Documentary Analysis

This study aimed at analyzing the legislation on High-Performance Sports (HPS) and educational training in Brazil under the concept of Dual Career (DC). Through a documentary analysis, reflection questions about a national sports project capable of supporting the successful conciliation between sports and school/academic training in dual career dynamics were raised. Since the Constitution ensures equal conditions for access and continuation of education, clarity and understanding about the HPS development process and its demands regarding the conciliation with school/academic training is necessary. The analysis of the legislation in force in Brazil shows that student-athletes are not supported and that although some proposals in progress are advancing, they do not fully address the needs of DC. Therefore, alignment among the State, sports institutions, and school institutions is essential for developing specific rules so that athletes make the most of their sporting condition without losing sight of school/academic opportunities. === El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la legislación sobre el deporte de alto rendimiento (DAR) y la formación educacional en Brasil bajo el concepto de carrera dual (CD). A través del análisis documental, se plantearon preguntas para reflexionar sobre un proyecto deportivo nacional capaz de sostener la construcción exitosa de la conciliación entre el deporte y las formaciones escolares/académicas en la dinámica de la CD. Para garantizar la igualdad de condiciones de acceso y permanencia a los estudios presentes en la Constitución Federal es necesaria la claridad y la comprensión sobre el proceso de formación y desarrollo del DAR y sus demandas en relación con la conciliación con los estudios. El análisis de la legislación vigente en Brasil ilustra la falta de apoyo para el estudiante atleta y demuestra la existencia de propuestas que significan un avance, pero que no abordan completamente las necesidades de la CD. La alineación entre el Estado, las instituciones deportivas y las instituciones escolares es esencial para el desarrollo de normas específicas para que el atleta aproveche al máximo su condición deportiva sin perder las oportunidades escolares-académicas.

Dual Careers

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo proponer una taxonomía nacional a través de la identificación y clasificación de los entornos desarrolladores de carrera dual en España. A partir de los resultados del proyecto Erasmus+ Ecology of Dual Careers se ha realizado un análisis documental de los entornos que promueven la carrera dual a nivel nacional, así como una verificación y un análisis de sus características y necesidades a través del trabajo con asesoras1 de carrera dual de estos entornos. Los resultados sugieren la existencia de tres macrosistemas: (a) centros deportivos públicos, (b) clubes deportivos privados, y (c) centros educativos. Los centros deportivos públicos incluyen centros de alto rendimiento y de tecnificación deportiva. Los clubes deportivos privados incluyen clubes de alto rendimiento profesionales y amateurs, especializados y multideportivos. Por último, los centros educativos incluyen institutos y universidades. Cada uno de estos sistemas ofrece distintos programas de asistencia a la carrera dual. La figura de la asesora se repite en gran parte de los entornos, así como la oferta fija de servicios. Los programas de asistencia abarcan, en su gran mayoría, a estudiantes-deportistas que se encuentran en las mismas etapas de desarrollo a nivel deportivo (i.e., junior) y académico/profesional (i.e., educación secundaria). Como elementos que cabría mejorar, debería trabajarse para aumentar los entornos que promuevan la compaginación de deporte y trabajo, así como también extender este ejercicio a estudiantes-deportistas que representen poblaciones vulnerables (e.g., deportistas con discapacidad). === This work proposes a national taxonomy through the identification and classification of dual career development environments in Spain. Based on the results of the Erasmus+ Ecology of Dual Careers project, a documentary analysis of the environments that promote dual careers at a national level has been carried out, as well as a verification and analysis of their characteristics and needs through work with dual career support providers. The results suggest the existence of three macrosystems: (a) public sports centres, (b) private sport clubs, and (c) educational centres. Public sport centres include high performance and sport technification centres. Private sports clubs include professional and amateur high-performance clubs, specialized and multi-sports. Finally, educational centres include institutes and universities. Each of these systems offers different dual career assistance programs. The figure of the support provider is repeated in a large part of the environments, as well as the fixed offer of services. The dual career assistance programs cover, for the most part, student-athletes who are in the same sport’s development stages (i.e., junior) and academic/professional levels (i.e., secondary education). As elements for improvement, there is a lack of environments that promote the combination of sports and work, as well as extending this exercise to student-athletes who represent vulnerable populations (e.g., athletes with disabilities).

The study explores factors that motivate high-performance athletes to manage their dual career while studying in secondary school. The dual career experience of Latvian youth is obtained. The paper analyses the results from young high-performance athletes’ questionnaire, focusing on the support young athletes receive and would need to receive in their education and sports training process. A survey, based on an individual approach, was carried out in training camps and schools; 125 high-performance athletes of the secondary school age completed the questionnaire (19 questionnaires were filled in electronically). The gained data were processed with the statistics methods using SPSS Statistics and Excel programmes. The young people in the age range from 15-19 years study in secondary school, vocational school or in Year 1 of a higher education institution; this is a young athletes’ transitional period from youth leagues to junior or adult sports leagues. In the education process, 77 young athletes were supported by their parents (M-3)(according to the average value of the 4-point Likert Scale), and 70 respondents indicated teachers’ support (M-3); while in sports the support was received from trainers (M-3,70) and friends (M-3,42). The study analysed the contributing factors that motivated young athletes to gain education and achieve sports mastery. Young athletes up to 19 years sought more for their friends’ approval. Student-athletes chose to study in schools that offered opportunities to combine studies with high-performance sports. However, young student-athletes lacked motivation for studies.

Abstract The complexity of the reality studied by geographical research requires applying such methods which allow describing the state of affairs and ongoing changes in the best possible way. This study aims to present a model of research on selected aspects of the dynamics and structure of socio-economic development. The idea was to determine whether we deal with the process of reducing or widening the differences in terms of individual features. The article primarily pursues a methodological goal, and to a lesser extent an empirical one. The methodological objective of the paper was to propose and verify a multi-aspect approach to the study of development processes. The analyses carried out reveal that in terms of the features taken into account in the set of 24 of the largest Polish cities the dominating processes are those increasing differences between cities, which are unfavourable in the context of the adopted development policies aiming at reducing the existing disparities. In relation to the methodological objective, the results of the conducted research confirm the rationale of the application of the measures of dynamics and the feature variance to determine the character (dynamics and structure) of the socio-economic development process of cities. Comparatively less effective, especially for interpretation, is the application of principal component analysis and a multivariate classification, which is mainly the result of differences in the variance of particular features.

Mixed Precision

Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a high-performance computing platform for Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) inference. Winograd algorithm, weight pruning, and quantization are widely adopted to reduce the storage and arithmetic overhead of CNNs on FPGAs. Recent studies strive to prune the weights in the Winograd domain, however, resulting in irregular sparse patterns and leading to low parallelism and reduced utilization of resources. Besides, there are few works to discuss a suitable quantization scheme for Winograd. In this article, we propose a regular sparse pruning pattern in the Winograd-based CNN, namely, Sub-row-balanced Sparsity (SRBS) pattern, to overcome the challenge of the irregular sparse pattern. Then, we develop a two-step hardware co-optimization approach to improve the model accuracy using the SRBS pattern. Based on the pruned model, we implement a mixed precision quantization to further reduce the computational complexity of bit operations. Finally, we design an FPGA accelerator that takes both the advantage of the SRBS pattern to eliminate low-parallelism computation and the irregular memory accesses, as well as the mixed precision quantization to get a layer-wise bit width. Experimental results on VGG16/VGG-nagadomi with CIFAR-10 and ResNet-18/34/50 with ImageNet show up to 11.8×/8.67× and 8.17×/8.31×/10.6× speedup, 12.74×/9.19× and 8.75×/8.81×/11.1× energy efficiency improvement, respectively, compared with the state-of-the-art dense Winograd accelerator [20] with negligible loss of model accuracy. We also show that our design has 4.11× speedup compared with the state-of-the-art sparse Winograd accelerator [19] on VGG16.

Brazilian beekeeping has been developed from the africanization of the honeybees and its high performance launches Brazil as one of the world´s largest honey producer. The Southeastern region has an expressive position in this market (45%), but the state of Rio de Janeiro is the smallest producer, despite presenting large areas of wild vegetation for honey production. In order to analyze the honey productivity in the state of Rio de Janeiro, this research used classic and spatial regression approaches. The data used in this study comprised the responses regarding beekeeping from 1418 beekeepers distributed throughout 72 counties of this state. The best statistical fit was a semiparametric spatial model. The proposed model could be used to estimate the annual honey yield per hive in regions and to detect production factors more related to beekeeping. Honey productivity was associated with the number of hives, wild swarm collection and losses in the apiaries. This paper highlights that the beekeeping sector needs support and help to elucidate the problems plaguing beekeepers, and the inclusion of spatial effects in the regression models is a useful tool in geographical data.

Software development is getting more and more complex, especially within distributed middleware-based environments. A major drawback during the overall software development process is the lack of on-line tools, i.e. tools applied as soon as there is a running prototype of an application. The MIMO MIddleware MOnitor provides a solution to this problem by implementing a framework for an efficient development of on-line tools. This paper presents a methodology for developing on-line tools with MIMO. As an example scenario, we choose a distributed medical image reconstruction application, which represents a test case with high performance requirements. Our distributed, CORBA-based application is instrumented for being observed with MIMO and related tools. Additionally, load balancing mechanisms are integrated for further performance improvements. As a result, we obtain an integrated tool environment for observing and steering the image reconstruction application. By using our rapid tool development process, the integration of on-line tools shows to be very convenient and enables an efficient tool deployment.
