Pensar la escuela desde la accesibilidad universal y la complejidad. abolir las fronteras, los eufemismos y los estigmas

El núcleo de este trabajo tiene como finalidad la construcción de una escuela para todos. Se analizan críticamente las políticas de integración y sus limitaciones, a partir de brindar dos herramientas conceptuales que posibilitan otra mirada de la problemática: la accesibilidad universal y la complejidad de todos los acontecimientos sociales. Se postula terminar con lecturas e intervenciones desde lógicas excluyentes, como la lógica de la frontera, que separa, excluye y deja de otro lado a determinados colectivos humanos; para pensar e intervenir desde una lógica inclusiva, desde la lógica de la accesibilidad universal. A la vez que se termina con toda designación estigmatizante, se reconocen las diferencias (sociales, culturales, subjetivas) y los límites (orgánicos), y se interviene a partir de las fortalezas, y no del déficit.

El boicot de Facundo o la institución del boicot

“El boicot de Facundo o la institución del boicot” constituye un caso real analizado en marco de una investigación realizada en Argentina. El trabajo gira en torno a la deconstrucción del caso a partir de diversas dimensiones de análisis desde una perspectiva compleja, con el propósito de identificar los componentes causales de la trama de producción de violencia en el espacio escolar y la propia lógica de construcción del mismo. Componentes causales que se inter-relacionan e inter-retroaccionan en el contexto de la trama del propio proceso de construcción de las prácticas institucionalizadas; y componentes causales que podrán marcar las líneas de trabajo, para plantear estrategias y/o proyectos específicos de prevención de violencia en el espacio escolar

Preliminary assesment of efficiency of telemicroscopy system for distance diagnosis of leishmaniasis in Paraguay

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is endemic in rural areas of Paraguay, and mainly due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. In a country where few experts and little resources are available, the means for many people to access to specialized diagnosis and verifying interpretations remain prohibitive. Telemicroscopy networks enable to overcome these limitations through remote interpretation of images and data, expert teleconsultation and proficiency testing (5-15).CONACYT – Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y TecnologíaPROCIENCI

Digital Twins: Review and Challenges

[EN] With the arises of Industry 4.0, numerous concepts have emerged; one of the main concepts is the digital twin (DT). DT is being widely used nowadays, however, as there are several uses in the existing literature; the understanding of the concept and its functioning can be diffuse. The main goal of this paper is to provide a review of the existing literature to clarify the concept, operation, and main characteristics of DT, to introduce the most current operating, communication, and usage trends related to this technology, and to present the performance of the synergy between DT and multi-agent system (MAS) technologies through a computer science approach.This work was partly supported by the Spanish Government (RTI2018-095390-B-C31)Juárez-Juárez, MG.; Botti, V.; Giret Boggino, AS.

Non-identical parallel machines batch processing problem with release dates, due dates and variable maintenance activity to minimize total tardiness

[EN] Combination of job scheduling and maintenance activity has been widely investigated in the literature. We consider a non-identical parallel machines batch processing (BP) problem with release dates, due dates and variable maintenance activity to minimize total tardiness. An original mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is formulated to provide an optimal solution. As the problem under investigation is known to be strongly NP-hard, two meta-heuristic approaches based on Simulated Annealing (SA) and Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) are developed. A constructive heuristic method (H) is proposed to generate initial feasible solutions for the SA and VNS. In order to evaluate the results of the proposed solution approaches, a set of instances were randomly generated. Moreover, we compare the performance of our proposed approaches against four meta heuristic algorithms adopted from the literature. The obtained results indicate that the proposed solution methods have a competitive behaviour and they outperform the other meta-heuristics in most instances. Although in all cases, H + SA is the most performing algorithm compared to the others.Beldar, P.; Moghtader, M.; Giret Boggino, AS.; Ansaripoord, AH. (2022).

Dynamic shop floor re-scheduling approach inspired by a neuroendocrine regulation mechanism

[EN] With the development of the market globalisation trend and increasing customer orientation, many uncertainties have entered into the manufacturing context. To create an agile response to the emergence of and change in conditions, this article presents a dynamic shop floor re-scheduling approach inspired by a neuroendocrine regulation mechanism. The dynamic re-scheduling function is the result of cooperation among several autonomous bio-inspired manufacturing cells with computing power and optimisation capabilities. The dynamic re-scheduling model is designed based on hormone regulation principles to agilely respond to the frequent occurrence of unexpected disturbances at the shop floor level. The cooperation mechanisms of the dynamic re-scheduling model are described in detail, and a test bed is set up to simulate and verify the dynamic re-scheduling approach. The results verify that the proposed method is able to improve the performances and enhance the stability of a manufacturing systemThis research was sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) under Grant No. 51175262 and No. 61105114 and the Jiangsu Province Science Foundation for Excellent Youths under Grant BK20121011.

Einstein metrics: Homogeneous solvmanifolds, generalised Heisenberg groups and Black Holes

In this paper we construct Einstein spaces with negative Ricci curvature in various dimensions. These spaces -- which can be thought of as generalised AdS spacetimes -- can be classified in terms of the geometry of the horospheres in Poincare-like coordinates, and can be both homogeneous and static. By using simple building blocks, which in general are homogeneous Einstein solvmanifolds, we give a general algorithm for constructing Einstein metrics where the horospheres are any product of generalised Heisenberg geometries, nilgeometries, solvegeometries, or Ricci-flat manifolds. Furthermore, we show that all of these spaces can give rise to black holes with the horizon geometry corresponding to the geometry of the horospheres, by explicitly deriving their metrics.Comment: 17 page

mWater prototype #3 analysis and design

In themWater case study prototype #3 it has been used Magentix2 [1, 24, 3, 22, 4, 17] (for more details on Magentix2 see WP7 Deliverables) as the MAS platform for supporting the execution of the MAS system. The platform follows the FIPA standards [14] offering a set of useful mechanisms for the agents to communicate and also tools to allow programming agents in a high level language based on the BDI model. Magentix2 is an open system which facilitates the interaction between heterogeneous agents through FIPA-ACL messages. Also complex interactions can be carried out in a flexible an open way as conversations. The platform offers special structures to allow to use such conversations by considering a set of issues: In each conversation there are always two roles involved: Initiator and Participant. The first is the one who initiates the conversation, and the rest of agents play the Participant role. The conversation can be seen as a direct graph where nodes represent the actions to perform in each step of the conversation and arcs represent the transition between such states. Those steps allow to perform some actions and they can be of different kinds, for example: Begin, Final, Wait, Send, Receive, Action, etc. Conversations have a unique identifier that allows to manage them individually. 1Botti Navarro, VJ.; Garrido Tejero, A.; Giret Boggino, AS.; Noriega, P.; Bexi, A.

A hormone regulation based approach for distributed and on-line scheduling of machines and automated guided vehicles

[EN] With the continuous innovation of technology, automated guided vehicles are playing an increasingly important role on manufacturing systems. Both the scheduling of operations on machines as well as the scheduling of automated guided vehicles are essential factors contributing to the efficiency of the overall manufacturing systems. In this article, a hormone regulation¿based approach for on-line scheduling of machines and automated guided vehicles within a distributed system is proposed. In a real-time environment, the proposed approach assigns emergent tasks and generates feasible schedules implementing a task allocation approach based on hormonal regulation mechanism. This approach is tested on two scheduling problems in literatures. The results from the evaluation show that the proposed approach improves the scheduling quality compared with state-of-the-art on-line and off-line approaches.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This research was sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) under grant nos 51175262 and 51575264 and the Jiangsu Province Science Foundation for Excellent Youths under grant no.

Geometría hiperbólica I. Movimientos rígidos y rectas hiperbólicas

El objeto de estas notas es presentar y estudiar un modelo de geometría hiperbólica: el llamado plano hiperbólico o semiplano superior de Poincaré (ver Georretrías no Euclidianas, Revista de Educación Matemática, vol. 1, N° 3). Debemos destacar que la presentación no es la de la geometría "sintética" sino la de la geometría "métrica", es decir se define en el semiplano superior una forma de medir longitudes de curvas y ángulos, lo que lleva implícito una forma de medir áreas de regiones. Así las "rectas" en esta geometría son las curvas de longitud mínima entre dos cualesquiera de sus puntos; como se probará, éstas son las semirrectas y semicircunferencias perpendiculares a una recta fija (ver la nota antes mencionada, R.E.M. vol 1, N° 3)
