Author(s): Rodolfo García Zamora,Pascual G. García Macías,José Salvador Cueto Calderón / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 1/2020

Yeiyá (“caminar” en wixárica, grupo étnico de México), revista de estudios críticos sobre ciencias sociales de los problemas y retos más importantes del mundo, y en particular de América Latina, hace su aparición a finales del 2020, año de enorme incertidumbre por la pandemia del capitalismo global que de forma inédita presenta la sincronía con una crisis civilizatoria multidimensional evidente desde los años setenta del siglo anterior, que se profundiza con la Gran Recesión económica de 2007-2010 y ahora con la doble pandemia mundial, sanitaria y económica, muestran la enorme vulnerabilidad de la humanidad y del planeta de seguir bajo los dictados del modelo de la muerte neoliberal y la financiarización de todos los aspectos de la economía, la sociedad, la naturaleza y la vida. Los impactos planetarios a nivel sanitario, económico, de desigualdad social creciente y de mayor ecocidio frente a un acentuado proceso de concentración de la riqueza de las corporaciones financieras, informáticas, de la salud y la industria militar obligan a promover un debate profundo sobre nuevas propuestas de organización social, de estrategias diferentes de desarrollo con la seguridad humana, el bienestar y la sostenibilidad ambiental como prioridades centrales. Lo que implica, entre otras tareas, definir el regreso del Estado al frente de las políticas sanitarias y económicas en todo el mundo como única estrategia para enfrentar los impactos y construir la salida de la doble pandemia, se convierte en una etapa de transición hacia la construcción de escenarios de posdesarrollo que erradiquen la explotación, la desigualdad, la depredación de la naturaleza y el aniquilamiento de las diferentes expresiones de la vida.

Private information in public spaces:

Private information in public spaces:

Author(s): Juliana Novaes / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2021

Cities are the stage of a curious phenomenon in which people feel at the same time at home and like complete strangers. A city provides simultaneously the familiarity of its residents concerning places and people and the possibility of living in relative anonymity. However, the last few decades have been accompanied by an increase in the use of information and communication technologies in the infrastructure and functioning of urban centers around the world. There has been a move towards the development of the commercial ecosystem of so-called smart cities, with the public administration increasingly partnering with private corporations to offer solutions in public services that involve the processing of personal data from citizens. Objectives: This paper aims to discuss the new dilemmas that arrive with the growth of surveillance technologies applied to urban centers and the increasing participation of the private sector in the processing of data whose origin lies within public services. Prior work: In order to accomplish so, this article analyzes this phenomenon from a capitalism surveillance framework perspective, in light of international data protection standards and with a primary focus on the analysis of the processing of citizens' data in the provision of public services Approach: The main approaches used are literature review and case studies. The first section will be dedicated to the discussion about the concept of “smart cities”; the second section will bring up the study of three cases about the implementation of facial recognition in the public transport system of the city of Sao Paulo; and the third and fourth sections are dedicated to the analysis of the legitimacy, risks, political and social implications of this type of surveillance practices. Results: As a result, this paper points to some of the issues that arise with the implementation of surveillance technologies in public services, such as the invasions of individuals’ rights of privacy and freedom of expression. Implications: The study offers an opportunity for researchers and policymakers to have a perspective on how these practical cases reflect some of the academic discussions around surveillance in smart cities. Value: This paper, therefore, offers an original analysis of three existing cases and their insertion into a broader discussion of surveillance in urban centers and some of the risks involved.

The participation of citizens to achieve smart people’s
case study:

The participation of citizens to achieve smart people’s case study:

Author(s): Helen Dian Fridayani,Li-Chun Chiang / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2021

The concept of a smart city according to several studies is very feasible to be adopted and developed as a solution to urban problems so far. Six smart city concepts can be adopted by adjusting the conditions of each city. The six concepts are a smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart government, smart living, and smart infrastructure. After all, the most important element of a city area is the citizens of the city itself. The concept of a smart city was born to answer the problems faced by citizens. The concept of a smart city can be realized if coupled with efforts to make smart city residents (Smart Citizen). Intelligence is not just talking about improving the level of academic education, but increasing awareness and awareness of citizens to be directly involved in the process of formulating government policies and programs in their cities. Through the use of current information technology advances, it is very possible to do and be initiated by the government. Therefore, this paper will analyze the participation of the community in Sleman Regency to achieve the smart peoples. The method used in this study is qualitative and quantitative in which qualitative in-depth interviews are conducted with various sources, namely the government and the community and quantitative is done by distributing 100 questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that people are happy with the government's efforts to realize the concept of smart cities and districts. Besides, although the government has made various kinds of complaints channels to be closer to the community, several factors influence the community to use these channels, such as because of education, and inclusion. In the other hand, another factor that the most influence the use of public complaints is the response from the government.

Rękopisy szczecińskiego Gimnazjum Mariackiego w zbiorach Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Toruniu

Rękopisy szczecińskiego Gimnazjum Mariackiego w zbiorach Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Toruniu

Author(s): Andrzej Mycio / Language(s): Polish Issue: 02/2020

The historic collection of the University Library in Toruń in its fundamental shape was formed after the World War II, based on the so called restricted collection, i.e. primarily the books from the former German libraries. To Toruń came mainly books from Eastern Prussia and Pomerania. Substantial part of the post-German collection came from Szczecin, including the books kept until the World War II in the Library of the Marian Gymnasium, which continued the tradition of the princely Pedagogium. The Szczecin collection came to Toruń shortly after the military operations of the Wold War II came to an end, either directly from Szczecin or via Pęzino, where they were evacuated by the German administration in order to protect them from the Allied bombings. Single books of Szczecin provenience were bought by the University Library in Toruń also in the subsequent years. In the Toruń university library we house today eight manuscript codices from the Marian Gymnasium Library in Szczecin. All the manuscripts came into being in the modern period, from the late 16th century until second half of the 18th century. Seven of them represent the domains of law, medicine, and theology. Their content reflects the then state of thought and is a perfect source material for studies into the history of science. The eighth one contains the library catalogues and inventories, and is particularly precious for the researchers of history of the Szczecin Gymnasium and its Library.

Temporal Intersections of Mobility and Informality: Simsars as (Im)moral Agents in the Trajectories of Syrian Refugees in Turkey and Germany

Temporal Intersections of Mobility and Informality: Simsars as (Im)moral Agents in the Trajectories of Syrian Refugees in Turkey and Germany

Author(s): Hilal Alkan / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

During the Syrian conflict that sparked after the insurgency in 2011, 5,6 million Syrians sought refuge in other countries. This article looks into the informal practices that have significance in the trajectories of refugees who fled first to Turkey and then to Germany. These informal practices are directed at the facilitation of spatial and social mobilities between and within these two countries: a) cross-border migrant smuggling and, b) employment and real estate brokerage. The accounts of the research participants point to a differential moral worth attached to these two modalities of informal facilitation: they value the work of smuggling and detest the idea of other types of brokerage. These views are in direct contrast to the views by the respective states, and the article discusses the reasons behind the asymmetry of moral assessments between the refugees’ accounts and the perspective of the two states. It is argued that refugees’ differential assessment is related to how their experiences of time changed between their flight and settlement in their new homes, as well as their perception of borders.

Литературные аллюзии и языковые параллели у Николоза Бараташвили и Адама Мицкевича (стихотворение Мерани и поэма Фарис)

Литературные аллюзии и языковые параллели у Николоза Бараташвили и Адама Мицкевича (стихотворение Мерани и поэма Фарис)

Author(s): Manana Mikadze / Language(s): Russian Issue: 20/2020

“Of the Georgian romantics, the greatest poet and the greatest philosopher is Nikoloz Baratashvili” – these words of Professor Giorgi Dzhibladze best express the genius of Nikoloz Baratashvili, who at the age of 26 ended his turbulent and tragic life, having failed to fulfill his dreams because of the physical trauma, unable to embody her great love in reality, although Ekaterina Chavchavadze-Dadiani (the object of his unrequited love) saved his poetry from oblivion: it was she who gave the great Georgian writer Ilya Chavchavadze Baratashvili’s manuscript, thanks to which she actually returned the great poet’s Georgian literature to this time, unfortunately, is almost forgotten. In our opinion, Nikoloz Baratashvili could get acquainted with Faris by Adam Mitskevich through Russian translation. This circumstance led some scholars (Iona Meunargia, Kit Abashidze) to believe that the Georgian Merani was allegedly created under a certain influence of the poem of the Polish poet. Such a view of this issue, in our opinion, is devoid of a real foundation, primarily due to the fact that these two works in their artistic form show a very distant, almost insignificant similarity, while the ideological relationship is indisputable. The poetic spirit of Mitskevich was undoubtedly close to Nikoloz Baratashvili. A. Mitskevich dedicated his poem to the Polish scientist Vaclav Razhevsky, who suffered the same fate as the hero of the poem. V. Razhevsky conducted scientific research in Arabia, where he died. Mickiewicz paints a heroic image of a rider who is not afraid of anything; Baratashvili, on the other hand, describes the despair of his rider, who is in a state when nothing in the world matters to him and who prefers death to life, but meaningful death, sacrificed to descendants. The genius of the author of Merani is manifested precisely in the fact that in the harsh, gloomy atmosphere of his time, he still managed to discern that a person in the future will still win, that the time will come and justice will triumph: there will be a holiday on his street. N. Baratashvili was able to unite reason and faith, and in their selfless, titanic confrontation with blind fate, he saw the highest meaning and justification of human existence. Merani for all Georgian poetry is the same crown as The Knight in the Panther’s Skin by Shota Rustaveli. If classic epic thinking found its fullest reflection in Rustaveli’s poem, Merani is a brilliant example of lyrical self-expression characteristic of romantic poetry.

Primul document privind conservarea Bibliotecii Teleki. Tabula legum bibliotecarum.

Primul document privind conservarea Bibliotecii Teleki. Tabula legum bibliotecarum.

Author(s): Călin Ovidiu POP / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2002

Samuel Teleki was not just a men of culture who’s interest in books was connected to his social image. He was passionately fond of books; he understood, at an early age, the importance of education, the necessity of a library.When he was 19, he began to acquire books from 25 important typographical centers from Europe. He was very interested in making a library of encyclopedic nature.The first document concerning the organization and conservation of his library was written in 1798. Through its indications, this document proves quite current, because it underlines some basic rules concerning the use of the books: the readers must take care of books, they must not touch them with dirty hands etc. There are some rules for the librarians too: the way the library must be organized, the way the building must be cleaned and maintained etc.

Advanced Formatting of Delimited Big Data with Python

Advanced Formatting of Delimited Big Data with Python

Author(s): Ivan Drankov,Yassen Gorbounov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

With the growing demand for big data applications, the requirements for data processing tools are constantly increasing. Most of the problems associated with big data are size, inaccurate data, irrelevant data fields, inconsistent formatting, duplicate data, etc., and most of the conventional tools are not designed for big workloads. Formatting large amounts of data can lead to lots of problems while processing it. Although this data is usually delimited, the large volume makes the use of visual software inapplicable to run on limited data. On the other hand, the use of regular expressions inherent to many programming languages such as Perl or tools like grep (global regular expression print) is characterized by certain complexity and requires in-depth knowledge, thus limiting the scope of their application. This article offers a method for working with large amounts of data, developed using the Python programming language. The considered method has very good flexibility allowing easy configuration via XML file and achieving a high degree of automation.

Software for statistical modeling via tensor Algebra

Software for statistical modeling via tensor Algebra

Author(s): Valeri Kostov,Latchezar Tomov,Slav Angelov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

We developed software for statistical modeling and forecasting with general linear models and with composite functions as predictors. The software is applied for predictions of demand and supply of electrical energy for the Energy System Operator in Bulgaria. It supports automatic periodic updating of models and predictions. We propose for future development application of index expressions for tensor calculations in order to do multiple prognoses simultaneously. The proposed approach will allow us to update multiple models automatically.

Teaching Database Design and the Importance of Integrity

Teaching Database Design and the Importance of Integrity

Author(s): Peter Peinl / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The costs to correct mistakes made in the early phases of database projects often rise exponentially with the number of phases between detection and correction. Therefore an adequate preparation of beginners as part of their university education, practically and conceptually, is able to avoid many mistakes. This paper outlines a systematic classroom approach to guide through the design of a database including faithful, rule based translation into an equivalent relational schema and its implementation using the SQL language. Experiences from teaching that course in a real classroom are compared to those made in spring/summer 2020, when the course had to be taught in a virtual classroom because of the Corona pandemic.

A heuristic algorithm based on hydrophobic amino acids sequences in HP protein folding problem

Author(s): Metodi Traykov,Slav Angelov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The protein structure prediction is of massive significance because the properties of the proteins are critically determined by their structures. The protein structure prediction problem (Protein Folding Problem) is to predict the compact three-dimensional structure of a protein based on its amino acid sequence. Therefore, the protein folding problem is a computationally challenging problem. In this article, we will study the behavior of heuristic algorithm for protein folding problem, above sequences of hydrophobic amino acids only. The article is for educational purposes.

Interactive Cultural Heritage Presentation in AR

Interactive Cultural Heritage Presentation in AR

Author(s): Zlatka Uzunova,Angel Pashev,Pavlena Yordanova,Alexander Dedelyanov,Stoyan Maleshkov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The passive presentation of cultural heritage using Augmented Reality (AR) alone is impressive but does not take full advantage of the great potential provided by this technology. Providing the user with the ability to also interact with the virtual objects retains the user’s attention for a longer period of time. In this way allowing more knowledge about the artifact to be gained, while at the same time creating a lasting impression of the experience. This paper presents our approach to creating rich interactive experiences with quality content, through which cultural heritage artifacts can be explored so that the user can learn more about them in an engaging way.

Data Quality Assessment of Medical Insurance Claims

Data Quality Assessment of Medical Insurance Claims

Author(s): Prachiti Aras,Guanglan Zhang,Reza Rawassizadeh,Irena Vodenska,Lou Chitkushev / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

High quality data lay a solid foundation for downstream research. Data quality assessment (DQA) is a necessary yet challenging step in data analytics projects involving coded administrative health data. Eight rules were established based on the presence of age and gender incompatible diagnosis. Using a rule-based method, we assessed data quality of a large medical insurance claim database, the Truven Health Analytics MarketScan Database. DQA results were reported based on nine years of inpatient claim data (Y2006-2014) and three years of outpatient data (Y2006, 2010, and 2014). In both inpatient and outpatient data, the most prevalent data issues are related to newborn conditions. Among the over 2.8 million inpatient records with newborn specific conditions, more than 22% belong to patients who are not newborn. The corresponding error rate in outpatient data is around 2%. Among the over 4 million inpatient maternal records, around 6% contain newborn specific codes. It was observed that the error rates are lower in outpatient data across the board and different patterns of data quality issues are associated with inpatient vs. outpatient records. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that systematically assesses the data quality of MarketScan databases.

JGRAMS: Just-in-time Grading for Effective Feedback

JGRAMS: Just-in-time Grading for Effective Feedback

Author(s): Eric Braude,Nicole Tebaldi,Pedro Valeriev Cartaxo Brussarski,Sumesh Poduval,Kathleen Park / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

JGRAMS (Just-in-time Grading Messages) is a system designed to promote quality in student papers and reports, and to improve efficiency in grading. It does this by providing students with a Word template for the assignment, which contains rubrics as structured comments called JGRAMs, located with specific sections of the template. The idea is to make grading rubrics very evident to the student, who is thus more likely to pay attention to the qualities desired. Global JGRAMs are used as well. The instructor inserts as many such comment-rubrics into the document template as they wish, at any location, with whatever weight they desire. Once the student submits the paper, the grader provides feedback and grades within each JGRAM. Grading is easier and less time-consuming because each rubric, the student's corresponding work, the grade for that rubric, and the feedback are co-located. JGRAMS handles everything else automatically, including weight rationalization and summation.

Teaching Data Science By History: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion and Generalized Linear Models

Teaching Data Science By History: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion and Generalized Linear Models

Author(s): Eugene Pinsky / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Teaching data science is challenging: it is a multi- disciplinary subject that requires solid mathematical background. There are many models and approaches to consider. It is important, in our view, to present a unified approach to teaching this subject. We believe that one of the most effective ways to do so is to present historical examples. An interesting historical example that explains Generalized Linear Models in prediction is the quest by the German astronomer, Johann Kepler, at the beginning of the 17-th century to and a unifying law explaining the motion of the planets in our Solar system.
