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.

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.

What does a juror do?
The Constitution of the United States lists many rights for citizens. A fair trial by jury is one of those rights. A jury is made up of people from the place where the crime happened. These jurors are picked from a pool of citizens. Jurors hear evidence and receive directions from the judge for the case. After hearing the case, jurors decide if a person is guilty or innocent. In some cases, jurors also decide the punishment. This book will explore what it means to be a juror through an inquiry-based approach aligned with C3 standards. --Amazon

Projects 2009 : Art Dubai
This volume serves as the official record of the Art Dubai Projects program for the 2009 edition of the fair. Curated to function as a laboratory for experimental and non-commercial art, Projects 2009 marked a significant maturation of the fair’s role in the Middle Eastern art market. The publication documents a series of site-specific installations, performances, and video works that challenged the boundaries of the traditional art fair booth, emphasizing the social and spatial context of Dubai as a global crossroads.

Exploring the Economic, Social, and Moral Justice Ramifications of the Warhol Decision
Beyond rectifying the interplay of the derivative work right and fair use, Justice Sotomayor’s vigorous, direct, and, at times, combative parrying with the dissent in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith drove a dagger into the free culture movement’s critique of copyright law. The resulting decision repudiates the movement’s campaign to undermine the derivative work right through a simplistic transformativeness shortcut for applying the fair use doctrine. As this Article explains, the Copyright Act’s drafters enhanced the financial rewards to, economic power of, and control of copyrighted works by authors through the grant of a bundle of exclusive rights, including a broad exclusive right to prepare derivative works. The Act tempered those rights through limiting doctrines, express recognition and codification of the fair use doctrine, and a series of statutory limitations, exemptions, and compulsory licenses. The codification of fair use, however, was not intended to “change, narrow, or enlarge” the doctrine outside of its traditional bounds—criticism, commentary, news reporting, educational, and research uses—“in any way.” The legislative history further noted courts’ freedom “to adapt the doctrine to particular situations on a case-by-case basis,” “especially during a period of rapid technological change.” Congress saw licensing as a principal vehicle for supporting cumulative creativity and ensuring fair compensation to and control of derivative uses by authors. Notwithstanding this foundation and the Supreme Court’s faithful interpretation of the fair use doctrine in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., the fair use doctrine veered off course as lower courts collapsed Campbell’s nuanced framework into a simplistic transformativeness analysis. The collision of this approach with the derivative work right prompted the Supreme Court’s intervention. The resulting Warhol decision reinforced the economic and social empowerment undergirding the 1976 Act. After tracing the emergence of the free culture movement and the devolution of the fair use doctrine, this Article explores the economic, social justice, and moral right dimensions of the copyright regime reflected in the Warhol decision.
