Recursos Educacionais Abertos (REA) nas teses e dissertações brasileiras entre 2002 e 2019

An analysis of the research scenario on integrating OER in the teaching-learning process is systematized. We analyzed 118 pieces of research produced in Brazil from 2002 to 2019, composing a set of 25 dissertations, 57 academic theses, and 36 professional theses. The texts were extracted from the databases of the CAPES Catalog of Dissertations and Theses and the Digital Library of Dissertations and Theses (BDTD, from the Portuguese Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações). The scenario design started from the aggregation of results focusing on a) the temporal evolution of the research, b) the localities, c) the administrative dependence of the Teaching Institutions, and d) the area of knowledge. Complementarily, the findings from the four guiding questions made it possible to conclude that there were few pieces of research investigating the integration of OER in the teaching-learning process, especially within the context of Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) and Graduate School. Moreover, the study revealed that, among the 5Rs of OER, the practice most promoted by the pieces of research within the scope of the teaching-learning process was reuse, which is directly associated with retain and redistribute. This indicates the need to expand and strengthen the continuing education actions aimed at the practice of the other two Rs: revise and remix. Finally, the study pointed out the need for research that performs articulations with educational public policies so that they may generate creation and sharing, in addition to consolidating the international open education movement.

New insights from an emplacement model for the Santa Eulália Plutonic Complex (SW Iberian Peninsula)

The Santa Eulália Plutonic Complex is formed by two main granites: G0 and G1. The G0 granite hosts metasedimentary carbonate and pelitic rocks (roof pendants) and elongated masses of mafic–intermediate rocks (the M-group). The host rocks form a diverse sequence of igneous, metasedimentary and metamorphic rocks. The study area is constrained by Variscan structures formed in a transpressional/transtensional sinistral tectonic regime (the Tomar–Badajoz–Córdoba sinistral shear zone) and is cut by the Alter do Chão and Assumar faults. The geological complexity of the area makes it difficult to determine the emplacement mechanism of the pluton. We propose a model for the ascent and emplacement of the pluton that can also be applied to similar post-collision Variscan granites. The gravity anomalies suggest that the pluton is slightly asymmetrical and extends to the SSE beneath the host rocks; its main root is >8 km thick in its deepest areas. The available radiometric data for an extended area embracing several regional plutons suggest a west–east magmatic alignment. The Variscan structures probably formed efficient crustal discontinuities enabling the generation and ascent of magma. Our model involves a west–east magmatic axis for magma spreading along extensional fractures (T-fractures) related to the Tomar–Badajoz–Córdoba shear zone. The opening movement along these fractures created divergent forces that allowed the ascent and emplacement of the plutonic rocks. The importance of these fractures is represented well by outcrops of porphyritic biotite granites (the Ervedal, Fronteira and G1 granites).

Open science and data sharing in trauma research: Developing a trauma-informed protocol for archiving sensitive qualitative data.

The open science movement seeks to make research more transparent, and to that end, researchers are increasingly expected or required to archive their data in national repositories. In qualitative trauma research, data sharing could compromise participants' safety, privacy, and confidentiality because narrative data can be more difficult to de-identify fully. There is little guidance in the traumatology literature regarding how to discuss data-sharing requirements with participants during the informed consent process. Within a larger research project in which we interviewed assault survivors, we developed and evaluated a protocol for informed consent for qualitative data sharing and engaging participants in data de-identification. We conducted qualitative interviews with N = 32 adult sexual assault survivors regarding (a) how to conduct informed consent for data sharing, (b) whether participants should have input on sharing their data, and (c) whether they wanted to redact information from their transcripts prior to archiving. No potential participants declined participation after learning about the archiving mandate. Survivors indicated that they wanted input on archiving because the interview is their story of trauma and abuse and it would be disempowering not to have control over how this information was shared and disseminated. Survivors also wanted input on this process to help guard their privacy, confidentiality, and safety. None of the participants elected to redact substantive data prior to archiving. Engaging participants in the archiving process is a feasible practice that is important and empowering for trauma survivors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

The Detection of Students' Abnormal Behavior in Online Exams Using Facial Landmarks in Conjunction with the YOLOv5 Models

The popularity of massive open online courses (MOOCs) and other forms of distance learning has increased recently. Schools and institutions are going online to serve their students better. Exam integrity depends on the effectiveness of proctoring remote online exams. Proctoring services powered by computer vision and artificial intelligence have also gained popularity. Such systems should employ methods to guarantee an impartial examination. This research demonstrates how to create a multi-model computer vision system to identify and prevent abnormal student behaviour during exams. The system uses You only look once (YOLO) models and Dlib facial landmarks to recognize faces, objects, eye, hand, and mouth opening movement, gaze sideways, and use a mobile phone. Our approach offered a model that analyzes student behaviour using a deep neural network model learned from our newly produced dataset" StudentBehavioralDS." On the generated dataset, the "Behavioral Detection Model" had a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.87, while the "Mouth Opening Detection Model" and "Person and Objects Detection Model" had accuracies of 0.95 and 0.96, respectively. This work demonstrates good detection accuracy. We conclude that using computer vision and deep learning models trained on a private dataset, our idea provides a range of techniques to spot odd student behaviour during online tests.

How Data Papers Present a Unique Contribution To Open Research In The Humanities And Social Sciences

The open research movement and initiatives like the FAIR principles have been critical in establishing the importance of data in research, particularly within the sciences. Alongside the sciences, attention to openly available data in Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) research has gradually grown. This growth is largely attributed to the increased availability of digital collections, the development of new data-intensive methods, an increasingly solid infrastructure, increased pressure from funders, the requirement of data management plans for preservation purposes, and the involvement of research libraries in data curation. In this context, attention to how data is produced, how it is openly and transparently shared, and how it can be reused has generated great interest, accompanied by an inevitable need for reputable data sharing outlets. One such outlet is the data paper – a peer-reviewed publication that focuses on describing a curated dataset. Data papers can be shared in traditional research journals as one subtype of article publication, or, more recently, in data journals which are dedicated to the publication of data papers. This presentation focuses on the work done by the open access Journal of Open Humanities (JOHD) in promoting the practice of publishing data papers with their accompanying open access datasets. JOHD was established with Ubiquity Press in 2015 to promote awareness, use, and reuse of humanities data. JOHD data papers promote the comprehensive description of how a dataset was assembled, where it may be accessed, and any crucial context including the research questions that framed the data gathering, including limitations to the original methods or scope of sources included. JOHD data papers suggest potential future reuses of data, which recent analytics seem to suggest has helped increase the visibility of datasets, and therefore their research impact (Marongiu et al., forthcoming; McGillivray et al., 2022). In addition, an overview of the three key elements (the “golden triangle”) that assess the impact of open research efforts as represented by different research outputs (datasets, data papers and research papers) will be presented, along with proposed initiatives for linking these. In doing so, we aim to (a) find a programmatic way to identify these links by extracting information from available metadata of datasets and verifying their accuracy, and (b) create a “ground truth” in a manual and/or machine-assisted way which would enable the training of more sophisticated NLP-based methods as a next step. We hope to illustrate the importance of including data papers into the research conversation given that they present a unique contribution to addressing global challenges within the open research arena.

An inclusive paradigm to study mu-rhythm properties

Studying mu-rhythm in developmental disorders is crucial for identifying the origin of motor and social malfunctioning. However, the commonly used mu-rhythm experimental protocol, that requires following instructions, is challenging for children with motor and cognitive deficits. Here we present an inclusive experimental procedure that contains passive hand movement, closed and open eyes and hand movement observation and examine properties of EEG mu-rhythm obtained in this paradigm in 51 typically developing children and adults aged from 4 to 31 years. The independent component analysis (ICA) was used to separate occipital alpha- and mu-rhythm components and showed better performance than the channel-wise analysis. The identified mu-rhythm ICA components were localized above the left and right sensorimotor cortex, demonstrating suppression both to passive hand movement and hand movement observation and no difference in power between closed- and open-eye conditions. No interhemispheric differences were observed. The alpha-rhythm ICA components were localized in occipital regions and demonstrate characteristic suppression to open-eye conditions. The mu-rhythm frequency of peak suppression to passive hand movement as well as the amount of suppression increased with age. The beta-band mu-rhythm activity, while being less pronounced, was also suppressed both during passive hand movement and hand movement observation, while to a lesser degree than alpha-band mu during passive hand movement. Thus, we confirmed the classical properties of mu-rhythm and for the first time showed the developmental trajectory of mu-rhythm properties obtained during passive hand movement. The proposed experimental protocol and pipeline can be used further in studies of the mu-rhythm in challenging populations.

The Platformisation of Scholarly Information and How to Fight It

The commercial control of academic publishing and research infrastructure by a few oligopolistic companies has crippled the development of open access movement and interfered with the ethical principles of information access and privacy. In recent years, vertical integration of publishers and other service providers throughout the research cycle has led to platformisation, characterized by datafication and commodification similar to practices on social media platforms. Scholarly publications are treated as user-generated contents for data tracking and surveillance, resulting in profitable data products and services for research assessment, benchmarking and reporting. Meanwhile, the bibliodiversity and equal open access are denied by the dominant gold open access model and the privacy of researchers is being compromised by spyware embedded in research infrastructure. This article proposes four actions to fight the platformisation of scholarly information after a brief overview of the market of academic journals and research assessments and their implications for bibliodiversity, information access, and privacy: (1) Educate researchers about commercial publishers and APCs; (2) Allocate library budget to support scholar-led and library publishing; (3) Engage in the development of public research infrastructures and copyright reform; and (4) Advocate for research assessment reforms.

Where is open data in the Open Data Directive?

The 2019 Directive on Open Data and the Re-use of Public Sector Information draws together two traditions in ensuring proactive access to government data. On one hand, it embraces the concept of ‘open data’, a concept rooted in government accountability and transparency for citizen participation. On the other hand, the directive covers the re-use of non-sensitive public sector information, which is deemed crucial for the internal market and realisation of the European data economy. Indeed, the directive itself is a further iteration of an earlier 2003 directive on the re-use of public sector information. Yet, despite the appearance of a seamless fusion of the different concepts, it is important to interrogate critically to what extent open data is actually incorporated. While the shorthand title for directive the Open Data Directive (ODD), there is a risk that much of the open data movement’s demands fall outside of its purview. Hence, the present paper undertakes a careful analysis of the ODD. It asks firstly, how does the directive align with and diverge from the rationale and requirements of the movement for open data? And secondly, what are the implications of this for citizen participation? The findings show that the original largely technical principles of open data are somewhat respected and incorporated into the ODD but are disjointed from the rationale behind them. References to citizen participation in the directive and supporting documentation, while welcome, risk being little more than window dressing.

Opening up mental health research.

Open science provides a compelling framework for accelerating global collaborations and enabling discoveries to understand and treat mental health disorders. Herein, we discuss the advantages and obstacles to adopting open science in mental health research, considering the particularities of sensitive and diverse data types, the potential of co-designing projects with research participants and the opportunity of amplifying open science by integration with mental health care. We present a practical example of how this landscape may be navigated to adopt open science across an entire research centre, in 5 steps, namely leadership committing to open science; finding models, resources and allies; identifying needs; defining open science principles; and putting principles into practice. We derive lessons learned that can be built upon by researchers and research organizations joining the open science movement in mental health.

OpenMindat: Open and FAIR mineralogy data from the Mindat database

AbstractThe open data movement has brought revolutionary changes to the field of mineralogy. With a growing number of datasets made available through community efforts, researchers are now able to explore new scientific topics such as mineral ecology, mineral evolution and new classification systems. The recent results have shown that the necessary open data coupled with data science skills and expertise in mineralogy will lead to impressive new scientific discoveries. Yet, feedback from researchers also reflects the needs for better FAIRness of open data, that is, findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable for both humans and machines. In this paper, we present our recent work on building the open data service of Mindat, one of the largest mineral databases in the world. In the past years, Mindat has supported numerous scientific studies but a machine interface for data access has never been established. Through the OpenMindat project we have achieved solid progress on two activities: (1) cleanse data and improve data quality, and (2) build a data sharing platform and establish a machine interface for data query and access. We hope OpenMindat will help address the increasing data needs from researchers in mineralogy for an internationally recognized authoritative database that is fully compliant with the FAIR guiding principles and helps accelerate scientific discoveries.

Solar-Radiation-Dependent Anisotropic Thermal Management Device with Net Zero Energy from 4D Printing Shape Memory Polymer-Based Composites.

Reports have pointed out that nearly 50% of the global total energy demand for buildings is used for daily heating and cooling. Therefore, it is very important to develop various high-performance thermal management techniques with low energy consumption. In this work, we present an intelligent shape memory polymers (SMPs)-based device with programmable anisotropic thermal conductivity fabricated by a 4D printing technique to assist in thermal management with net zero energy. Highly thermal conductive BN nanosheets were textured in a poly (lactic acid) (PLA) matrix by 3D printing, and the printed composites lamina exhibited significant anisotropic thermal conductivity. The direction of heat flow in devices could be switched programmably, accompanying the light-activated deformation controlled by grayscale of composite, which was demonstrated by the "windows" arrays composed of in-plate thermal conductivity facets and SMPs-based hinge joints, achieving the programmable movement of opening and closing under different light conditions. Based on solar radiation-dependent SMPs coupled with the adjustment of heat flow along anisotropic thermal conductivity, the 4D printed device has been proved in concept for potential applications in thermal management in a building envelop for dynamic climate adaptation, taking place automatically based on the environment.

Identification and improvement of isothiocyanate-based inhibitors on stomatal opening to act as drought tolerance-conferring agrochemicals

Stomatal pores in the plant epidermis open and close to regulate gas exchange between leaves and the atmosphere. Upon light stimulation, the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase is phosphorylated and activated via an intracellular signal transduction pathway in stomatal guard cells, providing a primary driving force for the opening movement. To uncover and manipulate this stomatal opening pathway, we screened a chemical library and identified benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), a Brassicales-specific metabolite, as a potent stomatal-opening inhibitor that suppresses PM H+-ATPase phosphorylation. We further developed BITC derivatives with multiple isothiocyanate groups (multi-ITCs), which demonstrate inhibitory activity on stomatal opening up to 66 times stronger, as well as a longer duration of the effect and negligible toxicity. The multi-ITC treatment inhibits plant leaf wilting in both short (1.5 h) and long-term (24 h) periods. Our research elucidates the biological function of BITC and its use as an agrochemical that confers drought tolerance on plants by suppressing stomatal opening.

La psychiatrie et les disciplines extrinsèques. Ouvertures et compositions

ObjectivesPsychiatry as a discipline is oriented towards the other and towards otherness; not only that of the patient and of their psychological issues, but also for the alterity of external knowledge. Recognizing its own limitations and its inability to think alone, psychiatry, whose specific knowledge is undoubtedly quite limited, has since the beginning turned to other disciplines. This article does not try to propose a new model likely to articulate this conceptual heterogeneity, but tries to understand how this movement of opening towards other disciplines is carried out. Psychiatry undeniably finds a richness in this, but does not its subservience to currents that are external to it risk accentuating its dissolution and making its identity disappear? MethodBased on the distinction proposed by G. Lantéri-Laura between intrinsic disciplines (i.e. clinical disciplines such as neurology, psychoanalysis) and extrinsic disciplines, which use a theoretical elaboration that owes nothing to clinical engagement with subjects (such as anthropology, history, or linguistics), this article will endeavor to show the contribution of extrinsic disciplines throughout the history of psychiatry, using a number of specific cases. ResultsThis article describes several ways in which psychiatry is linked to extrinsic knowledge, focusing more specifically on the human and social sciences and on history. Firstly, we study the movement by which psychiatry seeks support for its practice, an ethic of care, and even a critical ‘third eye’ that can offer it this perspective on a practice that is often decried. Secondly, this study proposes to examine the extent to which psychiatry, through the knowledge that it isolates concerning the question of madness, opens up by itself to a questioning of humanity that can be taken into account by other disciplines. Sociology shows, in particular, how clinical categories can be linked to the prejudices and ideals of a culture and an era. History shows how an event such as Pinel's liberation from chains can benefit from historical interpretations, the meanings of which are never exhausted. DiscussionPsychiatry is inspired by other knowledges, but this borrowing is often based on displacements that reflect the need to adapt to clinical issues. This extrinsic knowledge is never imported without transformation and without some infidelity. ConclusionRe-examining what is most obvious, questioning what seems most customary, these are the benefits that psychiatry can obtain by choosing to decentralize and to call upon disciplines extrinsic to the clinical. The inclusion of the human and social sciences in the understanding of psychological disorders is now well established. The dialogue that results from the meeting of heterogeneous disciplines is not intended to lead to a consensus. The clinical practice of psychiatry retains strong specificities linked to the exercise of the encounter with mental disorder. The resulting knowledge is irreducible to other disciplines. The psychiatric act is based on a responsibility incumbent on the clinician alone, irremediably divided by the issues he or she must face.

Experimental validation of a new model for mandibular motions.

Long-term excessive forces loading from muscles of mastication during mandibular motions may result in disorders of temporomandibular joint (TMJ), myofascial pain, and restriction of jaw opening and closing. Current analysis of mandibular movements is generally conducted with a single opening, protrusive and lateral movements rather than composite motions that the three can be combined arbitrarily. The objective of this study was to construct theoretical equations reflecting the correlation between composite motions and muscle forces, and consequently to analyze the mandibular composite motions and the tensions of muscles of mastication in multiple dimensions. The muscle performances such as strength, power, and endurance of mandibular motions were analyzed and the effective motion range of each muscle was derived. The mandibular composite motion model was simplified by calculating muscle forces. An orthogonal rotation matrix based on muscle forces was established. A 3D printed mandible was used for in vitro simulation of mandibular motions on a robot and measurements of force were conducted. The theoretical model and forces were verified through a trajectory tracing experiment of mandibular motions driven by a 6-axis robot with force/torque sensors. Through the analysis of the mandibular composite motion model, the motion form was obtained and transferred to guide the motions of the robot. The error between the experimental data obtained by the 6-axis force/torque sensors and the theoretical data was within 0.6 N. Our system provides excellent visualization for analyzing the changes of muscle forces and locations during various mandibular movements. It is useful for clinicians to diagnose and formulate treatment for patients who suffer from (temporomandibular joint disorders) TMDs and restrict jaw movements. The system can potentially offer the comparison before and after treatment of TMDs or jaw surgery.

Where Are We Going with Statistical Computing? From Mathematical Statistics to Collaborative Data Science

The field of statistical computing is rapidly developing and evolving. Shifting away from the formerly siloed landscape of mathematics, statistics, and computer science, recent advancements in statistical computing are largely characterized by a fusing of these worlds; namely, programming, software development, and applied statistics are merging in new and exciting ways. There are numerous drivers behind this advancement, including open movement (encompassing development, science, and access), the advent of data science as a field, and collaborative problem-solving, as well as practice-altering advances in subfields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Bayesian estimation. In this paper, we trace this shift in how modern statistical computing is performed, and that which has recently emerged from it. This discussion points to a future of boundless potential for the field.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL KINEMATICS OF THE JAW FOLLOWING UNILATERAL AND BILATERAL PROSTHETIC TMJ SURGERY

Total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacements reduce pain and improve quality of life in patients suffering from end-stage TMJ disorders, such as osteoarthritis and trauma. Jaw kinematics measurements following TMJ arthroplasty provide a basis for evaluating implant performance and jaw function. The aim of this study is to provide the first measurements of three-dimensional kinematics of the jaw in patients following unilateral and bilateral prosthetic TMJ surgeries.Jaw motion tracking experiments were performed on 7 healthy control participants, 3 unilateral and 1 bilateral TMJ replacement patients. Custom-made mouthpieces were manufactured for each participant's mandibular and maxillary teeth, with each supporting three retroreflective markers anterior to the participant's lip line. Participants performed 15 trials each of maximum jaw opening, lateral and protrusive movements. Marker trajectories were simultaneously measured using an optoelectronic tracking system. Laser scans taken of each dental plate, together with CT scans of each patient, were used to register the plate position to each participant's jaw geometry, allowing 3D condylar motion to be quantified from the marker trajectories.The maximum mouth opening capacity of joint replacement patients was comparable to healthy controls with average incisal inferior translations of 37.5mm, 38.4mm and 33.6mm for the controls, unilateral and bilateral joint replacement patients respectively. During mouth opening the maximum anterior translation of prosthetic condyles was 2.4mm, compared to 10.6mm for controls. Prosthetic condyles had limited anterior motion compared to natural condyles, in unilateral patients this resulted in asymmetric opening and protrusive movements and the capacity to laterally move their jaw towards their pathological side only. For the bilateral patient, protrusive and lateral jaw movement capacity was minimal.Total TMJ replacement surgery facilitates normal mouth opening capacity and lateral and inferior condylar movements but limits anterior condylar motion. This study provides future direction for TMJ implant design.

Effects of short-term motor training on accuracy and precision of simple jaw and finger movements after orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery: A case-control study.

Orthognathic surgery has been performed with increasing frequency for the treatment of severe malocclusion, yet the postsurgical neuromuscular recovery of patients has been inadequately studied. To investigate the effect of short-term and simple jaw motor training on accuracy and precision of jaw motor control in patients following orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. Twenty patients who had completed preoperative orthodontics, 20 patients who had undergone bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and 20 age-and-gender-matched healthy controls participated in the study. Participants were asked to perform 10 continuous jaw opening and finger lifting movements before and after a 30-min motor training session. The variability in the amplitude of these simple movements was expressed as percentage in relation to the target position (accuracy - Daccu ) and as coefficient of variation (precision - CVprec ) to describe the motor performance. Furthermore, the changes in amplitude before and after training were measured in percentage. Daccu and CVprec of simple jaw and finger movements significantly decreased after motor training (p ≤ .018) in all groups. The relative changes in finger movements were higher than jaw movements (p < .001) but with no differences among the groups (p ≥ .247). Both accuracy and precision of simple jaw and finger movements improved after short-term motor training in all three groups, demonstrating the inherent potential for optimization of novel motor tasks. Finger movements improved more than jaw movements but with no differences between groups, suggesting that changes in occlusion and craniofacial morphology are not associated with impaired neuroplasticity or physiological adaptability of jaw motor function.

Street Crimes: A Case Study of District Swabi (KP)

The study focused on street crimes in Swabi city, KP, exploring their profound impact on societal stability. Street crime, encompassing criminal activities in public places, poses significant threats to social integrity, limiting residents' open movement. Perpetrated mostly by deviants within neighborhoods, street crimes are symptomatic of legal, economic, educational, and moral declines. The study covered residents from five police jurisdictions in Swabi, including Swabi, Kalu Khan, Yar Hussain, Parmolo, and Chota Lahor Swabi KP, with 50 male residents interviewed using an interview schedule for data collection. Employing a quantitative approach, the research aimed to uncover the causes and consequences of street crimes. Findings revealed a correlation between drug use and street crimes, with respondents highlighting the role of inadequate child socialization. Common offenses in Swabi included mobile snatching and bike theft. Moreover, the study provided evidence linking poverty and lack of education as significant contributors to the prevalence of street crimes within the community.
