works display transformed portions of the architectural structures of this extraordinary city with which the artist conducts a never-ending formal discourse. Myslowski has always been supported by his wife Irena Hochman, an art historian by education, owner of a notable art gallery and an important figure in the American art market. Tadeusz and Irena share not only a passionate relationship, but also a great collector's passion, which has resulted in the creation of an interesting collection of works by Polish, European and American artists who were primarily active in the 20th century. These are exclusively works on paper, mainly prints made using all possible graphic techniques. In 2017, the couple donated a part of the collection to the then Lublin Museum (now the National Museum in Lublin) and placed some of the artworks on a long-term loanśc dokonania zmian w kulturze.

“Autumn Thoughts”: Shared Images, Shifting Phrases, and Promiscuous Poetics

The famous short sanqu lyric known as “Autumn Thoughts” to the tune “Tianjing sha” has been attributed to Ma Zhiyuan since the late sixteenth century. Despite the skepticism of a long list of important qu scholars from the fourteenth to the twentieth century, this attribution is still repeated in textbooks from grade school to doctoral programs. A careful examination of extant versions from 1309 onward shows some degree of difference, from narrow to wide, dependent on contextual use. Phrases from the lyric may also be found as early as the late twelfth century. By carefully investigating these sources and the way in which the tonal pattern of “Tianjing sha” is expanded, contracted, and exploited in other sources, we can see that the use of the famous phrases making up the poem occurs when context and rhyme come together. This leads one to doubt whether attributable authorship of the lyric is possible, or if it is simply the use of nearly cliché phrases that just happened to combine in exactly the perfect order. This would fit with what we know about the performance tradition and about its tendency for collective and anonymous creation through accretion.
