Semantic Factorization and Descent
Let be a -category with suitable opcomma objects and
pushouts. We give a direct proof that, provided that the codensity monad of a
morphism exists and is preserved by a suitable morphism, the factorization
given by the lax descent object of the higher cokernel of is up to
isomorphism the same as the semantic factorization of , either one existing
if the other does. The result can be seen as a counterpart account to the
celebrated B\'{e}nabou-Roubaud theorem. This leads in particular to a
monadicity theorem, since it characterizes monadicity via descent. It should be
noted that all the conditions on the codensity monad of trivially hold
whenever has a left adjoint and, hence, in this case, we find monadicity to
be a -dimensional exact condition on , namely, to be an effective
faithful morphism of the -category .Comment: Full revision, new diagrams, 48 page
Atitudes dos gestores face à criatividade e às práticas de inovação nas indústrias criativas
This article aims to demonstrate that the relationship between entrepreneurs' attitudes to creativity and business innovation practices is stronger in the case of creative industries. A sample of 454 managers of micro and medium-sized companies (94 belonging to creative industries) was surveyed using an inventory of innovative business practices and the scale of attitudes towards creativity. The results, derived from a linear regression model (two factors for the scale of attitudes - Leadership and Autonomy - and for the inventory of business practices - Performance and Strategy), confirmed the proposition by revealing the influence of the creative attitudes of managers regarding the company's innovative practices, fundamentally on Strategy, especially in the creative industries segment. The innovative manager appeared as a disciplined individual driven to collaborating with the employees. Although this research requires further evidence, the results suggest interesting characterisations of the managers who develop their activity in the cluster of creative industries.Este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar que a relação entre as
atitudes do empresário face à criatividade e as práticas de inovação é
mais forte no caso das indústrias criativas. Foram inquiridos 454
gestores de micro, pequenas e médias empresas (94 pertencentes à s
indústrias criativas), utilizando um inventário de práticas empresariais
e uma escala de atitudes face à criatividade. Os resultados, obtidos
utilizando um modelo de regressão linear (dois fatores para a escala de
atitudes –Liderança e Autonomia - e dois para o inventário de práticas
empresariais – Desempenho e Estratégia) confirmaram a hipótese, ao
revelar a influência das atitudes do empresário face à criatividade sobre
as práticas inovadoras da empresa, nomeadamente na Estratégia e no
segmento das indústrias criativas. O gestor inovador surge como um
indivÃduo disciplinado, orientado para colaborar com os empregados.
Apesar desta investigação necessitar de maior aprofundamento, os
resultados sugerem uma caracterização interessante dos gestores que
desenvolvem a sua atividade no cluster das indústrias criativasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Intelligent Management and Efficient Operation of Big Data
This chapter details how Big Data can be used and implemented in networking
and computing infrastructures. Specifically, it addresses three main aspects:
the timely extraction of relevant knowledge from heterogeneous, and very often
unstructured large data sources, the enhancement on the performance of
processing and networking (cloud) infrastructures that are the most important
foundational pillars of Big Data applications or services, and novel ways to
efficiently manage network infrastructures with high-level composed policies
for supporting the transmission of large amounts of data with distinct
requisites (video vs. non-video). A case study involving an intelligent
management solution to route data traffic with diverse requirements in a wide
area Internet Exchange Point is presented, discussed in the context of Big
Data, and evaluated.Comment: In book Handbook of Research on Trends and Future Directions in Big

Performance of GNSS evil waveform detectors in the presence of multipath
The detection of evil waveforms (EWF) in GNSS signals is crucial to refrain from using anomalous signals in the PVT solution, which could degrade significantly its accuracy. The EWF detectors are, in general, based on the computation of the distortion of the code autocorrelation function. Thus, the multipath effect, an independent mechanism that also distorts the autocorrelation shape, can be incorrectly assumed by the EWF detector as the presence of EWF, leading to a major increase of the probability of false alarm. In the paper we analyze the robustness of the main EWF detectors and modulations to the presence of multipath.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
On biadjoint triangles
We prove a biadjoint triangle theorem and its strict version, which are 2-dimensional analogues of the adjoint triangle theorem of Dubuc. Similarly to the 1-dimensional case, we demonstrate how we can apply our results to get the pseudomonadicity characterization (due to Le Creurer, Marmolejo and Vitale).
Furthermore, we study applications of our main theorems in the context of the 2-monadic approach to coherence. As a direct consequence of our strict biadjoint triangle theorem, we give the construction (due to Lack) of the left 2-adjoint to the inclusion of the strict algebras into the pseudoalgebras.
In the last section, we give two brief applications on lifting biadjunctions and pseudo-Kan extensions
Descent Data and Absolute Kan Extensions
The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent
category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in
any -category with lax descent objects, the forgetful
morphisms create all Kan extensions that are preserved by certain morphisms. As
a consequence, in the case , we get a monadicity
theorem which says that a right adjoint functor is monadic if and only if it
is, up to the composition with an equivalence, (naturally isomorphic to) a
functor that forgets descent data. In particular, within the classical context
of descent theory, we show that, in a fibred category, the forgetful functor
between the category of internal actions of a precategory and the category
of internal actions of the underlying discrete precategory is monadic if and
only if it has a left adjoint. More particularly, this shows that one of the
implications of the celebrated Benabou-Roubaud theorem does not depend on the
so called Beck-Chevalley condition. Namely, we prove that, in indexed
categories, whenever an effective descent morphism induces a right adjoint
functor, the induced functor is monadic.Comment: 31 page
