Abstract

The present study brings as theme the relations of power and gender in High Command of Military Police of Minas Gerais Estate. The main goal of this study is to comprehend how police women, who occupy leading positions in the administrative departments of Military Police of Minas Gerais, cognize the expressions of relations of power and gender inside that Institution. This study was theoretically grounded on relations of power and the strands of analyzes about power and the relations of gender in the military environment. The methodical arrangement was guided by a qualitative and descriptive approach based on a case study of Military Police of Minas Gerais. Then the information was analyzed based on four dimensions: The relations of power in the administrative departments of Military Police of Minas Gerais; relations of gender experienced by women; female work in the male space; and survival strategies and consolidation of woman’s power. Among the results found, stands out the continuous presence of subtle and complex relations, which cover power and gender in the institution, a fact that creates the constant need of self-assertion of policewomen, once the female figure in the police needs to excel in their functions all the time, searching acceptance on the same level as that given to a male figure.

10. Increasing Global Mindset through Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL): Internationalizing the Undergraduate International Business Class

Author

Garcia, Fernando, Smith, Stephen Ray, Burger, Amy, and Helms, Marilyn

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to provide a case example of two partner institutions and business faculty who creatively used a collaborative online international learning (COIL) experience during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and transition to online learning to internationalize an undergraduate business class and use existing technology to offer a case study project to further students' global mindset. Design/methodology/approach: Using open-ended qualitative comments from an American college and a Peruvian university, researchers uncovered key themes from a virtual COIL-based learning experience offered as part of an international business class. Findings: Student end-of-course evaluation comments from both countries validated the success of the learning experience and value of working together with other students and faculty in a virtual setting. Research limitations/implications: Areas for future research are provided to extend these initial exploratory findings. However, the implications are clear that the methodology is also appropriate in nonpandemic situations and can quickly bring a global mindset to remote corners of the globe and ensure all students experience the "virtual" study abroad, even when there are travel limitations or budget restrictions for students or the institutions. Practical implications: The implementation detail provided can be easily replicated by other institutions with a global mindset and internationalization goals. Social implications: The proliferation of COIL-based experiences will impact how study abroad experiences are defined and offered in the future. Originality/value: While researchers have documented COIL experiences in the academic literature, their use during the COVID-19 pandemic, as often the only solution for on-going internationalization, has not been thoroughly studied or documented. In addition, the class activities further used team-based international workplace pedagogy, authentic engagement and technology.

17. Understanding the role of ATM in neutrophil development and activity

Author

Ponce Garcia, Fernando Manuel and Amulic, Borko

Abstract

Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell and the first line of defence against pathogens. Their development is characterised by the compaction and lobulation of their nuclei. They have a wide variety of mechanisms to clear out pathogens and defects in their development or activity result in severe immunodeficiency. To better understand neutrophil function, we analysed ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), a genetic recessive disease caused by mutations in ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene. A-T patients suffer from increased susceptibility to bacterial infections and malignancies. ATM is involved in chromatin double strand break repair and has been shown to be necessary for the development of B- and T-cells. However, little is known about the role of ATM in neutrophil biology. Based on the immunodeficiency observed in A-T patients, we hypothesised ATM might regulate neutrophil development and/or function. We established a CRISPR/Cas9 ATM knockout (ATM-/-) and inducible ATM shRNA knockdown cell line, which we differentiated into a neutrophil-like cell. We tested the antimicrobial capacity of the cell line as well as primary neutrophils treated with an ATM inhibitor and found a decreased ability to kill Staphyloccocus aureus in both systems. To understand the mechanism behind this phenotype, we compared differentiation from precursors as well as different antimicrobial responses in both WT and ATM-/- cells. We found increased expression of CD11b and decreased expression of C-type lectin receptors, indicating developmental disturbances as well as reduced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NETs. Increased CD11b surface marker expression was confirmed in neutrophils from A-T patients. These differences were related to dysregulated transcription and nuclear organisation in ATM deficient cells, implicating ATM in neutrophil chromatin regulation. In conclusion, we identified ATM as a regulator of neutrophil development and antimicrobial activity, and a potential therapeutic target in immunodeficiency or inflammatory disease.

18. Harnessing Bayesian optimisation for quantum information processing

Author

Garcia, Fernando and Müller, Markus

Abstract

Achieving precise control over quantum systems has groundbreaking ap-plications, such as simulating complex quantum systems, or implementing quantum algorithms with an improved efficiency over classical algorithms. Quantum computing has been under development for the last decades, re-sulting in the so-called Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices with about 50 qubits. While these devices are built with the purpose of achieving practical advantages over classical processors, they are vulnerable to noise sources. In order to account for error sources, one needs to im-plement Quantum Error Correction (QEC) techniques. These techniques protect quantum information by encoding a logical qubit into several phys-ical ones. For the implementation of NISQ devices and QEC techniques, it is vital to keep improving the quantum operations and states involved. Here we develop calibration protocols based on the application of Bayesian inference. We show their advantages compared to the more traditional frequentist approaches, such as their ability to maximise the information gained with each measurement, or their straightforward automation. In our first line of research, we develop a Bayesian protocol for the correction of unwanted phases appearing in the experimental preparation of Steane code states. This protocol requires 13 times less measurements than the frequentist approach. In our second line of research, we develop a proto-col for locking a laser to the qubit transition frequency in a trapped-ion architecture. This calibration is vital, since the correct implementation of single-qubit gates depends on it. In our final line of research, we study the Mølmer-Sørensen entangling gate, used in trapped-ion systems. First we introduce the calibration parameters, and derive a semianalytical model of the effects of one of them, for which there was no previous analytical understanding. Finally, we develop a Bayesian protocol for the calibration of these parameters, which was successfully implemented and tested in an experimental trapped-ion quantum processor.

32. Exploring the Role of Women as Validating Agents for Latino Men in Their Transfer Success

Author

Vasquez, Marissa C., de Jesus Gonzalez, Ángel, Cataño, Yolanda, and Garcia, Fernando

Abstract

This phenomenological study explored the ways women served as validating agents for Latino men who had transferred from a community college to a four-year institution. Informed by Rendón's theory of validation, participants expressed numerous ways in which women figures (e.g., mothers, sisters, significant others) were sources of validation across their pre and post transfer experience. Findings yielded the need for increased involvement of women in men of color initiatives, compensation for emotional labor performed by women, and engagement opportunities for women family members. The authors provide recommendations for research and practice.

33. Parenting Styles and Its Relations with Personal and Social Adjustment beyond Adolescence: Is the Current Evidence Enough?

Author

Gimenez-Serrano, Sofia, Garcia, Fernando, and Garcia, Oscar F.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between parenting styles (authoritarian, indulgent, authoritative, and neglectful) and its relations with personal and social adjustment beyond adolescence. Participants were 2131 Spanish children, divided into adolescents (n = 616), young adults (n = 606), middle-aged adults (n = 502) and older adults (n = 407). A MANOVA (4 x 2 x 4) with parenting style, sex and age as independent variables was applied. Personal adjustment criteria were emotional and physical self-concept, and nervousness, while social adjustment criteria were internalization of social values and hostile sexism. The indulgent and authoritative parenting styles showed better socialization outcomes in all adjustment criteria across all children ages. However, children from indulgent families scored higher on emotional self-concept and lower on hostile sexism and nervousness than those from authoritative families. These findings seriously question whether strictness parenting dimension is necessary not only during the parental socialization (for adolescent children) but also beyond adolescence (for adult children), once parental socialization is over.

40. Securing guest kernels and enhancing host resource utilization in cloud computing systems

Author

Vano-Garcia, Fernando

Abstract

Cloud computing has completely changed our lives. This technology is one of the building blocks of our modern society and it dramatically impacted on how we play, work and live. It has been widely adopted in many sectors mainly because it reduces the cost of performing tasks in a flexible, scalable and reliable way. However, all of these benefits also come with threats. Since this technology is core for our society, it is also a very rewarding target for attackers and therefore it is imperative to have secure cloud systems. To offer secure cloud services, vendors and providers must safeguard their infrastructure with up-to-date defenses and countermeasures to ensure the provision of high levels of protection, enabling users and consumers to enjoy their services as securely as possible. Unfortunately, the application of certain security mechanisms at infrastructure level can lead to the reduction of the efficient use of hardware resources, such as inefficient memory utilization. Therefore, in some cases security mechanisms cannot be easily combined with other optimization mechanisms and techniques used to obtain more profit of the existing resources. When this occurs, providers are forced to undertake actions that impact performance and to use their resources inefficiently in order to keep security [1–3]. In other cases, priority is given to resource optimization, thereby compromising security [4–6]. This thesis makes contributions to overcome existing barriers that prevent the secure and efficient utilization of memory resources in cloud environments. Memory deduplication is an important memory saving technique particularly desired in cloud environments because it is capable of reducing memory footprint across virtual machines. Unfortunately, it is known that it can introduce security problems through side channels. To overcome this problem and to enable the use of the memory saving technique, we propose Slicedup, a memory deduplication design that prevents side-channel attacks in multi-tenant cloud systems. As described in Chapter 4, Slicedup allows cloud providers to secure the use of memory deduplication, increasing the profit of existing memory resources and decreasing the total cost of managing and ownership. Kernel randomization is an essential and widely used security technique that consists in placing kernel memory regions at random locations to hinder the successful exploitation of vulnerabilities that rely on knowing valid addresses. Unfortunately, its use in cloud environments produces alterations in memory contents, leading to a breakage of memory sharing and, consequently, to a higher memory consumption. In Chapter 5, after analyzing the problem and its causes in detail, we propose KASLR-MT, a new kernel randomization design for multi-tenant cloud systems compatible with memory deduplication that maximizes memory savings rate while providing a strong security. Afterwards, Chapter 6 presents the evolution and the next steps of this security technique, and we extend the effectiveness of KASLR-MT to include support for a finer granularity to include protection against info-leaks. Concerning the security of important components of the kernel, the availability of high quality entropy is critical and necessary to ensure that such security mechanisms operate correctly and without any weakness that could compromise their effectiveness. Unfortunately, it is unfeasible to generate true randomness by running deterministic algorithms in computers. As a consequence, obtaining high quality entropy is still a challenge, specially at boot time. In Chapter 7, after analyzing the boot-time entropy starvation problem, we propose E-Boot, a novel technique that provides high-quality random numbers to guest virtual machines, being the first technique that completely satisfies the entropy demand of virtualized boot-loaders and operating systems at boot time. As a result of this research, we provide important advantages to the efficiency of environments based on virtualization technologies such as multi-tenant cloud computing systems, which are the foundation of most of the services we currently use on a daily basis and for which we strongly depend.
