New Model of Heteroasociative min Memory Robust to Acquisition Noise

Associative memories in min and max algebra are of great interest for pattern recognition. One property of these is that they are one-shot, that is, in an attempt they converge to the solution without having to iterate. These memories have proven to be very efficient, but they manifest some weakness with mixed noise. If an appropriate kernel is not used, that is, a subset of the pattern to be recalled that is not affected by noise, memories fail noticeably. A possible problem for building kernels with sufficient conditions, using binary and gray-scale images, is not knowing how the noise is registered in these images. A solution to this problem is presented by analyzing the behavior of the acquisition noise. What is new about this analysis is that, noise can be mapped to a distance obtained by a distance transform. Furthermore, this analysis provides the basis for a new model of min heteroassociative memory that is robust to the acquisition/mixed noise. The proposed model is novel because min associative memories are typically inoperative to mixed noise. The new model of heteroassocitative memory obtains very interesting results with this type of noise.

Using Custom-Built, Small-Scale Educational Solutions to Teach Qualitative Research Literacy

This chapter considers ways in which educators can create their own educational applications to integrate into their teaching. It is argued that interactive uses of technology can aid student engagement and encourage uptake of skills presented to them. Today, tools available allow everyone to create not only static websites, but also functional applications. It is possible to get started without knowing how to code, empowering anyone with an interest in technology to become a creator. While these no and low code solutions may come with some restrictions, they may encourage users to explore more traditional ways to engage with code and its possibilities for teaching. The chapter aims to encourage readers to look at technology as a creative practice to include into their teaching. It suggests strategies to help readers select the most appropriate tool for their projects.

Writing a Novella to Introduce Tourism Objects in Palembang

This research was aimed at knowing how to write a novella entitled “Allied” to promote several tourism destinations in Palembang. In research, the researchers used research and development (R&D) method. The researchers conducted two steps of R&D method: (1) preliminary study, which involved literature study, field study, and product drafting, and (2) model development, which were limited testing and wider testing. The researchers implemented these steps by developing the product. The data were collected from observation and interview in preliminary study step. In model development, the draft of novella regarding the language, structure of sentence, and the content of the story was revised by several experts. The novella was written in English by using Final Draft as the software of writing a story. The story was wrapped in action genre by bringing some mystery in tourism destinations in Palembang that would entertain and educate the readers at the same time. Additionally, in writing a novella entitled “Allied” there were three steps that were conducted with R&D method by Sukmadinata (2015) which the steps were linked to the sixth steps of writing a story by Grenville (2001): Getting Ideas, Choosing, Outlining, Drafting, Revising, and Editing.

Entre lugares e sujeitos da EJA: Mulheres erveiras e os seus saberes culturais no Ver-o-Peso

Objetiva-se, neste texto, discorrer sobre os ensinos e as aprendizagens vivenciadas por cinco mulheres erveiras que trabalham no Ver-o-Peso. Ao tratar-se de lugares da EJA (Educação de jovens e adultos) pontuam-se os cotidianos familiar e de trabalho em que são vivenciados ensinos e aprendizagens e são compartilhados saberes culturais. Diante disso, pondera-se que este trabalho resultou de uma pesquisa de mestrado no Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade do Estado do Pará PPGED - UEPA, realizada no período de 2018 a 2020. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, com abordagem qualitativa (MINAYO, 2009); observação in loco (MINAYO, 1994) e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Na sistematização e na análise dos dados foram construídas categorias analíticas e temáticas (OLIVEIRA; MOTA NETO, 2011). A construção das categorias teve como referência técnicas da análise de conteúdo, (BARDIN, 2011). Diante disso, a pesquisa indicou os seguintes resultados: no processo de manipulação das ervas medicinais destaca-se a conexão entre corpo e mente, nos momentos saber identificar, diferenciar e combinar raízes, cascas e suas propriedades medicinais, pela textura, pela cor, pelo aroma e pelo formato.

When dealing with EJA (Youth and Adult Education) places, the family and work routines are highlighted in which teaching and learning are experienced and cultural knowledge is shared. Therefore, it is considered that this work resulted from a master's research in the Postgraduate Program in Education of the State University of Pará PPGED - UEPA, carried out from 2018 to 2020. It is a field research, with a qualitative approach, (MINAYO, 2009); observation in loco (MINAYO, 1994) and semi-structured interviews. In the systematization and analysis of data, analytical and thematic categories were built (OLIVEIRA; MOTA NETO, 2011). The construction of the categories was based on technical content analysis (BARDIN, 2011). Therefore, the research indicated the following results: in the process of handling medicinal herbs, the connection between body and mind stands out, at times knowing how to identify, knowing how to differentiate and combine roots, bark and leaves and their medicinal properties, by texture, by color, by aroma, by shape. The teachings and learning experienced by them occur through orality, written record, observation, and gestures. Thus, teachings, learning and knowledge constitute the autonomy of being women herb handlers, referring to memory, family inheritance, and material support, from work in the herb sector.Keywords: Youth and Adult Education; Cultural Knowledge; Women herb handlers.Entre lugares y temas de EJA: Herbolarias y sus conocimientos culturales en Ver-o-PesoRESUMENEl objetivo de este texto es discutir las enseñanzas y el aprendizaje experimentado por cinco mujeres herbolarias que trabajan en Ver-o-Peso.

Know-How, Performance Enhancement, and Guidance Control

If intellectualism about knowledge-how is true (and so, if knowledge-how is a species of knowledge-that), then to the extent that we need an autonomy condition on know-how, it will be (simply) an autonomy condition on know-that: a condition on propositional knowledge-apt belief. However, the anti-intellectualist—according to whom know-how is fundamentally dispositional rather than propositional—would need an entirely different story here––one that places an autonomy-related restriction not on propositional-knowledge-apt belief but, instead, on know-how-apt dispositions. Chapter 4 develops exactly this kind of restriction, by cobbling together some ideas about know-how and virtue epistemology with recent thinking in the moral responsibility literature about freedom, responsibility, and manipulation. The proposal is that one is in a state of knowing how to do something, φ‎, only if one has the skill to φ‎ successfully with guidance control, and one’s φ‎-ing exhibits guidance control (and furthermore, manifests know-how) only if one’s φ‎-ing is caused by a reasons-responsive mechanism that one owns. Unsurprisingly, the devil is in these details—and this chapter aims to spell them out in a way that rules out certain kinds of radical performance enhancing cases while not ruling out that, say, one knows how to do a maths problem when one’s performance is just mildly boosted by Adderall.

Does Personality Shape COVID-19 Responses in Older Adults?

Knowing how personality plays out in a pandemic can provide guidance to improve public health messaging. In a sample of 2066 participants (Mage = 51.42; 48.5% female), we examined whether personality is associated with concerns, precautions, preparations, and duration estimates of the COVID-19 pandemic. Personality traits were measured before the pandemic; responses were assessed in late March 2020. We investigated whether age moderates the trait-response associations because older adults are at higher risk for severe complications of COVID-19. Among the 65-96-year-olds, higher conscientiousness was associated with more preparations, higher openness was associated with greater concerns, and both higher openness and agreeableness were related to more preparations and longer duration estimates. This pattern has implications: If all older adults took COVID-19 seriously, individual differences in personality should not matter; however, our findings indicate that they do matter and could be considered in the development of personality-tailored communication to older adults.
