Talking to Machado de Assis: Generative Artificial Intelligence to Simulate Dialogues with Prominent Figures

Generative artificial intelligence encompasses techniques for automatically generating content such as image, music, and text. A common application of these techniques, especially involving text generation, is the construction of conversational agents. In education, generative artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the learning process and enable new forms of teaching, such as the practical application of concepts studied in class and the acquisition of new knowledge through the interaction with computational tools. In Brazil, literature teachers often complain about students' resistance to the content and insufficient reading practice. To address these challenges, this work presents a serious game in which students can chat with Machado de Assis, an important writer of the Brazilian literature. The game was developed by integrating with ChatGPT. The validation was conducted with 15 high school students for them to interpret the book "Dom Casmurro". The MEEGA+ instrument was used to evaluate the usability and the experience with the game. The main findings were that students better understood the book, found the game easy to use, and felt immersed in the conversation with Machado de Assis, although they assessed the texts as long and tiring. In a world dominated by faster and visually stimulating forms of entertainment, such as video games and social networks, students may have different expectations regarding the reading experience. If they are not used to reading denser and more introspective texts, they may find it difficult to maintain interest when chatting with Machado de Assis. Finally, another implicit point in the game dynamics is observed: the (re)signification of the methodology to be adopted by the teacher, who will perceive the need to complement interactions with the writer in class according to what he can or should answer, tending to responses that stimulate students to study more about what is within the realm of knowledge about Machado de Assis.

Cipher key instructions in early modern Europe: analysis and text edition

We present an overview of instructions for the use of European historical cipher keys in early modern times. We describe the structure of instructions and the content presented to the key users. We exemplify various key instruction types and give a text edition of typical examples in various languages. The study is based on the analysis of more than 1,600 cipher keys collected from archives and libraries in ten European countries. We examine the practical implementation of cipher keys to the extent that instructions offer insights into everyday cryptographic practices. We focus on the typical rules scribes were expected to adhere to and the common errors they were instructed to avoid. We aim to reconstruct the apprehensions and considerations of the authors of cipher keys: They sought to offer assistance to users while likely harboring concerns regarding the potential misuse of their intellectual product. Given the secretive nature of cryptology, the documentation of knowledge transfer is scarce. In addition to the detailed manuals authored by well-known cryptologists, anonymous cipher key instructions offer valuable insights into this knowledge transfer process. By studying these instructions, historians gain direct access to a realm of knowledge that would otherwise remain hidden from their view.

Emerging Epistemologies: The Changing Fabric of Knowledge in Postnormal Times

Ziauddin Sardar, ed. Emerging Epistemologies: The Changing Fabric of Knowledge in Postnormal Times. London. IIIT and The Centre for Postnormal Policy and Future Studies, London, 2022. 184 pp. ISBN: 978-1-64205-659-4 (hardback); 978-1-56564-602-5 (paperback); 978-1-56564-012-2 (ebook). Ziauddin Sardar’s recently edited book is a collection of articles by several authors on the interesting theme of emerging epistemologies brought about by what he terms “the changing fabric of knowledge in postnormal times.” Apparently driven by an intellectual desire to convey to the whole world the important message that humanity is now living in “postnormal times,” and yet it is still stubbornly clinging to the colonial epistemology, Sardar aptly titled his Introduction “Beyond the Epistemologies of Conquest and Desire.” It is a title that is loaded with messages about the past, at least in the realm of knowledge, beyond which the human mind should now attempt to focus its attention on the understanding of the emerging present.

Primero Sueño: Exhaustion of Desire, Desire of Exhaustion

Abstract This article addresses the gaps in scholarship on the implications of the “failure” of knowledge in Sor Juana’s First Dream by analyzing the performative representation of failure as a solution to ambitious desire. The endless failures eventually exhaust the shame of failing to achieve absolute knowledge by comparing her use of Phaeton’s myth to Teresa of Avila’s humility. The refiguration of failure problematizes the distinction between the secular and religious realms of knowledge in contemporary academic discourses about Sor Juana’s aesthetic impulses.

Competition and cooperation: a coopetition strategy for sustainable performance through serial mediation of knowledge sharing and open innovation

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the coopetition strategy (CS) (the simultaneous pursuit of collaboration and competition) on sustainable performance (SP) through the serial mediation of knowledge sharing (KS) and open innovation (OI). Design/methodology/approach A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from corporate business enterprises, and partial least squares structural equation modeling was used for analysis. Findings Empirical evidence supports the coopetition strategy's role in enhancing KS, which in turn fosters OI, leading to improved SP. It has also been concluded that KS and OI have a significant serial mediation effect on the relationship between CS and SP. Practical implications Through the integration of KS and inward-outward open innovation, the coopetition model enables coopetitors leverage each other’s resources and capacities for mutual sustainability. To fully benefit from it, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) must change their perception of free competition and actively engage in coopetition activities, particularly in the realms of knowledge and OI. Originality/value The most novel contribution of this study to the growing body of knowledge on SP is the establishment of empirical evidence regarding the crucial role of a serial mediation of KS and OI in the relationship between CS and SP. Unlike earlier research, this study provides a structured perspective and understanding of how and why CS, KS and OI were leveraged to enhance the SP of SMEs.

Muse of Astronomy

The ancient Greek Muses were deities credited with divine inspiration of poets and others, enabling those mortals to create great works in their field. This inspiration, sometimes temporary and sometimes permanent, could either grant an individual a divine level of talent, or give access to knowledge that was otherwise unknowable, all in order to enhance the mortal’s craft. Divinely inspired creation was generally perceived as a collaborative process, involving contribution by both the mortal (accumulating skill and knowledge over their lifetime) and the Muse (granting divine inspiration). With 9 Muses, each overseeing a different realm, it may seem surprising that astronomy (manifested as the goddess Urania) is included alongside arts such as epic poetry, tragic theater and choral music. However, upon further examination of both primary and secondary sources, the boundary between art and science that exists in the present day was not present in ancient Greek society. Instead, realms of knowledge as diverse as astronomy, history, and dance were thought to involve both reason and creativity, represented by mortal technical skill and divine inspiration, respectively. Only with both elements, believed the ancient Greeks, could a mortal produce something truly great.

Characteristics Of The Integration Of Islam, Science And Archipelago Culture Study

Integration between Islam, science and Indonesian culture is an effort to unite and create a relationship between religious values, science and technology, and Indonesian culture. This aims to form an intellectual generation capable of upholding the values ​​of the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. in everyday life which cannot be separated from science and technology as well as the culture that exists in society. This research uses a case study method. To obtain data, researchers collected various kinds of scientific papers or data related to the characteristics of the integration of Islam, science and Indonesian culture. This research shows that Islam, science and Indonesian culture are related and can complement each other to cover each other's shortcomings. This means that in these three realms of knowledge there is a kind of common ground, especially in its tentative nature (uncertain or still subject to change). Even if taken further, namely from a religious perspective, all ontological object statuses, be it science, religion or culture, are one.

Directional Crystal Jumping Controlled by Chirality.

Jumping crystals of racemic mixtures of asparagine monohydrate have been presented in this contribution to emphasize the key role of molecular chirality in governing the direction of macroscopic motions. When heated at the specific faces of the single crystals, a pair of enantiomorphs jump in opposite directions, which are further utilized for chiral resolution. The hydrogen-bonded networks between asparagine molecules in a specific direction provide oriented channels for the escape of water molecules during the dehydration, serving as a foundation for the directional crystal jumping. Our findings not only lay the foundation for the future creation of directed actuation systems based on dynamic crystals but shall also guide the efforts to reveal the correlation between chirality and motion across diverse realms of knowledge.

Des aspects et dimensions des relations entre la pensée et la vie chez Bergson et Canguilhem

This article aims to explore some aspects and dimensions of the relationship between thought and life in Bergson and Canguilhem’s philosophies. Whether in the realm of action or in the realm of knowledge, both philosophers are far from attributing to the intellect a categorical and unilateral hostility toward life. This non-opposition is more evident in Canguilhem, but it is not absent from Bergson’s philosophy. This is because the assumption of the difficulties that the intellect finds when dealing with the vital launched Bergson toward an effort of intellection able of weaving complex relationships with life, surpassing those inherited by thought at its natural limits.

Century of Laskarev's landmark contribution to Paratethys Science

Laskarev?s seminal contribution to the recognition and elucidation of the Paratethys Sea within geological discourse stands as one of the pivotal milestones in our understanding of Neogene European paleogeography. Although the Neogene marine deposits of central and southeastern Europe were known before him, he greatly facilitated discourse and communication about them by giving them a paleogeographical name. By officially introducing the term Paratethys and meticulously delineating its geographic extent and history, Laskarev unveiled profound insights into past climates, environments, and biotic evolution across Central and Eastern Europe. His work provided a solid foundation for subsequent investigations of the Paratethys region. Moreover, beyond its scientific intrigue, the Paratethys Sea holds considerable economic importance due to its rich geo logical endowment. This reservoir of resources includes hydrocarbon reserves, mineral deposits, and a burgeoning potential for geotourism. While substantial strides have been made in unraveling its mysteries, the Paratethys Sea still beckons further exploration, promising untapped realms of knowledge and economic opportunity.

Augmenting Engineering Pedagogy - Fusion of Practical and Theoretical Dimensions: Exploring Onsite Immersions

Abstract—Contemporary engineering education faces multifaceted challenges, stemming from the dynamic essence of the discipline, the expanse of knowledge acquisition demanded of students, and the inundation of information availability. Nurturing well-rounded graduates necessitates not only a profound grasp of their chosen domain but also adeptness in troubleshooting complex issues. Synthesizing theoretical erudition, hands-on proficiencies, and computerized applications tailored to bolster diverse facets of projects—encompassing drafting, designing, tridimensional visualization, and analysis—constitutes a pivotal facet of the engineering curriculum. Noteworthy achievements have been recorded by individuals irrespective of their formal educational background, underscoring the potentiality of knowledge garnered from conventional schooling or alternative avenues. While the knowledge drawn from textbooks and didactic sessions falls under the aegis of theoretical comprehension, practical acumen is honed through immersive engagement with real-world predicaments. Both realms of knowledge bear significance, necessitating holistic appreciation. The principal objective herein resides in fortifying engineering students' grasp of their specialized subjects, achieved through hands-on pedagogical interventions. This endeavor probes the import of infusing interactive classroom engagements and pragmatic on-site sojourns into engineering training regimens, synergistically empowered by software aids. The vantage point embraced is that of the students, examining the perceived value of such integrated approaches.

The Integration of Medicine and Confucianism in the Late Yuan Period: Focusing on Neo-Confucian Physician Zhu Zhenheng.

Zhu Zhenheng, the last generation and sole representative from Southern China among the four masters of Jin-Yuan medicine, synthesized the evolution of Chinese medicine from the Song to the Yuan dynasties, profoundly impacting East Asian medical history. Zhu, identified as a Neo-Confucian scholar, appears in the Scholarly Records of the Song-Yuan Dynasties and in 'the Biographies of Confucians' rather than 'the Biographies of Experts' in the Official History of the Yuan Dynasty. His close association with the Jinhua school of Daoxue is noteworthy. Zhu's career, as well as his medical theory and practice, exemplify the influence of Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, which was a significant intellectual resource among the literati during the late Yuan period, on medicine. Zhu Zhenheng's model of a Confucian physician later became a paradigm in East Asia, as Neo-Confucianism gained mainstream acceptance among the literati. This paper offers a detailed exploration of the specific contexts of Zhu's social and intellectual networks as well as an examination of the characteristics of his medical theories and practices. It explores how Zhu's career and identity as a Neo-Confucian physician were shaped through the local and empire-wide networks of the Jinhua school of Neo-Confucianism within the broader context of the Mongol empire, a global power in the late Yuan period. The paper also examines in depth how Zhu's medical practices were influenced by Neo-Confucianism, and it investigates the real nature and significance of the integration of medicine and Neo-Confucianism, two distinctly different realms of knowledge. Zhu Zhenheng's medical theories were formed through concerns about jufang medicine and the active presentation of alternatives. A notable aspect of his integration of medicine and Confucianism was the adoption of Neo-Confucian terminologies, concepts, and philosophical and ethical theses, while ensuring that the unique and independent domain of medicine was not subordinated to abstract philosophical theories. This is especially evident through his active and effective use of medical cases. Unlike previous studies, this paper demonstrates that Zhu Zhenheng's integration of medicine and Neo-Confucianism was mostly a metalevel process, involving methodology and knowledge reproduction patterns, and was driven by a belief in the possibility of harmonizing with Daoxue's ultimate principle without undermining the autonomy of medical knowledge.

SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE ISLAMIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE

Since the 1970s, Muslim intellectuals have offered alternatives to Euro-American dominance in the realm of knowledge. A new movement known as the “Islamization of Knowledge” was founded arguing for an epistemological revolution that hinged on the ideals of Tawhid (unity) and the sacralization of “secularized” disciplines and subjects. This article offers some critical reflections on this intriguing undertaking. In our view, the Islamization of Knowledge project was structured primarily around the idea of civilizational difference and a partial reading of the history of knowledge formation. The notion that knowledge can be “Islamized” or has been “secularized” is equally problematic because human knowledge incorporates both secular and sacred dimensions. Duality exists only in the minds and practices of knowledge producers and policymakers.

Pendidikan sebagai Reproduksi Nilai Menurut Ibnu Khaldun dan Implementasinya di SMP Islam Amanah Ummah

Many philosophers have contributed their thoughts to the field of education, including Ibn Khaldun. He was a bold individual who introduced innovative ideas. Specifically in the realms of knowledge and education, he successfully mapped and positioned Islamic and general knowledge effectively, making it easy for anyone to study and conduct further research. This study aims to analyze Ibn Khaldun's thoughts on education as the reproduction of values and its implementation in Amanah Ummah Junior High School, Sukoharjo. The research employs a qualitative method (Field Research). The results obtained by the author include the following: concerning the aspect of Islamic educational goals, Ibn Khaldun's perspectives are; 1) shaping the Complete Individual (Insan Kamil), 2) the importance of teachers having models and approaches in teaching, 3) using techniques appropriate to the subject matter, and 4) implementing knowledge into positive values.

Irreconcilable knowledges?: A way forward

This article considers the realm of knowledge in early childhood education (ECE); what knowledge is valued, and how different types of knowledge position children and educators. To this end, two different examples of practice informed by different types of knowledge are provided: one from an educator working in a long day care service (Duncan) and a second, a national assessment of young children’s development, the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC). The two examples reflect practices that one might see in Australian ECE settings, and due to governance and regulations, both illustrations could be evident in the same context. Using a dialogic approach we provide an insight into the requirements of the everyday work of educators and the disparate and often irreconcilable understandings of knowledge that inform their everyday work. We conclude with some suggestions for more equitable approaches and identify some of the challenges of attempting to do this.
