This book provides its readers with an introduction to interesting prediction and science dynamics problems in the field of Science of Science. Prediction focuses on the forecasting of future performance (or impact) of an entity, either a research article or a scientist, and also the prediction of future links in collaboration networks or identifying missing links in citation networks. The single chapters are written in a way that help the reader gain a detailed technical understanding of the corresponding subjects, the strength and weaknesses of the state-of-the-art approaches for each described problem, and the currently open challenges. While chapter 1 provides a useful contribution in th...
Intellectual Property Issues in Nanotechnology focuses on the integrated approach for sustained innovation in various areas of nanotechnology. The theme of this book draws to a great extent on the industrial and socio-legal implications of intellectual property rights for nanotechnology-based advances. The book takes a comprehensive look not only at the role of intellectual property rights in omics-based research but also at the ethical and intellectual standards and how these can be developed for sustained innovation. This book attempts to collate and organize information on current attitudes and policies in several emerging areas of nanotechnology. Adopting a unique approach, this book integrates science and business for an inside view of the industry. Peering behind the scenes, it provides a thorough analysis of the foundations of the present day industry for students and professionals alike.
Pattern recognition is a central topic in contemporary computer sciences, with continuously evolving topics, challenges, and methods, including machine learning, content-based image retrieval, and model- and knowledge-based - proaches, just to name a few. The Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recog- tion (CIARP) has become established as a high-quality conference, highlighting the recent evolution of the domain. These proceedings include all papers presented during the 15th edition of this conference, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in November 2010. As was the case for previous conferences, CIARP 2010 attracted parti- pants from around the world with the aim of promoting and disseminating - goin...
This book highlights new scientific research about how people learn, including interdisciplinary perspectives from neuroscience, the social, cognitive and behavioural sciences, education, computer and information sciences, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and engineering.

Knowledge is a result of never-ending processes of circulation. This accessible volume is the first comprehensive multidisciplinary work to explore these processes through the perspective of scholars working outside of Anglo-American paradigms. Through a variety of literature reviews, examples of recent research and in-depth case studies, the chapters demonstrate that the analysis of knowledge circulation requires a series of ontological and epistemic commitments that impact its conceptualisation and methodologies. Bringing diverse viewpoints from across the globe and from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, economics, history, political science, sociology and Science & Technolog...
Chen, He and Yan present a range of applications of multiple-source big data to core areas of contemporary sociology, demonstrating how a theory-guided approach to macrosociology can help to understand social change in China, especially where traditional approaches are limited by constrained and biased data. In each chapter of the book, the authors highlight an application of theory-guided macrosociology that has the potential to reinvigorate an ambitious, open-minded and bold approach to sociological research. These include social stratification, social networks, medical care, and online behaviours among many others. This research approach focuses on macro-level social process and phenomena...
A produção científica, em todo campo do conhecimento, tem como premissa o fato de um pesquisador construir seu trabalho sustentado em publicações anteriores. Nesse contexto, o registro da lista de referências em um trabalho científico expressa o diálogo estabelecido pelo pesquisador com seus pares, bem como o processo de construção do seu conhecimento, uma vez que evidencia quais os referenciais teóricos e metodológicos constituíram a fundamentação durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. As referências registradas nos trabalhos científicos definem, assim, a ciência legitimada e reconhecida como relevante para o desenvolvimento conceitual, teórico e metodológico de uma tem...
Publicar um livro que realiza uma síntese das questões trabalhadas nos 30 anos de um Programa de Pós-graduação em Planejamento Urbano e Regional (PPGPLUR) é algo bastante desafiador e um tanto quanto “injusto”, pois a amplitude das discussões certamente não será alcançada neste volume. No entanto, o grupo de professores e alunos do PPGPLUR da Univap, em seu VIII Seminário, realizado em março de 2023, deliberou pelo enfrentamento desse desafio. Sabe-se que, de 1993 a 2023, esse Programa enfrentou um cenário ainda de consolidação democrática, em que a política urbana brasileira foi reconstruída por discussões que envolveram diferentes profissionais: arquitetos e urbanist...
Neste livro estão reunidos textos de autores de diferentes partes do mundo. Apesar da diversidade de nacionalidades, origens, filiações teóricas e perfis, três traços unem os integrantes desse conjunto heterogêneo de destacados nomes no cenário da pesquisa educacional brasileira e internacional. Um é o reconhecimento inequívoco do imenso valor das pesquisas realizadas e das teses defendidas por Bernard Charlot, sobre a relação com o saber e outros temas de igual relevância. O outro, o fato de todos terem tido algum tipo de parceria acadêmica com Bernard Charlot ao longo de sua longeva carreira (como parceiros de pesquisa, em coautorias de textos, na organização de encontros acadêmicos, em participação de bancas etc.). E, finalmente, o fato de todos estabelecerem um laço de amizade, de respeito e de admiração por esse simpático e generoso francês, que sempre foi um cidadão do mundo, com sua notável capacidade de interagir com o outro, esteja ele em que lugar estiver e que posição ocupar.
