Jogos, sociabilidade e conflito no Brasil by Édison Gastaldo, Everardo Rocha, Adriana Braga

“…To him, poetry, law, war, music, religion and everything we regard as serious, sacred and respectful derive at some level from ancient sacred games, and still keep their elementary features. In social theory, the participation in games and competitions usually highlights their symbolic, ritual and communicational aspects, as well as their links to wider sociability networks. …”

Music Segmentation Algorithm Based on Self-Adaptive Update of Confidence Measure by Jianhua Li

“…To improve the accuracy of music segmentation and enhance segmentation effect, an algorithm based on the adaptive update of confidence measure is proposed. According to the theory of compressed sensing, the music fragments are denoised, and thus the denoised signals are subjected to short-term correlation analysis. …”

Stabilization for a degenerate wave equation with drift and potential term with boundary fractional derivative control by Ibtissam Issa, Zayd Hajjej

“…Additionally, we introduce boundary fractional derivative damping at the endpoint where divergence is absent. Using semi-group theory and the multiplier method, we establish polynomial stability, with a decay rate depending upon the order of the fractional derivative.…”

La magica romanza della serendipità. Sul campo, l’accidentale e il sapere antropologico by Mara Benadusi

“…It is precisely this aura that I will try to dissolve in the article, reflecting on the ethnographic pitfalls that lie behind an uncritical incorporation of serendipitous discoveries into anthropological theory and practice. After a brief reconstruction of the social life of the concept from its first appearance in the eighteenth century up to date, I will focus on three fundamental issues: First, I will describe the main reasons for the fascination that serendipity arouses in academic circles; then, I will describe its growing adoption in social anthropology; finally, I will analyze the risks of exoticism and ethnographic romanticism deriving from its use. …”
