Evaluation of projects at student scientific fairs combining value-focused thinking and analytic hierarchy process/ Avaliacao de projetos em feiras cientificas estudantis combinando value-focused thinking and analytic hierarchy process
Student fairs are very popular and one of the main events held at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Mato Grosso do Sul (IFMS) during the National Week of Science and Technology. The challenge at such events is to judge and classify the projects on exhibition. The objective of this study is to present a model for evaluating the projects of student fairs within the scope of the IFMS, considering subjective aspects in the judgment of the evaluators. For this purpose it was adopted an approach involving Value- Focused Thinking (VFT) to identify the objectives and criteria and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for evaluation. The results indicate more consistent judgments considering the subjectivity of the evaluators in relation to the criteria. The proposed approach involving VFT and AHP contributed to the definition of the criteria to be evaluated as well as the degree of importance of each criterion for the overall evaluation of projects. Keywords: Multicriteria Decision Problem. VFT. AHP. Ratings. Projects. Feiras estudantis sao bastante populares e um dos principais eventos realizados no Instituto Federal de Educacao, Ciencia e Tecnologia de Mato Grosso do Sul (IFMS) durante a Semana Nacional de Ciencia e Tecnologia. Um desafio em tais eventos consiste no julgamento e classificacao dos projetos expostos. Este estudo tem por objetivo apresentar um modelo de avaliacao dos projetos das feiras estudantis no ambito do IFMS considerando aspectos subjetivos no julgamento dos avaliadores. Para este proposito foi adotada uma abordagem envolvendo Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) para identificacao dos objetivos e criterios e Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) para avaliacao. Os resultados indicam julgamentos mais consistentes considerando a subjetividade dos avaliadores com relacao aos criterios. A abordagem proposta envolvendo VFT e AHP contribuiu com a definicao dos criterios a serem avaliados assim como o grau de importancia de cada criterio para a avaliacao geral dos projetos. Palavras-chave: Problema de Decisao Multicriterio. VFT. AHP. Ratings. Projetos.

FAIR Principles: Interpretations and Implementation Considerations
The FAIR principles have been widely cited, endorsed and adopted by a broad range
of stakeholders since their publication in 2016. By intention, the 15 FAIR
guiding principles do not dictate specific technological implementations, but
provide
for improving Findability, Accessibility,
Interoperability and Reusability of digital resources. This has likely
contributed to the broad adoption of the FAIR principles, because individual
stakeholder communities can implement their own FAIR solutions. However, it has
also resulted in inconsistent interpretations that carry the risk of leading to
incompatible implementations. Thus, while the FAIR principles are formulated on
a high level and may be interpreted and implemented in different ways, for true
interoperability we need to support convergence in implementation choices that
are widely accessible and (re)-usable. We introduce the concept of
to assist accelerated global
participation and convergence towards accessible, robust, widespread and
consistent FAIR implementations. Any self-identified stakeholder community may
either
to reuse solutions from existing implementations,
or when they spot a gap, accept the
to create the
needed solution, which, ideally, can be used again by other communities in the
future. Here, we provide interpretations and implementation considerations
(choices and challenges) for each FAIR principle.
