Networks of idealization, stalking and planning of the violence reflected in university students of the center of Mexico

El artículo parte de la premisa de que una red neuronal supone un aprendizaje que el presente trabajo se propuso develar como asimetrías entre narrativas de violencia sexista. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo e interpretativo con una selección intencional de estudiantes en una Institución de Educación Superior (IES) pública del centro de México. Se develó una estructura contemplativa, considerando los pesos sinápticos que explicaron la relación entre la entrada, procesamiento y salida de unidades de idealización, contemplación y planificación del conflicto. Se sugieren líneas de investigación relativas a la estructura de relaciones entre las categorías.A neural network supposes a learning that the present work set out to reveal as asymmetries between narratives of sexist violence.

Purposes, concepts, misfits, and a redesign of git

Git is a widely used version control system that is powerful but complicated. Its complexity may not be an inevitable consequence of its power but rather evidence of flaws in its design. To explore this hypothesis, we analyzed the design of Git using a theory that identifies concepts, purposes, and misfits. Some well-known difficulties with Git are described, and explained as misfits in which underlying concepts fail to meet their intended purpose. Based on this analysis, we designed a reworking of Git (called Gitless) that attempts to remedy these flaws. To correlate misfits with issues reported by users, we conducted a study of Stack Overflow questions. And to determine whether users experienced fewer complications using Gitless in place of Git, we conducted a small user study. Results suggest our approach can be profitable in identifying, analyzing, and fixing design problems.SUTD-MIT International Design Centre (IDC

A Global Comparative Study of Online Auction Markets

Online auctions have demonstrated how e-commerce can transform business, and not merely transplanting conventional processes to a new medium. The resulting emergence and growth of diverse markets pose the intriguing question of what ‘shape’ a given market is in at a particular moment of development. The approach of Topological Analysis, which is based on the Star Plot method in data visualization, provides such a model using only operational data, without any expert knowledge of the specific auction market, or financial details from the transactions. Using extensive analysis of data available on eBay.com, the foremost online auction platform to date, a global comparative study of four markets in eight countries is conducted. The results shed light on the evolution of electronic markets, as well as their regional and cultural variations
