Humor in Anthropology and Ethnic Studies
In his Ethnic Humor around the World, Christie Davies charts the joking targets in 28 different countries. The ones given below are the most recognizable: Americans consider Poles, Italians, and Portuguese as stupid while Jews, Scots, and New Englanders to be tricky. Canadians consider Newfies as stupid and Jews, Scots, and Nova Scotians as tricky. Mexicans consider+ people from Yucatan as stupid and people from Monterey as tricky. Nigerians consider Hausas as stupid and Ibos as tricky. The English, Welsh and French consider the Irish, Belgians, and Swiss as stupid, and the Scots and Jews as tricky.
Davies also said that the most common targets of ethnic humor, live on the geographical, economic, or linguistic edges of the society or culture where the jokes are told. They live in small communities, or rural areas on the periphery of a nation, and are immigrants concentrated in blue-collar occupations. “There is no evidence that the targets are stupid, but they occupy stupid locations.” Also, the marginalized groups learn about the mainstream groups, but the mainstream groups remain ignorant of the marginalized groups.
The joke tellers identify with the target groups by seeing them as comically stupid versions of themselves. The best joking relationship between two groups is when the groups exhibit both “attachment and separation,” along with “social conjunction and social disjunction.”

There are no restrictions with regard to languages. You may create two pages in two languages. See this help page for instructions how to add published or unpublished research to ResearchGate: https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293005132305-How-to-add-research. I did this for some of my German publications. One page is for the original publication in German (example: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366593463), the other one for the unpublished English translation (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366985534). I choose "Data" as type for the unpublished version and added links to the other versions in the abstract fields of both versions. - By the way, I recommend https://www.deepl.com as translator; it is free, but to translate complete files one has to subscribe and pay a monthly fee.

This project's general research objective is to determine to what extent Portuguese Management Degree courses are training professionals aligned with the needs and challenges of the business environment, based on the perception of students, alumni and employing companies.
Relevant answer
Answer
The alignment between higher education delivered by management courses in Portugal and market demands may vary and is dependent on a number of variables. Consider the following crucial points:
Curriculum Relevance: The degree to which management courses fit with market demands is determined by the curriculum's design. The curriculum is more likely to be linked with market demands if it is revised on a regular basis to reflect current industry trends, integrates real-world case studies, and includes feedback from industry experts.
Collaboration with Industry: Collaboration between institutions and the business sector may improve alignment. Universities may obtain insights into current market demands and alter their programmes if they have good links with local companies. Internship programmes, guest lectures, and research partnerships are examples of this.
Adaptability and flexibility: The corporate environment is dynamic, and market demands change over time. Management programmes that are adaptable and flexible are more likely to give graduates the skills and knowledge that are presently in demand.
Faculty Credentials and Experience: The credentials and experience of faculty members play an important role in matching education with market demands. Professors with hands-on expertise in the sector and a deep awareness of industry trends may help students better prepare for the real world.
Career Services and Placement: The availability and efficacy of career services and placement assistance at universities may also have an influence on the alignment of education and the labour market. It is possible to improve alignment if colleges have excellent career services departments that assist students in finding suitable internships and employment opportunities.
Student Engagement: Participation in extracurricular activities, industry conferences, and networking events may all help with alignment. Students who actively seek out chances to connect with the business sector are more likely to be job-ready.
Government Policies: Government policies and laws may have an impact on how education and the market are aligned. Government programmes to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, for example, may generate a need for graduates with certain talents.

Her we deals with questions of metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind from the vantage point of physics. Combining general philosophy with physics, it covers such topics as the definition of matter, the nature of space, motion, gravity, electromagnetic fields, the character of physical knowledge, and consciousness and meaning. We defend a version of “structuralism”: the thesis that our knowledge is partial and merely abstract, leaving a large epistemological gap at the center of physics.We connect this element of mystery to parallel mysteries in relation to the mind. Consciousness emerges as just one more mystery of physics. A theory of matter and space is developed, according to which the impenetrability of matter is explained as the deletion of volumes of space. We propose a philosophy of science that distinguishes physics from both psychology and biology, explores the ontology of energy, and considers the relevance of physics to seemingly remote fields such as the theory of meaning. In the form of a series of aphorisms.

Complexity is an area (field, paradigm???) that presently spans through many scientific fields. From Mathematics and (so called) Econophysics to Biology and Social Sciences.
And, yes, there are many researchers of Complexity in all of them.
But in my literature revision, when writing an article, I realized that Edgar Morin's La Méthode (a work of six volumes) does not have an English version.
The fact that Morin is alive at 100 years old and perhaps one of the most important philosophers of our time (in Complexity, certainly) is just as incomprehensible as to know that I read in Portuguese with a very good translation and it is also published in Spanish (I did not research other possible translations).

Guys! I'm writing in English but you can answer in Portuguese. Currently I'm conducting a research using validated innovation capabilities scale of 4 factors developed for manufacturing firms (validation with 1300 companies). After obtaining 50 questions as pilot test (which was supposed to be a pure formality), I conducted the factor analysis which showed completely different results from the factor in original scale, without any logic of allocation of variables into factors, and the number of factors in much higher, and cronbach alpha for many factors are below 0.6.
Some details: The application process have been going really well. The sample I'm using is composed by manufacturing firms located in the same country of the article's survey which validated the construct. What I noticed is that in my sample vast majority of firms are either high-capabilities or medium-capabilities, while in the survey used by the article that validated the scale the majority are low-capabilities. Therefore, in my sample the standard deviations for each factor is around 0,4, while mean is about 3.9-4.4 in scale of 5.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Andrei,
A sample of 50 is too small for exploratory factoring for a measure with four or more factors. In your case, if any analysis were to make sense, I'd say it would have been a confirmatory analysis, checking whether the previously validated factor structure works adequately to explain the observed relationships among variables in your sample.
Why can factor solutions vary from what has been previously published?
1. Sample variation. The smaller the N, the greater the risk that sampling variation alone is sufficient to yield "disparate" factor structures for the same measure, even when the samples are drawn from the same population.
2. Cultural/language differences. Perhaps, in your case, the culture of the companies you selected is sufficiently different from that of the companies used by the developers of the measure that respondents are not interpreting the items, questions, or stimuli in the same manner.
3. Different extraction / rotation / salience decisions applied to the factoring process.
4. Changes in perception due to time or some event (e.g., the market crash in 2008).
5. And so on...
The fact that you're observing much smaller variation in factor scores could suggest: (a) an overfitted factor model (too many factors); (b) a sample that, compared to that used by the measure developers, was far less heterogeneous; or (c) some combination.
In any event, I'd hold off on disseminating these results as being "gospel" until I had more data in hand.
Good luck with your work.

I am using the ANSYS program, via the APDL line of code, to develop an optimization study. I modeled the structure in APDL, processed and am deactivating (EKILL) and reactivating (EALEAVE), if necessary, the elements according to their deforming energy state. I store the results of strain energy values in an array at each step. I noticed a problem that worried me: the stored values of the deformation energies of the elements deactivated by ANSYS APDL (via EKILL), at one point in the interactive process, remain in the matrix, in the next step, when a new matrix is generated for store the deformation energies of the elements within a new processing configuration. I think these values should be zero for these elements. Could someone clarify me these results?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi,
Please check the explanation from ANSYS:
To achieve the "element death" effect, the ANSYS program does not actually remove "killed" elements. Instead, it deactivates them by multiplying their stiffness (or conductivity, or other analogous quantity) by a severe reduction factor [ESTIF]. This factor is set to 1.0E-6 by default, but can be given other values (see Section 6.2.2 for more information). Element loads associated with deactivated elements are zeroed out of the load vector, however, they still appear in element-load lists. Similarly, mass, damping, specific heat, and other such effects are set to zero for deactivated elements. The mass and energy of deactivated elements are not included in the summations over the model. An element's strain is also set to zero as soon as that element is killed.
Hope this helps.

It could be simple: a mine= a school or an Hospital. If mining societies weren't so stupidly greedy, they should get aware it could help a lot of people, and that way, maybe they won't be bothered by local maffia and maybe, if offering a new quality of life, maybe they could prospect in zones they weren't welcome.

Answer
My familiarity with Portugal is limited, except some history. Sustainable activities and management consider both short term and long term. As humans, we tend to be short sighted, not always recognizing details that make a difference later. Am I building my home on the floodplain or next to high power electric lines, geologic fault or unstable slope? How much risk and cost is too much? I am building a house on a budget, intend to move in 5 years, should I consider solar panels, metal roof, etc. These are just examples. Should we allow the forest to be clear cut, or removed in logical units through time, allowing for regeneration. Should we allow mining without an adequate plan to handle wastes and recover site with ample funds when finished. Who fixes things if bankrupcy occurS? Some activities are done without analyzing their sustainability, their cost to community or society. We plow up the earth or dedicate areas of impervious surfaces without much thought - it’s just what we do. To many, the gullies of past severe actions are just landscape features. With proper management and BMPs, they could likely have been prevented. Best management practices have been developed for a variety of reasons such as water quality. Sustainable or green activities have also been developed to manage forests, conserve farmlands, conserve energy, etc. There is some recognition of accomplishment for those that choose to live off the grid in near self sufficiency, but most of us are not so dedicated. There are many ideas, but whether they are reasonable enough to be implemented needs some consideration. What’s sustainable for me, may not necessarily be sustainable for you. But sharing of ideas is always gooD, and some of us more than others need encouragement to think Green.

The answers to the EQ5D survey can be translated into health utility values (HUV). HUVs are the unit of Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY), which is the unit of measurement used in cost utility analyses. The accuracy of the EQ5D representing HUVs is entirely dependent on the population that the particular version of the survey was validated on. Hopefully that helps.

Problems with water management are related to legal regulation? How can legal regulation provide integrated water management? What legislative solutions exist in each country? I am mainly interested in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and South American solutions.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Michael
Thank you very much for your inquiry. I am surprised that Australia has such water management problems. Basically, the market approach of water management has exceeded not only in Europe but in the whole world. Honestly, I primarily deal with water and wastewater public services. I was one of those who worked out the Hungarian regulations. If I understand the problem, it is mainly an environmental issue here.Indeed, it is a theoretical legal question of who owns the surface waters. In Hungary, the regulation of this area is under preparation. If I know correctly, Australia applies the Anglo-Saxon legal system. This can cause some problems if we make a comparison. I'm very happy to help you and I'm very honored to have you turned to me.

I accept the indication of texts in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

The questions of the Communicative Effectiveness Index (CETI, Lomas et al., 1989) and the Communicative Activity Log (CAL, Pulvermüller et al., 2001) can be used to assess the caregivers’ opinion on the language abilities in everyday life of a person with aphasia.

Answer
Hello Diego,
Since I live in Brazil, which was a Portuguese colony until 1922, I can only comment about what I know about how Portugal dealt with the locals and what was Portugal's policy in regard to the recently discovered lands which she occupied in the 1500s.
It is beyond any doubt that after Pedro A. Cabral discovered the Brazilian territory, all Portuguese expeditions sent here had the sole purpose of exploiting the new lands' natural resources. Brazil was rich in mineral ores and precious stones. The so-called "bandeiras" had the only function to discover where they existed. Once found, specially in what became the Minas Gerais state (General Mines, the name itself says a lot), for several centuries the Portuguese court explored them and hauled that immense richness back home.
Furthermore, before the trafficking of slaves from Africa, the Portuguese colonizers enslaved the local Indians, ill-treating them as later they did the same to the black slaves brought by force to the Brazilian "fazendas" in Portuguese hands.
In fact, Brazil's independence happened because the locals, descendants of Portuguese people, but having already acquired their own national identity as "Brazilians," revolted against Portugal's exploitation, taxation and political-military occupation. And, ironically, a Portuguese ruler - Don Pedro I - declared that independence as he congregated with the locals' feelings.
Similar abuses happened in all territories (terras d'além mar) that Portugal colonized. Just as a more recent example, the Mozambican independence revolution last for 10 years (1964-1974), as a result of the frustration amongst many Mozambicans, who saw the foreign rule as a form of exploitation and mistreatment, which sole purpose was to advance Portuguese economic interests. And the Mozambican independence was reached mainly because of the Carnation Revolution in 1974, which finally ended the Salazar era and created democracy in Portugal.
Therefore, if Margarido is very critical about Lusophony, he has good reasons and many similar examples to base his criticism. I recommend you read this paper, which speaks about Angola and clarifies why Margarido is so critical about the Portuguese dealings with colonized lands:
Les Porteurs : forme de domination et agents de changement en Angola (XVIIe-XIXe siècles)
Full text found here:
Interestingly, along the last two centuries, Brazilians kept no demurs in regard to Portugal and maintained very friendly relations with the Portuguese people an attitude which persists to our days. Subliminally though, the typical Brazilian jokes about the Portuguese seem to evoke some hidden bad feelings. Something for social psychologists to study and explain :-)
Be well and good luck in your research
Tom
