«Quiero tener una vida, no un currículum». La identidad del académico en la universidad pública entre el mercado y la academia
No full textThis contribution analyzes the effects of some of the changes imposed by the ideology of the knowledge economy on higher public education. In a case study within the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), we conducted in-depth interviews with academics from different disciplines. Based on the biographical narratives obtained, we hereby document how they position themselves in the face of processes of the so-called commercialization of higher education that affect their substantive academic functions of Research, Teaching and Cultural Dissemination.Esta contribución analiza los efectos de algunos de los cambios que impone la ideología de la economía del conocimiento a la educación pública superior. En un estudio de caso dentro de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), llevamos a cabo entrevistas a profundidad con académicos de diferentes disciplinas. A partir de las narrativas biográficas obtenidas documentamos aquí cómo ellos se posicionan identitariamente frente a procesos de la llamada mercantilización de la educación superior que atañen las funciones sustantivas académicas de Investigación, Docencia y Difusión cultural
Reflexión en tiempos actuales. ¡Basta de princesitas!: Relectura de los cuentos clásicos en favor femenino
No full textAlthough the classic tales have accompanied us for decades —if not centuries—, collaborating with the entertainment of literature, but also with its possible teachings and morals; they have also been a personal and social stereotypical model that has influenced our social, cultural and ideological coexistence for a period already quite extended. However, times change. Nowadays it is possible to reread the same texts in order to take advantage of the search for a basic objective: equality and equity between men and women in favor of a just and, therefore, equitable society. The purpose is not to destroy literature, but to open your eyes to reread them —and enjoy them— from another perspective.Si bien los cuentos clásicos nos han acompañado por décadas —si no siglos—, colaborando con la entretención propia de la literatura, pero también con sus posibles enseñanzas y moralejas, han sido, asimismo, un modelo estereotípico personal y social que ha influido en nuestra convivencia social, cultural e ideológica por un período bastante extendido. Sin embargo, los tiempos cambian. Hoy en día es posible realizar relecturas de los mismos textos con la finalidad de sacar provecho en la búsqueda de un objetivo básico: la igualdad y equidad entre hombres y mujeres en favor de una sociedad justa y, por tanto, equitativa. La finalidad no es destruir la literatura, sino abrir los ojos para volver a leerlos —y disfrutar de ellos— desde otra perspectiva

No full textOld finds in new plough soils – Excavations of infield Stone Age sites in Southeastern Norway. This paper discusses the results of field archaeology in southeast Norway in the last ten years and concludes that infield Stone Age sites are rarely excavated in this region. Although the reasons are complex, this can partly be explained by the emphasis given to other types of sites and subjects, and is also related to the lack of a disciplinary tradition of survey and excavation of plough zone sites.The article also examines the value of infield Stone Age sites and presents and evaluates some of the methods used in recent excavations of plough soil settlements. Although some of these sites can provide new information about settlement patterns and the Stone Age economy, there are also sites that are of less interest. An important conclusion is that more focus should be given to the more productive sites both by applying new methods of survey and by excavations
Improving Polyp Segmentation in Colonoscopy using Deep Learning
No full textColorectal cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths globally. Although colonoscopy is considered as the gold standard for examination of colon polyps, there is a significant miss rate of around 22-28 %. Deep learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks can aid in the detection and describe abnormalities in the colon that clinicians might miss during endoscopic examinations. The "MedAI: Transparency in Medical Image Segmentation" competition provides an opportunity to develop accurate and automated polyp segmentation algorithms on the same dataset provided by the challenge organizer. We participate in the polyp segmentation task of the challenge and provide a solution based on the dual decoder attention network (DDANet). The DDANet is an encoder-decoder-based architecture based on a dual decoder attention network. Our experimental results on the organizers' dataset showed a dice coefficient of 0.7967, Jaccard index of 0.7220, a recall of 0.8214, a precision of 0.8359, and an accuracy of 0.9557. Our results on unseen datasets suggest that deep learning and computer vision-based methods can effectively solve automated polyp segmentation tasks.Colorectal cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths globally.

No full textSelvmord er et tema som vi nok aldri vil kunne snakke like ubesværet om som andre menneskelige fenomener. Det skyldes først og fremst alle de vonde assosiasjonene som temaet vekker; mennesker vi kjente som tok sitt liv, mennesker som ble etterlatt og alle de vanskelige spørsmålene som vi alle blirsittende igjen med. Dette kommer vi ikke bort fra. Men vanskene med å snakke om det store samfunnsproblemet selvmord har flere årsaker – blant annet de mange mytene som knytter seg til selvmord. For eksempel myten om at det å spørre et annet menneske om han tenker på selvmord kan øke sannsynligheten for at han vil ta sitt eget liv. En myte uten faktagrunnlag. Et annet hinder for åpen kommunikasjon er stigmaene knyttet til det å være suicidal eller det å være i behov for hjelp i en krise. Slike stigma fører som regel til økt skamfølelse, noe som er et alvorlig hinder for at personer som trenger hjelp i en selvmordskrise vil søke hjelp. Men dersom vi klarer å redusere myter, skam og stigma vil trolig flere våge å snakke om selvmord, både for å gi hjelp og søke hjelp. Derfor er åpenhet viktig. Heldigvis har det skjedd mange positive endringer de senere år når det gjelder åpenhet om selvmord.Massemediene har her bidratt med mange gode saker som har åpnet temaet på en helt annen måte enn tidligere. Samtidig har mediene stort sett vært seg bevisst at ikke alle typer medieomtale av selvmord er av det gode sett i et selvmordsforebyggingsperspektiv. Vi har hatt en løpende debatt om hvordan finne den gode balansen mellom åpenhet og varsomhet i omtalen av selvmord i det offentlige rom.
Denne balansen er også viktig i tiden som kommer når det skal satses mer systematisk på folkeopplysning om selvmord og -forebygging i vårt land i regi av Regjeringens nye handlingsplan. I dette nummeret av Suicidologi bringer vi mye stoff som handler om disse temaene. Vi tror åpenhet på dette feltet er viktig; både for å sette selvmord som samfunnsproblem høyere opp på dagsordenen, men også for å nå fram til mennesker som trenger hjelp og som vi i dag ikke klarer å hjelpe.

Ludic Unreliability and Deceptive Game Design
No full textDrawing from narratology and design studies, this article makes use of the notions of the ‘implied designer’ and ‘ludic unreliability’ to understand deceptive game design as a specific subset of transgressive game design. More specifically, in this text we present deceptive game design as the deliberate attempt to misguide players’ inferences about the designers’ intentions. Furthermore, we argue that deceptive design should not merely be taken as a set of design choices aimed at misleading players in their efforts to understand the game, but also as decisions devised to give rise to experiential and emotional effects that are in the interest of players. Finally, we propose to introduce a distinction between two varieties of deceptive design approaches based on whether they operate in an overt or a covert fashion in relation to player experience. Our analysis casts light on expressive possibilities that are not customarily part of the dominant paradigm of user-centered design, and can inform game designers in their pursuit of wider and more nuanced creative aspirations

‘Modern’ Law and Its Subjects in Tawfīq al-Ḥakīm’s Diary of a Country Prosecutor (1937)
No full textState law as the main transformative device to build a ‘modern’ Egypt has encountered tremendous resistance, yet legal scholars seem utterly uninterested in the matter while historians struggle to account for the reasons of the subjects’ resistance by using archival materials often produced by state officials themselves. In this article, I turn to literature to explore and interrogate literary representations of the rural subjects of ‘modern’ law, and their various forms of resistance to ‘modern’ law itself. In an effort to highlight the benefits of ‘turning to literature’ for legal scholars, I begin with one of the most acclaimed masterpieces and foundational works of the modern Egyptian literary canon: Tawfīq al-Ḥakīm’s Diary of a Country Prosecutor (1937). Listening to the awkward silences and garrulous voices of the Diary’s subjects opens a window onto the strained relations between ‘modern’ law and its subjects in which class, language, and centre/periphery dynamics all play a role. Considering what repertoire these subjects ‘spontaneously’ mobilise to challenge the ‘modern’ law further brings into view their alternative doxic understanding of law and justice.
