Abstract:
Abstract This paper examines the embodied practical knowledge (know-how) that make up the organizational practices of popular cultures in the northeast Brazilian municipality of Caruaru, located in the microzone of Agreste in the state of Pernambuco. We held informal and semi-structured interviews with fifteen masters and artists from Caruaru, linked to eleven different popular culture segments, and performed non-participant observation in workshops, meetings, and forums. Our discussion reflects on the ancestries, affections between family members, masters and apprentices, explicit rules, conflicts, and distinctions constituting the popular know-how that underlies organizational practices. We highlight as the main contributions of this study to Organizational Studies: the production of authentic knowledge about organizing practiced in peripheral contexts; and the questioning of the distinction between ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’ and instrumental rationality as the basis for organizational practices. Finally, we point out how practice theory initiates a wider discussion about popular cultures in a peripheral context like the Agreste of Pernambuco, which includes the contribution of other perspectives and leads to concrete actions in practice.

Abstract:
Abstract Nowadays, popular music artists from a wide range of cultures perform in English alongside other local languages. This phenomenon questions the coexistence of different languages within local music practices. In this article, I argue that we cannot fully understand this issue without addressing the sacred dimension of language in popular music, which entails two aspects: 1) the transitory experience of an ideal that challenges intelligibility, and 2) the entanglement with social norms and institutions. Further to which, I compare Latin hegemony during the Middle Ages and the contemporary French popular music, where English and French coexist in a context marked by globalisation and ubiquitous digital technologies. The case of the Middle Ages shows that religious control over Latin led to a massive unintelligible experience of ritual singing, which reflected a strong class divide and created a demand for music rituals in vernacular languages. In the case of contemporary French popular music, asemantical practices of language are employed by artists in order to explore alternative, sacred dimensions of language that challenge nationhood.

Abstract:
This article argues that Yoruba proverbs are an essential source of popular wisdom on socio-environmental practices accessible through creative reconstruction and interpretation of their historical contexts. Learning from the everyday knowledge and accumulated wisdom of ordinary people holds significant promise at a time of unprecedented socio-environmental crisis and widespread calls for transformative change across scales. Drawing on the collection of Yoruba proverbs by Oyekan Owomoyela, broader Yoruba oral literature, Yoruba popular culture and a cross-disciplinary selection of academic literature, this article curates and reimagines nine Yoruba proverbs on the theme of fire, using these as an entry point to interrogate aspects of ecology and local understanding and practices of living with fires among the Yoruba people.

Abstract:
The last two decades in the North America have seen a resurgence of scholarly and practitioner activities advocating for integrating more popular music in music classrooms both through repertoire and pedagogy. However, the emphasis has been on Western-oriented popular music practices, neglecting those of other cultures, even though there is a major increase in population diversity occurring in the United States and Canada. This article examines the concept-oriented framework, through which, instead of exploring popular music geographically, one can engage with the wider concept of popular music across cultures. The framework consists of a central concept selected by music teachers and students and is contextualized by various areas of exploration. Popular music can play an influential, transformative, and socially just role in improving numerous situations.

Abstract:
For a very long time, popular music learning cultures had been characterised as informal and aural traditions. However, literature on the ways popular musicians learnt have documented increasing instances of popular musicians engaging with formal and non-aural modes of learning as time went by. Using the United Kingdom (UK) as a case study, the aim of this article is to establish an evolutionary narrative of how popular musicians learn. It begins with a chronological review of literature that examined the learning experiences of popular musicians between the 1970s and 2010s, and then discusses some observations regarding provisions of higher popular music education. In doing so, it revealed how the formalisation of popular music learning and technological advancements propelled the processes of becoming popular musicians in the UK to expand beyond features of informal learning and playing by ear. It argues that popular music learning cultures today comprise diverse combinations of formal and informal learning modes, notation- and ear-based practices, and resources made available by technological advancements, and thus, the informal and aural narrative pinned onto popular music learning cultures needs to be re-examined. Finally, it hopes to encourage discourses surrounding the learning of popular music to evolve beyond the issues of informal and aural-based learning and allocate more attention towards other means of learning in popular music.

Abstract:
The pervasiveness of popular music and its associated practices in current youth cultures brings into question the relevance and effectiveness of more traditional music pedagogies, and propels a search for a more current and engaging music pedagogy informed by popular music practices. With this as the basis, this study seeks to explore factors that may enable the success and effectiveness of popular music programmes in public schools through the lenses of three Singapore secondary school teachers as they conducted their popular music lessons over seven to ten weeks. In the process, the study also describes how these teachers pragmatically negotiated the execution of these programmes within Singapore's unique educational context. The findings may serve to inform music teachers and school leaders keen to establish similar programmes as a matter of on-going dialogue.

Pawley, Daniel W. "Popular privation : suffering in fan cultures." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/2233.
Abstract:
Contributing to scholarship that explores human suffering within mediated culture has provided the impetus for this PhD thesis. I propose that suffering in mediated modernity be considered in social, cultural, and theological terms; and specifically in the context of privation, a term applied by Saint Augustine to the integrated problems of suffering and evil. Privation, to Augustine, meant negation: a vacuum of human existence understood as the absence of positive, sustaining life forces. I attempt to update this concept by arguing that a modern definition of privation can be conceived of as variable states of human deprivation such as loss, dislocation, isolation, and hunger. Privation encompasses these states of deprivation, expressing the kind of suffering that occurs in mediated culture. To narrow the mediated-culture aspect of the study, I explore the topic of fandom, which I define as “the intentional socialization of textual consumption,” and I attempt to show how privation exists in several well-defined forms within a wide variety of fan cultures (groups of fans). In short, fans use their fandom to satisfy their privation in four ways: through connectivity, release, identification, and empowerment. The corresponding deprivations include dislocation, animus, isolation, and hunger. I bring these concepts together in the form of deprivations requiring satisfactions described as dislocation/connectivity, animus/release, isolation/identification, and hunger/empowerment. In each case I attempt to provide analysis and discussion of relevant findings based on empirical research, and in a final discussion I integrate supportive ideas from theories of attachment, catharsis, identification, and empowerment. My methods of research include a combination of secondary source analysis; two distinct phases of questionnaire-based research among 256 fans from various fan cultures; and a case study approach to the online fan culture of the Harry Potter books by Edinburgh author J.K. Rowling.

Gallacher, Lesley-Anne. "Sleep of reason? : the practices of reading shônen manga." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/4894.
Abstract:
In this thesis, I explore the practices of English-speaking readers of shônen manga (Japanese comics written primarily for an audience of teenage boys). I concentrate on three series in particular: Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist (2001–2010), Tite Kubo’s Bleach (2001–ongoing), and Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto (1999–ongoing). I argue that, although it may appear to be inherently imbued with (authorial) meaning, the shônen manga text emerges from a curious ‘alchemy’ through which the practices of readers transform the ‘raw’ materials provided by manga creators to produce a text that appears to have always been inherently meaningful in itself. I argue that this is always an impossible and monstrous transformation. In the first chapter, I introduce the monstrous combinations of words and pictures, panels and gutters known as shônen manga and argue for the importance of taking the practices of ‘ordinary’ (or, at least, non-scholarly) reading seriously. In the second chapter I explore the idea that reading is an ‘alchemy’ through which the disparate elements readers encounter on the page are transformed into a meaningful text. In the third chapter, I discuss the ways in which time and narrative are braided as readers assemble the disparate elements they encounter on the shônen manga page. In Chapter 4, I explore the visceral thrills of reading shônen manga, which are often expressed through notions of the awesome and the epic. Finally, in Chapter 5, I examine the ways in which a group of shônen manga readers known as ‘shippers’ find love and romance amidst the fighting in shônen manga and demonstrate the legitimacy of these readings by locating them in the material text through the concept of ‘canon’. By attending to reading as an embodied and material practice in this way, the thesis contributes to debates about the relationships between creators, texts and audiences and ongoing attempts to imagine new ways of being critical within cultural and literary studies. Within cultural geography, these kinds of attempts have often been aligned with what might broadly be described as nonrepresentational theories. As such, this thesis attempts to draw out the geographies through which manga texts are realised as manga texts at all.

Previous issue date: 2010-04-28A esquizofrenia é um dos principais transtornos psiquiátricos, cujas causas são ainda amplamente desconhecidas. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever as concepções socioculturais relacionadas à experiência subjetiva de pacientes esquizofrênicos e seus familiares, nos seguintes aspectos: a) estudar modelos explicativos e significados formulados por pacientes, familiares e comunidade para entender a esquizofrenia; b) descrever comportamentos e práticas populares de familiares utilizadas no processo do cuidado do paciente esquizofrênico; c) explorar a interação entre a família, o paciente esquizofrênico e a comunidade próxima. Foi realizada uma etnografia utilizando a observação participante e entrevista semiestruturada em profundidade, abordando questões referentes às experiências e crenças de pacientes crônicos com diagnóstico de esquizofrenia e seus familiares, em tratamento no Ambulatório de Saúde Mental da cidade de Montes Claros. Foram entrevistados 46 indivíduos: 16 pacientes, 23 familiares e 07 membros da comunidade. Familiares e pacientes vivem em precárias condições socioeconômicas. Pacientes, familiares e a comunidade compartilham crenças semelhantes quanto à etiologia e curso da doença. A esquizofrenia, para pacientes e familiares, não é reconhecida como uma doença; ela é um transtorno de causa espiritual e tem como principais modelos explicativos o resguardo quebrado, os espíritos, o encosto e os feitiços. Os espíritos geracionais são vistos como responsáveis pela transmissão e manifestação da doença por hereditariedade. A doença passa de um membro para o outro por maldição. Pacientes e familiares buscam ajuda terapêutica, principalmente nos “curandeiros”, no espiritismo e nas igrejas evangélicas, o que nem sempre resulta em melhora. As “vozes” que os pacientes ouvem são interpretadas pelos familiares como vozes espirituais, possibilitando a perspectiva de um aspecto positivo na relação entre familiares e pacientes. A loucura, para pacientes, familiares e comunidade, está associada à inconsciência dos acontecimentos e atitudes em torno de si. Ser “louco” está relacionado ao uso de medicação antipsicótica, o que é uma barreira para a adesão ao tratamento. Não poder participar socialmente do mundo é uma fonte de sofrimento para os pacientes. O relacionamento familiar é permeado de agressividade e violência de ambos os lados. As famílias usam a violência: a) por medo; b) como defesa das agressões recebidas; c) para controle do comportamento do paciente; d) por acreditarem que as agressões dos pacientes são premeditadas; e) por não compreenderem o que acontece com os pacientes. O comportamento violento do paciente é visto como um problema de caráter moral. Na perspectiva da comunidade, o paciente esquizofrênico é perigoso e ameaçador. O contexto sociocultural deve ser considerado ao se pensar políticas de intervenção que priorizem a melhoria de vida para pacientes e familiares. As políticas públicas de saúde mental precisam lidar com os desafios das realidades locais, da dinâmica familiar e da violência, que estão inseridos no contexto do cuidado terapêutico. A etnografia realizada com pacientes, familiares e vizinhos mostrou a complexidade do cuidado do paciente esquizofrênico e necessária articulação de várias áreas do conhecimento para se ter uma aproximação mais realista da vida cotidiana dos participantes.
Schizophrenia is one of the major psychiatric disorders, whose causes are still largely unknown. The aim of this study is to describe the socio-cultural concepts related to the subjective experience of schizophrenic patients and their families in the following aspects a) to study the explanatory models and meanings formulated by patients, families and communities in order to understand schizophrenia b) to describe behaviors and popular practices of the patient’s family used in the process of the schizophrenic care c) to exploit the interaction between the schizophrenic patient, his family and the community. An ethnographic research was conducted using participant observation and semi-structured in-depth interview approaching issues related to experiences and beliefs of chronic patients with schizophrenia diagnosis and their families undergoing treatment at the Mental Health Clinic in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 46 individuals were interviewed: 16 patients, 23 family members and 07 members of the community. Patients and their families live in poor socioeconomic conditions. Patients, families and the community share similar beliefs towards etiology and the course of the disease. Schizophrenia is not recognized as a disease both by patients and their families; it is considered a spiritual disorder and its main explanatory models are lack of post natal care, spirits, spells and spiritual obsession. Generational spirits are seen as responsible for the disease transmission and manifestation by inheritance. This disease is transmitted from one member of the family to the other by curse. Patients and family members seek therapeutic help mainly in "spiritualist healers" and evangelical churches which does not always bring improvement. The "voices" patients hear are interpreted as spiritual voices by the family, suggesting the prospect of a positive aspect in the relationship between family and patients. The concept of madness for the patients, their families and communities is associated with attitudes and unconsciousness towards what is happening around. Being "crazy" is related to the use of antipsychotic medication presenting a barrier to treatment adherence. The fact of not being able to participate socially in the world is a source of suffering for the patients. The family relationship is surrounded by aggressiveness and violence on both sides. Families use violence; a) for fear b) in order to defend from the aggression received, c) in order to control the patient’s behavior d) because they believe the attacks are premeditated e) because they do not understand what patients are going through. The patients’ violent behavior is seen as a moral character problem. Under the community view, the schizophrenic patient is dangerous and threatening. The sociocultural context must be considered when thinking of intervention policies that prioritize the patients’ and families’ life improvement. Mental health public policies have to deal with the challenges of local realities, family dynamics and violence, which are inserted in the context of therapeutic care. The ethnography with patients, family members and neighbors showed the complexity of the schizophrenic patient care and the articulation needed for several areas of knowledge in order to have a more realistic approach of the participants’ daily life.

Debruço-me, nesta pesquisa, sobre possíveis trilhas para repensar currículos e práticas pedagógicas de modo a articular a valorização e a tematização contextualizada das culturas populares no âmbito da educação formal. O objeto de estudo se apresenta a mim desde minha experiência docente e minhas interrogações se fazem mais significativas quando levo em conta a relevância da dimensão cultural em toda dinâmica social contemporânea e a sua consideração no âmbito da educação escolar numa perspectiva liberal conservadora que despreza as culturas populares, hierarquiza saberes e perpetua currículos abstratos e monoculturais. Desenvolvi o estudo tendo por alicerce a compreensão de que as culturas populares exigem uma racionalidade complexa, alargada, plural, livre de dogmas e que se proponha a ir além de binarismos e essencialismos em suas análises. Foram base deste estudo de caso colaborativo desenvolvido na Escola Municipal Senhor do Bonfim/Buri, na cidade de Alagoinhas-BA, o diálogo com o cotidiano, a dialogia e a aproximação entre pesquisa e prática pedagógica. Utilizei como técnicas de colheita de “dados” a análise documental, as entrevistas, a observação, as conversas informais na convivência com as pessoas, a produção de um vídeo documentário amador com as crianças da escola e descrevi, analisei e discuti os dados com base no paradigma indiciário e na análise bakhtiniana da linguagem. Pude notar que a escola pesquisada perpetua as fragmentações e distanciamentos entre saberes e entre escola e vida. Porém, há transgressões que se colocam no cotidiano quando a escola encontra na comunidade, que a construiu com as próprias mãos, o uso como espaço de convivência social. As transgressões aparecem, também, nos momentos em que há espaço-tempo para a fruição do corpo e para dançar, tocar e cantar o samba de roda. Assim, outros modos de ensinar e aprender se colocam no espaço-tempo da escola e emerge a possibilidade de entrever caminhos para ampliar experiências e saberes, bem como de descanonizar suas formas fixas e imobilizantes. Uma experiência provocativa foi desenvolvida no caminhar da pesquisa e ela se fez formativa para docente, pesquisadora e estudantes, mostrando que a sensibilização docente, a convergência com os princípios da mídia-educação, e o diálogo com a comunidade e com os estudantes se fazem férteis trilhas para a articular e contextualizar as culturas populares no âmbito da educação formal. Além disso, tal experiência me faz refletir que as formas de socialização das culturas populares apresentam-se como referências para repensar os currículos e práticas pedagógicas, possibilitando efetivar o que chamei, com fundamento bakhtiniano, de carnavalização da escola. Considero, em tal olhar, o trânsito em “mão dupla” entre currículos, práticas pedagógicas e culturas populares, tornando a crise e a morte da escola prenhes de ressignificação, de transformação e de renovação.
ABSTRACT This research focuses on possible trails to rethink curriculum and pedagogical practices to articulate the appreciation and the contextualized thematization of the popular cultures in the scope of formal education. The object of this study presents itself for me since my teaching experience and my questions are made more significant when I consider the relevance of the cultural dimension across contemporary social dynamics and the conservator liberal perspective of education dimension that despise the popular cultures, hierarchizes knowledges, and perpetuates abstract and monocultural curriculum. The study was developed having the foundation that the comprehension of the research about education must assume formative function, needs to jump over the epistemological fences that block the dialogue with the subjects that lives and build the daily, and must to approximate of the pedagogical practices. The study also considers what has been called contextualized conception of culture and the popular cultures like historically despised and stereotyped expressions, but that consist in contextualized and hybrid mode, and are recreated and revitalized contemporaneously. The popular cultures thus demand another rationality that is more complex, more wide, more plural, free of dogmas, and proposing to go beyond the binaries and essentialism in their analysis. Therefore, I took as foundations of this case study that was developed at Senhor do Bonfim/Buri School, in Alagoinhas city of state of Bahia, Brazil, and sought to set as a collaborative research, the daily dialogue, the dialogy and the approximation between research and pedagogical practice. I used as data collecting techniques the documental analyse, the interviews, the observation, the informal conversations with the people, an amateur video documentary production with the children of the school, and I made the description, analyses and discussion the data based on the evidential paradigm and Bakhtin´s analyse of language. I could observe that the researched school has a “processed curriculum” that perpetuates fragmentations and differences between knowledge, and between school and life. However, there are transgressions in everyday when the community who built the school with their own hands, uses his space for social interaction activities and builds space-times for body enjoyment, dance and samba that they sing and play. These transgressions lead to school spacetime other modes of teaching and learning whose making the school and school subjects can perceive possibilities to broaden experience and knowledge in the learning process, as well as not canonize their fixed and immobilizing forms. Taking as references the forms of socialization of popular cultures presents itself as a possibility to rethink the curriculum and pedagogical practices and accomplish what I called “carnivalization school” based in Bakhtin foundation. I consider in this view, the traffic in "two-way" between curriculum, pedagogical practices and popular cultures, which makes the crisis and the death of school the pregnant of possibilities to reframing, transformation and renewal.

Previous issue date: 2011-02-26Based on studies about Popular Feasts it is possible to recognize different aspects which determine them as structuring practices on people s lives that experience those. It is still important to highlight that through these manifestations studies we are capable of knowing a little bit more about the Country s Popular Culture, not only as an entertainment or spectacle, but as something which is dynamized, modified, taking important part on group s and subject s identities formation. This paper had the objective to describe and analyze educational processes present in the Terno de Congado Marinheiro de São Benedito and, by this analysis, try to comprehend how these educational processes occur. The study was undertaken through a qualitative approach and the investigation strategy was a participative research. As for data collection, conversation circles were made and remarks about them registered on a field diary. There were two conversation circles containing five components each, from the Terno Marinheiro de São Benedito; collaborators of the research were aged between eleven and forty three years old. Guiding questions to conversation circles aimed to know: Terno s history, men and women s roles inside the group, teaching and learning relations and the importance to take part in a Congada group of the city. Analysis was divided in three phases: before-analysis, material exploration and treatment of obtained results and data interpretation. After detailed material perusals, it was listed the following thematic categories: 1 learn to life: orality, memories and experiences; 2 secrets and mysteries: visible and invisible worlds; 3 resistance, fight and prejudice; 4 collaboration and faith. Results showed that Congada is a social practice composed of educational processes involving elements such as collaboration and faith, fight, resistance, prejudice, relations between visible and invisible worlds and also learning for life. This social practice modifies daily life of its participants. Because of this Festivity, its sung music, ornaments, choreographies, different world opinions which compose the Congada pageants, congadeiros and congadeiras reaffirm their identity, show pleasure, joy and satisfaction by representing distinct roles from those of everyday life, keeping alive their tradition. This research indicates that congada in Uberlândia is a social practice which resists, transforms and educates. Because of that practice, men and women get formed to life creating strategies and diverse ways to be in the world, through dance, life histories, collaboration experiences and faith.
A partir de estudos das Festas populares é possível reconhecer aspectos diferenciados que as determinam como práticas estruturantes na vida das pessoas que as vivenciam. É importante ressaltar ainda que, por meio de estudos destas manifestações é possível conhecer um pouco sobre a cultura popular no país, não apenas como folguedo ou espetáculo, mas como algo que se dinamiza, se modifica e é parte importante na formação de identidades de grupos e sujeitos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever e analisar processos educativos presentes no Terno de Congado Marinheiro de São Benedito e por meio desta análise compreender como estes processos educativos ocorrem. O estudo foi feito por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa e como estratégia de investigação, realizamos uma pesquisa participante. Como procedimento de coleta de dados, lançamos mão de rodas de conversa e as observações registradas em diário de campo. Foram realizadas duas rodas de conversa com cinco participantes do Terno Marinheiro de São Benedito, as colaboradoras e colaboradores da pesquisa tinham idades entre onze e quarenta e três anos. As questões orientadoras para as rodas de conversa buscaram saber: sobre a história do terno, sobre o papéis desempenhados por homens e mulheres dentro do grupo, as relações de ensino e de aprendizagem e a importância de fazer parte de um grupo de congada na cidade. A análise dos dados se estruturou em três fases: pré análise, exploração do material e tratamento dos resultados obtidos e interpretação dos dados. Após leituras minuciosas do material coletado, elencamos as seguintes categorias temáticas: 1-Aprender para a vida: a oralidade, a memória e as experiências; 2-Segredos e mistérios: o mundo visível e o mundo invisível; 3-Resistência, luta e preconceito; 4-Colaboração e fé. Os resultados mostraram que a congada é uma prática social constituída de processos educativos que envolvem elementos como colaboração e fé, luta, resistência, preconceito, as relações entre o mundo visível e o mundo invisível e também aprendizados para a vida. Esta prática social modifica o papel da vida cotidiana de seus e suas participantes. Através da Festa, das músicas cantadas, dos enfeites, das coreografias, das diferentes visões de mundo que compõem os cortejos da congada os congadeiros e congadeiras reafirmam suas identidades, demonstram o prazer, a alegria e a satisfação em representarem papéis distintos do seu mundo cotidiano, mantendo viva sua tradição. A pesquisa nos mostrou que a congada em Uberlândia é uma prática social que resiste, transforma e ensina. Por meio dela homens e mulheres se formam para a vida criando estratégias e diversas maneiras de ser e estar no mundo por meio da dança, das histórias de vida, das experiências da colaboração e da fé.

Pernambuco region consist of situated practices marked by hybridity between the modern and the traditional, characteristic of the nature of this work and the context in which it is developed. Therefore, I propose that, given the specificities of Agreste of Pernambuco and popular culture, it is necessary to understand the working relationship as consisting of situated practices, adopting a relational ontological positioning and “practical” epistemological positioning through theoretical frame of reference that makes opposed of John Dunlop design about labor relations. To investigate the scope of the thesis argument, I conducted empirical research with two popular culture groups in the city of Caruaru-PE, including the Boi Tira Teima and the Banda de Pífanos Zé do Estado. To realize this empirical research, I got information through ethnomethodological orientation using observation, interviews and visual documentation; analysis of ethnomethodological orientation for recognizing practices that characterize the labor relations in question; and notions of sociological discourse analysis for identification of modern and traditional elements that compose these practices, and the answers to these hybrids. Finally, I identified and analyzed seven practices through which labor relations happen to these two manifestations of popular culture that, although representative, do not exhaust the possibility of existing practices. The hybrids identified in each practice relate primarily to the fact that some of them possess ethos whose orientation is essentially traditional, by predominating customs and old family beliefs, but also be possible to observe an ethos with a modern orientation, whose action is based on purposes, since the groups need to develop cultural projects to ensure funding. Several responses of agents to the hybridisms were identified, among them the action of municipal councilors of culture and other leaders of the popular culture groups that act across multiple ethos; the existence of ways to make projects marked by informality; partnerships between artists of popular culture with cultural producers, as well as the growth of these professionals in popular culture etc. I conclude that labor relations in the popular culture of Agreste of Pernambuco is a complex network of different practices, sometimes with modern orientation, another times with traditional orientation, where several agents interact, sharing meanings ranging from political issues such as understanding that artists of popular culture need unite themselves to maintain dialogue and make pressure with the government, even traditional issues such as understanding the story of the death and resurrection of the Boi, in which each character has a role, meaning that mold all the fun of bumba meu boi. I also conclude that the interaction and conflict between the modern and traditional elements observed in these labor relations constitute interdependent relationship, since the modern does not exist without the traditional and the traditional needs of modern to stay alive.
O argumento da presente tese é que as relações de trabalho na cultura popular da região do Agreste pernambucano são constituídas por práticas situadas marcadas pelo hibridismo entre o moderno e o tradicional, característico da própria natureza deste trabalho e do contexto no qual ele é desenvolvido. Sendo assim, proponho que, dadas as especificidades do Agreste de Pernambuco e da cultura popular, é necessário entender as relações de trabalho como constituídas por práticas situadas, adotando um posicionamento ontológico relacional e um posicionamento epistemológico “prático”, através de estrutura de referência teórica que faz contraposição à concepção de John Dunlop sobre as relações de trabalho. Para investigar o alcance do argumento de tese, realizei pesquisa empírica com dois grupos de cultura popular na cidade de Caruaru-PE, nomeadamente o Boi Tira Teima e a Banda de Pífanos Zé do Estado. Para a concretização dessa pesquisa empírica, levantei informações a partir de orientação etnometodológica utilizando observação, entrevistas e documentação visual; análise com orientação etnometodológica para o reconhecimento das práticas que caracterizam as relações de trabalho em questão; e noções da análise sociológica do discurso, para identificação dos elementos modernos e tradicionais que compõem estas práticas, e as respostas a esses hibridismos. Por fim, identifiquei e analisei sete práticas através das quais se dão as relações de trabalho dessas duas manifestações da cultura popular, que, apesar de representativas, não esgotam a possibilidade de práticas existentes. Os hibridismos identificados em cada prática se relacionam, principalmente, ao fato de algumas delas possuírem ethos cuja orientação é essencialmente tradicional, por predominarem costumes e crenças familiares antigos, mas também ser possível observar um ethos com orientação moderna, cuja ação é baseada em fins, uma vez que os grupos precisam elaborar projetos culturais para garantir recursos financeiros. Várias respostas dos agentes a estes hibridismos foram identificadas, entre elas, a ação dos conselheiros municipais de cultura e outros líderes de grupos da cultura popular que caminham entre vários ethos; a existência de formas de fazer projetos marcadas pela informalidade; as parcerias dos artistas da cultura popular com os produtores culturais, bem como o crescimento desses profissionais na cultura popular, etc. Concluo que as relações de trabalho na cultura popular do Agreste pernambucano são uma rede complexa de práticas diversas, ora com orientação moderna, ora com orientação tradicional, na qual agentes também diversos interagem, compartilhando significados que vão desde questões políticas, como a compreensão de que os artistas da cultura popular precisam se unir para manter diálogo e realizar pressão junto ao poder público, até questões mais tradicionais, como a compreensão da história da morte e ressurreição do Boi, na qual cada personagem possui um papel, significado que molda toda a brincadeira do bumba meu boi. Concluo, também, que o convívio e conflito entre os elementos modernos e tradicionais observados nessas relações de trabalho constituem relação de interdependência, pois o moderno não existe sem o tradicional, e o tradicional precisa do moderno para se manter vivo.

This dissertation shows reflections about the Festivity in Honor of Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Benedict of Village João Vaz (Goiânia, GO) and the body movements of the congo’s dancers of Terno de Congo Verde e Preto focusing on processing procedures and permanence which are subject traditions and expressions of popular culture. The Rosary celebrations of black men are also known as Congada parties or Congado are produced from a conversion universe to Catholicism present in Brazil, since the colonial period with an ambiguous character who reconstructed and a new meant the sacred made its own and articulated with knowledge and concepts bounded to the ancestral notion of Bantu people. Onwards from a theoretical reference aligned by an interdisciplinary aproach the research purpose is to perceive how the congadeiros of Village João Vaz, especially the participants of congo’s dancers, they living the processes of transformation and permanence of their rituals and body movements (dancing, singing and drumming). To do this, initially, will be shown the structure of the Feast of the João Vaz, its relations with Congada Party of Catalan (GO), and main ceremonies, enabling the perception of the cycle of the Feaste, from the participation of Terno de Congo Verde e Preto. Then we will discuss about the contact’s points between the processes of urbanization and modernity and the ceremonies of the Feast of João Vaz that have presented to “congadeiros” the necessity of modifications and new meanings in their rituals, as the demands of urban life. So understand that, the same time that the life settings in the city point to the formation of an individualistic and apathetic subjectivit based on monetary values it was observed as the existence of manifestations of popular culture as the Congada between others present in regions considered marginalized comunities that they went occupied by people with limited financial resources who value sociability, solidarity coexistence affection and friendship. Finally, we will discuss about how the dancers of Terno de Congo Verde e Preto are living the changes and continuities in the configuration of body movements and rituals they perform, in view of the embodiment of knowledge that are manifested in dancing, singing and drumming, as basic features make up the african-Brazilian performances. The survey conducted the understanding of the interrelationships between the material sphere of existence and spiritual or symbolic sphere that operated in the manifestations of popular culture. This being one of the aspects that allow the observation of their movements and transformations and the realization that the knowledge of Congada that are sedimented in Congadeiro(congo dancer) body in built-in memory, the formation of a habitus, which manifests in festive ceremonies and celebration rituals.
Esta dissertação apresenta reflexões sobre a Festa em Louvor a Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito da Vila João Vaz (Goiânia, GO) e os movimentos corporais dos dançadores do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto, tendo como foco os processos de transformação e permanência, os quais estão sujeitas as tradições e manifestações da cultura popular. As festas do rosário dos homens pretos, também conhecidas como Festas de Congada, ou Congado, são produzidas a partir de um universo de conversão ao catolicismo, presentes no Brasil, desde o período colonial possuindo um caráter polissêmico, que reconstituiu e ressignificou o sagrado feito de uma forma própria e articulada a saberes e concepções vinculadas à noção de ancestralidade dos povos Bantos. Partindo de um referencial teórico alinhado por um eixo interdisciplinar, o intuito da pesquisa é perceber como os congadeiros da Vila João Vaz, em especial os participantes do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto, vivenciam os processos de transformação e permanência de seus rituais e movimentos corporais(danças, cantos e batuques). Para tanto, inicialmente, será apresentada a estrutura da Festa da João Vaz, suas relações com a Festa de Congada de Catalão (GO) e principais cerimônias, possibilitando a percepção do ciclo da Festa, a partir da participação do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto. Em seguida, será discutido a respeito dos pontos de contato entre os processos de urbanização e da modernidade e as cerimônias da Festa da João Vaz que têm apresentado aos congadeiros a necessidade de modificações e ressignificações em seus rituais, conforme as exigências da vida urbana. Percebe-se que, ao mesmo tempo em que as configurações da vida na cidade apontam para a formação de uma subjetividade individualista e apática, fundamentada por valores monetários, observa-se, também, a existência de manifestações da cultura popular, como a Congada, entre outras, presentes em regiões consideradas marginalizadas, ocupadas por populações com poucos recursos financeiros, que valorizam a sociabilidade, a convivência solidária o afeto e a amizade. Finalmente, discutiremos sobre como os congadeiros do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto vivenciam as transformações e permanências na configuração dos movimentos corporais e rituais que realizam, tendo em vista a corporificação de saberes que são manifestados no dançar, cantar e batucar, como características básicas que compõem as performances afro-brasileiras. A pesquisa possibilitou o entendimento das inter-relações entre a esfera material da existência e a esfera espiritual ou simbólica que operam nas manifestações da cultura popular, sendo este um dos aspectos que permitem a observação de seus movimentos e transformações; bem como a percepção de que os saberes da Congada estão sedimentados no corpo do congadeiro, em uma memória incorporada, pela constituição de um habitus, que se manifesta nas cerimônias festivas e nos rituais de celebração.

Abstract:
Paradigms convey notions of fixed prescribed practices and examples that offer solutions to deal with the vagaries of human organizations and behavior. To define something as a paradigm freezes a sometime evanescent concept and fixes it with a phrase that enhances popular understanding and adoption. Paradigms offer a simplicity and degree of standardization to ideas that often become cliches, and, as such, inevitably entrain paradoxes. The world of production and manufacturing consists of multiple complex enterprises, industries, organizations, processes, relationships and cultures. There are many contradictions, contrasts, and dichotomies that change with time. This paper endeavors a historic and philosophic essay on some of the origins and paradoxes that surround our currently recommended production systems practices.

Abstract:
The element of nonconformity in opposition to the authoritarianism of the official culture present in European folk carnival festivities traveled with European colonisers to the Americas, where they were met by diverse African and Indigenous traditions, giving birth to new forms of manifestation in the melting pot of cultures collateral to colonialism. Existing under a colonial system willing to suppress any subversive or marginal aspects, diasporic Black culture made use of carnivalesque modes of representation to temporarily subvert the authority of the official institutions, having the resistance against dominant power through the crossing of its culture as an important part of surviving in this environment, connected with the local hopes, aspirations and tragedies of those who occupy to this day the margins of society. In Brazil, many of these marginal manifestations happen as festivals connected to the period of catholic celebrations. In this research I focused on how these elements can be identified in the collective popular manifestations of ‘Caretas do Acupe’ and ‘Nego Fugido’, both present in the region of Recôncavo Baiano, in Brazil. The strategies found in these manifestations pervade African-American manifestations associated with black cultural resistance, and display instances where African traditional practices crossed and resignified aspects of European culture, using the carnivalesque as the sign of double articulation that enabled them to create counter-narratives to mock, disrupt and resist colonial power. These ideas were then articulated in the photographic project ‘Careta, who are you?’, which explored narratives created to connect and mix my own moving cultural identity from Bahia while living in Aotearoa.

Abstract:
Over the past decade the online learning options have increased, they became more accessible and popular, thus determining higher education institutions to adapt their curriculum to incorporate the new educational paradigm. Blended education either made the transition between the traditional learning practices and the online learning or emphasised the need to balance the two opposites: face-to-face (in classroom) and online education. It shifted the perspective on a more complex student-centred education, acknowledging the differences in needs, environments and learning spaces required. In the case of artistic education, due to the vocational and hands-on component, the reform has been received with reluctance and skepticism. Artistic education core principles value the interaction between the maestro-teacher and the student as a fundamental stage in developing the artistic personality. Furthermore, the various techniques can be mastered by the student only through a trial-and-error phase constantly supervised by the teacher. The present paper emphasises the blended-learning process and end-results of a 5 years artistic educational project: "Time Maps. Real Communities-Virtual Worlds-Experimented Pasts", carried by a team of artists and professors from the National University of Arts from Bucharest. The novelty of our approach consisted in creating an interactive European network of "communities of practice" through in situ and online classes. The challenge and contrast consisted in revitalising the technological patrimony, ancient techniques and art practices by using state of the art technologies in education. The educational results and overall impact of the project will be detailed separately for each community with which we collaborated because of their different cultural contexts. The successful implementation of blended learning practices was a breakthrough for our team, contributing not only to a more updated learning experience for communities and students but also to a higher degree of continuous professional improvement of our team.

In The Public/Private in Modern Civilization, the 22nd Russian Scientific-Practical Conference (with international participation) (Yekaterinburg, April 16-17, 2020). Liberal Arts University – University for Humanities, Yekaterinburg, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.35853/ufh-public/private-2020-04.
Abstract:
The prerequisites for this study are criticism of postmodernism by theorists and philosophers of culture, and the actualisation of metamodernism as one of the most popular theories of postmodernism. The relevance of the study is determined by the appearance of a ‘new sensitivity’ having arisen from geopolitical events of the 2000s. Metamodernism theory authors declare the new structure of sensation to be different from the dominants of postmodernism and modernism. The article describes the transformation of the representation of cultural traumas in public discourse with the consideration of ideas of metamodernism and a new frankness. The article covers the methodological capabilities for using postmodernism and metamodernism discourses for analysing the principles of representation of cultural trauma within public discourse. Distinguishing features of new frankness are highlighted. Immortal Regiment action is analysed as an example of actualisation of personal experience and family history in public discourse. The concept of ‘new frankness’ increases the role and significance of the witness. The examples of works of contemporary mass culture and media resources are used to trace the actualisation of the witness’s narrative of cultural trauma. Warmth, depth, and affect, characteristic of metamodernism, actualise the demand for plausibility and personal experience of an event. An indirect effect of these hypotheses consists in that narratives on cultural trauma are multivariate as manifested in criticism of the conventional image of a historic event. Re-evaluating historical events from different points of view triggers mechanisms of latent trauma, potentially making almost any historical event a cultural trauma. The study resulted in the revelation of accentuation of sensitivity in narratives of cultural traumas, as opposed to manners prevailing in modernism and postmodernism discourses, i.e. practices of stigmatisation, suppression, and the commodification of cultural traumas.

Abstract:
This paper proposes using different concepts for guiding institutional practices in times of digitally changing professional teaching work environments. This paper draws upon our previous research and offers a first step of a framework, to understand and explore the new digital changes for professional teaching and learning practice, while engaging in online and virtual work and learning environments. Thereby focusing on the notion of a professional and the social implications of digital work technologies that are used for teaching and learning. The theoretical paper is structured around concepts we identified in our previous work and its potential of adopting them in the context of digital communities of professional practices. Addressing these objectives can hopefully help us to understand, what the effects of digital professional teaching work environments on teaching practice and for teacher’s professional responsibility are, their social effects in everyday teacher work and their practice related knowledge? What capabilities, features or skills are enabling teachers to do so and what guidelines can help them to cope with the current changes? And ultimately, how workplaces, schools and universities can benefit from these ideas? We focus on both human social factors and digital material factors as being inherent to professional teaching and learning practice. We hereby build upon concepts derived from socio-cultural and socio-material theories which are currently not commonly used in the same context, such as: communities of practice which is popular in socio-cultural learning theories whereby the understanding of human development relies on the social world; and extending the community of practice with materiality whereby human development also involves the material world. We contribute with this paper by suggesting that our framework, drawing on concepts of two different but related learning theories is useful for further research, such as on the institutional and individual response to digital change in teaching and learning practice. We believe that our theoretical informed conceptual approach enables to inform an increased professionality of teaching professionals in times of digital work change, activates thinking about different concepts, a change of mindset or at least provide the guidelines for an improved understanding among those involved in teaching practice.

Akbari, Mohammadreza, Steven J Clarke, and Shaghayegh Maleki Far. "Outsourcing Best Practice - The Case of Large Construction Firms in Iran." In InSITE 2017: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: Vietnam. Informing Science Institute, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/3737.
Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: During an evolutionary time for Iran the purpose of this research study was to establish the outsourcing best practices in the area of supply chain by investigating in the construction firms in Iran, which is identified as the most successful industry in outsourcing. Background: Clarifying outsourcing decisions have been a difficult and challenging task because the outsourcing itself is complex. Meanwhile, the construction industry is recognized as one of the most complex and vibrant industries, although no concentration was set to outsourcing practices and its approach in construction firms in Iran. This paper aims to address this gap. Methodology: Based on a combination of academic literature, screening interviews, and survey, data was collected from Iranian construction firms involved in outsourcing. Participants were senior managers and CEOs from twenty one large construction firms in Tehran. The analysis methods in this study were centered on comparative analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation, and relative important indices. Contribution: The paper offers insight into outsourcing decisions, focusing on Iranian construction firms. Findings: The findings identified that construction firms regularly choose to outsource their operation functions/processes to find operational expertise, a wider pool of knowledge and experience, and cost restructuring. The study revealed that selective outsourcing was the popular practiced outsourcing type in construction firms. On the other hand, the study has acknowledged that construction firms mainly practiced strategic outsourcing as a level of outsourcing. The study established that conducting a need analysis prior to making the outsourcing decision is the outsourcing success element for Iranian construction firms. Lastly, the result shows that nearly two thirds of the large construction firms were identified as successful at outsourcing process. Recommendations for Practitioners and Researchers: The outcomes of this research offer practical value for construction managers and researchers to choose the best outsourcing practices method. Impact on Society As the sanctions are removed, it is predicted the economic settings in Iran will become more firm and the findings of the study will assist the successful implementation of outsourcing in economic growth of Iran. Future Research: To further development of this study, an in-depth investigation into risks involved in outsourcing, reasons to insource, economical and environmental effects on outsourcing process, cultural and social effects, as well as the result of sanctions on the process of outsourcing can provide more insight to the outsourcing practitioners.

Abstract:
Multilingualism in urban spaces is mainly studied as an oral practice. Nevertheless, linguistic landscape studies can serve as a good explorative method for studying multilingualism in written practices. Moreover, resent research on linguistic landscapes (Blommaert 2013; Shohamy et. al. 2010; Backhaus 2006) have shed some light on the power relations between different ethnic groups in urban public space. Multilingual practices exist in a certain ideological context, and not only official language policy but speaker linguistic stereotypes and attitudes can influence and modify those practices. Historically, South Korea tended to be oriented towards monolingualism; one nation-one people-one language ideology was domineering public discourse. However, globalization and recent increase in migration resulted in gradual changes in attitudes towards multilingualism (Lo and Kim 2012). The linguistic landscapes of Seoul, on the one hand, reflect these changes, and However, they demonstrates pragmatic inequality of languages other than South Korean in public use. This inequality, though, is represented differently in certain spatial urban contexts. The proposed paper aims at analyzing data on linguistic landscapes of Seoul, South Korea ,with the focus on different contexts of language use and different sets of norms and ideological constructs underlying particular linguistic choices. In my presentation I will examine data from three urban contexts: ‘general’ (typical for most public spaces); ‘foreign-oriented’ (seen in tourist oriented locations such as airport, expensive hotels, or popular historical sites, which dominates the Itaewon district); and ‘ethnic-oriented’ (specific for spaces created by and for ethnic minority groups, such as Mongolian / Central Asian / Russian districts near the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park station). I will show that foreign languages used in public written communication are embedded into different frameworks in these three urban contexts, and that the patterns of their use vary from pragmatically oriented ones to predominately symbolic ones, with English functioning as a substitution for other foreign languages, as an emblem of ‘foreignness.’

Abstract:
Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) can achieve positive biodiversity outcomes in a larger area than is covered by protected areas. But this requires OECMs to be better integrated into sustainable production systems in conjunction with protected areas. Good examples of productive social-ecological systems exist. Recognising potential OECMs requires recognising the cultures that make them possible. Recommendations: (i) fully recognise and support the role of culture in fostering interlinked human–nature relationships and nurturing biodiversity in production landscapes and seascapes; (ii) develop sustainable market mechanisms using landscape approaches that promote respect for local cultures and the rights of all stakeholders; (iii) apply good practices for empowering cultures to enhance long-term biodiversity outcomes; (iv) provide innovative incentives including capacity development to encourage local communities to manage their landscapes and seascapes for biodiversity conservation.

bin Ahsan, Wahid, Imran Hossain, Habibur Rahman, Nasir Uddin, Kazi Harunur Rashid, Shahariar Ratul, Zannatul Ferdous, Fariha Islam, and Abu MD Ehsan. Global Mobile App Accessibility: A Comparative Study of WCAG Compliance Across 12 Countries. Userhub, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.58947/mxrc-rzkh.
Abstract:
This study assesses the accessibility of mobile applications across twelve countries, including the USA, Vietnam, Turkey, Ireland, and South Korea. Our evaluation of 60 popular apps reveals a widespread failure to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), with Vietnam exhibiting the highest average of 41.2 violations per app. These violations were particularly prevalent in essential areas such as touch target size and color contrast, critical for users with visual and motor impairments. Despite robust accessibility laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the USA and the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in the EU, our findings indicate a significant gap between these legal frameworks and their practical application. Our study highlights the urgent need for a multifaceted approach that includes strict enforcement, enhanced developer education with a focus on cross-cultural accessibility, and international cooperation. This research underscores the importance of integrating accessibility as a core component of digital infrastructure development to ensure mobile applications are truly accessible to all users.

Hart, Heidi. Everybody Wants to Be ‘Origines’: Nativism, Neo-pagan Appropriation, and Ecofascism. European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), March 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.55271/pp0005x.
Abstract:
This paper explores the tensions that emerge in neo-pagan media and practices, when they appeal not only to far-right enthusiasts but also to those with a left-leaning, environmentalist bent. New Age appropriation of Indigenous cultures and the anti-human temptations of ecofascism further complicate the picture. Ultimately, any group that follows a purity mentality, seeking deep, unadulterated roots in nature, risks nativist thinking and exclusion of those without the privilege of imagining themselves doing heroic deeds in equally imaginary, old-growth woods.

White, Lauren. Managed Retreat: An Introduction and Exploration of Policy Options. American Meteorological Society, October 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/managed-retreat-2022.
Abstract:
As sea levels rise, 100-year floods occur more frequently than ever, and permafrost melts at unprecedented rates, these phenomena (and others) inflict change in our environment that may necessitate action. Proactive measures against environmental threats include protection, accommodation, and relocation. Protective and accommodating actions such as building sea walls and elevating structures can often be sufficient, but some communities may be at greater risk for hazards. Managed retreat is a tool for community adaptation to repeated environmental threats that involves the physical relocation of people, structures, and infrastructures away from areas exposed to repeat hazards. Though conversations surrounding managed retreat are becoming more commonplace in academic literature and public policy vernacular, the practice has been around for decades, as explained in the case studies at the end of this document. Managed retreat is not particularly a popular choice: much of our human experience is tied to the place where we live, our neighbors, shared location-based history and culture, and a sense of belonging. There are four main goals for this document: 1) to provide relevant, useful, introductory information to demystify retreat for decision-makers; 2) to encourage and enable conversations around this adaptive strategy; 3) to promote a framework of continual education and emphasize that progress on managed retreat is grounded in iterative processes instead of a one-time activity; and 4) to provide a range of potential actionable next steps tailored to community and local audiences.

Maiangwa, Benjamin. Peace (Re)building Initiatives: Insights from Southern Kaduna, Nigeria. RESOLVE Network, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37805/pn2021.22.lpbi.
Abstract:
Violent conflicts and crime have reached new heights in Nigeria, as cases of kidnapping, armed banditry, and communal unrests continue to tear at the core of the ethnoreligious divides in the country. Southern Kaduna has witnessed a virulent spree of communal unrest in northern Nigeria over the last decade due to its polarized politics and power differentials between the various groups in the area, particularly the Christians and Muslims, who are almost evenly split. In response to their experiences of violence, the people of that region have also shown incredible resilience and grit in transforming their stress and suffering. This policy note focuses on the transformative practices of the Fulani and other ethnic communities in southern Kaduna in terms of how they problem-solve deep-seated socio-political rivalries and violent relations by working through their shared identity, history, and cultures of peace. The note explores how peace practitioners and donor agencies could consolidate local practices of sustaining peace as complementary or alternative resources to the state’s liberal system.

Ojha, Alina, Nosariemen Nosakhare, Janeth Amwoma, Morgan Kabeer, and Blandina Bobson. Shifting Narratives to Value Unpaid and Informal Work in Kenya. Oxfam International, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.21201/2024.000021.
Abstract:
Unpaid Care and Domestic Work (UCDW) and Paid Domestic Work (PDW) are essential to societal wellbeing. However, these activities often carry negative perceptions, attitudes and beliefs when performed by men and boys. As a result, women and girls typically shoulder the primary responsibility for performing UCDW. Similarly, society often undervalues PDW by perceiving it as low-skilled work, as demonstrated through low remuneration and unfair employment practices. The narratives many cultures embrace concerning UCDW and PDW partly explain why these essential activities frequently fall on women and girls, and why society often undervalues PDW. This report documents a collaborative research project between Busara Center for Behavioral Economics and Oxfam to investigate existing narratives on UCDW and PDW in Kenya, and test potentially transformative narratives that could shift societal attitudes.

Raykov, Tenko. Latent Class Analysis and Mixture Modeling. Instats Inc., 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.61700/tkd5fah8evykd469.
Abstract:
Latent class analysis (LCA) and mixture models (MM) are an applied statistical method for examining heterogeneity in studied populations. The method can be used to evaluate whether a studied population consists of an initially unknown number of several subpopulations (latent classes, types, clusters) that differ in important ways. This workshop introduces participants to the general field of classification (clustering), using LCA as a model-based version of cluster analysis and moving on to more general mixture modeling with latent variables. Hands-on examples with best practices for analysis and inference are used throughout in the popular program Mplus. An official Instats certificate of completion is provided at the conclusion of the seminar. For European PhD students, the seminar offers 2 ECTS Equivalent points.

Abstract:
"You are what you eat." It's a familiar expression, but do youhave any idea how true it is? Food does a lot more than simply nourish our bodies; it's an essential part of who we are. When we gather together to produce, prepare, and consume food, we are part of a community. The passing down of food traditions from generation to generation helps form our very identity. One of the best ways to learn about the history of different places and cultures is to eat the local food. How people eat shows us how they've adapted to the geographical and climatic conditions in their region. The same food may have different names, uses, and methods of preparation in different places, depending on local traditions and needs as well as local geography and agricultural practices. Over the centuries, these differences have given rise to a wide range of traditional regional dishes, recipes, and cooking styles, some of which remain favorites.

Buttigieg, Pier Luigi. Guidance on Versioning of Digital Assets. HMC Office, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.3289/hmc_publ_04.
Abstract:
Versioning of data and metadata is a crucial - but often overlooked - topic in scientific work. Using the wrong version of a (meta)data set can lead to drastically difference outcomes in interpretation, and lead to substantial, propagating downstream errors. At the same time, past versions of (meta)data sets are valuable records of the research process which should be preserved for transparency and complete reproducibility. Further, the final version of (meta)data sets may actually include errors that previous versions did not. Thus, careful version control is the foundation for trust in and broad reusability of research and operational (meta)data. This document provides an introduction to the principles of versioning, technical recommendations on how to manage version histories, and discusses some pitfalls and possible solutions. In the first part of this document, we present examples of change processes that require proper management and introduce popular versioning schemes. Finally, the document presents recommended practices for researchers as well as for infrastructure developers.
