Lyapunov Stability of the Generalized Stochastic Pantograph Equation by Ramazan Kadiev, Arcady Ponosov

“…Our approach consists in linking different kinds of stochastic Lyapunov stability to specially chosen functional spaces. To prove stability, we check that the solutions of the equation belong to a suitable space of stochastic processes, instead of searching for an appropriate Lyapunov functional. …”

PROPER AND ISOLATED EFFICIENCIES IN MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS by Thái Doãn Chương

“…We employ some advanced tools of variational analysis and generalised differentiation such as the nonsmooth version of Fermat's rule, the limiting sub-differential of maximum functions, and the sum rules for the Frechet and Mordukhovich sub-differentials to establish necessary conditions for (local) properly efficient solutions and (local) isolated minimizers of a multi-objective optimisation problem involving inequality and equality constraints. …”

Afrodescendentes em São Leopoldo: memória coletiva e processos de identidade by José Ivo Follmann, Adevanir Aparecida Pinheiro

“…This article focuses on aspects of the methodology used in the process of the research project on "Afro-descendants in São Leopoldo: memory and identity", intending to show some of its most relevant results. We stress the technique called "focus collective hermeneutics", through which we try, by means of workshops with a group of Afro-descendants, to construct a contextualized and pedagogically involving and engaging comprehension, starting from life stories and personal and other reports, collected among the black population of São Leopoldo. …”
