Triangulação metodológica e abordagem multimétodo na pesquisa sociológica: vantagens e desafios by Fabiana Luci de Oliveira

“…I begin by specifying the characteristics of quantitative and qualitative methods, and of their combination (multi-method approach), pointing to the potentials and limitations in this combination, and I conclude describing two studies as examples: a classic research for excellence (Distinction: A social critique of the judgment of taste), in which Bourdieu (1977b) used a combination of methods to verify the determinants of cultural practices, and a more recent study (Corruption and inequality at the crossroad – a Multimethod Study of Bribery and Discrimination in Latin America), in which Fried et al. (2010) discuss the relationship between corruption and social inequality in Latin America, from an experiment followed by qualitative interviews as a way to better understand and explain the results of the experimental phase.…”

The Construction of an Action-Speech Feature-Based School Violence Recognition Algorithm and Occupational Therapy Education Model for Adolescents by Shuaiqing Zhang, Huan Li

“…The LDA dimensionality reduction algorithm reduces the number of features to 8 dimensions, which reduces the running time of the system by 51%, increases the accuracy rate of violent action recognition by 3.3%, and increases the recall rate of violent action recognition by 8.86% while ensuring the overall performance of the system. Based on the classical D-S theory, we proposed an improved D-S evidence fusion algorithm by modifying the original evidence model with a new probability distribution function and constructing new fusion rules, which can solve the fusion conflict problem well. …”

Plastic Surgery: Under the Skin, Suture, Destructive Plasticity and Post-Cinematic Ontologies by Greg Hainge

“…Indeed, ultimately this article suggests that Under the Skin can be read as a commentary on the viewing subject required by (and forms of subjectivity produced by) post-cinematic media forms that at first seem to operate according to a different logic to the cinematic syntax of classical cinema, but which may in fact require us to reconsider some of our assumptions with regard to all forms of cinematic subjectivity produced in the relations between spectator and screen.…”

Overlapping community detection in complex networks based on multi kernel label propagation by Kun DENG, Wen-ping LI, Fa-hong YU, Jian-pei ZHANG

“…In view of the strong randomness and pre-setting the related threshold of traditional overlapping community detection method based on label propagation,overlapping community detection in complex networks based on multi kernel label propagation (OMKLP) was proposed.Evaluation model of kernel nodes was proposed after analyzing the node's degree and local covering density of nodes and their neighbor nodes.And on this basis,the detection method of local kernel nodes was also presented.Based on local kernel nodes,a new asynchronous label propagation strategy ori-ented to overlapping community was proposed,which can rapidly distinguish inner nodes and outer nodes of communi-ties so as to obtain overlapping community structure.The analysis method of overlapping nodes was proposed to increase the accuracy of detecting overlapping nodes.Without any prior knowledge,only on the basis of the basic network infor-mation (nodes and links),the algorithm can detect the structure of overlapping communities accurately.Therefore,it ef-fectively solved the defect of the traditional label propagation algorithm.The algorithm was tested over benchmark net-works and real-world networks and also compared with some classic algorithms.The experiment results verify the valid-ity and feasibility of OMKLP.…”

Unstructured Grids and the Multigroup Neutron Diffusion Equation by German Theler

“…A simple two-dimensional homogeneous circular reactor is solved using a coarse unstructured grid in order to illustrate some basic differences between the finite volumes and the finite elements method. Also, the classic 2D IAEA PWR benchmark problem is solved for eighty combinations of symmetries, meshing algorithms, basic geometric entities, discretization schemes, and characteristic grid lengths, giving even more insight into the peculiarities that arise when solving the neutron diffusion equation using unstructured grids.…”

Hydrellia fly parasitic wasp Trichopria columbiana Ashmead (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) by Byron R. Coon, Nathan E. Harms, Michael J. Grodowitz, Emma N.I. Weeks, James P. Cuda

“…After its introduction into the U.S. by the aquarium industry in the 1950s (Langeland 1996), various control methods, including biological control, were developed and used to manage infestations. Classical biological control studies were initiated in the 1970s, which led to the release of four insects in the U.S., two of which were the leaf-mining ephydrid flies, Hydrellia pakistanae and Hydrellia balciunasi. …”
