This article aims to contribute to the ongoing and recent discussions about human rights education and presents an analysis of the State Plan of the State of São Paulo for Human Rights Education. Brazilian society, either in a declared way or in its denial. Such a debate, therefore, cannot be left out of formal education, recognizing the school space as a privileged place so that moments of reflection can be carried out around the concepts and practices, without forgetting that the school institution and its public are inserted in a given social, political, economic and cultural context. The public policy developed to promote human rights education for students in São Paulo. This is a qualitative research, based on bibliographic research. In this context, it is sought through the reading of documents on human rights, and analysis of public actions developed for the implementation of Education in Human Rights in the Paulista Curriculum.

Teaching is challenging and exciting for those who are willing to see it far beyond the transmission of content, especially when recognizing students, educators and everyone who constitutes the school and academic curricula, as sociocultural, political and historical subjects. The curriculum went through several definitions, being the subject of discussions about the theoretical-analytical perspectives and influences in the teaching and learning process, until today. In this study, we understand that the curriculum goes beyond content, activities, assessments, teaching and learning, theory and practice, mainly because it consists of a cultural artifact that encompasses the multiple identities/differences that permeate the school environment. Thus, the main objective was to problematize the discourses of Biology teachers about curriculum and the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), from the perspective of post-structuralist cultural studies. For this purpose, we conducted semi-structured interviews with eleven (11) male and female cisgender teachers, who teach Science/Biology subjects in the municipal and state public schools in Ceará. We adopted Foucauldian discourse analysis as a theoretical-analytical tool. The results showed that some/but teachers have already built a more comprehensive view of the curriculum, but the majority still do not question the universalist, content and technical discourses that underpin the BNCC. Thus, we emphasize the importance of educational public policies that encourage the (re)construction of pluralistic and democratic school curricula, not enclosed in "grids", but that contribute to the incessant sociocultural and political formation of "learners and learning subjects" beyond of scientific knowledge.

In this article, we start from the paths of a Doctoral thesis that explored the functioning of a curriculum in cyberspace, mobilizing methodological tools with elements of netnography and Foucauldianinspired discourse analysis, from a post-critical perspective. Here, our focus will be to describe how, by mobilizing these tools, we analyzed a set of videos published in the investigated curriculum. This action composes the methodological effort to consolidate an epistemological field of how to operate when analyzing the functioning of a non-school cultural curriculum. What we systematize here is not a prescription for the repetition of a formula, but seeks to function as inspiration and contribution in the construction of methodologies for curricular experimentation and invention.

The COIL project carried out between the Minuto de Dios University Corporation UNIMINUTO Antioquia Chocó Bello campus (Colombia) and the University of Arts and Sciences of Chiapas, UNICACH (Mexico) during the COVID-19 pandemic, is the rapprochement between students of the programs in social communication-journalism and a degree in languages with a tourism focus. Through an inter-institutional relationship in the area of internationalization, interculturality, soft and digital skills are strengthened in an effort to harmonize their curricula. The resulting product is the creation of audiovisuals about linguistics, traditions and customs of their places of origin, within the framework of sociolinguistics and language subjects.

We present a mixed-signal spiking neural networks processor with 8-bit synaptic weight on-chip learning in 40 nm CMOS that consists of a 10k mixed-signal synapse circuit and 100 analog leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron circuits. The processor has no clock signal except in peripheral circuits for I/O, and neuron and synapse circuits can operate asynchronously in the continuous-time domain, just like biological neurons. We demonstrate the energy efficiency of 6.24–18.7 TOPS/W in a multitarget spike learning task.

The article presents the quantitative and qualitative results of the state of the art of educational robotics, based on information obtained from the Theses and Dissertations Catalog of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel – Capes, Periódicos Capes and SciELO (between 2012 and 2021). Discursive textual analysis (DTA) was used, in which two categories emerged from the completion of the process and from the interpretations and impressions of the readings: i) Educational Robotics: possibilities for the development of scientific literacy and ii) Educational Robotics: collaborating for the effectiveness of active learning. The results show that educational robotics, when inserted in the school curriculum, allows students to appropriate the most diverse knowledge in an integrated way, fostering creativity, autonomy, discovery and investigation, thus contributing to a possible realization of scientific literacy. Educational robotics contributes to the implementation of innovative practices, enabling the development of students in an active, autonomous and responsible way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this article is to produce a reflection on the profanation as a way of operating with contents of religious dimension in religious teaching classes. It follows a methodology of essay writing, which takes into account the approximation of borders (in this case the concepts and materialities used for this). For this it presents a brief systematization of the concept of desecration, and broadens it for the idea of pedagogical profanation in order to problematize that in school it is possible to desecrate the contents, make them open and accessible to be studied as a matter of school study, the from curricular instigations to the component. In a second moment, we seek to analyze some records of possible pedagogical profiles in religious teaching classes, through articles, summaries and posters documented in the annals of the congresses and seminars promote by the Permanent National Forum of Religious Education – Fonaper. It is concluded by stating that there are relations between the concept of profanation and some practices of non-confessional religious teaching and that it is fundamental to exploit and expand debates as this in order to problematize the theoretical and practical assumptions of religious teaching curricula.

This article originated from a research project, submitted to Plataforma Brasil and approved by the Research Ethics Committee – CNPq. The objective of this work is to present and problematize the experiences and pedagogical practices narrated by twenty-seven teachers who work in Basic Education, public and private, in the city of Caxias (MA), during the Covid-19 Pandemic, a period in which they developed their activities. EAD/remote pedagogical practices. This fabric, with a qualitative approach, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, presents three categories of analysis: I - Pedagogical/emotional/psychological monitoring; II - Social and professional appreciation of the teacher in the pandemic context; III - Personal and professional aspects in a post-pandemic perspective. The discussions, analyzes and syntheses, given from the narratives of the professionals interviewed, exchanged with a critical theoretical contribution, denote the lack of professional appreciation, the invisibility, accountability, heteronomy and intensification of the precariousness of the work of teachers. as in the pandemic social context, having as a background, the imposition of “a reinvention of pedagogical practice”, through an instrumental technological rationality, which represents a given conception of education and human formation.

In response to problems in the centralized storage of personal resumes on third-party recruitment platforms, such as inadequate privacy protection, inability of individuals to accurately authorize downloads, and inability to determine who downloaded the resume and when, this study proposes a blockchain-based framework for secure storage and sharing of resumes. Users can employ an authorized access mechanism to protect their privacy rights. The proposed framework uses smart contracts, interplanetary file system, symmetric encryption, and digital signatures to protect, verify, and share resumes. Encryption keys are split and stored in multiple depositories through secret-sharing technology to improve the security of these keys. Corresponding key escrow incentives are implemented using smart contracts to automatically verify the correctness of keys and encourage the active participation of honest key escrow parties. This framework combines blockchain and searchable symmetric encryption technology to realize multi-keyword search using inverted indexing and Bloom filters and verify search results on the chain. Escrow search service fees are charged through contracts. Only after the search results are verified can the search service provider obtain the search fee, thus ensuring fair and efficient search for encrypted resumes. The framework is decentralized, secure, and tamper-evident, and achieves controlled sharing while protecting personal privacy and information security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an effective learning multi-spike deep spiking neural network with temporal feedback backpropagation for breast cancer detection using contrast-enhanced MRI images. The learning in the spiking network is a new universal temporal feedback called Temporal_Feedback_SpikeProp (TF_SpikeProp) and Temporal_Feedback_ReSuMe (TF_ReSuMe). Thus, it can be implemented on all kinds of algorithms such as MultiSpikeProp and MultiReSuMe algorithms and is compatible with all temporal codings. The presented spiking network is a functional network with high accuracy and convergence in low epochs. The new algorithm explores the influence of all presynaptic neurons on the output error and reduces the role of inactive neurons. Therefore, the error propagation of the spiking network is such that it affects not only the spike time of each neuron in the output spike time, but also the refractory time and the presynaptic spikes of the neuron during the spiking time of the output neuron. The spiking network can correct and adjust the weights, spike delay, spike threshold, and also the time constant of the spike collection kernel. In order to diagnose cancer tissue, time–frequency features such as STFT and packet wavelet transform (WPT) have been used along with texture recognition features such as co-occurrence matrix. The presented network achieved an accuracy of 98.3% in 23 epochs in SpikeProp algorithm, 97.4% in ReSuMe with Duke MRI dataset, 98.64% on MNIST, and 96.1% on Iris. The results have shown that the training algorithm used in this study can achieve high accuracy in low epochs compared to traditional algorithms, while solving the challenge of getting stuck in local minima and poor convergence, as well as reducing the problem of time confusion of output spikes to an acceptable level and providing a fully functional network in practice and reality.

The article identifies the permanence of a certain anti-scientific and anti-pedagogical behavior in the discursive production of Physical Education, especially in the hasty and mistaken transposition of concepts from the educational sciences. It resorts to poststructuralist arguments to problematize the indiscriminate use of the notion of approach to refer to teaching theories in the area. Aware that such a regime of truth enjoys hegemony, it resorts to the critical attitude proposed by Michel Foucault, through which it signals inconsistencies, at least when considering the genesis of the concept. As an alternative, it presents the notion of curriculum as more adequate and powerful to theorize the pedagogical work carried out in schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many general hospitals have been transformed into designated infectious disease care facilities, where a large number of patients with COVID-19 infections have been treated and discharged. With declines in the number of hospitalizations, a major question for our healthcare systems, especially for these designated facilities, is how to safely resume hospital function after these patients have been discharged. Here, we take a designated COVID-19-care facility in Wuhan, China, as an example to share our experience in resuming hospital function while ensuring the safety of patients and medical workers. After more than 1200 patients with COVID-19 infections were discharged in late March, 2020, our hospital resumed function by setting up a three-level hospital infection management system with four grades of risk of exposure. Moreover, we also took measures to ensure the safety of medical personnel in different departments including clinics, wards, and operation rooms. After all patients with COVID-19 infections were discharged, during the five months of regular function from April to September in 2020, no positive cases have been found among more than 40,000 people in our hospital, including hospital staff and patients.

This study uses the samba-enredo História de ninar gente grande, from the Rio de Janeiro Samba School Estação Primeira de Mangueira (2019), and the funk Céu de pipa, composed by MC Marks (2020), as possible historical sources to think about protagonism. black and its silencing in the formal official curriculum. Objective to investigate cultural practices in the learning of historical knowledge and all educational actions that promote a social education/2003, whose social exegesis of the line10. To this end, it makes use of the theoretical key opened by Thornton (2004) on Africa and Africans in the formation of the Atlantic World, as well as studies on anti-racist education. Regarding the methodological aspect, a qualitative approach is favored, predominantly with a procedural contribution in the analysis of literal content and in the concept of historical culture, as resources for a critical and holistic reading of musical styles. The results indicate paths for anti-racist curricular practices based on the use of musical poetics in the teaching of history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is part of the research under development in the Masters in Communication and Society at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) and intends to verify in the curriculum of Journalism courses at federal public universities in Brazil if there is a proposal for entrepreneurial training through the offer of disciplines focused on entrepreneurship. The methodological approach used is bibliographic and documentary, involves descriptive analysis of a quantitative and qualitative nature. We were able to verify that, of the 40 federal institutions that have the Journalism course in the country, 35, that is, 87.5% have material with content related to entrepreneurship. Of these, 27 universities have the subject in their curriculum as mandatory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines how and why 20 instructors (17 tenure-line and 3 nontenure-line) in introductory service courses enact their pedagogical values and address current concerns (e.g., personal branding, LinkedIn, and applicant tracking systems) when teaching résumés and cover letters. Research methods included a demographics survey, qualitative interviews, and critical discourse analysis of assignment sheets and deidentified student examples. Results provide an opportunity to renegotiate gaps between Business and Professional Communication's research and pedagogical methods, shifting from overemphasizing formatting and checklists and toward understanding job applications as workplace genre ecologies to encourage deeper learning.

Based on the textual data of the resumes of 499 high-level talents, this study attempts to explore the factors affecting the selection and funding of high-level talents in western China. From the empirical analysis, we found that (1) the western Chinese government tends to favor the young and native talents, with a high initial academic degree (the degree obtained before working) and final academic degree (the highest degree obtained); (2) the talents with more experience, higher education, national talent titles, and participation in national projects are more likely to receive higher levels of funding; (3) it is easier for talents in universities and research institutes to be entitled as high-level talents and to gain funding than those in enterprises; and (4) talents in the fields of medicine, agronomy, and basic sciences are more likely to be entitled as high-level talents than those in other professional fields.

The intense process of slavery in Brazil publication to the exclusion of Afro-Brazilian and African populations, who created the resistance to survive the barbarism of the slave system. Just like yesterday, today the African peoples and their descendants in the Diaspora are challenged to re-exist in a scenario of denial of basic rights. This article reflects on the denial of quilombola memory and history in official curricula. Initially, it examines the possibilities of an intercultural curriculum for promoting quilombola history and culture in school contexts. Then, it presents the narratives of the residents of the remaining community of Alto do Tamanduá as possible paths for the dialogue with the quilombola memory. Furthermore, it analyzes the conditions of access to education in the community, based on the legal rules of Quilombola School Education. The study is based on the methodology of Oral History, with the use of identification, being part of an investigation at the master's level within the scope of ProfEPT / Ifal, which resulted in the conclusion of a documentary video with the social memories of the whole community. Without intending to end the reflections, it indicates other paths for the inclusion of quilombola memory in curricula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Skills extraction is a critical task when creating job recommender systems. It is also useful for building skills profiles and skills knowledge bases for organizations. The aim of skills extraction is to identify the skills expressed in documents such as resumes or job postings. Several methods have been proposed to tackle this problem. These methods already perform well when it comes to extracting explicitly mentioned skills from resumes. But skills have different levels of abstraction: high-level skills can be determined by low-level ones. Instead of just extracting skill-related terms, we propose a multi-label classification architecture model based on convolutional neural networks to predict high-level skills from resumes even if they are not explicitly mentioned in these resumes. Experiments carried out on a set of anonymous IT resumes collected from the Internet have shown the effectiveness of our method reaching 98.79% of recall and 91.34% of precision. In addition, features (terms) detected by convolutional filters are projected on the input resumes in order to present to the user, the terms which contributed to the model decision.

Resumes are critical for individuals to find jobs and for HR to select staffs. To explore the career patterns and demographic information correlation, 372,829 Chinese resumes working in Beijing in 2015 are collected with rich attributes. Besides, 1,837,281 documents in the People's Daily from May 1946 to December 2015 and the national college entrance examination scores of 42 majors in 27 Beijing universities from 2005 to 2015 are collected to build the multi-source dataset to assist resume data mining. The decade characteristics and major characteristics are explored from the multi-source dataset. Based on the data observation, an interactive visualization system called ResumeVis is developed to explore career patterns in the context of the times, especially the correlations among the resume attributes. The system is helpful for both job seekers and human resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
