Health Econometric:Uncovering the Anthropometric Behavior on Women's Labor Market

Adapting an anthropometric Mincer approach by using probabilistic and censured econometric models which were developed for it.

Generación de expresiones faciales basadas en emociones para criaturas virtuales

En este trabajo de investigaci on se estudian los comportamientos humanos, específicamente las expresiones faciales, ya que estas son un aspecto fundamental en las emociones que genera el ser humano al poder discutir si podemos o no expresar en el rostro algo que no sea una emoci on. En el contenido de esta tesis se introducen algunos conceptos b asicos de la Inteligencia Arti cial, como agentes inteligentes, la computaci on bio-inspirada, entre otros, para lograr que una criatura virtual represente 5 emociones b asicas (alegr a, tristeza, miedo, enojo y desagrado) en su rostro, la generaci on de estas emociones son detonadas mediante est mulos que se encuentran en un ambiente virtual y a la vez mostradas en una expresi on facial. De esta manera la propuesta que se hace en esta tesis es modelar una criatura virtual embebiendo en ella una base de conocimiento inicial generada con base en Neurociencias y generar est mulos con diversas caracter sticas, tomando como caso de estudio los coloresque est an relacionados a las emociones b asicas, para desp ues introducir a la criatura virtual y a los est mulos de manera que estos ultimos exciten a la criatura virtual y esta pueda generar la expresi on facial de acuerdo a su base de conocmiento inicial, lo que permite mostrar un comportamiento que se asemeje un poco m as al que tendr a una persona real

Ex ( in ) Clusion: an Exploratory Case Study of Student Participation in Dual Credit Coursework

Dual credit programs rely heavily on state-level legislation and other regulations from educational agencies. As dual credit has evolved from the Project Advance program developed by Syracuse University and its partner school districts, policymakers have used their position to craft policies to direct dual credit practitioners to craft programs that are more accessible and equitable for minoritized students. However, the participation of minoritized students has historically been lagging that of white and more affluent students. Research on how dual credit practitioners’ interpretation influences their recruitment and enrollment decisions is limited. This case study uses data from seven dual credit practitioners, field observations, and select documents to understand how their dual credit partnership (Northern Community College and Sub-Urban High School) has worked to make meaning of state-level legislation and regulations to develop recruitment and enrollment processes. The findings of this study offer insight into how a dual credit partnership has worked to foster a shared vision while addressing issues associated with a limited understanding of legislation, inefficient enrollment procedures, misconceptions, and the goal of developing student-centered practices. Additionally, the study provides insight into how dual credit partnerships can benefit from a comprehensive approach to establishing professional development for key staff at both institutions, including adopting national standards

Medición fisiológica integral de la pobreza crónica profunda y estrategias de políticas sociales para el desarrollo temprano

The methodology of the anthropometric indices of chronic poverty at early stages of human development is reviewed by including the possibility of using wealth or consumption as an alternative to income for the representation of an integral dimension of socioeconomic status as well as remarking the methodological adaptability of the indicator to several anthropometric criteria for growth assessment as an integral dimension of the physiologic status for the next generation of poor. Furthermore, a framework on strategies of generational and agricultural policies is discussed to target long-term human development
